Petitions to the city council were placed In circula- ton protesting against Clark's order and asking that 1t be lifted.
 The football men adopted reso- lution agreeing temporarily" to the ban.

SIMPLE CONTROL
 OF RADIO SETS
Changes Show Evolution in.
 Reception Of Waves"

Chicago, Oct. s O1 - From null tiplicity to simplicity and from one tube to a dozen, is the incongruous situation that has accompanied the development of the modern radio receiver.
 The numerous controls thought necessary in an earlier day have given way largely to one tuning device, while the elaboration need ed to produce this ease of opera tion has been moved to the unseen recesses back of the panel. There from five to eight or more tubes, with their increasing collection Of electrical and mechanical appara- tus, have sprung up to overshadow greatly the lonely tube of the re- cent past.
 One Hand Now Enough
 Formerly 1t was not unusual to see the radio owner attempting to use two hands where a dozen were needed to adjust the many con- trols. Even the crystal set was not thought complete unless there were at least six adjustments be- fore listening could be accomplish ed. Now in most cases one hand is given a rest while the other per forms the simple task of selecting the station desired
 Evolution of the receiver got un- der way with the popularity of the one-tube set They became so nu- merous that the manufacturer of tubes was hard pressed to supply

Some of the later models even attempt to disguise the fact that they are radio receivers. and only a small knob protrudes on the front, with a window close by to show the adjustment made. Other types have stopped at two controls.

propriateness that we have had to
find some way to distinguish between
clothes that are really designed and
intended for sports and those that
simply follow the trend of sports
clothes. Semi-sports is the rather
inane compound that we have agreed
upon to use to describe the more nu-
merous class of apparel.
Suzanne Lenglen is given credit
fairly or not--for having ushered in
the new era in sports clothes for
women in France. A thorough French
woman, she possesses true clothes
sense. A person Of Independent judg-
ment and the courage of her convic-
ton, she was not content with mere
precedent in the matter of choosing
her tennis clothes. Probably through
her as much as any one else French.
women began to realize that they
might participate in outdoor sports
without having to wear the type of
rather ungainly sports clothes that
they associated with "le sport" And
having found that sports clothes pos
SeSSed much of SmartneSs. Wearable
ness and youthfulness, they were glad
to wear them for other occasions.

One wonders. as the number of wom-
en- who wear sports clothes for all oc-
casiOns increases. whether their con-
nection with actual sports won't be
lost sight of entirely. One has to he
reminded occasionally of the original
purpose of the sweater. Overfastid
ious ladies refused to use the vulgar
word at all when the fashion for those
convenient garments first became gen
eral. twenty-five years ago golf capes
and golf skirts were worn by thou
sands of women who had never had
a golf club in their hands and never
expected to. So the idea of borrow
ing clothes from the wardrobe of the
sportsman or sportswoman is not eX
aCtly a new one.
But there is something new about
the sports clothes themselves--or new
at least so far as the present era is
concerned. One imagines that the
sports clothes worn by the Spartan
girls. when they ran races with their
brothers in public contests, were as
light and supple as the clothes worn

And now sports clothes have been
made SO attractive and Wearable that
women choose to wear them whether
they are actual sportswomen or not.
The sports frock must be straight
and simple and slender-Slender in
effect even when stout woman wears
it. 1t must be easy to put on and de-
void of any very fragile sort of trim
ming. Lace-save for Il very little of
the Irish Variety-is hardly suitable
If wooden, the material may be tweed
wool jersey, kasha. flannel. cashmere
or similar materials. OF sillicn mate
rails crepe satin and other crepes are
most usual. For Summer or South
ern resort wear there are innumer-
able cotton and linen materials. and
cotton velveteen is useful all the wear
round. Leather plays an important
part in sports clothes-especially this
year.

women's fashions.
Patou was Il pioneer in this matter
OF making sports wear. and he was,
L think, the first of the well known
French dressmakers who installed 4
special sports department in his es-
adjustment. Patou, one imagines,
feels little personal regret that
sports clothes exact such an infiu-
ence as they do. He confesses him
self as rather of the old school, and
he is brave enough to say that long
hair is one of women's most striking
charms. But idealism does not in
terfere with Patou's sound business
sense.
Jenny-being woman--llas no
such sentimental regrets concerning
the passing of long hair and the more
feminine fashions. Her clothes have
always been noted for their simplic-
lty and Weara bleneSs-charact

tn HE greatest contribution Of the
present day to the coStumery
of women is the sports frock;
Il no fact of modern life has had
4 more potent influence on the
trend of feminine fashions than this
fact that golf and tennis and other
outdoor sports are now an important
par, in the daily schedule of many
women. Suzanne I.englen and Helen
Wills have more influence on the cut
aud contour of our clothes than the
tradit ional woman of fashion who
spends hours day with her dress
maker and miliner and the rest of her
time in the stereotype sort of lunch
cons. teas, bridges. dinners and
dances. Tho Interesting thing about
il is that While thousands of women
have gone into outdoor sports merely
because they feel that it is the fashion
- do so--Women who would never
have done SO 20 or 30 years ago-hun-
dredS Of thousands of women who, for
lack Of time or inclination, do not give
n minutes time to actual sports,
eagerly wear sports clothes.
Sports clothes may now be worn
for practically every occasion in the
day. Even evening clothes show the
effect of the sports trend in fashion.
