In Sunny Andalusia.

IN EOPLE often speak of Sunny
- Spain" but the name is not
correct for every part Of the
L country.
Northern Spain has many
cloudy days and plenty Of rainfall,
and a section OF it has been called
"the wettest spot in Europe"
In general, however, Spain is sunny
enough, and there are extremely dry
parts where rain falls only q few
times each year.
The difference in rainfall points to
an important thing-the country can
not be said to have "a climate; it
has several climates. In the south,
in the region called Andalusia. there
is hardly day of Winter weather;
but in mountain parts of Spain the
coldness of Winter lasts as long as
nine months!
Andalusia Is favored by Nature.
Even in December the roses bloom.
In January, when snow covers many
lands, blossoming trees and shrubs
grace the hiliSides. In mid-Aprtl the
flower season is at its height.
The name "Andalusia" means "Van-
dal Land and takes us back close to
1900 years, to the time when Van
dals reached Southern Spain. Other
German tribes, chiefly Goths, settled
in Spain. The blood Of those tribes

Simple Beauty With Triumph Of Finesse
Smartness is Outstanding
in This Type for Spec
tator Sports Wear.
Scarfs Form More lmpor-
tant Part of Costume Than
They Did Last Year.
BY BARBARA BELL.

w YOMEN who are used to good
A/ clothes, but who do not
Wv want to pay lot for them
v this year. will be In
trigued by the simple
beauty and smartness of our pattern
for today.
Square necks are an outstanding
feature of the new frocks for specta-
tor sports wear. The one in the
model sketched Is a triumph In
hnesse. Because scarfs, if possible
form more important part of the
costume this year than last, the yoke
of the frock is cunningly contrived
with an opening in the, scanning
through which the ends of the scarf
can be drawn. The effect is devas-
tating
Triangular trimming pieces, which
are no more than stitched pieces, SIM
ulating pockets, respond in color to
the scarf and add the new note of
hip line interest.
Like many of the newest frocks,
the skirt is slim, with fullness sup
piled by side plaits in the front only,
leaving the back plain. Yokes, both
back and front are new feature Of
the sports frocks seen at the Paris
openings. An interesting example of
them is sketched herewith.
These little dresses are at their best
made in cool, wearable, packable fab
RIGS. They may be silk, linen, cotton
or wool providing the material is
washable. The colors that are lead
ing all the rest are dusty pink, sky
blue, egg shell, apricot, flattering pas
tells and white.
White for hats, bags and gloves is
the answer to the all-important in
quiries about accessories which should
be worn with these frocks.

DALM BEACH, Fla, March
- 12.-The French team,
which has become Amer
L ica's chief competitor in
the international outboard Sc
ries, today took steps to remedy
part of the trouble that caused
Capt. Jean Dupuy and his COM
panions to drift idly in Lake
Worth Saturday while the
Americans roared on to a clean
sweep.
Supremely confident because Of a
super engine developing approximate
ly 80 more horsepower than the Amer
ican motors, the French roared off to
a good start, but violent tossing
drenched the unshielded spark plugs
and the engines failed within a lap.
Drivers OF American and some other
foreign boats had wisely applied cas-
tor oil generously to ignition systems,
and the vital plugs had been protect
ed from water by various shieldings.
A council of war by the French dur
ing yesterdays race program, post

resulted in the hasty dispatching of
a messenger to Fort Lauderdale, for

These and other protective measures
were to be in place today when the
French again strove to break the win
ming runs Of Horace Tennes. 20-year-
old Northwestern University under
graduate, who has won three of four
international starts. Dupuy won the
