1t is most important to bear in
mind, in connection with the question
of your new evening shoes. that the
color of the dress must be closely APP
proximated In the slipper-the smart
est and most modish ensemble touch
Of the season joins evening dress and
shoes in an identity Of color.
It Is evident that the most popular
type of shoe for the country club viii
be the white suede slipper trimmed
with lizard
just as In the other branches Of cos
tune, the most important theme Of
the new shoes is the trimming there
of. And the distinguishing note Of
this detail is the size Of the ornamen-

pressed in large motifs

are the most important or the shoe ac-
cessories. They are made from nu-
merous materials are steel,
either plain or studded with rhine
stones, some bronze, others enamel
and some few are developed in the
finest OF feathers. The tendency is
away from the steels and toward the
more striking effects such an brilliants
studded with cclored stones. In addi-
ton to the conventional square, oval
and round buckles there are novel
wing motifs, butterflies, circlets, cres-
cents and snakes.
The jeweled heel Is the dernier cri
Of the evening mode. The heel itself
is more conservative and much more
subdued than Ia the Immediately pre-
ceding seasons, but this comparative
severity liz more than compensated for
BY the garish brillianee of the studded
jewels. These stand out on dull back
grounds IN vivid sparklings OF red,
green and blue.

Report Grassloppers Along Fence
Rows Waiting For Crops to Come I'D.

Entomologists of the state and fed
eral governments, located in South
west Texas, predict that grasshoppers
will probably return this season to
attack the fields and grass. Charles
III. Alvord, agricultural secretary of
the San Antonio Chamber of Com
merce, stated Thursday morning that
information received from the extern
sion department of A. & NJ. College
predicts that the same plague of grass
hoppers that last year threatened 10
exterminate a large percentage of the
grass and vegetables. will return this
summer TO resume their work of de-
struction.
Mr.. Alyord stated that field obser-
vations indicate that large brood of
eggs laid last fall will hatch at the
that as it is impossible for the few
government men detailed to watch the
development of the pest, to cover or
report all cases, farmers should be
on the alert for any signs Of the re-
turn of the grasshoppers. Reports
should be made 10 Charles II. Gable,
Box 1917, San Antonio, or 10 X. A.
Reppert, at College Station. First
infeStations will probably occur along
grassy fence rows, Mr.. AlYord said,
and following the recent rains a
brood is expected TO hatch.
Where infestations occur, poisoned
bran mash should be used as a saeans
of control, Mr.. Alvord said, because
il this early brood is allowed to ma
ture and lay eggs, heavy infesta-
ton will take place during the sum
mer months.

ACTORS STRIKE LOOMS
Equity Breaks OFF Negotiations for
Compromise With Producers.

New York. April 17.-Predictions
that an actors strike would be start
ed throughout the country on June 1
were freely made in theatrical circles
today after the statement issued by
the Actors Equity Association that it
had terminated negotiations with he
Producing Managers Association and
had rejected a proposed compromise
agreement. One prominent manager,
who has been a party to the negotia-
tions. declared a theatrical war is I'M
avoidable and that it certainly would
be waged with vigor and bitterness by
both sides.
The Equity Association, according
to the statement, declined the compro-
mise because it Offered no guaran-
tee that the life. the vitality of the
organization, would be maintained
The main point at issue is the in
sistence on the part of the actors that
theatrical casts be recruited in the
main from members of their associa-
ton. If strike is called it will affect
not only the theaters in New York
but also all Equity members who are
with road companies. ..tt
