CHANGE In CITY PAVING
SPECIFICATIONS URGED
Use of Kentucky Rock Asphalt
Is Proposed.

No immediate street paving speci-
f1cations change to permit use of
Kentucky Rock asphalt is contem-
plated by the city administration,
A. H. Moore, city engineer, said
today.
Substitution of the Kentucky Rock
for brick as a paving material would
not bring about reduction in cost
or improve character and durability
of pavements, Moore said.
Most of the materials now speci-
fed are made in indianapolis or In
diana. Other products under con-
sideration are manufactured outside
of Indiana and furnished by other
than Indiana firms" Moore de-
clared.

MA In the Sixth century B. O., says
an article In the Pathfinder Magazine.
The laws Of the Modes and Persians
often are referred to AZ a type Of

sages In the Bible. Daniel 6:8 says:

 The first style premiere, Jean r&tou's opening, showed q compro- mise between the extreme demands fer curtailmcnt of skirts by Amcri- an girls, and the original proposal Is ,' the French fashion experts, which were for "heavy armament"
 As a result, legs will be seen in Inc morning and afternoon, but will ho swathed in the evening. The official skirt limits arc: Afternoon dresses. l5 inches above the floor; sports clothes, : inches above the ground: evening gowns to the .yound. with an occasional tivc-foot train.

 Modest Bathing Suits
 The most startling innovation, however. is the introduction of cX- tremcly modest bathing suits, which give the feminine beach habitue the appearance of prinl boarding school miss.
 One of Paris most prominent dressmakers has made an even more striking compromise than M. Patou. Dresses of six lcngths-likc the six styles of warships proposed by l'rance-are prepared. As the shad- UW5 grow longer, so do the dresses
