squad must be more clever.
Dismantled saloons here have

each barricade has a peephole,

the police as "bird cage" The
peephole is big enough to pass

PARIS, March 2S.-One Of the
outstanding features Of the new

white combinations. Black will
never die as long as there is q
Parisienne in the capital. She knows
she looks we'll in black and the
couturiers had all they could do to
introduce q few bright colors last
season.
This season the designers have
gone back to black, for their clients
demand It. hut they are making 1t
more chic than ever by adding
touches Of white.
Black satin is in the lead and
is especially attractive for three.
piece suits.
Satin Coats Striped.
A white satin coat Ii striped dis

worn with a short black satin skirt.

almost call a yoke, except for the
black band that tops it and the
whole topped off by white fox
collar.

motifs.
Another is very striking, made of
different widths of black satin with
most original cuff designs. It has
only a touch of white at the neck
and sash passing low around the
hips and tying in the hack.
White Leaves ON Black.
Georgette makes an attractive
three piece black costume with col

fur and is worn with a long tunic

contention Of the companies is that
their actions complained of are based
on their disposition of patents
granted by the Government itself
which is a different basis for action
than those which usually come
within the scope Of the commission.
Rights to Patents.
They recognize, they say, that the
exercise of patent rights is amen.
able to law, but their apparent con-
tention is that the Federal Trade
Commission is not the body to es-
tablish the limits under the law.
The defendants named in the &C.
ton are the General Electric Com
pany. the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company, the Western
