Another effort will be made
early today to release the bodies
believed to be imprisoned in the
compartments Of the Young. Heavy
seas yesterday frustrated all eft
forts of the rescuers to gain g
vantage point about the hull. Sal
wage officials indicated today that
| the task is extremely difficult and
hazardous, because of the manner IL
which the Young is resting.
All seven deStrcyers are still or
the rocks pounding to pieces. About
thirty miles from the wreck is the
steamer p Cuba, which grounded
Saturday. wedged between rocks on
this strip Of treacherous coast line,

wreckage. Her passengers and
! crew were saved.
The Delphy was cut in two abaft
the torpedo deck. while the Young

OF the f1otilla are promiscuouSly
strewn nearby, just about zoo yards
from the shore.
THE courage and discipline OF
American sailors must be given
credit for the fact that but twenty
three men lost their lives in the
wreck instead Of 400" said Captain
e. H. Watson. commander of the
destroyer FIotilla.
Captain Lands Sailors.
ITO command such men is a
pleasure and to share danger with
them is an honor" is the tribute
paid by Captain Watson for the
splendid discipline Of the men under
! stress.
Speaking Of the wreck Captain
Watson said:
1--WE had been in battle formation
but as night came on and the fog
| thickened, we fell into single
column at about 20 knots an hour
The sea was very heavy and the
fog SO dense. IT was impossible to
see the bow OF the Delphy. When
we struck there was no time to give
a warning. We did. however. blow
a danger blast, and then came the

The official probe Is expected tc
be held at the scene OF the wreck

Blistered and quilted effects are be-
coming increasingly popular and many
wonderful novelties Of this character
have been launched. These are not
ably in metal as well as In metal and
silk combinations. Many Of the silks
are shot with metal and then blistered

chiffon velvet, particularly in high
color tones. for evening dresses and

often combined with metal In the
makeup of evening dresses and

striped gauze is another novelty-nar-

on dark gauze backgrounds, giving In
the stripe pattern n combination OF

IeweIry That Grandmother Wore
Has Been Revived.
Stones, Necklaces, Pendants, Paisley
Bags Are Brought Into Prom
inence Once More.

Period costumes have brought a re-
vival of old-fashioned jewelry, asserts
a writer. in the New York Tribune.
The stones that our grandmothers
wore, set in bright gold, have once
more become popular in exact copies
of the old settings. Red stones such
as garnets are embodied in necklaces
showing old-fashioned flower effects
and tiny gold leaves. These little
necklaces are really what their name
indicates-a circlet for the neck, fit
ting closely about the throat.
Then there are the long, somewhat
ponderous pendants worn on tiny gold
chains which are identical with the
old-fashioned pendants. There Is
also the garnet bracelet set in a hoop
of cleaning gold.
Several seasons have passed since
our grandmothers' Paisley shawls
have been revived, but, despite that
fact. new uses are being found for
these old-time garments every day.
The modern I'M finds much that
is extremely attractive in these old
time shawls. Just now they are being
used more than ever for handbags.
So great is the demand for bags
made from Paisley shawls that manu-
facturers are securing the country in
an endeavor to buy up old shawls and
are paying exorbitant prices for them.
These Paisley bags are being made
in the form of envelopes. They are
quite large, almost like portfolios,
and are carried under the arm.
One of the most successful period
dresses is a most supple quality of
black velvet and royal purple crepe
of that heavy but soft quality which
comes direct from China. The sleeves
are pure Italian Renaissance with
their tightly shocked puff fullness

Clients who want suburban real
estate should buy at once. " declares
a prominent realtor.
"A big change is coming about in
the real estate market. During the
past decade or more people have
been crowding to the cities. Now,
however, a reverse movement to
the country is beginning, which
promises to be the greatest shift
ing in population since the institu-
ton Of the railroad. Within the
next. ten or more years the building
of Suburban homes should rival the
growth of the automobile, good
roads, the movies, the Photographs
or radio.
"In fact, these inventions make
possible the suburban movement. A
few years ago country homes were
limited to the rich or to those en-
ployed in the country. because only
suck people could afford means of
TRANSPORTATION. Now automobiles
have come within reach of the
great middle class Of people. They
are increasing at the rate Of more
than 100000 a year. =
"Ten years ago there were 1000
600 passenger automobiles in the
United States, Today there are,
about 10000 900, which, is an aver
age Of one car to about every ten,
people. They are building new and
better roads and opening up mil
lions of acres of hitherto inaccessible
land. The more cars purchased the
have suburban homes, even though
the breadwinner must work in the
city. sWage earnePs during the last
period Of prosperity spent their
money for motor cars; in the next
period of prosperity they will buy
country homes. +
1.-THE motion picture has put the
local town hall on a par with the
city theater. The motor truck is
giving the rural or suburban
dweller nearly the same freight and
express facilities as has the city.
Motor bus lines are covering routes
which never could be served by
trolley cars. Automobiles are bring
ing the schoolhouse and, the village
to within a few minutes OF the

carrying to every community the
same efficient merchandising as the
city dweller enjoys. Last but not
least, radio, especially If developed
on General Squire's wired basis,
gives to suburban homes the finest
city lectures and music.
1.-THE reason for suburban expan-
