NOV that the season has come
to exchange lovers knots for
marital ties, the fancy of brides-to-
be turns happily to glamorous
picture of billowy tulle and lovely
flowers and wedding array for her
self and her attendants that shall be
fashioned of fabrics which needs
must tune to the romance and beau
ty of the occasion.
A highly important style mes
sage for brides-prospective is the
wide use being made this season of
airy-fairy diaphanous silk sheers
for the making of the wedding gown
as well as for the bridesmaid frocks
and the dresses of the little flower
girls. There is an ethereal elusive
beauty about the wedding scene that
is carried out in terms of these love-
ly silk transparencies such as silk
marquisette, filmy-as-cobweb nets,
tulles and chiffons and silk organzas
and mousseline de soies that blend
ideally into the setting of a perfect
day in June or in later summertime.
The bride in the illustration
makes an enhancing picture in her
gown of lovely summary silk mar
quisette. Its youthful princess lines,
it's enhancement of decorative lace
appliques and its heart-shaped de-
colletage are in the quantity beauti-
full "Gone With the Wind" tradi-
ton. The train is a spectacular
part of the dress that reveals
through a full length silk filmy net
veil with lace coronet to match the
gown. The bride carries a seed
pearl prayer book.
Silk sheers are also favored for
attendant frocks as they are smart
for many summer evenings as well
as the wedding itself.
Even the little flowergirls dress,
also of silk sheer, is selected so
that it can be worn later on for
birthday or dancing school parties.

TWO-PURPOSE GOWN
FINDS MUCH FAVOR
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

The tendency these days is to
have foundation dress with end
less accessory ensembles in reserve
so as to change the character of the
costume to tune to occasion. The
newest entrant into the interchange
able costume realm is the dress of
black or navy crepe which is sold
with full length detachable front
panel of pleated crepe in white or
some contrasting color. For the
practical hours of the day the dress
is worn without the panel and you
can run about town looking trim and
tailored. Or in the office you will
appear meat as a pin" dressed APP
propriately for business hours.
To keep the bridge date or accept
an informal dinner engagement, you
can don the white or colorful pleat-
ed panel in a jiffy. It fastens UP
over the shoulders and there are
ribbon straps and bows to adjust
to make it look like an integral part
of the dress, for it extends from
neck to hem.

presents a new line for children's
frocks that is both charming and
youthful. This forms a ruff1e that
is tied in at the high waistline with
a mauve velvet ribbon matching
the ribbon on the pulled sleeves.
Traditional white satin is seen

Lewis Backs Barley

JOHN L. LEWIS, c. I. o. chieftain,
- has asked labor to support Sen.
Alben w. Barley of Kentucky in
the primaries August 6. In his ca
pacity as chairman of Labor's Nom
partisan league, Lewis said of Bark
ley:
'.He is recognized as one of the
nations leading statesmen, liberal
in his viewpoint and cooperative in
his attitude toward legislation in the
interests of labor and the common
people,"
Harry Hopkins, WPA administra-
tor, found occasion to say good
word in favor of Rep. Otha Wearin
of Iowa, who is seeking to take the
Democratic senatorial nomination
away from Senator Gillette.
For this Hopkins was denounced
by senators who were demanding
that the relief appropriations be ear
marked so they cannot be used for
political purposes.

Wage Bill in Conference

T ONG battle over the wage-hour
~ bill passed by the house was
averted when the measure was sent
to conference by the senate with
the southern opposition given rep
resentation among the conferees.
This compromise also probably
headed off a threatened filibuster
and led to belief that final action
on the bill would be taken in time to
permit the adjournment of congress
on the date set.
The chief fight in the conference
was to center on the demand of
the South for wage differentials as
provided for in the bill which the
senate passed. These were rejected
by the house.
The measure establishes rigid
wage-hour standards for certain
classes of workers in all industries
operating in interstate commerce,
regardless of prevailing sectional
scales. It fixes an initial wage of
Is cents an hour which steps up to
40 cents an hour in three years, and
a 44-hour week graduating to 40 in
two years.
A coalition Of farm state repre-
sentatives and the southern Demo-
Gratis put over drastic amendment
offered by Mrs. Norton, exempting
thousands of employees engaged in
the processing of agricultural COM
modities from the provisions of the
measure.

These charges, together with a
general denial Of Arthur Morgan's
accusations against themselves,
constituted in the main their defense
statements.
Referring to the trial last winter
of the suit of 18 private utility
concerns against the iva, Lilien-
thai said: ''It is a record which
suggests that he was seeking to find
a way to obtain a judicial decision
against his own agency. It is a
record of tampering with prospec-
tive witnesses for the government
and of obstructing and harassing
counsel and witnesses in the very
heat of the trial of crucial con-
stitutional case"
Former Chairman Morgan told
his side of the long, bitter controver-
sy ON the first day of the inquiry,
/ charging his. fellow directors with
dishonest management. He ex-
planned he did not mean David Lii

Roosevelt, "to those unwise parts of

store in the future certain forms of
tax avoidance, and of concentrated
investment power, which we had be-
gun to end, and the other definite
abandonment of principle of tax
policy long ago accepted as part of
our American system"
The President declared that he
had no objection to removing any
obstacles to little business which
might be contained in the revenue
laws but he reiterated the admins
tration's determination not to allow
the use of corporate forms to avoid
what it considers legitimate tax bur-
dens.
Mr.. Roosevelt made plain that he
hoped for future revision of the
revenue laws in line with the objec-
tives he seeks. Such revisions, he
said, should be designed to encour-
age new investment and the entry
of private capital into new fields.
Immediately after the address,

Vogue for Pleats Feature
of the Current Fashion

The vogue of pleats, which is a
feature of the current fashion trend,
is not confined to skirts. A frock
which has its own matching bolero
has a pleated section below a plain
square yoke. A skirt-waist dress
with an all-around pleated skirt also
has a pleated blouse, the sleeves
being the only part of the frock to
be left severely plain.
The pleated fashion in millinery
is reflected by pleated sashes which
adorn many of the new broad
brimmed straw models and also the
fabric hats which have wide pleated
brims.

American Pilots Accused

Luis Potosi state against the Mex
lean government of President Car

them to bomb several towns which
were occupied by federal troops en-
gagged in suppressing the revolt. The
Mexican war minister, Manuel
Avila Camacho, asserted the planes
were piloted by Americans, but did
not disclose the source of his infor-
nation.
The government also declared
Japan was aiding the Cedillistas.
Three hundred Japanese rifles and
a large quantity of Japanese ammu-
milton were seized at Cerritosa.
Reports from Tampico, important
