LONG AND WIDER I Is the Way Women Will Wear Their Skirts and 6 to 8 in. Above Ground • | MORE CONSERVATIVE (United Press Service) Chicago, Sep. 16—(Special to Daily ( Democrat) — Feminine styles this. coming winter are to be much differ-' ent —much different. Skirts will be longer, much wider — more conservative. And in this connection there is a war just starting—a war by the American women to make the styles more conservative. This was the news coming from within the Fashion Art League in. convention here today. The doughboy is at the bottom of the whole thing. In France the parisienne beauties wore extreme styles. When the doughboy struck that country he was dazzled. Styles became more and more extreme and when he started home he was full of new ideas of styles—but—the American girls rebelled —they went on a fashion strike, demanding new styles. The correct skirt length, accord-1 ing to Madame Alla Ripley, president | of the league, should be six to eight inches above the ground. Os course the width would be built around the person, but generosity will be plentiful among the designers, it was pointed out. Forty-seven inches was agreed on as the average width for the slender person. Crowds Gather at the Stations.

His. voice seemed to show some evi-l deuces of a slight strain at the beginning of his Portland speech last night but as he talked it improved and grew stronger. The presidential train had no stops I scheduled for today. It will reach San Francisco tomorrow, the president remaining two days in San Francisco I I and Oakland, speaking in both cities, i Wilson took a stroll all the way around his train shortly before it left Portland last night. He paced slowly I down the platform in view of several hundred who had congregated to see i him off. then crossed the tracks to the dark side of the train away from the station lights and rambled back to his private car. This was only the second walk of more than one hundred yars tht he had taken since he left Washington. The body of Ben Fallen, of Cleveland, one of the newspaper correspondent, who was killed in an automobile accident at Portland yesterday, is being sent home in charge of a secret service man.
