NEW SWEATERS OF
 BRIGHTER COLORS
Men Will Go in for Stronger
 Tones This Year
BY CURTIS WOOD NEA Service Writer

New York, Mar. a3.-Swsaters are getting tony, They are starting a caste system in clothes this year. You wear one kind of sweater If it's with q suit Another if it's for tennis, golf or other sports.
 The first kind includes the new. plain- n-colorod anGora sweaters soft enough for q baby and incl dentallv coming in shades that Father wouldn't have worn q few years ago. Pastel colored. fine wools they are mostly. Some of the off white ones are suspiciously like pink. And the greater num- ber of them are slip-overs.
 The sports sweaters now that they can come out definitely for open-air wear. show strong colors and go in for decorative designs.
 Browns and purples-in more tones than the average person realizes exist - are the seasons most popular eolors. But that doesn't keep out orange. gaudy blOc. smart pldCk ana "nlt", req, green and every other color that can and does catch the eye.
 Of the sports sweaters---to be worn with flannel trousers or with knickers-small patterns seem to be the note when there is lively color and when the color is toned down piaids, stripes and checks rise to prominence.
 It's about fifty-fift this year whether the sports sweater is q pull-over or cardigan that but tons up the front like coat. One is as correctly stylish as the other.

STRIPES, STRIPES!
 SMART TIES SONG
That's How Man of the Mode
 Will Pick Them
BY CCRTI : WOOD NE.i service Writer

New York, Mar. 23, The stripe influence is the leading thought in spring neckwrar. And the man who cares about his looks steers away from the cravat Of just ordinary stripe. He asks more than just popu- larity from his ties.
 So there are ties that get their stripes by using lines of every thing from dogs to traffic towers along Fifth avenue. And there are ties that use q wide variety Of stripes, both coming and going 10 form Scotch plaids that make a man wish he had Highland blood and tartan to be simulated in silk for his throat.
 Night Clubs
 The newest thing in ties is the all-over finely printed pattern of q number Of modern things set in such way as to produce stripes. Some Of these are Night Clubs - with many little figures. including dancers and tipsy devotees: Tour thS' ANntua outCs, and lunches-none of them over an eighth-inch in size: and Pro hibition. which makes much of the policeman's star and the bar tenders corkscrew.
 Materials are as important as patterns now. Irish poplins. silk reps, flat crepes and crisp Jap silks are good. Moires are out So are the crazy razzle-dazzle toulard patterns. Polka dots are always Brocades are not so hot now. One Of the most popular ties for spring will be the plain colored flat crepes, With suits growing bold and taking plaids themselves. even in purple tones. ties can afford to, calm down and just fit into the ensemble rather than be focal points.
 Brown and Blue Colors for spring show a pre- dominating brown and blue tone. AS for the browns-they fiEurc out dozens Of tones and shadings and somhre effects that give the impression of ultitudinous kinds of browns. Some dull reds are snappy as can be. likewise reds that border on purple.
 Stripes are almost always gay. when just plain stripes. But when they are uniquely designed figures they tone down the cravat, 10 wit. the tie shown today of red

 Black Velvct's Elegance
 I have remarked before but would like to emphasize the insistance of evening modes on a moro elegant tormality. Black velvet has this in- trisically. And when the lines have flowing grace it is doubled.
 Here l have applied the shir.ed tlounce to get the swallow-tail hem line. And for diversity. this hem is curved and notthed to show the ap- pie green satin lining. The neckilne and sleeveless armholes are likewise bound with green which shows ever and anon as Milady moves, giving a fresh note to the gown.

Fashion Decr@s They Break the

New York. March 23.--The lines of new spring evening gowns are ss fresh and tluttering as the season 5 zephyrS.

 spring materials are particularly dainty for evening wear. Powered freshness comes to us in printed s1tins and chilfons. The swish and sheen ot moire adds sophisticated quality 10 any party. And tahetas come in luscious shades-ali of them soft like the on-whites, the honey belgcs, the moonlight greens and so on.

 Two very lovely costume jewelry pins ornament this blue frock-- square turquoise set in platinum, in modern design. One of the twin pins catches the bodice at the point of the V and eases a little fullness into the neckline. The other fastens the girdle. The be-gemmed gown really has the edge on the others now.

KEEP THE HOME SAFE!

That great American humorist, Mark Twain,
once hit on ''big" idea
1.-THE majority of PERSONS, he wrote, Idle
in bed. Therefore, to preserve my life, | spend
as little time in bed as possible"
Now that the National Safety Council advis-
that one-fourth of the deaths by acct
dent occur in the homes of people, some wise
birds will probably declare that one way of
preserving life is to go out lot.
More persons were killed during the early
part of this year through accidents in the
home than met death through motor accidents
on tie dangerous open road
There is only one remedy for this condition.
Stay home much as you can't is the
best place for all of us. But be careful.
Don't leave rugs where they will trip the
uhwary
Don't light fires with gasoline.
Don't forget to turn off the gas.
Keep children away from open flames.
Don't leave poisonous medicines, polishes, ETC.
where Children can get at them.
Don't throw lighted matches away carlessy
In other words, watch your step. It might
be good idea to paste up list of "don'ts' in
your kitchen and look at it once in while
Make your home the safest place to be in.
Neglect of the simple. precautions necessary
for safety is an inexcusabe crime.

COME OUT OF THE HILLS TODAY

llo, boys, put by the axe and saw
And leave unscalped the waiting log
The champing teams have earned rest
From floundring in the muddy bog
The "Water-jack' has served his crew,
And each has gladly done his BEST
And one-eyed bosses are ''all in
Say, let us take a needed rest,
And come out of the hills today!
Far in the heart of the wooded hills
The welcome freestone springs burst forth
The mountain tops and shady dells
Are cooled by breezes from the north
The red-birds start and cease their songs
And fly away at each trees fall;
And squirrels tremble in their nests
But come and let's forget them all,
And come out of the hills today
The woods may grieve, the hills may call
When you have hushed your noisy toll;
The rain may cease, the sun may shine
You surely need not work to broil
You've other things to do than grind
Your lives away in ceaseless pain;
The outer world is wanting you;
1t calls to you to live again
For Frying Pan plays ball today

The crescent moon hung low;
just DER the western hill-tops gray,
A dazzling silver bow;
5Clt temprd winds blew from the south,
And stirred the leafless trees,
The wood owl calPd from distant hills
In Vale Saint Martineze
That night with aching hearts we sought
The lost child far and wide,
The little Juliene, had he
Of cold and hunger died?
Three days before he'd wandered forth
Amongst the forest trees
And Julene was lost, indeed,
From Vale Saint Martineze
Twas on a calmer afternoon
When childish wish BETRAYED
The little Juliene, and he
To wander forth essay'd;
That night brought forth the cruel winds
From Northlands frozen seas
Ill Jared the little wanderer
From Vale Saint Martineze.

Artificial Bird Houses

Wood is by all means the best ma
terial for bird houses. Metal should
be avoided because it is a conductor
or neat. In the choice of wood, an
easily workable kind, such as cypress,
pine or yellow poplar, is preferable
for homemade bird houses. Cypress
is the most durable of these. Sawmill
waste-rough slabs with the bark on
furnishes cheap and satisfactory ma
'teriai for rustic houses.

PRESS Seeking.
AIR CHANNELS

American press associations and
newspapers went before the Federal
Radio Commission today to demand
that the short wave lengths be
opened up for news distribution.
Joseph Pierson, of Chicago. repre-
senting the American Newspaper
Publishers Association, declared that
the crying need Of the American
press is for adequate radio COM
munication facilities, as an adjunct
to present wire facilities.
1.-THE association is asking the
commission to make permanent the
radio services which the news
papers and press associations have
developed on an experimental
basis" he said.
He told how a press association
furnished it's Florida clients with a
radio news report after wire lines
had been torn down in the hurri-
cane. International News Service
performed this service.
DIR. j. III. Dellinger, OF the Bureau
of Standards said that about 1000
short wave channels are available
to all countries.

Ocean of Oil in ShaIe,
Report of Board SAYS

Claiming that in the country's, oil
shale alone there are $4,000, 000, 900
barrels OF recoverable oil, the Fed
eral Oil Conservation Board, in it's
report to the President made public
yesterday, stated that when present
petroleum deposits in this country
are exhausted, the country can turn
to oil shale, coal, corn and sugar
cane for a supply of oil and oil SUBJ
stitutes that will last for many
years.
The board recommended that 1000
acres of publicly owned coal deposits
in Wyoming and Montana, where
there is a coal supply from which, it
is estimated $4,000. 900 barrels of oil
could be produced, be withdrawn by
executive order.
1t was also recommended that
while there was no immediate need
of developing oil from shale and coal,
the study of the technical problems
involved in the process should be
carried on, as eventually the well oil
in the country would be exhausted.

an underworld drama which caused
police here today to lodge formal
charges of murder against Doris

About 1000 applicants, including
many of the men in high position in

The Prohibition Bureau said the
exams must be made easier or
some of the best agents in the serv-
ice will be lost.
.'In no case can the commission
frame its examinations with a view
to perpetuating the tenure of in
