CT AN entering college the
l. latter part of Septem-
Der and want to begin getting
my wardrobe ready. | haven't
a great deal to spend 50 shall
make some of the things my
self. w hat about skirt
lengths? Some people say
they are going to be shorter
and some that they will be
longer. | am going to a north
ern college and had planned
to buy a fur coat. hoping 10
wear it all four years in col
lege. Do you think that it
would be a good plan to get
it during the August fur
sales? That is. are fashions
settled enough so that | could
be pretty sure that it would
remain in fashion? What
length coat shall | get? Also
what would you suggest for
my one evening dress which
| intend TO make myself? :"
Mary Ann.
Rest assured that the longer
skirt will remain in fashion. Day
time dress, suits. etc. should be
eight inches from the floor. with
active sports skirts a trifie short
err. Many Of the new late after
noon and dinner dresses are quite
long but for the young college
girl II Is best TO have dresses OF
this description no longer than
anokle length. BY all means take
advantage of the special August
prices to get your coat. | can as
sure you that there will be some
unusual values and there Is every
reason to believe that prices will
be higher later on this year and
next year. Fur fashions for the
more conservative type OF coats
are not likely TO change for some
time. The best type OF coat for
you ! think would be full length.
seven-eighths or three-quarters.
To be sure there are many short
jackets Of fur but in a northern
college you will be glad to have a
longer coat. For your new formal
dress | would suggest satin or
satin crepe which will be among
the most important evening fab
RIGS during the coming season.
Satin. too. is easier for the anna
teur dressmaker TO work with
than chiffon or other very sheer
material and does not require a
special slip or lining. Not know
ing your coloring | cannot tell
you what color would be most
becoming. Turquoise blue or rose
would be attractive.

PUBLIC HOLDS FATE OF
GANGLAND, CLUB TOLD
Ballots Only Lethal Answer to
Bullets, Rotarians Hear.

Public ballots are the only lethal
answer to gangland's bullets, in
Chicago or any other American city,
G. Ray Hansen, Chicago attorney
and former investigator, told the
Rotary Club at it's weekly luncheon
Tuesday in the Claypool.
"Gangland met defeat at the polls
last April in Chicago" Hansen said,
"only because great numbers Of re-
spectacle people voted"
The law is powerless against
gangland until all public officials
array themselves with it against
public enemies, he said, citing as
an example the use of habeas
corpus writs by gangsters' lawyers
with such effect that on one oc-
casion writ was at a police sta
ton before police arrived with their
prisoner.

POLICE OPPOSE
PRISON SHIRTS
Times staff Photo

The Policemen's Association of
the District today was on record
as opposed to having shirts for
the police force made by prisoners
in various institutions, on the
grounds that such a policy would
affect adversely both the morale
of the force and the unemploy
ment situation.
In a resolution adopted at its
meeting last night, the associa'
tion composed of 1900 members
of the force, it was set forth that:
whereas, it is. common
knowledge that said persons
prisoners who would make the
shirts have been placed in said
institutions by members of the
force; and whereas. the pro-
pOsal will undoubtedly affect
the present economic depreS-
sion and interfere with unem-
pIOyment; whereas, the adoption
of such policy by the Commits
SiOners will constitute serious
blow to the morale of the force,
therefore:
BE is resolved, that the
POlfcemen's Association go on
record as being opposed to such
procedure and urgently request
the Commissioners to oppose
any such recommendations"

DEATH INSTANT,
NO INQUEST
NEEDED
Miss Myrtle Walter Had Felt
Recent High Temperature;
Had Resided Here IL Years

Stricken with heart attack as
she sat working at her desk. Miss

ham st. N. W.. typist in the
Division of Loans and Currency

before noon today, dying almost
instantly.
Death was due to acute myo-
carditis. according to DR.. J. Ram
say hewitt. District coroner, who
added an inquest will not be held.
Heart Is Blamed
Miss Walter, according to ac-
quaintances, felt the heat of the
past few days intensely. They
believe that the heart attack was
due in part to this fact.
Miss Walker was a native OF
Culpeper, Va, and had been
resident of washington for IL
years. Most of this time she
was connected with the division
of loans and currency. She was
employed as a typist in the regis
tered account section. according
to Roger c. Power, assistant man.
ager. who rushed to the woman's
aid and carried her to the relief
room.
Death instantaneous
DIR. John w. Grove, medical
officer of the Bureau of Printing
and Engraving, who examined
Miss Walter, said death had been
instantaneous. A slight wound
on the head had been inflicted
after death, he said, probably
when she fell to the floor.
Miss Walter is survived by her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Walter, of Culpeper, Va, and two
sisters, Miss Elizabeth Walter,
employed at the Census Bureau,
and Miss Lillian Walter, of Cul-
peper.
Funeral arrangements will be
made following the arrival of
Miss Walters parents, who are
expected here tonight.
