THE search for new mate
rails and new combinations
Of materials goes merrily on.
One never knows these days
what two materials are likely
to turn up deity combined in
the same ensemble.
So, considering the popularity of
embroidery, it was not altogether
unnatural or unexpected that we
should come tO-embroidered furs.
OF course the furs are of the fiat,
short-haired variety, since long
haired furs, such as fox, would
scarcely lend themselves to this
bizarre treatment. They are en-
brOidered in various Ways-some-
times with metal and more often
with color.
OUCH extravagant bits Of en-
- broidery find employment in a
variety Of ways, sometimes being
used for collar and cuffs on trim
taileur, at other times making up
an entire jacquette of a light sum
merry" full with an outdoor ensemble
the dress being of one of those de-
lightful wooden fabrics, which har-
monte we'll with the fur, yet are
eminently practical for summer
wear.
CMALL calf boots for riding are
- taking the place of the classical
riding boots of the past. They are
trim and practical, and are worn
with the breeches falling over them.
DATHING suits that cling to con-
ID tours that can afford to be
chung to are one thing; bathing suits
that cling to else but Natures dow
er should bloom to waste unseen,
etc. - which unfortunately they
mostly don't!
And it would be 10000 easy
so all and very easy, to send a
stamped, self-addressed envelope
to the Dare Department of The
Times for the illustrated leaflet,
which tells how to make a perfect
ly DELIGHTFUL bathing suit
that makes up in chic what it

REFERENDUM PLAN
GIVEN ROOSEVELT
Vets Request New York Cover.
nor Send Plan to Congress

New York. March II P>-A plan
for the submission Of the prohibit
ton question to public referendum,
with provision for a form OF state
OPTION has been presented to Gov
crnor Roosevelt with the request
that he recommend it TO congress.
The plan made public today was
drawn by Edward 4. Alexander, a
New York attorney, and has the en-
dorsement of Senator E. I. Edwards
Of New Jersey. whose proposal along
similar lines was defeated in con-
gress.
Quoting article I of the bill Of
rights granting the people the prlvi-
lege 'pcaceably to assemble and to
petition to government for redress,
Alexander proposes a national citi-
zen. convention of two representa-
tive business men from each congress
ional district who after discussion OF
prohibition would petition congress
that the question OF repeal or modi-
tication be submitted TO the people.
Alexander also suggests that a
Joint resolution be introduced in
congress for submission Of a repeal
proposal OF state conventions where
elected delegates would vote 'in ac-
cOrdance with the second method Of
ratification provided for in article Y
OF the United States constitution
states voting for repeal would be
permitted to control liquor under a
system similar to that of Quebec.
While the citizens convention is
in progress and the Joint resolution
is before congress. Alexander would
have broader powers given authori-
ties TO enforce evcn-handed justice
for all classes, including those who
patronlze bootleggers. the farmer,
the householder and tenant who now
exercise their privilege of making
and drinking home brew or consum-
ing some OF their private stock, and
they would then be affected by pro-
hihition the same as are the middle
and poorer classes, such as clerks,
mechanic, Workmen and others
Local committees to uproot or
gained crime "fostered by the
eighteenth amendment are also
suggested.

MUSS0LINI WANTS
ITALIAN YES.MEN
Urges Vote for Government IN
Coming National Election

Rome, March II R-ltaly hailed
today the prophecy of Premier Mus
solini that the future fruits OF the
Fascist regimes action In making
possible the Lateran treaty with the
Vatican would be even richer than
they are today.
The prophecy was made IN the
course OF forty minute speech be-
fore the quinquennial assembly OF
all the forces Of the Fascist state.
He concluded his speech with the
appeal, You and the people will
vote yes at the coming election, The
brief monosyllable will show the
world that Italy is Fascist and Fas-
cism is Italy"
The premier then left the stage,
his chin held high. amidst thunder
GUS applauses from more than 5000
assembled to hear him.
In his speech Premier Mussolinl
refused to predict the future policy
of the regime, preferring that tina,
should be announced by the king
in the speech from the throne al
the opening of the 2Sth Legislature
April % on the eve Of the anniver'
sary of the foundation of Rome.
Touching upon the Lateran treaty
he said either side was victor and
neither vanquished in the settle
ment. 1t merely remedied a situa-
ton which had grown dangerous
I and irksome," he said.
He pointed out that the Holy See
recognized the house of Savoy as the
ruling house in Italy, while the 1tal-
ian state recognized the sovereignty
of the Pontiff and the Holy See
which had already existed de facto.
Italy Wants Peace
Besides this pronouncement I
Duce took occasion to reiterate The
peaceful intentions of Italy. He
pointed with pride however to the
reorganization of the army and it,
new morale.
In former times" he said. "youne
conscripts went to their barrack:
grumbling. Now they march there
with light step, singing Giovinez'

The speech left no field of ma.
tional activity untouched. Grea'
stress was laid upon development O,

claimed was far in advance of any.
