Famous Priest to Show Pictures of Northern
 Cliff DWellers

Rev. Bernard R. Hubbard, distin- guiShed Alaskan explorer, geologist and Jesuit missionary, better known as the Glacier Priest" brings his newest Alaskan motion picture Cliff Dwellers of the Far North" to the Strand theater tomorrow at o'clock in the afternoon and 8:30 o'clock in the evening under the auspices of the Notre Dame .alumnae. Tickets may be procured at the box office or from members of the Alumnae Father Hubbard found among the Eskimos romance aplenty to record in motion picture film and story, but punctures some well known tales concerning the "walrus-people". T have yet to find Alaskan Eskimos living in igloos," says the "Glasie1 Priest" 'The ice hut and the village of ice huts as pictured in some geog- raphies of our boyhood simply dc not exist among the Alaskan Eski- mos, and apparently never did"
 Nearly every village has a 'kasga or clubhouse where the Eskimos are going in for the night club idea in a big way, having heard of such things from whalers and traders. Dances are held almost nightly"
 Father LaF'ortune, a Jesuit, has lived among the King Islanders whom Father Hubbard will describe for 35 years. Father La Fortune states they are deeply religious and the proud possessors of a civilization and culture which may be rated as tops among those of primitive peo- pies anywhere"

Mountain Is Still Moving But At Much Slower Pace

Gilroy, Cal, March 13-(UP)- New pressure piled up behind the moving mountain of the Dead Hills" today and it dumped thous- ands of tons oi earth into the Pa jaro valley. Ahead of the strange earth movement was the power line carrying electrical energy into the Salinas Valley, the nations lettuce bowl" a stretch of U. s. highway l01 and a bridge across the Pajaro valley. Thomas Joyce, superinten- dent of the state highway main- tenance division, said he believed there was little danger of the slide blocking the highway or daming the river. Others were not so optimis- tic.
 Dr. Albert Newlin, SeiSmologist at Santa Clara university, said I'd hate to try and tell what might happen if new rains loosed more earth" The forecast was for rain. All who checked on the slide found it was slowing. It was travelling roughly four inches an hour late yesterday, too slow to be perceptible to the eye. Out of the rolling hills and rangeland of Lomerias MuertaS, known for ages as ''the Dead Hnls," !" it started off 8 week ago with a boom heard miles away.
 Visible from Gilroy, six miles to the north, 1t looked like a giant highway construction cut spewing out fanshape over the lowlands. As

COLLIE DOG IN
 RACE WITH TRAIN

Boston, March 13-CUP)-A col- lie dog paced Boston elevated railway subway train for four miles yesterday-and lived.
 He hopped into the tunnel beside the live "third rail" at Kendall Square, Cambridge. in front of 2 train operated by Robert O'Neil. He raced madly ahead, oblivious of the laundering train behind him. At each of the next five stations, he stopped and waited while the train picked up passengers. then resumed his race.
 At Columbia station in Dorchess ter, the dog leaped to the platform and was captured by starter Ray- mond Leeman.
 The train was nine minutes late.

it reached the flats it slowed, giv- ing rise to hope that the moun- tain would be diffused before cov- ering the quarter of mile to the power line and the half mile to the highway.
 A new threat developed, however, from fisures lingering out from the main body of the slide. At first only deep gashes in the earth, they suddenly began breaking into new movements of earth. Somewhat like streams of water they con- verged on the main slide, piling up behind 1t and giving new force to the forward movement. Whether this would be great enough to force the mountain over the remaining distance to the power |. line and highways was problematical. En- gineers estimated it had moved only eight feet in the past A hours and that at such a rate it would take a month or more to reach the high- way.

STYLE DESIGNER
 PREVUES SEASON
Navy Green Looms as
 l939's Newest, Most Popular Color

Waterbury women who are fash ion minded were afforded a special treat on Saturday afternoon when Richard Forester brought to this city well known American design CT and her technical staff.
 Thousands of women in America have wondered for years why im- ported French dresses cost from $250!O0 to $40O.O0. Not only have they wondered what justified such a price, but what actually prompts many Americans to pay such a fig ure for a mere dress. On the face of 1t, 1t may seem difficult to ex- plain, but there are very sound req sons why manufacturers and de- signerS pay these prices for the priviledge of copying the styles. No one questions the fact that Pa ris is the most fertile and authentic source of Fashion Design. Even the best American designers show in their collections generous percent age of French styles that they have adapted for the domestic trade. A new sleeve, a neckline, or shoulder treatment often influences all dress design for an entire season.
 Believing that most women would be interested in a behind the scenes picture of modern high style dress making, MT. Forester arranged a showing whereby a pattern was cut out in entirety before the large au- dience by one of the skilled mem- bers of the staff making an exact copy of a Paris import. The ma- terial was then draped and the dress finished on Doris Conklin, considered in the trade to be the best dress model in America. The technique followed was identical to that used in the custom salons of the dreSSmakers in Paris and New York.
 An appreciative group gathered for the showing of a collection of dresses designed by Nancy, the young American Sculptress and de- signer, whose studio is located in Ridgefield, Conn. She is probably the most widely discussed fashion originator in the country today, be- cause her knowledge of anatomy, necessary for sculping, maker her dresses unusually comfortable to wear.
 In the fashion parade of pre- Easter apparel shown, prints pre- dominate, several of the dresses having packets fitted to the hip. New fashions accenutate @ small waistline and full short skirts. At the Grand Opening in Paris skirt lengths were from IT to 20 inches from the ground but in the descrip- tive talk given on Saturday by MT. Forester he advised that personal attention be given to the length of the skirt and suitable length for the individual be chosen.
 The newest color of the season is navy green and another new hue to hit the fashion horizon is Creed blue which is similar to aquamarine and which was discovered by Creed of London and bears the name of the fashion expert.
 Goemetric prints will be a fashion headliner for early spring with the basic navy dress with white trim also in vogue. Beige and black is also shown as a highlight.
 At various intervals during the spring months MT. Forester plans to bring to Waterbury designers and styliSts who will explain some im- portant phases in dress designing thereby enabling people in all walks of life to buy good clothing wisely and economically.
