Dark red with white is combined In
lovely Summer silk The large flower
pattern in white is sufficiently broken
to keep the design from being too evi-
dent There is a graceful scarf collar
that covers the arms to the elbow and
a cluster OF dark red silk flowers at the
left side at the waist. The skirt is
rather long and moves easily as the
model walks. Another dark red with
small white figures is a street dress
trimmed with white pique vest and
bows-very smart. A majority of the
lovely print frocks depend on cut and

long bracelet sleeves, too, the kind that
are full and have elastic at the wrist.
They take a wide piece Of material and
swathe it around the waist and even
down to the hips, There are some very
attractive prints in small floral designs
using dark and medium brown. tan, yel-
low and white. Many blue silks have
white coin spots and large egg-shaped
designs close together, SO that you do
not see much background. A pretty
light beige silk with bolero and three
quarter length sleeves has a large
brown moire ribbon bow at the front
of the neck and a sash of the same
brown ribbon tied in the front Beige
and brown with a touch of orange IS
good. too. This afternoon frock has a
bolero around one side only and Is
caught up on the other shoulder with
cylindrical ornaments of brown and
orange, while the sash is half and half
of these two colors. Another pretty
afternoon dress is in blue chalk pastel
with Irish lace yoke, while Its mate
nearby is pink pastel trimmed with
white organdy; both very youthful and
altogether adorable.
Pale beige with beet red is happy
color combination. The red gives Just
the right dash and character to the
neutral tone of the beige. The Wash

of these and they attract attention.
One has a deep cowl cape collar OF
red over beige dress with very
straight lines, having a section of fine
pleats introduced on the left side and
an odd belt buckle Of red. Snakeskin
shoes and bag and a beige straw hat
are the proper accessories for this
dress, and worn with one of the new

the runway she began to unwind the
satin wrap which was crossed in the
front and passed around the back, then
brought forward again to hang over
the arms, and here is the secret: 1t
was one very, very long piece of wide
white satin with short band of black
fur attached to the center, where 1t
would come around the necki 1t was
very clever and with the classic sim

stunning.

broidered in crystal tubes and at the
waistline a loose self-adjusting section
of material allowing for slight differ
ences of figure. At the bottom of
this the dress is moulded tightly to
the figure and is again embroidered.
The fullness begins high and the EN-
broidery gradually loses itself, SO that
from knee length to the floor the gown
is soft, billowy and floating.

part of lace or chiffon Jacket which
apparently is part Of the dress and yet
may be removed If desired. However,
there are dresses with long sleeves
that stay in.
Use of Flowers.
HAVE you noticed that flowers are
being used great deal around
the front of the waist on chiffon dressesP
1t is an attractive Springtime gesture,
these garlands. A lovely flame chiffon
is garlanded in white silk flowers just
below the scarf drapery at the waist.
This Immediately suggests many pos
sibilities for a bit Of remodeling too.
Another use of flowers is on lovely
Powered chiffon evening dress, following
the same general lines as the dress just
described, but at the front of the waist
is a cluster of flowers of colors matching
those in the gown and they are sewed
on like fiat bouquet directly in the
front. There are so many ways OF
using flowers. One lack crepe evening
gown with the w high crossed
decolletage has sho-. 1leeves under the
crossed bands and ese are entirely
covered by huge white lowers with large
petals.
Accessories.
HAND bags and gloves in all their
l. l. variations of design and material
are making decided overtures to Spring
shoppers and whether you are complet
ing your new costume, adding fresh
touch to an ensemble not quite SO new
or Just looking for an acceptable gift,
these two items suggest themselves as
possibilities and they are always fas-
cinating. Here, as elsewhere, We find

for they don't show the rain spots!
Scarfs of spun silk are being feat
red. This material has dull ap-
pearance and is heavier than the
crepe silks that we have become ac-
customed to. For the most part, they
are printed In geometrical designs.
Candy-striped scarfs are effective on
black suits
Shoes like all the other accessories
of Spring are colorful and designed
to meet all tastes. In line with the
prevalence of blue as a general Spring
favorite, the shops are showing blue
kid shoes, plain pumps. cut-outs with
trim of snakeskin and ankle straps and
sandals in various styles of openness.
Sandals are popular Some very
pretty thin strap sandals are Of Spring
green with pipings of beige. Cloth
shoes are also being shown of black
and dark blue with trim of patent
leather. These are very chic.
Linens and cottons will be worn
great deal this Summer for sports and
other uses White linen tennis dresses
with mesh yokes are a safe bet for
Spring tournaments. These are already,

SEEKS DRY PLANK UNITY.
President Plans Conferences TO Arrive
at Understanding.

BY the Associa led Press.
President Hoover will hold another
conference soon with party leaders III
continuation of efforts to arrive at an
understanding between vets and drys
on the prohibition plank to be included
in next months convention platform.
This became known today as high
council of organized dry leaders was
summoned to meet here next week to
consider, among other things, how to
attack the problem presented by a
growing list of prominent prohibition
lists In both parties coming out for
change or an opportunity for the people
to express themselves again on the
eighteenth amendment.
Confers With Leaders.
Mr.. Hoover discussed prohibition and
ether convention matters for nearly
three hours at the White House late
yesterday with Postmaster General
Brown, his preconvention campaign
manager: James Francis Burke, gen.
eral counsel of the Republican National
Committee. and Charles D. Hilles, Re-
publican national committeeman for
New York.
While Mr.. Hoover is expected to re-
main publicly silent himself on the
subject, some of his advisers are rep
resenting him as standing firm for en-
forcement of prohibition, but as study
ing an expression by the party recog-
nizing the referendum principle.
Will Organize Strategy.
After a regular session next week
by the National Prohibition Board of
Strategy the national conference of or
ganizations supporting the eighteenth
amendment will convene to discuss the
individual opinions of prominent drys
that some proposal for prohibition
change may be inevitable this year.
The board will organize strategy for
the period from now through the June
conclaves in Chicago. DR. Edwin c.
Dinwiddie secretary of the board, said
today it would go to work ''on the
theory that both Republicans and
Democrats, en- sober second thought
will refuse to take position that would
drive away dry support"
DR.. Dinwiddie, who recently turned
cold shoulder to all suggestions for pro-
hibition change shown to him by promi-
nent Republicans, said the problem
thus presented to the organized days
naturally will be considered in next
weeks meetings.
The President during the forenoon
today conferred at some length with
Representative Beedy of Maine, one of
the prominent Republicans of that
State and one of the mCst ardent drys
irf the House 1t is understood that
the President discussed with the Maine
Republican the matter of the so-called
prohibition plank in the platform. but
MIR. Beedy would not admit this. In
answer to questions, Mr.. Beedy replied
that what he has discussed with the
President was confidential and he was
not at liberty to make it public.

CHICAGO, May 25-A letter in which
Representative Fred A. Britten, Repub-
lican, Illinois, said he was "as certain
as it is possible to be" that President
Hoover Would seek reelection on a wet
platform, was made public today by
Julius Klein, Republican nominee for
Congressman at large.
Britten is now serving his tenth con-
secutive term in the House of Repre-
sentatives. When the Republicans last
controlled the House he was chairman
of the Naval Committee. Klein said he
had been communicating with Britten
for some time concerning prohibition
and other national issues In a recent
letter he quoted Britten as making this
statement:
L am as certain as it is possible to
be that President Hoover will run on
wet platform which will be adopted
by the Republican National Convention
in Chicago on June IA, so that you
and I need have no compunction about
supporting him for reelection. and If
he runs on such a platform, the Repub-
licans of the North will be sincerely
wet. while the Democrats of the South
will be but politically wet for campaign
purposes"

LINERS MAIL PLANE
SENDS S 0 S AT SEA
Craft Calls for Help When 100
Miles Away From the
S. S. Europa.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON, May 25.-An S o S call
from the mail plane of the steamer
Europa, en- route to Boston from the
transatlantic liner was picked up to-
day by the Castle Island Radio Station.
The call was sent out when the plane
was approximately 100 miles from the
steamer, and 600 miles east of Boston.
Coast Guard officials broadcast mes
sages to Coast Guard or other vessels
that might be in the vicinity from
which the call for help was dispatched
calling upon such craft to render aid.
They expressed the opinion that the
plane had experienced engine trouble
and probably had been forced to alight
at sea. The plane was equipped with
pontoons and should be able to remain
afloat, they said, until the Europa over
took it.
The plane was in charge of Lieut..
Joachim Blankenburg, with Lieut. Karl
Kirchoff as co-pilot and radio operator
They flew the plane on the previous trip
to America and alighted at the Boston
Airport, having run short of fuel en-
route 70 New York.
The distress call was sent out about
an hour after the plane left the Europa.
It was due tonight
