WOOLENS WITH CLINCINC LINES SEEN
 AS SOMETHING NEW FOR AUTUMN WEAR

A specific example is the cloth tailored dress which is about to realize strong comeback. especial ly in the coat-dress type that makes smart tailoring the most essential factor. and fairly begs for a hat that is equally trim and we'll groom ed in line and bearing. The turban answers this demand perfectly, for like the tailored coat dress, the first essential of it is that it fits the head like the well-known paper on the wall, and that above all else. it be correct in line.
 The term tailored line" Is really another way of saving smooth line. for no matter how worked and in- trlcate the fabric is, the finished ef- feet must be smooth and unencum- bered. The new turbans are mar. vels of workmanship. for in every phase of their development they carry out this idea of neatly tailor ed line. The vogue of the turban is all the more impressive this sea- son for 1t is developed in so many
 , different media, adding to the al- ways familiar felts, hatters' plush, velvet and feathers.
 Plush Version IS New
 The matters plush version is quite the newest. since the hatter's plush itself IS the last arrival, The feather turban, now pretty we'll known. is important and is regarded favorably by greater number of millinery authorities than at its first popular debut last year.
 But even the feather turban bows to an era of workmanship and de- sign and as result takes off an altogether new look. For one thing. there Is greater ingenuity displayed Tn the placement of the feather pads, and. in addition. greater scope In the choice of feathers and the combinations of colors. That a great many milliners have a good word 10 say for the feather turban. par tlcularly for the early season, is not be to overlooked.
 The velvet turban seems fore gone conclusion to share in the favor that velvet frocks are sched- uled to enjoy, The little turbans that are shown with these frocks and costumes are really less severe than the other turbans mentioned. Again they reflect the personality of the gown they are to be worn with and instead of the "construct- ed' development that identifies a tailored dress or hat. the velvets have a softer, drapery quality.

CASE
 STILL MYST|FIES
Finding of Poison Further Com.
 pliCat@ Matters
Paris. Aug. Is P,-An unofficial

| Paris, Aug. Is P-An unofficial report that toxic matter had been found in the viscera of Captain AL fred Loewenstein. Belgian tinancier, today added to the mystery which has surrounded his death.
 Members of the Loewensteln fam fly had requested that an exhaustive examination of Captain Loewen- stein's body be made after it was found on July l9 in the English Channel into which the Belgian had fallen from his private airplane on July 4. 1t was stated that their ob- ject was to make impossible the cropping up in the future Of sensa- tional and fantastic stories about the bankers end.
 The investigation was entrusted to Dr. Paul, chief chemical analyst for the Surete Generale. the French Scotland Yard, and a ading author lty on medical Jurisprudence. Le Matln says that the report is cur rent at the court house in Boulognc that the experts report, which will not be made public, reveals the existence of traces of very char. acterlstic toxic matter"
 The report is to be forwarded to the court in Brussels which con- ducted an inquiry into the disap- pearance and death of the flnancier Should this lead to a reopening of the investigation it is likely to have diplomatic as well as judicial ramifi- cations since the body was recovered outside of the territorial waters of either England or France.
 kohn Abrest, the toXicologlst to whom the analysis of the Niscera was entrusted. refused 10 divulge what had or had not been discovered and said that he had made no re- port as yet for the good reason that he had not finished his work.
 Le Journal. however. said today that Abrest recently told someone who questioned him on the sublNt. there is nothing, nothing-no pois- oning, simply the remains of an or dinary meal and sea water"
 The newspaper Telegramme de Boulogne quoted the judge of the court as saying that the presence of poison in Loewenstein's intestines did not necessarily indicate that the capitalist had died from that cause It was known. the judge said, that Loewenstein was in the habit of talk ing aperient medicines and that he took a large dose on July 4 before a strong dose, he continued, could account for the accumulation of tox- ic substances.

New York, Aug. IS (UP)-The re- cognltion of the tailored cloth frock as style garment for fall has paved the way for further consid eration of cloth frocks-namely, those that are rot so severely tailored. The pre- Judice that hung over all cloth dresses. disqualifying them for any thing but hard utilitarian wear dur ing the dead of winter. is fast evap- orating-the result, without doubt, Of the establishment of the light weight type of dress woollen.
 There are innumerable versions of these weaves, ranging from light weight tweed mixtures to plain types sufficiently transparent to give them the identity of georgette They, of course, have been on the market for some time now, but they are seen in much greater numbers among au- thoritative houses.
 It would seem that dress fabric to be successful must be fluttering or cllnging. or both. and because the lightweight woollens have been de veloped to have these qualities their chance for favor looks quite certain.
 Is New Idea
 The idea of a cloth dress made on dressy lines is unquestionably new. and without belittling the position of velvet or crepe satin. One dares to think that such type offers a well come variety to these others which appear in such great numbers this season
 There will be so many expressions of the cloth frock this season that, in this age of fine departmentallzing a department of cloth frocks alone could very adequately be stocked,
 There is the tailored street dress of coat-dress type, at present the strongest candidate for early wear; the sports type that usually means two-piece styling; the formal dress in afternon or warmer colors. and the woolen dress as part and parcel of the ensemble that features coat and frock in different weights of the same pattern. This latter is a novelty that is handled by exclusive houses.
 Turbans Popular
 That turbans are going to be more important this season than they have been for a long time is highlight evident to anyone con- cerned with millinery. Turbans in l.I
 when fashions costume make so strong a point of tailored outline as they do now.

on tuberculosis In Cattle

which while it is a problem of su-
preme economic Importance to cattle
owners individually and collectively
is also without any question a prob
lem of the public health.
Opposition to the area testing and
compensation plan is sometimes due
to the anti-spirit so common among
the uniformed but sometimes it is
due to hair splitting and unproven or
impractical theories of those who
know or should know.
Something must be done to eradi-
cate this destructive disease, tuber-
culosis, from our herds, and to pre-
vent it spreading to humans; and the
area testing and compensation plan
Is of definite value. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that opponents to the plan
who cannot be classed as just ants
are satisfied to just oppose without
proposing some other practical COM
mercially possible plan with the re-
suit that just nothing is done. Ev-
erything should be done-clinical OBJ
servation and examination of cattle,
tuberculin testing, and slaughter of
reactors and proper pasteurization of
milk. Expense should not be the de-
termining consideration. In fact,
money spent for such things is not
expense, it is investment which will
return dividends.
