PARIS SALONS
SHOW STYLES
FOR SUMMER
Professional Buyers Start
Work of Deciding What
World Shall Wear.
BY MARY KNIGHT
Cnited Press Stan Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. %. 49, Professional
buyers today are buying the smart
Paris creations which well-dressed
women OF the world will be wearing
next summer.
For the next month, Paris dress
makers will show their newest gowns
and outfits, and even though 1t Is
bitter cold outside. the interior of
the salons Of the great couturieres
look Like garden parties.
From the Rue Royale to the Rue
De La Paix and in that ultra-rich
half acre touched by the shadow of
the Vendone column, there is a
busy hum as seanstresses ply their
needles.
Smaller dressmaking firms are
showing first, in an effort to get
some Of the patronage Of American,
German, Argentine, Spanish and
London buyers.
Attempts at Secrecy
But the bigger firms still are busy.
master minds looking serious as
pencils sketch out ideas Of new lines,
new variations of hanging a drape
or tucking tuck.
Foreladies rush around the attic
"ateliers" keeping little heads bent
over the fimsy summer dresses in
process Of making.
Everywhere there is ridiculously
amusing attempt at secrecy.
Every one really tries to find out
what the other person is making,
without divulging any secrets Of his
own
Great Parties in Salons
It is like great party in the
salons, but not upstairs in the
workshops, where $5-a-month midi
nettes are rushing to completion the
$500 summer dresses that will be
worn by smart women next August.
Displays of summer collections,
which started on Jan. /, reached
their height today.
Hereafter four or five houses will
open their salons every day, and the
buyers will dash madly from one
address to another from a. m. until
midnight.
1t is a mad scramble to get a
pretty model before some other
buyer acquires it and the right to
repeat its production in some New
York loft.
AS fast as they are bought the
models are rushed by airplane or
train to a port and sent by the
earliest of the fast steamers.

Colorado School
First To Close

Colorado school at Palo Verde
claims the distinction of being the
first in the valley to close for the
summer vacation, this school hav-
ing closed on May IL.
The reason for this early date,
according to G. B. Collins, county
superintendent, is that the COM
munity is so isoiated from others,
that there is little for the children
to do in vacation and as result
the school has no Christmas or
Thanksgiving vacation, with the
exception of just the particular
holidays themselves. In this way,
1t is possible to end the season ear
lier than the schools which have
the regular vacations. Several of
the schools in similar districts fol-
low the same procedure and will
close before the other schools of the
county.
Superintendent Collins also states
that the teachers retirement checks
are coming in rapidly, 20 being re-
ccived in todays mail. Each teach
er contributes Sc out of her salary
annually. the sum going to the
state retirement fund to which the
state is also a contributor. A large
share of the money comes from the
inheritance tax. The bill to increase
contributions to the retirement
fund was defeated by the present
assembly.

Damages totaling s13 3,52040 were
asked in a suit filed today by H. B.
Williams and Elmer Williams

B. Hatfield, employee OF the COM

head of cattle on land owned by
the plaintiffs, and that the cattle
had completely destroyed a crop OF
alfalfa and barley when the de-
PENDANTS failed to remove them

fiye-day rain.
AS pasturage the plaintiffs asked
S1,020.40, and for alleged damage to
the crop they asked S12,500. The
defendants we're notified to remove
the cattle from the land February
3, when it started to rain, according
to the complaint, and promised to
do SO.

from the pasture, however, and be-
cause of the soft condition of the
land trampled the crop into the
mud. completely destroying it, ac-
cording to the complaint.
