still looking short) just touch the
top OF the hipbone. And all of
them decidedly snappy in their
cut, their patterns and their
combinations of colors.
Short as they are. they have the
look Of blouses. One good reason
why so many well-dressed women
are putting more sweaters into
their wardrobeS than they've had
for years.
They wear them with suit and
with skirts just as they wear
blouses. and they pull them on
over dresses to give the fashion,
able two-piece look to the cos
tune.
WGistband Adds Accent
THE brief length of these
L sweaters is usually accented
by a WalStband Of some sort.
A ribbed band that goes all the
way around or a band that ties
over at the side when the sweater
closes in surplice blouse fashion.
Sweaters most in fashion look
as though they were made by
hand. And of course many of
them actually are handmade.

AngorG for Sports

ONE of the best looking real
" sports sweaters is also one of
the simplest. It's plain with a
ribbed band at the waist and
sleeves and a plain crew neck.
You'll find this kind in many diff
ferent weights and woods, but it
looks particularly we'll in angora.
You're going to see even more.
OF these in the fall, too, with long
sleeves, waiting to keep you warm
under your topcoat in football
season.
Another good sports type E.
and quite new is the natural
color kashimir jersey with yoke
OF heavy yarns in brown and
yellow and the heavy yarn used
for the ribbing at the waist.
For dressier sweaters there's
the open-work lacy one with the
frill or jabot down the front or a
frill around the neckline. This
looks more like a blouse than any
other kind, especially when it's
white.
Another sweater is dressy, too.
This combines plain body with
a yoke in fancy mesh stitch, Civ
ing the plastron effect that you're
going to find in many fall dresses.
Plain knitted wool or jersey
sweaters often add a scarf or yoke
or bands in two or three contrast
ing colors. And they make a fine
gay spot on the sidelineS of
sports events.

High pressure conditions and
maladjustment of appliances,
which were regarded as con-
tributing causes for complaints of
high gas bills several weeks ago,
have been satisfactorily corrected,
the Public Utilities Commission
stated today, in letter sent to
Edward c. Finney, solicitor of the
Interior Department.
Mr.. Finney who resides at 1886
Edmond st. N. w., recently
wrote to the commission COM
planning that his gas bill had
doubled since the "So-called re-
duction in rates" and asked what
the commission had concerning
gas conditions here.
AS the result of complaints, the
commission replied it was dis
covered that high pressure areas
and maladjuSted applian e
existed in various sections.
The commission stated that as
a result of steps to correct these
conditions there is today a
uniformity in pressure conditions
throughout the city while house
toulouse canvasses have resulted
in satisfactory appliance adjust

II doubt if there is any
group in America that desires
peace more ardently than the

aspiration for their sons.

.GAS PRESSURES7CHERRY PETALS
ARE REDUCED At THEIR BEST

Those who visited the Tidal
Basin during the morning hours
today saw the famed Japanese
cherry blossoms at their best.
With an usually bright sun glori-
flying the blooms, a light mist
hung over the vicinity, adding ro-
nance to the scene.
The blossoms will remain at the
peak of their beauty over the
weekend, it is believed, and will
then fade into memory.
When these have gone, how
ever, there is still another lovely
sight just around the corner. The
double bloom" cherry trees
around Hains Point will spread
their loveliness about April %, it
was said today.
The "double blossoms" are
deeper colored and have from
Is to 20 petals, whereas those
now in bloom have only a halt
dozen or so petals each. There
are no leaves out on the cherry
trees at the Tidal Basin, but
foliage and blossoms are ex
pected to appear simultaneously
on the HainS Point trees.

JAYNES KILLING
: SOLUTION IS
EXPECTED
Capt. E. J. Kelly Believes
SIayers of Garden T Shoppe
Cashier Will Be Arrested

Police today moved nearer to a
solution of the murder of Mrs.
Elizabeth Jaynes, shot to death
by two young bandits during the
hold-up of the Garden T Shoppe,
1885 Columbia Rd. N. W., II days
ago.
Capt. Edward Kelly, of the
homicide squad, and a group of
detectives are busy running down
number of clues which have
been unearthed during the past
few days.
They are now seeking the trail
of the two men believed to have
killed Mrs. Jaynes, the cashier OF
the T Shoppe.
Captain Kelly would not reveal
the nature of the evidence he has
received, but feels he is on the
trail of the two bandits.
Other members of the homicide
squad are still working on the
murder of James H. Lane, street
car conductor, who was shot and
killed during a hold-up of his car
several weeks ago. So far, they
have made little headway in the
case.

YOUNG BLOOD IN
 P. C. A. FINALS AFTER REAL SHOCK
Sarazen and Burke Elimi= mated By Creavy and Shute at RumfOrd

Wannamoisett Country Club, Rumford, R. l., Sept 19-Walter Hagen. Tommy Armour, Gene Sar- azen, Billy Burke and all the other ''favorites" to win the 1881 profes- sional Golfers Association cham pionship were spectators to-day as two youthful competitors who were given little consideration in pre- tourney forecasts met in the final 36-holes match for the champion ship.
 The rival players, 26-year-old Densmore Shute of Columbus, O., and 21-year-old Tommy Creavy of Albany, N. Y., are the youngest golfers ever to meet in the finals of the PGA tourney, regarded gen. erally as golfdom's most difficult test.
 Just Broke In
 Shute, who turned professional four years ago, was candidate for the 1881 Ryder Cup team, a dan gerous competitor in the National Open and also has captured several big tournaments. He never has cut much of a figure in the P. C.. A. although he has won a match or two in previous years.
 Creavy, who will not be 22 until February. never was able to qualify for the P. G. A. until this year, all though he attempted the feat in 1929 and 1880. He defeated Johnny Farrell in the Metropolitan P. G. A. three years ago but was elimin- ated in the second round by Gene Sarazen. He first became full fledged professional this year and now is in a fair way to become pro- fessional champion of the United States.
