MISS ABBY SHAW MAYHEW OF

WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY CREATES A SENSATION IN LECTURE TO EDUCATORS. Publishers' ressj Madison, Wis., July 2S. To the res cue of the peek a boo waist comes Miss Abby Shaw Mayhew, dean of women at the Wisconsin State University. Nor is that all she advocates. Half sleeves, low necks, spats, round garters, and knees as bare as those of a "hoot mon" from the Scotch high lands she declared just the thing in a lecture at the summer school of the university today. Of course, the corset came in for its usual share of blame for ill women are heir to. Staid schoolma'ams and fair gradu ates grasped when Miss Mayhew bold ly announced her stand. Fad Rules Women's Dress. "Dress all goes by fads," said Miss Mayhew. "Some of the fads are cor rect hygienically, others are positive ly suicidal. i "The all inclusive principle of prop er dress is that of freedom. We are never going to be free so long as we wear petticoats. Woman will never have perfect freedom in dress until she wears somethi. like the gymna sium costume. "There are four places where we are apt to bind ourselves at the neck, the waist, the knee and the foot. The fad for wearing open necks in our dresses is an exceedingly sensible one. We never can be well or normal or have a clear brain if we Impede the circulation and impair the nervous system by pressure on the neck from tight collars. A great deal of the head, throat and eye trouble now pre valent can now be traced directly to bad dress of the neck. "There is much goiter development in consequence. Three-fourths of the girls in the gymnasium classes at the Wisconsin state university last year had such development to some de gree. A TROLLEY WIRE BROKE PASSENGERS IN A FRIGHT Fairview Car Runs up Against a Snag on North D Street and There Was Vivid Display of Electricity in the Vicinity. Passengers aboard a west bound Farview car were given a scare last night on North D street near the C C. & L. crossing as a result of the dis play of electricity that resulted from a dangling trolley wire. The car was proceeding at usual speed when the trolley wire broke. one end falling directly in front of the- car and striking the fender. As the wire swung back and forth against the car. each rebound brought a cracking that sounded like a pistol shot and the air was fairly blue. The electric fluid was doing too manystunts for the pleasure of the passen gers and they made a hurried exit The display of "fire works" was so vivid that many persons were attract ed to the spot, but everybody gave the business end of the live wire a wide berth. Traffic on the Fairview line was out of the question the remainder of the night and cars were "dead." Fair view citizens were compelled to walk home. Had Narrow Escape. Ernest Davenport, residing south of the city, who chanced to be driving along North D street at the time of the breaking of the trolley wire, had a narrow escape. The wire struck the shaft of the buggy and the horse be came wild with fright. It w-as believed likely that the animal came in con tact with the wire, receiving a hard shock. The harness was completely torn off. but both Davenport and the horse escaped without serious in jury. RAILROADER IN TROUBLE Charged With Criminal Assault and is Being Held by the Baltimore Police.

T I THE CARNIVAL IS OVER RAIN SPOILS LAST NIGHT Eagles Probably Netted Neat Sum from the Project Horse and Buggy Not Yet Awarded Coupons Not All Turned In. The Eagles carnival closed last night, though the final scenes were not such to justify the statement that the "finish was a blaze of glory." The heavy rain storm last evening put a crimp in the carnival project, serious ly interfering with the enterprise, for there were scarcely a handful of people who ventured forth after the storm was over. Had the night been fair the attendance probably would have been the heaviest of the week. How ever, the Eagles probably have netted a neat sum from the carnival. The horse and buggy has not yet been awarded. All coupons have not yet been turned in. THE CHAMNESS FAMILY Reunion is Scheduled to Take Place in Beeson's Grove Near Mooreland on August 11 and 12.
