Dempsey. Carpenter
Meet After Decade

PARIS, Oct. 13.-.R,-Jack
Dempsey met his old ring antag-
onist, Georges Carpenter, for the
first time in more than a decade
last night in the champs Elysees
night club where the retired
French boxer, now so, is mana
ger. 500
Dempsey, former heavyweight
champion and now a Coast Guard
physical instructor, was on an
overnight trip from England
where he was inspecting the ath-
letic program.
Before the German occupation
of France, Carpenter was a
French airforce physical instruc-
tor.
The two former fighters had a
joyous reunion, agreeing that a
lot of water had run over the dam
since their famous bout in 1921.
They laughingly struck few
pugiistic poses, but drew no
blood.

ries of the lavish champagne par
ties which once marked every Pa
tou opening all but evaporated as
this fa.nous fashion house offered
its fall and winter Liberation" col
lections minus wine and most Of
the customary gayety.
Missing, too, was the bridal
dress which more often than not
was the high point Of every pre-
war Patou showing. The clientele
was well but plainly dressed.
There were no foreign buyers,
of course. No one here will hazard
guess as to when the exigencles
of war and postwar times will
permit buyers once again to flock
to Paris for the showings - nor
when products of the Paris Haute
Coutoure will be available to the
American market.
Absence of the peacetime atmos-
phere was not accidental. Program
notes described the show: Gre
ated in a period of anxiety, achiev-
ed in an atmosphere of freedom
and enthusiasm, our collection is
presented in the restrained mood
of this serious moment"
SOMBER COLORS
This serious mood" was evil
denced by somber colors - quite
sad grays in coats and suits,
blacks predominating in dresses
ard simple lines. Patou studiously
avoided patriotic motifs in clothes
and ornaments, the tri-color turn
ing up only in a large pin on a
simple black dress with which the
collection ended.
But if simplicity was the key
note of the lines, it was made up
for in elaborate pleats Gas always
at PatoW, elaborate d r p e S
something new for Patou) and
extremely elaborate passemente-
lie and handwork on an over
whelming majority of the models.
The most striking aspect Of this
collection were the coats. which
were straight, of thick wool, dou-
BILE and single-breasted and cut
decidedly along mems coat lines.
These made a considerable and
obvious hit, since many in the au-
dience themselves were wear
ing typically Patou suits with
white blouses and these new coats
will suit the clientele as perfectly
as they suited the mannequins-
who also wore typically Patou
suits under them.
Patoa's suits were plain, well
cut, with dark gray and brown
predominating in town suits. Aft
ernoon suits were predominately
black with passementerie. A ] o

Science Solves More Problems Of Synthetic Rubber, But Need Continues For Natural Rubber

These things take time-the time of workers, machinery, and of skill led chemists and engineers.
 When all these things have been done, and you get a permit and buy synthetic tire, why can't you safe ly step out at the old 55 or 60 miles an hour?
 The explanation I had been giv- en previously was that synthetic rubber doesn't stand the heat gen. erated by use as well as natura, rubber does.
 Dr. Howard Fritz, research direc- tor for the B. F. Goodrich Com pany, says this Is not correct. Gen. eral purpose synthetic, he says, will stand more heat than natural rub Der. But it will not stand as much more heat as it generates.
 HEATED BY USE
 On Goodrich laboratory machines tests have shown that under similar usage natural rubber develops 25a degrees Fahrenheit, but synthetic rubber develops 290 degrees.
 This generation of heat through the expansion and contraction of rubber is known as the Jollle effect. The faster your tires turn over, flattening as part of the surface comes in contact with the road and then expanding as the tire rolls, the greater the heat. The bigger the load on your tires, the more they flatten and then expand, and the more heat they generate.
 Even more serious. perhaps, than the effect on the synthetic rubber is the effect on the fabric cords. Cotton won't stand the terrific heat generated in syntheic ires. Rayon is better, but not good enough, and there isn't enough rayon. Under such heat, the fabric disintegrates, and the tire goes to pieces.
 So we come to an explanation why we must have natural rubber for war purposes. Heavy duty tires, running overloaded at high speed for long periods, would deteriorate quickly If they were synthetic. Ma tural rubber has to be used as bind CT and in the plies, where synthetic is not sticky enough and where heat is generated worst, with sym thetic outside to save natural rub Der.
 NEW FORMULA USED
 The day I visited Dr. Fritz the Goodrich Company was announcing a new synthetic which Is a enorm- ous improvement over the present
