What's in Fashion?
Crisp accessories Build Morale

just the pulling on of glearn-

The fashionable white gloves are

Handbags Are Washable
Even many of the white hand
bags are washable. Patent leather

wiped off with a damp cloth. Pig
skin is kept clean with a brush and
soap suds . as are pique, mesh

One of the newest and most
practical inventions is a bag with
removable cover that can be taken
off and thrown in the laundry.
White shoes are one of the most

MINE PAY FIGHT.
IN DEADLOCK

NEW YORK, Sept. 10 G.N.SJ.
Although long discussions regard
ing freight rates, living standards,
and wages preceded the adjourn
ment of the conference between
coal operators and representatives
of the United Mine Workers until
Monday, no decision regarding
disputed points was reached to-
day.
The 100000 miners in the in
dustry would not need to take a
pay cut, as proposed by the
operators, union officials told the
conferees, if a reduction on
freight rates on anthracite could
be obtained.
They suggested jointly petition
ing the Interstate Commerce
Commission to lower these rates,
but the operators did not agree
to this.
According to the unionists, the
railroads charged so to IS per
cent more for hauling ton of
hard coal than for a ton of soft
coal.

Q.NSO. Bolivian and Para
guayan forces in the Chaco dis
trict, engaged in hostilities COM
plete in everything save formal
declaration of war, struggled to-
day for mastery of Fort Boque-
ron, one of the key points ii the
bitterly contested area.
Conflicting reports reached
here concerning progress of the
battle. Both Bolivia and Para
quay insisted their respective
troops had emerged victorious.
Both minimized their own casual
ties and stirred their native popu-
laces with communicates declar
ing the enemy had been routed
with heavy loss of life.
Fort Boqueron, one Of the nu-
merous garrisons scattered
throughout the jungle district,
was originally a Paraguayan
stronghold. 1t was taken by Bo-
livian forces early in July, when
Bolivia, charging Paraguay with
military aggression, launched its
present attempt to gain access

BOMBS DAMAGE.

Heavy police guards were on duty
today at all moving picture thea
tiers of the Loew chain to guard
against repetition of the bombings
which damaged two of them dur
ing the night, causing slight injury
to four persons.
The explosions occurred in a
Manhattan and a Brooklyn thea
ter.
The Brooklyn blast shook the
foundations of the street for 10
blocks and threw many SleeperS
into panic as houses were rocked.
In the New York theater, the
exploding bomb wrecked the lobby,
blew the cashiers cage onto the
sidewalk, and caused a near-panic
among residents in the lower East
Side neighborhood.
Detectives searched for three
men who were seen to run from
the Brooklyn show house shortly
before the blow-up. They escaped
in an automobile.

To RETRACT

Fearing the Japanese campaign
against the alleged Photographic
espionage activities of the Osaka
branch of the National City Bank
of New York would result in Sc
rious injury to the banks per
sonnel and property, American
Ambassador Joseph C. Grew made
strong formal protest to the
Japanese government in Tokyo
this afternoon.
He told the State Department
here he demanded that the Japa-
neSe government order immediate
cessation of the press campaign
and issue an official statement
absolving the bank from all
blame.
National City Bank officials in
Osaka recently took photographs
of industrial centers in Japan for
publicity purposes in the United
States upon instructions from the
banks headquarters in New York.
The Japanese press campaign
charged the pictures were being
turned over to American military
authorities.

Foreclosures

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, Sept.
10 (LN.S. AN embargo on
movement of farm products to
market until prices shall be
restored to higher levels and
a moratorium on farm foreclo-
Sures were demanded by the
National Farmers Holiday As
Sociation today before the gov
ernorS' conference here.
The embargo, as proposed.
would remain in effect until
Congress can be called into spe-
cial session to enact legislation
to bring permanent farm relief.
Speakers represented interests
favorable to the farm strike
movement and those opposed to
1t. All agreed the farm holiday was
uneconomic-that the only pur-
pose it could serve would be to
show the world that farmers are
desperate and demand immediate
and decisive relief.
Likewise, speakers for both in
terests agreed that Stabilization
OF currency, or initiation, was the
most important step toward re-
storing prices.
A number of speakers also rec
commended moratorium on farm
mortgage foreclosures and diSpos-
sessions. They didn't know how
it could be effected by State &C
ton, but thought it was as neces-
Sary in a Federal relief program
as currency Stabilization.

IS BIC BOOST
To HOPES
Governor Starts West Next
Week With Party United
Behind Candidacy
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES

ALBANY, Sept. 10 (I.N.S.).
For almost the first time since
his nomination, Gov. Franklin
D. Roosevelt was able today
to give his whole attention to
his campaign for the Presi-
dency.
Political embarrassments at
home have dogged the governor
ever since the Chicago conven.
tion. There was the Walker case,
AL Smiths silence, and Tam
many's GOODNESS. Now the
political skies are clearing and
Governor Roosevelt will turn
westward next week firm in the
belief that everything at home
is all right.
Walker Case Settled
The Walker case is settled, at
least to the extent that it is out
of the governors hands. Those
around Governor Roosevelt will
be very much surprised if the
eX-mayor makes good his threat
TO run for reelection on a ''vindi-
cation" platform.
They confidently expect that
before another week AL Smith
will come into line for the ma
tional ticket with a statement
calculated to appease the erst-
while Happy Warriors" numer'
GUS following in New York and
New England.
And Tammany's GOODNESS Is
rapidly losing its frigidity--as
evidenced by yesterdays meeting
of the State committee.
John F. Curry himself offered
the resolution which pledged
Tammany's "active and loyal sup
port of the united Democracy OF
the State of New York" to the
ROOSEVELT Garner ticket. It was
enthusiastically and unanimously
adopted. Later the Tammany
chieftain and his allies called
upon Governor Roosevelt at the
executive mansion, and everybody
was smiling when they left.
Surprise to Governor
The resolution was surprise
to Governor Roosevelt, for he had
not been appriSed of it before its
introduction. That he was i'm"
mensely gratified goes without
saying.
Curry's personal sponsorship OF
the resolution strengthened the
belief of the governors friends
that Jimmy Walker will not be q
candidate for mayor with its
consequent embarrassment to the
Roosevelt Garner ticket.
The first major speech Of Gov
ernor Roosevelt's Western trip is
scheduled for Topeka, Kan, on
Wednesday. There in the home
town of Vice President Curtis, and
in the heart of the great grain
belt, the Democratic nominee will
make a speech for which the
whole agrarian West has been
waiting-outlining his views on
agricultural relief.

SEEK NORMAN,
FIND BOTTLE

LONDON, Sept. 10 0N.SO.
An empty beer bottle in his COM
partment was the only trace
found of Montagu Norman, gov
ernor of the Bank of England,
when his boat-train arrived at
Eustcn station from Liverpool
this afternoon.
Reporters waiting to greet the
returning financier swarmed
aboard the train as it pulled
into the station. They quickly
located his compartment and
found it empty save for the evi-
denca that somewhere on the
journey Norman had quenched
his thirst.
It was assumed that Norman
detrained at some outlying sta
tion, continuing the journey by
automobile.
LIVERPOOL, Eng, Sept. 10
(IN.SO-With the aid Of a de-
coy automobile, the connivance
of customs officers and a strate-
gically laid plan of escape, Mon
tagu Norman, governor of the
Bank of England, succeeded in
evading reporters upon his ar
rival here today from the United
States
Still the mystery man" of in
ternational finance, the bearded
bank governor, remained as elu-
sive in his native land as he was
in the United States, where ne
masqueraded under the name OF
"Prof. Clarence Skinner"
An army of neWSpapermen was
on hand when the liner Duchess
of Bedford arrived at Liverpool.
All were ready to pelt Norman
with questions concerning his
mysterious mission to the United
States - whether the trip was
made in the interest of war debt
reduction, tariffs or flotation of
q new loan.
For split fraction of sec
ond during the course of his
wild dash, Norman was cornered
by newspapermen. He cut off
the babble of questions with the
terse statement, II am not talk
ing" and then slipped away.
