 And another raises her hands. eyebrows and shoulders and says "Mon Dieu. the newest thing out K the hat without any brim!" We give up. No crown. No brim. We may he stupid. but why not com binc the two and Just have no hat at all?
 But seriously. since we must get that way now and then. these two types of summer bonnet do actual ly exist. We've seen them both and they arc the handiwork of our Big Houses. Worth, for instance explains one of tho crownless spe- cie thusly:

MOSCOW HOPEFUL
Of RAIL HARMONY
Break With Japan Over Sale
of Chinese Eastern StirS
Soviet Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August 18.-In spite of
the furry and the indignation ex-
pressed by the Soviet press over the
breaking off of negotiations for sale
of the Chinese Eastern Railway to
Manchukuo, there still Is hope in
Moscow that an agreement will be
reached ultimately.
The strained relations between the
U. S. S. R. and Japan and Manchukuo
and the charges of an unfair campaign
against Russians in the Far East
continued today.
Russian officials are resentful over
the contention of Japan and Man
chukuo that the long railway has lost
its value and insist that the Soviet
Union has been more than generous
in offering to accept 100000 yen
($48, ,000), which is about one
fourth the price originally fixed on
the basis of construction costs.
There is a difference now of only
40 600, 900 yen in the Manchukuo bid
and the amount asked by the Soviet
Union. AS Russia has offered to ac-
cept two-thirdS of the payment in
goods, many foreign observers here
believe the gulf will be bridged with
out serious impairment of Russo
Japanese relations.
Rumors that Japan may declare
martial law on the railway APPARENTLY
created little excitement in Moscow,
which has become accustomed to fur

SOVIET AIR CIRCUS
SHOWS BIG ADVANCE
Spectacular Aviation Stunts Put
Russian Flyers Before For

BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, August 18.-The Soviet
Union gave a spectacular demonstra-
ton of its progress in the air since
the Inauguration of the first five-year
plan at today's celebration of "Avia-
ton day." Foreign diplomats and
military and civil aviation officials
were present for the event.
The most spectacular feat per-
formed was simultaneous leap of rs
parachutists from three large planes.
Throughout the day fireworks and
cannonading accompanied the maneu-
vering of military planes.
Moscow newspapers devoted consid-
erable space to the development Of
-mindedness in the Soviet Union
and emphasized Joseph Stalin's state
ment that the first f1ve-year plan gave
Russia an aviation industry.
One million acres were sown with
grain this Spring from planes and
aviators engaged extensively in the
fight against insect pests. In addi-
ton flyers opened up many new areas
in the Arctic regions and Central Asia.
The total length of the Soviet air
lines was raised this year to $4,000
miles, an increase of one fourth.
Successful demonstrations were
made today Of air trains, consisting
of an airplane drawing three gliders
attached to it by cables.

AUTOMOBILE CODE
ACTION DELAYED
N. R. A. Postpones Hearing
as Labor Board Seeks to
Strengthen Position.
NV the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The N. r. A. yesterday postponed
action on the trouble charged auto
mobile code while the Labor Relations
Board moved to strengthen its ma
chinery for settling other labor dis
putes.
With the American Federation of
Labor asking for higher wages and
shorter hours for auto workers, N. r. A,
said a hearing on extension Of the
code would not be held until the in
dustry submitted its proposals.
At the Labor Advisory Boards re-
quest, a hearing on extension had been
set for August 81. The code expires
Septembed 4. William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, is a member of the Advisory
Board.
1T is the intention of the admins
tration, in view of pressing requests
from affected interests, that the pro-
posals of the industry when made
shall be the subject of public hear
ing" N. R. A. said.
To speed settlement of disputes. the
Labor Relations Board will name IL
paid directors to succeed the present
chairmen of Regional Labor Boards
Bruere to Call Conference.
Meanwhile, Robert Bruere, chair
man of the Industrial Relations Board
for the cotton textile, silk and wool
manufacturing industries, said he
would call representatives of both the
employers and the workers to meetings
here next week A general strike is
slated for September l.
Fred Keightly, Labor Department
conciliator in the aluminium strike, re-
ported to the department he would
meet again with officers of the Alumi-
mum Co. of America tomorrow in
Pittsburgh in his effort to arrange a
settlement.
Higher wages, shorter work week
and the much controverted merit
clause" In the code are the issues In
the automobile situation.
Several Directors Named.
Several of the regional directors al
ready have been tentatively chosen,
Lloyd Garrison, chairman of the labor
board, said, but their names are not
to be made public until the entire
slate is filled. Salaries will vary ac-
cording to locality. knowledge OF
labor problems, Garrison said, is to
be the principal qualification.
"At the present time, the chief re-
sponsibility for the successful conduct
of each regional board depends upon
its chairman" the memorandum said.
"The chairmen, for the most part
busy men with important responsible
ties, have given freely of their time
and at great personal sacrifice. A
few have found it necessary to resign
and a few others have indicated they
may not be able to continue much
longer. The change which is sug-
gested is to centralize the response
bility for the functioning Of each
regional board upon full-time, paid
director, selected by and working un-
der the close supervision of the Ma
tional Board.

Il lected autographs of eminent

sheet after sheet was filled. Eventu-

and his cabinet joined with him. other
