are still in the news, and TERED and
pencil skirts all allowing only
very cramped leg movement also
are retained from last season. Gre
clan drapery, in every conceivable
form, creeps into every collection.
An Extravaganza in the full
skirted line is displayed by Chris
tian Dior who uses 40 yards of
material in one gown.
Suits are spotlighted this fall.
Most of them are dressy affairs
with fluted peplums and rounded
cut-away hemlines. All have ex-
tremely nipped waists and jacket
lengths run the scale between
wrist and thigh level Fur trim
ming in either fox or Indian or
Persian lamb is used extensively
Embroidery in heavy soutache, jet
or velvet also injects glamour
Classic suits often come with
capes of half, three-quarter and
seven-eighth length, all tailored
on straight lines. which convert
them into extremely chic three
piece ensembles.
Some topcOats have huge cape
collars reminiscent of the Little
Corporal and the coachmen who
served in his day.
Fabulous full length capes and
bulky, almost shapeless topcoats
are trimmed and lined extensively
with all kinds of fur from low
liest coney to opulent mink. Even
long fitted coats often come fur
lined Collars, fur or furlined, are
very high, straight affairs which
often envelop the face right up to
the ears.
Evening wear is superb this fall.
1t has a splendor one associates
with Cinderella's big night. Bill
lowing dervish skirts and crino-
line stake the lead, but sheath-like
gowns, both TERED and draped, are
to be seen in most collections. All
come thickly encrusted with dazz-
ling muti-colored brilliants that
look like precious jewels, or with
elaborate embroidery in sequins
( jet and sometimes rhinestones. APP
pliqued velvet motifs also are used
profusely.
Materials are luxurious in tex
ture and color. Rich velvets, pas.
/ tel brocades, moire taffeta, organ
die, net and heavy satins are ex-
plotted to the full for billowing
fullness. Silk jersey and crepes
! are used for Grecian drapery.

Industry's Role in Higher
Living Standards is Told

AMERICAN INDUSTRY'S con-
tribution to winning for this coun-
try the worlds highest standard of
living through production of more
goods at lower prices, while main
tanning constantly rising wage
scale, is detailed in a pamphlet en-
titled. "The Public Be Served"
just published by the National As
sociation of Manufacturers.
TT is THE STORY of the back
ground operation of the NAN,
whose 1880 members produce
more than 800 of all manufac-
tured goods in the United States.
1T is A STORY of a young
nation with but SO of the worlds
area and 7% of the worlds pOpula-
tion out-building, ut-producing and
out-purchasing all of Europe or all
of Asia.
IT TELLS OF real wages more
than doubling since MANS found
ing in 1895; of shorter working
hours, of production increasing
nearly seven times, and of how
capital invested in manufacturing
has quadrupled. And, in the ac-
complishment of these ends the
success of competition over mon
opoly, of freedom over collectivism.
WHEN AN ASSOCIATION to
serve American industry was or
ganized So years ago by 800 busi-
nessmen who met in Cincinnati,
they adopted these guiding princi-
pies for the NAM:
TO FOSTER DOMESTIC and
foreign commerce; to improve rela-
tions between employer and en-
ployee; to protect individual liberty
and the rights of employers and
employees; to disseminate infor-
nation among the public with re-
sDect to the principles of individual
liberty and ownership of property
and to support legislation in fur
therance of those principles; tC
opnose contrary legislation" and
those remain its detectives today
the pamphlet points out.

Grass Controlled
By Use of 2-4-D

HONOLULU Up Growth of
grass in sugar cane fields can be
controlled through the use of Pad,
the chemical weed killer, although
sugar cane is a grass and the
chemical does not injure grass un-
der most systems of application,
says DIR. H. F. Clements, plant ply
siologist of the University of Ha-
waii.
Clements experiments show that
application of the chemical before
the grass sprouts can be made to
prevent growth of grass where it
is not wanted. Several methods of
application have been used, some of
which developed injuries to the
cane plants as we'll as controlling
| the grass.
The chemical has been spread be-
tween cane rows, broadcast over
fields and spread by airplane. Gle
ments emphasizes, however, that
the work is still in the experiment
tai stage although it proves pre-
termination control of grass is
possible. Q

AGAIN IN PARIS
By Florence Mills
AP Nnwsfoafuros

PARIS Paris fall collections
show that Mae Vests famous con-
tour is back in the news, and the
skirt length that enveloped the re-
nowned form in her heyday has
accompanied the big return.
Exaggerated silhouettes, how
ever, are, seldom popular choices
and only a toned down version of
this outsize fignre-eight line will
be necessary to be la mode.
The all important question of
length which was broached last
year, with only partial success,
has become an issue this fall. The
trend is definitely downwards as
far as midcalf at least, so you'll
all have to do some hem-dropping.
Shoulder span remains rounded
and moderate. Newest thing to
note is that sleeves in some col
lections are inserted we'll below
the, natural shoulder line almost
as an. afterthought. Padding ex-
tends only slightly beyond the ma
tural span.
Mad Carpenter, an acknowledge
ed pace-setter, shows this dropped
shoulder line throughout her coll
lection. 1t is particularly marked
on her top coats which often show
sleeves inserted half way down to
the elbow
For those who really take the
Mae West trend seriously, "gue-
pieres" (hippy, waist-restricting
cOrselets)' are available, but Paris
designers have thoughtfully ca
tered also to those women who
spurn artificial aid for their fig
ures.
Many big houses are displaying
a wide range Of gown nodded to
the natural form. These come in
straight-lined semi-sports wear
and in afternoon and cocktail
gowns where swathed drapery is
artfully treated to promote a ns-
tural Mae" eine.
The barrel silhouette, so named
because the widest part of the
skirt comes at the middle hips
all fullneSs being tapered off al
waist and hemline, is favorite
this season, despite the fact thai
many collections exclude it com
pletely. It is executed in various
ways Some dresses have gathers
strung from a fitted waist yoke
being graduated into a hemlint
equivalent to that of pencil skirt
Others acquire the barrel line b!
an unusual curved seam about f;
foot up from the skirt bottom
which looks as though it is hoop
ed.
Hobble skirts with intricat'
crossed swathing around the hips
often with bustles Of varying size

Big Family of ReetIes

The beetles of the family
Cleridae, commonly referred to as
"clerids" by entomologists. form
one Of the more interesting groups
within the vast assemblaEe Of
beetles The majority Of the 5000
known kinds Of clerids are attrac-
lively marked and many possess
some Of the richest and softest col
ors found in the beetle group. Most
Of the species are rare in nature
but some are occasionally found in
numbers on the trunks Of dead trees
and are important in controlling de-
StruCtive timber-boring insects.
Others are frequently collected on
the heads Of bright colored compos.
lite flowers. One species, occurring
in beehives. was well known to
the ancient Greeks and is mentioned
in the writings Of Aristotle.

heart Of an athlete during violent
exercise can expel three times as
much blood per minute as it expels
during bodily rest, but TO perform
this work the heart itself uses
about one-quarter Of the blood it
pumps At such a time the heart
uses almost as much oxygen a.
the entire body does when al rest.

Capitol Policeman
Fired for Blackjack
Attack on Member

A member OF the House was
attacked recently by a Cap
itol policeman with a black
jack and the policeman was
fired Immediately, it was
learned today.
Identity of neither the police
man nor the member was dis
closed. The incident was re-
lated by William F. Russell,
sergeant at arms of the House,
in testimony before a House
Appropriations subcommittee.
Asked to amplify his testi-
mony, Mr.. Russell said he had
no further comment.
The incident took place, 1t
was learned, when a new mem
ber of Congress approached a
policeman at one of the police
desks on the House side of the
Capitol and asked to use the
telephone.
The policeman, according to
the story said he did not
recognize the man as a men,
ber of Congress and refused to
let him use the telephone.
When the member insisted, and
started to use the phone, the
policeman pulled out his black
jack. threatening the member,
but did not actually strike him.
For this, the policeman was
summarily dismissed.
