Flaring Silhouette
Has aris Opponents
BY HAZEL REAVIS

ASSOCIATED Press Fashion Editor)
PARIS, H9 - 1t is getting palmer
every day that there are to be two
kinds of clothes this winter; straight
line and flaring. Some want one and
some want the other and Paris is
prepared to satisfy all comers and let
some one else worry about the official
silhouette.
DreSSmakers who put their whole
heart and winter collection into the
flared- d-silhouette revival are discover
ing that it has no appeal to that por-
tion of their clientele which has never
been able to attain the lead-pencil
form and keep it.
These ladies-and they are often
rich-insist upon straight, lengthening
lines. They want their waistlines sew
eral inches lower than nature in
tended and they do not wish their
hips brought out of obscurity. For
them many house is adding last
minute models to the winter collec-
ton. Tt is significant that most of
these models are straight and frlIness
is more concealed than inserted in
them.
It is the young, 1.-the and hipless
women who are whole-heartedly adopt
ing the princess. line, the high-belted
waists and flaring skirts. The young
thing wraps a flaring coat around her
once and a half again and manages
to accentuate her, ,slenderness and curves
at the same time. Her evening dresses
may be yards around the hem, where
as her mothers dresses look mere
yard and half She is the person
who wears the daring winter models
which almost touch the floor behind
and swoop upward in front until they
barely cover the knee. The women
who can risk it are reveling in the
Paris permits them after
seasons of uniformity.
For the others Paris is designing
good looking clothes that are not par
ticularly different from those of last
season except in fabric and minute de-
tails.

Variety Of Scenery
Is Ideal for Parks

WASHINGTON, lP-The expansion
of motor touring in recent years has
seen a corresponding development in
the idea of the state park and what
it should provide.
State parks and S0reSCS range in
size from a few square rods to the
1,850,0OO acres Of the Adirondack park
of New York, which is larger than
any national park except Yellowstone
and which administers an additional
recreational area of privately owned
bringing its total to 100000
acres. The range in equipment of
these centerS does not always vary
widely, but considering the relative
neWnesS of the idea behind them, the
parks differ to considerable extent.
New facilities which prove advan-
tageous when tried out in one place
have a tendency to spread, so that it
is not difficult to visualize the ideal
park. Primarily, says the national
conference on state parks, it is a
region embracing states most mag
nificent ''unimproved" scenery, ano
should, wherever practicable, include
mountains, plains, valleys, forests,
lakes and streams, with their native
plant, bird and animal life. Historic
sites, when preserved as parks, fire.
quently contain similar characteristics
"a state park should be suitable in
extent and natural features for such
forms of recreation as camping, fish
ing, bathing, and other outdoor
SPORTS" the conference asserts. I'll
should be developed to it's fullest use
A modest hotel, harmonizing with its
surroundings should provide accom-
mediation for visitors. Permanent
camps and overnight camps should be
available for daily use. Horseback
and foot trails should be a feature Of
it's development. Nature can be stu
died at first hand and opportunities
for outdoor education should be de-
veloped.
'"The ideal state park not only gives
sanctuary to the human family-lt
demands that some of the primitive
American land be left forever in its
original state, undisturbed and un-
marred by raan-madeI improve
mentS'"

ILLITERATE.S RESENT POSITION
AS OUTCASTS, EDUCATOR FINDS
BY WILLIE LAWSON
County Supt. Mississippi county,
ArkanSaSl

ArkanSaS)
One Of society's social outcasts, to-
day, is the native illiterate.
Social life in America ranges from
the community sing" in the country
to the bridge club in town and in
neither of these can he feel at home.
In many places the social life centers
around the school and he has nothing
in common with schools.
Where docs the native illiterate live?
You say, SIN the south" You are
only partially correct. We, in the
south, do not deny that large por-
ton of his family lives with us. But
he is as innumerable as the stars and
as migratory as the robins. Today he
lives not only in the south, but in
every state in the union.
Our problem. is how to reach those
native illiterateS who live in states
not offering them anything in the way
of educational opportunity. Also, the
entire country faces the problem Of
finding the illiterate SO he can be
trained.
The National Education association,
upon recommendation of its depart
ment of adult education, recently pass
ed a resolution calling upon the secre-
tary of commerce to secure in the
1880 census more useful information
as to the extent of ability to read
English in the United States.
The sensitiveness of the native
illiterate is far more of hindrance
than one would imagine. Alike in
color, alike in dress, alike in language
he resentS the fact that because OF
one great difference he stands apart
from the crowd. Probably the great
est remedy for this difference is
course of study which definitely ac-
complishes three things.
1t must establish close contact be-
tween him and all city, county, state
and federal agencies.
1t must give to the adult in theory
and practice high standards OF health.
thrift, recreation and citizenship.
Lastly, this course of study should
grade his work so that he may pass
from grade to grade and see definite
pieces of work done, and specific sub
jects mastered.

DRAPING -MODISH ON
NEW VELVET TOOUES

PARIS, R9-7Small toques of velvet
which fit the head closely are import
ant in the latest millinery showings.
The same small head silhouette is
maintained by most of the milliners,
but there is a lot of material used in
the making of the new toques.
The secret is the employment of
very soft velvet which is SWathed and
draped so carefully that it is impossi-
bile to realize until hat is made be-
fore ones eyes, that there are several
yards of velvet involved. Milliners,
like dressmakers, are directing their
clients attention to more feminine
and less stereotyped styles.

in the winter modes. Several i'm

ing satin slippers with the most dis,

The slippers are usually plain satin,

HYPHENATED CLOCKS

Clock buyers of Canada are par
ticularly choosy as to the source of
their time keepers, preferring the
German chime clock because OF its
tone, but favoring .American-made
clocks because the wooden cases bet
ter withstand the Canadian climate,
which causes wood to crack and
veneer to peel. Some importers meet
this situation by importing the works
from Germany and the cases from
the United States.
