Shoulders Covered

These white satin gowns are
not limited to midsummer, and
therefore they are an economi-
cal fashion to buy. They will
be just as good throughout the
fall and winter. The gown we
have selected to sketch today
combines all the. essentials of
the new gowns. It is fitted
beautifully through the hipline
so that it clings tight and SHIN
mers straight down to the floor.
The bodice has the popular
surplice line. It has the should
ers covered, which is another
important fashion now. This
effect is achieved by the little
separate triangle scarf that
you may knot about your
shoulders, or you may take off

became a sensation almost over

Northampton. Mass. May 25.-- (UP)-Collins II.

 Gere was a longtime friend of former President Coolidge. One elec- ton night while Coolidge was gov ernor of Massachusetts. he visited the Gazette office to watch the re- turns. All evening he and Gere sat smoking cigars and pe.using the re- ports. They cxchanled only half a dozen words. When Coolidge had gone home, somebody asked Gere why he had not interviewed the gov- ernor regarding his opinion of the election.
 ''I guess can keep my mouth shut as well as Coolidge, if I want to-" Gere responded. T knew he didn't come in to talk or to be talked to-"

SWARTHMORE HAS UNCOVERED SOME
 VERY WET BOYS
Liquor Found in Students Rooms and Faculty Does Not Know What to Do

Philadelphia. May 5.-(UP)-The faculty, student board and trustees of Swarthmore college were faced with the problem to-day of deciding action to be taken as result of raid ten days ago on the college dormitory where liquor was found in students rooms. Dean Alan .. Valentine led the raid and seized lquor in rooms of at least two dozen students. he reported to President Frank Aydellotte.
 The names of some of the most respected and honored students at the college are included in the report which relates their lapse from the tradition of the staid Quaker institu- ton. their infraction of one of the cardinal rules and their violation Of the constitution of the United States. The students do not believe they are deserving of such raiding tactics. They believe 1t is unfair that the few students caught with liquor in their rooms should be punished se- verely when students in rooms on upper floors, equally guilty, have time to destroy or hide their pos sessions.
 Any wholesale disciplining of stu dents might lead some wealthy par ents to withhold at later dates SUD- stantial endowments for the college. general strike has been threat ened if punishment is too severe. College officials. therefore, are pro- ceeding with care.

 UNTIL FEET BETRAYED HIM


 props were a modish dinner gown. a good looking ''off the face" hat. silk stockings and lingerie. The only sour note in the ensemble was sound ed by Theodore's feet. rather brawny and serviceable for high-heeled slip pers. The feet were Theodore's un- doing.
 Police were told that a pretty girl with big feet was picking up strange men in the Back Bay. For four nights police watched Theodore. Last night they arrested him. At the East Ded- ham street police station Theodore protested. at first in pleasing so- prano voice. then in baritone. Po- lice thought the baritone fitted the feet better than the soprano and in- vestigated. Theodore will face a judge to-day. charged, of all things, with being Idle and disorderly.
