'SNAPPY STYLES'OF 1634 GAVE TROUBLE TO PURITAN FATHERS

CKt Associated Press) BOSTON, April 29. Dress reformers or the present day, who deplore the abbreviated skirt and the peek-a-boo waist, mar be astounded to learn that even in the good old Puritan times the lure of Dame Fashion bad a bewitching effect on the young men and maidens. Researches into the ancient laws of the Massachusetts Bay colony have revealed that the fathers " had their own trouble with their offspring who recognized a snappy style when they saw it. In 1634, just four years after the arrival of Governor Winthrop's ships, the apparel question had become so pressing that the law makers tried their hands as fashion moulders. Here is the statute placed on the books in its original wording: Restricts Ornaments. "The Court, takeing into consideration . the great, superflous and unnecesary expences . occasioned by reason of some nevre and immodest fash, ions, as also the ordinary weareing of silver, gold, and silk laces, girdles, hat bands, etc., hath therefore ordered that no person, either man or woman shall hereafter make or buy apparell, either woolen, silke or lynnen, with any lace on it, silver, golde, tilks or threed, under the penalty of the fofeeture of such cloathes. "Provided, and it is the meanelng of this court that men and women shall have liberty to weare out such apparell as they are nowe provided of, except the Immoderate greate sleaves, slashed apparell, immoderate greate raylea, long wings, etc. "This order to take place a fortnight after the publishing there of."

EATON, O., April 29. A crowd that packed the opera house last night listened to the representatives of the protesting telephone subscribers explain their position to some of the business men of the town who were invited to hear the same. Mr. Sherer, chairman of the meeting, stated that the subscribers did not believe the increased rates were justified for several reasons. He argued that the depreciation as figured by the company was erroneous, in that replacements and repairs were kept at such a place that the depreciation was out of proportion. He also stated that since the farmer, laborer, merchant, and all other classes of business men had suffered a loss in income of from a little to as much as a half, in the case of farmers, the telephone company had no right at this time to ask an increase. The price of labor and materials being on the decrease, efficient management would enable the company to maintain an efficient service on the present schedule of rates. PONS-WEN NECKE BODY IS VISIBLE JUNE 27 A brand new comet is headed this way, according to an announcement recently appearing in an astronomical magazine. It will be visible on or about June 27, according to Prof. E. D Grant of Eariham college. The comet will approach within 2,000,000 miles of the earth and in passing its tail is expected to sweep this planet. According to Prof. Grant, a shower of meteors is the only manifestation of the comet's presence which is likely to be noticed here. Because the exact influence of some of the planets on the path of the comet has not been calculated as yet, the exact date it will be closest to earth has not been calculated. The body is known as the Pons-Wennecke comet.

Germany's reparations proposals will not be formally discussed at Saturday's meeting of the supreme council, it was indicated here today. Premier Briand, re-inforced in hi3 opposition to the acceptability of the German terms by a vote of confidence in the chamber of deputies, and the sentiment of France, had an engagement to confer with Prime Minister Lloyd George immediately after his arrival here from Paris.

LARGER ARMY NEEDED KAHN TELLS HOUSE; WOULD AMEND BILL

By Associated Presa) WASHINGTON, April 29. Chairman Kahn of the military affairs committee, told the house today that an enlisted force of 168,000 men as fixed by the army appropriation bill was too small And that at the proper time he would offer an amendment increasing the number to 175,000. "I am not an alarmist; I am not afraid of war, but we all know that world conditions are unsettled," he declared. "And in the interest of true economy, in the interest of the welfare of the country, I shall appeal to the membership-of this house to support such an amendment" Citing the fact that Japan and China both had much larger armies than this country, the California representative said that in proportion to population only Colombia and Urguay had smaller armies than the United State. No Disarmament Seen. "Thousands of our fellow citizens believe." said Mr. Kahn. "that this country by its action in the way or reducing its army can bring about international disarmament without any difficulty. Some months have elapsed since we reduced our forces. I have seen, no indication anywhere that any other nation in the world is making efforts to follow our footsteps. Therefore, I consider it the part of wisdom at least for the present, to maintain a force the minimum of which will be 175.000 enlisted men." Trusts Secretary of War Answering the demand for reduction of government expenses. Mr. Kahn declared the secretary of war could be trusted absolutely to cut expenses wherever possible without injury to the military establishment. "It seems to me the facts are so palpable that no one at this time ought to want to cripple our military establishment," Mr. Kahn declared. "We have grave international questions which our state department is trying to solve. We hope they will be solved with honor and credit to our government. During the pendency of these matters and in their solution, no individual can foretell what is going to happen. I for one believe we can afford to be prepared for any possible emergency, and I think the American people will approve the increase in our enlisted force."
