WINDS COMPEL
AKRON TO STAY
OUT ALL NIGHT

LAKEHURST N. j., Nov. 4. U.P)
High winds sweeping over the
wide flat spaces around the huge
airShip hangar here last night kept
the giant dirigible Akron out all
night and seriously damaged the
navy blimp XII, largest non-rigid
dirigible in the world.
AS the blimp was being grounded,
wind threw it against the hangar,
ripped the envelope open, causing
it to collapse. The ground crew
was ordered to release the dirigible,
which carried Lieut.. S. NJ. Bailey
and two other officers, before it
collapsed. They were uninjured.
The Akron was tied to a moor
ing mast with a skeleton crew
aboard, while its officers waited for
the wind to go down before at
tempting to maneuver its huge
bulk into the hangar beside its
older bunk mate. the Los Angeles.
The Akron was placed in its
hangar shortly after daylight.
The Akron, carrying 207 passen-
gers, including newspapermen, in
test of its carrying capacity, re-
turned last night with the Los An
geles from an all day flight over
New Jersey and neighboring states.
SUNNYVALE, Cal, Nov. 4. UP
Naval authorities rushed plans for
of a mooring mast to-
day after receiving word that the
giant new dirigible Akron will come
to the Pacific coast next March.
The mast will be started in a few
week and will be completed before
the Akron arrives, according TO
Commander Edward L. Marshall, in
charge of operations at the new dir
igible base here.

PepIum Dress Good
At the center is shown a
peplum dress. And that word
"peplum" is a good one to re-
member. It's not only fash
ionable. 1t helps to cover up
lots of figure deficiencies.
What's good about this
dress? First. the peplum itself.
It gives the figure width
through the hips. The hori-
zontal line that it makes cuts
the height of the figure.
This dress is melted at the
waistline and there's nice
soft blousing above it. This
helps fill in the hollows that
the growing figure so often has
at this point.
The elbow sleeves cut the
length of the arms. And the
fullness at the elbow helps give
fullness through the body line
when the arms are down.
Fashionable Jacket Dress
The costume at the right is
the mush-in-fashion jacket
dress-wearable in some one Of
its versions by all ages and
figures. The one Sketched is
especially good for the growing
girl for several reasons.

Return From Havana
Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

While we were debating about
whether or not evening pajamas
would arrive, pajamas walked
right into. our Washington
homes! So we went downtown
to a certain store that is sure
to have what the well-dreSSed
woman is wearing. We went,
We saw, end we were capti-
vated!
They had many charming
pajamaS, but we chose these
special ones to present because
they were elegant" enough for
the most formal wear. And
don't think there was anything
pretty" about them-they are
of svelt, smooth black satin.
Trousers, three and one-half
yards width to a leg, with a
fitted hip line, and that hip
line should fit, too, remember.
They are Joined by flat skirt
in the back so that thus dis
guiSed, they are above criticism.
A Skirtlike Back
The decolletage is marvellous, a
sort of bertha collar, the deep v
Of the front is filled with a
scrap of satin and the bertha
continues over the arms, just
enough to suggest a long Shoul-
der line. The back is bertha
less" but charmingly cut in a
deep v. If you have been one
of the doubters or if you have
thought pajamas for the very
young only, you should see these.
The narrow belt has a rhine
stone buckle, and you can't beat
the beauty of glittering rhine
stones against cleaning satin.
This is a garment that you'll
feel luXuriously at ease in at
the most formal function, and
under the critical gaze Of your
feminine friends!
Miss LaVille will gladly an
swer any questions about pa
jamas or other fashions. Cal

ROUGH STRAW
SAILOR HATS, SS.95

The newest brimmed hats
are sailors, those swagger
descendants of the sailors some
of us wore years ago. These
have shallow crowns, narrow
uptilted brims. and are exceed
ingly smart. Best in rough
straws. And we consider these
quite a find because many of
the navy and black hats have
their brimS faced with white.
Some have tilted brim with a
tiny flower beneath. They are
also in beige or brown.

Or for some one whom you
would like to show some special
courtesy. Luscious fruit, a pot
of jelly, gingerale, and candy

tones. They are cut on dress

have an accompanying vestee
or blouse. Extremely smart
looking. and a great value at
this price.

NEW YORK, April IA
mother writes: What about
the growing girl? Especially
the very tall girl who is all
legs and armS-not old enough
or large enough for women's
dresses and too big and lanky
for children's?"
Clothing the growing girl be-
comingly might be more Of a
problem than it is-if this
we're some other spring. But
this year when fashion con-
trives to help everybody bring
out her good points and min
imize her not-sogood ones, it's
easier.
The problem of this mother,
and of many other mothers, Is
to build out the growing girls
figure so it won't look so lanky.
That means choosing costumes
with details that lessen thin
ness and height and-converse-
ly-make them look wider and
shorter.
Need Soft Lines
And they need soft lines to
cover up their angles. Soft
trimm' lgs and drapings to fill
in hollows.
We've sketthed three dresses
to illustrate what we mean.
They're youthful dresses but
not childish-suitable to both
