OF TYD|NGS' FOE
Green Letter Urges Labor
and Friends to Back
David J. Lewis.
UNION HEAD EXPLAINS
HIS UNUSUAL ACTION
Candidates Supported on Basis Of
Their Record Regardless of
Affiliations, He Says.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, July 19.-Labors two
great warning factions, the American
Federation of Labor and the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization, found
a common ground today in supporting
Representative David j. Lewis in his
campaign for the Democratic nominal
ton for Senator from Maryland.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor. an
nounced in Washington yesterday his
Endorsement of the Western Mary
land New Dealer seeking to unseat
the States senior Senator Mlllard E.
Tydings.
The A. F. of L. Endorsement Of Mr..
Lewis came only a few DAYS after
the c. l. o., headed by John L.
Lewis, had announced in favor Of
Senator Tydings opponent through its
Labor's Non-Partisan League.
Speaks for ITSELF
Representative Lewis received the
A. F. of L. Endorsement with this
comment
The statement speaks for itself.
Green, like myself. is an old coal
miner. He, like myself, has the same
purposes"
Explaining the A. F. of LIS action
in approving a candidate previously
indorsed by the C. I. O., Mr.. Green
said
1T is the policy of the American
Federation of Labor to support can
didates for Office, regardless of polit-
ical affliation, who are known to be
friendly and sympathetic toward labor
and labor's legislative program.
I'VE seek to elect those candidates
for nomination and election as men,
bers of Congress who are known by
their public utterances and public
action to be friends of labor"
Good Labor Record.
He said Mr.. Lewis record on labor
legislation in the House showed he
was "one hundred per cent favorable
to labor"
For that reason, I deem it my
official duty to call upon labor and
all its friends in Maryland to support
Representative David j. Lewis in his
campaign for nomination and election
to the United States Senate" Mr..
Green added.
The A. F. of L. Endorsement was
made known in a letter from Mr..
Green to Joseph P. McCurdy. presi-
dent of the Maryland-District of
Columbia Federation of Labor.
Mr.. McCurdy withheld comment
pending receipt of Mr. Green's CON-
munlcation and its perusal by the
Federation's Board, but the Lewis
camp was quick to express its delight,
Lewis Camp Pleased.
Asserting he was very much
pleased with Mr.. Green's whole
hearted Endorsement" Kent r. Null.
likin, the Lewis campaign manager.
said:
L fnd myself in complete agree
ment with Senator Tydings, who on
Saturday at Crisfeld said:
m no enemy Of organized labor.
1 think labor ought to have the right
to collective bargaining and to strike
If working conditions do not suit 1t.
and for that reason 1 like the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, level
headed and sane organization.
1T looks as though Senator Tydings
has Endorsed the American Federation
OF Labor, but, unfortunately, because
OF his record the American Federation
OF Labor has not Endorsed him, but
has given its Endorsement to Repre-
sentative David j. Lewis"

at the hips and haring slightly to
form the skirt. The satin was softly
gathered into the wool OF the skirt
at the high waistline, and the only
trimming on the dress were two seams
which ran straight down either side
of the front of the skirt from waist
to hem. This frock was made with
the most unusual jacket-fastened
high at the neckline with beauti-
full platinum and pearl pin, and minus
any collar at all-it hung straight
just to Sonora de Fuentes' waist.
The shoulders were very broad and
absolutely squared at either side.
The three-quarter-length sleeves were
slightly belled at the cuff. The whole
jacket was very effectively trimmed
with bands of Persian lamb running
horizontally around both the jacket
and the sleeves-giving a striped ef-

black hair in a medium page-boy
bob-most becoming with the high
black felt shake. Her suede handbag

ornamented with jeweled buckles and
clips. Brocades, too, are ornate and
lavish, and Enthusiastically decolette
and flowing-are the proper things
for dining at home.
Outstanding, this season, are the
sleeve and neckline treatments.
Sleeves are often short or elbow length
and shirred at the shoulder to give
full effect. There are wrist length
sleeves, too, with the leg o'mutton
type popular. Collarless styles are
really smart, and draped necklines
are seen in many of the newest robes
done beautifully and flattering to any
woman. In addition, the use of trim
ming is prevalent this year and there
is scarcely a model that is not beauti-
fully adorned with trimming of one
type or another. Favorites are sequins
used chiefly on sleeves, ostrich feathers
sometimes done in the form Of an en-
tire bodice, and jeweled buckles on
the belts.
In the more practical styles, quilted
robes and those made of knitted
fabric are smart and useful The
quilted robe is always q favorite for
its warmth and appearance and the
knitted types are comfortable and
fail to resemble woven garment at
all-except on the reverse side. These
come in all the popular fall shades
and really are must" in your robe
collection.
But the real hits of this season
of femininity are the lavish styles
the highly oramented, softly draped
models that carry out the motif Of
all our clothes. After all, this is a
season to be romantic and oh-so-well-
groomed, and the robes and hostess
gown are quite in keeping with the
trend of fashion. Such famous de-
signers as Schiaparelli and Lanvin
are furthering the trend to Ornamental
tion by introducing models like those
recently pictured in leading fashion
magazine. Schaparelli's hostess pa
jana design featured a gaudily en-
broidered tweed jacket over striped
velvet trousers, and Lanvin contributed
a loose lame jacket over very SLIM
legged pajamas-both with the ornate
touch.
"hnrn is no aouoJ that in the past
-" years hostess gowns, tea gowns,
and housecoats have become an integral
part of every smart woman's wardrobe.
For dinners at home, for tea-time,
or even for informal dining out, the
smartly groomed lady will have an
outfit Of this description. She will
be the charming hostess-and the
really well dressed woman.

which was worn long on this particular
occasion. The strapless bodice had
two bands of shirring up the front,
and the top, which dropped to form
a low backline, was edged with she'll
pink camellias. The wide black velvet
skirt was held out by hoop placed
rather low, falling into q slight train
in back. The front of the skirt was
draped up and held in place by three
of the camillias; underneath 1t an
accordion pleated fiounce Of she'll
pink taffeta rustled most effectively.
On her right hand Miss Townsend
wore an enormous old-fashioned,
black onyx ring, adding just the
right touch to this 18th century frock.
Sophistication itself was personified
in Miss Townsend's short fur jacket.
Made of blue fox which gained SO
much prominence in the Paris collec-
tions, it had the new three-quarter

ing the little finger has a definite
thickness. Yet all gloves come to a
hard edge there as if the palm were
perfectly fiat. have put walls into
my gloves which allow the hand and
fingers full freedom. You don't have to
ease into my gloves. You Just slip
them right on"
Thus she explains the object Of her
design. BY applying the functional
principles of modern architecture
and engineering to glove design she
has achieved basic change that is
revolutionary. The glove Is said to
slip on and of with amazing ease, 1t
eliminates punching at the tips and
binding at the thumb. It eliminates
strain at all points and is supposed
to be a safeguard against seam BURST
ing. The beauty of this idea-in addi-
ton to its practicability-is the fact
that the construction makes possible a
new styling that is really attractive.
Details Of workmanship and color
combinations give an outstanding en-
phasis to the basic form Of the glove.
These details are in no sense trim
ming but rather an integral part Of the
gloves function and pattern.
This new idea is also designed for
men, and is finding just as much sue
cess with them as it is with women.
One style features a completely seam
less palm, giving it the look and feel
of q custom made glove. So far 1t has
been brought out as a sports glove only.
largely in hand-sewn varieties, al.
though there are a few machine
stitched styles for men. In both there
are wonderful new opportunities for
color combinations in a continuous
fourchette wall which prolongs q color
from one end Of the glove to the other
and all around the thumb and fingers.
There is knuckle freedom in Merry
Hulls gloves. but above all, there Is
complete thumb and finger freedom
and even room for long finger nails
in the women's gloves.
The whole fashion world is talking
about this latest improvement In the
industry, for there is no doubt that
1t offers a new convenience new
logic that has taken a great deal Of
time to develop and yet, funda-
mentally, it Is an idea that seems al
most apparent. In all the history Of
glovemaking, this is said to be the
most revolutionary change yet to be
made. 1t seems not unlikely that this
idea may affect the entire industry,
and eventually this method may revo-
lutionize all gloves. After all, 1t stands
to reason that the anatomy Of the
hand must be considered in creating

haphazardly. Today, in 1888, young
woman, Merry Hull-or Gladys Whit
comb-in private life-comes forth
with another great step in the develop
ment Of this industry. Her achieve
ment is the three-dimensional glove,
which offers freedom of action, excess
sive comfort and longer wear.
This young lady in her early 20s
started a career OF fashion art by
specializing in shoe drawings for
large manufacturing firm. In order
to gain perfect knowledge of the
product she went to work in shoe
factory where she really learned about
leather and shoe construction, the
basis for her fund of information on
leather.
Upon her arrival in New York from
the Middle West. Miss Hull began to
do general fashion art. and then came
the beginning of her now famous
glove design. 1t seems that at Christ
mas time she decided to make a pair
Of hand-sewn gloves for her sister.
She went to glove school on Fifth
avenue to learn how-and there she
evolved the design for this new style.
She finished pair and. needless to
say, instead Of the gloves adorning
the Christmas tree. they were placed
in the hands Of patent attorney
with the explanation that here was
something that was an entirely new
process-not . mere re-styling idea.
The patent was obtained and the revo-
lutionary movement in the glove in.
dustry was well under way.

The basic idea behind this new con-
struction is this: It Is said to be the
first time that the anatomy Of the
hand has been taken into considera-
ton in making a glove. Just as feet
we're pinched into shoes up to q gen.
Grafton ago, so hands have still been
pinched to a point at the tips of the
fingers and creased tightly across
the palm. Miss Hull's design has 9
~ turned" wall that runs from the
thumb all around the fingers anc
down the sides. In addition the tips
are made longer at the back to protect
the nails and keep them from pushing
through the glove.

tips should be pointed. She set out t.
do something about it and really sue
ceeded. "Gloves are being made wroni
in two dimensions" Miss Hull explains
length and width. No one seems tt
believe that the hand has thickness
as q dimension. The tips of the fingers
however tapered, do not come to ,
point. They are U-turned. Yet al
glove fingers end in v points. Like
wise the wall Of the palm continu
