n 'avers Thinks Man Can Be Only
Wondering Spectator of Ever-
Changing Feminine Styles.
"The /lucstlon of woman’* <irf*s t*
a delicate subject. I can’t say what
I would do to prevent Indecoroua 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 lining 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 Roman style of dress In vogue
again.
Man ran do nothing except In the
role of an Innocent and wondering
spectator. His attitude, the ( hlef
thinks, must be strictly noutral. 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 lloes not think
the styles have developed—or revert
ed—to this extent.

I was talking, one
day, with the driver
of a giant locomotive that
helps draw the Wolver

Chicago.
Bis face was tanned frrnn expo*-
ure to the rushing winds that
swept pas t the w i iwlow of hi s cab.
Sooty streaks showed under his
clear eyes, but in them was the
twinkleof the joy of living. And
as he smiled, clean, white, even
teeth gleamed between his lips.
He atniled because he was happy
in his work—and his smileand his
clean.Iteautiful teeth were pretty
good evidence of a clean life.
When Railroads and Police De

of many Nations demand that ap
plicants shall have good, sound
teeth, it is convincing proof
that you should take care of
pour teeth.

The Governors’ Conference, the
Governor declared, was a huge suc

ranch near Cheyenne. Here the Gov

aside completely the cares of State.
