Rough crepes are shown for
all times of day and eve
ming says our report of the
Paris openings, and confirms
our suspicion that rough crepes
are gonig to be better than
ever during the spring and
summer. Roshanara made a
good showing last season, and
has been gaining strength ever
since. 1t has been worn not
only on the street, but in the
evening, too, and Schiaparelli
showed a very lovely gown Of
it III light pink, with a draped
scarf in wine red, in her col
lection last March. So If
you're buying silk crepe for
spring, be sure 1t is dull sur
faced, and have 1t rougher
than it was last spring, if
you would be smart.
Now in Print
Even prints are partial to
rougher crepes this year. One
downtown store is showing a
stunning roshanara in a big
splashy design, flowers that
look like they were hand-paint-
ed on the rough texture. It's
very simply made and has
short sleeves, so that it will
be a marvellous in-between
type. But no less charming
and practical are the printed
rough crepes for street and
sports wear. They have the
non-wrinkling qualities and
the tailored look of a sheer
wool. but not the warmth, so
that they are ideal for our
warm climate. And it's need
less to remind you that they
are the last word in fashion,
and can be counted on to
maintain their Smartness
throughout the season.

Polka dots, a favorite of de-
signers in both France and
America, are used ON the clever
little suit of a rough crepe that

many other important fashion

MANY PHONE CLUES
TO LOCAL POLICE
Motorist Certain Kidnapped
Child Was in Sedan
Passing Red Light.

Public anxiety for the safety Of the
kidnapped Lindbergh child resulted in at
least q dozen telephone calls to head
quarters last night from citizens whose
suspicious had been excited by various
automobiles.
One man, who did not disclose his
identity. was certain the Lindbergh in
FAINT was in an automobile which ran
through a red light on Rhode Island
avenue last night, apparently coming
into the city from Baltimore.
The man reported the machine, a
tags and occupied by a man, woman
and child. The woman, according to
the citizen, apparently was trying to
shield the child from scrutiny when
the machine passed his automobile
The informer, however, was unable
to supply the license number Of the
machine, although he described 1t in
detail. Other calls came from persons
who saw automobiles which, they
thought, should be traced in the Ma
tion-wide search for the missing child.
Police on their part were scanning
all cars arriving In the city following
teletype and radio message yester-
day which said: Look out for and
arrest occupant of an automobile bear
ing Pennsylvania tags 4476-B. Hold
car and all occupants. Flash Detec-
tive Bureau. They are wanted for the
abduction of Col Lindbergh's child"
While all reports Of suspicious auto
mobiles were Investigated, police found
nothing to indicate that the kidnapers
might have come this way.

LADDER HELD VITAL
CLUE IN KIDNAPPING
Grave Tactical Error Likely
to Result in Capture,
CriminoIogist Says.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, March 8 (N.A.N.A)!-
The superintendent of detective
agency which has been internationally
famous for many years, but who re-
fused to permit the use Of his name
or that Of the agency, pointed today to
errors which may result IN the capture
Of the kidnapers Of the Lindbergh baby.
Every criminal catches himself"
said this authority on crime detection,
and the kidnapers of the Lindbergh
child win not be an exception. They
thought they were committing a per-
feet crime They took every precaution
10 leave no trace, and when they
realized footprints were inevitable they
removed their shoes. But with all these
precautions they committed one grave
tactical error which is very likely to
cost them their freedom. They carried
the ladder to the house.
There Is a vast difference between
an amateur ladder-carrier, so to speak,
and professional and the footprints
left on the Lindbergh lawn will tell the
story. If the kidnaper Is laborer &C
customed to working with ladders,
painter, carpenter or something Ike
that his footprints will be in straight
line. II he is unused 70 putting up
ladders the footprints will show distinct
signs Of wavering.
Needed Confederate.
This may seem at first glance a
very slim clue, but you can't imagine
how important such information Is
when a suspect Is picked up.
Another thing which leads me to
believe this is a far from perfect crime
is that the kidnapers inevitably must
have had link either with some one
in the house or some one closely con-
nected with the house.
When a burglar wishes to steal
woman's jewels he knows that an ne
has to do is wait outside the house
between and in the evening, when
she is likely to 60 to her room to dress
for dinner. After he locates her room
the rest is easy. He knows every woman
hides her jewels in the top drawer OF
her dresser. No confederate Is neces-
sary to pull off such job.
Nurse Complicates Situation.
"But In kidnapping a baby an en-
tirely different procedure Is necessary.
The child is frequently put to sleep
early, perhaps even before electric
lights are necessary, so the kidnaper
must learn in some other way the loca-
ton OF the room. Even more important,
he must know the layout of the rest OF
the house and the habits OF the occu-
pants to determine the time when sue
cess would be most likely. In the case
OF child such as the Lindbergh heir
the situation Is further complicated by
nurse who is in almost constant at
tendance. A confederate familiar with
the houEhold routine thus becomes an
absolute necessity.
With these two red herring-proof
clues, the chase is of to good start,
but the police are facing tremendous
task. They will be bounded and har-
ried at every turn by hundred thou
sand cranks who remember what they
never knew and see what they never
saw. The first week may be devoted to
nothing but chasing these wild goose
stories"
