CLOTHES. CRITICISM. ETCETERA
Discussion of woman's clothes
l«i * as abbreviated as the subject
il 'riiB'r 1. Sometimes it j'^m? over
much ;n Burl. Perhaps this Is an
Instance of that. Perhaps, ton, the
eima may he said of Bishop Gticr
tm’s critic *rn of certain features of
dress sffei.srd by some women now*
a da is. though we think a part of It
l.v richly merited and If It serves to
stimulate public opinion against the
questionable tendencies which me
being flaunted It will be worth while.
< hest»rfle|d said: "Style is the dress
of the thoughts," and this tiring ad
mitted one nerd not go far to observe
instances of shameless thoughts.
There undoubtedly is too much easy
going tolerance In this respect, but
matters will nowise he improved by
swinging to the other extreme. In
tolerance in attempting to circum
scribe fashion by the dictates of as
cetlcs or bus' bodies would surely
create a revulsion the result of which
would be worse than what we now
h
'Modern stales In women's clothing
are direct!v responsible for much of
the tu moil In the world today,"
ss.d i e bishop. If that Is so man s
mental attitude is In a had way, for
Isn't it admitted that after all, aside
from gratifying a desire to excite
■ • women's envy style is designed
to a• act yie fancy of the male?
And if the Yatter happens to be a
roude t.ai an the wearer might sub
mit patiently to th» advice;
'Be plain In dress, and sober In
■■our diet,
•'In short, mv deary, kiss me, and
be quiet "
Good advice, but nonagenarians
ate rot being looked to for advice by
t women of this generation, it
'• ! se-rn, fn wint about those to
w hi n to- do turn for advice, and
v It about their gnoft furfr—or lack
of it—in following that advice?
Th» worthy bishop remarked that
the present st\!rs do r.ot command
the respect which should be accord
ed to » mother. AVe submit that
much depends on the woman who is
wearing them. And furthermore It
Is painfully evident some of the men
are not looking for that kind. Hasn't
the bishop got the cart before the
horse, mistaken the effect for the
cause? fnder the present fashions
women may dress as modestly as
any wholesome minded person might
w ish, and yet be attractively and ap- j
propriately apparelled. They have ]
ehararter and brains and dress i
somewhat In accord with those qual- !
Hies; they are capable of estimating
the ogling of sap-headed males at
a proper valuation—or rather depre
elation. They don’t aeek attention
from auch and don't flaunt a style to
Invite It. So by nil means recognize
their superior Intelligence and com
mend It. All of which, may embody
a suggestion to look for other cause

! of trouble than In mere style of ap
parel. v
And In passing’, it seems but just to
remark that unwise, narrow-minded
criticism adds fuel to the flames.
Comment should be based on decency
and employed with common sense.
Only a few weeks ago there was an
! outcry against gills wearing bobbed
. hair. Some employers saw, as they
thought, an opportunity for free ad
■ vertisir.g in announcing that they
; would not employ girls with that va
, riety of headdress. They got the ad
vertising, all right, hut if they only
knew all they wouldn't feel flattered.
; A girl has as much right in decency
to have her hair bobbed as has her
brother in having his cut pompadour
—and they do say both styles are
conducive to the health of the hair,
I cleanliness and freedom from dan
druff!
HANDLE NOT LONG ENOUGH?
! Are the Russians and Germans
seeking to "make monkeys'* of the
1 Allies through the medium of the
; Genoa Conference? That would seem
to he a reasonable Inference from
l the reports.
| "Lloyd George, reluctant to return
j to Kngland without the trade conces
sions in Russia for which there is
1 such a clamor, seems to have been led
along by one promise after another
until he is confronted with the im
( possible. If he doesn't already real
ize that he who sups with tlie devil
needs a long-handled spoon he is in
I a fair way to do so if the half that
; is told he approximately true.
Russia's treaty with Germany
stands and she is said to be making
another with Hungary. Fhe has
contributed to discord from the mo
ment the conference opened. Judged
from this distance there would seem
I to he method In what but for that
j might be characterized madness on
i thp part of the Rolsheviki.
, If such assumption be correct
! there would seem to be every rea
son why France and England should
he forced into closer accord hut even
with respect to this we are told the |
manoeuvres of the Rolsheviki have ]
served to intensify the Irritation
that previously existed. About the
only consolation possible from the j
stand point of the Allies at this writ
ing is that the reports are not al
together trustworthy.
ABOUT THE MOUND BUILDERS
The work of "The Mound Build
ers," the precursors or ancestors of j
the North American Indian who con- :
structed many and varying earth
structures, some mounds, others to
represent, a serpent or officios of
saurians, has for many years afford- !
ed more or less interest to the eth- j
nolopists. i
W. K. Moorehend, the archeologist,
who in the past has done much re
search work among them, is now en
caged near'East St. Eouis excavat
ing and exploring three cemeteries
and the evidence he has collected he
says confirms the theory that the
mounds are of human construction
rather than natural hills. He is es
pecially interested to find in one of
them evidences that the builders of it i
had some knowledge of the smelting 1
of lead, a 6emi-circular smelter of j
baked clay being found and beside it ;
chunks of lead. This metal is men- j
tioned in the Book of Numbers as
among the spoils taken from the Mid- j
ianites, evidence that the art of 1
.'melting: it was known in some form
in those days.

There is still a strong current in
the Kennebec river ns a reminder of i
the rerent high tides near the head of j

Many have wondered what the re
sult of the Bath school canvass this
year would show and, according to
figures given by Superintendent ;
Charles Lester Smith, the number ns j
shown by the returns of the assist
ant assessors, which have been
turned over to bun, indicate that
there are this year 2700 children of
school ago in the city against 3100
one year ago, April 1. This indicates •
a loss of about TOO children of school 1
age and Mr. Smith says that a casual
review of the figures submitted, indi- '
cates that it. is pupils of the lower \
grades which predominate in this j
falling off in numbers.

The tearing down of the n^ Clark
basket, shop on lMgh Ft reef, Oxford, re
calls to t^e minds of the older people
of Oxford the days when this building
was the scene of much activity; The
owner. Morris Clark, Is Oxford's old
est man. Mr. Clark was born in a see
tion of Naples called "Fp Tunket" in
1834. Until the age of 21 ho aided his
father on tlm farm and during the
winter months they were both very
busy making shoo!:. He then came to
Oxford and was employed by Orin
Jones ns a. sawyer In his saw mill.
This mill was one of the old-fashioned
kind, the saw being an "up anil down"
saw, run b.v water power. In ISfit. Mr.
('lark married Mary Dunn, of Poland
and ‘they purchased the farm now
owned by Alvin Marr. Ten years later
Morris Clark, George. 'Whitney and
James Holden formed a company and
began manufacturing shocks. They
employed 20 men. these men were able
to get out ]00 shook a day which was
considered a largo output In those
days. Eater 'Whitney <fc Clark ;Ss

business and they then added a saw

But It Is Somebody’s
(Boston .Herald)
It is not the gunmen's fault that so
many jails are half full or empty.
Greater Volume—Better Feeling
(Washington Tost)
The Department of Commerce re
ports not only a greater volume of
retail trade and a better feeling gen
erally prevailing; but also better
fundamental conditions throughout
ttie country. It lays special stress on
the marked increases in irorf and
steel activity and the outstanding in
crease in construction—both sure in
dexes of returning prosperity'. While
the coal strike has resulted in nearly
total cessation of work in the an
thracite mines and a reduction of
more than 56 per cent in the bitu
minous coni output industrial pro
cesses, transportation and business
in general have been so far but little
affected by this cause on account of
tlm exceptionally heavy stocks of
coal on hand. This state of affairs
can not, however, be expected to last
indefinitely, and an early settlement
of the strike is imperative If renas
eept prosperity is to be fostered and
developed to its due proportions.
Labor Irresponsibility
(N. Y. Tribune)
Samuel Gompers, who spent some
years in the shadow of a jail sen
trnre Imposed by a judge who made
an extreme application of the law
of injunction, ijpturally is prejudiced
against American courts. "God save
labor from the courts!” he exclaims.
He carries yery far the doctrine
of the irresponsibility of labor
unions and their numbers. Work
on a $00,000,000 power plant at Hr 11
Gate has h~pn held up for six months
because of a jurisdictional contro
versy between the sicamfitters and
the plumbers. The plumbers have
| refused to obey a decision of their
; own national organization and th"
ruined contractor is willing to hire
either crowd.
Mr. Gompers, asserting that the
American Federation of Labor lias
no authority to enforce a settlement,
justifics its non-action on the ground
that to work or not, to work is a
personal right, not to he interfered
with by either the unions or the
courts. He, argues that a union
! may not expel for refusal to work
and that the courts cannot order
I men to perform any specific duty
; except in prison.
The rinsed shop would make it
impossible to biro any one unless
i under terms satisfactory to the
. union: then, on each particular Job,
individual liberty would came to
lifo and a local group could walk
• out and stay out ns it pleased. The
condition is "one of the risks of in
dustry,” blandly says Mr. Gompers.
, He would have things both ways—
could hamstring an .employer both
coming and going.
The merits or foments of the
courts have no bearing on the Issue
thus raised. Mr. Gompers upholds
an economic monstrosity—one that
would involve employees in a ruin
eoual to that it would bring to em
ployers. It Is bottomed on the
heresy that it, is good for labor to
make work scarce and production
smnjl.
Tt is basic to collective bargaining
that both sides shall kerp their agree
ments. If the unions, out of respect.
: to thejr own honor and interest, do
not control their members then
there must, he incorporation of the
unions and the exaction of money
or other pledges to be forfeited in
case of breach of contract.

being at one time council for the.
