of the antitrust laws for any in

known at the White House today.
The Presidents attitude was indi-
Gated in response to inquiry as to
whether the chemical industry had
asked for legislation to revise the
law as applied to its activities.
The president is of the opinion
that the oil industry might better
make such request, because of the
need for oil conservation. The
White House made clear, however,
that its assistance need not be ex-
pected until every other method of
oil conservation has been tried.

might have precipitated clash.
While Negley was at lunch,
Holmes worked his way into the in
ner office. Fred w. Council, Ira Hay
maker and Robert F. Miller, board
of safety members, were holding the
fort.
Swap Pleasantries
They exchanged pleasantries
about the report that Holmes had
planned contempt of court action
against Negley.
'Why, those letters of yours to
lis looked like contempt of court to
me-" Connell said.
"What? Would you regard those
very courteous letters asking for
your designations as contempt" re-
piled Holmes. why, any citizen has
a right to ask you to resign"
Miller and Haymaker started to
leave.
"Better not leave Fred in here
alone" said Holmes. II might throw
him out"
The others answered.: "That's all
right. You're welcome in here any
time"
, Negley appeared at the mayors
office Sunday morning and remained
until late in the afternoon. He was
in conference much of the time with
his "city controller" Frank Cones,

teachers. These had been prepared,
but carried Mrs. John Duvalls sig

in the quo warranto suit brought
in Circuit Court last week by Joseph
Hogue, city controller under the late

would have continued as mayor and
since his death, the Shank city con-
troller should step in. Hogue had
that Office.

changed greetings and said he was
awaiting the outcome of the Su-
perior Court action.

date for mayor in 1925, who said he
refused to engage into any scheme
to get the office, and William G.

SPORT DRESSES INSIST
ON REING TWO-PIECFc


PARIS, March 26 P)-Paris offers
four rules for successful sport
costumes this spring.
Number one says that the two
piece dress is best in nine cases
out of ten. Paris takes it for
granted this season that sport dresses
should be cut with separate blouse
and skirt
The blouse is usually made in
jumper or sweater style, fitted
snugly at the hips and worn fairly
long with good-looking belt suitable
to the costume but not necessarily
of the same material.
Rule three DEGREES light shades,
preferably grays, green, beige or
/ pale pastel tints, in light weight
kasha, jersey, wool crepe or crepe
de chine Wool blouses are often
combined with crepe de chine skirts.
The rule of straight slender lines
unbroken by pleats or gathers on
the sides or in the back, is the fourth.

Paris Designing
Easter F Fashions
For " S. arade

PARIS, March 26 (R)-Other cities
have fashion parades on Easter
Sunday. Paris has one all the year
round. Ca c'est Paris
The city which makes the styles
that the American towns wear on
Easter morning takes little or no
notice of Easter as a dress parade
event. An Easter hat is not dis
bursement to be reckoned with in
the budget of the French family.
If Easter Sunday is fine, the usual
wen dressed prnmenaders are on view
in the Bois' and the Avenue du Bois
de Boulogne or the Avenue des
Champs Elysees. But Paris leaves
the Easter promenade to the
provinces.
A popular creation, however, is
a satin and felt hat in checllered
effect, which reflects many of the
Paris ideas for spring without ex-
aggerating any of them. The small
brim, high back and square crown
are typical.
There is no church parade such
as New York sees on Fifth avenue
between IL and O'CLOCK, ana winch
has it's counterpart in most cities
of the United States. Easter does
not mark the sartorial equinox in
France. The chic French woman puts
on her spring clothes when the
weather moves her.
If January is balmy and a preco-
cious spring is indicated. t h {
straw hats and spring colors come out
early. This year women wore spring
clothes to the opening races at
Auteuil in February. But there We're
fur coats above them and hats Were
shower proof felts. AS late as April
first straw hats were more or less
subjects of comment in Paris.
Further SOUTH of course, spring
clothes are seen everywhere. The
French woman's first criterion of chic
is suitability.
Paris milliners view with tolerant
amusement the mid-winter scramble
of American buyers for spring models
for the Easter millinery trade in the
United States. Special early creations
are always available for this clientele
for their patronage is an important
item on the Paris milliners balance
sheet. But the designers long age
gave up trying to understand why
American women had to have spring
hats by easter or be socially ostra.
