What appeals to a woma n
more than an Autumn Fashion
Show. at this particular time
of the year? Nothing, if one
should judge by the horde that
gathered in a downtown de-
partment store yesterday for
three separate style exhibits
during the day.
And what gorgeous models
were displayed, several with
the new Spanish influence, lace
mantillas niue h in evidence,
stunning fur trimmed suits,
good-looking Swing" coats.
afternoon frocks, hostess
gowns, sports costumes includ-
ing the ski outfits which are
destined to hold an important
place in the Winter wardrobe.
One pretty blond model seemed
to show the most ravishing col
lection, or perhaps it was her
dash and enthusiasm which we
so admired.
At an early show we spied
Mrs. "Tom" deLashmutt, look
ing as though she might step
out and be a model herself in
her becoming brown ensemble.
Mrs. Charles E. Boles, whose
soft, sweet voice always fingers
in our memory, was discussing
the various costumes with a
companion. She wore a printed
frock with a tan background
and black and white figures,
and her black felt hat W S
trimmed with cire ribbon.
Among others who were
"st yle conscious" yesterday
were Mrs. Fulton Brylawski,
Mrs. G. M. Trammell, Mrs. R.
W. Miller, Mrs. Claude Draper,
Mrs. w. T. Davis, Mrs. Frank
Gaylor, Mrs. Samuel Silver
stein and Mrs. John Rippard.
The finale Of the show is the
Autumn Wedding" with the
three attendants wearing bout
fant frocks Of moire taffeta,
in shades of wood rose, crushed
rose and antique pink, made
with tiny puffed sleeves, and
they carried sheaves of chrys-
anthemums in russet shades.

Madrid Claims Victories
Over the Insurgents

OVSI Tic 1Iloul Culo
THOUGH the capture of Toledo
by the Spanish insurgents was a
severe blow for the government, it
by no means ended the civil war.
Madrid announces that one of the
loyalist columns broke the rebel line
that almost surrounded the capital
and re-took the important junction
town of Maqueda. An army of loyal
list miners was reported to have
reached the outskirts of Oviedo, and
reinforcements for the Madrid gar
rison were on their way from Astu-
rias province and from Valencia.
The government forces also were
said to have taken the important
town of Motrico on the Bay of Bis
cay.
Gen. Francisco Franco, chief of
the insurgents, decreed a Fascist
dictatorship and created "junta
of state" which will govern subject
to his will. In his first statement Of
policy, Franco assured workers they
would be protected against the ills
of capitalism and that steps
would be taken to regulate favor
able working hours"
"All Spaniards will be obliged to
work according to their capacity"
he said. SIN the new state no par
asitical citizens will be permitted"

Under the church relief drive, land
was leased and the needy provided
with implements for tilling. Wom-

bedding. Members have contributed

monthly to a special fund.
In scattered storehouses, Mr..
Grant reported, supplies have been
laid up in generous quantities for
distribution among the needy who
helped produce them.
Under the program, the speaker
declares, 'the curse of idleness
would be done away with, the evils
of a dole abolished, and independ-
ence, thrift, and self-respect will be
once more established amongst our
people,"

French Communists and
Fascists Clash

FRANCE may be on the verge of
civil war between Communists
and Fascists comparable to the ter
rible conflict in Spain. In Paris
desperate fighting already has be-
gun. The Reds, numbering many
thousands, and the nationalist, I'M
der orders from Col. Francois de la
ROGUE whose Croix de Feux Or
ganization was disbanded by the
government, undertook rival DEM
onstrations; and the result was a
day-long series of street battles in
which hundreds were wounded. Or
der was finally restored for the
time being by force of $4,000 re-
publican guards and police.
The ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS said the
fighting twas only beginning"
Troubles resulting from devaluation
of the franc would be severe and
numerous, they predicted. Leftists
charged the battles were part of
rightist plot to provoke trouble for
the Socialist government.
In London, also, there was big
riot in which a hundred persons
were injured. Sir Oswald Mosley's
Black Shirts, a Fascist organiza-
ton, planned a parade but Conn
munists and Socialists numbering
100000 were determined to prevent
it and battled with a big force of
east end police to get at their enc
mics. The authorities forbade the
parade as scheduled but the oppos-
ing mobs got together in various
localities and fought desperately.
Sir Oswald issued a statement
charging that ''the British govern
lment has openly surrendered to Red
terror"

Chicago Meat Packers
Cited by Wallace

CHARGES of engaging in unfair
~ practices have been filed against
the Armour and Swift meat pack
ing companies of Chicago, and Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace has
cited them for hearing in New
York on November 2, for violation
of the packers and stockyards act
of 1921.
According to DR.. A. w. Miller of
the bureau of animal industry, the
complaint was based on the charge
that the packers had been obtaining
business in violation of the law from
steamship companies in New York.
Under the alleged illegal arrange
ment, Miller said, Armour and Swift
had arranged reciprocal agree
ment by which they sold meat to
the ship owners and in return sent
their exports abroad in their ships.
Another charge was that the pack
ers had extended credit for longer
periods for favored customers than
for others.

and John A. May, Gloversville, for

The convention at its evening ses-
sion heard Col. Frank Knox, Re

date, in a strong attack on the New
Deal.
The Democrats renominated Gov.
Herbert H. Lehman, and his can
didacy was warmly espoused by
President Roosevelt, who went to
Syracuse to deliver his first speech
as an avowed candidate. The Presi-
dent took occasion to deny again
that he seeks Communist support
and alleged that issue was a "red
herring" dragged across the trail
by his opponents.

AL Smith Comes Out
for Gov. Landon

e RANK KNOX, President Roose-

air the same evening, provided a
political feast for radio listeners.
Colonel Knox, speaking at Pitts
burgh, reiterated and substantiated
his former assertion that New Deal
financial policies were imperiling
savings accounts aud insurance pol
icies. Mr.. Roosevelt, not so elo-
quent as usual, defended the spend
ing policies of his administration.
He, too, spoke at Pittsburgh. The
high spot of the evening came at
the close of Al Smiths address to
a women's organization in New
York city. He had been treating of
the New Deal and it's leaders with
biting sarcasm and wound up with
the dramatic declaration:
II firmly believe that the remedy
for all the ills that we are suffering
from today is the election of Alfred
M. Landon."

Italy's Cabinet Votes
to DeYalue the Lira

FOLLOWING the example set by
L France and other countries, the
Italian cabinet voted to devalue the
Ira, setting it's value at approx
mately So cents, as compared with
the latest previous figure of 7.6
cents. The cabinet also let it be
known that it would take action to
prevent rent and price increases;
and it voted a new per cent capital
levy to which property owners are
obliged to subscribe to the extent
of per cent of their wealth.
The gold value of the Ira was
placed at 4.677 grams of gold for
each 100 lire. Gold reserves of the
Bank of Italy will be revalued on the
basis of the new Ira with the surplus
to be placed at the disposition of the
