New spring dresses, even new spring
suits, are showing bolero jackets.
The dress sketched presents the
bolero effect in front, with a back
merely bloused. A wide vest of heavy
brocaded or tapestry stuff shows in
front and under the jackets edges.
The sleeve, narrowed from elbow 10
wrist, is also new, and the collar. once
known as the Robespierre, hasn't
been seen in 10! these many years.
Fashions may pass, but they always
came back. There never is a really
new style.

Seven Senator'S Swat
Surcharges On
Sleepers

Railroad surcharges that adj
ditional fare asked for Pullman
accommodations seem to be.
one of the pet diversions of the
United States Senate.
At least seven Senator'S think
so, for there were that many
bills before the Senate today
proposing an act Of Congress
to prohibit all excess" and
extra fares" This was said
to set q new legislative record
for the number Of bills concern
ing q single subject. The meas
ures were sponsored by Sena-
tors Lodge (Rep.) Of Massa-
chusetts, Gooding (Rep.) Of
Idaho, Edge (Rep.) Of New
Jersey, Mcclellan (Dem.) of
Tennessee, Bursurn (Rep.) Of
New Mexico, Moses (Rep.) of
New Hampshire and Capper
(Rep.) of Kansas.
Senators travel all the
time, Capper explained, "and
that is why they are opposed to
extra fares"

GOLF BALLS

United States Golf Association
takes steps to change the official
golf ball. The new one will have
the same minimum diameter as at
present. But the weight (ncw
1852 ounces) will be reduced TO
1852 ounces. No definite decision
has yet been reached, but the asso-
citation is experimenting and has
communicated its intention to the
Royal and Ancient Golf Club com
mittee in England.
This is news of extreme I'M
portance-if you are one among the

ing with the official golf ball OF
