THIS summer thank good

of the Standardization of
sports wear. This type of gar
ment, for which Jane Regny
has been so largely responsible,
has served highly useful pur-
pose in the evolution of the
mode. but the everlasting COM
bination of q blouse, q pleated
skirt and a pull-over began to
pail somewhat. After all, only
a certain number of variations
could be rung on that style!
Now. when the increasing wave of
femininity in feminine apparel is al
tering even the time honored tall
leur. we find sports wear very defl-
nitely changing.

Gaping the straight line, which has
been the rule.
Blouses. too, have been steadily
growing gayer and fancier. through
the use of cravat silks, clever lin
gerie touches and a multitude OF
other variations.
But most startling of all is the
whisper brought to us by the mount

This summer is no exception. But

even in this phase of the mode. The

certain a few days ago in connec-
ton with the ]. T. Franklin appli-
cation In Hidalgo county. has APP
parently been put off for years as
a result Of the action OF the Valley

The sentiment OF the meeting
here IA that no legal action be
taken In case the application Of
Franklin Is acted on favorably aft
er his plans are finally submitted.
The reasons for such action were
given as a belief that there is prob
ably no legal recourse whereby
Franklin ear be stopped. as long as
he complies with the requirements
Of his permit.
These requirements are that he
provide an acre foot of storage for
every acre Of land in the section for
which the permit is granted. and
that he use nothing but flood wa
tiers Of the Rio Grande.
