SUPERIOR COURT
WATER DECISION
WILL Be FINAL

Decision Of Judge Frank Lyman in
the Maricopa county superior court in
granting approximately 10000 acres of
so called dry lands permanent water
rights in the Salt River Valley Water
Users association, is to be final. Mem
bers of the board of governors, at an
adjourned meeting yesterday, voted
down a motion to appeal to the state
supreme court, 6 to 4. The original
court action was brought by James
Aldrich and 205 other plaintiffs.

hours of debate, in which the ques.

On the other hand. those opposed
argued that the court had decided the
question; that these lands were being
supplied with water and would con-
tinue to be so supplied, and they asked
that further litigation be dropped.
Those opposing the motion to appeal
to the state supreme court were: Gill

board then took steps to recommend

COOPERATION NEEDED TO BRING
MORE TOURISTS THROUGH PHOENIX

Those familiar with the trend of
motor travel to and from California
and the eastern and middle western
states have seen the rapid increase of
traffic along hte National Old Trails
road between Needles and Springer
vile via Flagstaff during the last few
years. AS that highway route contains
enamel road markers mounted on iron
posts to guide strangers travelling be-
tween Los Angeles and st. Louis. it is
but natural that they are followed by
most of the cross country motorists
even though the routes through Phoe-
nix furnish better constructed high
ways, better service and more attrac-
lions.
Phoenix has enjoyed a constantly in
creased patronage from motor tourists
but it is not as great as 1t should be.
Investigations by the highway depart
ment of the chamber of commerce have
determined that while touring informa-
tion and road maps are available on
all the routes, the necessity for mark
ing them is imperative and steps should
be taken at once to have the sign post
ing system of California extended to
Phoenix on all the roads leading here.
In commenting on the subject, Field
Engineer Harry Locke, compiler of
Good Road Maps of Local and Trans
continental Automobile Routes" who
is a recognized authority on roads and
travel. said: 81 feel positive that all
of the roads leading from Los Angeles
to Phoenix may be sign posted at an
early date If representative organiza-
lions Of Maricora, Yuma and Yavapai
counties will request the Automobile
club of Southern California to place
their system of markers on them. This

PALE coLoRs FOR THE GIRLS
Blue and Pink the Standard combina- tion With Maize and Mauve a
 Favorite Blend.

Pale blue and pink is still the com bination for girls of eighteen; maize and mauve, another happy blend, with accordion-plaited foundations, also finds favor with younger women.
 Silver metal lace allied with pale blue velvet ribbons and a posy of flow CTS are the suggestions for one dainty confection, with long wing sleeves and a many-fiounced skirt. For tall girl there's a dress pretty enough to tempt one to break the tenth commandment.
 Of flesh-colored crepe de chine, the V-shaped neck is edged with net, while the sleeves are of georgette. The skirt is made of plain crepe de chine, three rows of pearl fringe giving the triple-skirt effect rather in favor just now. The piece round the waist is also thickly incrusted with motifs of pearl beads.
 Another frock is of that romance inspiring moonlight blue crepe, and the new trimmings are of pOmpOns called les nenottes. Draped tulle is respon- sible for the sleeves, with scarf-ends held in by a charmeuse belt. On the corsage and top of skirt is a touch of beautiful embroidery. .:

NO EXCUSE FOR UGLY HATS
Advance Headgear Models Show Vari- ety From Which Most Fastidious
 Can Be Suited.

There should be- no excuse for a woman selecting an ugly or unbecom- ing hat this season, judging from the variety of attractive advance models on view. The milliners seem to have taken thought for every feminine type. There are turbans high and low, far ing and narrow, tall-crowned, narrow brimmed hats, low-crowned, broad brimmed hats, models turned up at the front, at the back or at the side, pokes and tricornes, and among them all any woman should be able to find the de- sign that particularly suits her.
 There is a pronounced use of fab rics such as tulle, georgette crepe and satin, and in matter of trimmings feathers have taken on amazing forms, while flowers are often con- ventional to the point of perversity. Fruits, particularly of the extremely natural variety, are among the trim- mings which are looked upon with in- creasing favor, and the more cOnven- tional ornaments of ribbons, wings and ostrich tips are always in the back ground.
 Foliage, wheat-ears in various col- ors, fringe, cords and tassels, em- broidered jet, beaded ornaments, pins and buckles all play their part in the amazing variety of decoration which Is used so sparingly on the individual hat.

SHOULD MATCH CAMISOLE
Newer Type of Blouse Affords Ugly Discrepancy Between Waist and
 Skirt Sections.

Is anything uglier than the trans parent peplum blouse worn with a light camisole or corset cover? It was bad enough with the Oid-time blouse that ended at the belt line, but when the newer type of blouse Is worn thus there is an ugly discrepancy be- tween the waist section and the skirt section of the blouse.
 Of course, where the front and back panel of the blouse are of some heav- fer material the effect is quite satis- factory. But when georgette or chif- fon Is used then one really needs a dark camisole. It is not always easy to buy these, although they are to be had in navy blue, one or two shades of brown, green and the other usual suit shades. But they are not difh- cult to make, and you should have one or two to go with every suit.
 Soft satin of some sort is good se- lection for the fabric, although crepe de chine is also good. They can be finished at the top with machine hem- stitching, such as you can have done at a dressmakers' supply store, and the shoulder straps may either be made of ribbon to match or some of the fabric finished with a narrow hem stitching of the same sort. Needless to say, they should be adjusted so that none of the lighter lingerie appears above the dark camisole.

In Wrapped Effects.

Skirts grow scanter and longer as the season advances. A wrapped eff feet around the ankles is particularly smart, and some of the satin and vel vet afternoon frocks have these grace full, wrapped skirts. the material cling ing about the ankles and falling in soft draperies below the hips. The daintiest sort of footwear is required with wrapped and draped skirt of rich material-stout walking boots would utterly spoil the effect; and winter boots for dress occasions are high of heel and light of sole; dancing boots they might well be called though they trip over the pavements even on indictment days. The tailored hack about suit usually accompanies stur. dier footwear of dark tan calf with sensible heels. ,'

Here Is sprightly dress of wool, which may be made of any of the soft and substantial weaves that hang gracefully. It is cut on the simplest lines, plain as to skirt and waist, with a meagerness of trimmings that amounts to severity, but is popular with young people. It boasts small turnover collar, bordered with nar- row braid and the sleeves are indulged in band of the same braid and four small buttons at the wrist. It will be noticed that the skirt is longer than for some seasons, almost covering the ankles. This Is a characteristic of spring styles in frocks. @ t
 The special pride and glory of this Iunpretentious but smart bit of design ing for youthful wearers, is the apron at the front. This is made of one of those new fabrics that are giving manufacturers of staple goods q bad lquarter-hour. It looks like jersey and might be successfully made of that fla vored fabric, but it is more likely to be tricolette, or a knitted weave of
 some sort. Just straight piece of one of these supple materials is bor- |dered with wide band of georgette at the bottom and outlined with a sim pie braided pattern. A wide girdle of the same material across the back and two narrow bands of folded georgette across the front, with button on the ends of each, complete a decoration

CARE OF VELVET IMPORTANT
Soft Brush Should Be Used In Clean. ing; Olive Oil When Removal l
 ing by Steam.

Velvet has been in high fashion. And velvet shows the dust. Two facts that somehow have to be reconciled to each other.
 The only way to keep velvet look ing we'll is to give 1t careful and con- tinuous attention. To begin with, buy velvet of good quality, and whenever possible get the sort that water will not spot. Even if it is to be used for a house gown, where 1t will never run the risks of raindrops, it may cas- fly be spotted with drop of water from a glass, or with drop that drips from the fingers when they emerge from finger bowl or a wash basin.
 Velvet never should be brushed with a stiff, coarse brush. The pile is cas- fly injured; in fact, the short, soft threads that make it up often can cas- fly be pulled from their foundations with the finger nails, and coarse brush is almost sure to loosen them. A soft velvet brush is the sort to use.
 Even better than a brush is a piece of crepe of crinoline. The rough fab- ric seems to get all the dust from the velvet and clean it's inmost fibers.
 Use a few drops of olive oil rubbed by means of piece of soft flannel over the surface of the steaming cloth. Con- tinue this movement until the cloth is quite dry and the velvet too Is dry. The wrinkles will by this time have disappeared and the velvet will be smooth and fresh.

WING AND BIRD TRIMMINGS
Decorations for Headgear Are Simple and Effective, Adding Attractive
 ness to Hats.

Among the trimmings of utmost sim plicity undoubtedly more effect is gained by the daring sweep of wings or quills than can be achieved in any other manner. A high-crowned, nar- row brown straw hat has small crisp wings smuggling close to the brim, but pointing out at either side. Long, slender wings sweep from the back of a satin and straw toque; two short, flaring wings with fan-shaped edges spring from one side of small, round turban of coarse straw.
 A black bird spreads its wings over a pinched-up baret of red milan, and q small, high-crowned gray straw is topped by little overlapping gray wings laid close on the sides of the crown and softened by burnt ostrich hues.

LACE IS IN VOGUE
Decoration Promises to Be in
 Demand This Spring.
Trimmed Batiste or Lawn FrocEs Necessary to Women.

Are you aware of the fact that we are about to experience a revival of interest in lace?
 Doubtless this has been brought about in part by the men and women whose business interests center in the sale of lace. Moreover, writes core spondent, it is again possible to get laces that were unavailable during the war. The revival of lace will mean that numerous women of Europe will have a means of earning living; that we can help them to help themselves during reconstruction.
 Real laces will be especially in de- mand, and this Is in keeping with the revival of interest in all hand-wrought fabrics and tissues. But we are not going to be content with the old-time mode of applying lace, which was too often stiff and prim.
 Designers are going back to the lav- ish method of the Renaissance, when ecclesiastics combined the most costly of laces with the most gorgeous of em- broideries and silks in the vestments worn on great festivals, and to the great court ladies of those days, who Vied with the great prelates in their lavish use of lace and brilliant fabrics.
 The prediction is made that this spring will see a revival of the sort of lace-trimmed batiste or lawn frocks that we used to regard as indispensa- ble to every woman's wardrobe. If made by hand they require days and days of work, and if by machine actu- ally miles of fine stitching. There are yards and yards, moreover, of lace in- sertion, and sometimes innumerable tucks. The result is a frock that is perennially fresh, for if it is not made to go in the tub, 1t is at least capable of being cleaned repeatedly.
 Colored sheer cotton fabrics are used in the advance models for frocks and blouses, and instead of using white lace on these many of them show valenciennes that has been tinted to match the fabric with which 1t is used.
 Although in most of the new frocks for evening and afternoon wear there is a decided lack of lace or other trim- ming to relieve the severity of the line at the neck, still 1t is said that this spring we will enjoy revival of dainty neck 1aces-neck accessories, frills and jabots and ruffies. They will be worn with suits and day frocks, and will make use of lavish amount of beautiful faces.

COLORS HAVE CALL
Saffron or Marigold Yellow and
 Blue, Popular Shades.
ChiIdren's Garments Full of Life; Bloomers to Match Necessary
 tor the Small Girls.

Vivid colors are predominant in the development of spring and summer dresses for children. A very bright saffron or marigold yellow and an equally bright blue are the two colors that are notably popular, and these are quite often combined in one dress. The sketch shows a dress made of a heavy serviceable cotton material in yellow, with guimpe of blue cotton voile or handkerchief linen. Velvet ribbon in shade to match the guimpe Is run through openings made for the purpose on either side of the front bow at the back. A little embroidered motif in blue on the yellow dress gives an additional trimming touch.
 These two striking colors are used for children of all ages, rompers for a two-year-old being very effectively shown in both blue and yellow, and tiny little first trousers are made of yellow cotton and buttoned securely to frilled blouse of blue handkerchief linen or chambray.
 In making summer clothes for the girl of four to eight years, the sensible mother will see to it that every little dress has at least one, preferably two or three, pairs of bloomers to match. Boomers are preferable to petticoats for the small girl.
 Cotton voile, both in all white and in printed patterns, is material very much in use for children's dresses for the coming summer, and pongee, a
