UTILITY and charm iorm d
happy union in some of the
earliest of autumn fashions-the
three-piece suits which get their
inspiration from sports wear but
enter the realm Of smart daytime
apparel.
Three materials stand out as
fitting for the foundation Of these
chic ensembles - velvet, tweed
and camels hair cloth. Velvet
this season, becoming svelte and
enarmingly thin, is the outstand-
ing new contribution to daytime
materials. But tweeds and cameps
hair cloth both are indispensable
20 the smart wardrobe.
Few of the new suits have
skirt, jacket and jumper of one
material. Twice chic is the suit
that harmonizes satin and velvet,
fiat crepe and woolen or even
three fabrics, such as fiat crepe,
camels hair with seamings, belt
and buttons Of suede.
Getting Roomy Effect
There are several points of in
terest in the new suits. The width
of the skirt and the manner
wherein additional room is
achieved is perhaps most notice
able. Kick pleats directly in front
were fashions answer this sum-
mer. This fall she has dozen
much more satisfactory replies.
Box pleats. inverted and on top,
seem a decidedly happy manner OF
getting that needed fullness into
the skirt without spelling the
swathed hip-nnes. Then there is
the circular front and straight
back, side circular inserts, the
draped front and the wrap-arouno
that, by clever cut, sQueezes In
several inches of fare without its
being in the least noticeable.
{ Today are shown two or the
swankiest of little autumn suits
both imported. One is soft green
checked, tweed and matching
green fat crepe are the media
fashion used in creating it.. The
jacket has style all its own in the
Independent way it flares out from
snugly fitted shoulders giving a
loose three-fourths model unusual
character. - esxs-~. ~ sxae s.esssss

cuffs this model, in rather a con-
servative fashion as il the cut of
the coat needed no help whatso-
ever to stamp it as chic. The
jumper of fat crepe takes a fitted
narrow yoke banding for its coll
larless effect with similar banding
cutting it. About six inches Of the
tweed form the hem of the jumper
and snuggle the silk tight to the
hips. A simple tailored buckle
holds the tweed belt.
More Formal
For more formal wear is the
other little suit, of rich, wine-col-
ored velvet with sand satin crepe
of luscious quality. A cute little
black yoke and novel collar and
high jabot effect has this satin
blouse, with the diagonal closing

TO CLEAN DOGS FROM
CANYON AIR FIELD

Ben Foster, junior biologist of the
u. S. biological survey, with summer
headquarters at Ashfork, spent Tues
day here enroute to Grand Canyon.
He went there to devote few days to
cleaning up the prairie dogs on the
commercial landing field under con-
struction there. He will return to
Ashfork where he will remain until
about the middle of next month, un-
less driven out sooner by the weather,
when he will move headquarters to

and fiat tailored tie to add to Its
charm and beauty. The coat is
three-quarters, rather flaring In
its cut, with beige fox forming the
big, comfortable collar.
This skirt frankly sponsors
gathers all the way around. Not
many, but enough to give grace
that only a full velvet skirt can
achieve. Novel and daring is the
striped effect for the bandits sash
and cuffs, the wine velvet cut into
narrow bands and striped with
sand satin. The under loop is Of
the sand satin while the upper one
is the velvet. r.
The ascendancy Of the blouse
this autumn and the insistence OF
all styles on more nodded lines are
two of the most important fea-
lures of new styles.

CEMETERY IS NOT
 AFFECTED BY LAW
Mexican Statutes Do Not In.
 teTiere With Tract

Washington. Feb. II LP-At least one parcel of American-owned land in Mexico is unaffected by the dis pute between the United States and the Gales government over applica- ton of it's alien property laws. By tacit agreement, the United States national cemetery, two and one-half miles from the main plaza in the Mexican capital. where 750 unknown heroes of the Mexican war sleep under one monument, will not be disturbed in any way, regardless of what arrangement is finally made with respect to American property rights elsewhere.
 It is a two-acre tract, purchased by the war department in 1850 from private Mexican owner. It con- tains the graves of many Americans and a few other foreigners as well as United States soldiers who have died in that country. It's freedom from any disturbance is due, in large measure, to the solicitude of Thomas Shea, the superintendent, who be- came concerned over the welfare of his eternally sleeping charges when the Meicxan land laws were first promulgated.
 Shea, born in County Cork, Ire land. in 1859, and a veteran of the Sixth United States cavalry, has been in charge of the cemetery forty years. He recently was described in letter to Secretary Davis as most heavenly old soldier" who is worth a visit in himself and is ab- solutely charming"
 He has flowers everywhere and lovely creepers growing all over the old stones,' the secretary's cor respondent wrote. He was about to modernize all of the paths which were not to his liking, but I be- sought him not to.
 Tt (the cemetery) has wonderful old trees and is separated from the old British cemetery by hedge of roses. It is one of the most charming spots in MeiXco and you can feel safe and proud of It."
 Burials in the cemetery ceased after 1925, because of the growth of the city and to comply with the sanitary code it had enacted.

STORMS AS SEVERE
 BUT LOAD EASIER
Inventions Make Winters Seem Less Fierce Than Of Tore

Boston, Feb. II LR - New Eng. land winters are as cruelty cold as in Puritan days, with the frost giants battling a bit harder thar usual this year, but man has put them so completely on the de- tensive that old timers feel the
 winters are not what they used 10 be-"
 There have been all the elements of a real old fashioned winter this year, with II schooners, steam ITS and barges lost and 30 seamer dead. There have been storms deaths from freezing and enough snow to block all roads.
 Yet the old timer who says win ters were more severe when he used to jog along in an open sleigh now rides in a warm, closed mo- tor car over city streets or country roads scraped clear of snow i'm Inediately after storm. Farm houses that used to be cut off from the world for months each winter now maintain contact by telephone and radio.
 Between three and four feet of snow fell In New England during December and January, but in the more settled regions motor cars, some equipped with sleigh runners, scarcely paused in their activities.
 Nevertheless winter still holds the upper hand when the storm king exerts himself. Snow drifts 25 and 30 feet deep in remote regions, halting traffic for the winter and increasing the demand for snow fences to catch the drifts. Bliz- yards, driven by bowling gales, force fishing schooners and steam CTS to harbor limping under a burden of ice and cargo of snow. Flags at half mast announce vic- tims of the elements.
 After the storm adult New Eng land digs out and begins counting the toll. Youthful New England takes to the hills with sleds and skis. to the ponds with skates, or to their front yards to build snow men. Many youngsters emulate young Gaylord Steel, jr., of Farm ington, Conn.,. who erected seven

scrubbed up the place. Most Of the
furniture was gone though; hunters
and campers had taken it.
II don't know how it got started
that we took our own furniture.
After ths girls had discovered that
the furniture had been moved from
the Grand Anse home, I waited to
more furniture for the wedding or
move out furniture from the home
in La Tuque."
Mrs. Stillman inspected the VII.
son home at Grand Anse and
found no furniture but the kitchen
stove. This started the report that
the Wilson's had moved out their
own furniture.

A FACULTY RECITAL.

The annual recital by the directors
of the music department of GunSton
Hall was presented last night before
an audience that filled the gymnasium
to its capacity. The stage, covered
with boughS of oak leaves and palms
and used to form the setting for
Shakespearean play couple Of nights
before, was a charming background
for the two young ladies who per-
formed-Minna Niemann, pianist, and
Marjorie Lowe, soprano. Nation
Boyce, well known Washington or
ganist and pianist, was the accom-
panist. This was purely an invita-
tion affair and the guests were re-
ceived by Miss Mary l.. Gildersleeve,
principal of the school. There was
a pleasant informal atmosphere to
this recital and both soloists made
substitutions in their printed pro-
grams and gave one encore each at
the conclusion Of their final groups,
respectively.
Miss Niemann, whose playing is
well known here, opened the program
with a substitution of six preludes by
Chopin, played without pause, for the
Harmonious Blacksmith" Of Handel.
She followed with a Chopin nocturne,
giving all these works traditional
reading, and ended her group with
Gabrilowitsch's Caprice Burlesque,"
clever piece of musical composition.
In her second group Miss Niemann
was especially effective in the playing
of Palmgren's subdued pastel, MAY
Night" The Liszt ''Legende,' and,
later, the SchultZ-Strauss brilliant
concert arrangement of "The Blue
stituted for the Delibes-Dohnanyi
Malta Waltz" really needed a full
sized concert grand piano. The
Strauss work won the most prolonged
and enthusiastic applause of the eve
ming. The encore was Albeniz's
Tango Miss, Niemann did not
seem in best form last night; she has
been heard previously to much better
advantage.
Miss Lowe, the singer, is a COM
parative newcomer to Washington.
She has soprano quality of voice and
seems to have complete self-assurance
on the concert stage. 1t would seem
as though better tone production
might do much toward eliminating the
constant tremOlo in her voice; also
she is inclined to that familiar fault of
putting an 'H'' before each vowel in
the words she sings. Her English
enumeration, aside from this, was eX-
cellent. She had the best legato phras-
ing in the lovely German lieder num-
ber, "Widmung," by Schumann, and
the accompaniment in this song and
in the other German songs given
seemed particularly well nodded into
coordination with the singers phras-
ing. Fourdrain'S 20 Cavalier" was
substituted for the Pergolesi number
in the first group and the encore was
''Tally-ho." The cadenza on the final
phrase of Moore's old English song,
when Love is Kind" was eliminated.
