PARIS.
Nov that summer is well under
way the smart Parisienne is
getting out her picture hat to pro-
tect her from Old Soils rays. The
races Of course, have hal much
to do with their appearance. Wide
brins are almost inevitable with
the picturesque race. frocks.
The broad.brimmed hat, with a
bow as it's only trimming, is being
shown at Marthe Regnier's, while
the picture hat from lie Monier's
shows that the felt hat can still
have some fascinating new things
done 20 1t in the way of originally
turned brims and indented crowns.
No so very long ago to decide
to get a new hat meant deciding
upon a felt one. But the wide
straw hat, with dropping brim,
promises to be quite as popular
for summer months. The silk hat
is also a YER" popular offering
for the moment. It has several
good points, being soft and light,
easy to pack and apparently the
natural accompaniment of light
summer dresses. The high-crowned
variety, with a small upturned
brim, seems to be the most pre-
vailing fashion. sometimes 1T

or the narrower kind, woven in
basket or fancy weave, or pieced
in squares and diamonds. Some
times it is of crepe, stitched in
conventional or geometrical de-
sign. Applique, in contrasting
colors, is a smart trimming, and
some shops are showing a painted
design, in contrasting cOlors, that
is quite new and effective For
the most part. however, trimming
is almost negligible, bits and
strips of the felt doing all That
is necessary to vary the shapes.
On straw hats with dropping brims
there are often fruits and flowers.

The veteran head of the United States
Steel Corporation said the eliXir's
simple components were prescribed
for him by the dietitian and staff Of
the Gary Hospital Of the steel copora-
ton at Birmingham. Ala. during his
recent tour of inspection.
Moderate exercise, plenty of air and
pure water, plenty of sleep, equanimi-
ty of temperament and hard mental
and physical work over not too long
a period-these were the first ele-
ments of Mr.. Gary's prescriptions.
Little meat, little starch or fat or
sweets. plenty of green vegetables
containing mineral salts, some whole
wheat bread, fresh fruits and no al
coholic stimulants were the general
dietary rules.
Mr.. Gary said he would take
another specific training course in the

I've followed the principle that un-

LABOR|TE CENSURE
VOTE SEEMS LOST
Debate in Commons Fore.
4. most Incident of Impor-
{ tant Industrial Week.
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, June 29.-This prom
3ses to be a week Of important in
dustrial incidents, all more or less di-
rectly influenced by the trade depres-
sion and consequent unemployment.
The foremost is today'S debate in
the House Of Commons upon the La
borite vote of censure seeking to put
the House on record as declaring lack
of confidence In the government,
(which. after a lengthy period of in
dustrial depression and confronted by
an alarming growth in the numbers
of unemployed. has failed to take
measures to deal with a situation of
unprecedented gravity"
1t is not expected that the Laborites
will get far with their motion. 1t is
recalled that the Conservatives them
selves, about a year ago, moved in
the Commons to reduce the salary Of
the minister of labor because Premier
MacDonald's government. they de-
clared, lacked a policy in dealing
with unemployment.
Liberals Avert Defeat.
The Liberals at that time came to
the aid of the Laborites. and averted
their defeat. Premier Baldwin's gov
ernment Will be saved today by its
big ma jority in the House.
The Daily Telegraph cites figures
purporting to show that the number
of unemployed during the last six
weeks of MacDonald's Laborite gov
ernment was nearly Identical with
the average for the six weeks ending
June last.
The Labor1tes are convinced that
the present government cannot sue
ceed in reducing unemployment. A.
B. Swales, chairman of the trade
union congress council, voicing his
conviction in a speech on Saturday,
added:
But unless something is done by
next Winter, we shall see a rising of
the people. Let us be ready to back
them"
