FashionabIes True TO
Navy as Fleet Of New
Fashions Reach Port

The blues, from deep navy to the
lighter shades, strike up the band
this spring. Navy. always syn
onomous with the season, Is certain
TO be more popular than ever.
II is easy to understand. All VIM
ter long I've been wearing black or
brown coats and so have you
and you. What smarter relief than
to shed them in favor of navy blue?
It is easier to wear than either of
the other two colors. There isn't
a woman alive who really can say
she doesn't look well in navy. So
I recommend that from the top of
your head to the tip of your toes,
YOU dress in navy.
Its great popularity is evident
Every store in town has had VIM
dows of il. I had to be dragged
away from some of them, they were
that intriguing.
The Navy Family
The entire costume may be car
ried out in navy and easily
carried out, for it is one color that
invariably matches. Start with
dress coat or suit. Choosing hat,
bag, shoes and gloves all to match,
will be very easy.
But let me give you a bit of
warning. The smartest women do

and folds and pleats grew and grew.
II was only natural TO expect a
sharp reaction. That reaction Is
how making itself apparent. Sports
backs for spring go in for simple
lines. The one that is being worn
by the best dressed men at the var
ious eastern universities is the Gus
set Sleeve. as shown in this column.
This suit carries a simple back. Two
short pleats. or guSsetS, extend ap-
proximately eight inches below the
shoulder and two side vents at the
bottom of the jacket are the limit OF
its sportiness
Although I say that this Is the
one suit that is most important
from a high style viewpoint, I don't
mean that all other sports backs
are not in style. All this means
that simpler sports backs are grow
ing in importance and well dressed
men will watch this trend closely.
Fabrics for sports suits are bold and
colorful The foremost single color
is a Glen Urquhart plaid in deep
bronze Following closely are the
mixtures of grey, blue and brown
with green. These mixtures appear
in plaids. hounds tooth checks and
solid colors with colored overstripes.
Cheyiots. shetlands and tWeeds are
greatly favored.
Mixed suits, that is, sports jackets

SNAKE MURDER
WITNESS ILL
AT0WN TALE

LOS ANGELES, June rs I.N.S0
All his former glibness gone, and
i'll at his own revolving story,
Charles Hope, a young former
sailor, was recalled to the witness
stand here today to give further
details of how he twice purchased
deadly rattlesnakes which he knew
were going to be used to inflict a
horrible death on a woman.
Trembling and white, Hope
created pandemonium in the
crowded court room where he ap-
peared as the States star witness
against Robert S. James, barber,
accused of Staying his seventh wife.
Mumbling almost incoherently
from the stand, Hope testified he
purchased the "hot" snakes after
James told him some others he
had obtained wouldn't work"
For the first time since his ar
rest several months ago, the Stocial
barber blanched at the horror of
Hopes testimony. A woman spec
tator uttered a short moan and
fell forward in faint.
Judge Charles w. Fricke raped
for order and urged Hope to speak
more coherently. The witness said
he was "too i'll to talk" and was
dismissed.
Witnesses testified to the find
ing of the nearly-nude body Of
Mary Bush James, a bride of few
months, in a fish pond. The oft
married barber is accused of MUIR
dering her to collect her 100000 in
surance by drowning her in a
bathtub after forcing her bare leg
into a box of rattlesnakeS.

Taylor, of Brooklyn, who re-

citation of motorists who drive so
recklessly that their cars splash
mud and water on pedestrians.
His comment was made as he
placed on probation Samuel Mat
alon, of Brooklyn, who pleaded
guilty to slashing with a pen
knife a driver who had splashed
him. The driver, Stephen Bon
giorno, was only slightly hurt.
Judge Taylor said:
II can readily understand the
anger of this defendant, but of
course / cannot excuse his use
of a knife. Automobile drivers
who drive reckleSsly through
puddles, splashing water and
mud on pedestrians, are guilty
of assault in the third degree
