Well that** tine for a historical picture. But nmviv'uys science "111 not let us alone for a single minute. Champion busybodies, these scientist# — regular htlHlnskya! When they are not Inventing i n-u kind of poison gas to abolish war by makm *.-it too deadly for any use they are fixing up a » -.O; nc d intion to do away with Thanksgiving •Inn n». And now they've gone and monkeyed with Plymouth Hock—with Plymouth Rock itftlf! It’s h and tale, fellow Americana And here It Im in ;II its saddening details. An especially sad 1t it is tint it scents to have Its beginning In a v tn-I vrn American Dr. George Frederick Kunx. To be sure, he was born In New York city—and Y i urn! Massachusetts differ a bit on and in many thlnr*—w hich may account for his doings, he's a "gem ex [tert" and a member of n i entitle societies all over the world and • r.T of all s» rts of decorations. Most re- • of nil. he's president of the American s.r.'v nnd Historic Preservation society. 1 \¥ ll Dr. Kent attended the recent meeting at *t\" I.!*, On!., of the British Association for the vk..mement of Science. There he produced a -ren te rliYer which he said was a piece of Plym- .. th Rick. And the Britishers—as eager as ever h. get even, after more than SOO yearn—fell uponthfit poor lone sliver of Plymouth Rock, haled It into a clinic nnd proceeded to operate. Dr. A. P. t'.demvn, Dr. W. H. Collins, Prof. T. U Walker. I»r. H. M. Ami and other Canadian geologists per formed the operation. , Before the operation Plymouth Rock was good eld New England granite. After the operalion—which, of course was entirely successful—Plymouth Ruck was "biotite granite with altered plagioclase feldspar!" The "altered” part of It is ratty to understand, but Just what they did to poor eid Plymouth Rock even a desk dictionary of 1,080 pages can’t explain. And all the comfort one can get out of a WO-pager Is that they didn't say poor old P. R. Is anorthoclase. • But there's more to come—and worse. Those Canadian iconoclasts proceeded to bold what appeared to the Pilgrim society and the National Society of Mayflower Descendants and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to have many resemblances to a post mortem. Whatever It may be called, Its findings are these. In effect: Plymouth Rock H a gay deceiver. * Plymouth Rock deceived the Pilgrims. Plymouth Rock has been masquerading these three hundred years as a "little bit of New Eng land." Plymouth Rock Is a detached boulder, cast on the New England shore by the Ice. Plymouth Rock is a British Immigrant, as British as the Pilgrims themselves. Ph mouth Rock Is a part of a mother rock. h> rated north of the St Lawrence, probably in Labrador. . Plymouth Rock Is an unwitting instrument tn this international deceit, the •'power behind the thrown" being a gigantic glacier that did* the job about 500.000 years ago without attracting general attention. Did the old Bay state rise as one man In protest 1 Wall, not exactly as strung as tlmt-there are a good many Portuguese ground Cape Cod Jtiera days and the French Canadians are as thick

The home of the Bean and the Cod, Now the Lowells have no tone to talk to Since the Cabots apeak Yiddish, b gad. But the patriotic societies of the old Bay state let out a roar of wrath and anguish. And when the University of "Rochester —New York and Massachusetts always did have hard work to dwell together In amity—announced that Plymouth Rock had come from Canada, the grand old Commonwealth got Into action. Gov. Channing H. Cox was oitf of the state, but Lieut. Gov. Alvan T.. Fuller, without waiting a minute, ordered an examination then and there of Plymouth Rock. Canadian geologists are not the only ones who can wield the hammer and juggle the microscope! What Lieutenant Governor Fuller’s geology experts will And—or will report-can only be gueesed at this writing. Perhaps it Is better so! Anyway, Samuel Rice, who Is custodian of Plymouth Rock and its grand new portico and Commonwealth Reservation, reports that “some relic hunter has stolen a sliver 'from the rock,” and points out what seems to be a freshly broken spot on the weather-worn surface eibse to which are marts as If some one had been hammering. Plymouth Rock was taken from the custody as the Pilgrim Society of Plymouth In 1920 by the Commonwealth of Masaaehasetts ami is now a ward of the state. It Ilea about eight feet below the flooring of the portico which covers It and It Is possible to walk about three sides of It. The old canopy which covered the rock from 1567 to <*• 1920 was provided with tall steel grill gates which were nights so “relic hunters” bad little chance then. As to the “Thanksgiving Esta” many good Americana would doubtleas be glad to see Massasolt more highly honored ,on Thanksgiving day. it was he who introduced the cranberry and the “punkin’* to the American people through the Pilgrima Massiisoii may have been a poor ignorant l savage and all that, but he and his people had a delightfully simple and falriy efficient agricultural system: Corn in the hili and a climbing taqtn: a pumpkin seed every Jive hill*. Maasasolt showcl the Pilgrims the >cfanberry growing wild tn the marshes and had no difficulty, whatever in demonstrating that mast turkey and cranberry sauce was one heaven-born combination. The Pilgrim*, of course, knew about turkey*, which had been taken serosa eras from Mexico and had become common on English farms before 1(W. But it waa MaaaMott.who brought turkey, ernn berry and pumpkin together for the Pilgrims. Maasaaoit eviditntly was what In them days would be called “a good-old seout.” At the time of the arrival «if the Pilgrims be wns head chief or sachem of the Wampanoags. whose territory extended from rape <’pd to Narragansett bay.

The “Mayflower Compact” Is «f course one of the lni|>urtant d«n uments American history. It was signed by the 41 [‘ilgrimifc’in the cabin <rf the Mayflower before the landing on Plymouth Kock.

Straight, Tubular Outline in Favor

Two silhouettes dominate the afternoon and "semi-formal dresses for the season, according to a fashion authority in the New Tork Herald-Tribune. The straight, tubular outline, so generally affected last season, is still popular and is featured principally in tailored dresses and ensemble units The new silhouette type is distinguished J>y a flare which occurs usually at the lower sector of the skirt. This flare effect is achieved by means of tunics, inserted godets and plaits, and it is seen in every genre of frock except the strictly tailored dress. The most'advanced silhouette of the season has a molded or seml-molded bodice, continues its narrow lines over the hips and flares moderately at the hemline. It is decidedly shorter than last seas<ft/ and averages from thirteen to fifteen Inches off the ground. No one type of waistline stands out definitely this fall. The line may be high directolre, low, normal oi absent. There is a decided tendency I 9lßm Hb\ \ Black Velvet Overblouse Worn Over a White Satin Slip. toward the marked waistline, and a retvrn to a normal perceptible line by next spring is generally predicted. The long sleeve is a definite and essential factor in afternoon dresses. The plain tight-fitting .variety is the most frequent note, but there are numerous other divertissements which are also en regie. among these are the medieval gauntlet type, the bishop sleeve, the Elizabethan plaited ruffle that covers the band, and the shaped sleeve. The cuff is often made in an opposing color or of a contrasted material. In general the long, slender effect is Invariably decreed in street and afternoon dresses for fall and winter. The typical fall neckline is decidedly high. This effect Is achieved through high collars, which may be attached or separate, through the scarf, and by means of the jabot The directolre collar is a frequent and popular note. A very effective innovation is the soft, high collar, which

Many Shades in the Van for Coats

Black, green and brown shades are tn the van for coats, and the greatest of these Is brown. A full range of brown hues is seen in the new modeta. emphasizing russet-browu. Brick, scarlet, dull red and bottle green, the latter one of the season’s outstanding shades, la recommended for those to whom the brown range does not appeal Burundukl. or chipmunk. leopard, natural muskrat, astrakhan, beaver, squirrel and the varied species of fox are the outstanding fur trimmings for fall and winter coat a These are era ployed principally for collars, cuffs and hemline borders. Large buttons, tassels, braids and self trimmings applied in such a manner as to give a contrasted effect are among other outstanding trimmings of tlie season. Straight lines feature the vast majority of ensemble coats, and there is less of the flared effect than In any other part of the feminine ward robe. When the low flare does occur it is usually accompanied by a slightly fitted waistline. Sleeves and waistline follow the

Trimmings for Every Type of Dress Material

Every kind of material has a trimming all its own thia year. There seems to be almost unbreakable rules for this. And here are some of them: Trim striped material with Itself laid at right angles so that it, the dress, is lined up and down and collar, cuffs, pockets and vest have their lines running across. Trim flowered dresses with raffles. Rows of them If you like, only one or two if you prefer, but enough to give the slightly bouffant elect Trim solid color dresses—cotton ones—with white bands or white A New Shade of Pansy The loveliest new evening frock for fall is made of pansy purple chiffon that shades from light to dark. The drees is sleeveless and Is trimmed with large circles made of narrow purple satin ribbon. These rosettes outline the skirt and graduated ones are i placed on either side of the skirt from

is turned down over a small, trim tie. The tunic is of paramount importance this season. It is employed by practically every Paris designer and it plays a significant part In the Inauguration of the more involved silhouette. The tunic may be an integral part of the dress or it may appear as a separate tunic-blouse. Tunics are straight, bias dr slashed and they are most generally used for noon and street ensemble costume, where coat and tunic are of identical length. • Itaytlme dresses show “a distinct tendency toward ribbed materials, socalled to distinguish them from flatsurfaced fabrics. Bengaline, ottoman and faille are the leading materials of this type. Crepe satin, kasha, reps, twill, fulgurante, silk velvets and artificial silk velvets are also important materials. For dresses which accompany the ensemble, brocaded and metallic fabrics are an important note. Colorful hues are gradually superseding black and white, although the latter combination is still a most prominent factor for street and afternoon frocks. Among the new hues, the brown range, from rust to beige, is the most popular color note. Navy blue, bottle green and red are also prominent. Tartan and Scotch plaids are seen In profusion, especially in sports clothes. Leopard, skunk, tiger, monkey fur, buttons, braid, silk fringe, chenille embroidery, appliques of velvet, fur and suede, bead and thread embroideries, buttons, tassels and fabric manipulation are the outstanding trimmings for the fall and .winter daytime dress. Afternoon Coat*. The coat silhouette Is undergoing a gradual reconstruction, with the result that there are two general outi lines offered for autumn —the perennial stnu£.at-line and the receqt fuller | effect. Tte coat tlare begins'- at n higher line than the dress and Is slightly more pronounced. Godets and flounces are employed to achieve this distended effect, which usually occuri about the knees. The trend in winter coats is toward the new and fuller silhouette, but both outlines are amj will remain en regle» for fall and winter. A frequent, characteristic of the flaring type is a slightly fitted effect at the waistline. Many coats are double fronted, so that the upper part inuy fold back, while the under front, of a different fabric, is held across the figure—the famous double coat effect which has attracted- such wide atten tlon this season. Wide gauntlet cuffs of fur are the most effective of an unusually varied collection of sleeves which appear on the new fall and winter coats. There are no decided dicta on coat sleeves, which may be narrow, puffed, bishop or wide wing affairs that give a tea» gown appearance. \ Collars are often of the same Jma--1 terial as the cuff and correspond in genre. For Instance, the gauntlet cuffs mentioned above are accompanied by a high collar of the sama fur. Large, abundant directolre collars and simple, smaller affairs share i the stage equally. Fichu, choker and shawl effects lead. The materlalj of ensemble coats invariably Include the material of the dress. Sometimes this is the principal fabric and sometimes it is utilized only as a prominent trimming. The ribbed silks, particularly ottoman and bengaline, soft napped cloths Including kasha and velours de laine, velvet, velveteen and Smyrne cloths are the leading fabrics for the street coat. Scotch and tartan plaid woolens are 'highly favored for sports coats.

general tendencies of other coats. The sleeves are fairly ample and frequently fur trimmed. Fine woolen suede-finish materials, velvet kasha, velours de laine, duvetyn and fur are the outstanding materials. The lining of the coat is nearly always the identical material of the principal fabric of the dress. Brown, dark red and green are the leading shades. A characteristic ensemble touch Is the combination of a dark colored coat and a contrasting, bright-hued dress. Materials are more sumptuous than In regular daytime dresses. In addition to the ribbed silks—ottoman, bengaline and faille—there are crepe silks, satins, plaited georgette, brocaded chiffon, printed and brocaded velvets, silver lame shot with color and mousseline de sole. Sometimes an entire runic Is developed in a pliable fur pelt The bright tones of red. green, beige and gray are the most significant shades of a very diversified color range.
