Offered in Maryland
BY BEN II. PEARSE,
Star Staff Correspondent.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. PA swing
in sentiment of the Prince Georges
County delegation may have an
important bearing on the contro-
versial fireworks ban bill which
passed its second reading in the
House of Delegates last night, the
reading on which the battle was
waged two years ago.
Majority Floor Leader John S.
White, who lobbied unoff1cially
against the bill in the Senate at
the 1899 session after it had passed
the House by a close margin, said
he would support Gov. O'Conor's
stand in favor of the bill to pro-
hibit fireworks throughout the
State.
Delegate Ralph w Powers, chair
man of the Prince Georges delega-
ton, which was unanimously op-
posed to the bill two years ago, said
last night there had been a con-
siderable change in sentiment
among members of the delegation
and that little opposition was eX-
pected when the bill reached the
third reading.
No Strong Opposition Heard.
"Of course, this is a Statewide
bill and every Delegate will vote
as he pleases," Mr. Powers said.
Consequently, I have not polled
the delegation.
However, I have not heard any
opposition to the bill such as was
voiced at the 1899 session. mostly
by the volunteer fire departments,
which had counted on revenues from
fireworks sale for balancing their
budgets"
While Mr.. Powers, who is a men,
Der of the House Judiciary Com
mittee. declared in favor of the
bill. Delegate L. Harold Southoron
explained he preferred the Senate
bill. which regulates without pro-
hibiting fireworks. but that he would
vote for the House bill rather than
see no restrictions imposed.
Marbury Not Committed.
Senator Charles c. Marbury Of
Prince Georges County, who voted
against the bill when it was de-
feated by one vote two years ago.
has not yet committed himself. but
is understood to be willing to sup
port Gov. O'Conor's stand. The
Senate regulatory bill still is in COM
mittee.

Pr. A. Board Opposes
Street Rerouting Plan

The Board Of the District Congress
of Parents and Teachers yesterday
joined the opposition to the proposed
plan of rerouting Eighteenth and
Nineteenth streets and closing a sec
ton of Virginia avenue to make way
for an annex to the Pan-American
Union.
The plan has been advanced by a
special committee headed by Secre-
tary of the Interior IckeS as a sub
stitute for the congressionally ap-
proved plan that the annex be built
Immediately south of the present
new Interior Building. Mr.. Ickes
blocked the building of the annex
in the original location because it
would cut off the view of the In
terror Building from Constitution
avenue.
The PIT A group protested the
new plan would form bottleneck
of traffic and increase traffic
hazards.
The board also urged more police
for community protection and traffic
safety. In the belief that the office
of the director of traffic is UNDER
stated, an increase in personnel was
recommended. Still another recon-
mendation called for special traffic
judge and provisions for taking
drunken drivers Immediately into
court where judges could see them.
This latter suggestion, it was real
lied, probabl would require estab-
lishment of night court.
Members also called for better
street lighting and installation OF
more traffic lights at intersections.

adequate provision for traffic safety

FALL STYLES ARRIvEHERE
 FOR MILADY
Casual Suits with Pledted Skirts : News in Collars
 Long Length Jackets

Thinking about your new Fall suit We hope SO! Because sults' suits and more suits will be worn by Americas best dressed from coast to coast, from south to Alaska, for practically every daytime occasion. In fact there is a suit designed for sports, daytime, business and dress" wear and there are styles to fit and flatter every fig'Le Fol lowing the trend to more casual lines, the new suits are softly tail ored, have longer jackets (approx- imately 26" to 27" in length, and their skirts are gently flared or gored, with all-round pleated skirts most popular. The well tailored boxier boys suit with three button front closing, vent back and pleated skirt is prime favorite with college and career girls. Then there's the shirtccllar jacket suit, the cardigan suit with three button closing jack ct and kick pleat skirt. In ident- ally, suit necklines are designed to follow the newest trends in olouses. For instance, your beloved sbirt- cellar blouse for the slrirtcollar suit, the callarless high necked blouse for the cardigan suit, or t3e very new turtle neck blouse.
 Plaid Suits Star
 Headed for tremendous popular ity is the rlaid jacket suit. Your fashion reporter noted it in many versions, the smartest of which was the long fitted packet with high rounded revers, all-around stitched pleated skirt. Smooth shoulders with attractive pocket and button trim, we say it will be America $ favorite. Equally smart WAS the dressmaker plaid jacket suit with inset waistband bow tied front belt, box plea ted skirt. We'd like to add about that inset waistband, it takes inches from your waistline, achieves a very flattering soft bodice effect.
 3-Piece Suits
 By all means, do see the new three piece suits! They're so cas- ually chic, so utterly new and so wonderfully wearable, that they are definitely one of the smartest, soundest, fashion investments you cuuld make Their box coats are slickly tailored, their 26" fitted jacket suits are softly tailored with all-around pleated skirt = practic- ally complete Fall wardrobe Fashion important details are the deeper cut armholes in the coats, an excellent idea from the point of view of wearability, comfort and style.
 Think of how easily they'll slip on over your suits. Many of these new box coats feature half back belt, another indication of the soft casual lock in sports clothes. In matching plaids, plaid anu plain combinations, monotone herring bones, or striped and plain com- binaticns, these 3-piece suits are the smartest your fashion reporter has seen.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-09-22

and the cardigan will continue to held its own as casual country necessity.
 Wool ties, the, long campus muf- flers (popular only in a few East ern universities last Fall and Win ter), striped shetland socks and lightweight wool dressing or loung- ing robes are moving definitely to the front.
 Other noteworthy developments include the short model tan pigskin gloves Gas opposed to the longer gauntlet model of last year), thick soles for town and country shoes, the sloped front collar shirts (which are increasingly popular), cnatinu- ing favor for the khaki hat with gabardine or whipcord band, and bold striped broadcloth pajamas in general ascendency.

COSTUME CoLoRS

Costume colors are full toned for Fall. They have depth, warmth and vitality. The greens are ver- dant, the browns earthly, the reds smcldering, and the blues deeper than the sea.
 This richness of color values has influenced the accessory picture, brushing them in with the same pigment, instead of with contrast. The result is monage in monotone, distinctive in composition and con- tinuity.sa sss-. asS
