ficer. underwent successful trials here
Thursday in the the presence of Of
ficers OF the French aerial corps.
Major Julien Felix. army aviator.

gusty wind. considered too strong to
face in an ordinary machine.
The apparatus displayed a degree
OF stability which drew expressions
of amazement from all the experts.
From time to time Major Felix re-
moved his hands from the levers and
held them above his head to show the
automatic equilibrium of the machine,
which retained a perfect level when
it encountered squalls and eddics.

patents was thus settled and, the petit
ton charges, each Of the companies
entering the combination was granted
a license TO manufacture films and
machines and use all the patents.

tered the alliance were:
The American Multiscope and Bio

Fabrics and Styles That Spring Will Bring Women

There is every effort on the part OF
the American designers to introduce for
spring a jacket not longer than twenty
seven inches and which is longer in the
back than in the front. It will have
long sleeves and will button high over
the chest for the spring season. but prob
ably will be lowered as soon as the
warm weather sets in
The skirt which they have approved
and heralded for spring will be as mar
row as il has been for two years, and
II will take on the looseness around
the hips and knees which has distinguish
ed the skirts OF this winter.
AS for materials. Paris says that
satin will be withdrawn for everyday
gowns and suits and that crepe de chine,
both plain and stamped, will be the
favored fabric OF the hour. 1t Is said
in Paris that the mills are working to
capacity producing crepe de chine. and
also china silk, so We will evidently see
a season of these lovely materials which
are not only cool, but easily draped and
durable.

the season and the American copies OF
them. which were made by the wholesale
houses were disposed Of in large num-
bers before the first of December. and
the bulk Of the work since then has
been given over to reduction sales and
gowns made to order. writes Anne Rit-
tenhouse in the New York Times.
As soon as the French models are out
of the way the designers begin to talk
Of what Paris will decide on for spring.
The American wholesale workers have
their meetings and decide on their out
put long before Paris is heard from.
but the trouble with this is that the
fashion world still takes its dictation
