The short skirt has already had rejuve-

generally agreed that the chemise has saved
the manufacturers Of womenS apparel. 1t
began this way:
The chemise was first introduced in Paris
in February Of 1855 by BaIenciaga. Higher
priced houses fought it - leaving the field
open to manufacturers of low and medium
priced dresses. In the past, fashion has usu-
ally trickled down from the high-Style pace
settlers to the mass market. In the case of
the chemise it was only after acceptance by
the mass market that such fashion settlers as
Princess Margaret stated their approval.

As economists our interest in the chemise with its
short skirt was stimulated when we discovered that
change in hemlines is generally followed by change
in business activity.
As our chart indicates, drop in hemlneS has usI-
ally been followed by drop in business. And when
hemlines have gone up, the reverse has been true

The "FIapper" Prosperity
The current chemise fashion harks back to the
Roaring TwentieS. The only noticeable difference is
that with the apper fashions the female form lost the
bosom well as the waistine. HemIineS started to
rise in 1922 following the postwar depression. And as
business picked up hemlines still higher reaching
knee length about 1926 and remaining there until the

British and Russian Trawlers Tangle
 Over Fishing Grounds

ABERDEEN, Scotland, R = A British gunboat sailed into fish ing grounds off the Norwegian coast Thursday to sort out a tangle between British and Rus sian trawlers.
 Shippers of the British vessels messaged that the Russians were cutting through nets in the Vik- ing herring grounds about 26O miles northeast of Aberdeen. One irate skipper radioed there seemed to be about 400 Russian trawlers strung out from horizon to horizon. The half dozen or so British trawlers in the area were having trouble finding good berths, the message added.
 The Royal Navy ordered H.M.S. Belton-a 36O-ton converted mine sweeper now on fisheries pro- lection duties-off to investigate.
 The Belton reported back she had contacted the shippers of 10 Russian trawlers and all appeared quiet.
 A Navy spokesman explained Wednesday that Russia has in creased her fishing fleet so rap idly recently that many of the ships now are manned by crews who don't know the international ropes.
 "When we tell them they are doing the wrong thing they are usually only too grateful for the information" the spokesman said

New Proposal For Fishing Rights Not Acceptable

' WASHINGTON, R-Rep. Pel- ly R-Wash) advised the United States delegation at Geneva Wed. that new proposal governing fish ing rights ''is not acceptable to the fishing industry"
 He made the statement in a telegram to Arthur H. Dean, chairman of the U. s. delegation at the International Conference of Law of the Sea.
 The new proposal advanced by Dean, would give each nation jurisdiction over a six-mile off shore area for military purposes with six-mile continuous zone in which it would control fishing rights.
 Dean proposed, however, that jurisdiction over an area for fishing purposes would not ex- clude nationals of another coun- try who have acquired historic rights to fish in the area over a previous 10-year period.
 Pelly advised the U. s. dele gation chairman this proposal as applied to the Pacific Northwest would cede to Canada 20 per cent of troll and 35 per cent of trawl catch, thus curtailing pro- duction in ruinous proportions. 2
 He said it would make con servation impossible and would be wholly unsatisfactory

U. s. Models vs.
 Russian Sputnik At Worlds Fair

BRUSSELS, Belgium, tR - King Baudouin opened the post war worlds biggest international exposition and declared: ''the aim of this Worlds Fair is to create an atmosphere of under standing and peace"
 It was a chill, gray day and whistling wind made it overcoat weather, but failed to hold down the crowds.
 Hundreds poured into the American and Russian pavilions. During the first hours, the crowds appeared to be slightly larger at the beautiful circular Amer ican show. But the throngs at the Russian hall were not much smaller.
 Chief attraction of the Soviets appeared to be models of their challenging sputniks. The main interests at the U. s. exhibition was bevy of beautiful girls some in brief bathing suits. No body whistled at the sputniks.
 The Russians put out a large guest book and invited visitors to make comments. "This is large, lovely pavil- ion,'' wrote one, keep up the good work
 1t is all propaganda" said another.
 Both were written in French The Americans had no guest book
 Both countries opened with traditional ribbon cutting cere- monies. The Americans had a message from President Eisen- hover, greeting the first guests and app1auding the fair. There was none from Nikita Khrush- chev, Soviet Premier.
 Soviet Ambassador Victor Avi- lov opened the tall, rectangular Russian show. He made no speech. The Americans had plen- ty of speech making Visitors shivered in the cold weather dur ing the oratory.
 The Russian exhibit appeared to be completely ready. The American show was not
