Not Likely to Run Away

Professional Wall Street, while hope
full of the future of the stock market,
is still indisposed to shift to the con-
structive side. The opinion is held
that there will be further slashing OF
corporation dividends before the air
clears and while such developments are
happening it will be difficult to restore
confidence and stimulate buying. "Oo
not make a mistake" laid a promi-
nent brol-er yesterday, "that the adverse
matters which broke the market have
disappeared overnight. They are still
with us. Stocks bought on the break
will be for sale. The market cannot
run away.''

vide a centralized foreign exchange

ter Of foreign exchange dealings to n

Certificate Issue Oversubscribed

Subscriptions to the combined offer
ing of the two issues Of 534 and 6
per cent United States Treasury
certificates of Indebtedness were
closed yesterday. Preliminary reports
received by the Treasury authorities
from the twelve Federal Reserve Banks
indicate that the offering Of approx
mately $5OO,OOO,0oO has been largely
oversubscribed. Banks in the New
York Federal Reserve district are
understood to have been allotted ap-
proximately SITS, 100000 Of the total
issue, while total applications received
in this district were in excess of
$500 100000.

General Asphalt

The explanation offered for the sud-
den outburst Of strength in General
Asphalt common yesterday was that
some curb brokers had gone short of
the stock while trading was still con-
fined to the Broad Street market, and
were having considerable difficulty in
covering their sales. From low Of
34A the price moved up to 43, with
the last sale at at 4oSs, net advance Of
was strong, jumping ~ points to 7s.
General Asphalt was admitted to trad

Europe's Salvation

Europe's economic salvation depends
to large extent upon the development
or measures in this country for sup
plying the Continent with credits + !,

meeting other requirements, James F.
Shaw, of Knauth, Nachod & Kuhne.
said yesterday on his return from the
ether side. Germany, with the excep-
ton of Belgium" said Mr.. Shaw, ZAP
rears to be making the greatest prog
less toward industrial recovery. Just
year ago l visited Europe and at that
time Germany particularly appeared to
ne IN the position of an individual who
had lost all his money and had suffered
physical breakdown. Germany now
appears to be rapidly convalescing and
IS prepared to recoup its fortunes. 1t
is idle to expect Europe to return to
normal basis unless Germany is given
similar opportunity. There is no talk
IN Germany Of national bankruptcy.
nat country is looking for peace end
work and the important men in Ger
many are looking to the new Admins
tration at Washington to bring about
ar early settlement of the peace ques-
tion. The latter involves the fixing of
the war indemnity so that Germany
Will know what she has to pay. The
size OF this indemnity is of less i'm
rcrtance than immediate and definite
assurance OF what the amount will be. y

Turkish Trousers Much Exaggerated.
Boomers are receiving quite as
much of the designers attention this
year as the suits themselves. varia-
tons of the Turkish trousers, much ex-
aggerated In many cases appear be-
meath short bathing dresses. Indica-
tons are that the skirt may be aban-
doned altogether The suit described
Is an instance of the boomers being
allowed to show. The skirt Is merely
a series of loose hanging loops of silk.
In other suits the skirt consists only
the suit, both back and front. Full
Turkish boomers are trimmed at the
sides In the same way. A round white
cap like n chefs headdress completes
the costume.
Towelings and rubberized ginghams
are modest and suitable as well as
fashionable for trimmings. The I'm
ported Turkish toweling that looks like
soft cotton plush is used In beautiful
colorings. The rubberized ginghams
are in small checks and palids. An in
teresting use of white toweling ap-
pears on brown taffeta dress of
chemIse style. with kimono sleeves.
The toweling Is folded in points to
form rows down the entire length Of
the suit, both back and front.
The woman who loves to swim Just
for the pure JOY OF exercise will not
fail to include in her summer ward
robe one or two of the one-piece jersey
swimming suits. These have grown IN
popularity each year. They haye be.
come almost standard fashion in
bathing suits, so that there is little
change In them except In the ways Of
combining colors. Contradictory to
the suits of silk and satin which. as
already noted. are In the darker shades
this year. nre the jersey suits. which
are rather vivid In color and deco
rated with gay stripes Of contrasting

a in the most brilliant clothes ever
seen on the beaches, and the seashore
was one spot where bright apparel did
not appear out Of place.
Reaction. Toward Simpler Things.
This year, however. sees change
In bathing suits. The pinnacle of ex-
travagance In fashion appears to have
teen reached. fer the time being. at
least, and there Is q tendency % turn
toward simpler things. The beach
clothes faithfully mirror the demand
for something simp er in our dress.
Many of them are exact copies of sim
pie little French frocks.
A turning to The darker colors Is
noted. Black, which was almost
crowded out o; the list of bathing
things last year. now enjoys first place.
Its absence from the front line ranks
was only temporary. This mag be due
IN a measure to the fact that people
found bright colors unsatisfactory
when dipped In the salt water every
day or exposed to the bright sun. and
are quite ready to come back to the
practical black satin and taffeta suit.
The vogue for brown is quite as
marked in bathing suits as in other
clothes. We never have thought of
brown as an attractive color for
bathing suits: I'm fact. II was unusu-
nj to see 1t on the beach. Probably
because the color has been so much
in the limelight, designers have worked
out some of their prettiest models In
It. Certainly there is much to be said
IN its favor In comparison with the
gold colored and bright blue satins
covered with batik work of .ast year.
We may have quite as much latitude
in the lines OF our bathing suits as in
those Of our frocks. We still have the
straight chemIse model, which Is al
ways good. New this year and fol-
lowing the low waistline dresses Is the
bathing suit with long waist portion
and full skirt.

the waistline to the hem of the skirt.
while those of simpler construction
merely have the bottom of the skirt
cut In petal form. The loop drapery
also has found Its way into these
clothes. and, Of course, the sash Is one
of the most prominent features.
Among the more elaborate suits not
intended for actual swimming-just
who wears them nobody seems TO
Know. but the fact remains that they
are to be found In the shops-are
black velvet bodices attached to skirts
of taffeta having plated rufiies I'm

attached TO accordion plated skirts
belong TO this type. A beach costume

There is bathing suit strongly re-
sembling dress brought out by Worth
earlier in the season. The similarity
lies in the skirt, which has panels
formed by loops of wide ribbon. Black
taffeta Is chosen for 1t. The under
dress consists of Turkish boomers
attached to waist. while the skirt Is
simply loop panels Of taffeta fastened
TO sash.
