Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

Naturally your fancy turns
to coats in the spring, and
this season you simply must
have a new one; they have
departed so far from the beaten
path of coat fashions of the
past two seasons. They are
very different. and so like
dresses that it's hard to tell
them apart.
Their lines. collars. sleeves.
belts and fabrics are like
dresses. which is just as 1t
should be in this new age of
individuality. elegance and
femininity.

The "Coachman" coat we

tailored 18th the quiet ele-

that new, soft, faconne tweed,

fabric lends itself so happily

The skirt section wraps we'll

A Dress Detail
The belt is a dress" detail
too, of narrow kid with a

the collar and revers carry
out the dress idea, and since
they are made of shiny black

Scanned cuffs with a NOUS

Lava How in Ne1u Jersey
Drove Out Dinosaurs

TRENTON, March 2.-Gi yantic
reptiles and dinosaurs fled for
their lives millions of years ago
in North Jersey when Mother
Earth vomited lava on three &C.
casions, covering portions of the
State for hundreds of square
miles.
Remnants of these lava beds
afford many striking geological
formations, and one located in
North Jersey rivals the famous
Giants Causeway on the north
coast of Ireland, according to DR..
Henry B. Kummel. State geolo.
gist and director of the State de.
partment of conservation and de-
velopment. He says:
"The first and second Watch
ung, or Orange Mountains, are
formed by the OutcrOpping
edges of two great lava sheets
lying between beds of red Shale
and sandstone.
Jersey Was Valley
During the Triassic period,
many millions Of years ago,
when gigantic reptiles were
dominant forms of life, Central
New Jersey was a broad, flat
valley between high mountain
ranges on the northwest and
lower ranges on the southeast.
Three times, at widely sepa-
rated intervals, assures opened
in the valley floor and floods of
lava poured out, covering wide
areas under fiery deluge.
Filled All HOlIOWs
"AS the lava flowed slowly on
ward, cooling on the surface as
il moved, it filled all the hOI-
lows and depresSiOns in the val

NEW YORK.-First of her sex to plan solo transatlantic flight Miss Ruth Nichols, intrepid avia- trix, social registerite and the avi- tion worlds queen, is preparing for the greatest effort of her flying career. During this month the holder of the women's speed crown will lift her heavily loaded Lock heed Vega plane, The New Cincin- nati, off the runway at Harbor Grace, Newfoundland and turn its nose toward Paris-following the Lindbergh trail. Because of her planes tremendous speed, Miss Nichols is expected to complete the flight during daylight hours-if she completes it.
 All other women who have tried transatlantic flights have depend ed on the skill of man. Amelia Ear hart, the only woman to have flown all the way across, was piloted by the late Winner Stultz Ruth Elder, co-piloted by George Haldeman, dropped in the ocean off the Azores to be picked up by passing tramp steamer. Frances Grayson, Elsie Mckay, Princess Lowenstein-We helm and Beryl Hart all perished with the men on whose skill they staked their lives.
