HAVE never quite understood why
it should be necessary for a person
to r about his appearance wheT

ar announcer or entertainer alb
solutely invisible to every one hearing
his voice should have tc bother about
the cut of his clothes or valetlng or
grooming Of any kind is beyond me.
But the simple fact is that these m
visible performers are held to standards
quite as rigid as if they were appearing
on a concert or opera stage.
The only answer seems to be that
one Just can't stand up before a micro
phone unless he is looking his best.
Years of radio work bring about some
degree of indifference, but to the great
majority of radio artists the discovery

who will listen that a radio artist needs

Torrance. He keeps a supply OF
grease paint at the studio, and I am
absolutely convinced that if this should
be missing some day, his voice would
go with it. Women, of course, nave
more complicated dress problems than
men and they appear to do a lot more
fussing about their clothes. This is
particularly true about beginners, who
seem to think that their clothes get-up
Is more important than what goes
through the microphone. Another
curious thing about this is that many
artists who are ordinary simple, straight
forward people, unconSciously assume
the grand manner the moment they
enter the studio in preparation for a
broadcast. I asked n of them once
why she felt it necessary to dress with
such elaborate attention to detail and
to sweep into the studio like Nine.

should feel the criticism of others, par

Sometimes, all those people out there

wolves waiting to devour me. I have
to use every bit of will and summon
every ounce of assurance and self
esteem there is in me. If my ego
should be punctured by somebody lift

I probably would cave in. One of my
most valued artistic assets is a maid,

NEXT WINTER TO SEE
 LONGER SKIRTS WORN
By DIANA MERWIN Fashion Editor
lAssnciated Press Feature Seryice

Associated Press Feature Service)
 PARIS, Sept. 19--Winter skirts as shown here are longer, but how much longer is question every wcrlan will have to decide for herself, taking the time and place into consideration.
 Evening styles at the majority Of the big houses of design feature skirts that touch the floor in back. or even trail from six to eighteen inches. Some designers have heightened skirts in front as well as back and show indoor frocks that just clear the toes.
 Daytime clothes are another thing. Skirts remain about the same length for sport wear, with an inch or so added by some houses. Street costumes are from one to six inches longer but the average costume will probably not be longer than the top of the calf of the leg.
 Afternoon dresses follow their own sweet lines and may be me dium length, with even hemlines, or elaborately irregular and al- most as long as evening dresses.
 Skirt lengths must be considered in relation to the new silhouettes or general outline of dresses.
 These are Of two general types princess frocks with the waistlinC problem solved by an indetermin- ate joining of skirt and bodice, and the tube or sheath frock with a belt at the normal waiStiine.
 In both types dresses are tightly fitted to a point close to the knee and then flare and develop into longer panels or points. Sometimes the flares are as long in front as they are in back, but the general rule for evening is frocks that are heel lengths in back and clear the floor from two to Is inches in front.
 Belted frocks nearly all show normal waistlines but one or two important designers retain the modified waistline which is raised only an inch or so above the top of the hips, where it was last sea- son.

 Associated Press Feature Writer) WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-Soap the technical military publications of any big nation a decade and more after the close of the world war and two things common to them all will leap to the eye. They are:
 CD That the ghastly cost of that struggle in human casualties was an unforgpttcnable lesson. @ That every power is hoping to avert similar human wastage in future wars through mechanization l of its armies.
 The gasoline engine was the greatest contribution of the age to peaceful human pursuit which saw l it brought to perfection Now, the gas engine is the instrument with which military scientists every where are seeking to cut the blood cost of future wars.
 Whether it be combat ships at sea, or in air, or in tank fleets on land, in means of transport for men or guns or supplies, always the effort to write the lessons of the great war in modern equip ment to meet any future war emer- gency revolves about gas engines.
 France, backing up her powerful air fleets, maintains, ready for in stant service. more than 2,00o tanks. England has spent and is spending millions on army nechan- ization plans. The United States has more than 1000 of these crawling, deadly monsters of the battle field.
 German engineering ingenuity is busy with tank designs, tanks she may not build under the peace treaty and studying anti-tank de- vices. Even Soviet Russia is now straining her overworked automo- tive factories to produce experi- ment land battleship models. In the United States, with the rolling bulwarks of the Atlantic and Pacific to guard from overnight invasion, no effort to modernize the war built tank equipment has been made Instead a dozen or less new designs in fast tanks have been turned out for experimenta- ton.
 The war built tanks are scatter ed with troops. or at army schools, or rusting in dead storage. Mill tary experts rely upon the vast automotive industry of the nation to provide quickly, should need ever rise. fleets of modern tanks to support and lead the battle lines.
