Paris. Aug 3.-tPl-Thousands Of , American buyers in wilted collars
 and summer weight suits daily are
 perspiring through long sessions in
 gilded fashion salons where the sea-
 sonal contest between womankipd

 selves style creators. is going on. Past experience shows that the
 women usually lose as the Paris l dressmakers sooner or later put over l their composite ideas whether they call for hobble skirts or buetles. Picking winners is not so easy from the retailers viewpoint. however. and buyers spend anxious hours placing their money on little models" for which Paris demands high prices
 Velvet Not Liked The professional group from America views with alarm the Partisan insistence on velvet for wear around the clock. The head buyer of one of New Works largest retail establishments flatly stated: "A merican women who are practi- cal souls do not like velvet and never Will like velet.' Then he plac- ed large order for velvet dresses and coats.
 Years ago, French dressmakers retort, American women felt the same way about kasha as they do now about velvet, but all that hae changed with time and patience,
 Paris takes it's velvet plain and printed this season and of pure or artificial silk. The prints are in small light patterns imposed on dark grounds. There are fashioned vel vet suits. coats. dresses and sport clothes, the latter in cotton velvet.
 Evening dresses in the newest and most Partisan form are made of vel vet that is so light and delivate that 1t resembles chiffon. The models are reminiscent of printed chiffon for summer, with extreme " uneven hemlines and futtering draperles often reaching the floor.
 Daring decolletes, in the back are shown at many houses, and it is not

 There are sumptuous metal cloth or velvet evening coats lined with the same fine velvet as the dress to make an evening ensemble. Buyers agree Paris has not designed such eeductively feminine clothes for many years.
 Lengths are Same
 Skirt lengths are the same from the Paris viewpoint. although that means longer for the United States Where they never dropped in accord lnce with the Rue de la Paix ward stick of what's what.

Wllilamstown. Mass, Aug. 3 lF- Modern methods of commerce anf communication are bringing in, varied racial groups of the Pacih, together into new commonwealth Frol' k. D. Mckenzie of the Uni, sersity of Washington told the In. stltute Of Politics at a round table discussion today.
 The natural barriers of the Pa. cihc, he said, had done much |, produce this large number of racial cultural and political groups which evolved for the most part with but httle contact with each other.
 Modern Methods Aid
 From this state of comparative Isolation. however, modern systems of communication and commerce. he said, have brought the group into greater and greater contact. The Pa cflc ocean is now the great ayenu. Ot this communication, 80 that what once was the back door of various habitation areas has become the front door.
 He pointed out, however, that this Is causing new problems to arise be- cause the races also are betting brought together biologically and culturally.
 Other round table discussions were on the protection of Ameri- cans abroad. led by Prof. E. M. Borchard of Yale; irlter-Americau economic and commercial relations, under the leadership of Prof. H. T. Ceilings, University of Pennsylvania, and methods of social direction, Prof Graham Wallas of London.
 Prof. Ceilings. in duscussing inter- American relations, pointed out the difference in temperament between the peoples of the north and south.
 Is Cultural
 The Latin is cultural in tempera- ment and therefore an idealist. he said, whereas the Anglo-Saxon is more practical By nature, he de- clared, the Latin is inclined to be somewhat suspicious and so far has shown himself to be | poor cooper ator.
 This difference in temperament, he asserted. constitutes @ problem and challenge to prospective American business men who enter the Latin fields. He urged ( sympa- thetic attitude and understanding on the basis of which he said, not only good, but lasting friendship. could be established.
 Prof. Wallas opened his round table conference on social direction by pointing out that he was not dealing with specific social or politi- cal problems but with the general | conditions which underlies such problems.
 Not Kept Pace
 Governmen has not kept pace with scientific knowledge. he said. and our task is to secure wise di- rection of our new powers. Our main guide in the direction of a world transformed must be the power of reason and the suspension of thought and feeling which that ] process involves.
 Prof. Borchard. discussing the protection of citizens abroad, said ''the citizen or investor abroad has ! relation to two countries-the one in which he is or in which his money or property is invested. and his home country. If he is unduly against. or denied Justice" as 1t is called. his own asserts its right to pro- tect him and to see to it that he is recorded the rights international

SENATOR'S TRUNKS
SEARCHED At PIER
Phipps' Protest Fails to Halt
Hunt by Customs
Inspectors.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 25.-Despite
his indignant protests. the baggage OF
United States Senator Lawrence e.
Phipps of Colorado was thoroughly
searched when he arrived on the French
steamer lie de France today.
The Republican Senator told Gus
toms inspectors that his II pieces OF
luggage contained only trif1ing foreign
purchases, all Of which he had properly
declared, but at the direction of
deputy collector of customs everything
was opened on the pier and carefully
examined.
An unidentified customs official later
interceded in the examination of the
Senator's baggage and the inspection
was expedited, and, although reluctant
to discuss the foreign purchases of the
Senator, it was learned from authori-
ties that he paid considerable duties
before leaving the pier.
Despite his controversy with the Gus
toms men, Senator Phipps found tina
to speak of politics with ship reporters
He defended the Republican policy OF
leasing Colorado water power to private
interests and said that its present high
state of development was due to private
enterprise.
Gov. Smith" he said, sis making
bugaboo out of the water power con-
troll. If the water power development
had been left to the Government we
would never have gotten along as rap
idly as we have. 1t should not be
question of politics, whether Demo-
cratic or Republican, but of sound
business policy"

RED CROSS FUND
GROWS STEADILY
Report Is CompiIed-May
Show Total of Over
$4,000.

National Red Cross officials here were
working on the compilation of a report
today which, it is expected will reveal
a much better standing in their drive
for S5,000,000 for relief of those caught
in the path of the West Indies hurri-
cane than was shown last Saturday
when less than one-third of the needed
amount had been collected.
At that time only one-half of the
$500 member chapters had been heard
from. The tagging chapters were
urgently requested to forward their
financial reports to headquarters to-
day.
Fund at S21.500.
Victor B. Deyber. who is directing
the drive for funds in Washington,
had a total of $2l 500 collected this

halfway mark of its $4,000 quota.
Henry M. Baker. National Red Cross
director of disaster relief, who is per-
sonally directing relief operations in
Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, re-
ported today that the Red Cross is now
distributing a daily average of 300 tons
of food in the island of Porto Rico Us
we'll as clothing and other medical
supplies
After carefully reviewing the situa-
ton here, following my Sunday meet
ing with $50 representatives of branches
of the Porto Rico Chapter of the Red
Cross and civil governments of 80 of
the II municipalities. 1 am of the opin-
ion that the previous estimate of AssO-
ciate Director NJ. K. Reckord that the
refugees number at least 100000 is
good estimate.
Most of the municipalities reported
that the relief situation is fairly we'll
in hand, but the health situation is of
outstanding seriousness and is giving
me the most concern"
$4,000 Given Aid.
The SO municipalities represented at
the Sunday meeting reported total of
approximately 56,777 families, or nearly
$4,000 individuals, as homeless and re-
Ceiving Red Cross aid, but Director Ba-
ker pointed out that several of the mu-
inequalities most seriously affected by
the hurricane were not represented at
the meeting.
Equipment for three refugee tent
camps was ordered today from the New
Orleans Army supply base to be sent to
Florida to care for the refugees who will
be unable to return to their homes in
the Okeechobee Lake district for an in
definite period.

tor for Florida, said that 1000 tents will
be sent to West Palm Beach, 1000 to

WATSON SETSS|TE
FOR FIRE HOUSES
Two Forced Out by U. S.
Buildings Should Go on 18th
Street, He Says.

The two Fire Department units to
be forced out of the Pennsylvania ave-
nue. triangle by the Federal. Govern
ment's gigantic building programme.
3 Truck Co. and No. Is Engine Co.
should be located on the west side of
Fifteenth. street between d and E
streets In the public park, opposite the
new Department of Commerce site, for
the protection of the White House and
the hazardous business section. Fire
Chief George S. Watson today reported
to Commissioner Proctor L. Doughertv.
Watson and Municipal Architect AL
bert L. Harris had just completed a
survey OF sites adjacent to the business
section. In addition to the one on
FIFTEENTH street. two others were con-
Sldered, one at Nineteenth and B
streets, and the other at Eighteenth
street and New York avenue. The fire
cnlef. however, came to the conclusion
that both of these would be too far
removed from the high value section
and the new Government buildings To
DC erected in the triangular area south
OF Pennsylvania avenue.
Site Owned by U. s.
The site recommended by Watson Is
owned by the Federal Government. and
Its use will have to be approved by the
Public Buildings Commission. Commits
sloner Dougnerty is known to approve
this location. and steps probably will be
taken soon to have the property trans
ferred to the District.
Watson told Commissioner Doughertv
that No. 3 Truck Company and No. Is
Engine Company are located at present
Tor the protection of the hazardous
business section and the large Govern
ment buildings, which are more or less
centrally located For instance" he
said, both companies are due on the
first alarm at the White House. and to
materially change their present strate-
gle location would correspondence de-
crease the protection AFFORDED.
White House Considered.
1.-THE Executive Mansion has ALWAYS
been given special consideration with
regard to the response of units in the
event OF fire, and the department has
established definite positions for each
piece of apparatus due on the first
alarm. 1t is believed that any decrease
IN the protection now afforded would
be serious mistake. Moreover, to re-
locate the two companies south of the
Mall would be most unwise, and they
would be entirely too far removed from
the hazardous downtown section"

statement in which he refused any
apoloey or withdrawal of his statement
that Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis
had violated the prohibition law, made
during a speech at Westminster on Sat-
urday night. He reiterated his stand
that he was, in the case of the charge
against Hoover, merely repeating a
statement that had been attributed to
Clarence Darrow, Chicago attorney. He
said that it had never been denied by
MIR. Darrow or Mr.. Hoover, and that
the familiarity shown by George Aker-
son, Mr.. Hoover's aide, in denying the
charge showed he knew of the state
ment which he said had been made
by Mr.. Darrow.
Senator Bruce refused to comment on
the denial of the charge entered
earlier In the day by Senator. Curtis
until he had seen the published state
ment of the vice presidential candidate.
IF Mr.. barrow will unequlvocally
deny that he has ever made such a
statement, I will be glad to accept his
denial rather than the press report OF
what he said, as true version OF the
matter, and to express my regret that
/ should have used his alleged state
ment In commenting in my speech"
