WHAT'S IN FASHION?-
New 'Dressmaker' Shoes

NEW YORK, Oct. 7.-Certainly
~ it would take more than the
seven-league boots Of fairy tales to
straddle the difference between the
first footwear of which we have any
historic record and today's fashion
able feminine slippers.
They're farther apart than the
two poles. Not only in their actual
construction. but in their purpose as
well. Farther apart than ever since
the advent Of the new "dressmaker'
shoe.
In the beginning men and women
put on foot covering solely for pro-
lection and shoes were merely rough
wrappings of animal hides laced to-
gether with thongs. This was in the
north.
South, in Egypt, the sandal was
worn, with a thick sole to protect
the foot from burning sands, the top
left open to sun and air.
Modern Shoes Decorative
Today a woman's shoe has to do
more than protect. It's part of her
costume ensemble and has to be
decorative, too.
For some time now, shoes have
been getting more decorative. And
now there's this "dressmaker" shoe,
which is the name given to shoes
trimmed in the new smart way.
That means trimmed delicately,
in the same fine ways that custom
made shoes are trimmed.
It means, too, that the trim is
akin to the fine finish on costumes
made by the expert dressmaker,
with their hand-rolled hens, care
fully finished seams and fine details
of hand work.
Trimming Not Obvious
There's nothing obvious or con-
spicuous about these new dress
maker trims. The trim isn't the
first thing you notice when you look
at the shoe :. . not something
Just stuck on" 1t fits into the
line and scheme of the shoe and
seems a necessary part of it. And
probably you'd notice if the trim
weren't there.
You'll recognize this dreSsmaker
touch in the narrow strippings, fine
pipings and delicate appliques OF
contrasting feathers.
Sometimes they follow the basic |
lines of the shoe, like a narrow COL
lar or a piping along the seams.
But sometimes they make little
design of their own :. a bow knot |
on the side or little scroll design.
Stitchings are used in the same way,
too.
ScaIlOped Strippings
Some of the strippings are
scalloped finely, and some are
pinked. And some of the tips on
new shoes are pinked on instead
of being applied straight.
One of the smart uses of
stitching is in multi-rows and in
contrasting color. These rows
suggest the tip and quarter and |
sometimes even continue around the |
collar. Sometimes straps are stitched |
all over.
Shiny feathers and rough feathers
are especially good in the strippings
and piping and appliques. Opales-
cent kid is. one of them-used in
beige or brown shades on brown |
shoes and in gunmetal on black.
Patent is another shiny leather
used to trim formal strap shoes and |
pumps. Lizard is used in small |
quantities and pinseal is another
rougher leather that makes smart |
trimming.
And all this addition of fine,
delicate detail makes the new shoes |
look just right with the new fall
costumes.

Suede Lace Newest

A lace evening dress is a practical
as well as smart fashion. It doesn't
have to be pressed. (And that
makes it great for week-ending)
The very newest lace is called suede
lace" because of the velvety look the
solid parts of the lace have.

Recommended estimates of the

ZANORA' s NOTE
TO POPE WAITED

MADRID. May 16 GN.s).-
All of Spain today anxiously
awaited the reply of provisional
President Nigete Alcala Zamora
to the Papal Nuncio Federico Te-
deschini, who protested in behalf
of the Vatican against the recent
anti-Catholic disorders and the
burning Of church properties.
Zamora's reply was seen as fix
ing the future attitude of the
State toward the church. Either
an apology for the occurrences or
the severance of relations with
the Holy City were seen as his
alternatives.
Although the government yes
terday considered the possibility
of expelling the Jesuits from the
country, priests and nuns who
were forced to flee before the
wrath Of the mobs were returning
to their churches, monasteries,
and converts as feeling against
them subsidized.

CUSTER Of COP
IS SUSTAINED
Photo by International

Policeman Ardie C. Swortzel,
Of the Fourth precinct, was or.
dered dismissed by the District
Commissioners today as the re-
suit Of charges which grew out
Of a scandal which shook the
Police Department more than a
year ago.
The policeman appealed the
finding Of the Police Trial Board
that he was guilty of charges of
conduct prejudicial to the de-
partment, but the Commissioners
overruled his plea.
The charges grew out Of a visit
made by Swortzel, James Crotts
and John C. Elgin to a reputed
disorderly house at 1922 First st.
N. W., in March, 1880, which was
climaxed by the shooting OF
CrottS.
Rose Marie Foster, occupant Of
the First Street house, charged
the three attempted to obtain
hush" money from her. She
left the house and called Detec-
tives William F. Burke and S. F.
Gravely. In an attempt to escape
CrottS was shot and seriously
wounded by GraVely.

PACT DEFENSE
STIRS BRAND
CurtiuS Tells Geneva Farley
Customs Treaty Is Needed
to Rescue Central Europe

GENEVA, May 16 G.N.SD-
The long anticipated diplomatic
duel between M. Aristide BRAND
and Herr Julius Curtius, foreign
ministers respectively of France
and Germany, over the proposed
AuStro- German customs union
opened here today at the meeting
Of the commission on the fedora
ton of Europe.
The first round ended in a draw
when, after listening to speeches
by the two foreign ministers, the
commission took a temporary re-
cess until late today.
CurtiuS Scores Point
Herr Curtius made a spirited de-
fense Of the projected customs
union, declaring that in such an
agreement lies the only hope for
alleviating the present economic
crisis in middle Europe. He was
conceded to have scored an impor-
tant point when he stated: =
Germany is ready to enter
into an unilateral or pIurilateraI
customs accord with any cOun-
try Or group Of countries"
BRAND retorted that the pro-
posed customs union would bring
only trouble for the peoples,e and
urged that it be abandoned.
He added:
"The fundamental cause Of
economic ills can be traced to
nations, working separately in.
stead of cO-Ordinately.
To-day, more than ever, II is
important to avoid anything
which alarms nations.
"The real problem is much
more vast than mere customs,
which are an effect rather than
a cause of economic troubles.
France admits of separate agree
ments conforming with existing
treaties, but decries others"

SESSION
IS DEMANDED

With organized labor threaten.
ing strikes to prevent wage re-
ductions and the American Le-
gion pleading for a conference
Of business leaders to end de-
preston, the insurgent bloc on
Capitol Hill today renewed its
demand for an extra session Of
Congress.
The Insurgents, led by Sen
ators La Toilette (R) of Wis
consin and Brookhart (R0 of
Iowa declared the cycle of de-
preston was continuing in full
force with no sign of business re-
covery in sight.
They pointed to the complaint
Of the American Federation Of
Labor that some industries were
adding to depression by SlaShing
wages, and to the action Of the
American Legion in urging an
economic conference as indica-
tive of the seriousness Of the
situation.
Senator King CD of Utah,
minority member of the Senate
Finance Committee, meanwhile be-
gan drafting a new tax bill. pro-
posing Federal taxes on gifts and
estates, along with an increase
in income taxes on the higher
brackets.
Senator King declared the Gov
ernment, facing q billion dollar
deficit this year and possibly the
same next year, would be forced
to raise taxes at the next session
Of Congress.

Dry Violator to Pay
Federal Court Fine
In InStalmentS

NEW ORLEANS, May 16.
The installment plan has ex-
tended even to the Federal
courts.
william Ruhl was found
guilty of bootlegging and fined
5000. He explained to Federal
Judge Wayne G. Borah that
since his arrest he had stopped
bootlegging and gone into the
dairy business, and as he had
spent all his money for COWS,
he could not pay the fine.
So the judge decided he
could pay it on the installment
plan, $40 sthe first of every
month. Ruhl agreed to make
the payments promptly and
left the court to go home and
milk his cows.
