Aatker great question of the spring
laifeiias which can be .more definitely
iBCTrered is that of the length of
rftlfi$. They very short skirts which
Pftl"wore and which have been worn
ia-Afci-erica this past winter are pass-
fajr;;. It is confidently expected that
sklrte will be a little longer as the
sK;iic progresses pot U greal deal
le4gef but an inch or so. How like the
difebites of fashion to insist that skirts
sfcemld be very short for the cold of
wiattr and longer for tne heat of the
Ettiuaer!

It is delightful to find this spring
a lavish use' of pretty crepe-like silU
to replace somewhat charmeuse and
satin.
A gown of 'cantoif crepe is .approp-
riate for the street in the darker

the pastyeari From Paris comes thecounts on their backs begin to gath
er. As the 10 o clock edition time
approaches there are frequent scuf-
fles to edge closer to the doors ef the
circulation offices. A few of the bet-
ter dressed idle ones even invade the
newspaper office.
jvs me presses start uummmg tne
crowd becomes .a surging' roaring
mob and as the first newsboys appear
the i papers are literally torn from
them and coins stuffed into their pock-
ets or Jmrled into their hands."
Then begins the feverish search for
"live" ads. One by one they are dis-
covered and applicants edge out of
the crowd and start oft on a run.
Frequently a score of men will be
strung out in track meet formation
down the center of a busy Loop
street all after the same job. Then it
is a case of sprinting ability and
where the run has not been too far
there are some thrilling finishes at the
employment office.
The unemployment situation here is
steadily growing worse according to
State and Government agencies. Wel-
fare workers have started a campaign
:to provide mom "flops" where the
idle men can find a night's lodging for
ten cents. Many of the unemployed
are ex-service men - according to
these workers some m bad physical

in America there is still a tendency
to lengthen the waist slightly many
of the dresses! like this one of canton
crepe have placed a broad soft belt
at the actualjl waist line. '

waisted corsage. In this we find the

Proposed Ordinance in

Said to Be Unpopular
l .
The propos'ed parking ordinance for
automobiles jiwhich was drawn by
Judge E. A. Wilson former city lattor-
ney is on filji in the office of the city
secretary where it may receive con-
sideration a future meetings pf the
council. Essential details of the ordi-
nance indicate that it is not .at all
popular andjjmay fail of further con-
sideration for this reason. It requires
that all auto's be parked parallel with
the sidewalkj instead of at an angle
of 45 degrees as at present One offi-
cial in disciilssing the proposed ordi-
nance today; j said there would be a
string of auios reaching to Greenleaf
cemetery every Saturday night lif this
ordinance should become H lav? as it
would1 require so much room! The

FORT WORTH Feb. 23. .Passage
of laws which are being considered in
Oklahoma and Arkansas .to- prohibit
the shipment ofTexas fever tick in-
fested cattle into or through those
states would practically close the
Kansas City livestock market to Tex-
as shippers according to Dr. H. Graf-
kc inspector in charge of the tick
eradication work in Texas..
All direct railroad routes from
Texas to Kansas City Dr. Grafke said
pass through Oklahoma or Arkansas
and thus would be closed to shippers
i
in this state. .Texas wouki also be
cut off from markets in Oklahoma and
Arkansas he said just as it Is now
from New Orleans by the. law recent-
ly passed in Louisiana.
"Bills prohibiting the shipment of
tick infested'' cattle through Oklaho-
ma and Arkansas arc being consider-
ed in those states" Dr. Gfafke said.
"The cattle men Of the tWoN states
feel that they.have trouble enough in
eradicating the Texas fever tick in
their own sections without beiag
menaced by the shipment of tick in-
fested cattle through their states.
"The governor of Arkansas and.
other state officials assured the vet-
erinarians in charge of the tick erad-
ication work in Texas Oklahoma Ar-
kansas and Louisiana that they favor
ed any measure that would speed up
the tick eradication."
The Louisiana law which prohibits
the shipment of all southern cattle
into or through that state became ef-
fective February 11. Fifteen separate
outbreaks of the Texas fever tick in
Louisiana in 1920 were tracedMlrect-
ly to shipments of southern-cattle Dr..
Grafke said. In many cases he said
the infection resulted whencattle in
shipment "pushed tick infested straw
bedding from their cars onto the open
ranges where it was encountered by
herds of Louisiana cattle.

and Oklahoma
officials reported the progress of-their-work
at a. meeting held in Little .Rock
Ark. recently. The proposed Okla
homa and Arkansas measures accord-
ing to Dr. Grafke Were suggested at
tne meeting. It was said that a move-
ment was being launched among the
progressive cattle raisers to obtain
the passage by congress of a law
which would prevent the shipment of
cattle from quarantined areas .through
any clean territory. The present
quarantine laws it was said nov? are
mostly local and while some sections
restrict shipment of cattle infested
with the fever tick into or through
them other sections are not so pro-
tected and. it is sometimes hard to
prevent spread of the pest.
Dr. Grafke said that the authorities
in charge of tick eradication which is
supervised by the federal bureau of
animal industry. Were "well satisfied
with the work thus far." He expect-
ed to get fifty counties in East and
Southeast Texas out of quarantine
this year and fifty more next year.
The work is accomplished largely in
the spring and activity will start
"jiext month he said. Mist of "West
Texas has been freed of the pest.
Oklahoma according to Dr. Grafke
has appropriated $82000 to carry on
work between now" and "June 30 in
ridding the small territory still infest-
ed with the tick while a larger ap-
propriation to finish the work during
the next biennial period is expected.
Louisiana expects to have fifty-two
clean counties by the end of the year.
Arkansas has all but twenty-four of
its seventy-live counties out of quar-
antine. Thq action of the new members of
tho Texas livestock sanitary commis-
sion recently appointed by Governor
Pat M. Noff iB'betng" watched with in-
terest Dr; Grafke said. Although a
measure has been introduced in the
Texas legislature proposing to abol-
ish the tick eradication law Dr. Graf-
ke said that strict enforcement of the
law is expected in view of the gover-
nor's stand for enforcement of the
state's laws.
The new( members of the livestock
sanitary commission are J. E. Boog-
Scott Of Coleman chairman; Paul L.
Smith of Gilmer and J. D. Murray of
San Antonio. They are expected to
meet here within the next two weeks
to prepare for this year's work.
