Washington Fashions
By WILMA LAVMLE

Patou is famous for his sense
of color, and nearly every sea-
son he brings out two or three
tones that have a strong in
fluence on our color trends for
the next several months. His
August collection was no disap-
pointment. He brought out
three stunning shades that are
already widely adopted. They
are called his Persian colors
and are gold, a rosy geranium
and a lovely yellowish green.
Good for Accent
The yellow and the rose are
used mostly for accent colors.
and the three colors together
are splendid with either black
or brown. But the green has
taken hold as a color for
dresses too, and we find some
very smart dresses in the Wash
ington stores already in Patou'S
Persian green. 1t is good in
both silk and sheer wool, and
may be combined cleverly with
coat and accessories Of either
black or brown.
On Slim Lines
The dress we have sketched
today is of canton crepe in this
new green. It's lines are as
distinguished as its color. The
neckline that crosses way over
is copied from Vionnet, and
the tied sash is new detail.
The sleeves are equally inter
esting with a barrel effect
made of four puffs. These
puffs are so cleverly cut that
you can scarcely tell how they
are made. and they make the
tight cuff look tighter than ever.
The skirt section is beautifully
fitted to-, as it is cut on, the
bias. This same dress is avail
able in other colors and in

HEARST VIEWS.

Massachusetts Senator Is
Impressed by Publishers
Plan to Fight Depression

BOSTON, Sept. Is USJ'
Massachusetts, statesmen and
leaders today voiced their praise
for the views of william Ran
dolph Hearst as expressed by
him in his radio broadcast on
Saturday night following his re-
cent visit to Europe.
Among those who lauded Mr.,
Hearst's address was United
States Senator David I. Walsh,
who declared:
INF. Hearst's statement il
one that every American should
read, and that every American
official should accept rs one Of
the most impressive and states
manlike utterances made dNr-
ing the present economic crisis.
Impressive Lesson
"Mr. Hearst's observations
on European conditions and
the lesson that America should
draw from these conditions Is
most interesting and impres-
Sive. / agree in almost every
detail with his sentiments. He
very directly pointed out the
unanSwerable objection to the
dole when he calls IL q pOliti-
cal pension. A cash subsidy, II
adopted here, will prove. as i'm
England. disastrous.
His suggestions to increase
employment by reducing the
working hours to give aid to the
unavOidably unemployed i'm food
and shelter instead Of cash are
sound and sane and should be
our political policy in dealing
with the present situation"
McCOrmick'S Views }
Representative John w. McCor-
mick:
II agree with Mr. Hearst's
views rs expressed i'm his radio
address on his return from
Europe. This spending Of Amer.
lean money abroad to establish
business to compete with our
own will uItimat ,ly result Sc
riUuSIy to our own labor Situa-
tiOn.
"Mr. Hearst hac again shown
his intense love of his country
by 0nveying . message which
stands for America first and
his recognizing the dangers of
internatiOnaliSRm."
Representative William P
Conner5:
II am absolutely in accord
with Mr.. Hearst'S reiteratiOn
Of his call for . $4,000, zoo, 900
peace loan to give our country
employment and prosperity.
Also his warning to as to keep
out Of Europe politically and
financially. Again Mr.. Hearst
comes to the fore as q great

An End to the Sneer>

At another play noticed the decline of another en-
thusasm, and glad of it mean the enthusiasm
for sneerng at America. Five years ago almost any
play which razzed America had good chance; if it
made fun of pompous Senator's the rackets of pub
lcity the fooshness of the peasants from the hick
towns, New York took it to its silly bosom. The
present play deals with the stupid prominence we give
to people who do unnecessary things; the flagpole
sitters and rocking chair champions and marathon
dancers.
1t makes fun of passion for records firsts ex-
cesses of all kinds; of the way give these people
time on the radio and keys to the city, of the way they
exploited by advertisers and taken into the movies
1t perfectly legitimate and yet The Man on Stts
as it is called becomes bore because we are heartily
tired of the sneer.
Even George Jean Nathan has at last come round
and announces that "since all now duly and
perfectly aware that America has its full share of
Rotarians Kiwanians and Ku Kluxers not to mention
the Anti-Saloon League, the w. C. T. u. the Y M.
c. A, the D.. A. r. and the Methodist Board of Tenn
perance, Prohibition and Public Morals we may as
well stop harplng on the subject"
For all the good the harpers have DONE they might
as well not have begun. Business men and wowsers
are natural objects of satire so are dramatiss and
critics. And the continued attack on the Rabbits
showed lack of sound sense, because the Rabbits
took the attack in better part than any artist has ever
taken an attack on art.

Warning Is Issued After Probe of
Explosion Fatal to Custodian.

warning ID AoouCO AAASNA -
Explosion Fatal to Custodian.
Warning that all boilers OF doubt
full safety should be inspected i'm
mediately was issued today by
George r. Popp Jr., city combustion
engineer, today after probing an
explosion that killed custodian
and injured woman critically early
Wednesday.
After inspecting wreckage at the
Avalon apartments, 244 East Tenth
street, Popp advanced two possible
theories for the accident that killed
John Tiller, Negro, SIS, of 1904 Gar
field place, custodian.
"The blast would not have hap
pened, I believe, if that boiler had
had safety valve operating prop
erly. 1t also is possible that the
boiler was empty of water, due to
a defective water feed" Popp said.
Examination of the debris was
difficult because the force of the
blast had wrecked the boiler room
so completely.
