NAVY EXPECTED.
To URGE WAGE
BOARD END
Labor Groups Back Plan to
Suspend Session This Year;
Block to Pay Cuts Seen

The Navy Department probably
will support the recommendation
of the Personnel Classification
Board that the Departmental
Wage Board, which has fixed
wage scales for civilian employees
of the department for more than
80 years, be abolished.
The Navy'S decision not to con-
vene the wage board this year IS
one in which the labor groups IN.
vOlved heartily concur.
To organized labor this decision
means there will be no reduction
of wages for skilled workers IN
the navy yards for another year
at least.
New Regime Seen
For the Navy Department 1t
may mean the beginning of a
new regime in the management
of its civilian workers.
The Personnel Classification
Board wants to assume this juris-
dictiOn, so far as the fixing OF
civilian Navy yard and shore sta
ton wages is involved.
1t has embodied this plan in its
recommendations relating to field
classification to be submitted to
Congress next December.
Decision Meets Favor
N. P. Alifas, head of the Federal
machinists' organization, declared
today that the decision not to con-
vene the wage board this year
was in line with the policy of his
group.
He added, however. that the
unionized workers in the Navy
yards had not yet taken action
upon the plan to abolish the board
entirely, and to supplant it with
board appointed by and subject
to the Personnel Classification
Board,

CUSTER CALLED

This is an affrOnt to free
speech which scholars cannot
afford to ignore"
Thus does DR.. James Harvey

at Yale and member of President
Hoover's committee on recent
economic changes, characterize
the firing" of DR.. Ray o. Hall
from his post as statistic econ
omist in the Department of Com
merce.
Inquiry Looms
The support given by DR.. Rog
ers to his ousted colleague ap-
pears to be the opening gun of
campaign which may render
valueless one of the leading an
nual reports of the Department
of Commerce--the report on the
Balance of International Pay
mentS," which DR.. Hall says has
been "doctored" in its customs
valuations.
A Congressional investigation
has been threatened and the en-
tire scientific world may rally to
the support of DR.. Hall in seeking
vindication from the charges of
'inSubordination" which led to
his dismissal.
Won't Enter u. S. Service
DR.. Rogers made this final
statement:
Scholars of standing will re.
fuse to enter the Government
service If this case is permitted
to stand as an example of how
they are to be treated. Able
men of integrity will not work
for the Government IL the re-
suits Of their labor are to be
censored, suppressed, or dis .
tOrted."

Brown Dress Calls
For Brown Shoe.

Brown shoes are becoming more
and more a matter of necessity
and less something that you may
choose il you wish to do so. No
one ever thinks OF wearing black
shoes with a brown dress nova
days Is they might have done in
the days when black shoes were
the most usual sort Of street shoes
for cooler weather. Now you
must have brown shoes IL you
wear a brown suit or dress or
coat, and the chances are that
you will choose brown shoes 10 go
with your green costumes too -
unless there il a distinct accent
Of black in the trimming OF the
green dress or unless you have
decided 10 wear the new very
dark green shoes.
You may choose a pair Of high
heeled Oxfords OF dark brown
suede. or a pair Of straight heeled
Oxfords OF brown suede with ALI
gator. Pumps too show a combina-
ton of brown suede and alligator
and there r pumps that com
bine brown suede with brown pat
ent leather.
One Of the smart shoe shops
shows pumps made with upstand-
ing tongues and large colonial
buckles-a type Of shoe that
would have been out OF the ques-
tion with really short skirts but
which al be worn I good effect
with the boot-top or a~nkle-length
afternoon dress.
And just because skirts are
longer don't imagine that you can
give less thought 10 your shoes
and stockings. We are a long, long
way from skirts that actually hide
the stockings and shoes and the
present skirt lengths are every bit
u exacting rs the shorter skirts
that are entirely out Of date.
There Is every indication that
very sheer stockings will be even
moro in demand among well
dressed women now thai ever be-
fore and oddly enough the coming
Of cool weather seems TO increase
the demand for stockings OF cob

IN fashion. :
The front of your frock
may be important but the
burden Of the trimming is at
the back of many of the
smartest new dresses. It's
new to us but it is an old
Victorian custom that was
especially in evidence in the
era of the hustle.
Lanvin, for instance, has
designed a dress that buttons
up the back from the neck to
to the waist, where a prim
little sash joins it to the skirt,
showing a tier of four ruffles.
Louiseboulanger puts hustle
puffs on evening dresses cut down
to the waist line at the back and
Lucille Paray makes an evening
dress of velvet that Is shirred up
from the knees to waistline with
a narrow straight panel at the
back.
There is not necessarily any
consistency about this modern use
Of hustle effects. II may appear
on : dress with sleeves and other
details OF an entirely different
period. Our modern hustle
dresses are decidedly eclectic -
and therein lies their charm.
Bustle drapery Is not the only
detail that emphasizes the backs
Of our frocks.
Many OF the new evening
dresses are made with a very low
back decolletage, emphasized with
flowers at the point OF the V. And
with these low-back evening
dresses sometimes necklaces are
worn hanging down at the back.
with pendants hanging on the
spine.
Other evening dresses with lace
berthas and collars. though they
are not SC low at the back. still
emphasize the back decolletage.
The collar looks, to old-fashioned
eyes, as IL it were on backward.
But II isn't. of course. It's just
that the new mode requires that
ou- backs be as well dressed as
on: fronts.

Are Women Snobs7

II may seem unfair to say that
women are more likely to be
snobs than men. Still such seems
TO be the case. When a man
makes rapid strides on the social
ladder II is usually because Of
some marked native ability on his
part, even though that ability be
nothing more than that of making
money. And the very fact that he
Is a man Of ability usually implies
that he Is a maj of broad vision.
that he understands human nature
to a certain extent and that at
least he is shrewd enough not to
be fooled by the false standards
that he may find in the social
circles in which he finds himself
placed. But a large-mirded wo-

Imports Are
Quickly Copied Here

Nowadays we don't have 10 20
to Paris to get French dresses.
In fact we don't even have TO pay
the price of an imported model
to get a dress that is stamped
with the Individuality of Vionnet,
Augustabernard, Patou. Maggy
Rouff. Regny. Lelong. Paquin or
any OF the other famous French
c%outuriers. Because American
dressmakers manage to get the
new French creations almost as
soon as they are on display in
Paris and reproduce them with
lightning speed to be sold in our
favorite department stores or
dress shops. And the only differ
ences worth noting between the
French originals and the Ameri-
can reproductions are certain
adaptations to suit American
taste or slight changes in the pro-
portions necessary to suit Ameri-
can figures.
With hats it is the same. You
don't have to 90 TO Paris TO get a
real French chapeau. You can
stay home and wait unit! the day
comes TO wear a new hat and then
go TO the millinery department Of
your favorite store or your own
favorite millinery shop and pick
of a hat that bears all the ear
marks OF an original by Rose Des-
cat. Agnes. Maria Guy. or Re-
boux.
In some OF the stores you may
if you like buy an original impor-
tation jus: for the satisfaction you
may get of paying several times
what a just as satisfactory repro
duction would cost, and in some
stores you may have a hat made
to order reproducing an original
that you admire.
