Modern Clothes Given
Touch of Old STYLES

Even If we sometimes cannot exact
ly date any particular coat or frock,
there is no gainsaying the charm and
gracious lines Of the new autumn
clothes. And why should It be neces-
sary to tag historical epoch onto a
garment that is quaint and picturesque,
with a touch or feature that is remi.
niscent Of other days?
If any particular garment was def
nitely Of the Second empire or of mid
Victorian days it would look dreadfully
out Of place in modern building. No,
the new clothes are splendidly up-to-
date.
Designers are far too wise to go in
for sartorial anachronisms. They use
just enough of the bygone styles to
give a different look and feel to ultra
modern clothes.

not the ensemble will develop into a
foursome, in that shirred and pulled
velvet neckpiece likewise a handbag
will be added.
Not infrequently velvet shares the
glory with fur In that the two form
an alliance in the making Of these dec
orative ensembles. The black velvet
hat and muff which is trimmed In
white ermine is a favorite theme with
designers. One-color schemes are
worked to perfection such as. for In
stance, brown velvet with mink trim
mings for both muff and beret. The
fiat pelts such as caracuL. galyak and
astrakhan are especially favored since
they permit of a fabriclike handling
as they combine with the velvet.
The little shoulder cape made of
velvet banded row-and-row with fur
is exceedingly smart. OF course, in or
der to attain chic supreme 1t must be
accompanied with a muff similarly
worked with fur and velvet.
1t is quite the thing, too. If ones muff
be all of fur to adorn it with huge
velvet bow to match the velvet of ones
hat and ones neckpiece. Fact is there
is thousand and one ways in which
velvet is partnershipping with fur in
the making Of the new hats, scarfs and
muffs. and the game is to choose the
set you like best and be the envy of
your neighbors and your sister club
members as they note the chic and
charm of your appearance.
The bag shown in the panel above is
smart for formal afternoon or eve
ming. 1t is the new long shape which
fits the hand. 1t is closed under the
flap with talon fastener. The bow
knot and bracelet are Of pearls, for a
revived fair for pearls is noted in
the realm Of jewelry.

Conditions That Unite
Whole Animal Kingdom

A conference of eminent scientists
recently met at the estate Of Copley
Amory, Of Washington and Boston,
at Matamek, Quebec. For ten days
ecologists-that is, students Of AMI
NAL life in relation to its surround
ngs-discussed problems and find
ings in their particular fields of
ornithology, mammology, marine biol
ogy, etc. The results of the con-
ference were so profitable that plans
for another meeting in 1884 were
made and committee appointed to
formulate a permanent organization.
One of the points especially
stressed in the discussion was the
INTERPOLATION Of the various animal
groups, including man. Fluctuations
in one species are often felt through
out the animal kingdom. Certain
varieties are of such Importance
that they are known as ''key ami
mails" Mice and mice-like rodents
are 'key animals" in many parts of
the world. When mice are abundant
in the Canadian Northwest foxes,
snowy owls, wolves and bears cease
to prey on partridges. When the
mice decline, animals turn again to
game, and Eskimos and Indians suf-
fer for food. Weasels and ermine
die out in numbers when mice are
scarce and snowy owls fly south in
search Of food, only to die in the
warm climate.

WALKING DRESSES
REVIVE PROMENADE

Walking dresses are well in the
running this season. The apparently
lost pastime of the promenade is be-
ing revived and whether the lovely
street frocks are cause or a symp.
tom it is not for us to discover.
Wool, of course, is about the most
popular fabric and is used in it's vari-
GUS weaves, with the corduroy weave
being tremendous favorite.
Despite the apparent simplicity Of
these frocks. There is a vast amount
of fine workmanship and detail about
them and fine furs are smartly used
to complete the scheme, although the
model must never be overburdened
with fur trimming. Harmony and re-
straint must of necessity be the key
note Of the really fine frock meant
mostly for outdoor town wear.

Thief's Money Welcome

A robber entered the room of
Charles McKeever Of Philadelphia
and stole Sc in cash and gold
watch. In their place he left FIVE
dimes. McKeever went to the police
station to report the loss, and as he
left he threw the frye dimes on the
floor, refusing ito take thief's mon
ey." Outside the station a police
man found a hungry vagrant. He
gave the unfortunate the spurned
dimes and the hungry man hurried
away happily to get his breakfast.

N ESIGNERS are as busy as bees
- creating the most fascinating hat
and-muff ensembles one may ever hope
to see. These little sets which invari.
ably include muff-for not in dec
AIDES have we been privileged to carry
such intriguing muffs as the style pro-
gram now offers-are mostly made Of
velvet which is shirred, shocked, ruff
fed, pulled and otherwise manipulated
to the queens taste.
You will be finding one of these fat
tering sets just the thing to wear with
your winter fur coat. Note the win
some velvet hat and muff which the
smartly cloaked young woman to the

Paris that the feeling for black and
white Is waning not whit, which Is
some record when one considers the
beguilment of the delectable colors
shown on the fall and winter color
card. The muff in this instance is es-
pecially interesting in that it is one
Of those tricky little affairs which is
supposed to slide up the arm like a
huge cuff when not in actual use.
Sets which feature velvet in con-
trast. as does this one, are also being
shown in brown or in dark green with
beige landings. The idea is that they
be perfect color match to the cloth

There's simply no way Of telling all
the designful things that are being
done with velvet in the creation of

IN ROAD BUILDING
Mid Weather Big Aid in Con-
tinWng U. S. Program,
&.
Says A. A. A.

There has not been the usual seasonal
decline in road building this Winter
and late in the Fall there were ap-
proXimately 100000 men employed on
State highways throughout the country,
according to the District of Columbia
division Of the American Automobile
Association.
1t was declared THAI the effort to
push the Nations road program as a
means Of relieving unemployment has
been materially aided by mild weather.
which has enabled engineers to con-
tinue work in many sections where the
season ordinarily ends in September.
"On the basis of report from A. A. A.
national headquarters" said the state
ment, there were 22l ,275, men engaged
on State road projects in Is States dur
ing october, and it was ettimated that
at least $4,000 were at work in the 13
other States. This total of approxi-
mately 100000 indicates that practically
every State is pushing its highway pro-
gram to the limit.
This is also indicated by construc-
ton under way on the Federal aid Sys-
TEN. On October l there were 14,3l4
miles of highway being built on the in
terstate system, of which 1869 miles
represented new constructions and thR
remaining 1855 miles additional worS
on projects previously improved. The
estimated total cost was $344,072,068.
OF which the Federal-aid allotment
amounted to $155, 1903, ,487."
It was pointed out that In Pennsyl-
vania, where Winter usually interfefes
with road building soon after the Sunt-
mer season wanes, there were 27,41a
men at work on State roads.
"One Of the most hopeful signs" 1t
was added, "is the large number Of
men at work in the States which have
Jagged in road building. In Louisiana,
for example, there were 1880 men
employed building roads in October"

GOOD MOTORIST MUST
BE GOOD SPORTSMAN
Consideration for Others Held
Most Important by
Coolican.

Good motoring habits are nothing
more or less than an exhibition OF
sportsmanship, points out Oscar Coon-
can, local automobile distributor.
1T is of the utmost Importance that
every motorist should learn to show
consideration for others from his very
first moment behind the wheel" says
Mr.. Coolican. All good habits must
be learned early so as to permit no
chance for the formation OF bad ones.
Doing the right thing so far as other
drivers and pedestrians are concerned
is to exhibit type of craftsmanship
that not only removes many of the
irritations of driving but goes far to-
ward advancing street and highway
safety.
TRAFFIC safety can be attained only
through the combined efforts Of the
whole body of motorists. Authorities
may lay down certain regulations to be
observed, and the police may put forth
every endeavor to enforce them, but
without the cooperation of every
driver observance will fall short of
desirable degree Of safe and sane driv-
ing practices.
The motoriSt can make a valuable
contribution to traffic safety by
display of craftsmanship. 1t Is a
matter of showing good judgment, OF
applying the golden rule to everyday
driving. 1t goes far beyond the mere
observance of the letter Of the law.
There are many ways of showing
this sportsmanship. One may help an
other motorist out of a difficult situa-
ton many times by yielding the rights
the law gives him. Or in its observance
one may aid a fellow motorist by
showing him courtesy instead OF insist
ing upon the letter Of legal motor prac-
tice.
There are many opportunities for
showing sportsmanship toward >pedes-
trians. It Is not simply courtesy to
permit them to cross the street in
safety after the traffic lights have
changed The regulations provide for
that and whether the motorist does
it willingly, he is only obeying the law.
But when it comes to terrorizing the
pedestrian with an unnecessarily sharp
blast on ones horn, sportsmanship die
tates the avoidance of such practice.
Running close to a pedestrian in the
act of crossing thoroughfare and
stopping suddenly is lack of sports
manship and, aside from the posi-
bility OF such practice proving dan
gerous, is definitely something to be
avoided by an unselfish motorist."
Evening star., 1931-12-27
ROAD COSTS DOWN

Construction prices are now lower by
one-fifth. This means that six miles
of highways can be improved for the
same amount of money required for
five miles two years ago.
This extra mile cannot be taken as
an invitation to reduce the amount of
money available for road construction,
for the need for improved travelways
IS too urgent for that.
Quite the contrary, progressive COM
munities are now able to devote more
and more attention to the construction
of roads that will outlast the bonds, if
any, and roads that cut down car
operating costs and that other cost
also borne by the motorist and tax
payer which Is none else than high
road upkeep.
