Ii the Biblical line Eve was the first mo diste. Styles began when the eyes of Adanj and Eve were opened and they knew nakedness; Fig leaves sewed together were one sequel to Jthe first disobedience. Beginning as a cover for shame, fashions in attire have had myriad variations since the days of Eden. The antiquarians have shown us that some of our latter-day modes were in vogue , 5,000 years lago. Fashion like history repeats itself. Thirty- nve hundred years before . Christ there were pancy hat bands, braid on the back of gloves, blocked stockings, rosettes and cockades. Ethnologists see revelations of character in clothes, concerning which there has been con troversy from the' start, and violent differences of Opinion. All fashions come and go in criti cism and denunciation. Whatever comes, no matter how grotesque or hideous, whether nose rings' and bells on the toes, or prim Quaker garb, there are always people to adopt them. Recent years have witnessed divisions of opinion over the propriety or impropriety of kvomen's garb. The tight gown, the slit skirt, Jthe display of calves, bare chests and backs, Ihave all been interminably discussed with a tninimum of effect. Genesis does not disclose jwhich of the first pair suggested aprons. We are told only that "they knew they were naked: I mi they sewed fi leaves together and made hemstlves aprons." But this did not satisfy leity, for "unto Adam also and to his wife did he' Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed hem," since when woman has been inordinately ond of furs. f The learned Mark Webb of London once laid modesty- itself is merely a fashion, forti- ying his statement with the fact that in certain African tribes the virtuous women all go naked, rule the wantons alone wear clothes, perhaps ecause there can be no indecent exposure with out the manipulation of drapery, and no sug gestion where nothing is left to the imagination.. A hundred and twenty years ago, in a streak pf fashionable physical revelations by women he Church of Rome showed its disapproval of stich fashions in a papal bull which was sum marized as follows: The pope, so long engaged in reducing the Galfican church within the Catholic pale, has-not been negligent of the duty of recall ing' the female form within the petticoat and the" handkerchief. After speaking in ap propriate terms of the present scarcity in clothing and of the sensation it may excite even in the withered bosom of a monk, his holiness strictly enjoins his officers, civil and cclesiasticalj to repress by fine, or corporal punishment (spanking was effective in many cases), according to the circumstances, these crying enormities. He directs that their punishment should be extended to such damsels as, though at first sight they appear properly attired, are nevertheless decked in transparent robes, and with a voluptuous and magnificent attire dis play themselves in very seductive, and tempt ing attitudes. . : Moreover, fathers, husbands, heads of families who weakly or negligently permit their wives, daughters, servants, etc., to. tres pass against these rules shall not escape with impunity. , Also, all tailors, haberdashers, milliners and man milliners, hair dressers and others who contribute to these enormities of dress shall in no wise pass unpunished. :What prevailed in the fashions of 1800 exists ;oaay, as ail who have eyes may see. It existed n Corinth when Paul wrote his epistles to the church there. Jt was in. evidence in Alexan- lria,jthe seat of the most famous of ancient ibraries. Today it is visible in Paris, Nice, Mew1. York and every American city. The pul pits, Catholic and Protestant, thunder against t in vain. Born of universal desire by women to be beautiful, alluring and physically attrac tive, we see no prospect of its abatement in the uture. It is one of the ways of the world, a part of human nature that is irrepressible.- .V- ' ' ' ; The Remark That Will Not Be Forgotten. ' - tVI :I j : Ti t-- s-f jvcar Aumirai rteuson is me naval omcer "vho told Admiral Sims to be watchful of the j JJritish when he went to European waters with ijkmerica's small initial contribution to the Al iped forces on the water. The rear admiral told pirns? "We would as soon fight the British as he Germans," and repeated the amazing state- ;nent" to other naval officers six months later, hen Admiral Sims was almost in despair of fever "getting any real help from the president to check Germany's terrible submarine cam paign. i With such statements as Benson was mak- ng can any one doubt the healf-hearted policy at Washington? It is exactly in line with the president's policy announced shortly after con press declared a state of war to exist, that we would send no soldiers to France for a year. Bill we sent some that very summer, thank pod, and more in the later months. The policy )f truancy was smashed by an aroused public. nd now, little by little, we are getting hints of what; was going on among the pacifists in jower at Washington. Speed the day when we ihall know the whole truth about theml Taking the "Intelligence" Test. a A university professor has been" trying some nteresting experiments in the way of applying he army "intelligence" tests to different groups pf Omaha citizens. The results are interesting or several reasons, but in no way more so than is showing the comparison between the school eachers and certain business men.' It is not lurprising, of course, that the school teacher ihould be registered "superior." If she was lbt, she would not be a school teacher. But ihe,migbt fall down lamentably, were the test , tppfied from another angle. The fact that she s employed in opening the mind and polishing he intellect of the youngsters who fall under Pier ministrations shows that she lacks certain lements that must be present in the successful business man. "Book larnin' " is an advantage in many ways, of value in polite society, but seldom entirely appreciated by those who en gage in the sharp competition of life. Wits sharpened by attrition against other wits, energy stimulated and vitalized by contact with equally alert rivals, are the real equipment of the men who have built up the great enterprises of the world. Vision, imagination and courage are the basis, a liberal education the stimulus, and eternal application the process whereby success is achieved. Some form of intelligence test is applied to each man, every, day, and he must register 100 per cent every time if he ex pects to "get by" in the examination. What About the Boys of Today? Several instances have been recorded in the news columns lately that must have challenged attention, because of their shocking nature. At Pueblo a school boy was beaten to death by some companions who were envious of his standing in his classes. From St. Joseph comes word of how another group of school boys poisoned one who had outstripped them in athletics. Omaha affords a father who had his son arrested because the boy played truant from school on a bright day and drove the family car out into the country. The "students' prank" at the Kansas normal school, where grown-up boys and girls playfully threw profes sors into a deep pond has already been com mented upon. What does this all mean? First of all, it supports a conclusion long ago reached by scientists, that the normal boy around the-age of 12 to IS is a savage. He requires not only watchful care but skilled guidance. Where will he get this? Home training should be the best method for subduing the unruly instincts of the growing boy. Discipline is irksome to him, he does not brook restraint, and chafes under the routine of school work. He turns to destruc tion, to the exhibition of primitive impulses naturally and with little ruth. And just here is where the duty of the parent that is more than an obligation manifests itself. Fathers can do for their boys something nobody else, not even mother, can. The active sympathy and perfect understanding needed to bring a boy through this critical time involve something more' than correctional prac tices, or even precept Comradeship, confidence, the intimacy of real companionship, must exist between1 father and son, if the danger time is to be successfully weathered. A boy looks up to his father as to no one else, but the father may easily forfeit that respect. Nor is any business known quite so important as that of helping the boy. Parental responsibility can not be safely shirked. Those who 'for any selfish reason un dertake to avoid it are not only cheating their children of their just dues, but are defrauding society.. They have brought potential men and women into the world, and they should see to it that these are prepared for all the active duties of life. Sunday Amusements. A phase of the never settled dispute over proper observance of the Sabbath is noted at Fremont, where a woman's club is seeking in a local campaign to stop Sunday movies. The vital issue in this, as in all other controversies over legal restrictions on Sabbath activities, rests on a broader question than the suppres sion of movies, or base ball, or golf, on the first day of the week. That question is: Shall public observance of the Christian Sabbath be compelled and enforced by law? Over private observance of the day there is no discussion. Nobody seeks to interfere with the most rigid obedience to the dictates of the individual con science. ' But many rebel against the enforce ment of religious restrictions on people whose beliefs are not in accord with those of the church authorities. It all goes back to the interrogation: "Was man made for the Sab bath or was the Sabbath made for man?" t In the early days of New England there ex isted an enforcement of sabbatical rules of the strictest sort. It did not long continue. It was too harsh and intolerant to endure. Since then liberty has often degenerated, especially in the large cities, into license There have been inevitable conflicts in the readjustments since the years of militant Puritanism. Under the religious freedom guaranteed by our con stitution there has been little room for despot ism, on the Sabbath or any other day; and on the whole a decent regard for the day exists all over the land. At the same time it has come to be generally recognized that religious prin ciples cannot be planted in the hearts of people by force. The religion of Christ is a gentle in fluence, not one of fear or force. And yet, many difficulties beset the open-minded thinker when he attempts y arrive at a fair conclusion. Against immoral public amusements on the Sabbath or any other day there can be no division of sentiment. But what of innocent recreations on that day? ; : "What is truth?" said jesting Pilate, and would not stay for an answer. Coal Miners and Common Sense. If one were inclined to be sardonic, a grin at least would be extracted from the attitude of the Illinois coal miners. Last fall when they went on strike, we were told it was to enforce the demand for a thirty-hour week, that being necessary to secure steady employment for all men engaged in mining. A demand for in creased wages' was coupled with this. After voluntary idleness for a considerable period as a protest against enforced idleness, the men were induced to return to work at an increased rate of pay. Lately another award in their favor has been made, and the operators were looking forward to a busy summer. But the miners propose to strike on April 1, and remain idle indefinitely. Instead of being unemployed be cause of lack of work, they are going to loaf because there is too much work. The illogical aspect of their course does not occur to them. They are solemnly defying their union officers, .the courts, the government and everything else in the world. It is their heaven-sent privilege to loaf, and they are going to loaf, but how their idleness will help solve the problems of industry not yet made clear. Common sense does not enter very largely into the present strike program of the miners. We would suggest to our democratic friends that "Big Jeff" can take care of himself. Mr. Bryan is finding out whether that "sting of ingratitude" really stung. A Line 0' Type or Two Haw to tha Una. M tha ulai fall whare tha nay.

Now, night by night, the moon her circle nils With plentltude of borrowed argent ore, That, wondrously difflusing, she doth pour Upon the fields and woods and on the hills, 1 Until it seems they have no other wills Than hers until, enamoured more and more. Enchantment holds them thrall, forgot their store Of care, forgot their man-Invented Ills. Alas, of short duration is their dream; Soon, night by night, her debt tha sad moon pays; ' Unplamoured then, the Hours are poor indeed, Stumbling In darkness, knowing not her gleam, Until, at last, they see within the Day's Bright courts, a faded slave that none doth heed. C. G. B. When we lamped the title of a new booklet, "The Present Crisis and a Way Out," by Chapin, we thought it was Chapin of Chapin & Gore; but, pshaw 1 it referred to quite another crisis. Comparative Slavery. Sir: A man Just returned from a brief jvisit to Ireland records that the first and most' per manent impression made on him is that, after all. liberty and slavery are comparatively relative. One evening1- as he was proceeding to his hotel he happened to see a squad of policemen dragging an unfortunate householder from his home and hustling him into a military lorry guarded by soldiers. Jt appears that they had been ransacking the house for some suspects "on the run," and having been disappointed in the objects , of their quest, . good-naturedly thought they might as well give somebody a free ride anyway. "Did you ever see a more despotic act; this man is a most respectable citizen and perfectly innocent. I tell you this is the most downtrodden country in the world," remarked a bystander. The event so upset my friend that on his ar rival at the hotel he sauntered into the bar and asked for a much needed stimulant. He was poured out a good drink of Irish whisky. From the force of a recently acquired habit in the U. S. A., as soon as the glass was placed before him he hastily grabbed it and, completely enveloping it. with his hand, quickly drank the contents. He then furtively looked round and was about to walk out. The bartender, who watched him, smiled, remarking, "I see you are from the States. Well, you have nothing to be afraid of over here. This is a free country." Probably the barkeep is right No matter how distressful it may otherwise be, something must be said for a land where the spotters cease from spotting and the needy find their hooch. BALLYBUNION.

The 15th annual Scottish Esperanto congress will be held at the University of Edinburgh on June 19. It is suggested by Jules, subject to the ap proval of Mr. Hoover's campaign manager, if or when he has one, that a god slogan would be, "Thank God for Hoover!" He has kept us out of sugar." You Can't Keep 'Em Down. Sir: One of my army pals, walking down Pennsylvania avenue, Washington, spotted one of the government buildings with the date in Roman characters MCM1V. "See that." said Hank; "the Irish are gettin' all kinds of public ity. Look where McMiv have carved his name." Sig. Apropos of jazz records for typewritists (which is carrying water to the sea), Old Drury Underwood writes us from Columbus, O., the home of the two-piece haircut, that he found there a shoe-shining parlor with victrola attachment.

Frex ample, the members of the Acholi tribe believe that the spirits of their parents migrate to the tortoise; and a neighboring tribe, the Latuka, are extremely fond of tortoise.

Sir: Lamping the news item that Ira R. Pontius has been selected to become superin tendent of banks for the state of Ohio, I rise to ask whether Pontius could not be termed the bankers' Pilot. W. R.

Gene Fuelling of the New Hampton Tribune recently suggested that Fred Biermann of the Decorah Journal was capable of conducting the editorial page of any paper in the world. For heaven's sake, Biermann, go to Chicago. Why Trifle with Your Luck? I know where rolls the Danube blue," Where grows the shamrock green; But what I'd like to know is where Is Atlee Pomerene? J. B.

A few weeks ago wo published some opinions on foods written by Professor. Hawk of Philadelphia and appearing in "What to Eat and What Becomes of It." Here is an other batch taken from the same source. Professor Hawk's opinions are at variance with many popular ideas, but he is a careful experi menter working in a well equipped laboratory. Here are his questions and answers: Do raw vegetables give the stom ach more work than cooked ones? Yes. What are the advantages and dis advantages of raw vegetables? They contain more salts, more vitamines and more food units, but on the oth er hand they are slower to digest and more apt to cause typhoid fever and. diarrhoeas. is it true that spinach is a good food for the blood? Yes. It is a good source of iron; so are the other green foods, but spinach leads. Is the potato entitled to first place among vegetables? It gets the blue ribbon. Are sweet potatoes better? Sweet potato contains more nourishment. Irish potato contains more iron and is more quickly digested. Are steamed vegetables more di gestible than boiled ones? There Is no marked difference In digestibili ty, but steamed vegetables contain more salts, more vitamines and more nourishment. Are beans as easy o digest as meat? Perhaps not for some peo ple. Beans should be cooked with fat Beans cooked with fat are wholesome, easily digested and nu tritious. ,Is rice a satisfactory substitute for potatoes? Rice is a, good food, but not a substitute for potatoes. How about mushrooms? Mush rooms have very little food value and are not easily digested. Do green vegetables act as spring tonics? Green vegetables are ex cellent foods, but none of them is a cure for any of the diseases for cur ing which they have a reputation. The following claims are not war ranted: "Watercress will cure neur algia, nervous exhaustion and scrof ula." "Lettuce and celery rest the nerves." "Carrots prevent dyspep sia." "Cucumbers cool the heated frame." and "Dandelion helps the liver to do its work." From Here and There How do beets and radishes act in the stomach? They are quickly di gested. .Why Is baked potato one of the flr-ot foods e-iven to invalids and babies? Because the starch is easily digested, according to popular opinion. (Hawk has not been able ta verify this.) Is barley a good food? Excellent. Are cucumbers more digestible when soaked in salt? No. Do onions improve the digestibili ty of steak? No. ' How should lettuce be eaten, tv-ith tnran nnd vinAear or oil and vinegar? They are about equally digestible, but lettuce wnn on nas more food balance. Is cauliflower the most digestible of all vegetables? No. How about tomatoes? They are quickly digested, wholesome, but low in food values. How about sauerkraut? It is about on a par with cabbage. Are potatoes readily digested, re gardless of the way they are cooked? Yes. French fried, German fried, plain fried, chips, baked, mashed and boiled were all readily digested. Are vegetables principally water? Yes, about 87 per cent about the same as milk. Cucumbers, 98 per cent, lettuce and endives, 94 per cent; celery, 93 per cent; tomatoes and asparagus, 92 per cent; cab bage, cauliflower and spinach, 90 per cent. All contain more water than does milk. Wrong Figures Given. W. B. K. writes: i:For many years it has been the habit of New Eng land towns to contribute money, especially through church circles, to help out slum life in the cities, and now comes up the authorized state ment that, on account of ignorance, insanitary laws, and lack of proper system, etc., fully 100 per cent more babies die in the country than do in the cities. In other words, a child born in the city has twice as much good chance to live as if it were born in the country. Many of our country people don't believe this. Will you please give us statistics on it?" REPLY. The latest figures available are found in the third annual report on birth statistics. United States bureau of the census. These show that the death rate for babies under 1 year of age in Maine fyour state) was 93. For the cities of Maine it was 107. Therefore, the baby death rate is lower in rural districts than it is in the cities. This is true for the coun try at large as well. Feeding of Baby Girl. Mrs. L. B. L. writes: "1. Will you kindly tell me if 18 ounces of .milk is enough dally for an ll-nionts-old baby weighing 22 pounds? "2. She has her morning meal about 8:30. Should she have her milk then, or cereal? "3. Just what hours should I feed her? Have been feeding her from the table for some time. "4. She Is inclined to use her left hand. Do you thing putting a mit ten on it will break her of this habit?" REPLY. 1. It is. 2. Give both. 3. Feed her four times a day regular meal times and one extra in the afternoon. Give her hard toast, fruit Juice, meat bones, vegetable, soup, and some vegetables. 4. Do not try to break the habit. MUCH IN LITTLE. Fifteen cents a day keeps a Chi nese laborer in comfort. The United States owns fully one half of the world's stock of dia monds.

The first church organ in Boston wau put into King's Chapel in 1713, out so great was the prejudice against it that for seven months it Btood unpacked in the vestibule of the church. "HE IS RISEN." Mb la Ririen! In th dawn of Kaster morning, Angels watched the vacant irrave; And proclaimed in saintly triumph. Christ can never be Deatha alave. Ha la Risen! Sinners, shout the orv of triumph, Christ Is Risen' Christ la King! He haa conquered Death and Satan. Hall! Triumphant we can sing. Ha in Risen!
