As in Western Europe, the end of the great war im mediately registered itself in a shoit emng of skirts in every Allied country, so in Eastern Europe the final aovent of peace brought the short skirt. Peace was a couple of years late in '"'"S nis part of the world and the short skirt was correspondingly de layed. Today, however, a casual vis itor joining the Sunday fashions pa rade might almost imagine himself back in Paris or America. Excepting the peasants, the women of Riga dress just as would the women of any medium sized city in the middle-west. That is, in Summer. For in Winter, Riga is as ' cold as deepest Russia. To the American woman, with her handbag filled with American currency, shopping in Riga would be "clover." An excellent ready-made dress may be bought for fifteen hundred roubles about three dollars at present exchange and a serge suit for 8,000. Hats run from one to two thousand two or four dollars. The stores here have stocks equal to the stocks in the average middle-western town of this size in the United States. ' IMMEDIATE STRIKE OF TRAINMEN TO RESULT Chicago, Sept. 28. An immediate strike of the 168,000 railway trainmen employed cn American roads will be ordered if the strike vote, now being counted, favors it, James Murdoch, vice president of the organization, an nounced Tuesday night. "As a matter of fact," said Mr. Murdoch, "a strike really has been authorized already by the leaders. The minute the vote is counted, the strike order will be issued provided the vote favors a strike and there is little chance it won't. The leaders will not oppose the wishes of the men." Counting c.f the strike ballot will be completed within a few days. ANDREW IS ELECTED MASS. CONGRESSMAN K. C. CONDEMNS K. K. K. Chicago, Sept. 28. Resolutions de nouncing the Ku Klux Klan as un American were adopted and a commit tee to co-operate with Federal and other investigators of the Klan was appointed at the national convention of Order of Alphambra, Knights of Columbus, which closed here Tuesday night. Boston, Sept. 28- A. Piatt Andrew, former assistant Secretary of the Treasury, was chosen to succeed Will fred P. Liuckin, as Congressman from the sixth Massachusetts district at the special election Tuesday. Mr. An drew, the Republican candidate, won by a majority of 15,753 over Charles I. Pettingell, of Amesbury, Democrat, associate justice of the district court- The complete vote was , Andrew 22,545; Pettingell 6,792. The ratio did not differ greatly from that of last year when Lufkin received 47,821 votes as against 15,523 for his Demo cratic opponent. WIDE BELTS FOR MEN PARIS, FASHION Paris, Sept. 28. Georges Carpentier has adopted the "he corset" the new est thing in wear for males. From time immemorial, Frenchmen have worn the old-fashioned "galluses." During the war they discovered the ad vantage of the belt as worn by Amer icans. But the manufacturers went the Americans one better, and are making them about four inches wide, in fancy stamped leather or embroidered canvas and advertising them as "a great aid to the manly form." Maurice Chevalier, the famous come dian, has also adopted the new stylft. A ROYAL COMMUTER. Paris, Sept. 28 King Alfonso of Spain, has joined the ranks of royal air commuters. An air-taxi designed for his personal use, has been com pleted by a French firm. The machine will make 130 miles per hour and bears the royal coat-of-arms. Jaille, . a well known French pilot, will act as chauffeur. MANY SCHOOLS ARE FIRETRAPS Fifteen Thousand Persons Burned to Death Last Year in This Country. Boston, Sept. 28. Last year nearly 15,000 persons were burned to death with approximately 20.000 injured, a large percentage of whom were in jured permanently and made a public charge on our citizenship, T. Alfred Fleming, of the National Board of Fire Underwriters of New York City told the Automotive section of the National Safety Council congress here today. "A classification of these losses shows that over 70 per cent are women and children of school age and under. This classification shows that the home and the school have been neglected in our great scheme of safety educa tion. It also shows the effectiveness of the general campaign of safety in the shop and factory. DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. "Co-incident with this loss of life, the destruction of property during 1920 as quoted by W. E. Mallalieo, general manager of the National Board of Fire Underwriters almost doubled that of any previous year of our his tory, reaching an enormous total of over $505,000,000 which does not in clude the stupendous losses in forestry, 90 per cent of which is due to care lessness of citizens. This waste of our national wealth of nearly one and one-half millions a day is paid for by every citizen of the nation. It is generally considered that these losses are borne largely by insurance com panies which is true but insurance com panies are only collecting and distrib uting agencies and of necessity are compelled to require increased rates to cover increased losses. Every prod uct purchased for the home or for the factory has in its cost to the consumer an amount' to cover the in surance and overhead cost. It is the largest and most unnecessary leakage of the country's resources, and is al most entirely avoidable and unneces sary. "Paul C- Redington of the Foresfxy Division of the United States, in an address in California recently stated that of 20,244 forest fires caused by campers last year, 76 per cent or over 15,000 were due to smokers' carelessness. It would seem that the only way to obviate these tremendous losses of life and property would be to conduct the . longest possible continu ous campaign of education for their elimination. HOME AND SCHOOL. "The sections where safety has been most neglected are in the home and school. It is an appalling fact that not one business man out of every 200 has ever appl'jl the knowledge of safety he has in his factory to his home. He has forgotten to call a "cabinet meeting" of the members of his family and servants to instruct them how to turn in an alarm, how to extinguish a fire in its inciDiencv. how to avoid danger from articles used in the home and how to use the extinguisher he has installed. In other words, financial value in pro duction has 1000 per cent more care and oversight than the priceless jew MINISTER IS FINED FOR KEEPING LICENSE Rev. C. M. Graham, colored, of Char lotte, was tried before Magistrate F. B. . Alexander at the courthouse Tues day afternoon and fined $200 and the costs for violating the law which re quires every minister or justice of the peace who performs the marriage cere mony for a couple to file the license in the register of deeds' office, from which license is obtained, before the lapse of 60 days. The law also provides the de linquent, if proved guilty, shall forfeit $200 to the prosecuting person. The prosecuting witness in the case against Graham was Albert Graves, col ored, who, on October 20, 1920, obtained license at the- Mecklenburg county reg ister of deeds office to marry Mary Ida Barron. The marriage ceremony was performed on October 31, 1920, accord ing to the testimony adduced in court, and the officiating minister did not file the license until September 23, 1921, after the prosecuting witness had com plained about the matter. Graves was represented by Attorney Wade H. Williams.

Sept. 28. Spangler's Spring at which Union and Confede rate soldiers drank together during a lull in the fighting at the close of the second day of the Battle of Gettsburg, July 2, 1863, may pass out of existence. Typhoid fever gedms have been found in the water and the State Depart ment of health has condemed it. The spring is one of the historic spots of the famous battlefield. Here soldiers of the contending armies met, drank together and filled their canteens with water for their wounded comrades when darkness stopped the fighting that had raged steadily throughout the day. Thousands of tourists tnd visitors to the battleground drink from the spring: annually. FIKJE PREVENTION DAY. WXs-iiington, Sept. 28 State Gov ernors were requested by President Harding in a proclamation Tuesday to designate October 10, anniversary cf the Chicago fire, as Fire Prevention Day. The proclamation set forth that fires causes an annual loss of life estimated at 15.000 in addition to many millions of property damage, including valuable timber. The difference between movies and vaudeville is that in the former the audience does the talking. The glorious blending of colors, the exquisite soft tones, the sheen of the fabric, these are the things that make the Oriental Rug desired above all others. When one may have the pleasure of choosing a rug from an assortment of genuine Oriental floor coverings (direct importations) as wide as that on display in our rug department, there's certain to be a definite amount of satisfaction in the one finally selected. We give below a few examples of the extreme moderate ness of the prices we have placed on these wonderful rugs. A Nahal 14.2x10.2 at Medicated Smoke Drives Out Catarrh Dr. Blosser's Cigarettes Give Out a Healing and Soothing Smoke-Vapor That Clears the Head, Nose and Throat. Dr. Blosser Is the originator of a certain combination of medicinal herbs, flowers ,and berries to be smoked In a els of human life in the home, and ?&a or Jeady PrPared cigarette which strong- as its homes "Similar negligence is shown in the care, maintenance and construction of our schools. A very small percentage of the members of our present boards of education have assumed more than the financial burden of school sa&vi- ties while they are equally respoiETale for the moral and physical safety of each child under their care. There is a great disregard of properly estab lished rules in th construction of new buildings and tli'e remodeling of old structures. It has been found bv ex perts, that over 90 per cent of the school buildings are more unsafe either structurally or in maintenance than the Collinwood school when it burned causing the death of 173 children and three teachers. Over five schools burn in the United States for each day of the year. Trifles due to carelessness or through thoughtlessness are the causes of the largest percent age of fire casualties and conflagra tions. UNPROTECTED OPENINGS. "It has been said by an eminent authority that 70 per cent of our loss of life is due to unprotected vertical openings. I firmly believe this is true. It is the vertical opening left unprotected that allows the fire to spread through the building or to the adjoining area. Lack of proper fire windows, shutters, water curtains, opn stairways and elevator shafts,, lack of fire doors between divisions of or main buildings. This is what traps, the work man at his bench or the clerk making ner sales. "The above coupled with improper fire exit facilities spells . the death sentence of thousands. It is a travesty on the present high standards of mental development to note the useless sham involved in 90 per ent of mi' present exit facilities. Fire escapes constructed against the sides of buuti ings and passing ordinary glass win dews, eliminating their utility after the first puff of flame from the window below. Spiral slides erected inside of a steel enclosure, frequently found locked with a padlock at the exit door below, only prepare a more horrible death by roasting, while deluding many with surroundings of apparent safety. I personally found .three of these traps locked with Yale padlocks', whose keys were lost even while 28 rooms of the school, they were sup posed to serve, were in session. "It is the duty of every employer to help, every 'member of boards of education and tevery home owner to realize that he personally must assume the liability and provide 100 per cent safety for those for whom he is responsible." meeting catarrhal troubles.
