MARY PICKF()RDIKES
 SPORT CLOTHES BEST
By MARGARET GREEN Associated Press Fashion Editor)

PARIS, July 6.-Mary Pickford who says she Hikes sports clothes best" confirmed the statement when she left Paris after her re. cent trip, by taking home a large assortment.
 Her first choice was4a .oiue and cream plaid lightweight woo-i from Patou, set on yoke at the shonl- ders, with buttons the entire length, the blouse with incrusta- lions and the skirt pleated.
 Next came white crepe satin made up on the flat side and trimmed with the shiny. A check cred pattern in black and white trims the sleeves, pockets and three V bands on the collar.
 Plain jersey in golf blue made into a pleated skirt and three button coat with blouse and white collar and vest showing an em broidery motif was another choice.
 For variety Miss Pickfor6 added to her wardrobe white erepella evening coat trimmed wita white fox fur and inerustations, a blue printed chiffon evening dress and beige satin lounge pajamas with unusually long trousers.
 From the Jenny collection Miss Piekford selected a grey crepe de chine dress with a full, scalloped skirt set on the dress with a seal. loped yoke. The belt ties at the front with a fluffy bow. The sleeves have appliqued trimming and the snug collar ties at the neck. Blue and lavender crepe de chine in square print design with pleated skirt and flounce at the bottom of the blouse was picked out for informal afternoon wear.
 Miss Pickford's visit was slight y marred by the question, "To bob or not to 3ob?" She found short hair predominating in Paris.
 incidentally she refuses to try on clothes. She is so tiny that she is simply lost in the smallest uiannequin size.

BOSTON. July G. Women now are determining the styling arl designing of fabrics produced ils many of the fine goods cottcn mills of the country
 American manufacturers during the past few years have given more attention to style, the orig. mating of new creations and to making the. most delicate of co,. ors fast to the sun and washing.
 They have placed women at the head of style bureaus in mills and have appointed them directors of fabric styling in plants and sell ing houses so that the industry may be given the feminine view point.

Twelve men were known to Be dead.
at least half = dozen more were

critical condition in various hospi-
tails today % the result Of the par
tial destruction late yesterday after
noon Of the distillation plant Of the
Beacon Oil company here.
All Of the dead, missing and SER
iously injured were employees Of the
oil company. Two Of the bodies re-
mained unidentified and officials,
who said that they were charred
beyond the possibility Of recogni-
tion, expressed the belief that they
might be those Of men now listed,
as missing.
More. Bodies Hunted
Throughout the night firemen,
policemen and other workers tire
lessly searched the smoking ruins
for additional bodies while sobbing
groups of relatives besieged the
main gates Of the big plant in quest
OF information or clustered about
the undertaking rooms where the
dead were being identified.
Mrs. Martha Landrigan, mother
Of four children, who had been
early cheered by mistaken Informs
ton from firemen that her husband
was safe, collapsed when his body
was identified. Landrigan had
been a deep sea diver for years and
had only recently retired from his
perilous profession for what his
family thought would be safer work.

The first blast came with q roar
that was heard in cities for miles
around. and almost Immediately a
gigantic cloud Of thick black smoke
spurted upwards. Within a few
minutes five alarms, summoning
help from half dozen nearby
cities, had been sounded and the en-
tire area was shrouded in the gloom
of the oil pail, through which jets
of flame lcaped 200 feet into the
air.
Early arrivals on the scene in

twice that number of physicians

their lives to bring absolution to
the dying or joined in the work of
rescue. The physicians set up an
emergency hospital where the slight
ly injured were treated and m at
tempt made to assuage the pains of
those more seriously hurt until am

tails.
Property damage probably will
not exceed $4,000.
