Shoes Too Take
Simple Trimming

The mannish trend is cas-
lily noticeable in spring
shoes. Their heels are never
high except for formal oc-
casions, and they are of
sturdier feathers, using per-
forations and other simple
trimmings for their only
decoration. Oxfords and ties
of various types are leaders,
with pumps second. Pumps
are often cut high, so that
they look like oxfords. Two
materials are still as good
as one, and if you can do it,
it s smarter to buy your
handbag and shoes to match,
and they may both contrast
with your costume this sea-
son. You will see blue shoes
with gray suits, beige with
blue suits, and so on, though
of course black will be as
good as ever, and there will
be some brown and gray
worn to match costumes.

Softening Features

Coupled with simplicity,
however, we have feminine
details that keep us from
being too masculine. White
touches, both frilly and tai
lored, not only add to the
crisp and fresh look Of cos
tunes, but make them lady
like and lovely too. Pleat-
ing, ruchings, fichus, tucked
lingerie touches are among
these details, but they are
not fussy. Most prints have
white in them, which also
gives a feminine look. So,
in spite Of mannish trends,
we maintain a feminity that
is utterly charming. - ..-,..

Chamberlain Parries
Questions on Debts

LONDON, May 80 QN.S0.
Questions regarding payment OF
the June IS foreign debt install
ment owed by Britain to the
United States were parried in the
House of Commons this afternoon
by Chancellor of the Exchequer
Neville Chamberlain.
Chamberlain said he could not
say at present whether he would
be able to make a formal state
ment on the debt prior to the
Whitsuntide adjournment Friday.
Washington reports that PreSi-
dent Roosevelt will ask only nomi-
nal June payments from Ameri-
cas- foreign debtors created great
surprise in British government
circles today but went without
confirmation.
Authorities reiterated that as
far as they know the United
States and Great Britain have
reached no understanding on the
June debt installment.
Suggestions that the matter
will be left to a free vote in the
House of Commons were taken
to indicate the cabinet is still
unable to reach a decision. The
vote may take place either June
13 or IA. 1t is we'll known the
cabinet is hopelessly divided, with
Mr.. Chamberlain leading the
faction opposing payment.

DENVER, May 80 G.N.SO.
Mrs. Jane B. Gillfoy, a., beauti-

died in a Denver Hospital four
hours after she put a bullet
through her brain, as the climax
of a quarrel with DR.. F. S. Hal
sted, prominent Denver physician,
in her luxurious Capitol Hill
apartment early today.
DR.. Halsted, one of the most
prominent physicians in the West,
told police that Mrs. Gillfoy shot
herself when he refused to di-
vorce his wife, to whom he has
been married for 81 years, and
marry Mrs. Gillfoy.
Mrs. Gillfoy's apartment was
in a state of wild disarray when
police arrived. DR.. Halsted showed
signs of having been in violent
quarrel. Blood was streaming
from long scratches on his face.
Examination of Mrs. Gillfoy'S
wound at the hospital convinced
authorities that she had fired
the bullet herself,

U. S. Farley Delegation;
Group Gets Orders

Senator James Couzens, (R.)
of Michigan, has accepted
President Roosevelt's offer to
serve as a member of the
American delegation to ne
World Economic COnferen> :,
it was announced at the White
House today.
Couzens, the richest man in the
Senate, was hesitant to accept,
owing to his interest in the Nor
gan banking investigation, but
after due consideration, he noti-
fled the President this morning
he would go along.
He is the only Republican
whom the President has sue,
ceeded in getting to serve on the
delegation. His independent views
enabled him to accept, it was
said.
Others in Delegation
Regular Republicans have
turned down all offers of the
President because they did not
believe it would be possible for
them to work in harmony with
the delegation, in view of the
Administrations reduction in
tariff views.
R. w. Morrison, retired banker
of San Antonio, Texas, probably
will go over as an adviser to the
delegation but not as delegate.
Besides Couzens, the delegation
includes Secretary of State Hull,
who will act as chairman; former
Gov. James M. Cox, Ohio; Sena-
tor Key Pittman of Nevada,
chairman of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, and Repre-
sentative Samuel McReynolds of
Tennessee, chairman of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee.
Corps of Advisers
Those who will go as advisers
and experts include James War
burg, financial adviser to the
President; DR.. Herbert Feis, eco.

special assistant to the Secretary
and one or two Department of
Commerce experts.

RESERVE BOARD
To Be FILLED

President Roosevelt's reorgani-
zation of the Federal Reserve
Board will be completed within
a short time, it was learned to-
day.
M. S. Szymczac, controller of
the Chicago municipal govern
ment, came into the picture as
a leading candidate for one of
the two existing vacancies which
will be filled by the President.
Strong pressure had been di-
rected on the Administration by
Chicago banking interests for the
selection of James H. Douglas,
Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury. Douglas, a Republican, has
an exceptional financial and legal
background and has been re-
tained in his present post by
the Administration because of
his intimate knowledge of the
general banking situation.
Douglas has submitted his
resignation and will be replaced
as soon as a satisfactory substi-
tute is obtained. The other va
cancy on the board may be
filled by a New York man. No
member of the present board
has been designated as vice gov
ernor by the President.

Reports that President Roose-
velt intended to propose that the
debtor nations make a nominal
payment on the June Is install
ment or otherwise use his eXecu'
tive power to adjust the debt Situa-
tion without recourse to Congress
were officially refuted today by
Stephen T. Early, presidential Sec
retary.
Describing the reports as "pure
speculation, with doubt as to the
word pure" Early, in an official
announcement, said:
"Press reports stating the
President will use treaty powers
to adjust the debts or would
permit partial payment on the
principal or the amount in de-
fault are pure speculation
with doubt as to the word pure.
"The President at this time
has no such intention and prob
ably never will pursue such a
course"
In other Administration quart
erS the reports were described as
"unadulterated bunk"
The reports, which were car
ried in two New York newspa-
pers, said the President would
use his treaSy-making power to
effect a debt settlement with
European countries without re-
course to Congress And had al
ready suggested to Great Britain
that it make a part payment, in

President
Has Fled

HAVANA, May 80 QN.S0.
All Cuba was tense today with
expectation that President Ger
ardo Machado will soon flee from
the republic as uprisings against
his dictatorial rule gathered
strength.
With the revolt temporarily
marking time, rumors spread in
Havana that Machado already
had fled aboard the steamer
Reina Del Pacifico, bound for
London.
The Presidents secretary in
sisted, however, that Machado
was at Finca Menita, his country
home, where he was keeping in
touch with government officials
at Havana.
Machado's private gunboat
yacht, fully provisioned and with
steam up, is waiting for any
emergency in Havana harbor.
Trunks are being packed at the
presidential palace, and official
information is that the Presi-
dents daughter is leaving soon
for Europe.
The extensive preparations
tend to belle this explanation,
however, and widespread convic-
ton is that Machado himself will
soon withdraw from the fray.

RALEIGH, June 28.-The first

funds allocated TO the states un-

State highway commission, accord

for highway work under this act.
This scale must then be submitted
TO Washington for final approval.
It is expected that the new wage !
scale fOE this new work will be /
materially higher than the scale /!
in effect last year of 20 cents an !
hour for unSkilled labor and 30 ,
