PITTSBURGH. Pa. October 22.-
Leaders of western Pennsylvania

for the United States Senate are in
possession of facts indicating that
Republican hopes of victory are far
less real than pretended. The facts
seem to disclose. on the contrary, a
state of alarm in the G. O. P. high
command. They reveal that Vares
hackers apparently consider his de-
feat so dangerous a possibility that
arrangements are in progress to avert
it at all costs.
To that end, orders have gone out
that no chances are to be taken. Ware
managers in western Pennsylvania
have their tongues in their cheeks
when they whoop it up for the Phila

that it's all over but the shouting.
They talk about electing Ware by
perhaps the biggest majority
United States Senator ever received
in Pennsylvania. That is what they
are saying.
What they are privately thinking
is something entirely different. 1t

are genuinely anxious over the dimen
sions of the silent protest vote piling
up against Ware on the slush fund
issue.

Distinctive Points
Feature Paris Modes

Each of the Paris collections of fall
and winter styles exhibited has GER
tain peculiar characteristics, knowl-
name at once the designer from whom
the garment originates, notes a Paris
fashion writer in the New York Times.
For instance, the usual straight-line
coat that forms the basis for most
coat fashions this season becomes dis
tinctively Worth coat when an in
verted plat for additional width CEN
tiers the back from low waist to hem.
IL constant example could force the
modern freed woman back into long
skirts and princess gowns, then Poiret
would manage to do so, for these
gowns are the feature Of his collec-
ton. A princess gown in black vel
vet, fitted with many cores running
smoothly from shoulder to fiared skirt
edge, has no other decoration than a
large pagOda-shaped Chinese lantern
embroidered on the side front in gold
and red. A long tassel Of gold hangs
from the bottom of the lantern nearly
to the skirt hem.
Poiret uses the military braid, SO
popular in the new collections, much
more lavishly then any other designer.
He prefers gold-and-silver braid rather
than black and applies it in heavy
scroll designs on many of his Gre
atiOns.
Jenny likes military braid In black
and has been very successful with II

Ensemble Favored
by Paris Makers
French Designers Still Are
Faithful to Idea of
Costume Unity.

The ensemble comes into its own
with the crisp, cool days, when wrap
becomes necessary part Of every cos
tune, writes a Paris fashion CORE
spondent in the New York Times. The
ensemble idea seems to grow, rather
than fade. in popularity as the sea-
sons roll by. Paris may make differ
ent stipulations as to the relations be-
tween the component parts of the en-
semble, but she remains faithful to the
costume whose every part Is definitely
tiled" to the complete effect, whether
by color combinations or contrast, by
cut or by material.
Many of the very clever ensembles
shown by Patou feature the three
color costume" limited at some months
ago as one of the surprises for fall.
As he develops it, the coat Is Of one
shade Of color chosen for the ensem-
BILE and is lined with a slightly light
er shade, while the gown is lighter still.
A lovely and youthful ensemble on
this order, as charming as the bride
for whom it was intended, is kasha
of that pale lavender called orchid,
lined in paler crepe de chine with
the plated gown under it still paler,
an iris shade. A fuIl-length tuxedo
collar of natural lynx added to the
radiant freshness Of the costume.
Another new version of the ensem-
BILE created this season is that in
which the coat lining and the gown
have honors even, dividing the two
colors Of the ensemble between them
An instance of this treatment Is seen
at Worth's-a black broadcloth coat
with great collar and cuffs of fox,
lined from hem to hip I'm rose-beige
crepe de chine and from the hip up
with black crepe.
The gown accompanying the coat
exactly reverses this color arrange
ment, having the skirt of black
broadcloth made in straight flounces,
three-tiered, and the attached waist
in the rose-beige crepe de chine. The
waist has long, fairly tight sleeves, a
little turnover collar and a fetching
square tab like pocket flap. en-
brOidered in black silk, just above
the middle beltline. 1t is worthy OF
note that the waist and skirt In this
ensemble, though of different ma
terials and colors. are made in one
piece; the two-piece jumper frock Is
seen now more often among the sport
ensembles.
Black Innings are having a vogue
just now. Considered from the
beauty standpoint. they are very eff
fective. Lelong has made stunning
ensemble in black velvet lined with
black crepe satin over a black crepe
satin gown, though he relieves the
somberness Of so much black, first by
q luxurious collar and deep cuffs
Of gray fox, then by band Of silver
lame down the side fronts Of the lin
ing; and. finally, by silver embroidery
on the gown above the swathed belts:
reaching almost up under the right
arm. Lelong retains the simplicity Of
his full skirt and loose waist silhou-
cite, but achieves this simplicity by a
most intricate cut this season, Of
which the wrapped belt just men
toned is sample.

BIGGEST MOMENT OF MY
BIGGEST FIGHT
By Tiger Flowers

philadelphia Public Ledger
One would think that the biggest
moment of my fstic life must have
come when | won the middleweight
championship from Harry Greb in
Madison Square Garden. 1t really
was not, though. That big moment
flashed the first time | fought Greb in
Fremont. Ohio, August q, 1924.
1t was ten-round, no decision bout,
and was training to make the middle
weight limit, despite the fact that the
only way could win the title under
those conditions was knockout Mr..
Walk Miller, my manager, informed
me that ! must come in over the limit
of the class.
Tiger" he said to me, 81 want you
to win this fight, but not by too much
Of margin. The big thing is to get
bout to a decision, with the cham
pionship at stake, and if you 60 too
far ahead tonight we'll never get it,"
l could see this point, and it was
well taken. But wasn't sure would
be able to win by great margin, even
if wanted to, for Mr.. Greb was one
of the fstic marveis Of the game, and
had lost only two or three decisions in
some 800 fights.
1t was in the second round that my
big moment came-a moment that I'll
never forget as long as l live We were
mixing it up in a lively way when
shifted, and shot a right under the
heart
Mr. Greb tumbled into clinch, and
said. Take it easy, boy, take it easy"
I knew that l had hurt him. What
ever doubts | had entertained about
beating the marvellous Harry Greb
vanished. | felt in my heart that if /
could get fight to a decision with
him l would be the next worlds mid
dleweight champion. l did not only
feel it. At that instant I was sure of
it as though the victory were already
mine.
1t wasn't that | underestimate Mr..
Greb, it was simply that / had found
myself, and that is an experience that
comes only once in a-lifetime. 1t was
flash of keenest joy; of certainty of
my abilities; of the feeling that the
reward Of my years Of struggle and OBJ
security had come at last | breathed a
little prayer of thanks under my
breath, and then went on fighting.
1t was a year and half later that
my reward really came-when Joe
HUMPHREYS lifted my right hand, and
shouted to the crowd, THE Winner
and New Champion" but it was an
anticlimax to that moment of glory in
the little Ohio town.

Horizontal Bands Are
Liked for Sport Wear

There is no doubt about Ii. The
horizontal striped sweater Is social
climber and one that has remark
able success in it's chosen aspiration.
For autumn there are number Of
two-piece dance frocks which have
been inspired by the horizontal bands
of sport attire. These are executed
usually In gold or silver tissue and
their corsages are ornamented with
colored beads or paiIlettes in striped
effect. One model even goes so far
as to finish off with the knotted hand
kerchief about the throat, heretofore
associated with sports wear.
