Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

An advertisement for the new
woolens that will be so smart
this fall reads, "A little wild
end very woody" This applies
to some Of the new fall coats
for they are all very woody
though the best Of them are
not very wild. They combine
the best features Of last sea-
sons coats with q few added
details. and they are absolutely
practical and wearable.
Diagonal Worsted
The coat we have had
sketched today is typical of the
better sports coats without fur.
that you will see throughout
fall. The fabric is decidedly
wooly, but by that we do not
mean fleecy or nappy. It is a
diagonal worsted that is COM
paratively smooth and very soft
in texture. You may buy this
coat in either black and white
or in brown and tan. With the
black coats comes a scarf of
Scotch plaid Worsted in black
and white, and with the brown
coats. the scarf is in brown
and orange, a striking color
effect. The coat is beautifully
fitted through the body, slim
in the hips and flaring almost
impercepti5ly below. The double
breasted effect is smarter than
ever, especially for sports wear
and the enormous rever collar
may be worn ether high or
low.

Water In River
Extremely Low

Undisturbed by the preparations
of mere man to throw harness
across its shoulders, the mighty"
Colorado maintains a placidity this
spring that is not paralleled in the
last 30 years.
Usually running wild at this time
of year and in the early weeks Of
summer, its mud-laden waters
sweep ward as calmly and
peacefully as any brook painted by
an artists brush.
And while the construction crews
at Boulder Canyon swarm along its
banks this giant OF other years
doZes unimpressed
Only $1,000 second feet of water
are passing the big steel highway
bridge at Yuma this week. And far
upstream in Grand Canyon, the
government gauges record but 1900
second feet, which assures those
who know the lower river that for
another 10 days at least there will
be no angry protests from the
sleepy stream.
AT Andrade, however, the river
division crews are fully prepared
for an emergency call that will send
them down the levees into Mexico,
should the Colorado suddenly arouse
itself and pour out one of its ia
nous or infamous floods.

Headed by hdolph Menjou, an
excellent supporting cast includes
Leila Hyams, Norman Foster, Mary

young wife, madly in love with her
husband, who finds him apparently
unfaithful. The young wife goes
to woman charmer who had pre-
viousiy tried to make love to her,
hoping to shock her husand into his

erything is Strengthened out.
Menjou, as the golfing champion
who is a Don Juan on the side, has
an especially clever role.

DEFENSE ENTERS
NON-SUIT MOTION
in DAMAGE CASE

Arguments on a motion of defense
attorneys to declare non-suit in
trial of the $4,000 damage suit of
Hazel and William T. Livingston
against Mrs. A. c. Peacock, the Ar
rowhead Creamery company and M.
B. Griffin were being heard by
Judge Vaughn N. Thompson this
afternoon.
The motion for non-suit. was
made after the plaintiffs rested
their case this morning following
the testimony of four witnesses. De-
Tense attorneys based their motion
on the contention that Mrs. Pea
cock and the creamery company are
improperly joined with Griffin in
the suit.
Griffin was acting as an indepen-
dent contractor when driving the
truck that crashed into the Living
ston car, asserted the attorneys, and
was not in the employ of the
creamery.
Witnesses on the stand for the
plaintiff this morning included M.
3. Griffin, who was called for cross
examination under a section OF law
which permits the plaintiff to call
a defendant to the stand. Other
witnesses were Floyd M. Carpenter,
R. A. Chestnut and Hazel Livingston.
Mrs. Livingston was recalled to the
stand.
The suit involves an automobile
accident May 4, 1880, on the San
Diego highway. Mr.. and Mrs. .Liv-
ingston, and Meryal Meadows,
daughter of Mrs. Livingston, were
injured.
