"A Night at Earl CAROLS"
A reputable connoisseur of beauty.
Carroll has watched and studied
Americas passing fads and fancies
in beauty from the elaborately-
curved Gibson Girl, to the slender
lied gazelle Of a few years ago.
All these various standards Of
beauty, witnessed in the past 40 years
have had some concrete sociological
cause" AYERS Carroll Naturally,
beauty doesn't cause revolutions in
thought; hence thought sets up its
own new standards Of beauty.
No Basic Standard.
And because great leaders of to-
day are at variance with each other,
because governments are a scramble
of power politics, because the staple
arts and industry are being revolu-
tioniZed, it is altogether reasonable
that there be no basic standard of
beauty today"
The Gibson Girl along with her
Floradora contemporaries, Lillian
Russell and Anna Held, was a re-
Election of her day Carroll explained.
World activities had to change con-
siderably before the contour figure
lost favor. In those years, every
thing, he said, was in state of sham
romance. Even the Spanish -Ameri-
can War was made romantic, he
pointed out, by popular ballads, one
OF which was to have made 1t easier
on mothers who sent sons. Hence
the popularity of hourglass figure.

think along other lines about 1910"

for D. w. Griffith to establish new
trend with Miss Gish For some
thing like four years he battled it
out with characteristic tenacity until
the World War came After that it
was easy. The worlc had changed,
and Lillian Gish hau set a new
standard Of beauty.

Measure Which Was

WASHINGTON, May l. - The
House Judiciary Committee today
killed the Hatch Bill which embod-
led regulation of the activities of
state employees paid by Federal funds.
The committee ordered the bill,
which was passed by the Senate a
month ago after a long fight, to be
tabled which means that it will be
stuffed away in pigeonhole. The
vote was not announced, and Chair
man Summers declined to discuss
the matter
In addition to restricting political
activities of state employees paid in
whole or part with Federal funds,
the measure would also have limited
the personal campaign contributions
to $4,000.

The Democratic party yesterday
polled a heavy majority of the vote
cast in the Territorial biennial pri-

returns received by The Empire
from % out of the Sc precincts
in the First Division. These in
cluded Juneau and Ketchikan, Sit

voting places.
1t is estimated that the vote re-
ported is more than so percent OF

all sections from Skagway to Met
lakatla and the West Coast.
About Three to One
On the basis of the vote cast for
candidates for nominations for

approximately three votes to one

spectively as Auditor and Highway
Engineer, have won over their OPP
ponents, r. E. Sheldon, Fairbanks,

returns are received from the other
three divisions, there is no abso-
lutte certainty of the outcome in
these contests.
