November 24, 1916. “Gin a body get a bonnét, Need a body swear?" Oh, no, Mr. Cartoonist, desist! ' Fifty-dollar and up bonnets are no longer the bone of contention in most of our happy homes. Almost any “bit lassie” can fashion a “bit liddie as pretty and “niftick” as those Nell Brinkley draws, for from 50 cents to $5. Or, if the lady is not clever with her fingers, and if she buys expensive hats now and then, after all what does that matter? What's in a hat? 1 A far more serious problem,con- 1 fronts the darling daddy and the hard- working husband, now. When little daughter comes crooking her arm around papa’s neck and pulling that long-suffering right ear, it will not be to wheedle hats from daddy's pocket- book. When dearest Dora dons her daintiest dinner dress and prepares your. favorite dishes for the evening meal, never fear that she is paving the way to ask for one of those dreadful dreams, those perfect nightmares which used to haunt the region of your bank account, a hat. The desideratum now is shoes. When™ you were very, very, very young, you looked with envy on the ideal grown-up who always wore four- dollar shoes. The day that you bought your own first five-dollar pair was an eventful one in your life. But now— five-dollar shoes, why you couldn’t think of wearing such cheap things. Even ten or fifteen-dollar pairs are rather common. - Today, Mr. Car- toonist, the trouble comes on account of shoes. Perfectly wonderful crea- tions they are—all gold and silver, hand-painted, embroidered, spotted and otherwise, and the prices are pro- portionately grand. Twenty-five dol- lars is asked for the hand-painted { variety and more elaborate styles are to be had at thirty per. Thanksgiving in Liacoln. Mr. and Mrs, Edward Creighton and Mr. Herbert Connell will be guests at a house party of Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Miller Raymond in Lin- coln next week.

Says Women's Skirts to | Reach Shoetops; Chicago, Nov. 24.—Radical changes in women’s garments, efféctive in the spring, were promised in an an- nouncement last night by /Alexander Weisz, president of the Designers’ Association of Women Clothes, the biennial convention of which begins here December 6. The skirts of suits and dresses no longer will permit a view of several | inches of hosiery, he asserted, and will reach the shoe tops. He added that the straight lined garments will supplant the flaring skirt. The spring models, it was an- nounced, will cost from 15 to 20 per cent more, scarcity of dye stuff, the high price ol yarn, and the fact that straight line models will necessitate flaring styles, were given as reasons.

This value ‘may be the re-| sult of a convention, or ngeemenl.‘ and is liable to be changed in the | same manner. The idea of such a limit seems to have crystallized at the beginning of the eighteenth century, when the Dutch jurist Bynkershock formulated the principle that a nation’s jurisdic- | tion over adjacent sea waters should extend as far as its cannon could give protection, and this distance after- ward came to ‘be widely fixed at three miles from the shote, although all the nations did not agree upon it, Germany always insisting that the distance should be variable according to the increasing range of cannon, while Norway demanded four miles, and Spain six. It is easy to see that bays and in- dentations of the coast line must give rise to modifications in the shape of the line marking the limit. The pro- vision about headlands ten | miles apart, mentioned above, indicates how this difficulty has been dealt with. In 1894 the International Law associa- tion adopted the principle that terri- torial waters should extend six sea miles from low water mark along te whole extent of seacoast belonging to a nation, and that “for bays, terri- torial waters follow the trend of the coast except that it is measured from a straight line drawn across the bay from the two points nearest the sea where the opening of the bay is twelve marine miles in width, unless a greater width shall have become recognized by immemorial usage.” This is a lhinin¥ example of the ineptness of much legal phraseology, furnishing grist for law mills. The Hague convention on the rights and duties of neutrals, in 1907, did not undertake to define the seaward limit of distance for territorial waters, but confirmed the “existing . practice,” which, if an actual and flagrant case of violation should arise, would un- doubtedly let loose a tremendous up- roar in the windy cave of interna- tional law. . It may be worth while to try to illustrate by geometrical diagrams what the legal mind seems to be driving at in this matter. In the case of a straight shore-line, or one fol: lowing a broad, regular curve, there three-mile limit. But take the case of the lower bay of New York. A sub-' marine, or a torpedo boat, could lurk between Rockaway Point and Sandy Hook, or between the Hook and Swinburne Island, and have room to maneuver, and to sink ships, without SATURDAY, NOVEMB&R 25, 1916.

A warship at “C" would be three miles from shore on all sides, but the law would forbid it to do any warlike act there, and would compel it to retire as far as “C2" three miles from the nearest point of the chord drawn between the two ex- tremities of the bay.
