Beavers Thinks Man Can Be Only
Wondering Spectator of Ever-
Changing Feminine Styles.
"The question of woman’s dress Is
a delicate subject. I can’t say what
I would do to prevent Indecorous and
Immodest garb until my attention Is
called to such a case.”
This was the manner In which
Chief Beavers avoided committing
himself Friday In respect to the pol
icy in several other cities which has
resulted In the arrest and fining of
women who have appeared on the
streets In gowns too daring.
The Chief would talk about wom
an’s dress In a general way, yes; but
when It came to setting the line be
tween modesty and Immodesty or to
divulging what he would do If the
limit were overstepped, he was silent
Chief Beavers Is a firm believer In
the theory that the history of wom
an's dress forms a cycle that re
volves every hundred years or so. He
would not be surprised If, In due time,
the fair sex reverted to the hoop
skirt with Its picturesque accessories.
Neither would It astound him to see
the Homan style of dress in vogue
again.
Man can do nothing except In the
role of an innocent and wondering
spectator. His attitude, the Chief
thinks. ihust be strictly peutral. If
the fad for X-ray garments and such
like begins to hark back to the days
in the Garden of Eden, then It be
comes a matter for official comment
for the protection of the community’s
morals, but the Chief doeR not think
the styles have developed—or revert
ed—to this extent.
Judge Doesn’t Think
X-ray Dress Immoral.
KANSAS CITY, Sept, ft.—"There is
nothing immoral In the slit skirt and
X-ray gown, or any* other present
form of women’s attire," declared
Judge Ralph Latshaw, of the Crimi
nal Court here, wh n asked for his
opinion by persons furthering a cam
paign against extreme styles In dress.

Tenor Voice Becomes Protege
of Schumann-Heink.
PATERSON, N. J., R*pt. 5.—Ed-
ward J. McNamara, who Is known in
this section as "Paterson’s opera-
fringing’ policeman,” will tour the
United States In 1914 with Mme.
Ernestine Schumann-Heink. the fa
mous contralto, according to an an
nouncement confirmed by the diva at
her country place at Slngac, near
Caldwell.
Mme. Schumann-Heink first heard
of McNamara last spring when she
read of the preparations for the four-
day musical festival at the Paterson
armory. She was Interested in what
was said of McNamara, hta voice and
his refusal to leave the police force
for the musical world unless he could
be assured of a salary large emough lo
permit him to continue to take care cf
his aged parents. She decided lo
hear him.
His powerful tenor voice charmed
Schumann-Heink and she compli
mented him.
A few days ago the policeman was
summoned by the diva to her Singac
country home.
She had him sing for her again.
Then she made him an offer to tour
the country with her next year, which
he accepted.
"He is such a nice boy," Schu
mann-Heink said of McNamara, who
is now 34. "He has a wonderful voice
and I am sure will make a success of
the tour. Of course, he will be called
upon to study, but he Is earnest and
I am confident he will be all right.”

MADRID, Sept. 5.—Bomblta, the
champion bullfighter of Spain, has re
tired after a career of fifteen years,
during which time he has killed 3,000

Bomblta Is 34 years old.
I was talking, one
day, with the driver
of ft giant locomotive that
helps draw the Wolver
ine from New York to
Chicago.
His face was tanned from expoe-
nre t<> the rushing winds that
swept past the window of his cab.
Sooty streaks showed tinder his
c lear eyes, but in them was the
twinkleof the joy of living. And
as he smiled, clean, white, even
teeth gleamed between his lipe.
He smiled because he was happy
in his work—and hissmileandhis
clean, beautiful teeth were pretty
good evidence of a clean life.
When Railroads and Police De
partments, Armies and Navies
of many Nationsdemand that ap
plicants shall have good, sound
teeth, it is convincing proof
that you should take care of
your teeth.

reception was. the Governor added, It
was not up to the standard set by the

The moat enjoyable part of the trip,
according to the Governor, was the
