Silhouettes. to Have Long Limbed Look - Waist lines to Be Where Nature Placed, Them - Hats to Be Generally Small.
BY ADELAIDE KERR

New York, Aug. 25 LP-Women's winter wardrobes are crystallizing into clearer curves than last years mode ever knew.
 Style surveyors and fashion de- signers have labored successfully over the perplexing problems Of line and length which worried ~lVes last winter.
 The hemline, so uneven in 1929, has found it's place-a place that gives but scant concern to its dis tance from theN floor. It measures Itself, instead by milady's leg.
 ''The length of women's skirts this year must depend on woman's height" Says Amos Parrish, fashion counselor for many American stores. Tt will vary with the woman and with the costume she wears. Clothes for practical town wear tweed dresses, suits and such, should strike the upper curve of the calf Sports frocks will be worn two inches below the back bend of the knee, while formal afternoon frocks Strike the lower curve Of the calf, and even gowns swirl about the instep."
 Long-Limbed Siihouettes
 The fall silhouette, according to Mir. Parrish; is going to have a long -limbed look Waistlines are indicated where nature placed them, hips are generally fiat and skirts hang straighter than they did last year. The bell-like skirt of 1929 is giving way to one which flares less at the sides and releases more ot its fullness in front. Hemlines arc generally even.
 Tunics, generally belted and vary ing from hip length to within thre- or four inches of the hemline, ant boleros. real or simulated by tuckS and bands, are a definite part oi the r-inter mode. Daytime froch' will be generally dark in hue-black dark brown, bottle green and win red frightened by white or ligh
 Coats to Fit Waists
 Goats themselves will have ; dress look" says MT. Parrish They're fashioned .of soft sns~etf materials. marked by seamin, straight or diagonal and often de signed with boused or bolero backs Generally they fit at the waist an; flare a bit at the bottom. Most in portant of all, Nthey have a wid wrap around effect.
 Most of them are richly furred Fox, Persian lamb and fiat caracu are perhaps fhe favorites. Blacl coats will be particularly popular and they are trimmed with fur that make softer harmonies instea of the sharp contrasts of last win ter.

AS MAINE GOES,
so GOES NATION
BRANDED ERROR
Result of Election Held in
Pine Tree State Is
No Barometer.

Bv ScrgDps- Howard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-That
old political bromide, AS Maine
goes in September, so goes the ma
ton in November" at last has been
exploded.
Scientific analysis Of every off,
car election in Maine since 1874
has established that the states po-
iiticaI sentiment bears little rela-
ton TO the country at large, and
is no mere reliable as a barometer
OF national opinion than would be
early returns from Arkansas or
Mississippi.
The study was made by Professor
Claude E. Robinson of Columbia
university. under auspices of the
Council for Research in the Social
Sciences. Publication of the con-
illusions today is especially timely
in view of the Maine election Mon
day.
The old formula has been re-
peated religiously by Republican
managers for almost half century.
BY studiously building up the now
discredited slogan until 1t was ac-
cepted widely by the unthinking as
a valid maxim of political conduct,
the G. o. P. propagandists time
and again turned the normal Re-
publican victory in one of the safest
Republican states in the Union into
an achievement" exerting marked
influence upon national psychology
during the two pivotal campaign
months following.
Political observers have recog-
nized for years that the Maine bal
lvhoo was a mere device Of cam
paign propaganda, but never before
has it been characterized as such by
an impartial body Of reputable So
cial science scholars.
Tests of the Maine barometer,
covering the period from 1874 to
1926" the report says, "show that
in off-year congressional elections
there is very little relationship be-
tween Republican strength regis
tered at the Maine fallot box in
September and the ability of the
Republican party to gather votes
throughout the nation in November.
Amy forecast of the party COM
plexion Of the next house Of rep
resentatives, based on the outcome
of the Maine election Monday, is
likely to involve wide error"

As It is now, the Police Depart

cause no funds are available to

LOCAL THUNDER
SHOWERS NOT
IN SIGHT
Drought Promises to Remain,
Though Cloudy Skies Should
Make Folks Comfortable

The meteorologist attached to
the local Weather Bureau said
today that he can see no break
in the drought nor can he see
any break in the heat wave either
for today or tomorrow. He was
positive that his map shows not
even local thunder showers dur
ing the next two days.
He said the forecast Is for
partly cloudy skies, both today
and tomorrow, with no change in
the temperature.
Today is hotter than it was
yesterday by five degrees, but the
heat is made more bearable due
to the fact that the humidity is
lower than it was yesterday. The
Weather Man handed out little
balm by saying that the humidity
win drop late this afternoon when
the mercury in the official ther-
nometer is expected to reach its
peak for the day.
The official thermometer reg
istered SO degrees at 9 o'clock
this morning. which is degrees
higher than at the same hour
yesterday.
Although the thermometer did
not reach the 100 mark yesterday,
