You have only, to see a we'll dressed woman and her well- dressed debutante daughter step out together this spring to realize the change styles have undergone.
 There is a decided difference be- tween the type of thing an older woman looks smart in and the cos tune the girl of 10 or 20 years will choose.
 The sophisticate is likely to pre- fer more conservative materials than the youngster. She may wear a gay color. but she probably will combine it in a charming way with a soberer tone for her costume.
 For the older woman, too, the brimmed hat has its full appeal. Heaven knows there are plenty of days when any woman over 3o welcomes the sheltering shadow of any kind of brim! As for daugh- ter, if she wants brim this year, she is likely to eXaggerate it. for she wants it merely for it's looks, not it's protection, and 1t may be either a wide floppy brim or just trife, to show which way her hat tits.
 Typical of the costume the we'll tailored sophisticate might select Is this lightweight beige tweed jacket suit, which a geranium col ored blouse and scarf to match and a geranium belt. The jacket slopes in to emphasize the waistline where the geranium belt does its bit, The plain neckline is filled in with the scarf, which is very neat one.
 The daughter wears light beige suit with a novelty weave. and lemon yellow jersey blouse, trim med with scalloped pique. Instead of coat. her suit has skirt and cape. The cape is just waist length. has fitted shoulders and ties shut with white pique scarf. This suit is trimmed with cork buttons. Her little hat, of the same color and weave as the suit, also has cork buttons on it.

New York, Dec '. (UP)-The natural laws that Commodore Nicolaus Johnscn 4. of the North German Lloyd fleet outraged for years decided to-day sho would thread on no more tocs.'"'
 The commander died at Bay Ridge Sanitarium from complica- tions following two operations at sea.
 When Johnsen's immediate com mand. the Liner Europa, docked Monday he lay in tho ship on q stretcher. growing that 1t was the first time he had left command under anything other than his own motive power. A representa- tive of the German embassy bent over to sympathize with the 63- year-oid hard-bittcn veteran of the sea.
 "do long," Johnson exclaimed. T shall tread on your toes yet" {
 To-day sailors in all parts of tho world mourned the man who had sailed tho seas since he was 12 and who was considered one of the greatest mariners of his time.
 Johngeh might have lived had he been other than n man who would not confess to pain or sub init to "coddling." He had suffered from chronic appendicitis for years and in silence. For three weeks he had clung to the bridge of tho Europa suffering attack aft CT attack of appendicitis. Finally tho pain overpowcred the captain while the Europa was at sea.

ATTORNEY GEN
 MITCHELL ASKS
 SPEEDY CHANGE
Wants the Prohibition Laws Altered So That Further Disrespect of Law Will Be Avoided

Washington, December z - (UP) - Attorney General Mitchell today exhorted congress to cbange the national prohibition laws "as quickly us possible" # 1t intends 10 change them at all.
 He said speedy action was nec- cssary to check public disrespect for law. e
 Mitchell also recommended in his annual report that Changes should bc made through amend by leaving laws on tho statute bookA and scuttling them by res fusai to, appropriate money for their enforccment.
 Tt is evident" ho continued, that tho present state Of the pub lie mind will make the task of of- ficcrs of tho law doubly difficult. and increase breakdown and diB- respect for tho law unless chnnges which are to bc made .are made speedily.
 "Turtkcrmorc, one of tho princi- pal arguments against our pro- hibition system has bccn that 1t has created diSrcspect fo rthe law. and nothing can be imagined which would tend more to create
 
 inai statutes in force but relax tho efforts to enforce thcm."
 The recommendation were con- sidered especially significant since tho attorney general long has been u staunch prohibitionist He was one of the last members of the Hoover cabinet won over to tho r0- publican platform for resubmis- sion.
 Mitchell also recommended changes in antitrust and national bankruptcy laws aB essential to businesa recovery. He advanced the suggestion that some liberal izcd anti-trust measure could Do in the present economic emergency.
 ''In tho field of anti-trust laws 1t is evident that over.production and low prices have increased the pressure from business for leglsla- ton allowing combinations and concerted action to limit pr0duc. ton and thus increase prices with. out awaiting gradual readjustment from the natural law of supply and demand.p Mitchell declared.
 "A simple process for corporate reorganization in bankruptcy should Do adopted" the attorney general huiu.
 fie said tho present cumbersome process of reorganization through equity recoivershlps and mort- gage foreciousures affords no hope. fui opportunity in many cases for the speedy reorganization of going concerns. embarrassed by debt. even through agreement Of large inhjoritics of their creditors.
 Mitchell reported that tho Bu. reau of Prohibition with n force Of 1000 field agents and fSb spe. Gal agents madc 73.Ss3 arrests during the fiscal year, resulting in fines totalling se.40e,749.

STOCKS SUPPORTED
AFTER EARLY LOSS
Market Starts Slow Recover,
Despite Initial Setback
of Leaders.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 25.-Despite
another violent break in Auburn Auto,
the stock market today showed good
recuperative powers
The market opened lower and for an
hour or two ranged we'll under the pre-
ceding close. Then it began slowly to
recover the lost ground, with various
specialties displaying strength. The
feature was another wide-open break in
Auburn Auto. The stock opened at 100,
which was up l 4 points from the pre-
Vlous close, and then swept swiftly
downward sometimes points between
sales, until at 81 it was of over II
points on the day, at a new 1882 low
and only 212 points above the low of a
year ago At this level support appeared
and a mild rally ensued.
There was nothing new at hand about
the stock or the company's affairs. Car
registration statistics show sales below
those OF year ago, but that has been
known for some time. 1t looked as il
the trouble was lack of a short In
terest.
This fresh outbreak OF weakness In
Auburn temporarily unsettled the whole
list. Active industrialS sold eff to 3
points, with the largest losses in East
man Kodak and Allied Chemical among
nduStriaLs and in Atchison and Union
Pacific among the rails. There was no
increase in volume on the decline and
practically all Of the losses we're made
up before midday. Auburn came back
or points from its low.
Meanwhile, active speculation for the
rise went on In the local fractions.
Manhattan guaranteed and Manhattan
modified both made new highs. So did
marlborough and Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit. Then demand came into the
alcohol stocks, National Distillers and
United States Industrial Alcohol, pre-
sumably on new hopes for modifca-
ton of prohibition. American woolen
preferred, which has been consistently
strong ever since the decentralization
plan was announced, went through its
old high.
This demonstration Of confidence by
the sponsors for these specialties helped
to harden the whole market. United
States Steel ranged higher on the day.
United Aircraft came to the front, per-
haps in connection with the war news
from the Far East. In any event, the
list displayed impressive resiliency.
Public utilities were unusually quiet.
Public Service of New Jersey made no
response to the good showing in its
pamphlet report. Traders are paying
more attention to the possibility Of
Federal regulation than to earnings,
so far as the utilities are concerned
