LETTER STATES CONDITIONS OF 4 PEACE PARLEY Unionists Said to Have Agreed to Main Points of De Valera Missive. HARMONY AT DUBLIN DUBLIN. July 9—The draft of a letter from Eamonn De v alera to Premier Lloyd George citing the conditions upon which the "president of the Irish republic” would go to London to attend <t peace parley, was submitted to the Sinn Fein-Unionist conference here Friday. It was understood that the t'nionists agreed to the main points of the letter during the morning session. The meeting was said to be harmonious and the opinion was expressed by those c’ose to the conferees this afternoon that "all goes well with the peace movement.” The Unionist delegates left the conference in a body at 1 o'clock. Their departure caused the waiting crowds to believe that a split bad taken place and the negotiations had been broken off. but It was announced that a second session would be held, beginning at * o'clock. Eamonn De Valera and Arthur Griffith remained behind while the Unlonls's went into conference among themselves on the outside. Eamonn de Valera entered the conference Insisting upon certain specific guarJptees which, it is understood, the Tiodthern Unionists knew all about in advance. The fact that the Unionists had foreknowledge of the Sinn Fein demands simplified discussions. Belief was expressed in responsible circles that the conference would create another milestone in the “march to pesce," and that the meeting would weld closer the relations of the Republican and Unionist factions in the south at least. Before the meeting was convened De Valera and Arthur Griffith conferred. Sinn Feiners and Unioniats alike were cheered by thousands as they arrived at the City Hall where the meeting was held. There was much noise and flag waving in the streets. “I am hopeful of the outcome.” said Sir Maurice Dockreil before entering the conference. It was said an official statement would be issued at the conclusion of the conference. A warning was issued by Dail Eireann (Sinn Fein parliament) against “unauthorized and speculative press reports dealing with the present peace situation. The personnel of the political conference was the same as on Monday, with Eamonu de Valera and Arthur Griffith representing the Sinn Fein, and Lord Midleton. Sir .Maurice Dockreil, Sir Robert Henry Woods and Andrew Jameson representing the Unionists. Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster, resisted all pressure to indues him to attend.

TOMB MYSTERY" IS NOW SOLVED SAVANNAH, Ga., July 9.—The mystery ft “The Serpent Tomb” in Colonial Cemetery has been solved. In this old burying ground, in the center of the downtown district of Savannah, for many years visitors have viewed with interest in unmarked obelisk, on each side of which a serpent twined to form a circle was the only inscription. Visitors have been entertained by strange stories of Its history.; One of the favorite tales was tbat Is was erected to the memory of a young man who lost his life In a duel and whose last request was that his name should not be inscribed upon bis tomb. OtbeT stories had it that the stone marked the grave of Burton Gwinnett, one of the signers from Georgia, of the Declaration of Independence. Now the tomb bears the inscription. "Archibald Bulloch, First President of Georgia. 1776-1777. “Born in South Carolina, 1730. Died In Savannah, 1777. “Patriot Soldier. Statesmen.” And beneath are these words, from White’s Statistics: “Georgians, let the memory of Archlbsld Bulloch live In yonr breasts.

Minister Resorts to Use of Limericks NEW YORK. July 9.—The laws of sanitation and the principles of modesty bare been thrown to the proverbial four winds by modern woman In her pursuit of Lucifer. known to the Rev. John Roach Straton. of the Calvary Baptist Church of this elty. as the demon, Style. In an excoriating sermon the Rev. Straton rronounced the knee length skirt out of harmony with God and detrimental to health. He called It everything bnt an eyesore. The present style of women's dress Is “In crashing discord" with the “higher thing? of life,” said the minister, waxing forenadding that: “The only thing that saves us from the full effect of the dangers of present styles is the humor of the situation.” As an example of which he quoted. “Mary had a little skirt. The latest style, no douht. But every time she got inside She was more'n half way out!”

BLONDE AND 808 HAIRED GIRLS USELESS. -|. ,|. • -I* -I- -I- -I- -!- *l* H* -I- -I- -I- IInsurartce Cos. Employment Agent Says Yellow Tops Lack Brains

IDEAL WOMAN FOR BUSINESS BANS POWDER HARTFORD, Conn., July 9.—“ Extemporaneous blondes" and girls with bobbed hair have no pht-c i a American business life. F. K. Daniels, employment agent of the Aetna Life insurance < ompany, employing 3,000 women throughout the country, told the United Press Iri t day. The company recently issued a mandate that no more artificial blondes or bobbed heads would be employed and that employe* already in either category would have to get back to normalcy as rapidly as possible. ••Artificially blonde hair is a sign of light beadedness,“ Daniels declared. “Blondlte is a mark of a lark of intelligenee. If any more bobbed-haired girl--or blondes get into our offices they will have to crawl through the keyhole. “There are some in this office now but we are going to get rid of all of them as soon as possible. Os course, we can't make any set rule, but we have ad vised these girls to drop all artificiality at once. “The Swedish blonde Is very pretty, even if she bobs her tresses. She is , diligent, faithful and studious. It is the brunettes who use peroxide who get me. “Business researches have proved that 90 per cent of blondes are useless. All women who bob their hair are useless. Some say they have cut their hair to avoid the heat, but I can tell you there is a hotter place waiting for them. | “My ideal of a business woman 1* one j who has had two or three years' college : work, does not powder her nose, does not watch the clock, does not rouge her : cheeks and does not smoke cigarettes. I “I cant tolerate the woman who lays aside her corset. That Is comfort. But ; it is carrying comfort too far to bare [ oneself In bobbed hair. I think the movies are responsible for girls doing I this. “I don’t wish to give the Impression that women should neglect their dress. I believe nuslness girls should be attractively garbed in pure business style the same a* business men. i “When you’re dishing out my employes, for God's sake give me long-haired brunettes.” BLONDES NOT MENTIONED HERE 1 CHICAGO, July 9.—Men haven’t a monopoly on brAins after all. Those who said the only mark the socalled frivolous girls of today would leave upon the generation would b distorted necks among the men, are all wrong. A survey of colleges in the Middle West shows that the co-eds have stepped right up to the head of the class and received higher grades than the men during the school year Just closed. The survey was made by Mary Ross Potter, dean of women of Northwestern University, among colleges in Illinois, Missouri, Indiana. Ohio and lowa. Educators In ail these States agreed that women were better students and received higher marks than men. i Girls greatly excel men in mathematics or any other subject requiring ati tention to detail, it was shown.

TEACHERS SHOW INDIGNATION DES MOINES, lowa, July 9.-Indignant teachers of physical culture md recreational supervisors attending t ie N. E. A. convention here rallied to the defense bf bobbed hair and short skirts. Replying to the assertion of F. K. Daniels. president Aetna Insurance Company, that "all women who bob their hair are useless and have no place In American business life,'' Miss Sarah Given, director of physical education at Drake University. said: “Bobbed hair Is sensible and sanitary. Think how easy it is to wash it! It is infinitely better for the scalp, too, than to wear a huge wad of hair piled in one place. And think of the time saved. Think of the hours and hours that some business women waste in doing up their hair.” The college girl of today, with her devotion to Jazz music, short skirts and near-to-nature waists, will be a shocked matron of tomorrow, when her collega

c- ■ ' Shorter the Hair , Shorter the Skirt , the Nearer to Hell HARTFORD. Conn., July 9.— The shorter the hair and the shorter the skirt, the nearer to hell, according to the Rev. D. J. Jaxhelnier of Hartford. ' The levity of American women regarding* dress and appearance astonishes me,” he said. “It is evidence of the moral laxity of the present age. Bare legs and blondes should be eliminated.” v, educated daughter dons masculine attire and does a foursome on the links before going to her business offli-e, according to 15 C Gruenberg. director of physical education of the public schools of Washington, D. C. “A few years ago a woman would no\ have had a healthy leg to show beneath a short skirt,” Gruenberg declared “Women today are walkers and are not ashamed of their legs If the limbs are crooked they even have them straightened. So much the better Their daughters probably will be wearing tight fitting trousers.” IT’S OUT, GIRLS—DANIELS IS BALD HARTFORD, Conn., July 9—A baldheaded man looks less business- l*ke than a bobbed haired girl—and most times he has less sense. This was the answer yesterday of Miss Mabel Johnson, IS, bobbed and blonde, to ,T. K. Daniels, slightly bald brunette head of the employment division of the Aetna Life Insurance Company. Miss Johnson was refused a position with the company chiefly because she had bobbed blonde hair—that straight flaxen kind which Daniels said was a sign of “light beadedness.'’ He has put tnto force a policy of not hiring peroxidized blondes and bobbedhaired girls. “Bald-headed men ought to be waiters in a restaurant.” Miss Johnson told the United Pres 6. “Every time I see one of those shiny domes with a mock dignified little fellow underneath it, I want to tip him a dime. “I don't think I have any less sense now than I did before my hair was cut. "There’s always a big rumpus like this when women try to get away from uncomfortable conventional styles for healthful informantv- and ease."

BLONDES JUST AS EFFICIENT , MANAGER SAYS By MABEL WHEELER. Cheer up. blonde business girls and you with the bobbed hair, ail is nut lost yet, even though F. K Daniels of the Aetna Life Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn, does declare that he will employ no bobbed heads or yellow tops in his office, f or business men do not feci that way. And if you have a leaning toward insurance work don't hesitate to apply at the local Aetna Life Insurance Company for H. N. Tbrockmor- ! ton states emphatically that they do not care w hether girls are blonde or brunette red beaded or henna locked, thin haired, 1 thick haired, bobbed haired or shorn heads, ns long us they look intelligent and can talk sensibly. “In fact,” he says, “we do not even notice their complexion or hatr, when employing our office for-e. However. I can say that our office v hich comprises thirty five girls, has accumulated a splendid, practical, efficient flock of girls and there are quite a number of blonde heads shining among them. In fact, one of our girls who has a perfect shock of yellow hair, is a splendid example of office efficiency. As to the bobbed hair, I see no objections to that. Personally, If I were a woman I am sure I would bob mine or even go farther and clip It close to my head this hot. weather. “We have no cropped hair among the office hands at present, but we formerly had two young women who were as sensible, intelligent girls as one might find. One of them left to continue her work in an Eastern music school and the other is working for a degree in college, which doesn't seem to tit In very well with the brainless bobbed hair theory. It Is ridiculous to make such a statement concerning the appearance of a person. We find our blondes fully as dependable as our brunettes and if our fc -me office would attempt to control the complexion and manner of hair dressing of i ur employes. it would only be laughed at. “Probably we would get more work done If all our girls had their hair babied. They spend a few moments, you ;now, pushing it back, adjusting hair nets and arranging their hairpins a bit more comfortably. Why, we are Just planning better facilities for the girls to do their dolling up in. All we ask is'that they dress sensibly and do their work. And they till do, w hether light or dark. ' Miss Ada Royal, who has charge of the employing of girls in the accident and liability department of the Aetna Life Insurance Company, who, by the way, la a maiden of the nut-brown type, with discerning dark eyes, laughed at the iden of choosing her girls by the color of their hair. “I only look to see whether their face •hows Intelligence and interest when I interview applicants." she said. "I don't suppose I could tell you whether they even have hair after they are gone. Blondes, perhaps, are not as numerous as brunettes, but they are quite as efficient." I*. W. Simpson of the local office of the life department states decidedly tbat he doesn’t care whether they have any hair as long as they cnti do tho work. "If after a week or so we find they ore inefficient we let them go, whether they are brunette* or blondes,” he declared "A black-haired girl can l>e quite as ‘light-headed’ as the flaxen-huirod lass. In our department I have a decided blonde who Is leaving after several years' faithful service, and I can frnnkly say ! that there isn't a man in the office whose I loss would he more vital. Site is absolutely efficient in every detail, as near perfection as you find any oue iu business. 1 “She is leaving ns to take a position |of decided responsibility. She will travel from one end of the United States to the other in organization work on a mansize Job, which is pretty good proof that blondeß can succeed in the business world. "We have but one decided brunette in our office by the way. As for powder. I would a whole lot prefer powdered faces to shiny sticky ones and I know the girls feel a whole lot cooler and more comfortable with powdered sklu this warm weather. My opinion is that Mr. Daniels was temporarily deranged when he made those rash statements, if he made them seriously, as I am Inclined to doubt.”

"The schedule for vacations was only posted this morning in the office,” answered Henry, “and they have given me the last two weeks in August. I suppose we are about to begin our yearly argument as to whether I am to go away anywhere for my vacation or whether you ought to go.” Mrs. Hooper laughed. “Well, we always compromise about that since we can’t both afford to go.

Won't you come in, Hooper?” called out Mr. Briggs hospitably. "Do come in and sit a few minutes,” urged Mrs. Briggs, “Us nice and cool here.” “We've Just been deciding about our vacation,” said Mr. Briggs when they were ail comfortably seated on the porch. “They are giving me the two first weeks in August and we want to go away some where.” "I Just got the rate from a place that suits me exactly,” said Mrs. Briggs. “For $35 a week for the two of us we can go to this cottage and have a nice room and three meals a day.” “But what are you going to do about the children?” asked Mrs. Hooper. “Oh, I'U take the baby and leave the other two home with my sister,” answered Mrs. Briggs. “She says she’ll come down and take care of them.” “Do you plan to stay the two weeks?” asked Mrs. Hooper. “Oh. yes,” answered Mrs. Briggs. “You see with the SSO a week salary, we can

Just manage it for the railroad fares and a few things I need.” “But I don't see how you can use your whole two weeks' income for your vacation." said Mrs. Hooper, "unless of course, you have that extra hundred dollars saved specially for a vacation.” “Paved nothing," laughed Mrs. Briggs. “I don't save a cent from one week's end to another on Mr. Brigg's measly salary. Os course if we owned our house the way you do it would be different. 1 don’t see how any one saves these days.” "It Is difficult," said Mrs. Hooper, trying to change the subject because she didn't want to get into an argument.

FAT WOMEN TOLD TO SELECT COLOR LIKE ELEPHANT Neutral Tints Adapted to Large Body; Bright Shades to Butterfly. SIOUX FALLS, S. D., July 9.—South Dakota farm women, attending the first Sonth Dakota Farm Wotwn'J Congress, digressed from their routine proceedings long enough to discuss modern styles for fat ladies and bony ones. They were given style warnings by several women speakers. Piano-legged and spindley girls were told to wear long skirts. II was stated by one of the speakers that “double-measure” women should weal dark clothes Loud colors for stout women, severe black hats for plain-faced matrons, and short skirts for girls with too large of too thin limbs were a few of the presentday clothing styles which came in for a share of condemnation at the “sans style show” at the congress. Miss Selma Rongstad, of the home demonstration department of the South Dakota State College, conducted the show. “When nature created the elephant, she dressed him in neutral colors,” Miss Rongstad said in telling of the need for close attention to color in selecting correct dresses, “but when nature created the butterfly, she used all the bright colors of the rainbow. “The large woman must remember this lesson in selecting the colors she is to wear,” Miss Ronstad continued. “The large woman must wear neutral colors. It takes a small, slender woman to wear bright colors. “The large woman may wear a dark dress and get the necessary touch of color in her hat. Older women should not believe that they must wear only plain black hats. It takes a very youthful face to look well in a severe back hat, so the older women should avoid them.” Illustrating her statements with the use of models dressed in the different styles. Miss Rongstad told the women to develop their good points in dressing. “If you have any defect," the speaker said, “don’t draw attention to it by having bright colors near it. For instance, don’t call attention to a bony neck by wearing a bright-colored string of beads. “Length of skirts must be determined largely by the individual requirements,” Miss Rongstad added. "A girl whose limbs are too large should avoid too short skirts. The girl whose limbs are too small to look right should also wear skirts to cover them up. “The bow-legged girls ought to remember to wear longer skirts, too,” one woman in the audience volunteered. “We used to think that men were the only ones who were bow-legged, but we know now that the girls aren't all free from that defect.” Take Crayons From Artist in Death Cell OSSINING, X. V.. July 9—Herbert W. Smith, artist of Sing Sing's deathhouse, learned that Greenwich Village is not the only place that art is investigated. Somo time ago Smith, who is engaged in drawing a series of sketches of other condemned men in the prison while awaiting his own execution for killing Postmaster Lewis Johnson at Nlnevah Junction, X. V., ran out of soft lead for drawing and sketching. An outside friend, hearing of his plight, sent him a ! package of colored crayons. They were given to Smith, but deathhouse guards : were ordered to confiscate the crayons. Smith was told they would have to be , examined to ascertain whether they contained any poisonous substance with : which he might commit suicide. “JOHN DOE’ KNOWS RIGHTS.
