RED HIGHLIGHTS THE AUTUMN
FASHION PICTURE

Red, a real, honest-to- goodass-
fire-engine red. is bringing up the
autumn fashion picture. Bright
and blazing, It is being featured IN
early fall coats and suits as we'll
as in dresses. and is extremely at
tractiye. Combined viii black or
worn with accessories. these bright,
dashing creations are taking top
honors in all the fashion showings.
A particularly smart number,
rating lots OF applause in one OF the
recent fashion reviews, was a slim
fitting. red wool coat made in REFER
style with slightly fared skirt. and
double rows OF buttons parading
down the front The perky berei
worn with this suit was OF black
beaver. the kind you wore TO sun
day school as little girl, and a
red quill shot out jauntily from
the underside. The bag. gloves and
shoes were Of black suede.
A suit shown. also, used the pop
ular red and black combination.
The brief. nipped-in. red wool crepe
jacket topped a black skirt OF the
same material. and the soft col
lar NJ the jackss was OF curly,
black lamb. Still another outfit, a
decidedly debutante type frock OF
deep. rich black had splash of
color In the long sleeved bolera of
bright red piped with curly black
lamb.
Red Is also being seen with grey
and. surprisingly enough, with a
new shade OF autumn green called
Robin Hood green. This is a soft
shade OF green--a sort OF bright
olive, and mixes beautifully with
piquant red touches. Green. draw
string bags lined with red taffeta
are popular for use with the Robin
Hood green dresses and suits.
Besides the bright. glowing char
coal ember red. other shades, too.
are current fashion firsts. namely
lipstick red, scarlet and the ever
lovely wine. All shades OF red dom
mate the plaid and tweed materials
and wine red accessories with
red and blue tweed mixture Ia in
high fashion favor. Fashion. def

despite the state Of world affairs

abruptly informed Premier Jamil
Mardam Bey that France had re-
jected a Syrian request for imme-
diate control of key state services.
The high commissioner demand-
ed unconditional withdrawal of the
Syrian governments request. The
cabinet, which until now had been
committed to a policy of co-opera-
ton with France, was caught be-
tween two fires. 1t had hoped to
conciliate determined Nationalist
groups by obtaining some conces-
sions from France. The French re-
fusal was regarded as having made
the Premier's position untenable.
Open Revolt Feared.
Some observers In Damascus
feared the situation might flare into
an open revolt against France.
There were disquieting reports that
unofficial German ana Italian aid
had been promised to Syrian Ma
tionalists If they took up arms.
The quarrel revolves about
Frances refusal to ratify the treaty
of September 9, 1886, changing
Syria from a inundated state to an
independent nation.
French officials were said to feel
they must hold on to the strategic
area at the eastern end of the
Mediterranean at all costs as a
base of operations in case of war.

had to face today.
"TOok Gamble" Witness Says.
The matter of the 500 bill was
gone into by Mr.. Marshall after the
court had questioned the witness as
follows:
Q. Have you ever known Mr..
Whelan to do anything dishonor-
able prior to this alleged payment
Of money to you?
A. Absolutely not.
Q. Didn't you think this rather
dishonorable?
A. Yes, I did.
Q. Were you not afraid that he
would not report you2
A. took gamble on it.
@. But as far as you know, up to
that time, he had always been a
straight shooter?
A. Yes.
@. CBy Mr.. MarshalD Mr.. Whelan
had reputation as an upright and
ethical lawyer?
A. Yes. always had the highest
regard for Mr.. Whelan and still
have.
Didn't Get S10O Bill, He Says.
Q. I believe you received this
money, the $100, in five and tens?
A. Yes.
@. You didn't get 500 bill?
A. No. Those things are few and
far between in my life.
@. You had no bill of 500 denom-
inatiOn about that time?
A. No.
@. Do you know deputy marshall
named Harry Allen?
A.. Sure, know him.
@. Do you recall a conversation
with him shortly before last Christ
mas at which you showed him a $lOO
bill?
A. No, I don't.
@. 1t did not occur?
A. Wait, remember I did have
$l00 bill. My son had had little
trouble and had borrowed $3.50 from
my wife and had paid it back this
Christmas and I was taking the
500 to the bank for my wife.

800 Families Aided
By Red Cross in
Kentucky Floods
Ohio Crest Expected
To Reach Podueoh
By Sunday
BY the Associated Press.

BY the ASSOClateu FEeSSs
PADUCAH, KY, Feb. 17.-More
than 600 flood stricken families in
Western Kentucky were under the
care of the Red Cross today.
Miss Ruth Riley, field worker,
reported more families are being
forced to move daily as the ad-
vancing crests rolling down the
Ohio, Tennessee and Cumberland
Rivers push water farther into the
lowlandS.
Paducah, expecting the crest of
the Ohio flood to reach there Sun
day at around so feet, had read
ing today of 48.1 feet at 7 am,
81 feet above flood stage, and many
low sections were under water.
Leading the list with the largest
number of refugees from the flood
was Mclean County, where John
Henry Thomas, chairman of the
local Disaster Committee, reported
$50 families forced to evacuate their
homes because of the swollen Green
River. The Green River was 10
miles wide at points, Miss Riley
said.
In Hopkins County 125 persons
were forced to higher ground along
Green River. Miss Riley said re-
ports from local workers in Hen
derson County were that 1913 fami-
lies were being cared for by the
Red Cross.
The Cumberland River, which
reached a temporary crest of 64.5
feet at KuttaWa and Eddyville, has
driven 100 families from their homes
in these neighboring towns, Miss
Riley said.

Operu Stur Offers
Career Sturt for Texun

Emma Redell, Washington con-
cert and opera singer, who was given
her start on a musical career by
the Texan who later became her
husband, offered yesterday to pre-
pare a Texas girl for an operatic
career.
Miss Redell made the offer at q
meeting of the Texas congressional
delegation in the Capitol. Her plan
is that the delegation appoint q
committee to discover the Texas
girl with the most promising sing
ing voice. Her only stipulation was
that the contest, open to girls be-
tween 16 and "a, be held in Houston,
her husbands former home.
Representative Rayburn of Texas,
House Majority leader, expressed his
appreciation to the opera star for
her offer.
