ST0CKINGLESS STYLES
 H0RRIFY HOSE MAKERS
French Manufacturers May Launch Drive for Fancy Effects to
 Regain Lost Trade

Paris, Aug. 15-Hosiery manuiAc~ turers should be worried, and they are.
 If the stockingless style and long skits continue to popularize them selves at their present rate of speed 1t is only matter of time until hosiery makers are taking in their sails.
 Helen Wills championship of the barelesged tennis style seems to have set the match to the fireworks. Not that bare legs are new in France, where a large portion of country dwelling women go stock ingless during the hot months.
 But the fashionable sport set is now leaving them of by day and covering them up by night, and hosiery ma Aufacturers find that a little too much to cope with. They may be expected to launch an of fensive soon for fancy effects which will compel the well dressed woman to devote more thought and money to her stockings.
 Even the evening dresses eX- hibited in the popular price stores on the Paris boulevards are down to touch-toe lengths now. Some times there are draped skirts which allow occasional glimpses of silk stocking. but on the whole the dresses being sold to the genera public have long fiounces front as | well as back.

survey maps made by the state. In several instances the state claims property over which front rooms are located. Having been assured by the state officials that there will never be a claim made for this property, but at the same time having been warned that under no circumstances may new houses be built over the building line on the street, property owners feel that there will be no widening of the road through this town.
 Therefore it has been proposed that q highway be constructed on the eastern ridge, taking all heavy truck traffic and through carsc from he center of the town. The road as staked out by the surveyors several years ago would be a direct continu- alton of the new strip of highway near the Becklcy crossing bridge. | The road would meet with the orig inal pike again near the Bruce farm in the southern part of the town. crossing the East Berlin road on the flats or possible at the top of Caesars hill.
 For some reason, never clearly i defined, the town of Berlin was laid out without a green on the main | street. Most New England towns | have greens and these have been sacrificed to may way for the wid- ened road. Worthington Ridge Is not wide enough for the houses to be set back without being put over the sad dle of the ridge.
 Whether or not there will be d road as laid out is question that is very much in doubt, but residents , of the town hope that some day there will be one, relieving the traf- tic conditions in the street and les sening the danger of accidents at the intersections with the two cross roads, the New Britain and the Mid dletoWn road.
 And incidentally land in the read of the houses will jump in value, turning from pasture land into very attractive building lots: One local resident is already said to be buying up this property in anticipation of the building of second highway.

HOoSier Big Ten Rivals to
End Season Before
Record Crowd.
CLOSE TILT EXPECTED
End Workouts in
Memorial Stadium.

BB Times Special
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Nov. o.
Indiana university has become the
mecca for Hoosier sports on the eve
of the annual grid battle between
the states traditional Big Ten rivals
Purdue and Indiana, which will take
place in Indiana Memorial stadium
Saturday afternoon.
Indiana is the only obstacle be-
tween Purdue and its goal-a claim
TO the national title. In defeating
Iowa last Saturday, Purdue won
the Western Conference champion
ship and maintained its clean slate
Saturdays game between the an
Gent rivals promises to be more hot
ly contested than ever before. In
diana's win over Northwestern, 49,
IA, last Saturday, sent Hoosier hopes
for a victory over Purdue soaring.
But Purdue continues as favorite.
The two teams were to hold light
workouts this afternoon in Memorial
stadium and were to leave Bloom
ington to spend the night in neigh
boring cities.
Coach Phelan of Purdue was wor-
ried slightly today about injuries to
his linemen Red Sleight, one of the
best tackles in the middle west, was
suffering from an injured shoulder,
and George Van Bibber and Lewis
Miller, two other linemen, were
carrying painful bruises, but all
were expected to start. Their in
juries are only minor, but may prove
n handicap.
Page pronounced his Hoosiers in
good shape.
A holiday spirit prevailed here ~
day as the campus and city made
final preparations for the record
crowd OF the season which will pack
Memorial stadium.
Ticket Manager L. L. Fisher an
nounced that temporary bleachers
probably would accommodate all late
Corners. Probable starting lineup:
