French houses this coming spring
are featuring, as are members OF
the American couture. many pleats,
crisp fabrics, f1ounced skirts, hem
lines that fuctuate between to l3i
incnes for daytime and drop to al
most ankle length or to the floor for
evening wear, extreme decolletages,
stoles, and an interest in the use
of the filmier type of supple fab
RIGS such as chiffon and jersey.
They are emphasizing back full
ness and hustle drapery in Paris.
Pastels, grays, navys and belges
dominate the color scene, Coats
and suits are made up in brilliantly
colored pinks, yellows and blues.
The period of 1850 to 1880, with
definite Renoir look, pervades many
of the collections. Petticoats and
parasols are shown. Straight skirts
with the fullness pulled around to
the back has revived much OF the
fine tailoring and cutting of fab
RIGS that has been so much part
of the French dressmaking legend.
Flared skirts fit in and out of the
collections.
Now, for some on-the-spot report
ing by members of the various press
services and writer's who actually
have sat in on the collections.
Judy Barden reports Lucien Le-
longs collection places emphasis on
accentuating busts and youthful
waists. The straight up-and-doWn
women's figure has become unfash-
ionable. Lelong stresses free
swinging skirts with both pressed
and impressed pleats for sports and
day wear. Kimono sleeves are cut
to give a cape illusion from the
back. This is a trend also seen in
other houses. Polka dots OF all
sizes are used in great amounts by
the Partisan designers, wires Flor
ence Mills. Jacques Helms Turtle
Dove" silhouette Is the basis OF his
spring collection. 1t is built on a
boneless elastic girdle attached to
a slim taffeta petticoat. Favorite
ensemble is the bolero suit destined
to be a favorite here and abroad
WOrth's clothes are simple ano
wearable. He has excellent taste
in color combinations and uses
lavish trims of flowers and fruit
The apron-front dress. a New YorR
dress week hit, is spotted in a white
linen full-skirted number with
short rounded apron in front. :.
Patou goes back to the mid '30s fol
several of his fashion notes. Cow
necks are weighted down and form
a draped v in front Hemllnei
have been raised to about IA inches
from the floor for daywear.
Mad Carpenter introduces "chir
rests" of taffeta which seem tt
come out of the neck of the suit
The apron effect at the back is II
her collection, too. ...
Dora LoueS Miller reports Schia'
parelli is spotlighting femininitl
in her collection. She introduces
a series of new decolletage half
moon capelets cut like an artist
palette. Many designs are shown
in three bright new colors. A stun

later with more economical larger
sizes. Have a good supply OF
sterile cotton on hand. At first the
baby will get a sponge bath, but you
will want bathinette or basin after
a few weeks.
If your child is to be bottle fed
you will need to have the necessary
articles before you bring the baby
home. Many hospitals supply you
with a card listing the things needed
and detailed instructions on how
to prepare the formula, or your
baby's doctor will advise you.
To take to the hospital you will
of course, need the necessary toilet
articles for yourself. The hospital
will furnish soap, towels and wash
cloths; anything else you want you
must take with you. You may wear
a hospital gown all during your stay
if you wish, but most mothers pre-
fer at least two pretty nightgowns
and bed jackets to- wear after the
baby arrives. You will need robe
and slippers. Take clean under
clothing and stockings; the street
clothes you wore to the hospital can
also be worn on the trip home. II
you plan to send announcements
it's nice to take them with you and
fill them out while you are still in
the hospital.
The hospital will supply the baby's
clothes during your stay. For 60
ing. home you will need a binder
diaper and shirt. Many mothers
take a dress and slip, but I believe
the baby will be more comfortable
in one of the nighties. A sweater
and cap, cotton blanket and a WOO
blanket or bunting will keep the
baby warm.
Best wishes to you and your baby

Alaska Women
 Enroute Europe Oppose Statehood

WASHINGTON, - (P) Two Alaska newspaper executives said today they feel the Territory can not yet afford Statehood.
 The expenses which Statehood involves would force an almost confiscatory tax burden upon Al askans, said Mrs. Helen Troy Mon sen, Juneau, and Miss Miriam Dickey, Fairbanks.
 The high taxes a State govern ment would require would drive off outside capital for the dew elopment of Alaska.
 Mrs. Monsen, daughter of a for mer Territorial Governor, is pub fisher of the Daily Alaska Elm pire at Juneau.
 Miss Dickey, executive secret ary to Alaska's millionaire A. E. Lathrop, is an official of the Mid night Sun Broadcasting Co.,, and its radio stations--KFAR at Fair banks and KENI, to be opened May 2at Anchorage and of the Panama Publishing Co.,, and its publication, the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner.
 They will sail from New York Thursday, on the Queen Mary for several months in Europe. IT. Washington they attended a Sen. ate territories subcommittee h .a:. ing on proposed Hawaiian state. hood legislation.
 "We heard a lot of testimony dealing in generalities about the blessings of statehood, but not one witness presented an actual cost estimate balancing the probable expenses and other disadvantages against the prospective benefits Mrs. Monsen commented.
 Miss Dickey added:
 "We want statehood when we can achieve it proudly and sue cessfully, not when we would be inviting bankrupcy. When we get more people and more capital statehood will come naturally"

$4,000 Autos Listed
Here, With $4,000
Expected by Dec. 81

With 167 900 motor vehicles regis
tered here at the end of last month,
District Traffic Director George E.
Kenelpp said today that "at least"
IT'S 900 will be on District streets by
December 81.
Mr.. Keneipp added that registra-
ton figures by the end of the Dis
trict fiscal year next April may pass
the record figure of $4,000 set in
1912.
The Public Roads Administration
yesterday released figures showing a
new high OF Al 100000 registered We
hicles in the Nation. The new figure
is an increase OF SO per cent-more
than 100000 vehicles-over last
year.
The new national total also in
cludes an estimated $4,000 licensed
vehicles in Maryland and 757 900 in
Virginia.
Mr.. Keneipp said registration of
taxis, private, commercial and diplo-
matte vehicles and District and Fed
eral Government cars is progressing
here at the rate of almost 1000 a
month.
None of the estimates released by
PRA includes Army or Navy vehicle
statistics.
Last year l56,l33 vehicles were
registered here, the bureau said, of
which 1902 were automobiles and
1911 were buses and trucks.
Among the States, those having
largest estimated registration are
California, New York, Pennsylvania,
Texas and Illinois.
The large registration in Cali
fornia is being felt even here, ac-
cording to Traffic Department off,
cials, because the automotive agency
of the State has not been able to
keep up with its work and persons
from there have not been able to
have their cars registered here, be-
cause they have no registration cer-
tificate.
