war to the League Of Nations that
followed the last war in his talk TO
members of the Business and Pro-
fessional Club Monday night at the

the years.
Mr. Bitter outlined the League of
Nations and the plans OF the DIM

The capital heard rumors today
that Donald M. Nelson, former war
production chief and now White
House adviser, may marry 26-year-

Fruit. Vegetable
Prices Are I2I%
Hiqher Than 1899

CHICAGO, Jan. 90. CUP)-Fresh
fruit and vegetables now cost the
consumer 121 per cent more than
they did in 1889, Geoffrey Baker,
chief of the food price division of
the OPA in Washington, told
meeting of the United Fresh Fruit
and Vegetable association today.
Most of the increase in prices were
caused by the necessity of equaliz-
ing the farmers income with other
industries, and of encouraging in
creased production, he said. High
wages and scarcity of labor have
also contributed, he added.
The food price chief assured
housewives that l945 ceiling prices
for fresh fruit and vegetables will
be no higher than last year, and
probably will be revised downward.
He predicted that nearly all fruits
and vegetables not now under price
control will be soon.

served their answers to- Does the
couture feel that the rise of Ameri-
can designers will have any effect
on their trends?" until a later date.
They hope that when American
buyers come to Paris they will find
the couture has lost none of its Gre
ative genius and that buyers will be
able to adapt those ideas to their
needs.
The current stress on black in
town clothes is a hint that certain
austerity is already succeeding the
mood CT defiance of last four years.
Smart French women are wearing
elaborate housegowns for receptions
at home, but few if any will don an
evening gown before the end of the
war.
Materials going into new French
fashions are neither fine wool nor
pure silk. Silk stockings are almost
entirely set aside for the manufac-
ture of parachuteS. Most woolens
now heing produced contain only a
small per cent of wool, with con-
siderable angora fur making up for
the lack of sleeps wool.
Fabric manufacturers declare that
while they have achieved miracles
with replacement" materials, in
Guiding a great many synthetics,
these can never compare with pre-
war fabrics. The requirements
haven't the body" nor do they
wear as well as pre-War fabrics.
They are the first to admit that the
shortage of raw materials is incom-
patible with the manufacture CT the
heavier weaves and novelty textures
for which they were noted in pre-

Men Who Chase
War Wives Are
Una++rac+ive lo+
BY RUTH MILLETT

An A m eric n correspondent
writes from the European war zone
that the untrue wife at home is
often cause of shell shock on the
battlefield. The news that MS wife
is in love with another man is often
more than tired battle-weary SOL
dier can endure.
There wouldn't be SO many War
wives falling in love with Other men
il war wives We're honest enough
with themselves to admit that there
are only three types of men who
make a play for the wives of men
overseas, who are too busy rcotect-
ing their country to be able TO pro-
tect their homes.
There are the poreu, not so young
husbands who look on an under
cover romance with war wife as
an easy way of building up their
own egoes and adding little excite
ment to life without endangering
their marriage or their positions in
the community.
Then there are the out-and- out
wolves VINO never miss chance.
who figure that lonely war wife
won't be able tc hold out against
their irresistible appeal
UNCAUGHT MALES
And then the: e are the unattrac-
tive, uncaught men who are drawn
to war wives because a war wife is
always the odd woman at a party,
and like any odd woman is grateful
for any masculine attention-how-
ever boring it might be.
Those are the three types of men
who make play. for war wives
and they aren't very flattering let,
so far as suitors go. How could they
be? ANY man worthy of the name
wouldn't try to start an affair with
the wife Of service man overseas.
If all war wives remembered that
even in their loneliest moments
they wouldn't get into any trouble
at all.

PARIS-Paris would prefer that
American buyers see their first
Fl ench fashion collections in Paris
The couturiers are reluctant to have
their creations seen out of their
usual atmosphere. This, and ether
style convictions, 1 discovered after
surveying the French fashion indus
try from the leading designers of
the Haute Couture to fabric makers
and "the little people" who make
the trimmings.
Whether any samples of Paris
models will be exported before
American buyers can get here de-
pends upon shipping facilities and
production. But Paris does not plan
to send over any sketches for copy
ing purposes. Considering the Gre
ative designers natural urge to
protect originality, I doubt if they
would ever sponsor such move.
PRODIGIES OF CUT
Leading Couturiers insist they
have never departed from the yard
age restrictions CT three and one
quarter meters (about three yards
and 10 inches) for a dress imposed
upon them for the last four years
Each has accomplished such prcdi-
gies of cut that a dress gives the
impression of much greater yardage
than it took to make it. They as
sured me it would be impossible to
reproduce from a sketch, even from
"toile," many of the models, SO
intricate are the details of cut.
Paris has been SO entirely cut off
from the American scene in the last
four years that most designers re-

RADIO AS RAIL SAFETY
AID NOT PERFECTED
SAYS G. N. PRESIDENT

ST. PAUL, Minn.-Inter-train ra-
dio communication will be estab-
lished by Great Northern Railway
as soon as reliable equipment is OBJ
tainable, according to F. ]. Gavin,
president. He added that such
equipment is not now available.
Mr. Gavin disclosed that train
radio communication tests now are
being conducted on the Great
Northern's lines in Northern Min
nesota and soon will be extended to
freight service on the main line
between St. Paul and Seattle
1.-THE public mind apparently is
confused on the subject of inter
train radio equipment for passenger
trains,.s asserted Mr.. Gavin. mo
equipment has been perfected for
communication between one train
and following section. However,
experiments have resulted in con-
siderable progress.
Accidents on trains, other forms
OF transportation and in industry
generally, are, in a great many
cases, the result of the failure of
the human element. The available
ity Of radio communication on trains
would mean an additional safe
guard, but not an absolute guar
antee against man filure."
