fox, wolf, belly squirrel and rae
coon.
One brown and tan plaided fabric

coats. 1t is particularly lovely in the
wine reds, deep nut brown tones and
the grayish green's SO much In favor.
Many Of the new novelty weaves
have a rough, heavy aspect-with
knotted or nubbed surface-these
are especially well adapted to use in
sports coats.
There are also canvas weaves--
some in a tapestry effect that Is very
striking. There are fabrics that have
their inspiration in the primitive
weaves of north Africa. They have
an irregular texture and are woven
in wide bands of different colors-
in an effect of hand weaving.
Reps. too, are smart, and they, too,
have this irregular surface, caused
by the threads of different sizes.
Ribbed woolens with big velvety ribs
are stunning for tailored coats-par-

Queer Barterinq Methods

At Temenhint, in northern Africa,
the inhabitants have a curious mode
of barter, says 1.-The Market for Ex-
change" The person who has any
goods to sell mentions what he
wishes in exchange for certain COM
modities, whether oil, liquid, butter.
or "shahm," which latter is a kind
of sailed fat, much resembling bad
tallow in taste and smell.
If liquids. he pours water into =
pot, in proportion to the quantity OF
oil or butter he requires; If solids,
he brings stone of the size of the
"shahm," or other article demanded.
The buyer pours out water, or sends
for smaller stones, until he thinks a
fair equivalent is offered.

Wars may rage, emperors may
lose their thrones, the whole world
may be turned topsy turvey, but, the
seasonal changes in feminine ap-
parel like the tides of the ocean
must go on forever.
The cold tingle of the fall days
checks our summer laxness, and the
first thing brought to our mind is
the need of new clothes. 1t is most
natural thing to start first with
dresses. For street and afternoon
wear, there are the tailored and
simply trimmed dresses of light
weight cloth. MORE, and satin. They
are made in coat effects, bfoused
back, straightline and a few f1ared
bottom models. They are trimmed
with crepe or satin collars and cuffs,
plain or metal braiding. soutache
embroidery, and narrow metal belts.

part that they did during the spring

SCIENTIST TO SPEAK
ON TREES HISTORY
Distribution of Plants in Asia and
America Indicate Prehis-
toric Union.

The story that the trees tell of the
prehistoric migration routes between
Asia and North America will be de-
scribed by DR.. Ralph w. CLANCY, re-
search associate in paleobotany of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington
in a lecture in the institutions ad-
ministration building, Sixteenth and p
streets, at $50 o'clock tomorrow eve
ming. The lecture will be Illustrated
and will be free to the public.
The similarity between the living
flora Of eastern North America and
eastern Asia has long attracted seri-
Gus attention. More recently evidence
has been obtained indicating a re
lines between forests of the Pacific
Coast region and those of eastern
Asia.
In the course of recent field work
in northern China and Mongolia, this
resemblance has been accentuated by
the finding of fossil fora which are
closely related to those of the late
geological formations of western
North America. Certain of the fos-
sill species no longer have generic
representatives in Asia, but their
modern equivalents are present in the
living forests of our Pacific Coast
Similarly a number OF the fossil
species of western North America
have their closest living relatives in
eastern Asia.
DIR. CLANCY will show, by explana-
ton and by pictures. how these facts
as to the past distribution of modern
forest types are Of especial interest
in view of their indications of the
former migration routes between Asia
and North America and their sugges.
ton of similar ancient climates in ad-
jacent portions of these continents.
Distribution of the redwood tree will
be used as a typical illustration.

NEW YORK. May 24.-A demand
for the dismissal of Fire Commits
sioner John J. Dorman for the alleged
broadcasting of an anti-Senitit joke
from the municipal radio station at
the Firemen's Holy Name Society
communion breakfast yesterday was
made by 200 Jewish Veterans of the
Wars of the Republic. A telegram
to that effect was sent to Mayor
Walker at the close Of the annual
memorial service of the organization,
where the joke was discussed.
The joke concerned two children
of a. certain Mr.. Cohen who were
playing on the street with matches
and were told by Mr.. Cohen, Don't
play with matches out there, come
into the house."
Morris j. Mendelsohn, commander.
in-chief Of the veterans characterized
the joke as "a serious aspersion on
the Jew by a servant of the city,"
and Col. Maurice Simmons, past COM

foul and vicious aspersion, leaving
