Much of the loneliness is traceable
to the fabrics. Satins are used, to be
sure, and taffetas also, but the fabrics
in greatest favor are filmy weaves of
silk tissues such as yoiles, tulles,
crepes, marquisettes and the like.
Laces enter into the composition of
dressy blouses. The radium variety
is still much liked, and in addition to
that one finds reproduction of antique
filet, venise, and many of the chantily
patterns Frequently two or more
laces are combined to elaborate the
basic fabric of Georgette crepe or of
marquisette. .-.
In analyzing the new style features
the greatest interest centers on the
sleeve. The fashion arbiters have
concentrated attention on novel shout
der lines, greater width from elbow

cuff shapes. :... 49,. -.
The kimono shoulder has been rein
stated after an absence of something
like four seasons. Although the shout
der cut in one with the body of the

usually tapers off to follow the com
tour of the arm. There are, OF course,
exceptions TO this rule.

Dutch Colonial Authorities Asked to

ROTTERDAM, April 29.-Thc Nicuwe
striking articles dealing WITH recent
japanese uttcrances concerning tho
Importance to Japan OF Sunda Strait,
which separates tho Dutch East Indian
Islands OF Java and Sumatra Tho
strait is regarded by the Japanese pub
licist. Yusaburo Takekosni. as key
to the defense of the Ear East. and
his comment on the Importance of this
position has been the cause OF some
anxiety in the Netherlands.
The Courant urges the Dutch CO.
lonial authorities to proceed at once
to fortify the Sunda Strait. and do
away with the uneasiness that a weak
neighbor lying at the mercy of strong
power must inspire in Japan"
The paper continues: lar from
adopting an attitude of anxious and
tmid nd-offishness In regard to
Japan. let us do our best to improve
and extend our relations with that
country

friendship for its pupil. Dutch East

selves arc proud. which they regard
as their own country. and in defense
OF which they will be found ready to
shed their blood. Meanwhile. Holland
has to sec to It that II is not disturbed
In this work by foreign intervention"
Dealing finally with the organlza-
tion OF Dutch India's means of de-
fcnding itself a3 being the most urgent
Of all colonial questions. the Courant
proceeds: THE Sunda Strait. the en-
trance to the Indian seas, as IT Is
termed by Japanese writer's, lies there,
In this time of violation OF inter-
national law, at the mercy OF the first
power which, spurninE morality. might
consider II in its interest to seize this
so highly important passage. Tho Inn
potence to prevent this must. indeed,

threat. and the possibility ought to be
rcckoncd with that in order to do
away with this. IT might itself ven

ltsh a naval base there, as Yusaburo
Takekoshi proposes.
Ut is true that, so long as the war
lasts. it's special relationship to tho
allies will presumably Keep it from
taking this step. But ut the time of
the great alterations that will be
brought about in the territorial dis
tribution Of the globe at the conciu-
sion of peace to assure to the world

urgent Importance that, when peace is
concluded, the Netherlands East Indies
should be able to declare that il is In

Sunda Strait. If Japan sees that its
interests are no longer threatened by
our weakness. IL it realizes the stuff

the disappointment in the circles of
South Sea expansionists-the relation
ship between tho two lands will be
established on firm and excellent

Some Startling Things That
Statistics Prove

To carry the fascinating statistics
still further, it may be added that three
fourths of a minute is consumed by tie
average telephone girl in answering
such a call, with the result that $500
hours of the telephone company's time
were consumed each day of last week
telling New York what time it was. OF
course, the efficiency experts realized
that the most Industrious telephone girl
couldn't work $500 hours a day, so
they figured that slightly more than
400 girls-something like three-eighths
of girl more-spent their time telling
what time it was. Which means that il
costs the company something like 800
a day in salaries to give away the time.
Statistics prove it, sir.
But that is only part of the financial
outlay. When 1t was learned that the
telephone user simply would not depend

ing of many similar calls-some Of
which the subscribers themselves failed
to interpret accurately.
Since there are no records on this
point, it might be Of interest to learn
whether apartment houses in New York
are becoming clockless with the growth
of telephone-time service, whether jew.
ellers are complaining Of fewer sales Of
clocks and whether the growth of the
"what-time-is-it" query is likely TO be-
come more rapid because Of these
causes.
Judging from the impressive figures
now in the hands of telephone company
statisticians, it is easy to see that the
majority of telephone calls in the near
future will have only to do with the
time of day. In a few years, in fact, it
may be necessary for telephone SUBJ
scribers to transact all of their business

radio, while their phone is used exclu.
