ROOSEVELT MAPS OUT
STUMP TOURS OF WEST
Two Trips Planned to Strategi
cal Points Part of "Speed
ing Up" Program
NEty YOIUC, Sept It. Theodore Itoose
velt and "WlUtam" R. Wlllcoi, chairman of
the Bspublloan national, committee, took
down the political map together last night
and ran their pencils through a line of
cities out In the Mlddli West and Paclflo
slop country. One of the penciled lines
ended at 8an Francisco. The other stopped
far short qt the Itockles. The Colonel
VllI .follow one of these courses soon,
peechmaklng for Charles B. Hughes prob
ably the shorter one. But If Chairman
Willcox desires he will go to the coast,
although he has no desire to travel so far.
The Roosevelt punch, effectively landed
at four or five strategical points through
out the country, would aid the Republican
cause materially. So now the task remains
to plot those Vital places In a Held of at
least twenty cities clamoring for the
Colonel's Inspiration.
Republican campaign managers are
clearly mindful of what the Colonel did In
Maine. They are certain his Lewlston
speech worked wonders In that State, and
there 1 no qutttlon that Roosevelt's fire
and enthusiasm out In the West would pro
due similar results.
8ns of the two trips In mind for Colonel
Roosevelt Includes speeches at Chicago,
J3enver and San Francisco. The other has
not been worked out, but It would take In
tour or Bv cities In the Middle West.
The Cojpnel will not consider a stumping
campaign from the tall end of a train.
When ha goes It will be on a regular train,
and the speeches will be distinct, well pre-
pared., typically Rooseveltlan cannonades,
Ilka the speeches he made In that country
before the Chicago convention last June.
iL T Willcox-Roosevelt conference at the
Century Clutf was on of the palpable
signs of speeding up the campaign on th
basis ef results in Main.

BUSINESS MEN NEED DRESS CENSOR
NOWADAYS TO KEEP GIRLS MODEST
Bell Telephone Company Starts It and Other Big Corpora
tions Pall in Line Young Women MuBt Exercise
Discretion in Making Themselves Attractive
Business men ot Philadelphia are organis
ing a rebellion against coquetry ot costume
during hours of employment
They say that powdered noses, elaborate
ly puffed hair, ehoulder-ehowlng shlrtwslsts,
abbreviated skirts and tebra-strlped stock
ing are not helpful to trnctlon of busi
ness In a big office.
One of th first big corporation to speak
Its mind I the Dell Telephone Company,
which employ mor than 14(0 young
women
"W objuot to our girl coming to work
with their noses powdered and their cheek
painted th color of, fresh rose," said an
official or tM company today, "Th
practice of painting end powdering, not to
fientlon the wearing of knee-length skirts
ad abbreviated shirtwaists, has come to
be a HOurce of much concern to this com
pany, and we hae deeldtd to stamp out the
practice muth ai possible.
"If ws see one 6f our employes coming
to work doited up like a chorus girl, she
Is either sent home or requested to Wash
her face. We have eent a good many
home.
"I wonder what the telephon girls of
five years ago would y er they to come
back nnd see their successors. For many
years the telephone operator ws compelled
to wear a black shirtwaist and skirt ex
cept during the hot summer months. It
looks to m as though we will have to In
troduce the old style again.
"But we have a woman now who em
ploys our girls and I am sure few. If
any, will hereafter be accepted It they
show any weakness along the line of deco
rating themselves. This woman Is a keen
Judge of character. You may know how
strict she Is regarding the type of girls lo
employ when I tell you' that out of more
than four hundred Interviewed last week
only twenty-four were accepted
The head of a large addressing company
was Just as emphatic In declaring that he
desired no girls In his employ who rouge
their checks, pencil their eyebrows and
paint their lips. "We have no objection to
our young women employes making them
rehea attractive as possible, but they must
do so within reason during business hours
They must not com to the office clad as
though they were going to a dance," he ald.
"Some dress their hair as though for a ball,
and this In business hour The girls can't
work well dressed up that way. Neither
can men In the same office. The men can
only gase at the girls. Ilesult, no work."

sult of keeping this country at peace.

swords with poor deluded .Mexico hava al
ready ended In distinct failure,"
