was said the administration is deter
mined not only to drive such concerns
from California. but by giving the wild

Backs Up Commissioned.
Attorney General Webb declared that
he was ready TO back up Insurance
Commissioner Wolf in his proceedings
against such insurance companies as
do not treat their policy holders in a
manner he considers equitable.
Under the law of California" he
said, the state insurance commission
er can summarily revoke the license of
any insurance company for the state
when there is cause. Certainly the
payment of only IS per cent of losses
would be cause. And not only would
it be proof of unsoundness and unfit
ness to do business, but it would be the
plainest evidence of dishonesty
Many Serve Notice.
SiXty-one companies practically have
served notice on their policy holders
here that they must accept % per cent
of the face of their policies or go to
court for adjustment. claiming that the
damage by earthquake entities the un-
derwriters TO a discount. This brings
the insurance controversy to a critical
point, and within the next few days
will settle the fate of some of the
companies.

SIEEVED TENNIS SKIRTS CORRECT NOW

collar for tennis one can be distress
ingly burned.
The lingerie bodices this year are fas-
cinating to a degree. Handwork OF the
finest sort is employed. and the French
blouses are made entirely by hand
There are many new designs. Of course.
and of this the simplest models ara
often the prettiest. Sleeves are trimmed
with embroidery and lace insertions to
coincide with the rest OF the waist, and
the backs are also trimmed, although
not always so elaborateIy as the front
of the bodice. The handsomest waists
have the tbree-quarter sleeve. that is,
the cum comes just below the elbow,
although many women stil prefer to
carry the lace and tucks down TO the
wrist.
Separate lawn and lace cuffs can be
bought which can be added to almost
any waist If the desired model can
not be found with long sleeves The
little muff effect formed by n straight
band of embroidery or lace between two
full lace edged ruchings makes a pref
ty cuff. and one that is popular on al
the French waists. Below this cum
long, narrow lace or tucked lawn cun
can very well be added.
For mourning black china or habutai
silk is much cooler than black linen or
lawn. Still IN summer a simple white
dlmity or lawn waist is thought correct.
but there must be no lace or embrOid-
cry save when lighter mourning is be-
ing worn. With n travelling costume OF
mohair or cloth a china silk waist worn
over a low fitted lining of black silk
or lawn is altogether the coolest waist
prOcurable.
