Old Lady Fashion Seems 70 Have No
Heart AT All For The Heavyweights
ChubbyShapesAre
Always In Trouble
Ry HELEN JAMESON

dicated, Inc.)
Look at the skirts of evening
robes. Yards and yards around the
hens. Taffeta is used, that bounc-
ing frabric that should never be worn
by any woman who tips the scales
beyond 1876 pounds. Nobody wants
to look all silk and yards wide. Well
the plumpies won't fall for it, that's
all. They'll stick to soft, fragile ma
terials that cling lovelingly and
slenderize Bouffant effects are only
for the girl with The bed slat shape.
MENACE TO APPEARANCE
Observe those short chubby coats
with hunched up shoulders. If the
neck is short, they sink the plump
les head down onto her chest. her
ears resting upon the sleeve tops.
They're a menace to the appear
ance of any woman who suffers
from excess avoirdupois.
Adding insult to injury, Fashion
comes tagging along with grand
array of fuSSy fiXingS Bows, frilly
StuffS. They are also off the list of
dress decorations for the women who
makes the most of her calories.
She can wear neat, flat effect, "
cut, but no ruffles.
All CROSSINGS detract from height,
make for width. The frock without
belt or girdle is better than the
one that defines the feminine equa-
tor Prints of large patterns make
for an appearance of bulk. Plain,
dark fabrics are slenderizing, but
who wants to wear them all the
time?
MUFFIN HAT A MISTAKE
We believe that the adipose cdr-
rier makes a mistake when she
wears round little muffin hat that
accentuates the fullness of hel face.
We believe that if the arms are
diversified she should not display
them, but have softly draped SIX ives
| on her evening gowns.
The wise step is to mind ones
| groceries and get down to normal
Reducing can be done without great
diet deprivations or danger to the
health. One has but to cut down on
fats, sweets and StarcheS, take some
form of gentle exercise every day
Eight pounds month will be delet-
ed. That's getting rid of them fast
enough

The average woman may consider
herself equipped for any summer
millinery need if her war weather
wardrobe includes a trio of hats, a
large dreSSy type, a casual straw,
and a turban. The casual will see
her to work or on household errands,
the large dressy model will flatter
her afternoon and dress costumes,
and the turban-Well, a good tur-
ban can go just about anywhere
in summer, and is a lifesaver for
days when the coiffeur is beginning
to wilt.
Black or white are the two colors
most favored for dressy hats, but we
find almost as many pastel tones
and other shades complementing
summer costumes. Black horsehair
braid is especially popular, and is a
most flattering type of headgear
material. Horsehair and velvet,
horsehair and taffeta, and horse
hair and grosgrain ribbon combines
are outstanding in summer millin-
cry pictures. And interesting brim
edges, with Scallops or other at
tractive features are new and diff
ferent. A winner here is light
weight black straw medium cart
wheel edged with Milan lace, deft-
ly woven straw which greatly re-
sembles fine lace. This edging gives
veil-like effect which is most
appealing.
In the casual picture, classic styles
in lightweight straws are popular in
white, brown, navy and paStelS. A

sun. Cocoanut braid straws, in bon
nets and perkies, bound in colorful
bands, are repeating their success
of late season.
TurbanS turn up in terrific variety
from the very casual fishnet or yarn
types, through simple crepe affairs,
to the more dreSSy models. Black
or white Milan lace straw turbans
with coquettish bows which fit be-
hind the bangs or pompadour are

New Draft Call Awaited by Local Selecte Service Boards
Ruling Expected On Porter Estate School Provision

Attorney Walter Torrance, coun- sel for the Waterbury Trust O., plans tO flle In superior court next week a petition asking for ruling on whether the David Porter estate can be turned over tO the city for 2 trade school. No ruling is ea- pectCd till the fall and there seems Iitt.e likelihood that wosis on the trade school can start this year.
 Mir. Porter left securities, now worth Si7O,OO0 and . large tract of land on Meriden road, to estab- llsh . technical college for young men and women here. It will be tiia courts duty to decide whether state trade school meets this pro- vision.
 If the money and land are made available, the city will add Si0O,. GOO, to be raised from a bond issue authorized by the legislature, for the erection of buildings, and the state will provide s25O,00O t0 equip and staff the school.

action by that date on the defer ment of men over 27. Tentative app proval to such proposal was given by the senate yesterday.
 The registration last October was held in schools and public buildings, with over 1000 volunteers cooperat- ing. Tentative plans for the July registration call for each draft board to handle the registration with its own staff though, undoubtedly, if this plans appears irnpracticable the use of volunteers aides will be al- lowed.
 The attention of registrants was called by the various local boards today to the important regulation which binds all registered men to the task of keeping their respec- tive boards notified of any change in address. It Is a violation of the selective service laws for regis- trant to make a change of resi- dence withouet immediately roti- flying the draft board authorities. And misunderstanding resulting from delays in notices or delinquent questionnaires will be blamed on the registrant and he may be oh- liged to face the penalties.

Local selective service boards to- day received copies of President Roosevelt's. proclamation directing the registration of all young men Who have reached the age of 2i Since the general registration day Oct. ie, 1940. Board members and clerks immediately began making preparations to handle the registra- ton, which will be held July |, though detailed orders from state Headquarters are still being awaited. Unofficial estimates are that from 900 to 1000 youths will be required to fill out registration blanks.
 Reports from Hartford stated to- day that Connecticut has been as- signed a quota of 639 for the l4th draft call, which will begin June 25. It was said that each board in the state would be given g quota to meet, and that indu:ttons would continue from June 25 to July 10. Two of the four local board last week sent 8 total of 5l men to the state induction center, where all but eight were accepted by army doc- tors. No instructions have been re. ceived to replace the eight rejectees.

 Another problem the commission will be called on to solve is that of heavy arbitrary charges levied against city departments in order to balance the water department budget. It has been argued that the department should be placed on a self-sustaining basis, the claim being made that even if this meant ai1 increase in water rates 1t would be equalized by reduction in the tax rate, since large sum is now appropriated in the budget each year to make ID for what is actu- ally 8 water department deficit, though 1t is not So called.

Scully holds it's first meeting. Members Of the survey committee have already collected a large amount of data wf1ic i1ahey will submit for analysis.
 One of the commissions first problems will be to consider Q re- quest by the federal government for special water rates for the defense housing projects which soon will be started on Long Hill road and Ham, ilton avenue. The Federal Works Agency has submitted two alterna- tive proposals. One calls for the government to install the piping, but to get water service at half the regular rate, while the other would have the city install the piping and give the government price for water somewhat below the usual rate.
 Mayor Scully has indicated his belief that some change in the scale of water charges should be made. One suggestion has been that a slid-

Ten defense witnesses took the stand in Superior Court this morn- ing in the case of Peter Chuchelow, 9, of Wolcott, who IS being tried on a charge of criminal assault. At 100 o'clock Judge Kenneth Wynne ordered an adjournment until 200, after members of ChucheloW's fam fly and immediate friends had testi- fled in his behalf, one intimating that the Wolcott girl had demanded S2,000 in order that she should not make trouble".

Among these were the girl in the case, her sister, mother, two doctors, a pho- tographer, and four police officers.
