STRIPED TIES TO
 CHANGE APPEARANCE
Tat Men Will Look More Lean if They Wear Them, Psychologists Say in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh, Nov. 4.-Can man by wearing striped ties detract one cubit from his advoidupois? Is the prob lem of the fat man solved psycholog- ically by wearing striped cravats?
 Frank Alvah Parsons, head of the New York School of Fine and Ap- piled Arts, maintains that striped ties for fat men have a psychological as well as physical background. and that they are artistic as well. MT. Parsons himself is stout and says he wears a striped tie to draw attention from this fact.
 Pittsburgh artists and costume de- signers are in accord with Mir. Par sons and 1t may be expected to see an epidemic of striped ties among Pittsburgh's fat men.
 Mrs. Lillian G. Henius, president of the Cordova Art club, and member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh, when asked her opinion. said:
 Striped ties! l thought you said striped tights The only thing can see that could help would be to wear a cubist tie. The cubist forms lead away from the circumference to the extent that you might forget how fat and round he was"

 Straight across the bottoms of Cal ifornia and Arizona they swerved northeastward across New Mexico and the Texas panhandle, bisected the Oklahoma panhandle and had dipped about 15o miles into Kansas when they last were reported at Pratt. The Rock Islands mileage from San Diego to Pratt Is approximately 1,50O miles and as the crow flies is some- thing like 1,100 miles
 Early today at Scott field, Belle vile, Ill.,, several army officers went up in an airplane to greet the trans continental fliers, but descended after a time when they found no trace of the T-2.
 After Macready and Kelly passed Pratt the next word from them was expected from Eldon, Mo-, near the center of the state, but when no re- port was forthcoming and the T-2 was not sighted from Scott field. of- ficers at the latter place said they be- lieved the ship had been missed by watchers and was continuing east.
