Hy MARJORIE ELLIS McCRADY
Fashions Editor Of

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL

Minneapolis, Feb. 1.-THE coronation
May II in England will be the big
fashion event of the season so it is only
natural to wonder about the corona
ton trends that will influence practi-
cally all apparel and accessory fashions
Strangely enough the Duke of Kent
considered England's best dressed man
and certainly person more interested
in clothes than the King will influ-
ence our spring wardrobe. Feminine
versions of his beautifully tailored suits
will be the tops for us. Likewise, do
designers look to the Duke for inspira-
ton for tailored shirtwaists, ascot scarfs
and one button gloves.
Coronation colors will be high fash
ion, including scarlet, royal purple, gold
forest green and English lavender.
Regimental stripes reminding one of
flags, the English coat of arms, etc.,
will be in favor. Printed fabrics will
show coronation motifs in crowns,
thistles, English roses and so forth.
A fashion word you will hear often is
Dirndl pronounced deerndiD It IS a
German word and refers to the very
full over aprons of peasant costumes.
We use it in today's fashion vocabulary
to denote the peasant styles of very full
skirts shirred at the waistline and worn
with tight or shirred blouses. The
fashion is simple and different. It
makes the waistline look small and the

wearer young and almost childlike.
The high necklines are decidedly
coming down. This means you can
take that lovely old cavalier or chain
and locket out of its hiding place and
wear it to your greater beauty and
fashionable rightness. It also means
that clips and brooches will be better
than ever.
B-ouses and separate skirts will be
important for spring wear. You can
wear them now under your winter
coat, little later with your spring
coat and when it is summer, without
any coat. The skirts are pastel colored
flannelS or smooth wooden fabrics
Some of them cling to the straight
Silhouette while even more of them fiji
snugly over the hips and flare at the
hemline. Gored skirts will be very
fashionable. You will see a goodly
number of belts just like father wears
worn with these skirts BIouses for this
type of costume are naturally tailored
White is the favorite for the blouse
A very smart costume seen last week
consisted of powder blue flannel
flared skirt worn with tailored blouse
OF silk in blue to match the skirt
The mannish belt was of natural pig
skin leather. The off-the-face felt hat
was beige and could be worn with al
most any costume.

Auto Victim is
Married in Bed.

Luverne- few trivial things, such
as knocked-out teeth, a fractured jaw,
cracked ribs, broken nose and badly
fractured leg, as well as numerous cuts
and bruises, can't keep man from
getting married. At least not a man
like Leslie Nelson, Slayton funeral di-
rector, who was seriously injured New
Years eve in head-on collision and
has since that time been confined to
the Slayton hospital. Original plans
which Nelson and his finance, Miss
Mildred Brue, also Of Slayton, had made
for their marriage were altered but
nevertheless, there was wedding. II
stead of a home wedding, the ceremony
took place at the bridegroom's bedside.
And the wedding trip took the couple
to Rochester where Nelson was to sub
NIT to surgery.

of Oslo and Kink Haakon what is pro-
duced in America and talked learnedly
about registration, type, production, and
feeding of prize-winning cattle The
heifer, coming week after the mayor
left for Norway, was 20 inches high, 26
inches long and weighed % pounds at
birth. She has the freedom of the barn

MinnetOnka Theatres
Aid Flood Sufferers

Wayzata-To assist in collecting
money for flood rescue work, Lyle Car
isch and Ray Lee, owners of the Way
zata, Mound and Lake theatres, have
originated a plan which, if adopted by
theatre owners throughout the state,
would swell the Red Cross relief fund
considerably. Their plan is an easy
one to raise contributions from theatre
patrons who wish to contribute. 1t does
not arbitrarily raise admission prices,
but asks that each person pay an extra
nickel for each performance attended.
In turn, the theatres will match this
nickel, making a total donation of ten
cents for each patron who donates a
nickel. The money is turned over to
Red Gross chapters in each town for use
in the stricken areas for the purchase
of food, clothing and medical supplies

Nortfield-Most fascinating is the
question whether the mid-winter nlIdiSt
who made his appearance here, wore
shoes to protect his feet from the cold
hard foot pedals of his car and whether
his car had a heater. Persons who
witnessed the incident, were amazed
and frightened to see a man step from
car, which had pulled up at a curb,
and stand on the running board ar
rayed in nothing but perhaps heavy
coat of gooseflesh. To enhance the eff
feet this startling individual bathed
himself in the rays of a flashlight
which he held as spotlight above his
head.

and buildings. Sensing danger, the
dog ran to Mrs. Crawford'S bedroom
door and barked until the farm man.
ayers wife was aroused and found the
building back of the house in flames,
believed to have started from a short
circuit. Two autos, expensive farm ma
chinery, including a gravel loader, a
double garage and machine shed were
destroyed. The dog, just an ordinary
rowing canine, came to the Westwood
Farms last spring.

Tuning In on The Minnesota
LEGISLATURE
By SENATOR VIM WEBER

Farmers of Minnesota who are en-
dangered by mortgage foreclosure will
be pleased to learn that their interests
will again be considered. The Senate
on Thursday, in committee OF the
whole, unanimously recommended to
pass Mortgage Moratorium extension
bill. The bill as recommended in the
Senate is identical with that passed
two years ago, except that it clarifies
certain provisions. Under the old law
there was no provision for any official
determining whether default existed.
The amendment, which was approved,
places the matter in the hands of the
court.
School Boards who have not cared to
let the taxpaying public know the fl
ancial condition of their schools will
hereafter be compelled to give the tax
payers this necessary information If
bill passed in the House Wednesday
meets with similar action in the Senate.
Heretofore it has not been required by
law to publish financial statements of
independent school districts, and as a
result the taxpayer has had no way
in which to inform himself of the fl
ancial status of the district, without
making a trip to the Clerks office to
examine the records. Publication of
financial statements of any public body
is a duty The taxpayer should, as a
matter Of decency, be provided with
full knowledge of where his tax dollar
goes. To fail to publish annual &C
countings could well be looked Upon
with suspicion and SO such law should
not be necessary. But since there are
those officials who deny the taxpayer
this right, a statute is the only remedy.
Fair Trade practice acts are now re-
ceiving the attention of committees in
both branches. Proponents say the
bills, if enacted into law, will do away
with the "chiselers" and protect the
public against poor quality merchandise.
Whether or not the bills affect free
competition, is a matter of conjecture,
but proponents assert that it will not
do so. Further hearings are to be held
when full facts come out and your cor
respondent can give full details.
Forty-four hours a week will be as
much time as any female of the species
can work if the So-called A Hour bill
passes. Labor leaders are pressing for
passage, but rural members seem to be
fairly well aligned against it. There
is no question in this writer's mind but
that passage of such bill would seri-
ously affect cur smaller towns and the
surprising part of it is that women in
rural Minnesota, if letters and tele-
grams to legislators is any criterion,
are strenuously opposed to its passage.
Just another case of the city against
the small town.
The administration lobby bill, which
has passed the House, is just now being
heard in the committee on general
legislation in the Senate. 1t is just
another of those political measures
which seeks to do the impossible If a
lobby bill were to be passed, it should
include everybody. Big industries re-
representatives. who appear before the
committees are known to every legis-
lator. They invariably introduce them
selves to the committees before which
they appear, but it is the state en-
ployee, the hotel "buttonholer," and
the organization worker that are the
