JUGS OF BOOZE

Mexicans Attempting to En-

Whether he had twice as strong
a reason to hold on to his load or
from some other cause, Rafael Monte

gallcn jugs filled with mescal while
his pal, Florentino Martinez, although
caught, had no booze but admitted
that the jug he dropped had been
filled prior to the time IL nit the
ground and broke from the impact.
He made further admission. He
admitted that he was frightened and
that probably explained his losing
the grip on the gallon OF booze.
1t is stated that the two were
intercepted by inspectors along the
border when they were trying to
bring their liquor into the United
States. They we're locked up at the
police station and are scheduled to
have a hearing tomorrow afternoon

Color in Mems S Wear
Still the Vogue But
In More Subdued Line

Color continues to be one of the
most important style influences in
the design and selection OF mems
clothes-as in everything else.
Even Henry Frod has caught the
color infection and is turning out
cars decked in hues other than the
unlamented, funereal black.
Though the spring fabrics have
taken their colors from a pretty
lively palette, they're more practical,
SO to speak, than those OF a year
ago. This is especially true OF young
mems clothes
Light Tans, Grays and Blue Grays
This spring, while colors continue
to sing in lively tones, they're some
what more subdued. And more at
tention has been paid to harmonious
blending, not only in the ground
cclors,b ut in the decorative patterns
as we'll
Light tans, sand shades, and new
blue gray mixtures seem to have the
call, judging by the reports OF lead
ing manufacturers. Blues, of course,
are always good and there is still
some demand for Oxford gray, though
lighter Cambridge shade is more
in evidence.
An entirely new note is green-a
tight, lichen Shade-that is making
its appearance also in shirts and
other accessories.
Neat Stripes Favored
The stripe motif will be a favorite
in patterns, but the stripes will be
neater, less bold, and in many cases
shot through with decorative threads
of lustrous silk. This gives a very
pleasing, enlivening effect, particu7
larly in the worsteds now fast re-
gaining some of their eclipsed popu-
larity with the young men.
Herringbones, too, are receiving
considerable attention; and in the
more expensive "customized" lines,
small broken check and alI-oVer
Scotch motifs are being shown.
The whole tendency is to neater,
smarter effects than formerly and
sign.
More Fitted Lines in the Suits
One of the outstanding trends in
suit styles is the fitted body lines
AS one witty style observer facetiously
remarks, Eat men stand a slim
chance in 1928 styles
In other words, the man OF aver
age build is going to have a chance
to show his figure, an advantage
hitherto almost entirely monopolized
in certain respects by the fair sex.
Among college men, the three-but
ton model continues to be popular,
though there is a tendency to get
over into the two buttons preserves
by leaving the top button of the
three unbuttoned.
The double breasted vest with
pleated top, straight-hanging trousers
is a combination increasingly favored
and two-button single breasted coat
by smart dressers 1t looks particu-
larly well when topped off with a
hombourg hat.
Fancy Vests Coming Back
And speaking of vests, it looks
very much as though the old fancy
waistcoat of couple of decades or
more ago is going to be given the
pulmotor and brought back to life.
One of the leading mems stores OF
Chicago is now showing suit with
two veSts-a plain and fancy. The
plain vest is of the same material as
the coat and trousers The fancy
vest has the same ground color as
the plain, but there's neat figured
design woven into the fabric which
gives it the fancy effect
