Seen On 5th Ave,
BY Florence Ross

The seasons h~ighlights, as re-
ported by a well-known authority on
fashions who has just returned from
Paris: Low placed knife pleats on
suits; capes, instead Of Jackets. in
ensembles; the back dipping line so
popular or dresses has been adopted
by coats; for evening the short, fur
trimmed jacket; also for evening the
flat crepe evening ensemble with
coat and dress In different colors; a
new fabric-elastic-like tulle: ruff
files at the neck: scarf collars of
organdie.
For several seasons now design
ers have attempted to pcpularize the
three-quarter length sleeve. Smart
Parisians tried it. then decided it
was awkward and u~nflattering. Still
designers persisted. But with no
better results. So that now they
have introduced a sleeve that termi-
mates just above the wrist. This has
been seen to advantage on soft
frocks of crepe.
An attractive coat that illustrates
the down-in-the-back movement is of
almond green wooden cloth and well.
fitted around the hips and bodice.
1t is trimmed with a squirrel collar
while the sleeves have just a little
band Of the same material fastened
with A nickel buckle.

one is to use q dry powder preparation for
cleansing the hair and scalp, the results are the
same.
There are a number Of prepared powder
shampoos, as well as orris root and almond meal
which may be made at home. This latter prepa-
ration rids the hair of all oil and lint in a most
satisfactory manner Then, too, ordinary corn
meal may be used, either alone or with almond
meal.
However, before undertaking such a pro-
cedure, it is advisable to brush the hair and
massage the scalp. If any noticeable dandruff
has adhered to the scalp, a fne-toothed comb
should be used to loosen the accumulation, then
the hair should be brushed again.

"City folks" who habitually stay

Question Mark" This aeropIane was attempt

air the longest possible time. AS a matter of
fact, it did break the record, remaining in fight
more than $50 hours.
The problem was how to get the necessary
gasoline. To solve this two methods were used.
The first was to increase the tank capacity. This
was done by cutting down the passenger and
cargo carrying space.
The second method was to fuel in the air.
They succeeded in having other planes approach
