fashion correspondent, American wom-

with an eagerness that indicates they
care for the Partisan touch when they
can afford it. A strong Spanish infiu-
ehce is felt among the gowns created
by the French designers. Martial ct
Armand show q gown called "Con-
suela' which is distinctly Spanish in
Character, evidenced particularly by
the f~estoons of black lace which hang
from the skirt. Another gown at this
house has a corsage made of an eX-
treIneiy wide ribbon draped and
fastened at one side In a large chou.
And still another of the evening gowns
made by these designers has an UNI
derskirt of gray silk lace covered with
a shorter skirt and topped by a
corsage of rose taffeta. There is a
sort of guimpe of the gray lace that
can be worn under the corsage of
taffeta and by this means a dinner
gown Is transformed into one that can
be worn for formal afternoon occa-

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 24.-Twenty-
five persons were killed when a series Of
explosions wrecked the Colyar Reese
Company's plant here at 40 o'clock, po-
lice estimate.
The Colyar- Reese plant was known 10
caIlv as the Sinclair Oil Company be-
cause until recently it was the exclusive
agent for the Sinclair Oil Company here
The majority of those killed in the
plant are believed to be negroes.
In one house a mother and five chill
dren were reported TO have been killed.
Fearing that houses within a halfmile
radius Of the plant would be wiped out
should more tanks explode. police were
going over that section Of North Memphis
warning residents immeditely to get as
far from the scene as possible.
The explosions were caused by a spark
from the chisel of a man who was work
ing on a tank containing $4,000 gallons
of gasoline, which first blew up. No trace
has been found OF the man and 1t is
believed he was blown to pieces.
Firemen said it was almost certain
that four more tanks would explode.
Twenty four men, four Of them whites,
were due to be working at the plant
when the ,ank exploded. The only hope
given for any OF them Is that some may

FAVORS
LINCOLN ROAD
Insists State Can Afford
Highway to Grave of
Martyrs Mother.

Taking issue with L. H Wright. di-
rector Of the State highway commission,
in his statement that the State could not
afford to construct a road leading to the
Spencer County burial place OF Nancy
Hanks Lincoln, mother OF Abraham Lin
clon, Governor Warren T. Mctray today
declared Indiana should construct the
road regardless Of the cost
II feel that the State Of Indiana owes
It not only to the Nation, but to the
memory Of Abraham Lincoln and to his
wonderful mother to construct this road
leading to her final resting place" said
the Governor. ~
ANY State that is fortunate in having
In its soil the remains OF this woman
should have a road leading To and giving
access to the park where her grave is 10
Gated. We owe il 10 the nation to pro
vide q road leading TO Lincoln Park"
Construction OF the road was asked
some time ago By residents OF Lincoln
City, Spencer County, but was opposed
by Mr. Wright. because he said he cost
would be too great.
This was the Governors first statement
regarding the proposed road and was
made. he said, in answer to the statement
OF Mr.. Wright.

WEIGH MARKET
PLANS TONIGHT
Boards and COuncilmen to
Hold Conference on Re-
modelling Project.

Remodeling Of the city market build
inzs will be discussed by the board OF
public safety. the board OF public works
and the city council at a conference In
the council chamber tonight. Mayor
Charles W Jewett announced some time
ago that modernization and sanitation
Of the market are one OF the important
projects he hopes his administra tiOn will
complete in its last year.
Tka administration has been talking
about rebuilding or remodeling the mar
ket houses for more than two years. Fol-
lowing agitation by the Woman's De-
psrtment Club in 1919 the board Of
safety appointed committee. with Stan
ley Wyckofr as chairman, which investi-
gated needs at the market. The report
included drawings and specifications for
a new building, which the committee said
was necessary II the full value of the
market was TO be realized.
Practically none Of the important sug-
gestions Of this committee has ever been
carried out.
On several occasions members of the
board of safety said they thought at
least S125. 600 should be spent on the mar
ket. Some members of the council imme-
diately expressed opposition, insisting
that the market could be put in good
shape for from S25.0O0 to $4,000
The board Of safety is expected again
to recommend that approximately S125,-
600 be spent and that the work include
only the rehabilitation of the Interior of
tSe Tomlinson Hall and East Market sec
tens. This would include a new plumb
ing system, sanitary floor and provisions
for raising stands so the floor could be
cleaned with fire hose
Before the conference the council will
hold special meeting, called to consider
the ordinance ratifying the contract be-
tween the board of public works and the
Losey-Nssh Company for the purchase
Of two Titan tractor trucks to be used
In the city ash hauling department.
Indications were that the contract
would be ratified without delay. The
trucks will cost $9,SsO.
