Fashions and Morality.
CNew York herald Tribune)


 Those who read the fashion dispatches from Paris and every who witnesses the news reels with their style reviews are aware that in Paris crowns going up. Hat crowns, that is, are being elevated, model by hatmaker named Agnes achieving the unprecedented altitude of inches and it seems possible that womens chapeaux may yet rival the proportions of the masculine topper Students of the history of France in the Middle Ages will recall how the exaggeratedly high hat style affected by the of the late fourteenth century and known the hennin aroused the wrath of Friar Thomas Couette and Friar Pierre des Gros These practical dress reformers urged the urchins of Paris, whenever they saw lady of fashion with this steeple crowned headgear above hair coffured in the high "atours" of the current fashion, to after them shouting "Au hennin! Au hennin!" to excite scorn and ridicue.
 But the circumstances that cleric rises in his pulpit to shout "Au henninl" at Agness seven inch crown suggests the observation that fashions and morality are of late becoming and more widely dissociated Short skirts provoked the uproar that the hobble skirt did, and the ab- brevated one-piece bathing suit of recent summers caused but minor ripple, and that among the unco pious only. It may be only a trivial straw in the wind, but the passing of the notion that costume has anything to do with godliness and the conse- quent of tolerance of fashions either feminine or masculine would seem to be indication, if only minor one, of advancing civilization.

PORTER J. McCUMBER.

Father of the pure food laws of the country and co-author of the intensely criticised and ardently defended Fordney- -McCumber tariff act of 1922, Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota, who died last week in Washington, D. c, his career in the United States Senate terminated in the hour of its greatest achievement
 The Republicans had returned to power in tional politics in 1920 and McCumber, kept in the Senate in 1916 by large majority despite general Democratic victory, rose to second place on the powerful Finance Committee Only the veteran Boies Penrose outranked him. Then, in January, 1922 the famous chief of Pennsylvania Republican, ism died, and McCumber automatically was ele- vated to the Charmanship and to his most profound ambition. He inherited along with Senator Penrose's mantle title to the unfinished tariff bill which in creased the duties industrial imports to point never before reached in history.
 But fate was to rob him of perhaps long and remarkable tenure of the Charmanship. At the pri- mary election in 1922 Lynn J. Frazier, Nonpartisan Leaguer who had been recalled from the Governorshp in a Statewide referendum, upset all expectations and defeated McCumber for the Republican nom nation
 Tt is the fortune of war and that is all there is to it." said the vanquished campaigner whose experience trailed back a quarter of century of North Dakota politics In few weeks he was in the fight for Frazier, supporting him because he bore the Republican stamp"
 Sent to the United States Senate for the first time in 1899, he joined of Americas greatest leaders in discussions of momentous international questions Aftermath of the war with Spain and the problems presented by Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines were among his first subjects of debate. He introduced joint resolution for the appointment of commission to investigate the commercial conditions of China and Japan.
 Placed the Committees on Claims, Indians Af- fairs and Pensions McCumber's clear analysis of important questions gave him distinction. His fight for Prohibition made him national figure. He prosecuted long and bitter struggle for the pure food laws which do not bear his name but for which political circles gave him the credit. Ap-

FACING FORWARD.

During his four years O: tenure and in his cam pagn for reelection last year President Hoover had no warmer supporter than Henry Ford. Perhaps none of the great industrial leaders of the United States was so aggressive in his efforts on behalf of President Hoover as MT Ford None was quite so certain that MT Hoover's reelection was so vital to the security and recovery of the nation.
 It is therefore, of significance that the Detroit manufacturer has recently in an advertisement appearing in Eastern newspapers his own sigma ture hailed the program of President Roosevelt as great thing" His conversion to the Roosevelt banner is apparently without reservation. In part MT. Ford said:
 great thing has occurred amongst
 We have made a complete turn around, and
 at last Americas face is toward the future.
 Three years-1929 to 1932-we Americans looked backward. All our old financial and economic machinery geared to pull us out of the depression by the same door through which entered. We thought it simply a case of going back by the way we
 came It failed. We realize the way
 is forward-through it.
 Thanks for that belongs to President
 Roosevelt. Inauguration Day he turned the
 Ship of State around. Having observed the
 failure of sincere efforts to haul us back the
 way came, he designed a new method
 political and financial machinery = to
 pull us out the way going-forward.
 He is clearing the international obstacles out
 of the way; he does not stand in awe of
 tariffs The people begin to feel he does
 not take advice from the interests" that
 he has courage and loyalty to work for
 one supreme interest only-the welfare of
 the American people. That is big achieve
 ment for two months in office.
 And now we all look to what is com-
 ing; we grow less and less concerned with
 what is behind We looking for hand
 hold on the haul rope. Every man wants
 to do what he can, and all he can.
 Every day finds the spirit voiced in MT. Fords statement more and prevalent throughout the country We are doing something. The nation is in forward motion, not dling or retrogressing, waiting for something to happen. To overcome the inertia of three years with its doctrine of let time cure the evils visited upon us, and to replace that psychology with of confidence and courage, is as MT Ford has said great thing"

Lindbergh at Court.
(New York World Telegraph

(New York World-Telegram)
 America is so familiar with the facts of the Lindbergh Kidnapping case that most people could recite them backward forward And yet in Washington on Tuesday lawyers and the court had Colonel Charles A. Lndbergh submit once more to the agony of telling of the ghastly tragedy, reciting all the heart-rending details before crowd that jammed the court chamber.
 Did you ever seem him alive again?" Colonel Lndbedgh was asked. No" Did you ever see him dead?" q did"
 Such testimony has been put into court records time and again since the Kidnapping. Yet stiff and uncompromsing rules and habits of legal practice plus the fact of the many different legal jurisdic- tions in this country bring about the perpetuation of such useless legaistic torture that inflicted upon the father of the kidnapped and brutally mur- dered Charles A. Lindbergh Jr, in Washington Tuesday.
