COPPER RATI0NING
METHOD DISCUSSED
Substitute Program for Curtailment
Plans Is Considered at
World Conferences.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 3o.-Differ-
ences of opinion on the proper method
to improve operating conditions OF the
copper industry have developed during
the informal exchange OF views OF
world copper producers, it became
known yesterday.
A proposal that a marketing plan
rationing the amount of metal which
the world would find available might
well take the place Of program oil
curtailing operations, has crept into
the discussions.
In some quarters the proposal was
described as a disquieting idea which
some copper men feel might stand IN
the way of agreement. 1t was injected
into the informal discussions at time
when the proponents of worldwide
curtailment of production felt they
we're getting close enough together to
insure satisfactory results from
round-table conference of all interested
parties. 1t was pointed out, however
that they counted without certain
faction in the industry, which never
has been sold" on the idea of curtai-
ment
In theory, the idea of cutting down
world production of copper to volume
well enough under consumption to IN
sure profitable price for the metal
has impressed every one in the indus
| try. When Emile Francqui, managing
! director of the Katanga Mines and
| former finance minister OF Belgium, ar
rived in this country in company with
| other important copper men to discuss
| the price situation with Americans it
seemed that every one concerned be-
/ lieved production should be curtailed
| to some extent and the only question
| was whether the producers could agree
| on their respective shares in the pro-
| gram.
However, according to well informed
sources, some Of the conferees now in
sist there is good chance of success
IN scheme to pool all copper as it
becomes available and feed it out to
consumers just enough to stabilize the
| market

.OSSIBLY you had hoped

DOSSIBLY you had hoped
- 10 60 abroad this summer,
and as you bade your globe
trotting friends adieu a week
or so ago you may have felt
a shade of regret that your
vacation plans did not include
a European trip. But there
are always compensations for
those who STAY at home and
this season they are most
abundant.
Not the least of the pleasures
that many American women an
tcipate in their travels abroad
have 10 do with shopping in old
world cities. This summer. how
ever, the advantages will be for
the woman who stays home, for
dresses, hats. accessories and ma
terials r every bit as low priced
here at present as they are abroad
and In many cases considerably
lower.
Then too there is the consoling
thought that If you went abroad
you would have very little oppor-
tunfty 10 wear any of the intri-
guing vacation clothes that have
been created for resort wear this
summer. And that really would
be a misfortune because clothes
OF this sort were never so prac-
neal and at the same time SO be
coming as they are az present.
There are all sorts OF open
work clothes this summer. Moth
ing could be more sensible. All
the mesh dresses fall under this
head. Knitted jackets. mesh suits.
crocheted hats, string belts-all
these things r of the openwork
class.
Some Of the stockings have
square meshes. The square mesh
also appears in sweaters. made OF
a single crochet stitch carried
along and formed into squares.
Crochet belts are made in many
attractive stitches, hut the closer
ones doubtless stand up best.
String jewelry II one ~ the sea
sons novelties. and II IL the most
summary, holiday sort Of thing
you can imagine. Often wooden
beads are combined with string
in smart necklaces and bracelets.
and even earrings. There are. in
deed. sets Of bracelet, necklace
and earrings 70 match. The ear
rings are formed Of a bunch of
three or four strings from which
hangs a big bead. The necklace
and bracelet are formed Of sew
eral strings looped and run
through colored wooden beads.
Sometimes. instead OF beads.
wrap-around bits Of string are
used at intervals to break the
lengthwise monotony.
A most amusing. and at the
same time very pretty. necklace
is made OF hshline. three strands
OF IL. braided. AT the front are
eight or ten beads If red and
yellow. The fishline is in natural
color. Another really lovely neck
lace is made of fine wrapping
paper cord. dyed soft brown. with
wrap-arounds Of the same string
dyed green and yellow.
Sleeveless dresses are ~ course
a part of the vacation wardrobe.
Some of them have strapE that tie
in bows or the Shoulders.
Many Of the sleeveless dresses
have matching jackets TO 60 with
them. Linen and cotton and silk.
all r made into most becoming
and wearabie Jacket and dress en-
sembles. They are about the
most sensible Of all the summer
styles They are. too. becoming

SILK crepe. in spite OF the popu-
