Contrary to the popular i'm
preston. DR.. Hart said, recent
years had not seen an increase
in juvenile delinquency, but,
rather. the larger size Of the
daily newspaper provided mere
space for crime reports, and that
the increased spectacular nature
of crime, due to the automobile
and modern firearms, had drewn
more attention to the problem
than in earlier years.
He assigned as the principal
cause of youthful wrong doing
parental incompetency and ne
glect, and urged greater co-opera-
ton between the school authori,
ties and the home to help con-
troll the child in his formative

Britain's gold standard policy for
India. met with frigid silence to-
day at the State Department.

exchange for 1000 years.
SOO,OOO,OOO Affected
He declared the purchasing
power of nearly 80O,000,000 per-
sons had been drastically lowered,
and that the decline in the price
OF silver throughout the world
during the past two years was one
OF the prime factors producing
and prolonging the present indus

He said that with people grow

When the gold standard was
decreed for India, he said, the

Adoption of the gold policy
in India took place at a time
when other forces were also
undermining and demOralizing
the economic life of these mil
lions of people.
"ThuS, not only were the
poverty and the unfortunate
economic conditions of these

Resolution Buried
Borah's attack followed closely
adoption of a resolution by the
International Chamber of Com

The State Department has in
its archives a Senate resolution
urging President Hoover to call
an international conference of ma
tions interested in the economic
phases of the silver question, and
there it will likely stay buried.
For fear of ruffling the feel
ings of the British, Secretary of
State Stimson has pigeon-holed
the resolution, and he has con-
tinuously discouraged questions
concerning an international con-
ference.

year as last. They were so pretty.

that they won for themselves a

ones OF lame, most brilliantly
colored. supple and soft. These
little jackets sometimes extend

snugly about waist and hips.
Some of them are made of vel

above the normal waist, where
they tie about the body snugly

specially attractive with the more

Furs Come
From AL.
Countries
Sable M Valuable
and Like Mink Comes
from Weasel Type of
AnimaI-Fox in Wide
Variety.

THERE has been more ef-
l. fort spent this season to
devise new and beguiling
ways of using fur, than to in
vent new or seemingly new
types of fur. And there is a
very definite revival of inter
est in the traditional sorts Of
fur, in undisguised forms.
Here are some facts that
you should know about the
usual sorts of fur used this
season.
Sable, known as Russian sable,
the most valuable OF all fur, Is the
peltry OF a weasel type Of animal
not more than four inches long.
II shades from light chcstnut
brown to a deep brown and the
darker the tone the more highly
1t is valued.
Mink, also one OF the precious
furs. Is derived from another
weasel-like animal. IL shades
from light to dark reddish brown
with darker stripes at the center
Of the back.
Baum Marten. still another
weasel fur, is a fine fur that
somewhat resembles sable. The
best baum marten appears in its
natural tones but the lighter. less
valuable skins are sometimes
dyed to initiate sable.
OF the fox furs. silver fox Is
usually most highly valued.
Actually a variety OF red fox. it
is OF a very dark brown with
pointings of single white hairs
strewn among the darker fur.
Cross fox Is another variety OF
red fox. II Is Valued next to
silver fox. and blue fox, and has
black legs and shoulders and a
dark tail tipped with white. Blue
fox is an arctic species Of slate
or drab color. Red fox when un-
dyed has a rich reddish brown
tone. Gray fox ranges from light
to dark gray with tail tipped with
black. Kamchatka fox Is the
finest type OF red fox. a--d kilt fox
Is a less valuable fox OF a light
gray color usually dyed to imi-
tate the nor valuable furs.
White fox Is an arctic species
which Is sometimes dyed to imi-
tate the higher priced varieties.
Good quality squirrel. from
Russia and Siberia, ranks with
the valuable furs. "A clear gray
tone without cast OF brown or
red is most highly priced.
Lynx in its undyed condition
is gray or white with pencils of
black hair on the tips Of the ears
and elsewhere. II is often dyed
a deep black.
Caracul Is really a variety OF
astrakhan which IL derived from
a Russian sheep. The term
astrakhan is applied only to the
peits that have been dyed black,
while caracul is dyed platinum,
sand and other light shades.
Beaver. the best OF which comes
from North America. is one OF
the most durable OF furs. II Is a
dense velvety fur Of a deep soft
brown.
Chinchilla. the finest in texture
OF all fur. is OF a light gray with

TFERE are a dozen ways
i of adding fur to the ward
robe this season to the two
ways that were characteristic
Of the fashion period that has
recently drawn to a close.
Under the former regime
you possessed a fur coat il
you could afford one, or un-
less you had definitely de-
cided that you would rather
do without one.
And you usually had a fur col
lar-possibly cuffs and other
trimmings OF fur-on your winter
coat. But that was about as far
rs you went with your use OF fur.
But this season such ways with
fur only mark the beginnings OF
the ways in which II may be
used.
You may carry a muff. In fact
before the season has advanced
much further you may feel that
1t Is essential TO carry one. You
can't be thoroughly Victorian
without one
You may have one Of the new
pellerines of fat fur TO wear
over your velvet or wool dresses
"a pellerine being a sort Of deep
collar extending over the should
ers and sometimes providing a
vest-like extension of fur down
the front.
You may wear a fur jacket ex-
tending TO the hips or slightly
! below that line.
Your separate fur collar may
be of the conservative on, or
two animal sort TO which we are
accustomed. or II may be in the
form OF a small capelet. very
reminiscent of the 1SS0's and
1905. Or you may wear your
fox in the form OF a lei collar
that slips on over the head and
hangs down at the front like a
Hawaiian flower garland.
You may wear a one-sided little
hat made entirely of light weight
fur. or tabs OF fur may provide
the trimming for a felt or fabric
hat.
Narrow bands OF ermine. sable
or the iapin equivalents OF
these precious furs-may trim
the neckline or form cuffs on
your velvet afternoon dress, and
later in the cas- you may YEA
a pair OF gloves cuffed with fur
10 match the fur trimming Of your
coat or suit.
For evening you ny wear a
fur wrap almost long enough to
cover your gown or one just long
enough TO cover your elbows. and
for daytime you may choose a
coat long enough TO cover the
dress skirt or one Of three-Quarter
length, or you may choose a wrap
of jacket length. Possibly you
may prefer TO ear your fur Law
ishly disposed on a cloth coat.
The fur collar may be ample
enough to cover the entire front
of the wrap above the waist.
Sleeves may be almost entirely
Of fur DR. you may choose one Of

TaHeta Slips

Many OF the sheer wooden
dresses r made with tafeta
slips of matching tone, while oc-
casionally a slip Of contrasting
color IL used 10 give a subtle tone
70 the material. Thus q sheer
brown may be worn over a green
slip and a sheer green over a
brown slip or you may wear dull
brown over Spanish tile or a
sheer black over almost any color
you please.

The darker the sheerer In the
glad word that applies to stock
ings this autumn. And WHEEL we
contemplate a vogue for dark
brown tones and almost black
shades we are referring only 20
stockings sheer enough 70 look
very much lighter when worn
than when folded In the box. For
wear with black velvet dresses
this season you will doubtless
choose black stockings. but they
should be so sheer as merely TO
cast a shadow over the natural
tones OF the skin.

Diagonal Stripes

Diagonal stripes are effective
In many OF the new dresses. or
course only the slim and smart
can wear a dress OF diagonal
stripes smartly. Sometimes these
dresses have the stripes running
all in one direction. downward
from right to left. Sometimes
they have them running one way
on part or the dress. the other
on another part or the dress.

College girls are interested I'm
the Northumberland idea.
There IL a jersey blouse and a
knit blouse, for instance. with
a pleated cloth skirt. both
blouses in color combinations
that go with the skirt.
Wool pull-ons are ideal under
the jacket suit. Very often they
are made iii roundabout stripes,
with round. square or W necks,
in bright color combinations. A
blouse OF orange, red and yellow.
for instance. may be worn with
a brown skirt and jacket. Or one
Of black. gray and orange may be

OF green, gray and yellow may
