Top-Notch Designers Don't Outsmart
Relief Stylists, WPA Show Reveals
BY HELEN LINDSAY

Not a fashion writer in Indian
apolis covered the most unique
style show ever held here. Yet
mannikins never walked down a
runway with their hearts more in
their models than did these.
Schiaparelli never dreamed of the
costumes in which they appeared.
Augustabernard would have con-
sidered them decidedly mot the
thing" But to these women, who
have lived for the last few years
on relief, they were important gar
ments, for they we're all they had.
The style show was given at the
Brightwood Self-Help Center at
the beginning of sewing course
which meets three times a week,
under the direction of Works
Progress Administration. It's pur-
pose was to find the needs of each
woman, SO her winter clothing
would give the appearance of an
assembled wardrobe, rather than
of cast-off clothing. Yet that
wardrobe was to consist of made
over clothing donated to the or
ganization.
From Relief Families
Each student is from a family
which is on relief, or in which
some member is employed on a
WPA project. Each woman wore
in this style show what she had
in preparation for winter. Some
had only a dress or hat or a coat
which would serve in cold weather,
and had to supplement these with
summer clothing.
In the discussion period which
followed, the teacher and other
members of the class helped to
work out a list of things which
would make an attractive ensem-
BILE. Possibilities were limited to
the materials which had been
donated.
General color schemes were
considered carefully. No matron
visiting a de luxe department store
considered combination of ma
terials, styles and shades with more
interest.
When each individual wardrobe
had been planned, the class start
ed work. The work is being done
on four sewing machines. The
women take turns using them, ar
ranging their schedules SO hand
work can be done while others
take their turn at the sewing ma
chimes.
A similar style show was TO be
held this week for children, to

Women Workers Attacked
Pauline Schroeder and Leila
Mitchell, workers in the plant. were
attacked by the picketers as they
attempted to enter the building.
Both were virtually disrobed.
Company officials Immediately an

plant.
Chief of Police Basil Cox indi-
Gated charges would be filed against
the attackers if they are identified.
The women strikers we're accom-
panied by their husbands and ap-
proximately 25 miners from pits in
the area, Cox said.
Peace Efforts Fail
Several attempts have been made
to halt the strike.
Robert w. Cowdrill, regional di-
rector of the Federal Labor Rela-
lions Board, brought union and
company officials together for a
conference, but they failed to reach
an agreement.
The company suspended oper-
ations temporarily during another
disturbance at the plant and it has
been reported the machinery and
equipment may be moved to Evans
Vile.

Six MirucIe' Cures Laid

Slclan explains. The numbneSS later
disappeared but a state of fear set
in and the young man could not
walk.
Having satisfied himself after nu-
merous examinations that this was
the case. the physician explained
the situation to the young man and
told him he would be able to walk
out of the Office that same day.
A powerful electric current was
given to the muscles of the front
of the leg. They contracted vio-
lently. The football player then was
told to try to help the electric cur
rent and contract the muscles with
each stimulation.
In a short time the doctor shut
the current off. The patient. not
knowing this. kept on moving his
leg. Convinced then that all was
well, he walked out without diff
ficulty.

After the commonwealth has been
in existence for 10 years the islands
are to be granted complete indie
pendence
The commonwealth is to be for
mally inaugurated tomorrow at
Manila. Dapper Manuel L. Quezon,
who served his people for many
years in the United States Con-
gress as resident commissioner, will
be the first president of the new
government.
Frank Murphy, who was governor
general of the islands during the
old regime, will be American high
commissioner of the commonwealth.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent the following
message to President Quezon:
Il send my heartieSt congratulate
tons upon your Inauguration as the
first president of the common
wealth of the Philippines and my
best wishes for the success of your
administration

According to one version. the

from Washington that the National

not TO be operated by enlisted men.
The question is, whether this refers
TO regular Army men or whether it
also would exclude members of the

ciflc instructions that the trucks are

vate citizens. paid at the regular

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-As soon
as circumstances permit after to-
days elections in Great Britain,
Foreign Minister Sir Samuel Hoare
plans to attempt a world confer

materials to remove the chief cause
of war.
The life OF death of the League
of Nations is seen as hanging upon
a satisfactory solution of this and

Difficulties Are Enormous
1t has been intimated to the
United States that the subject might
be brought up at the naval con-

ever, has discouraged the idea on
the ground that the naval confer
ence faces plenty of grief without
adding more
Sir Samuel, therefore. is expected
to bring the matter up at Geneva if
and when the Italian Ethiopian war
allows.
The difficulties admittedly are
enormous. Few qualified observers
believe such conference can sue

Even the United States, perhaps
the most favored of all the great
powers, is not completely self-suffi-

SHANGHAI, Nov. II. -
Persistent rumors of impend-

both in Shanghai and in North
China threw this city Of
1000, 900 people into panic
today, although there were no
new developments in the tense
situation to warrant the in
creased nervousness.
In the native city of Chapel and
also in the japanese district of the
international settlement, home CT
about 10000 japanese, residents
were greatly alarmed Many thou

Taxicab owners, rikisha men and
local express companies repeatedly
have exaggerated current rumorS to
stimulate their business, which has
been booming.
Widespread popular fear caused
surprise among those conversant
with the present state of Sino-
Japanese relations 1t was because
of the apparent relaxation of ten
sion at Shanghai that WI Te-chen,
mayor of the city. postponed his
intended return here from Marking,
where he was attending the con-
gress of the Kuomintang, govern
ment party.
The japanese consul-general re-
turned to Marking from Shanghai
today and called on Vice Minister
Tang Yu-jen. The object of his
visit, it was said. was merely to
request that renewed efforts be
made by the Chinese government to
suppress anti-Japanese activities.

HooSier Envoy to Spain

Indiana Politicians 0ratory,
Writing to Be Used,
VanNuys Hints.
BY JOE COLLIER
Times stan Writer

Copyright, 1885, The indianapolis Tines
Claude G.. Bowers, native Indiana
political figure, may be recalled
from his post as ambassador to
Spain soon so that his writing and
oratorical ability can be used by the
Administration in the 1886 cam
paign.
This prediction was made today
by Senator Frederick VanNuys, who
is in indianapolis for a series of
political conferences.
Bowers campaigning gifts will
do the Administration no good so
long as they are IN Spain" Senator
VanNuyS said, and I believe the
Administration can use them to adj
vantage.
Unhappy, Senator Says
Then there's another reason for
the recall, l suspect. Claude is UNI
happy in Spain. His salary does
not pay his expenses and every time
he entertains, as is obligatory, he
has to go into his own funds 10
pay for it.
Il saw him when he was in
Washington last time and he told
me then that the business of being
ambassador to Spain was not a
financial success. He said then that
he wanted to come back, and 1 be-
lieve his wishes are going TO be re-
Spected'
Mr.. Bowers was sent to Spain as
ambassador early in the Roosevelt
Administration. He long had been
a power in Democratic politics and
was keynoter at the Houston con-
vention that nominated Al Smith.
Previously he had been an edito-
rial writer on the old New York
World, and he is biographer of
note
Mr.. Bowers was born in Hamil
ton County, Indiana Nov 2, 1878.
He attended Shortridge High School
and distinguished himself in debate.
Upon graduation he began his news
paper life as reporter and assistant
editorial writer for the Indianapolis
Sentinel.
Secretary to Senator
From 1903 to 1906 he was an edi-
torial writer for the Terre Haute
Star and during that time, in 1904,
ran for Congress under the spon-
Sorship of John E. Lamb. In 1911
he became secretary to Senator John
w. Kern and continued in that ca
pacity until 1917.
In 1917, he became editor of the
Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette His
literary fame Spurted when he pub
lished The Party Battles Of the
jackson Period" In 1923 he went 10
the World
Other books by Mr. Bowers are

Struggle for Democracy in America, -
issued in 1925: william Maxwell
