BY MARGARET WARNER.

~ HRISTMAS parties are the
4 gayest of the year, and you
will be wanting plenty of
~ frocks to see you through each
evening. Even If the weather man
decides not to give us white Christ
mas, young fashionables will make up
the deficiency by dotting every gala
evening with good measure of white
frocks. If you have several attrac-
tive frocks in gay colors, including
Christmas red, one white gown will
stand out as particularly lovely among
the others, and II it has glitter in the
form of rhinestones or silver Sequins,
it will be quite ideal.
The white frocks under the white
fur coat or cape, or worn with the be-
loved black velvet wrap, makes a stun
ming ensemble, just the sort of thing
the younger crowd loves. All the
shops seem to be showing a generous
number of these evening dresses in
satin, crepe and chiffon, some with
jackets and perhaps more Of them
without jackets.
SKETCHED above we have shown
~ two decidedly different interpreta-
tions of the white gown. At the left
is cleaning white satin studded with
rhinestones, beautifully cut on lines
of smart simplicity that always reg
lister. The v neckline at front is very
good-not too deep or too wide, and
the folds Of drapery from the shoul-
ders and above the belt give fiattering
fullness to a slender figure. The back
is very interesting, as shown in the
inset, and rather Of a surprise con-
sidering the front treatment. This
frock is priced at $29.75 and will meet
the most exacting requirements Of q
holiday formal.
The dress at the right is soft, frothy
chiffon, shirred, pleated and finally
left to fall in graceful folds to the
floor. With the cape removed, there
is a very low-cut bodice with large
pastel flowers across the front. This
dress is also $29.75. 1t is just mat
ter of choice here, for both are equally
lovely.
A DOUBLE-DUTY dress in white
\ chiffon that is being featured in
one OF the large New York shops is
also being shown here. The jacket

puff sleeves Is gathered into waist
band which is widely belted in bright
green grosgrain with two buckles, one
on each side. It has a long bias cut
skirt and simple V-neckeo formal
bodice under the Jacket. This Is ador-
able at $16.95. 1t may also be had in
dream blue with the belt In contrast
ing American beauty.
This shop has such an attractive
assortment Of holiday evening frocks
that our only difficulty was choosing
a few to describe and not getting toe
excited about all of them.
Following somewhat the lines Of the
satin frock sketched, is heavy white
crepe, with little starlike designs in
gold thread with rhinestone centers
scattered over it, which Is worthy oi
consideration.

wv things. And one Of the
favorite tricks Of designers
to achieve the effect is the yoke,
dropped off the shoulders and cover
ing the upper portion of the arm.
In this way the width is acquired
with some subtlety and much smart
ness.
In this frock the yoke is particu-
larly good. 1t is cut like big rec
tangle, worn lengthwise from shoulder
to shoulder. Then a little square por-
ton continues down the front for a
few inches, like a vestee. This part
is buttoned with tiny dressmaker but
tons and there is a narrow. round
collar finishing the high neck. The
blouse is gathered below the yoke, so
that the whole top part Of the dress
Is wide and full.
Sleeves, too, are roomy things, with
a shaped piece at the bottom which
acts as a cuff. The skirt has the
tiniest bit of a flare at the bottom,
produced by narrow panel. There
is q simple belt of suede or leather,
or perhaps made of bit of silk linen

sion: which loves more-men or
women?
Long ago q poet settled this prob
lem by declaring that mans love
is Of mans life a thing apart, It's
woman's whole existence; an opinion
which seems to be pretty well sus-
tanned by the evidence we see all
about us. And now comes along the
warden of a State penitentiary who
clinches the matter by saying:
"A woman prisoner is the forgot
ten woman so far, at least, as her
husband goes. ! cannot recall when
q husband ever came to see his wife
in prison. Wives seldom forget their
husbands who are behind the walls,
but husbands never remember their
wives 1t Is a common sight to see
q woman plead for her husbands re-
lease from prison, but personally I
have never known Of q single hus-
band who has shown that interest in
his wife,"
Apparently, from the warden's OBJ
servation, husbands are fair-weather
lovers and their affections do not
stand the strain Of public disgrace as
women's do. 1t is the wives who, on
every visiting day, keep faithful tryst
with their mates and whisper words
of tenderness and cheer to them
through the bars, and who wait out
side of prison gates to take the poor,
broken, degraded creatures back, and
to so throw about them the cloak

NEAR MRS. POST: You have writ
~ ten repeatedly that Mrs. Mary"
is incorrect and in worst taste, but
what is a stranger supposed to write
If that is the only name she knows?
Which was exactly my predicament
few weeks ago when wished to write
to you.
Answer-"Mrs. Mary" Is in worst
possible taste, socially. Professionally
it must be tolerated because no other
choice can be made by person writ
ing, for example, to some one like
myself, whose married name they do
not know.
Dear Mrs. Post: Why is 1t that an
unmarried woman, whether young or
old, Is often written about in the
paper without her title and that the
youngest married woman Is called
Mrs?
Answer-In the fashionable world
no distinction between Miss and Mrs.
has ever been made and both women
were (and are) given their proper
titles. But In certain palmer circles
of yesterday marriage was exalted to
such an extent that every woman
assumed title with her wedding ring
and poor little spinster got nonel OF
course, don't know what paper you
refer to, but in those I read no dis
tinction Is made between married and
unmarried-as such.

Dear Mrs. Post, When a mother
writes her name Mary Davis Lane
and wishes to have a card engraved
for her young daughter, whose name
is the same, would there be a pref1x
or q SUNK to distinguish the two, or
would the difference be shown In the
size Of the card?
Answer don't quite see how this
situation can occur since the mothers
name must be Mrs. John Lane, or II
she is q divorce. Mrs. Davis Lane,
while the daughters card Is engraved
Miss Mary Davis Lane.

toward the end Of their existence as
a race, invaded North America, DR.. w.
w. Scott of Princeton University, fore
most living authority on the extinct
mammal life Of the New World, told
the academy.
These fantastic animals were the
giant sloths. Their nearest living
relatives are the armadillos and the
clumey tree sloths Of South America.
They belonged near the foot of the
family tree of war1n-b -blooded animals.
Judging from the representatives OF
the race today they were quite reptile
like. Their temperature tended to ad-
just itself to that Of their surround
ings, over a range Of about 80 degrees.
In the course of about 10 million
years they attained enormous size. In
spite of their clumsiness their great
claws gave them dominance over their
world. Largely because Of these claws
they could walk only on the sides OF
their feet, so that their progress was
very slow and clumsy.
These creatures existed, DR.. Scott
said, through the ice-age period and
we'll into the time Of human occupancy
Of the new world. In one cave In
Patagonia there has been found the
remains of q giant sloth which, it Is
apparent, actually was kept in cap
tivity by men and finally was killed
with a blow from a stone club. Then
its captors cut away portions Of its
skin.
The most recent developments In the

changes and the cyclic changes in the
radiation output Of the sun were de-

lined by the National Resources Board.
DR.. Isaiah Bowman, president Of
Johns Hopkins University, last night
told the academy freedom OF scientific
inquiry is threatened through govern
mental expenditures for education.
To-day the threat to freedom in
scientific inquiry takes on a new
guise." he said. Government has
taken advantage Of our perilous need
to give direction to the education OF
youth through the expenditure Of
public funds administered by men
who are but sounding boards for po-
litical leaders. These men are not
being trained as interpreters Of
science. Politics is training them"

apparently disproved that old theory.
Ellsworth's discoveries. if he has
clear weather, may be just as valu-
able in showing how far the noun
tains behind the Edsel Ford range
extend to the east. 1t is possible that
the mountains of which the Ford
range is part run all the way to the
archipelago explored by Wilkins.
Flying over these mountains, or
skirting their southern edge, as Ellis
worth apparently plans to do, will be
dangerous if he has bad weather. He
apparently intends to land. if he meets
fog or storm or overcast sky, not only
for safety, but also to wait for clear
weather that will enable him to see
the terrain and take positions to fix
it upon the map. Such risky pro-
cedure has never been attempted, but
the nature of the flight is such that
he may have to attempt things which
ordinarily would be foolhardy.
Navigating on such fight also
will be difficult unless he is able to
get constant sun sights, for, although
the compass will be fairly reliable on
the first half of the flight-the time
when he will need it most, by the way
it will become increasingly erratic as
he approaches the Magnetic Pole.
Possible Hunt Held Risky.
Although Ellsworth has left in
structions specifying various places
for searchers to look for him If he is
forced down and attempts to walk
out, there is no way they will be able
to tell what place he may make for
except by the elapsed time of his
flight up to the moment his radio
signals cease.
It would be an almost impossible
task to find him, even, If the ship
were successful in quickly reaching
some Of the places he has indicated
as possible objectives. And, as he
will be several hundred miles from
the coast during most Of the flight,
it Is question whether he could walk
that far. A walk Of 100 miles, car
rying what food is necessary, Is be-

travel In the Antarctic, and, even
with a light sledge. it is doubtful II
two men would get very far on foot
with meager equipment. Ellsworth
does not use skis, and they are in
diSpensable for fast travel On that
surface.
Altogether, his flight may be
looked upon as one OF the most haz-
ardous ever undertaken in the polar
regions. and one which will require
the greatest skill and luck to carry
through. If he has good weather
most Of the way, he should make it
and add a good deal to the knowledge
OF the sector where is still the longest
unexplored shore line in the Antarctic.
It Is in many ways the most interest,"

omers no nearer an explanation Of
that cause.
Jumping Synapses" Theory.
A probable neurological basis for
certain effects Of drugs-such, for ex-
ample. as incoherent speech and stag
gering gait due to excess alcohol
was advanced In an interview by
DR.. c. c. S2eidel of the University
Of Virginia in the form Of hypothe-
sis OF jumping synapses."
From the nucleus Of a nerve cell
extend thread-like fibers along which
the impulses travel. The threads of
one nerve cell are In contact with,
but not Joined to, the threads of the
next cell so that there is a continuous
nerve path from the outside of the
body to the brain, made up Of dis
continuous elements.
The break between threads of diff
ferent nerves Is known as "synapse." I"
In the past it has been held that
there was actually an extremely mar
row space over which the nerve i'm
pulse must jump, somewhat as an
electric spark will jump over a gap.
1t now is generally believed, however,
that in their normal condition the
ends are in loose contact so that
there is no real break in the path.
Experimental on TadpoIes.
DR.. Speidel'S observations on tad
poles, In which Gpme Of the nerve
action can be watched through trans
parent bodies, show that the free
endings of nerve fibers in the skin
tend to retract when they come in
contact with alcohol or, it is likely,
other drugs or an electric current
The implication Is that the nerve
endingS in the nerve paths do the
same. Thus the "synapse" becomes a
real gap over which the nerve i'm
pulse must jump.
1t fails to make connections or
makes them with difficulty.
1t is probable the production of
these widened synapses in the cere-
brum, DR.. Speidel believes, that is re-
Sponsible for the less coherent talk of
drunken man. The paths from brain
to tongue are broken. Production of
wider synapses, probable in the cere-
bellum, may be responsible for the un-
steady gait.
The same phenomenon, he believes,
may have an important function in
the production Of analgesia by local
anesthetics. The anesthetic acts on
the free nerve endings. They Jump
back from the surface of the body so
that they are not there to pick up
pain impulses. Once picked up the
pain stimulus cannot be carried along
the nerve path so efficiently.
In so far as this applies to the
synapses. DR.. Speidel explained. it
must be considered as an hypothesis,
since 1t is impossible, at present, to
observe what actually takes place at
the nerve endings. He has expert
mental work in view. however. which
may clear up the subject.
Giant Sloths Discussed.

like claws, 50 clumsy that they could

1920 Safely Landed.
voroshiloff said 1900 men were
transported simultaneously by air dur
ing recent army maneuvers and were
safely landed with full light fighting
equipment. This is more than one
division in man strength, although no
artillery was carried.
Three thousand members of this
aerial army landed with parachutes,
coming down behind the lines of a
theoretical enemy. They were equip
ped with automatic rifles and light
machine guns.
Transport planes landing at the rate
Of 1000 men every 16 minutes brought
to the ground 5000 more soldiers,
Voroshiloff's account said.
Military missions of three European
powers, the commiSSar stated, watched
the landing of 1900 parachutists and
$500 other fighting men. while 1900
more parachutists and $500 regular
troops came to the ground in another
part of the front.
More Volunteers Than Needed.
Voroshiloff declared the users of the
parachutes were drawn solely from
among volunteers, who offered them
selves in such numbers that many had
to be rejected.
The satisfactory performance of
tanks, thousands of which the Red
Army possesses, was also reported.
They were used successfully in travers-
ing swampS, fording rivers and cross
ing bays, the commissar stated.
