NEW YORK, March 11.-(NFA)
IN New house dresses, smartly
designed and made from lovely
fabrics, are striking contrast to
those voluminous, colorless, apron
like things of yore that made you
look as big as a barn and about
as interesting as the foundation
under it.
In the hands of designers who
realize that just because you wash
your own dishes is no sign you
want to look dowdy, modern house
dresses now are beautifully tai
lored. In fact, many of them can
be worn over a street dress by a
business girl in the office or by
the home woman when neighbor
drops in for a few minutes.
DERSIAN prints are the new
L est idea. You'll find double
breasted dresses (these look a lit
tie like your REFER coat, smock
varieties and shirtwaist types in
natural cotton crash with floral
motifs that are exact copies of
printed designs found in rare old
Persian tapestries.
For instance, the pretty little
three-quarter length smock,
shown at the left here today, car
ries out the famous "Tree of Life"
pattern. The background is nat
ural tan. The predominating
color in the print is wine red. 1t
has small Peter Pan collar and
three sets of two clipped-together
ball buttons down the front.
The smock dress, in the center,
also three-quarter length, is
form fitting at the waistline, but
flares gracefully from there to
hemline. The printed pattern, with
medium blue predominating, is

palms and tiny flowers, the COM

and summer in Persia.)

! HUNGARIAN
LEADERS SET
FOR DUEL
Prime Minister Goem-
boes Challenged by Foe
In Political Feud

BUDAPEST, April 6 G.N.S0.
Prime Minister julius Goemboes
today was challenged to a duel
by DR.. Thor Eckhardt, opposition
leader, bringing to sword-or pis-
Hotpoint a political feud Of
years standing.
The enmity Of the two states
men reached the explosion point
during a quarrel at a meeting Of
the foreign relation committee Of
Parliament.
DR.. Eckhardt hurled at the Pre-
mier, who had just returned from
a conference in Rome with Pre-
mier Benito Mussolini and Chan.
cellor H. Kurt Schuschnigg Of
Austria, in which Austro-H ungar-
ian.Italian cooperation was fur
ther solicited:
"YOu are an unreliable rep
resentative of Hungary in inter
national affairs"
Goemboes, his patience burst
ing, retorted:
This is too impudent!"
DR.. Eckhardt shortly afterwards
sent his seconds to the premier's
home.
A court of honor will decide
whether Sabers or pistols will be
used, and will set the time and
place for the affair of honor"
The challenge places Goemboes
in a difficult position. AS prime
minister, he is forbidden by law
to participate in duels. But as a
general in the army, he is bound
by the military code of honor to
accept the challenge.
Other statesmen and friends of
the quareling pair hope their diff
ference will be patched up before
blood is shed in an affair that
might cause a political eruption
in Hungary with serious repercuS-
SionS all over Europe.

500 Dead In Gainesville,
Is Report of Red Cross

ATLANTA, Ca, April 6 d.N.S0.
Red Cross officials here today re-
ported to Governor Eugene Tai
madge that the death toll from
q tornado which swept the bust
ness district of Gainesville, north
Georgia milling town, is expected
to reach 500.
Red Cross officials asked the
governor to send troops to Gaines
vile Immediately to take charge
of the situation.
Four blocks in the main bust
ness district of the town were
RACED by the tornado, according
to I. A. Berry, an oil man, who
drove from Gainesville to Buford
and telephoned Atlanta. He said:
Fire was sweeping the town
when / left. Workers, trapped in
the wrecked and flaming bust
ness buildings were screaming
for help, but Their. was no help
for them.
.'It was a scene Of utter hOr-
rOr. They need all the doctors
and nurses the can get"
The tornado struck shortly
after 8 O'Clock this morning on
the outskirts of the town and then
swept through the main business
district.
The storm struck Just after the
office workers had reported Tor
duty, and scores, possibly hun
dreds are believed to have been
trapped in the demolished build
ingS. .
Fire broke out in the wrecked
buildings almost Immediately. and
rescue efforts were futile because
of the intense heat. A torrential
rain accompanied the tornado.
Doctors and nurses rushed to
Gainesville from Atlanta and
other nearby towns.

as soon as the first fragmentary
reports Of the storm were received.
Other trucks were en- route from
Buford.
Fire Sweeps Ruins
Among the buildings entirely
demolished was the Hall county
court house, according to reports
received at Buford.
The city hall and the post Of
flee also were badly damaged.
It was impossible to obtain a
comprehensive story of the trag-
edy, even from those who had
struggled into Buford from Gaines
vile.
All who have arrived at Buford,
however, agree that virtually the
entire business district Of the city
is in ruins and that fire is sweep
ing the wrecked buildings in
which many persons are believed
to have been trapped.
