learned that dancing was more or less
taboo in Japan and there was little
occasion for them. She has found
that afternoon and street dresses are
the most popular.
When asked how the japanese
woman differed in tastes from the Eu-
ropean woman customer, Nine.
Morvan replied:
They are very much the same.
They all want French style, but after
the dress is made the Japanese woman
raises more objections. She finds the
colors too bright or the style too elab-
crate.
Just a few years ago a Japanese
woman after marriage was supposed
to wear only the dark. drab colors.
The gay dresses were associated with
the geisha and street women. But
they are loosening up; every season
we. notice here a greater demand for
bright colors. short sleeves and short
skirts. Large, brighter designs are
employed and more daring Innings are
peeping out"

DR.. AIexanderson made the pre-
diction yesterday upon. his return
from st. Louis, where he outlined
the possibilities Of television before
the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers
THE two fundamental obstacles
that once made people say television
was impossible already have been
removed" he said. THE discovery
of the short wave gave us potential
speed enough for transmission. The
devising of a television protector
using seven light sources increases
the useful illumination 49 times and
provides all the light necessary for
the Screen.i'
Three Steps Necessary. =. -
DIR. AIenanderson said that in
Iabora tory. tests pictures have been
sent in 10 seconds, but that teleyision
will require the transmission, fre
ception and reproduction of pic
ture in one sixteenth of a second.
Three steps must be accomplished
before television can be developed to
the point OF a public utility, he said.
The first, he explained, is the broad
casting of pictures. which he de-
clared to he almost at hand: the Sec
Ond is the transmission of facsimiles
of messages and letters, and the third
OF radio transmission of motion
pictures. I'm.
The brohdcasting of pictures has
already been accomplished in labora-
tory tests he said, alHl now only
needs perfecting of a method of re-
ception. Likewise, he said, the send
ing of facsimile messages has been
accomplished, but more speed in the
process is necessary before it<.can
become practicable.
After that" he said, must come
the development of speed enough to
send a motion picture film. from any
part of the world. News reels of
the events of the day may then,fbe
shown everywhere the day they
happen. -. -. &

to New Ranch. =

ALPINE, Tex, December 1S.-A
chaparejos adorned member of Con
gress, cowboy from head to foot, soon
Is to duplicate scene common in
Texas so years ago. m
Claude b. Hudspeth, of Ell Paso, has
bought a f,500-acre rancEamong the
mountains of southeast Texas. Dur
ing December he expects te trail
1000 head of registered cattle from
his range near Del Rio, Tex, on the
Mexican border. to the new ranch in
Brewster County. a distance of $50
miles. i
The moving of these cattle over.
land, across mountains and over the
unmarked plains of southeast, Texas,
is looked upon as a feat which only
the oldftime cattlemen could accom-.
plish. a-.s,,,
Representative Hudspeth, himself
cowboy. who came to this Western
country with a printing press strap
ped on his saddle horn, will be- one OF
the cowboys in charge of the herd.
It win be impossible to travel the
highways on account of automobiles,
and rail transportation is out of the
question, because the ranch is re-
mote from any railroad.
One of the greatest obstacles viii be
fording rivers. The largest stream
they will have to cross is the Pecos.
Cowboys, cattle and horses will have
to swim this river, just as the GOV.
ered-wagon pioneers did it.
Not since the seventies, when cattle
were driven by the thousands over
well marked trails to railroad termi
nails in Kansas, and to the Pacific
coast, has there been such a scene in
real life as the Texas Representative
is undertaking.
Much Of the route win be through
mountain canyons, where the cow.
boys must camp for days, far from
civilization; while the herd creeps for.
ward few miles a day.
Hudspeth started in east Texas
as printers devil. When 16, feeling
the call Of the West. he mounted a
pony and rode to Ozona in West

 Bad flying weather yesterday kept all contestants except Captain Fer rarini from practicing in the air. On a trial spin he was caught in rain squall in which rain fell in such a. torrent that these on shore could not see farther than 100 yards.
 Captain Ferrarina, hero of the Tokyo flight, was some dis tance off shore and was obscured from view. Fear was expressed in the Italian hangar that a landing could not be made in the double handicap of rain and wind, but when the rain ceased, as suddenly as It had begun. the little red monoplane was seen flying safely about 300 yards off shore, the landing was per feet and the plane was not injured by the storm.
