FASHIONS
fBy Hazel Griggs for AMP

Short skirts and wider has been
the important fashion trend 70
watch for some time now, and "ien
skirts gored, shaped like an UNI
brella or cut ciruclar and fu4iy
aaventeen inches from the floor,
hosiery has been given a new lease
on fashion, for now it is fully one
third of the costume. Because OF
this, perhaps it will be well to
know what the hose mart predic-
tons are for spring and summer.
Here are the highlights:
First, hosiery colors are design
ed to blend with rather than con-
trass with the costume, and some
in three categories-the rose or
pink tones, the yellow or golden
shades and the neutral beige tones.
Of these three categories, parti-
cular stress is laid on the rosy
shades with a sustained depth OF
color, not only because they I
designed to be worn with the
great range of fuchsias, cycia-
mems, violets and purplish blues
that are so much a part OF spring
and summer fashions, but because
they are ~flattering in themselves.
Second, a new note is to match
your hose to your accessories, and
the tie-up between stockings and
shoes has won higher favor. There
fore, among the rose colors and
rink tones. we find shades design
ed to harmonic with such shoe
colors as cherry or japonica and
among the yellow tones shades to
blend, brown and caramel leath-
ers.
Third, we find o emphasis
than ever on sheer weayes. The
soncensus of opinion everywhere
seems to be that the two-thread
stocking is destined to be most
popular simply because the flat
tering stocking is the important
stocking when skirts are short.
Fourth, more attention is given
to fit, especially to lengths. Short
skirts definitely require a great
er demand for well-proportioned
stockings in the right lengths.
Also, it is important to insist up
on action backs, stretch ops and
all the other comfort features
which are designed to make stock
ings fit.
Fifth, toe and heel interest. Not
short skirts but the open toes and
heels of the newest shoes are re-
~sponsible for mesh toes and the
rib-bow, a mesh woven with a
stripe effect for extra strength as
well as pattern interest at the back

MEXICO LIFTS COLOR LINE
RESTRICTIONS FOR TOURISTS

New York, March 31-American
Negro citizens may now travel
freely in Mexico without being
subjected to discriminatory pra-
ctices Of customs officials at the
border of the country.
Reliability of this information
was vouchsafed by Joe s. Quinonss
Mexican Consul stationed aA st.
Louis, Missouri. The Consul's
statement was contained in a let
ter to the st. Louis branch of the
Association in response to inquir-
les. The statement in full reads:
81 take pleasure in advising
you that there exists in Mexi-
CO now, no distinction or dis
elimination with regard to Me-
gro Americans visiting MeNi-
co for pleasure purposes. and
consequently, they are not re-
quired to deposit any sum of
money to be admitted into
Mexico.
at is necessary however, for
each person fifteen years Of
age, or older to obtain a tourist
card at the Mexican Consulate
nearest his place Of residence.
The cards are issued at a cost
of 81 each, Mexican currency,
and allow the persons to whom
they were issued TO remain in
Mexico up to six months. Ac-
cording to the regulations, it is
necessary for all American eli
tizens to prove that the sole
purpose Of the trip TO Mexico
is pleasure, and hat they have
$50, U. S. Currency, for each
month to be spent in Mexico"
The National Association for
the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie has sought, for a long time,
10 break up the practice of dis
elimination INDUCED in by border
officials to prohibit Negroes from

Might Owr
Monkey Family
Reaches Zoo

A whole family of owl monkeys
the only known nocturnal species,
arrived at the Zoo today, father
mother and three children.
They huddled into a little ball of
fur, from which five tails dangled
and blinked big, sleepy eyes at cam
eramen and the keepers providing
food after their journey from New
York.
The owl monkey is gentle and
friendly, but timid and hard to keep
in captivity. He is seldom seen in
ZOOS. In his native South American
jungles he forages at night and
sleeps during the day.
In the same shipment were three
saki monkeys, another rare inhab-
liant of South America. The only
others believed in the United States
are owned by Col. Theodore Roose-
welt, who keeps them at his Oyster
Bay estate.
The sakis have long hair and
names and long. bushy tails. They
also are delicate and don't seem to
live long in captivity.
The monkeys are from the collec-
ton of New York woman who had
been observing them and taking
notes on their behavior. She died
some time ago and her estate dis
posed of them.

Parking LOT Owner
Loses in Attempt
To Retain Lease
Company Offering
To Pay Higher Price
Now Entitled to 1t

Samuel Lovenbein, 1888 Thir-
teenth street NV, operator Of a
parking lot on the Municipal Center
site at John Marshall place and
Constitution avenue NV, today lost
his attempt in District Court to
retain lease on the property.
Justice T. Alan Goldsborough de-
MED his request for temporary in
junction, which would have pre-
vented the District government
from proceeding with a suit in Mu-
nicipal Court to oust Mr.. Lovenbein
on the grounds that he failed as
high bidder for the parking lot
lease recently. However the jurlst
gave Mr.. Lovenbein's attorney five
days in which to file a new COM
plant in the case
Principal Assistant Corporation
Counsel Vernon E. West, who lep-
resented the District, said the Grand
Plaza Parking Areas, Inc, which of
fered a bid of $3.50 per month
rental for use Of the property, is
now entitled to its occupancy.
Jacob N. Halper and S. Harrison
Kahn, counsel for Mr.. Lovenbein,
indicated they might appeal to the
United States Circuit Court of APP
peals. 1t was uncertain today
whether the District, through its
rental agent, the H. L. Rust Co.,
would press its Municipal Court suit
Immediately Or wait until the five
day period has elapsed.
The District Commissioners. in an
unusual order issued last week, had
advised motorists patronizing the
parking area to refuse to pay for
the privilege of parking, because Mr..
Lovenbeins lease had expired. The
majority of motorists, however, ap-
parently continued to pay the park
ing fee.
In their court complaint, counsel
for Mr.. Lovenbein contended their
client has paid more than a fair
rental and that the Commissioners
were without legal right to let out
the property by competitive bidding
But Justice Goldsborough held the
Commissioners could rent the prop
erty by competitive bids and he also
found that Mr.. Lovenbein was in
arrears in his rental payments.
