top fashion, who looks Creole.
The following in particular
makes the personality of Doro-
thea Towles, she gives out an
mysterious air, which creates an
impression of mystery. You al
most become imprisoned by the
charm of this young woman, with
the long supple figure like lion,
who makes the days beautiful
with her excellent presentation of
clothes. 1t is for this reason that
last year DR.. Paone; the most cele-
brated impreSsario in Italy Che is
often justly called the Ziegfeld
of italy, came especially to Paris.
Having heard of her fame as a
model; he conceived the idea to
have her star in the review "Black
and White" This review was
inaugurated for the first time in
the most modern and beautiful
theater in Europe in the city of
Milano.
Dorothea arrived from this to
conquer two fields - fashions
and the theater and became
rival to the famous legend of
Josephine Baker in European
theater. The scenes of the review
we're written especially for her
by Mr.. Biancali the scenariSt of
the internationally famous film,
The Bicycle Thief" From this
Dorothea received many film Of
ters which she plans to consider
later when her American fashion
tour is completed.

THE SPECTATOR
BY ELLIOTT ]. PlEZE
COMPANY ASKS
FOR ANOTHER INCREASE

Not satisfied with the recent in
crease in rates which it received
effective February 1 of this year,
the Southern Bell Telephone Co.
is presently requesting an addi-
tional increase of $1,147, 200 in its
current rates. Using the same line
of attack as prevailed in the re-
cent series of hearings which re-
suited in the last increase, the
company claims that the new in
crease is necessary to meet the
salary boosts recently approved
by the Wage Sterilization Board
for about $500 company en-
ployees in Florida.
The first hearing on this new
application for an increase will
be held on next Tuesday, August
5 at $50 am. at 26O5 w. Flagler
St. This hearing will be primar-
lily for the interested parties. But
a general and public hearing will
be held on September 3, at $50
am. at the same place, when the
entire public will be given a
chance to have its say in this
matter.
From this corner, it certainly
looks like the same old story -
higher salaries, higher prices and
in the end the public must pay
for it all.

We have one of the best relief
pitchers in George Spencer and
Max Lanier, whom we got from
the Cardinals in the Eddie Stanky
deal, should help us. AL Corwin
appears to be a certain major lea
que star.
Spencer should be great next
season with his experience in that
tough 1851 race behind him. He
has a good fast ball, a fine sinker
and the nerve of a burglar in the
clutch.
The loss of Stanky at second
base, SO that he could move on to
st. Louis as manager of the Car
dinals, may be felt because Of his
hustle, but, Dave Williams, a real
stickout fielder, can fill in there.
The loss of Willie Mays to the
army is another blow. He would
be n o fthe all-time greats in
another season or two, but Churck
Biering, also obtained from st.
Louis in the Stanky deal, is a real
scat runner and ssures us of good
center fielding.
We surely will be able to get
off to a better start than last sea-
son, when after winning two of
u first three games we blew the
next II in a row. And I hope I
personally will have better luck.

Here they are as they look to

Sal Maglie-a curve ball artist,

curves, perfect control, a head
pitcher who is always a pitch
ahead of the hitter.
Larry Jansen-the greatest as

with a wonderful slider, fine con-
troll and enough of a fast ball SO
that when he nesds it he can reach
back and get it with effectiveness.

ing stuff, a fine sinker, better

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-White is
as good for spring as it is for
Christmas.
Fashion designers have picked
out next spring and summer as
peak seasons for the popularity Of
white and creamy off-white
shades.
They'll be turned out in suits,
dresses and accessories for day
time wear as we'll as for evenings.
There will be nothing more fav-
ored for trousseau designing than
white going-away suits and coats.
Though the trend sounds imprac-
teal, especially for city wear, it
is less a luxury now than ever
before-principally because many
of the all-white styles are being
made in washable fabrics.
With the advent of nylon, da-
cron and orion (Which in certain
forms looks almost identical to
wool), the light shades can be far
more easily handled without strain
ing dry cleaning budgets.
