We seem to have passed notable
anniversary recently without realiz-
ing it. For it was on May 27, 1887
just a century ago-that a de-
termined lady named Amelia
Bloomer first appeared in public to
demonstrate woman'S right to dress
for comfort and convenience.
The outfit she wore was some
thing of a cross between pair of
trousers and a circus tent. 1t had
no faint resemblance to the frilly
wispy things that go by the name
of boomers today. It's billowy pants
legs came to the ankle, and each leg
contained enough solid fabric to
outfit an officefull Of 1897 model
stenographers.
But for its day it was a daring
and somewhat shocking creation.
Amelia Bloomer was denounced and
thundered at She stuck to her
guns, inquiring how woman could
be expected to be active in the
triple -petticoated dust mops that
went by the name of skirts in those
days; and in the slow progress OF
the years woman's right to dress
sensibly was at length won.
X
Today's woman, who meets the
hot summer days in clothes that are
light, cool and comfortable-While
the superior male swelters through
them in out-of-date garments which
are none of those things-may neV-
er have heard of Amelia, but she
owes her something just the same.
For Amelia was one of those
fortnight American females who
established the great tradition OF
feminine independence. These Wo-
men were direct actionistS; when
they saw something wrong with

IMPERIAL COUNTY LEADS
THE WAY AGAIN

Imperial county, in the far southeast
ern corner of California, thinly popu-
lated as counties in this state go, has
originated more than its share of state
wide and nationwide movements; for
example, Boulder Dam legislation, Paci-
fic Greyhound stages, and many others.
Now, under the guiding hand of the
American Legions, California's first
Boys State is about to be held at Sacra-
mento 1t will be patterned after other
successful movements in other states
but the fact remains that Imperial coun-
ty Legionnaires started the idea in Cali
fornia.
1t is fitting, then, that 20 boys will
leave here Friday for Sacramento to
take part in the program in which boys
will hold down official positions in
what will be, for the time, their own
state government. San Diego county,
far more thickly populated than 1mpe
rial county, is sending only seven boys.
This time, Imperial county owes its
place in the sun to the American Legion
and to the 20 outstanding boys who
will play a serious game of government
at Sacramento Without sentimentality,
we may say that we see the leaders of
today coaching the leaders of tomorrow
in their responsibility.

NEW YORK. June 17-From a
box office standpoint at least, the
beautiful Clare Boothe carried off
the seasons playWrighting honorS
in her play so hilariouSly packed
with feminine meowS and called
THE Women" All the well-sharp-
ened critical jayelins so fiercely
hurled fell blunted.
There are many versed eXpertly
in dramaturgy who see in her opus
bitter realism that the critics en-
tirely muffed She was shooting
higher than was noticed in the
first hurried criticisms. SO she
could just now, if so minded, litter
just a bit cynically behind the
tabled fan.
But those who know Miss Boothe
say she bears no grievance. The
public liked her play and paid hand
somely to see it. In many ways
she has become one of the most
fortunate ladies in the New York
scene And all i'll a year. Before
that she was known chiefly as a
contributor to Vanity Fair.
During the past year She not
only turned in a play that keeps a
waiting line at the box office, but
married the spectacular weekly
magazine maker Henry Luce, who
in a few years has amassed one of
the largest publishing fortunes out
of Time, Fortune and Life.
Bob Ripley recently revealed why
he clung to single blessedness, in a

the outlandish and odd. Yet, as a
matter of fact, Rip is extremely
home conscious. He has always lived
in apartments where he could eX-
press domestic cheer. Aside from his

he has a 20-room mansion on a vast
