COLOR, color color with furs and

together with all sorts of other nov
city woolens In endless procession,
that's the story OF the fashions for
spectators at fall and winter outdoor
sports. Suppose we make closeup

than collectively.
The eye-filling costume In the upper

doubt good starting point, giving us
a picture OF perfect grandstand
outfit. The leopard skin swagger coat
over brown and tan plaid suit with
a coin-dotted Ascot are typical In the
realm OF spectator ensembles. BY the
way, please to notice that we said
plaid suit with emphasis on the word
suit. It's this way, fashion is making
specifa feature OF jacket-and-skirt
two-pieces Of gay plaid woolens and
for that matter OF all kinds of bright
suitings, which can be comfortably
worn under roomy topcoats.

The high-neck somewhat Russian

the material. The llpstick buttons OF
painted wood are a chic trimming

collar which may be turned up or
down at will of its wearer.
AS to the girl In the center, she Is
wearing one OF those slim. snug little
cloth suits which has the merit of
slipping easily under fur coat. 1t Is

these days Is: "Now
important that we have this
a... new deal, how is 1t
going to be untan-
cledYn And 1t occurs to me that il is
about the most important question be-
fore this government today. A chem
list can mix constituent parts of for
mula or prescription, but he never
can undo what he has done. Thus,
while the new deal has not changed
the physical characteristics OF things,
ms chemist would do In mixing O
formula. the job of getting this coun-
try settled down is one of such mag
nitude that the untangling of the skein
is going to require something more
than patience.
Consider the farm adjustment pro-
gram. Or the NRA. Or look into the
uprooting OF commerce and industry
by the various banking changes and
currency and gold maneuvers that
have taken place. And last, but by
no means least, examine the rapidly
growing pile of obligations that con-
stitute what we know as our public
debt
With reference to the public debt,
1t should be stated that this country,
after the World war9and its devasta-
tation and anlmosities had been shak-
en- off, proceeded to pay off It's public
debt at an amazing rate. After the
end of the war when the debt was at
its peak, the government owed a total
of S26, 0,OO0,00O. 1t stands today
roughly at S23, 400, 100000. In between
those two dates, when the country was
prosperous and income taxes and 9TH
er taxes we're yielding their fullest, the
debt once was whitfield down to about
$16.5oo,000,000. So those who watch
over the public debt say they entertain
no fears; that when conditions are
prosperous again there will be taxes
to pay off the debt and that no one
will complain about the vast sums now
being spent II the result is prosperity.
This payment OF the public debt,
however, is to my mind considerably
less of tangle, problem. with which
to deal, than the farm adjustment
scheme on which Secretary Wallace
and his Agricultural department folks
are laboring. 1t seems likely, from Mr..
WalIace's calculations, that the coun-
try's acreage OF harvested crops next
year will be Mt least 100000, and
may be 35,OOO.O00, acres below the av-
erage acreage Of crops planted and har-
vested annually In recent years. Emer-
gency adjustment plans are RESPONSE
Bile. They are predlcated upon basis
contemplating control of production, a
restriction against surplus that
would force prices down.
Mr. Wallace Is profoundly con-
WINGED that this course will be ex-
tremely helpful to the farmers He
sees better returns to them and he
sees greater peace of mind, which aft.
err all Is not to be dismissed lightly,
among the farm folks of the country.
But that is the immediate picture.
What Of the future? Or to quote
again the oft-repeated question: how
lis It going to be untangled?" My own
conviction Is that In the urge to get
some relief out to the farm belt, too
little attention has been paid to the fu-
ure status OF the entire commodity
production areas of the nation that can
be called farm land.

While we are discussing the prob
lens OF the new deal. 1t seems peril
nent to call attention to how advance
ment of science In commerce and In
dustry add problems with which the
professors must cope. For example.
the bureau Of fisheries Of the Depart
ment of Commerce has just dlscov
cred a way to make oysters shuck
themselves. There are thousands o.
men, and women, too, who annually
add to their incomes by shucking oys
tiers along the rivers and at the ports
where the oyster. boats come In. The
discovery OF method for self-shuck-
ing of oysters will throw good many
OF them out of jobs this winter, II the
plan works as the bureau says 1t will
work.

terms Of the Federal relief act SO long
as the workers are under the super

Some idea Of the transient problem
now being faced by the private agencies
may be gained by the estimate for
warded which shows that not less than
16,700 transients would normally be ex-
pected to ask for relief here in the four
months OF the experimental period. A
three-day census of transient persons

HOARDERS Of GOLD
TO Be NAMED SOON
Cummings Also Plans to Be-
gin Prosecutions Within
Two or Three Weeks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Attorney General served notice
today that publication Of the names
and prosecution Of gold hoarders who
have refused to return the metal to the
Government can be expected In two or
three weeks.
Talking with reporters, Cummings
said the list Of more than 5000 persons
who Vere known to have withdrawn
gold was being checked and the work
was nearing conclusion.
He said 2o7 persons had refused to
return 1921 ,Os6 of gold and that when
the final check was completed. those
who still refused to obey the Presidents
executive order would feel Federal
authority fully.
OF the persons his agents had in
terviewed. 280 voluntarily returned
$8S4. .025. while 4.l2l claimed they had
returned $27,481, ,498.
Avoid Interviews
Agents are meeting with some re-
sistance in checking the list and per-
sons whose names are on it seeking to
avoid interviews.
Attorney General Cummings also has
ruled that no form of gold produced in
this country which has been through
any smelling process can be exported
under the Presidents gold embargo
proclamation. if it is exported only be-
cause Of the value of its gold content. 1t
was learned today The opinion was
said not to change the present status of
the gold situation in this country.
Under the Presidents order. gold may
be exported when held in this country
for . foreign government, foreign
central bank or to fulfill contracts en-
terad into prior to the issuance of the
executive order and for any commercial
purpose which the President deems
Denelclal to the Nation.
Higher Price Abroad.
Gold producers of the country have
urged the President to relax the re-
strictions to permit expectation of
American-mined gold to enable them
to take the benefit of higher prices
being offered in foreign markets.
Gold in this country sells for $2067,
while in the London market it has
gone a little above $50 an ounce.
The Treasury has previously taken
the attitude that the executive order
did not prohibit the expectation of
American mined gold ore. and whether
this will be upset by the Cummings
ruling was not announced.
1t was said that there was some
'bootleeging" of American gold to be
sold abroad. but it could not be learned
to how great an extent this Illicit
trafic was being carried on. The
Treasury has said that the amount was
negligible.
