Her malin plan involves the re- form of "women's clothes, Modern woman's clothing, whether for for- mal wear, sports or night wear, is about the ugliest, least decorous and most horrible thing she can imagine, Writing in T. P.'s Week- ly she advocates 'shorts' or breaches, for women for all ac- tive pursuits. If woman cannot part company with their skirts they should be the merest brief tunics at any rate, she says. From every point of view, that of "aesthetics, ecomomy and com- fort everything is wrong with pre- sent-day feminine e, she be- lieyes. Men are far better off. She urges dress reform fof the good of the community, and advises women to forget about What suits their complexions most and to go in for bright colors. Every hat at present in existence should be discarded. Something - new -should Z1be invented to take the place of evening gowns, walking suits, bathing costumes and night dress- 2 es, "Women are sometimes inclin- 2led to plume themselves on'. the present comfort of their attire be- cause it is more comfortable at the moment than it has been for quite a time--perhaps since the days when we draped a few skins about our persons in the winters and a few leaves in summer--and I dare say really even these costumes were less commodious than ours." she writes. Still our satisfaction is misplaced. . "We have indeed kilted our skirts to the knee, except for in- door and ceremonial wear, for which they have recently and un- fortunately descended, but why wear skirts at all for getting about in? All those who walk in tHe coun- try know how hindering the or- dinary knee-length skirt is in get- ting over stiles, jumping over streams and other ordinary pedes- trian activitiy, Shorts or breeches should be worn for such pursuits. "I raise no protest against coun- try shoes and stockings these seem fairly convenient for the moment. But why are we condemned by fashion to wear silk stockings in town in all weathers? Nothing can be uglier than light silk stockings mud-splashed to the knee; nothing more uncomfortable and unhygenic than the cold and wet legs inside of them. Gaiters are occasionally worn, but these are inconvenient and troublesome. Dislikes High Heels "As to shoes the fashion of high heels for walking the streets is an unsightly and perilous monstrosity, and is, we are told, rapidly deforni- ing even further the feet of the women of Europe and America, as well as throwing their spines out ot gear, thickening their ankles and leading to even more street accidents than would otherwise oe- cur, Low-heeled shoes are immense- ly more graceful as well as more fitted to actize movement, "Another awkward and clumsy garment is the full-length coat hanging from the shoulders. This certainly impedes motion and is al- 80, very often ugly, buttoned down in front as it 1s, open at the top, and trimmed at the collar with the fur of some animal or some strange partnership of animals such as the coney seal or the pussy fox, To my mind all fur is ugly when worn on the human creature. "A word as to evening wear. though it is very pleasant to wear no coverings for the arms, chest or back in warm weather, this con- vention should not be enforced on women in winter. The human lungs are not fitted for it. "Finally, I plead in the name of common sense for better poc- kets in female clothes. Why should we have to carry our belongings in those horrid little bags? Here again men score," Even Hats Arve Ugly "We should think of ourselves and our clothes less as individuals than as a part of a pattern or color scheme and endeavor to make the streets of cities as gay as flower beds. We should paint the outside of our houses in bright colors, all our motor vehicles and our clothes also. Let us do away with all black. Here the Latin countries make a mistake. On the other hand they are less addicted to hats and it is certain that female hats add further ugliness to a crowd al- réady hideous with male headwear. "How much better should we feel if, on sallying forth into the streets, we beheld them gay with crimson and gold, blue, silver and green and scarlet buses bearige a freight of gorgeous creature like birds of paradise cr hurdy-gurdy monkeys; the policemen dressed as merrily as 'circus clowns, con- trolling a crowd of medieval pages, of both sexes, and Trafalgar Square as brightly peopled as the Piazza San Marco in Venice in a Carpaccio painting." NOTED DETECTIVE TACKLES MYSTERY Scotland Yard Assigns Su- perintendent Brown to Croydon Murder London, Aug. 12--Scotland Yard today assigned Superintendent Brown one of the Yard's "Big Five" to fer- ret out the originator of London's most absorbing and intriguing poi- son-case in many years, Piqued by the inability of ordinary detectives to determine who admin- istered arsenic to the drinks of beer which are supposed to' have killed Edmunde Duff, Mrs." Vera Sydney Duff, his sister-inlaw, despite the in- quests which have extended over five months, London's most famous crim- inal catchers have turned in deadly earnest to the case. Police authorities here held confer- ence after conference in the last three days since the verdict was ren- dered Tuesday that the deaths were from arsenic adminstered by "un- known persons." Duff died in April, 1928, Miss Syd- ney died a month later, and Mrs. Sydney almost a year afterward. In April of the present year it was the Mrs. Sydney's death that caused the inquiry to attract attention. Only in Mrs. Sydney's death could the cor- oner's jury find a suggestion of sui- cide. ' Mrs. Grace Duff, widow of Ed- munde, and their three children, and Thomas Sydney, son of the last of the trio to die, who have been con- THE PAIN OF RHEUMATISM!

The Crops in Leeds Brockville--The following report concerning the condition of the crops in Leeds county is contained in the weekly review of the Ontario. De- partment of Agriculture. "Haying operations about conciluded. Many farmers will have a big surplus of hay this year. Although little spring or fall wheat, the fall wheat is har- vested and spring wheat just turn- ing. Both crops have been good. Oats nor barley not turning yet, ex- cept on early sowing. Wit the ex- ception of the north part of the county, the recent drought so gen- erally felt in aCnada has not effected Leeds to any extent, Scarcely a week has passed all summer without at least one good rain. Generally speaking, crops are in fine condition. Oct. 3. Cooksville Cornwall . Courtland . t. 2 . Sept. 24 and 25 THE DRUGGIST FOR SERVICE PHONE 378.
