Spanish Fringe
SWisheS

Swathed waistlnes. Spanish
fashion, are with US, just as
fashionists predicted in the
earlier spring months. The Span
ish influence is quite an argu-
ment in the mode, and it ap-
pears in q number Of ways, be
sides sashes and boleroS, which
we always attribute to the
Spanish.
Spanish sailors are smart, and
win be seen in summer aS wen
as right now. They are flat
and shallow, stiff and straight,
though sometimes rolled . bit
In the Mexican manner. In fact,
1t Is rather hard to distinguish
between the Spanish and the
Mexican, so closely allied are
they. Mexican sailors, very
much like the Spanish, may be
held on by o strap or thong un-
der the chin.

Match
Handbags

This years gloves are smart
for three reasons-because Of
their cclors, their fabrics and
their details. They are not
fancy. mind you, but even suit
gloves manage to have o little
vent on the back to make them
different . button or some
small individual touch.
Sometimes color and SoftneSs
Of material is enough to diStin-
guish gloves. There's q tremen-
dous vogue right now for inde-
scribably supple doeskin, in such
gay colors as kelly green. the
violet tones, bright blue, mimosa
yellow, chamois, raspberry, car
rot and so ON. They need no
ornamentation.
Gloves are one Of the most
important accessories as used
to give color to the costume.
They can be as loud as you like,
the louder the better, and they
should either match some other
point In the costume or they
should be the one vibrant note
in q costume that Is otherwise
plain.

Copper Tones
For Hose

Newest in hosiery color is a
coppery tone, variously called
chaudron, copper and copper
glow, which goes well with shoes
Of London tan, British tan and
chaudron. 1t is a brightly burn
iShed. sunny color, and Is also
bought by people who intend to
wear it with navy and gray.
Modified copper tones, beigeS,
browns and some taupeS make
up the rest Of the hosiery colors
that are right now. Most of
them have Q sunny look, to go
with the spring picture. Navy is
being worn with navy clothes, by
. few smart people. but has not
reached the stage Of becoming
. vogue.
Texture in stockings is again
becoming important, and they
are getting to be rather elabor-
ate. There are some embroidered
hose shown in town, gay as can
be, and some with lace inserts.
There are also a good many
meSheS shown, and they are said
to be coming in for summer, in
paStelS.

Sun-Drenched CoIors

Spanish colors seem to be
summed up best as sun colors
those that seem to be
drenched in sun, and that look
well In Q sun-drenched land.
The bright yellows and red Of
. 0oya painting, vivid blues and
green's are all there, and they
can be combined beautifully, or
used as accent on neutral colorS.
Latest Of all the Spanish fash
sion items is the news that
combs for the hair are return
ing. They are Of necessity small,
as few people have enough hair
to support the huge combs Of
the Spanish dancer, but they
are worn, and some authorities
say that soon we may be draping
mantillaS over them. That Is
not hard to believe, when we've
worn everything from the Hindu
Sari to the snood on our heads.
Fringe is another lovely Span
iSh fashion, and as we get into
summer, we will not doubt have

New Colors

In colors, purple is the keynote
and shows itself in violet, mauve,
the new blues, and in some Of
the reds. Evening pinks have a
violet tone. Greens fall into
the Chinese shades; yellow is
used in accessories to contrast
with dark clothes; brown is in
the picture and, Of course, navy
Is, and black. Lots Of white on
dark colorS, too. Accents Of color
and daShes Of contrast will be
important. Much Of the effect
of color Is gained by matching
green, yellow, rose, or purple &C

CoIored Furs
Trim Suits

AS this Is O season Of feminin-
ity, In spite Of tailored suits and
coats throwing their weight on
the other side, many women pre-
fer fur trimmed suits. They are
particularly lovely this year, be-
caused Of the ways the furS are
used, and because color has en-
tered the field Of furs. real
color.
Standard ways Of putting furs
on suits and coats are Just
about out Of the picture. Furs
ara. put on in different" ways
this year, or not at all. Even
shawl collars, q favorite Of many
years standing, have to be ar
ranged so that they can be worn
high or low, to one side, or
otherwise in individual manner,
to be really smart.
The Washington times., 1936-03-31
Few

OF course many navy, black
and beige gloves are used, when
there is no need for color in
gloves, Bags match them beauti-
fully this year, and you can get
perfect ensembles in everything
from black or navy kid and calf
to the most vivid greens and
puppies, suede and doeskin
matched exactly.
Hand stitching, even when
the thread does not contrast, is
q smart note, to be found on
many daytime gloves, not only
those for tailored clothes, but
gloves for general wear, too.
Some gloves are seamless on the
back, to be different, and later
on, many novelties viii appear
The Washington times., 1936-03-31
Unusual Collars

You'll find collars mounted in
ripping fashion, in sailor style,
making a cowl or some other
novel effect. Flat furS are used
as banding, or as q small bit Of
trimming that Is more individual
than the old-time masses Of furS,
and also more springlike.
Color is as important as
mounting. FurS are dyed blue
to match navy suits, and newest
Of the new, black fur Is used on
beige and very light gray, as a
decided note Of contrast. FurS
must be individual. luxurious in
the extreme, or decidedly un-
usual, to make q suit smart this
year.

Type

For town and business some
fashion authorities recommend
q double-breasted topcoat, which
goes well with ble-breasted
suits. It, too, has wide lapelS,
rolled long, and has o plain back.
1t Is best in such fabrics as

Prints are enjoying such o

before. They are, as you know,
q typically American fashion,
for although Paris Is mad about
prints this year, it is the first
season that they have liked
them as well as we do here in
America.
It may be because we have so
much weather when nothing but
a print seems suitable. 1T may
be that we like gayer clothes,
which Is true, but at any rate,
Americans have insisted on

The raglan topcoat Is the one
that can be worn equally well

Topcoats have elements Of for
mality and informality, Just as
suits have, and there Is lots Of

Some are better for town wear,
some for sports or country, and
good news to men on limited
budgets Is that one coat Is ideal

1889 DISASTER
20-Foot Wall of Water Hit
Youngstown When Dam
Cracked.
BIZ United Press


JOHNSTOWN, Pa, March 18.-At
2 p. m, Of an afternoon At years ago.
almost to the month, a two-day rain
sent the little Conemaugh River and
Stoney Creek gently over their banks
and into the business district of
Johnstown, exactly as yesterday.
The water didn't rise as high as
it stood today.
But up the valley above Johns
town few hours later the great
North Fork Dam cracked, broke, re-
leased with a rush and roar audi
BILE for 20 miles, lake of water 70
feet deep and 700 acres in area.
In 10 minutes the wall of water,
20 feet high, struck Johnstown at
20 miles an hour. Next morning
1900 persons were drowned or bat
tered to death by debris of the de-
molished city. No other flood dis
aster of American history compared
with it.
More than $50 bodies were not
identified and were buried together
in a cemetery overlooking the city
from a high hill. A national sub
scription fund raised $4,00O,OOO for
relief and reconstruction of the
city.
In 1889 Johnstown's population
was slightly over $4,000. Today it
is $1,000.

LESLIE ATTACKS
TAX PAYMENT
State Citizens Paid Levy
Four Years Early,
He Claims.

Indiana taxpayers paid a gross
income tax TOUR years earlier than
they should have had to do, it was
commended by Harry G. Leslie,
former Republican Governor, in an
address before the Hoosier Re-
publican Club in the Columbia
Club yesterday.
Thirty-ive Republican legislators
attended the luncheon.
The former Governor declared
that state finances were such when
he left Office that it was unneces-
sary to pass a gross income tax to
pay the states obligations.
Attacks Administration
He attacked the state administra-
ton for creating an unneeded sur
plus and asserted that the admin
iStration spoke "untruths" when it
said his term in office had placed
the state in debt. He declared a
$17,000,000 balance had been left
for Gov. McNutt.
Capitalization of power, with the
creation of larger state pay rolls,
was scored by Mr.. Leslie.
1.-THE Democrats have destroyed
the check and balance between the
legislative and executive depart
ments of government by placing the
legislative branch under the thumb
of the executive branch" he said.

section. I stood there dumbfounded
as I saw the water swirling about
the very buildings I had been in
only few hours before.
The water never got up to our
place, which is half mile above
the business district, but we were
able to see what it was doing to
the rest of the town until darkness
fell. Then there was nothing to see
but the dark outlines Of the taller
buildings and the black, swirling
water from Stony Greek and the
Conemaugh River. 1t was so
frightening.
From what can tell, Stony Creek
is more to blame than the Cone
maugh. 1t seemed to be rising so
much faster. There were a lot Of
rumors about dams on the Stony
breaking, but the rumors are grow
ing faster around here than the
river is rising.
Our telephone Is one of the few
that can be connected in JohnStown,
and we have had phone calls from
people all over the United States
asking about their relatives. It
seems so strange to hear the opera
tor say Chicago calling" and have
some strange voice ask do you
know if Aunt Mamie is all right?"
Fear Hundreds Stranded
1t almost breaks my heart when
I have to tell them that I don't know
their Mamie and if I did, probably
wouldn't know whether she is all
right.
A few folks who have managed to
get out of the downtown section in
boats tell me the water reached Is
feet high at least down in the main
streets. Most of them haven't had
anything to eat since lunch or even
breakfast, so they grab bite in our
confectionery, and then go on to
some relatives or friends house.
They tell me that there must be
hundreds stranded in the buildings.
There's lot of talk about people
drowning, but no one knows for sure
what is happening down in those
dark waters.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-03-18

Il remember it was Memorial Day
when the 1889 flood hit us. 1t
rained all day and night before.
There was a celebration going on in
town.
Backwaters around two and three
feet deep began flooding the bust
ness section around 2 p. m. When
we got word the dam had broken
(the South Fork Dam, 10 miles east
of Johnstown) we knew it was bad,
but nobody dreamed how bad.
Within 10 minutes after we heard
about the dam the water rose from
two or three feet deep to about II
or IS feet.
Think what would happen if one
of the dams broke today. The water
now is 81 feet some places, I hear
add Is feet to that.
Ran to Attic of Home
We ran to the attic Of our home
and stayed there 48 hours or more.
1t was from Friday afternoon to
Sunday night. I wasn't afraid be-
cause the folks made it seem like
picnic to me. I guess my father
and mother were, though.
We saw any amount of people go
by floating on debris, roofs Of houses
and other objects. We picked up IL
bodies right in our yard when we
got out. We saw people drown
more than I care to remember.
The city was in an uproar for
months. State militia were here for
weeks. We all ate at state commits
saries set up in every section. No
matter how much money you had,
YOU couldn't buy ANYTHING.

Leaders Are Hopeful
There was some question as to
whether the House enrolling room
would be able to get the amended
bill in shape for final action by
both branches of the assembly.
However, leaders in both houses
were hopeful adjournment could be
achieved by 6 at the latest.
Speaker of the House Edward H.
Stein said the program of working
through the noon hour on the job
insurance bill amendments was to
get the bill to enrolling room as
soon as possible.
Anti administration leaders de-
clared that vast amount of book
keeping is involved in the change of
the method of calculating unem-
ployment benefits through a Senate
amendment which has, been report
ed favorably by the conference
committee. But leaders of a labor
group say the amendment saved the
bill from a Joker"
Rep. Martin Downey d., Ham
mond), labor spokesman, said:
1.-THE charge that it will create a
larger pay roll is just an effort to
conceal joker"
Bill Sent to McNutt
Final action was taken yesterday
by both branches of the Assembly
on the public welfare act and the
bill sent to Gov. McNutt for his ap-
proval which may come some time
today.
This measure is expected to
double the number of recipients of
old-age assistance, and to provide
substantial increases in the month
ly allowances based on need and not
exceeding $50 month. 1t also pro-
vides assistance for the blind
needy and dependent children and
concentrates in a new state welfare
board administrative authority over
the states penal, corrective and
benevolent institutions.
The job insurance bill was sent
to conference yesterday afternoon
when the House refused to concur
in amendments made by the Senate.
Named to the committee were Reps.
Fred E. Barrett, Indianapolis, and
George w. Wolf, and Senators I.
Floyd CARROT, Republican floor
leader, and Thurman Gottschalk of
Berne.
just before the House was to con-
vene, Rep. Barrett declared that the
committee had succeeded in ironing
out the major differences in the bill
as passed by the respective houses.
Deducted by Employer
Mr.. Barrett corrected an impress
sion that under the bill employees
would be called on to pay only g of
l per cent of wages paid them begin
ming in 1887. The levy starts at l per
cent for the workman and is to be
deducted by the employer, Mr.. Bar
rett said.
The worker pays one-half of the
amount paid by the employer to
the Federal government up to l per
cent. The employer levy starting in
1887 Is to be per cent.
1.-THE committee has concurred in
the Senate amendments with the
exception of a few clerical changes
and will report it to the House for
concurrence" he added.
