LIVERY day in every way women
~ who recognize the Importance Of
selecting materials for the fashion
ing Of their costumes that can be
'put to the test and not found want
ing" are turning to handsome de-
pendable silks that are really and
truly pure silk for the solution of
their fabric problems.
The fact that lavish amount of
pleating, tucking, shirring and me-
TEDIOUS tailoring is involved in the
styling of this seasons smartest
apparel is proving an added incen-
tive to insist on silk of the better
sort that may be relied upon to
yield successfully to these varied
and sometimes intricate manipula-
lions.
Three outstandingly important
fashion trends are presented in the
illustration, each of which demon
strates the chic and charm Of silk
weaves in the current mode. For
the perfectly stunning jacket suit
the designer handles black and
white printed silk crepe as tailor
perfect as if it were wool. The
braid-bound edges Of the jacket in
terpret a highly significant styling
detail. AS to the white organdy
frill, it is "last word" in acces-
sorry chic.
The other standing figure reveals
Miss 1886 wearing navy blue silk
sheer with a pleated tunic, for you
must know that the pleated tunic is
top-notch fashion for spring and
summer. Mems wear buttons go
marching down the front of the tn.
mic pictured. Short pulled sleeves
follow the latest dictate of the
mode. Note that these are designed
to give shoulder emphasis as all the
newest fashions would have it. A
tiny boutonniere and yellow
chamois belt stress the new vogue.
AS to this matter of tunics, from
all indications they are about tt
stampede the fashion picture. If ir
doubt, choose a tunic frock is time
1y advice, for it is to be tunics by
day and tunics by night according
to reports from style centers. Some
tunics are straight and narrow while
other tunics flare about the knees
like bell or lampshade. Many
evening frocks adopt pleated skirts
with tunic tops.
Another big fashion feature is thu
blouse that is all-over pleated like
the one shown in the picture. This
blouse is Of bright green pleated sill
chiffon. 1t is worn with a black sill
taffeta suit. Note the pleated fril

Fishermen's Anchor Fouls a
Whale; They Get Speedy Ride


Riding on streamlined train has
nothing on that at the end of rope
attached to an angry whale. This
is the opinion of w. Edwards and J..
-Eeley, fishermen of Goff's Harbor,
Australia.
While they were fishing near Colts
Harbor the anchor of their launch
fouled a large whale, which started
off at about mile a minute, both
men holding grimly to the madly-
careening craft. Fearing that the
whale might dive any second and
drag the boat with it, Edwards
worked forward and cut the rope,
freeing the boat.

MAKES
WORK OF
JACK SHARKEY
Bomber Reverses June Re-
suits With Own Third
Round Victory
F By JACK cUDDY
United Press Staff Correspondents

YANKEE STADIUM, New York,
Aug. 10. (UP).-Brown-skinned
Joe Louis last night smashed back
into the heavyweight challengers'
circle by knocking out the faded
former heavyweight champion,
Jack Sharkey, in the third round,
after battering him to the floor
four times.
In his first return to the ring
after being knocked out by Max
Schmeling on June 10Th, the young
Detroit regained some of his
former glory by flooring the
blood-smeared tavern keeper Cor
the full count at l :02 of the third
session. This double-edged come
back bout was scheduled for 10
rounds.
With blood pouring from his
mouth, nose and left eye, the
semi-bald fuzzy-haired Sharkey-
the man who in a former period
fought and defeated many of the
best heavyweights of his day
tried to rise from the canVac, as
Referee Arthur Donovan tolled
over him the count that will send
the temperamental tar into perma-
rcnt retirement.
Sharkey, who, nearly "a years
old, was trying to fight back to
the title, could not regain his feet.
He took the count with one knee
and one glove on the floor, after
several attempts to rise had fail
ed. This kayo trip to the resin
was the second he suffered in his
third session. And it came after
the vicious brown bomber had bat
tered him until it seemed that the
referee must step in and halt the
slaughter.
The third knockdown came
early in this third round, when a
body smash jack-knifed the sail
or, and smashing right hook to
the chin smashed him sideways
and sent him into a diving sprawl
between the bottom and second
ring ropes. 1t seemed for a second
that the falling Sharkey might
slither off the ring apron and in

the sucker punch during his tram
ing at Pompton Lakes.
Last nights victory, the bomb,
er,s 28th in 20 fights, was staged
before a crowd that drew an estl-
mated gate of $175,0O0- which
was somewhat smaller than ex-
pected in view of the perfect
weather and the general interest
in the bout during the last three
DAYS. In scoring his oath knock
out, Louis became No. 2 heavy
weight challenger, ranking right
next to Schmeling-who was slat-
ed to meet Champion James j.
Braddock for the title during the
last week in September. However,
Braddock's manager, Joe Gould
announced yesterday that the
champion could not go through
the title defense because of ar
injured hand. Should it develop
that the commission vacates Brad
docks title unless he defends a:
contracted, Shuffling Joe's vic,
tory last night may have earned
him a title fight with Schmeling
who would probably be given the
vacated title to defend.

tant and two stenographers with
him. The rest of the staff re-

The White House alterations
also have forced Mrs. Roosevelt
and the other members of the
family to stay away for the sum-
mer. Last year the family had to
summer elsewhere because of the
lack of cooking facilities. The
year before, remodeling of the
executive offices did not affect liv-
ing arrangements, except that the
necessity for finding room for the
office staff in the White House
proper was a temporary incon-
Yenienee.

COUNTY NOTES
TAX RECEIPTS
TRAILING.

ARLINGON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Nov. 24.-Despite a sharp in
crease shown in the collection of
county tax bills this year, as COM
pared with the same period last
year, County Treasurer Charles
T. Jesse announced today that
less than $15O,OOO of the total
tax bill for the county of $780,
99O.87 has been collected to date.
With less than two weeks left
in which to pay their tax bills in
order to avoid the per cent pen
atty, Treasurer Jesse said that he
expected at least 80 per cent of
these bills will be paid before the
deadline December S.
The remaining taxes to be paid,
which include both real estate
and personal property, total
approximately $645,000.
Addresses Blamed
Since many Of the county
streets have been renamed and
hundreds of houses remembered
during the past year, Mr.. Jesse
said that a number of the tax
bills mailed out had been returned
marked incorrect address,"
Those who have not received
their tax bills to date are urged
by the treaSurer'S office to notify
the office at once in order that
the bills may be sent to the cor
rect address in ample time to al
low the taxpayer to make settle
ment before the compulsory pen
atty of five per cent must be
added.
Last years collections, up to the
two-week period before the dead
line, totaled only $4,000, Mr..
Jesse pointed out, or just little
more than half of what this years
collections have amounted to for
the same period.
Collection Tags
Commenting on the approx
mate $4,000 tax delinquency for
the year of 1884, which was ad-
vertised for public auction on De
cember IA unless paid before that
date, Treasurer Jesse said that a
little more than $1,000 of this
amount had been paid since the
list was published a few weeks
ago,
