The report is the outcome or a
nation wide survey conducted in
more than 100 cities. selected prin.
cipaIly from those having q popuia-
ton OF over $4,000. although some
were chosen because OF special con
ditions or developments.
All OF the largest and most impor-
tant cities from the standpoint Of
traffic control were included. and q
large ma ority OF the states have
representation by their principal
cities. It is believed that al condl-
lions and methods of traffic control
have been investigated.

Adequate signs are great aid
to the drivers Of vehicles. and con-
sequently are an important factor in
safeguarding and expediting traffic,

the report states.
To be adequate for this service.
every sign should be thoroughly de-
signed and carefully placed SO A. to

New York, Dec. S.-Charity does

in some of the city's swanky hotels.
For the social calendar is filled witt
all manner of benefits that social
registrites are staging for less fortu-

Debs are dividing their time be-

charity benefits to sell everything
from Paris gowns to modernistc

Tn-Colos Are
Now Fashionable
United States Women MAY
Wear Them Also.

The red. white and blue of the
French flag are the fashionable
jewel colors in Paris this winter.
Fortunately for American fashions.
the women of the United States
may wear the new tri-color jewels
-rubies, diamonds and sapphires
as their own country's colors.
Half the smart people In Paris
are seen wearing 1ewelry In flag
colors. The growing vogue for
rubies takes form In rings, brace
let's, brooches and entire necklaces
combining this rare jewel with
sapphires and diamonds. Other
smart flag combinations include
emerald, diamond and ruby, with
occasionally q yellow diamond re-
placing the white stone.
As a result of the craze for flag
jewels, sapphires especially when
set with diamonds. rubies, and for
less formal jewelry. with garnets,
are In great demand at fashiona' lie
rue de IL Paix shops. A handsome
necklace made of oddly carved
sapphire beads, ending in a dia-
mond pendant with ruby of fine
coloring, 10 the feature Of jewe,
show now going on in the Place
Vendome. Single large sapphires,
set with small diamonds and rub
les are in great demand as PEN
dants. rings and brooches. designers
say.
In pieces Of jewelry where two
or more kinds of stones are COM
bined, there is a tendency toward
combining varied types of cutting.
Where emeralds are in baguette
cutting, the diamonds used in the
same piece are likely TO be faceted.
An unusual new phase OF this
fashion Is the combination In a
single piece Of jewelry Of diamonds
and rock crystal. both in baguetse
cutting, to emphasize the brillianc.
OF the finer stone. Emerald in
anything but baguette cutting Is
rare In Paris, craftsmen preferrins
the flat surface to display the
smooth, even color Of the stone.
Several Paris designers are show
ing handsome pins Of platinum
with faceted diamonds of varied
sizes sunk into the surface of me
metal. Tho effect is unusual. Dat
monds thus set are much newer
than when arranged in graduated
sizes.
