The WeU-Dressed Man
 By BEAUNASH Correct Clothes To Meet The Obligation Of Every Occasion
Cool on


 Unlike an income tax report, hot weather suits do not allow us to exer- else much ingenuity about figures. Long before the trend of style swung toward the loose-draped effect, summer clothes were cut full ahG free, because tight-fitting suit on scorching day is self-impOsed martyrdom. The cor rect summer suit, no matter of what fabric it be made, hangs straight from the shoulders with only slight shaping at the sides to relieve the too boxy ap- pearance of severely perpendicular lines.
 It was the old-fashioned notion that merely leaving off ones waistcoat made a hot-weather suit. In truth, comfort during the torrid term begins with the very material you wear which must be light and loosely woven so as not to at tract and retain the heat. Then, it must be specially and softly tailored with the minimum Uf haircloth and stiffening to permit unhindered free dom of movement. Finally, it must be one-quarter. one-half or full skeleton lined to reduce precipitation and induce coolness.
 Portrayed in the accompanying sketch is the type of summer suit that not only is cool, but which on account of it's light color, feels cool as we'll. This is all-important. Dark colors, to which so many Americans are partial seem to be much hotter, simply because they look that way. Like Santa Claus, it's all in your mind, but it is a physiologi- cal fact that a man feels as cool as he thinks he looks. That is why white flannels, white linens and white ducks are SO indiyisibly associated with dress for midmost. summe2.

TRIP AUTHORIZED,
 CLAIMS KELLER
Highway Engineer Says Object Was To Secure
 Federal Aid

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July IA (Special.)-W. s. Keller, state high way engineer, stated today that his re- cent trip to New York while the demo- cratic natoinal convention was in ses- sion was undertaken with the approval of the highway commission and in the interest of Alabama and other states, to secure a continuance of. federal aid for the states road building.

Mir. Keller stated that he reached New York on Tuesday and de- parted on Thursday of the same week, leaving before the main business of the convention sessions began and while nominations for president were being made. Approval from the highway commission of. the trip was secured in advance and in his presence the com mission passed a resolution to. pay his expenses.
 While in New York, MT. Keller stat ed, he conferred with number of members of the platform committee and received assurances that the federal aid plank would be offered, which was done, and the plank adopted.
 Mir. Keller's trip was taken. as chair man of committee of the American Association of State Highway Officials, at the request of +. R. White, presi- dent of the association, and state high way engineer of Iowa. Since return ing from the trip, Mir. Keller has re- ceived letter from President White, commenting him upon the success of his efforts. II wish to congratulate you and your associates on the splendid success of your efforts in getting a federal aid plank In the democratic platform" MT. White wrote. q ap- preciate most sincerely your effort in this matter"
