ACCEPTS OFFICE. New vice president and three new members of the Board of Directors of the American Forestry Association announced recently by Charles Lathrop Pack, president, including the name of Mrs. Warren G. Harding as a vice president. Dr. Henry S. Drinkler, former president of Lehigh; Charles F. Quincy of New York City, and Dr. Hugh P. Baker of New York City, all directors of the American Forestry Association, have been made members of the forestry committee of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, which committee is in session in Chicago this week. From there the committee goes to the Pacific coast to gather data as to the requirements for a national forest policy. 4 d legal invasion of these individual pre- rogatives. Obvious public indecency is not to be tolerated, but when the obvious is eliminated it is no easy matter to draw the line between modesty and immodesty. This becomes largely a question of judgment and of custom. What seems shocking today may not seem so at all tomorrow. Familiarity sometimes breeds acquiescence, as it sometimes breeds contempt. A case in point is the length of skirts worn by women. Thirty years ago a skirt reaching only to the shoe toes was not only out of style but out of countenance as a sartorial propriety in public places. Today such a skirt is not cause for censure or for a significant shrug of feminine shoulders. On the contrary it has approval as an habiliment of common sense and of hygienic FACTS AND FANCIES. WOMANS DRESS. Mrs. Warren G. Harding is showing herself to be as discreet as her distinguished husband. At a tea in the White House given for newspaper women she refused to be inveigled into a polemic on the subject of womans dress. That was a question, she said, which should be decided by individuals in their own homes. The general principle laid down by Mrs. Harding is sound and good. What a woman should wear or not wear should be decided by her ln conformance with the dictates of her own conscience, and.true to her conception of what is good taste. The element of attractiveness is, of course, properly considered. It is as desirable that a woman should look her best as that a painter should strive to his utmost to make his picture pleasing. Beauty and harmony are always worth while. Whether we are consciously sensitive of them or not, they add to the pleasures of life. There is a limit beyond which the law steps In and says a man or woman may not go in the matter of dress or undress. Legislators, however, are exceedingly slow and properly so to establish rules and regulations on the subject. They agree with Mrs. Harding that modesty is a thing that should be volunteered and not compelled; that the Individual should be the arbiter in the proprieties of garb, and that only in extreme cases should there be any terests. Did you bring back any souvenirs? A. No, got deloused at Brest. Q. Why did they call a private a Q. buck? A. Because he gets a dollar a day. Q. Who named the Infantry doughboys? The French storekeepers. Q. Get much reading material over there? A. Learned both shirts by heart. Were you ever sick in the army? A. In it and of It, whenever it rained. Q. What ailed you? A. Whatever C. C.s and iodine are good for. Q. Have you ever noticed how polite the trees are? They always bough before leaving. The Wisconsin HARDING HONOR8 UTAH WOMEN. President Hardings first nomination for a woman to be collector of customs was sent to the senate Wednesday when he named Mrs. Jennie P. Musser, a native of Payson, to be collector for district No. 38, with headquarters in this city.

A sufferer who lives close to the railroad yards in the suburbs wrote the following to the railroad company complaining about the Tacket made by. a switch engine: Gentlemen: Why is It that ypur switch engine has to hing and dong and fizz and spit and bang and hiss and pant and grate and grind and puff and bump and chug and hoot and toot and whistle and wheeze and jar and perk and howl and snarl and puff and growl and thump and boom and clash and polt and screench and snort and snarl and slam and throb and roar and rattle and yell and smoke and smell and shriek like hell all night long?

Williams, general manager of the Dayton Wright company. The wing will increase the speed of an ordinary bombing or commercial airplane to 125 to 150 miles an hour and its load of explosives or merchandise from 450 to 2,500 pounds. The state of Washington has adopted a law similar to that of California prohibiting ownership or lease of land by aliens ineligible to citizenship. This action was taken in the face of protest from the Seattle Chamber of Commerce lest it lose some trade with Japan, In spite of veiled threat from the manager of one of the large Japanese steamship companies as to possi INTERMOUNTAIN ITEMS.
