LEADS IN THE
FALL FASHION PARADE

The die is cast-American de-
signers have completed and sold
their first collection, and now the
haute couture houses of New York
have had a ten day orgy of fash
ions such as New York has never
before seen.
Cali American Fashions" have
been born, christened and are on
their way. Lavish, elegant, gilt
tering and colorful it has been
fabrics of great importance, furs
of finest quality-jewels for every
hour of the day and head gear
that is certainly more becoming
and less crazy than in former
years.
Gold military braid, sequins in
gold and silver, and color en-
broideries in beads and black jet
are the highlights of fall high FASH
ion. Black bugles, enough to rouse
an army if they were the right
kind.
Although there are many period
clothes in the 1910 Edwardian and
Victorian manner, there are a great
many very wearable, simple slim
dresses, suits and dinner tailleurs-
and many beautifully fitted coats.
The sheer woolens for daytime
dresses r found in all collections.
Wonderful tweeds and lightweight
woolens. magnificent plain black
fabrics and tweeds for suits, coats
and for evening wraps. The smart
est Of all the evening clothes are
the slim, sheer wool tailleurs and
these are far the most practical,
and the colors are most often
black midnight blue, beige, cham
pagne and grey, frequently two
tone greys which are the most
elegant of all. White wool Jersey
and black wool jersey vie with
each other for evening wear.
Jewels are more colorful and
more dramatic each season. Ear
rings, bracelets, necklaces and
rings match in design and Jewel
arrangement.
There is some satin for evening
and dressy afternoon also, quilted
like bed covers, but my guess is
that the smart wool dressy after
noon little model with fur topped
gloves and hat to match will be
not only lots smarter but heaps
more practical.

winter night when one drives te

No Worry To Him

Secretary Morgenthaus attitude
about the national debt limit IS
characteristic Of many OF the free
spendcrs in Washington.
Commenting Oh increased income
tax returns and government expense
requirements. the head Of the Treas
luy said plainly he did not think
tne iorty-f:ve billion dollar debt
limit very important" and added
there is no reason why it should
rct Lc IS, II or 48 billions. l would
not worry il il were 80 billions" He
might have made the figure still
much higher without causing him
any concern.
1t WUuild be interesting to know
Just what limit the debt would have
to reach before the secretary and
those sharing his views would be-
come worried Or would they ever
give it serious thought short of COM
plcte bankruptcy and the widest in
flatiOn imaginable?
Those in charge Of the nations
fiscal structure do have strange
ideas about money matters. 1t
would seem that men sensible
enough to occupy positions Of respon-
sibility in the conduct Of the coun-
try'S affairs would be able to see
the inevitable result Of wholesale
spending, rather than assume an at
titude OF apparent indifference to-
ward the wanton piling up OF debts
on top Of debts for the people to
have to pay.
Yet, in the face Of such comment
as that by the official head OF
the United States Treasury, there
are those who profess inability 10
understand why industry does not
quicken its pace and why there Is
so much unemployment. Mr., Nor
gcnthau has given one answer 10
the riddle.

Twelve years ago the Democratic

Cam Morrison. as gOVerno" rt .'''"i''
rrol','N Four years later they elect
ed an Episcopalian, Butcher Ehring-
haus, to succeed Gardner. Four years
ago, another great Methodist, Clyde
r. Hcey, was ELECTED.
It now looks like this year Will see
the Baptists again in power. as the
two leading candidates, A. J. Max
we'll, a member of the Baptist church
tor half century, and J. NJ. Brough-
ton, who was born Baptist and has
lived a Baptist and probably will die
in that great denomination, will pro-
badly be the first contenders in the
second primary.
Of course, no man should be elect
ed governor because of his church
Affiliations or his traternal or civic
membership, but in the present CAM
paign. unfortunately, this question
has been brought very prominently
into the discussions, and will prob
ably be more often heard in future
than il has '""n uo TO nov. If a man
is capable, able and experienced, re-

he should be given every cun>idcra-

Regulation Of Banks

Surely MI EianeS, the esteemed

that the bankers Of the country

We are not d banker, never have

BaSlng the opinion on a sort of

'Or our own part, we would choose
that alternative only as a last resort,
accepting first almost anything that

Rebuilding Route One

Route one. the ariStocrat OF all
the great national highways. can be
rebuilt through this section if the
proper procedure is followed to that
end with the State Highway Com
mission. The meeting here last
Tuesday generated a lot of enthu-
siam and good deal Of common
sense as TO melnoas. and should pro-
duce results.
The first step outlined at that
time was to prevail upon county
commissioners in the five counties
that had representatives present tC
endorse the proposal for rebuilding
the road between the Virginia line al
least to Henderson. and on to RAJ
leigh if possible The Vance county
board some time ago gave its en-
dOrsement to the idea, but certainly
will cooperate Fundamentally in
any further move within It's power.
Wake COunty, and Granville Dis
we'll, it may be assumed, can be
counted on 10 90 the limit, but less
enthusiasm might bc encountered in
Franklin and Warren. since an alter
native road IS being constructed
nearer the center of their territory
and directly through their county
seats Of WarrentOn and Louisbure
thence into Raleigh. But they Can
not have too many good roads, and
ought not to withhold support fol
this undertaking.

the many sharp curves it contain,

carries, with lines from east ano

Of the State an unsavory reputation
