Ash CoIored Hair Also Style

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 30.-Scar-
let-tinted toenails and ash hair viii be
something for socially proper people to
worry about at the Winter resort
beaches this season, Kathleen Howard,
fashion expert, predicted today
Bathing suits, Miss Howard told the
fashion group, an organization of styl-
lists and fashion writer's, are to be
''nuder and nuder" The one-piece
knitted suit, she has advised in cable
grams from Paris, is a favorite beach
garment shown there.
The wind-blown hair bob cut, square
at the back, is blond, if possible, and the
mode is available to all women who
know the art Of applying white henna
to their auburn or raven locks, Miss
Howard pointed out.
Golfers Don Split Skirts.
Smart women at Monte Carlo still
are wearing pajamas, mostly of knitted
materials and tweedS. These have
matching hats, trimmed with bright
feathers.
Divided skirts are new mode for
women playing golf
Pajamas for evening wear have given
away to more decollette evening gowns.
Hats continue small and are tilted
head Most of them have a high trim
in the back TO give height to the wearer
of the new square, houldered costumes
and the huge, wide fur collars. The
trim is usually quill or two or stiff
velvet or ribbon effect.
Women Adopt Walker Beret.
One Partisan designer is featuring
entire hats of feathers and small
berets with felt bows. The cap with a
visor such as Mayor Jimmy Walker
wears is another favorite, and little
felts with briIns turned up all the way
around, Breton-wise, are adorable on
petite wearers.

Miss Case said two silhouettes pre-
vail. These are the trim silhouette fea-
tured In suits and coats with high but
toning and wide shoulders, and the
trimmed silhouettes with loose effect,
wide armholeS and much fur trimming.
These same silhouettes are noted in
evening wear--namely, the sheath-like
gown and the gown with bulk in the
back and considerable trimming.
Mary Lewis, fashion expert for q

they are more themselves instead OF

The beginnings Of Miss Cannons extraordinary
career are simple. On the outskirts of Phila-

There, together with practical information and
good manners, the Quaker teachers taught their
charges faith In God and q knowledge Of the
stars. Mary Elizabeth Jump was among them

Elizabeth went back 70 her home In Dover,
Del, and got married And when the first baby
was old enough her mother taught her the story
Of the stars she had learned at the Quaker
school
Year by year the little girl who was Annie
Jump Cannon, learned more Of the starry uni
verse around her. Windows and porehes finally
became inadequate for the thirsty youngster
and her telescope. The attic, a romantic place
heaped up with the blue uniforms of the Union
Army and stovepipe hats and frocks that cas-
caded into the rufies and furbelows Of the
SOS, was cleaned out for the young astronomers

v HOLLYWOOD, Calf, December
l2.-"The motion picture in

Il Il carious predicament II mas
faced since its existence, can
be successfully pulled out OF its slump
and put on sure paying basis once
again If given sufficient time to estao-
fish such radical changes as will have
to be made" according TO David SELF
nick, Hollywood's youngest executive,
who Is not reluctant to discuss the
hazardous year which lies before max
ers of gelatin entertainment. His fel-
low producers are loathe to comment
on a situation which has become omi-
nous in the past IL months and which
today is a calamitous one unless i'm
mediate drastic action is taken.
THE salary cuts which have been
general throughout the industry this
week are not enough to put pictures
where they must be put" says Selznick,
who has recently assumed the helm
at R-K-O Studios The salaries Of
actors and writers are not the largest
part of the expense OF making pic
ture. The salaries of executives,
charged to the various pictures made
in the studios. is another item which
looms amazingly small when you con-
slider the cost sheet of a production.
Naturally the first move to make is a
general salary cut, since that is the
quickest way to see results and since
that must necessarily follow any ao'
tempt at retrenchment.
After the salary cut the most i'm
poTtant work of retrenChment begins
1t is the cutting down of the vast
waStage involved in the making of a
picture We shoot a picture which,
when finished, will average 1000 feet.
Then we examine our cost sheet and
find that the director has used I25, 900
to 10000 feet Of gelatin strip to make
that 1000 feet of finished picture. And
even this cost of gelatin strip-no
small itern-iS not the secret Of the
loss in this particular instance. The
big loSS'lie behind that wasted footage
1T lies in the salaries OF armies of
electricians, techniCianS and camera
men, who have been working through
all those hours of extra -footage making
It lies in the hours lost while cameras
are set to make IA takes, for instance,
from various angles. Only one take can
be used in the finished picture, yet pic

every conceivable camera angle and

Sidered and carefully planned takes
The picture Of the future, which
must be made within certain limits
of expense in order to save the industry
as an industry, will have to have its
