The Arabs, who live within or in the immediate vieinity of the torrid zone, swath themselves in heavy flowing garments while the inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego, where the climate 1s cold, rainy and disagreeable, attach by cord across their bodles the skin of one animal which they shift from one side to the other with the direction of the wind. Complained of Too Many Clothes, “In the early days when quantity of clothes meant rank and style, the desire ‘to keep up with the Joneses’ probably led some individuals to wear 80 many garments that they were , weakening and - deteriorating, for Croesus, whe was the Rockefeller of his day, dissertated at length on the vice which was overtaking some of his acquaintances in a letter to his friend Cyrus the Great of Persia. “One student of costumes of all ages has cleverly divided the develop- ment - of clothing into two classes— the tropisal, based on the girdle, and the Arctic, based on the trouser, but even these divisions have their com- plexities, for the trouser may have been a downward dévelopment of the ‘waistband. The Greeks and Romans got a ‘kick’ out of the fact that the northern barbarians against whom they fought wore trousers. It {m- mediately became a new item which they added to their fashion notes. Where Women Wear Trousers. “But the girdle-trousers classifica- tlon has some othe confusing points —both the men and women wore them. This is still exemplified in the men of today. “As countries deeloped and bound- | ary lines became fixed, the national character of the peoples got busy on their costumes, and we find the Bpainard with a stiff ruff about his neck and broad wings on his doublet, the German with bizarre slashings on his coat amd sleeves, the Dutchman in somber black, and the Venetlan In long flowing garments, Out of #such human frailties and foibles, mixed with national pride, spleed | with climate, and steamed with the imagination of modern modistes, slush 0 all elothes arose protegtion n head- ne susity of the weath,” says a Washington, D), ¢ Natienal Geographie ne by RACKLIFFE BROS., Inc PARK AND BIGELOW STS. ‘Phone 1074 |im uniting nations torn apart by war, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20, 1924, Prince’s Pony Gets U, S, Try-Out |were cooked up the varied and pie [tursaque costumes of the werld o day Whes Straw Hat s Banned | “And even the men Amenca whe prefess o dress comfertably te [suit the weather, still show one ln. gering (race of the age-eld heediess weas of climate, Theugh the sun » shining down with e sometime [autumn velentiessness and the good straw which has served faithfully s {8t In e prime, Sepltember 15 s [felt-hat day.

In the separation of church and state in some of the ‘countries, he de- clared, religious minorities are not receiving their rights, “New boundaries established by post-war treaties have included mil- lions of Protestants in countries of another type of faith,” he said. “The feeling, so strong in eastern FEurope that loyalty to the government in- volves conformity in religion has re- sulted in the imposition of serious Iimitations and disabilities on those Protestants who find themselves strangers in a strange land. In many cases schools have been closed and churches abandoned.” HANDGUFFED PRISONER, 21, LEAPS FROM TRAIN 1 Youth Asks to Go to Washroom and Breaks Through Window to Free- dom, Apparently Uninjured Philadelphia, Aug. 20.—Robert Henry, a handcuffed convict, leaped from a swiftly moving train that was bringing him to the Eastern peniten- tiary here and escaped in dense woods near Paoli, 20 miles from here, Henry is said to have asked per- mission of his guard to go to the washroom. Shortly afterward the sound of crashing glass was heard and the prisoner was seen to alight, retain his equilibrium and dash into space. Henry had served two years of a ten year sentence in the Huntington, Penna., reformatory for attempted robbery and was being transferred to the penitentiary, having reached 21 vears, the age at which, the officers sald, he could be admitted to a penal institution.

Paris, Aug. 20.—The storm ralsed by the British prime minister's letter to France and Belgium, urging ex- pedition of the evacuation of the Ruhr, continues to rage. Official circles, however, that Mr. MacDonald acted quite naturally in the matter, using the only maintain procedure available to him to make | known officially, apart from the Lon- don conference, the traditional view- point of his government. It is further pointed out in these circles that the letter, dated last Sat- urday, was written prior to Premier MacDonald’s speech at the close of the conference In which he expressed gratification at the happy solution of the Ruhr evacuation question; conse- quently, they content, the publication of a letter delayed by purely fortutious circumstances, can in no way modify France's attitude nor diminish the satlsfactory results obtained in Lon- don. This view is not shared by Premier Herrlot's critics who, roused to fresh fury by the letter, continue to attack him in every possible way.

The newspaper adds that the gove ernment, certain of the final result, has no wish to sacrifice valuable lives merely to anticipate the final solution by a few days. “Having conquered in war,” it says, vwe should now conquer in peace, mobilizing public epinion in the fight agalnst subversive tendencies and de- fending the interests of the majority of the population, whose apparent in- difference toward the outbreak has deluded many rebels into thinking they can count on their complicity.” One Woman Starves; Her Sister Is Dying Aug. 20—Miss Mary New York, geventy years old and Ann Reidy, | bilnd, who lived half a century with her sister, Mrs, Elizabeth Doty, sixty five, in a small house in Flushing, was in a critical condition today at the Metropolitan Hosiptal, where she was taken several days after she was found starving in her bed.
