Style Chats

Paris (Up)-Lunching at Max inns on the Rue Royale, fashion and social center of Paris, is like having ringside seat at a style parade. The leading attraction is the promi- hence of white.
 One days observations:
 At the first table of the dining room sat the Countesse de la Nous save, stunning in white coat, the long sleeves of which were trimmed with silver fox. Her white straw toque was draped with three swirls of sheer wool, colored red, turquoise and black. Opposite the Countess was a smart brunette wearing a white dress, absolutely plain but for the deep red spools strung on a black cord which encircled the waist and tied on one side. From the bow hung five more red SpoolS.
 Six bright blue wings shooting straight up from the crown trimmed the Viscountess of Maublanc's navy blue straw, which she wore with matching navy blue dress. Bright blue pique ruching fashioned the neck and extended all the way down the front of her frock.
 Worn with a white derby straw hat and white kid shoes and gloves was still another white dress on which was embroidered a richly colored butterfly. The tips of the wings touched the yoke on top and the hips at the bottom.
 Fine pleats from bust to hem trimmed the front and back of a purple redingote fastened at the waist with a gold clip shaped like a huge leaf. Diagonal rows of nar- row white lace covered the whole

ISING A FAMILY (NO. 6
By Olive Roberts Barton

by OuVC RODeTtS BdrtOH
 Now I come Go a problem that is really none of my business, so I'm getting on spot" But cannot write truthfully without mention ing it here. It concerns divorce.
 There is too much divorce. Un- doubtedly so.
 Where only a man and woman are concerned, that is their affair. But when there are children, what about them?
 Sometimes men die for their coun- try, or are maiined for life, which is worse. They sacrifice themselves for cause. Now we have a cause in this matter of divorce, as it con- cernS children.
 The whole world is shouting for happiness for everybody, but the world cannot be run that way, and there are times when parents have to be more than soldiers when it concerns their families.

LOAF OF BREAD LEADS
TO FINDING DEAD MAN

A loaf of bread that remained from
the day before on the porch of house
at Hartford road and Hiss avenue, Bal
timore County, last week led Arthur
Grinath, the driver of bakery truck,
to the discovery of dead man inside
the house. Grinath became curious
when he noticed that the bread which
he had delivered the day before had
not been taken in and entered the
house to investigate. Lying on the
floor, he found the body of George
B. Clautice, 7S, sole resident of the
house.
The Fullerton police were notified
and DR.. A. M. Bacon of Parkville, was
summoned. DR.. Bacon said that the
man had died from heart trouble and
that he had been dead about fifteen
hours. Raymond Gilland, Parkville,
coroner, agreed with DR.. Bacon's dag
nosis. The body was removed to an
undertaker's establishment. Clautice
is survived by one daughter, Mrs.
Bertha Gonce, of Putty Hill avenue.

HE'S IN TO THE WIND-UP

Passing through Easton on Thurs
day of last week State Comptroller
VIM. S. Gordy, Jr., was asked as to the
rumor that he would retire from the
Gubernatorial race. He said 81 don't

YOU to that effect?" he was asked.
"You surely can. l was very deliber-

night, a time when more than one
half of the pedestrians were struck in
accidents, was termed by ID. M. Bald
win, safety engineer, as dangerous
and foolhardy as using lighted
match to see how much gasoline is
in tank. A man walking takes but
two steps, while car travelling 40
miles an hour travels almost 60 feet.
Baldwin said a pedestrian should
make an effort to get out of the way
of approaching cars by stepping off
the road.
Governor Price has announced that
in the interest of safety it would be
his policy not to pardon motorists
convicted of driving while drunk. Ap-
peals to courts of record are permit
ted from courts of original jurisdic-
ton, he pointed out, adding that he

VIRGINIA WILL INCREASE
ITS POTATO ACREAGE

A l per cent increase over 1887 in
the acreage of Virginia crops was in
dicated early last week by Henry M.
Taylor, Federal-State agricultural
statistician.
"The acreage actually planted may
turn out to be larger or smaller than
the intended acreage, as a result of
changes in conditions between March
l and the actual time of planting" j"
Taylor pointed out, however. "Weath-
er conditions, price changes, labor
supply and the agricultural adjust
ment programs may cause farmers to
change their early spring plans"
The reports from representative
group of Virginia farmers indicated
about 48,200 acres planted in early
commercial potatoes, a decrease of 13
per cent in early potatoes.
Sweet potatoes, about per cent less
than last year in commercial sweet
potato acreage, with farm acreage re-
duced slightly more.
Favorable weather conditions prior
to March l, Taylor said, enabled farm
ers to advance their preparations for
spring planting further than usual.

BIG ROAD PROGRAMME
FOR STATE OF DELAWARE

A $1,5OO,OO0 highway construction
program for Delaware starting July
l was saved recently when the admin
istration at Washington abandoned
hopes of getting Congress to cancel
highway subsidy ALLEGATIONS.
Secretary Wallace sent letters to
the governors of all the states seeking
them to submit projects for approval
so they might obtain their share of
the 100000, 900 fund.
w. w. Mack, chief engineer of the
State Highway Department, explain
ed that Delaware is slated to receive
$75OOOO of the subsidy money, which
must be matched by the State.
The projects will be submitted, he
said, and it is expected the State
will receive it's full share. However,
he warned, it is possible diversion of
highway funds for other than high
way use could be interpreted as dis
qualifying the State for some of the
money.

Mr.. Mack commented, expressing
pleasure at the administration decis-
ion.

that John Adams, our second Presi-
dent, once fought as a U. S. Marine.
President Adams was man of let
ters, more given to diplomatic or leg
iSlative affairs than to armed conflict.
His keen mind and political insight
led to his appointment to many i'm
portant missions during our struggle
for independence.
Fate led to his taking up arms
when he was aboard the Boston, bound
for France on diplomatic mission in
1778, for Captain Tucker of the Bos-
ton could not resist the temptation to
give battle when he encountered the
heavily-armed British ship Martha.
When the ships neared each other
the British vessel fired broadside
while the marines on the Boston re-
taliated with rifle fire. A shattered
yardarm knocked Captain Tucker to
the deck. and as the smoke from the
British guns rolled away, he was amaz

his musket at the enemy.

CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE
BILL PASSES CONGRESS

The house last week passed the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge bill which has
been sponsored by Senators Tydings
and Radcliffe.
This bill authorizes the State Roads
Commission to construct a bridge a
cross the bay from a point near Balti-
more or Anne Arundel county to the
Eastern Shore provided approval is
given by the War Department.
The bill is worded so as to cover
both of the locations at COLCHESTER

The bill is in line with the present
Federal policy of constructing roads
and bridges to be paid for with tolls.
This authorization does not build
the bridge as it will have to go thru

mittees, which was in session for two
days.
Mr.. Hatch's period of service with
Chevrolet's sales department spans the
years of the company's greatest ex-
pansion and success. His knowledge
of retail selling and his ability as an
analyst earned him the assignment of
working out many basic plans and
programs, which are in use in most of
the company's direct dealerships to-
day.
A native of Burlington, VT, Mr..
Hatch has been in the automobile
business almost continuously since

salesman. He was a first lieutenant
in the 41st Infantry during the World
War, and shortly after it's close join
ed the Chevrolet organization as a
field representative on the Pacific
Coast. In 1925, he was named assis-
tant manager of the Portland, Ore,
zone, and on Aug. of the same year

The ALLEGATION included $125,OOO,O00
for principal highways, $25,0OO,000
for secondary roads, and $50,000,000
for grade crossing elimination.
The letter apparently marked the
end of bitter fight between the
President and Congress. He warned
the Legislators on November 27 that
the time had come to trim sharply

FOR CITIZENSHIP
Court of Appeals Makes
Important Ruling

American citizenship of child
born in the United States is NOT
lost if the parents become citizens
of another nation, the United
States Court of Appeals ruled to-
day, provided the child is an adult
when the parents change their
nationality.
In an opinion of far-reaching
importance, the court affirmed
previous ruling of Justice Jen-
nings Bailey, of the U. S. District
Court, in the suit of Miss Marie
Elizabeth Elg, 80, Of Mt. Kisco,
N. Y, for an Injunction to re-
strain the Labor Department
from deporting her and for a
declaratory Judgment that she is
a natural-born American citizen.
PARENTS RETURNED
The unusual circumstances re-
suited from the fact that the par
ents Of Miss Elg were naturalized
citizens when she was born in
1907. When the child was four
years old the parents returned to
Sweden, the country of their ma
tivity, and after % years sojourn
there, U. S. officials cancelled
their American citizenship and
they again became Swedish SUB
jects.
Miss Elg returned to New York
in 1922 under an American paSs-
port and when she started an in
quiry in 1884 to ascertain her
status, the Labor Department held
that she was a Swedish subject
and refused to grant her a pass
port as an American citizen.
END OF FIVE-YEARS FIGHT
"It is an established rule that
every person born within the
United States {. is an American
Citizen" the higher court said
today, parenthetically excluding
those whose parents are here
on diplomatic missions. The
rule applies regardless of whether
the parents are citizens"
Attorney Henry F. Butler repre-
Sented Miss Elg in her five-year
fight for citizenship.
