Supreme Court Backing.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18.-The
supreme court in an important de-
cision involving reapportionment of
congressional districts today ruled
that the 1911 law, requiring that dis
tricts be on an even basis of popula-
ton. no longer applies.
The courts ruling was made in a
case involving the reappointment of
congressional diStilo. in Missis-
sippi.
A three-judge federal court had
ruled that that states reappoint-
ment act, dividing the state into
seven districts instead bf eight, was
invalid because it violated the 1911
law.

DEARBORN, Mich, Oct 18.-The
reelection of President Herbert
Hoover was urged upon employees of
the Ford Motor Company today in
a message posted upon the bulletin
boards of the River Rouge plant.
The Ford Motor Company is not
interested in partisan politics. We
do not seek to control any mans
vote" the statement read.
1--WE feel however. that the COM
ing election is so important to in
dustry and employment that our
employees should know our views.
5 President Hoover has overcome
the forces that almost destroyed in
dustry and employment. His eff
forts to start the country back to
work are beginning to show results.
I'VE are convinced that any
break in his program would hurt
industry and employment. To pre-
vent times from getting worse, and
to help them to get better, Presi-
dent Hoover must be elected.
These are our convictions. and
we submit it to the serious consid-
Grafton of all Ford employees
throughout the country and their
families"

TROOPS END PRISON RIOT
AFTER 3-HOUR BATTLE

Observers pointed out that scores
could have been shot in the battle
without the outside world learning
of it, for the prison has its own
hospital and medical staff.
The justice department at Otta-
wa said firearms were used to in
timidate rioters. This comment
was made in answer to queries, but
was not in the form of an official
statement.
The department said the i'm
mediate cause of the riot was de-
mand for cigaret papers and more
hours of relaxation.

COURT BATTLE
TO KEEP DOG
Salesman Awarded 1-Cent
Damages in Suit to
Replevin Pet.
MISTAKE JUDGE RULES
Proud Way Fang Holds Tail
in Court Helps Court
Decide.

Fang. German police dog, had
a name and master today because
tn eway he held his tail in court
helped Municipal Judge Dan V.
White in decision on the dogs
identity and ownership.
A picture that any dog would
have been proud to claim as his
own also aided white in his ruling
that Fang belongs to Charles M.
Stephens, salesman, of 1854 Gull
ford avenue, who won a suit to re-
plevin his pet, and was awarded l
cent damage.
Stephens, supported by sixteen
witnesses, disproved claim of E. C.
Yount, broker, of 4735 Washington
boulevard, to the dog. He sought
S25 damages from Yount
A picture, taken Christmas day,
1881, by Stephens, showed markings
that could not be denied were
identical to those on the dog when
he was exhibited in court" White
ruled.
Likewise, the pictures disclosed
difference in manner and carriage
of the tail when contrasted with
pictures introduced by Yount"
Actions of Fang, who also
answered to the name Fritz" when
addressed by the Yount family, al
most stumped White.
The dog performed tricks for
both sides in the case during the
court fight that lasted two days.
Stephens testified the dog ran
away from home three times. He
found the animal at the Yount
home, he said.
Both parties in this case, I be-
lieve, absolutely are sincere in be-
lieving the dog belongs to them. 1t
it question of mistaken identity
by the defendant, who might have
owned a dog similar to Fang"
White ruled.

WASHINGTON ashions
BY WILMA LAvILLE

When you go shopping, don't
"just buy dress" You can find
one if you really look, that will
do something for you. 1t should
bring out the best in your figure
through its cut and line. It
should flatter your face by the
way the neckline is cut or
trimmed, and the color should
make your complexion look as
well as it can. Besides all that,
the dress should have spirit, and
the spirit should be your own
spirit, or at least the way vcu
want to feel when you wear it.
That may sound like a large
order, but just study the dress
we've sketched, and see if you
don't think it would do things
for you.
New Guimpe Effect
Lines are straight and slim,
but are broken by the fact that
the top of the dress is white, so
this dress would cut the height
of too-slim person, but would
not add to the moderate-SiZed
figure. It is black. which is easy
to match up with accessories
but the white top will make it
becoming to almost anybody,
and the square neckline is also
easy to wear. The guimpe effect
is of organdie practically GOV.
cred with tiny ruffles of val
lace, and the tiny sleeves are
puffed in a most attractive way.
The only fulncSS in the skirt is
one bunch of set-in pleats, and
the belt is of red .uede.
Wear 1t Any Time
AS you can see, this dress
would be becoming to almost any
one, but in addition it has much
more. 1t has gaiety, youth,
verve, and it will be sure to lift
the spirits of the woman who
puts it on. It's new fashion
points are the guimpe effect, the
use OF both organdie and lace,
and the smart combination Of
black, white and red. If you
need any further recommends
ton. we might add that it is ex-
tremely practical, as it can be
worn for almost any time of
day. Because it is black canton
crepe, it may go downtown to
luncheon. and because of its lin
gerle trimming, it may stay to
tea. ut is sketched from q Wash
ingtcp shop.
