MOVEMENT

A New Deal' for American de.
Signers, for American textile
manufacturers, and for patriotic
American women who would
spend their money at home-thiS
Is the idea behind the Fashion
Congress of America, now prepar-
ing for it's initial Washington
meeting at the Mayflower Hotel
on Thursday.
Hailed as the first definite step
in establishing American fashion
independence, the congress Is the
affirmative answer to the oft-pro-
pounded question::
"DO American women want
American clOtheS?"
This movement, destined to be
nationwide. is slated to hold its
first local sessions in Washington
in the form of luncheon meetings,
where models will parade the
newest fashions before a jury
which will vote on them.
Jury From Society
This jury of women from the
Social Register will be changed
weekly, until the quarterly teas.
when the entire congress will be
assembled to listen to noted
American designers of women's
fashions talk on new trends and
emancipation from foreign influ-
ence.
Washington society leaders who
are recognized dictators of fash
ion will make up the first group
of the congress. They are Mrs.
Henry Roosevelt, Mrs. Arthur
O'Brien, Mrs. william Beverley
Mason, Mrs. James F. Mitchell,
Mrs. Philip o. Coffin, Mrs. James
Clement Dunn, Mrs. Leland Har-
Ia and Mrs. Mark Bristol.
The models who will show the
clothes this Thursday are Mrs.
Jasper DuBose, Miss Florence
Harris, Miss Eleanor Roosevelt
and Miss Alicia Rodgers. They
will start modelling the costumes
at one o'clock, while the judges
are at luncheon, and they will
pause long enough for the judges
to discuss the fashion points
thoroughly, and vote on their
preference.

will be permanent chairman of
the Fashion Congress, and meet
ingS will be conducted by Wilma
Laville, fashion editor of The
Times. The Washington Tines
is sponsoring the movement in
the Capital.
Among the clothes assembled
for the first meeting are beauti-
fully designed American garments.
All fabrics are made in America,
and nearly all the accessories are
made here. Two costumes by a
well known Hollywood designer
will be shown.
Washington women, long known
for their public interest as well as
their good taste in clothes, have
endorsed the ideals of the con-
gress enthusiastically, and through
a spokesman said:
ut is > splendid movement.
We are only too ready to actively

ing to be shown their output,
and when our taste is satisfied,
to purchase their designs exclu-
sively. Perhaps American de-
signerS will take hints from the
selections of the congress, and
we will have many more designs
of the type which meet with our
approval"

both United States Senators but only
five of the IS Representatives.
Young Roosevelt, on behalf of his
fathers recovery efforts, has appealed
to the voters of his district to defeat
the veteran Republican, Representa-
tive Robert Luce, and elect Mayor
Richard M. Russell Of Cambridge,
Democrat.
Numerous strong Roosevelt men, in
cluding Prof. F. w. Taussig of Harvard,
have publicly rebuked young Roosevelt
for placing the administration behind
Curley on the ground that he is not a
fit representative of the New Deal to
serve as New Deal Governor.
The most amazing development of
this campaign has been the refusal of
Gov. Ely, a lifelong Democrat who
nominated Alfred Z. Smith for the
presidency at the 1882 Democratic
National Convention, to support Curley.
Ely, in the primary campaign, re-
peatedly told the Democrats that
Curley was unfit to hold the Office of
Governor, but they refused to follow
his advice and gave Curley 100000
votes to 10000 for Brig. Gen. Charles
H. Cole, the Governors candidate.
Frank A. Goodwin, an enrolled Re-
publican defeated by Lieut.. Gov. Bacon
in the primary election, is running as
third candidate without any party
label. He is chiding both candidates
on the stump, but his attacks have
been chiefly directed at Bacon. 1t has
been charged that his candidacy was
promoted by and is being financed by
Ctrley, but there has been no evidence
to support this charge. Goodwin will
deprive Bacon Of many Republican
votes.

terms of the measure have not been
made public and will not be an
nounced until Secretary Swanson ap-
proves it, the proposal contains pro-
visions for the gradual upbuilding of
the commissioned personnel to 1000
officers; an increase in the number
of midshipmen at the Naval Academy
from 8 to for each member of
Congress for the term beginning in
1885 and to thereafter; some in
crease in the number of midshipmen
appointed by different methods, and
to limit, in time of peace, the number
of flag officers to So, of captains to
240 and of commanders to 500. The
measure also contains provision to
increase by 80 the number of dental
officers in the Navy. Rear Admiral
P. S. Rossiter, surgeon general, has
recommended this increase, and the
board, headed by the Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy, which considered
reorganization of the naval estab-
hshment, recommended one dental
officer to every 500 of personnel in
the naval service.
