FOREIGN NEWS,

Another step in the plan to moor
the New World alongside the Old"
has been taken at Paris by the opening
Of the great French wireless station
at Saint-Assise. This is described as
the biggest wireless station in the
world, and 1t has capacity, it's build
ers say, of 100000 words a day. Mes
sages have already been sent at the
rate Of 80 words minute with perfect
clearness, and when the equipment is
completed it will be possible to send
five or six messages simultaneously,
with total output of 600 words a min
ute. This station is 35 times as power
full as the Eiffel Tower station.
During the last year in Japan nine
aviators were killed and 25 wounded
in 39,371 flights, the gross mileage of
which was S12,960. These statistics
were issued by the aviation depart
ment of the war office, and include
naval, military and civilian flyers, in
reply to complaints that accidents had
been frequent of late. These acci-
dents, it was explained, were due to
adverse atmospheric conditions above
the central districts of the country dur.

OLD-sTYLE TRIMMINGS ;,AcK
Fine Soutaching, Braids, Buttons and
Belts Again in Favor for
MiIadys Wear.

In trimmings, a marked revival of
interest in the old-fashioned passe-
menterie motifs stands out as the
chief note to signal. Fine soutaching
and an extensive use of fiat braids
in plain and in fancy weaves is noted.
Fancy metal braids, and metal run
or metal bead braids figure among
the novelties.
Buttons are used chiefly as orna-
ments. They are very large, in bril-
liant colOrs and are elaborately
carved. Many lacQuered buttons
ornamented with gilt figures in Chi
nese designs are shown.
Braid buttons, fabric covered en-
broidered buttons and small, cut jet
and steel buttons, are the chief types
used for jackets.
Large, ornamental plaques In carved
composition or in steel are used on
tailored dresses.
Belts are used much less this season
than during the preceding season.
Steel beaded leather belts appear as
the chief novelties. The general trend
Is for belts which are simple and
nconspicuous.-Dry Goods Economist

The smart little cape for autumn

much in evidence with the one-piece

There will be an armhole and a long

HOrnbill, IAN a cousin bird to my
neighbor Ground Hornbill.
MY back is certainly very long.
Yes, look at it all you want to-I do
not mind, in the least. While you are
staring at my long beak and head, l
can stare at the people with their
small noses and mouths, such small
ones as they have.
"The Mrs. Concave-Casqued Horn

is it the custom of the Malayan Horn

"And they have black feathers and
pale yellow beaks."

said the next bird neighbor in the zoo.
I'm from Guiana. I have a fine

1T is so gay and so beautiful an

me anywhere.
II often open my mouth as though
l were going to say something wise,
and l don't say anything at all.
II hope that people will think I'm
wise by my doing this. You know
how some can look wise, and as though
they were going to say something

they never do.

StraiQht Hem Line.

Many Of the skirts show a return to
the straight hemline. One Poiret
gown, however, makes a neat compro-
mise between the even and uneven
hem. A dress, Of citron crepe marc
cain, has a round, gathered skirt
which ends In ten sharply pointed
scallops. Since each of these seal
lops is the same length as the rest, a
delightful unevenness Is attained.

PRESIDENT TO

BILL At ONCE
House and Senate Con-
ferees Meet To Make
Report
WILL REPORT SOON
Harding to Have Bill Saturday-May
PigeOnhOle it and Allow Passage
Without His Signature.
(By TnIfeh PreHa.l

Washington, Sept 4.-House and
senate conferees on the soldier bonus
bill met today, hoping to agree on a
report to be made to both houses no
later than Wednesday.
Unless unexpected opposition devel-
ops, to the program, Senator Nc
Cumber, chairman of the Committee
hopes to get final action not later
than Friday
The bill, its supporters hoped to-
day, would be in President Harding's
hands by Saturday at the latest.
Hardingf's attitude on the bill re-
maired an enigma. The measures
supporters claimed to know that Hard
ing would out veto it while its oppO-
nents were equally certain he would
decline to approve it in its present
form. Harding might simply pigeon
hole the bill for ten days, permitting
it to become law without his signature,
some members of congress believed.
