THE SKIRT "PROBLEM." r'riti.-al lf not rynir;ii Htuiient of Hf ha.v x-pr:--srl th iilruun tu it whti human idrals, piincip! fr even niora:;i conio ir.tf) conflict with our flflsh inTrHtH. it i. always to determine which will fix r way which must kIvp way. Th 'jur-rtion of hrw f;ir ffrnlnine modsty may forcf-l to a MratrRic retrpat bforo the forces rf conomir comptilsion is undr discotsion by Ilowanl Fizz, spoci.nl assistant to Atty. (Un. r.ilmrr, from fine .inlft, and the National (iarment Retailors' association from another. Neithor stand out as an advocate of lmmoieft costuming for American women. The difficult quostion i, what Is an immodest goon? Mr. Fiffg pl.ic himself unequivocably on record that a woman k Irt should come hrlow the waist. The- garment retailors acrof with the attorney Keneral's special MFsi.stant, but how far below tho waist mupt a skirt come to touch the boundary of immodesty? Or, in other words, how little may a kirt drap below the waist to abandon contact with the farthest lyinp: outposts of modesty? Tho garment makers have produced skirts for autumn wear which stop at the knee. Is that far enough below the waist to satlf-fy Mr. Special Asst. KIrk? He hesitates, merely fallin? back upon his belief that a woman's pklrt, for either fall or pprinp. should comp below tho waist. Then economic considerations shoulder modesty aside, perhaps a hit rudoly. Shall modesty as expressed in women's street costumes kIvp way to the argument that women's paxtnents should be changed as little as possible that the owners may pet full s-ervico from everything they h a o ? Which shall pot the decision, our traditional standards of womanly modesty or the flattened pocketbook? And in either case what has the federal govi rnment or any othor government to do with it? Since whon havo mon becomo th Judpe of what is modlet in women's clothing? Or since when have women pa(id any attention to men's criticism of what they wear? til! the "problem is up for settlement, and tho country will await the final doci.ion with Interest.

ALLIES DUTY TO SUPPORT GREECE. Thft allies ar faced with defiance of no mean order in the near east. The revolt of Mustapha Kemal's Turkish nationalist forces brings the premiers face to fflco with decision whether they Khali compel compliance with the treaty or shall yield. Compromise with tho rebels would be disfrustin Hecause of tho iniquity and insolence of the Ottoman, und dangerous because of its Invitation to Austria ;nd Cermany to test the. victors conviction. Treaty enforcement apainst military demonstration, however, demand military me.isnre. and to supply thes neither the people of Trance, nor England, nor Italy hao shown any eacerness They have had quite enounh of war, for a time. What more natural, under the circumstances, than to look with favor upon the propos.il to loose the- Greek armies against tho Turk? In prospect, a Greek camrniirn may seem an easy folution of th problem, but it U likely to prove a desperate chsncc unless th Greeks are plvon vigorous backing by their powerful sponsors and allies. The premiers hue had bitter evidence of the futility of weak-kneed mil.tary ventures in their vacillating course toward Itussi.v Cannpaipn after campaign directed against the bojshevikl fell down mainly because it was not backed adequately with men and material. It would b pitiful to permit th Greeks to waste themselves against th fanatl- arnues of Mustapha Kenvtl. If w must have a campaign apaintt th Turks the world will he happier for making it ac:grensie and decisive. There is little reason to sui -poe ih u Greece, alone. .n war such a war.

GOODRICH'S SPECIAL SESSION. The calling of a special s. ?;on of the assembly of Indiir.ji is necessary only for the sake of politics. No sxmpathy is deserved by those who criticise IS only because of oxpr.se The state auditor is right .is a matter of law In refu sing the transfer of funds in rrder mat state institutions may b kept going. I: is not up to h'm to violate the constitution and Iaws of the state m settlement of Gov. Goodrich'' tconoml idiosyncrasies or the assembly's subserviency t" the crovernor's wh .m. To advocate any other course on the- part f'f the state auditor would be to advocate anarchy, for that Is what anarchy I?; only Indirectly what piutocrated capitalism would have you think deriar.ee of his legalized graft.. but defiance of 'aw. purs. lit of ovf rnment contrary to law. or without law. Put for Gov. Goodrich's efforts to mike a political Fhowir.g. the legislature would have been permitted to make appro; riations to care for the state institutions The governor wanted t-xpenditure kept down to mm' the fsco of his now tax law passed by th 151? so-sif :r. then b.is pet hobby. Now the assembly i to be summoned ostensibly, at least, to make up for that lack of a ppropriation" to the funds that naed thm, so thit the Ntate trcasuror and Auditor may net burn their Änger L- pcriaitUng

other moneys to be used. Of course, everyone knows that has a nose, that there, ia another reason. That P-t tax law of the governor" is proving a bujrbear to the forthcoming pubornatorial campaign. The republicans hae reached the conclusion that lt needs amendir.e. and needs it badly, and that it needs Tr amended htfro electirn or lt will lose them a lot Of VOte". Thit 1 why from jr0,000 to J75.O00 of the peoI le's lr.oney 1 to be .pnt on an extra session. That question of funds H only an Incident thereto. If this latter prrblem were the main thing it would be worth It, ar.d should be Insisted upon by every honest, and law-abiding citizen. Only those who are better anarchista than Americans would object; goldplated anarchists, we moan, who while loud in their demand: for Americanism, have never learned that Americanism means law. respected, observed and upheld above anything else under the min even a tax-receipt. When such an expenditure Is forced by political poppycock, however, that is a different 'matter. Ilesides Indiana has had one extra session of tho assembly since the last regular session; that to ratify woman suffrage. The same objections to the Indiana tax law existed then as exists now, only Gov. Goodrich still thought he could ram it down the people's throats and make them like it in which he has since counted his failure. Now we will spend $50,000 to 175.000 more on an extra session just because of another of the governor's bad breaks, and heraus thoe who must pay the bill, were dissatisfied in 1916 with a Ftate out of debt and Z, 000, 000 on hand, and wanted a change. They are being given what they voted for in that at least. Gov. Goodrich has given them "a change." The people danced to the Goodrich music In 1916. They have been dancing to It ever Fince,, and lt is amoncr the plories of our representative democracy, that when the people dance, they also pay tho fiddler.

THE SILVER SUBSIDY. The gold-mining interests have failed in their attempt to obtain a government subsidy for their product through the device of having a "tax" of ?10 an ounce placed on all gold used for purposes of art and Industry, the tax to be turned over to them. They have also come in for considerable criticism on account of this scheme. The silver-mine owners have been more fortunate. The resumption, a couple of weeks ago. of government purchase of silver bullion under the Plttman act, gives them a nice little profit on their ore. The Plttman act, rasped during the war, ordered the United States treasury to buy over 200,000.000 ounces of silver at $1 an ounce. The occasion for such action, whatever lt may have been. Is regarded as having passed, but the treasury apparently has no choice but to obej- the law. Its present buying has served to raise the market price of domestic silver 20 cents an ounce, and foreign silver, 10 cents an ounce. This virtual subsidy is shared by foreign producers, as a result of the mixing of imported ore with native ore Just who Is to blame for the Hituation, or whether anybody Is to blame for it, is not quite clear, but in the lipht of the established American attitude toward subsidies It Is certainly an odd situation.

SAVING THE PAVING. One of the many cities whose pavements have gone to pieces all at o.ice has discovered, somewhat to Its surprise, that it has an ordinance forbidding truck loads in excess of 12 tons, including the weight of the truck Itself, without a npecial permit. The ordinar.ee also specifies that all vehicles over six tor.s in weight, including the load, must display signs Indicating their capacity. F oth of these requirements have been generally ignored. Many trucks have been driven through the streets carrying as high as 15, 20 and even 24 tons. The pavement foundation on a good many of the streets was never strong enough for & weight of even 12 tons. Xo wonder lt is crushed. The mayor is now enforcing this ordinance. A good many other cities suffering likewise have similar ordinances that are not enforced, and some have not even arrived yet at the point of adopting ordinances on the subject.

The mayor of Cleveland has announced that city employes will not receive their regular salaries while they are absent from duty campaigning for public office. If that rule were applied generally, the American public would save a good deal of money, or else have Its paibllc work better attended to during- political campaigns.

The candidate for vice president on the socialist ticket has challenged Gov. Coolidge to debaie the issues of the campaign. It will be observed that the socialist candidate for president is not seeking a debate with anybody.

The governor of North Carolina is perfectly willin? for Tennessee to accede to the president's reu u est for ratification of suffrage, for he does not want to fool with the matter.

"Why not a woman for preeldent?" queries someone. No reason In the world. All any woman has to do is to pet the nomination and the votes, and the Job Is hers.

Perhaps those quakes on the I'acinc coast are only the candidates quaking in their boots.

Pretty so..n we'll know the real truth about the war. The former kaiser is writ'nc a history of it.

WOMK.V AnK NOT BLIND. (Port Wayne Journal-Gazette.) The self-respecting women of the country' have had an illuminating Illustration of their relative stAndin with the leaders of the partie. One day a delegation called upon Rubber Stamp Harding and were told that he would never think of so monstrous p. thing as askin;, tha legislature of a republican state to ratify the amendment. That same day Woodrow Wilson sent the following telegram to the governor of Tennessee: "It would bo a real service to th party and to the nation lf it is possible for you- under the peculiar provisions of your state constitution, having in mind the recent dt i ision of the supreme court in the nhio case. t call a special session of the legislature of Tennessee to consider the suffrage amendment. Allow me to urre this very earnestly." And the governor i f Tennessee has called the extra so5sion. Is anything more required to show where the frlendj of the women are to be found?

A FISH STORY WITH A MORAL. Py Frank S. Thorpe. Put 100 men on an island where fish is a staple article of sustenance. Twenty-five of the men catch fish. Twenty-five others clean the fish. Twenty-five cook the fish. Twentytlve hunt fruit and vegetables. The entire company eats what thus is gathered and prepared. So long as everybody works, there Is flenty. All hands are happy. Ten of the alloted fish catchers top catching fish. Ten more dry and hide part of the fish they catch. Five continue to catch fish, but work only part of the day at it.

Fewer fish go into the community kitchen. But the same number of men insist upon having the same amount of food as they had before. The CO men who formerly cleaned and cocked the fish have less to do nwinff to the undersupply of fish. But they continue to demand fish. Gradually greater burier.s are laid upon the fruit and vegetable hunters. These insist upon a larger share of fish in return for their larger efforts In gathering fruit and vegetables. It Is denied thern and soon 20 of the 25 quit gathering fruit and vegetables. But the entire 100 men continue to insist upon their right to eat. Tho dally food supply gradually shrinks. The man with two fish demands three bananas In exchange for one of them. The man with two bananas refuses to part with one for fewer than three fish. Finally the 10 men remaining at work quit in disgust. Everybody continues to eat. The hidden fish are brought to lUht and consumed. Comes a day when there Is no food of any kind. Everybody on the island blames everybody else. What would seem to bo the solution? Exactlj'. We thought you would guess it. For we repeat, that you can't eat. buy. sell, steal, give away, hoard, wear, use. play with or gamble with WHAT ISN'T.

They're so many fellows going away from South Pond, we went out and borrowed a Goodrich map ourselves: and came Into study it. In the midst of 'the study, we heard a shrill cry from a basket nearby, and promptly tore up the map. What we started out to say is the departure of Arnold Spielberg and Ernie Bennett from South Bend is going to leave a pair of holes In the ranks of the automobile men which will be exceedingly hard to fill.

"Gee -whlzzl" admiring Greeks remarked, "Across the sea the girl was parked, And yet Leander made the swim; Some record-breaking lover-him." Anh yet without a single wink.

1WY. Thouuh at first glance Fay would seena to be the product of modern fancy the name conies originally from old Enlb-h and the Archaic' Scotch. It means faith and nowadays is used interchangeably with the proper name Faith. Etymological history has no record of Fay being used as a proper name in past centuries in England, though there are frequent instances of its use as an abstract noun. "That neither hath religion nor fay." says Herbert Sponsor. Sometimes Fay is emr loved with the Uniticance of fairy or elf. Indeed it seems quite possible that its frequent use in modern times during the prevalence of fanciful and poetic names may be due to the latter interpretation rather than to the old Puritan habit of bestowing: an abstract virtue as a proper name. Very fashionable young ladies call themselves Faye. The diamond is Fay's talismaijic stom. It is- said to bring her powtr. friends, riches and good luck. But to exercise its full power it must be given her as a pledge of love or friendship and not purchased by her. Wednesday is her lucky day and three her lucky number. The violet is her flower.
