Washington fashions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

The short-sleeved jacket has
taken quite a prominent place
in the midsummer m o d e.
Jackets have had everything
done to them that the designers
could possibly imagine. They
have had belts added. they have
had their tails cut off and they
have had collars and cuffs at.
tached. But most important of
all they have had their sleeves
cut off. and perhaps the smart
est jacket you can wear through
out the summer is the short
sleeved jacket.
Trimmed With Stitching
The jacket of the frock that
we have had sketched today is
smart because of it's short
sleeves and also because Of the
big hook and eye that faStens
at the waistline. This new
dresSmaker detail made its ap-
pearance in the spring and is
now rather popular on surcmer
clothes. The jacket of this
dress is. of fine, heavy quality
shantung in brown. The dress
is white, so again we have that
brown and white combination
that is so fashionable.
The Dress is Simple
The dress has it's good points
too. 1t has short cap sleeves so
that it may be worn with the
jacket. The buttons on the
dress are brown, the belt is of
brown patent leather and the
skirt has wide pleatS below a
fitted hipline. 1t is impossible
to describe the excellent quality
Of the material and workman
ship in this dress. You will
have to see it to appreciate it,
but we can recommend it heart
lily, especially as it is mrder-
ately priced.

a decision in Henrico Court yesterday,
when fine of 500 and costs was i'm
posed upon c. w. Butler, operating a
truck for the Jacobs Transfer Com

with driving a vehicle on Virginia
highways without a license.
Before Court Before.
The Washington firm was brought
to trial on a similar charge in Fred

Frederick P. Coleman ruled that their
trucks should have Virginia licenses
An appeal was made to Gov. Pollard,
who was asked to set aside the pro-
visions Of the motor vehicle law ap-
plicable to the case, and the question
was argued before the Executive Feb
ruary II, but no decision was reached
1t is the contention of the State
that the District Of Columbia concerns,

competition with the Virginia truck

of this State. The commonwealth

the defendants claim that the trucks
should be operated under the laws of

Appeal May Be Taken.
1t is believed that the defendants
will appeal the case, II necessary, to
the Supreme Court OF the United
States. Should the commonwealth
win the decision in this case, it is
estimated by T. Mccall Frazier, mo-
tor vehicle commissioner OF Virginia,
that it will add approximately $780,
600 annually to the revenues of the
State. Arrest of those violating the
law will continue to be made, officials
stated, following the ruling in the
