SCIENTIST BROWNS
IN SWIFT CURRENT
Potomac Dragged in Vain Be.
low Falls for Body of
MCNeir Smith.

Thought to have been stricken with
cramps and to have been caught by
the swift current while swimming in
the Potomac River about two miles
below Great Falls near the Virginia
shore. McNeir Smith, 81, scientist OF
the Bureau of Standards. was drowned
yesterday. Because of the rush OF the
water, his companion, William G.
Brueggeman, also employed at the bu-
reau. of 32ll Newark street, was unable
to get near him. The body had not
been recovered this morning.
Smith was an expert swimmer,
Rrueegeman said. The two had been
in the water about half an hour and
were some distance apart. Brueggeman
heard a muf1ed cry for help, he de-
clared, and believes he saw Smiths
hand disappear beneath the surface.
Searches Hour.
He searched for an hour for Smith,
but because of the swiftness OF the
current was unable to find him. Con-
vinced that his attempts were futile
he went to ForreStville. Va, and tele-
nhoned the Washington Detective Bu-
reau. The local police told him to ask
the Virginia authorities for assistance,
as the District police launch cannot
navigate the channel above Chain
Bridge.
Although it was believed impossible
To locate the body. the river was
dragged last night. The attempt was
fruitIess.
The two friends left Smiths home,
in the Wyoming Apartments, where he
lived with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. Edgar Smith, about ! o'clock yester-
day afternoon. Smith told his mother
that he would bring Brueggeman home
10 dinner. They entered the water
about . O'Clock.
Smith was born in Washington and
was graduated from Central High
School. He attended George Washing
ton University for short time and
later went to Cornell. When the war
broke out he left college to attend the
officers training camp at Plattsburg.
Girl Is Drowned.
He was commissioned as a second
lieutenant in the Field Artillery and
stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor.
When the war ended he returned to
Cornell. where he was graduated in
1920 with degree of mechanical cleo
trical engineer. For three years ne was
employed by the General Electric Co. at
Schenectady, N. Y, and Pittsburgh
Pa. He was appointed Junior SCI
enlist in the Bureau of Standards jan
uary / this year.
A second death by drowning was re-
corded at almost the same time Smith
lost his life. Mary Wallace, colored,
Is, of 500 L street southwest, was
drowned in the Washington channel at
Water and Sixth streets southwest while
she was playing in the water with sew
eral other children.
They had been trying to teach her
to swim. Believing she had learned,
she Jumped of Riley's dock and imme-
diately sank. Her body was recovered
about an hour later by the harbor
police.

the early days of the automobile,
when practically everything about

She is inclined to go to the length

masculine influences is commented
on further in Paris reports whether
women are becoming more feminine.
whatever that may mean, or
whether the upper classes are once

Couture has paid increased atten-

or so, and one can find in Paris a
great variety Of type design with a
slight leaning toward modernistic
effects.
The entire feeling in the mode to-
day is for apparel appropriate to
the occasion, and expressive of not
only of ones individuality, but of
ones endeavor.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Necklined
receive more than a moderate share
OF fashion treatments. This
interest is shared by afternoon AMI
evening dresses alike, with variety
in scarf themes registering in the
former, while the latter are mora
definitely concerned with extreme
decolletageS, slender shoulder
straps and flower decoration.
Scarves that are features OF after
noon frockS offer slender substi-
tutes for wider versions that they
are almost of the string variety
what they lack in breadth is not
made up in length, since they are
often Of an extremely abbreviated
type.
Little slender panels emanate
from each side of a v neckline al
the front, describe a criss-cross
treatment at the base of the throat
and at the back tie in perky ends
In the same vein, equally slender
panels have their inception at the
base of the neckline, extend
around the throat and terminate
in a bow or merely drop over the
shoulders. Other examples intro
duce the scarf at the back, where
it partly encircles the throat and
ties either at the side or at the
center front.
In wider expressions are scarves
that button on to the frock, at the
shoulder or the throat, and may
be worn loose, in panel fashion, OF
draped gracefully about the throat
Jaunty little outstanding collars
ending in tabs, reveal upon exam
nation that on tab slides through
a small eyelet in the other, MAX
ing it possible to attain a high, snug
line.
In marked contrast to the very
narrow scarves are those of extreme
width, sometimes separate from the
frock, but frequently developing
from an inset yoke, in the Vionnet
manner, their length and breadth
offering many liberties to the wear
er in the way of tying and draping
All of which is another proof that
pendulum swings both ways and
that the bateau and other I'M
adorned necklines have had their
day, and also that the scarf is toe
effective a weapon for women to
lay aside.

YOUR CHILD.
Suggestions
for Winter
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

About the question of sleeping
and keeping children warm and
covered in cold winter nights, there
is much to be said.
Like everything else, it is up to
our own good judgment, for homes
are different, children are different,
weather is different-and climate,
too, plays a great part.
There exists a certain popular
idea about hardening" children.
That is, not allowing them to be-
come accustomed to too many bed
clothes at night, and showing up
al the windows, regardless of cold
and wind.
I've seen parents do this who
wouldn't have thought of sleeping
in such rooms themselves. 1 have
gone into bedrooms at night where
there we're sleeping children, when
it was all I could do to endure the
cold with my street wraps on.
The coolest days and nights of
the year are ahead of us now. We
face three or four months of our
bitterest weather.
A wise mother is going to think
this thing out now.
First of all there should be
plenty of warm, light bed-clothes.
This is important. Heavy bed
clothes are not always warm, and
they are never healthful. Blankets
should be made of wool. Comforts
may be cotton-filled, but cotton is
likely to lump in places, leaving
other parts thin or entirely empty
between the chintz covers. The ideal
comfort is wool, or fleece filled
Eiderdown is ideal but very eXpen-
SiVe.
Nightgowns should be loose and
warm. For winter they should be
made of soft, f1eecy material, such
as outing flannel or the flexible
knitted fabrics made for the pur-
pose. Ready-made sleeping gar
ments with feet, for children, can
not we'll be improved upon.
For little babies, sleeping bags
are very practical These can be
made of small blankets folded dou-
BILE and sewed up the sides. Snap
pers can be put at the top, covering
the shoulders, allowing enough space
for the head. This is better than a
draw-string. There should be plenty
of room to kick about inside the
bag.
Blankets should be fastened to
the bed if children toss. Tapes can
be sewed on the corners and tied
to the bars at the side.
The air of the room should be
fresh and cold, but never bitter and
never blowing on the bed or around
the head. Attractive bedroom
screens may be made cheaply by
covering a clothes-horse with Gre
tonne. The sides and head of
open beds should be lined.
There is something else to be re-
membered, however. Not all winter
nights are bitter. You can't fix up
child for below-zero weather and
expect him to be comfortable on a
night registering forty above. Don't
keep him too hot on such nights.
This is where the question of judg-
ment comes in. Consider your house,
rooms, location of beds, and your
climate. If you want your child to
be WELL give special attention to the
way he sleeps.

Endless Variety
Offered in Shops
for Gift Choice

BIZ TBffcd Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Given a
full purse, it should be a compare
lively simple, certainly a fascinat-
ing matter, to do ones Christmas
shopping. The shops offer all man
ner of temptations at all manner
of costs.
There are so many things not
usually seen, such as the choice of
a fur set or the gift Of a fan, for we
are to learn to use them again, even
the possibility of hair ornaments Of
one sort or another and the endless
array Of jeWelry novelties.
Everything seems to have been
dipped in the rainbow. Whatever
the plans of the weather man, it
will certainly not be a white
Christmas" True pearls and crys-
tails add their sparkle to the scene.
but there are jeweled novelties as
red as the holly or as green as its
leaves.
One has a feeling somehow that
this will not be a year of useful
giving, but one which will be
characterized by the gift of beauty
and frivolity. There are endless
enamel trinkets. There are lighters
and cigarette cases, holders and all
manner of smoking kits as lady
like" as they we're once essentially
masculine.
There are walking sticks, too, and
cuff links and belts, though the
mode is at its most feminine. "She"
will not be outraged this Christmas
if your jewelry gift is valueless
judged by any standard other than
style.
Amusing jewelry novelties fash
Toned of ermine tails contribute
an element Of surprise and charm.
