dress up" a sports ensemble.
When it comes to the masterpiece
OF flower accessories, see the ador-
able lei formed of blue cornflowers
festooned about the slender young
throat and pretty shoulders of the
lassie pictured in the oval inset.
Small wonder is it that flower neck
laces such as this one inspired by
the picturesque Hawaiian leis, are
coveted by every fashionwise So
phisticate who would add more fem
mine allure to her young charms.
Be sure to order this adorable flow
er lei made with side clip Of
pink camellias which as you see
by the picture, adds a raptuyous
note. A necklace of tiny orchids
or gardenias would be an equally
glamorous choice. To fill her heart
full to overfiowing with joy, give
her matching flower bracelet.
This trend to flowers bespeaks a
new motivating thought in the minds
OF designers. They are playing up
"style" in costume flower arrange
ments that will prove as fattering
and versatile and just as dramatic
as most sumptuous jewels or other
accessory items. For example,
there is the present fad of pinning
fresh flowers on your muff or to
the cuff Of your glove. Diadems of
flowers make lovely couture adorn-
ment, while red, white and blue
flowers sound the patriotic note.

Movement Is Launched
To Boost Rubber SuppIy
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June A move
ment is under way in official and
semi official circles to increase
American rubber supplies, yet assure
producers fair price for the staple.
Sir John Hay of London, mem
ber Of the International Rubber
Regulation Committee, was reported
today to be on his way to Washing
ton to discuss means for the United
States to accumulate strategic
stock of the commodity.
The recent decision of the Rubber
Committee to maintain the export
quota at 80 per cent makes ample
rubber available, it was said, but
now producing interests hope to
draft an agreement by which the
United States would hold stocks
over period of seven years and
maintain the price above the mini
mum level.
This country, producing no rubber
itself, uses around 100000 tons
yearly, and three-fourth of the ap-
gregate goes into automobile tires
