Hutton, heiress of the big Post cere-
al fortune, is a native of Wisconsin
and practiced law in that state un-
til 1913, when he went to Washing
ton. He was chairman of the fed
eral trade commission under Presi-
dent Wilson in 1915-'16, and was
taken along by Wilson as an eco
nomic adviser to the Versailles con-
ference. Before that he had served
as western manager of Wilson'S
campaign and as secretary of the
Democratic national committee.
and he was offered in 1918 the am
bassadorship to Russia, to Italy and
the governorship of the Philippines.
He declined, however, SO he could
run for the United States senate
from Wisconsin. He was defeated.
He was active during the recent
campaign, serving on the advisory
committee at Democratic headquar-
ters in New York.
President Roosevelt signed the
Davies commission before he left on
his South American cruise, but the
announcement was withheld until
word was received from the soviet
government that Davies was per-

VIONNET CHANGES
SILHOUETTE STYLES

Henna brown and burnt orange
are the two new shades stressed
by Vionnet in her new winter col
lection. These soft autumn shades
are well adapted to tweed sports
clothes and are shown in two and
three piece tailored suits, simple
Woolen street dresses and even in
afternoon clothes combined with
brown or black.
The Vionnet silhouette has been
slightly changed in that ;kirtS are
fuller and a bit longer-coming to
we'll below the mid-calf line Broad
ened and padded sleeves are used
throughout to emphasize the shoul-
der line and many of the sleeves
are fashioned loose and open at the
wrist.
Street and afternoon dresses are
made with severely high necks in
front which are often caught down
with clips of brilliants.
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-12-03

playing throughout costume design
this season.
Not only are sumptuous fur
borders flourishing in the mode,
but designers are performing all
sorts of tricks with borderings and
bindings of silks, velvets cut on
bias, laces, ribbons, braids, en-
broidered landings and glittering
novelties of various sorts.
To get some idea of the glamor
and glory of the situation let fancy
run to this-a youthful and enchant-
ing quaint full-skirted frock of black
taffeta the hemline of which is bor-
dered with wide Roman-striped
ribbon in famboyant red, yellow,
blue and green. Somewhere on the
bodice bit of this bizarre bordering
plays up to the Taiety of the skirt
hemline, and the effect is all that
you might suppose and then some.
However, it is not that just eve
ming costumes are doing the hon
orS with borders, for the demure
street gown has subscribed to the
border idea with an enthusiasm
that knows no bounds. 1t is ultra
chic for the very new and smart
circular cut daytime dresses of
sheer black wool, or Of the now-so-
much-talked-of suede cloth, duve-
tyn or broadcloth to be outlined with
a banding formed of braid or tiny
grosgrain ribbon in the gay and
lively Tyrolean colors or corona
ton reds, purples and blues.
So completely has the iuea of
borders and bindings captured the
fancy of designers, they do not stop
The Coolidge examiner., 1936-12-03

at mere hemline borderings for not
infrequently they allow applied
bands or inserts of lace, ribbon or
What-not to run around and around
the skirt and the bodice, one row
spaced above another. Indeed this
use of unique and versatile border
band and binding treatments is
we'll worth watching, for fashion S
spotlight is cast direct upon them.
AS to the smart fur borders that
are giving high distinction to au-
tumn and winter fashions they are
staging just one thrill after another
The three modes pictured typify
newest gestures in border treat
ments. Handsome gray wolf collars

elty-weave woolen shown to the left
This brings up the Importance of
gray fur trimmings ol- black. The
hue and cry for gray furS gains
momentum as the season advances.
A fashion which is taking we'll is
the Embroidered tunic coat. To the
right in the picture you see an in
teresting version of the general IA
vorite.
The coat centered in the group
is new among the n=west In the
first place it is all gray and
throughout the world of fashion the
praises of gray are being sung. In
this instance the material is a stun
ming gray basket wool weave with
a wide bordering of gray caracul
up-and-doWn the front. This method
of bordering with fur is the last
word"

SlllC1ldDl,
had been in Rome and probably
informed II Duce that the general,
whose attacks on Madrid were meet
ing with unexpected resistance,
might lose the war unless he were
given active support by the nations
that sympathized with his cause.
Mussolini and Hitler did not immedi-
ately announce that they would quit
the international agreement for in
tervention in Spain,
Great Britain and Russia were
stunned by the action of the two
dictators and cabinet meetings were
hurriedly called. The British are
determined not to be drawn into
the Communist-Fascis conflict but
they believe that Italy and Ger
many, especially the former, have
designs in the Mediterranean that
would peril Britain's seaWay to the
Orient and are preparing to meet
any such threat. Russia'S reaction
was awaited breathlessly, and the
soviet government was being pro-
voked still further by the fact that
General Franco declared a block
ade of the port of Barcelona, cap
itaI of the almost independent prov
ince of Catalonia. This move GER
tainly was made to stop the landing
of munitions and food from Russia
destined for the Spanish loyalist
forces. England, France and other
nations were greatly concerned over
the blockade, for the port is largely
used by their shipping. The Spanish
rebels have created strongly forti-
fed port at Palma on the island of
Mallorca that can be used as a
base for bombardment of BARGE
Iona from the sea.
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
told the house of commons that Brit
ish ships on the high seas would be
protected against interference by
either side in the Spanish war.
According to the loyalist govern
ment, submarines, "either Italian
or German" attacked Spanish gov
ernment warships at the entrance
to the Cartagena harbor and torpe-
doed the cruiser Miguel de Cervan-
tes.

said the report, docs not propose
sudden and instantaneous stoppage.
Those gradual steps should be taken
which are always essential when ad-
justments have to be made upon a
considerable scale.
There is at present danger that,
ceasing to have work for unem-
ployed persons as it's function, this
activity will undertake to replace
some of the functions of private en-
terprise in advancing recovery.
There can be no substitute for pri-
vate enterprise in the development
of improved economic conditions.
These five general conclusions
from its study were set forth by
the committee:
Experience has demonstrated the
difficulty of attempting to obtain ac-
curate figures on unemployment
through census methods.
Estimates of unemployment on a
national basis are necessarily mac
CuI due dllQ 1CilQ LIlSlllSCINSo w ChoS =
geration.
Projects of work relief should not
be allowed to take the place in any
degree of established agencies for
performance of government func-
tions.
Projects of work relief should not
he permitted to compete in any de-
gree with private enterprise for
workers, skilled or unskilled, and
should be so conducted as to en-
courage workers to seek private
employment.
1t is evident that further advance
in business activities will require
the services in private enterprise of
persons now on work relief at pub
lie expense.
