CONVENTIONAL DRESS
FAILS IN ENGLAND
Younger Men Refuse to Wear Top
Hats, Spats and Morn
ing Attire.

LONDON, August 27.-English tai
Iors and fashion makers are in despair
about the future.
Only middle-aged or elderly men
wear top hats, spats and formal morn
ing attire at the race tracks. Young
sters go in any sort of business
suit, or even in golf attire. Many OF
the young men go bareheaded.
This is a shock to the lawmakers
and tailors who have specialized for
centuries in fitting gentlemen and
would-be gentlemen out with proper
attire for the Ascot and Goodwood.
The generation which served in the
Great War and the youngsters who
have grown up since the war refuse
to accept prewar traditions. They
dash about in small motor cars.
dressed so shabbily that their elders
shudder when they see them on the
dance floor. Hotels and inns cannot
bar patrons any longer because they
are not formally dressed. At tea and
at dinner the floors are filled with
young men in plus fours and golf
shoes and young women in equally
informal attire.

WOMAN IS FRIEND
TOSTATE ANGLERS
Dr.. Moore Aids Fish Culture
in New York and Says
Sport Is Best.


ALBANY, n. Y. August 27.-Many
an angler thinks that women are peo-
pie who like to keep fishermen from
their faVorite form of recreation.
But DR.. Emmeline Moore is friend
of fishermen. Furthermore, she can
outfish almost any angler and knows
more about the habitats, the habits
and the flavor of fish than most men.
DR.. Moore is an expert ichthyologist
and is an investigator in fish culture
for the New York State Conservation
Department. Her interest in fish does
rot end with the laboratory. She puts
on wadcrs and ploughs through
streams and sWamps with her as
sistants as they wrest from nature the
secrets of the water folk.
DR., Moore likes to lay aside official
dignity occasionally and so fishing
for the fun Of it,
ITS the best sport there is" she
says, but l can't find much time for
it."
She has solved many problems. and
incidentally saved many trout for
fishermen. A few years ago she dis
covered an organism that was playing
havoc in trout hatcheries. The disease
was checked.
