Special TO The star


PARIS. Sept. 29.--The little
dressmaker-as much a fixture
of France as the Eiffel Tower
is vanishing.
And. in her wake, the dress
making business Of this fashion
center Of the world is chang
ing from an artisanship to an
industry.
The answer to this change
can be found up six flights of
stairs at the House of Christian
Dior, the leading couturier of
France. Behind two glittering
doors with gold letters labeled,
Social Services there is an
array of antiseptic rooms
equipped with enough modern
medical tools to make the most
progressive industry in the
United States look like some
thing from the last century.
The modernistic rooms contain
the latest in equipment to
check daily those two most
important and age-old con-
Germs of the seamstress: the
lungs and the eyes.
"It is this part of Dior Of
which 1 am most proud" Nine.
Bonnet, the wife Of the former
French Ambassador to the
United States, told me with
feeling as she waved me
through the hospital-lik rooms
with decor chosen by Mr.. Dior
himself"-greys, pale blues,
and soft yellows.
Like q Beacon
Until a year ago, there was
nothing like it in France. But
today it stands like a beacon.
and it is for this daily free
medical care, plus social secur-
ity, that the little seamstresses
of France are willing to junk
their placards-"Couture"-to
go on the steady payrolls of
the big fashion houses.
To the average woman of
France, and of the world, this
is going to make q difference.
1t means that somehow the
dresses of Dior, and the other
major fashion makers, must be
within her reach. And the
frontier for this meeting place
of the pocketbook Of the aver
age woman and the price of
the select couture is the ever
expanding "boutique" or ready
to-wear shop.
At Dior's the mistress Of the
boutique is Nine. Bonnet and
a more enthusiastic major
domo they could not have
found. For her job entails

can find a Dior dress for $s5 to
S235, which is a far cry from
the $500 to $4,000 models in
the main part Of the house.
Made to Sizes
These boutique dresses are
cut individually, sewn indi-
vidually, lined just as Dior
dresses are all lined, but made
according to sizes and not for
individuals. 1t is an answer
to the prayer of the tourist
who wants to go home with a
Paris gown and finds too little

OPPORTUNITIES
AT UNIVERSITY
U. of ID. Offers 123 Courses
AT Five Locations
In Delaware
EVENING PROGRAMS

Although the University of Del
aware, like most colleges and uni
versities, has been filed to capac-
ity for the coming school year for
several months, there are still ed
ucational opportunities at the col
lege level in Delaware through
university extension.
Often registering as many stu
dents for evening work as attend
day sessions at Newark, univer-
sity extension will offer 123 cours-
es at five locations in Delaware
during the coming year. In these
evening and Saturday classes op-
portunity will be provided for
many students who cannot be ad-
mitted to the regular program.
With predictions of minimum
of four million young people seek
ing college admission by 1870, it
is easy to see that college enroll
ment problems everywhere will
grow even more difficult. Evening
programs, may, to great extent,
take up this educational slack.
Last year more than a million
adult students enrolled in exten-

versity personalities who will ex-
plore modern culture through our
ideas and our art.
American industry has placed
many universities and colleges in
difficult position by draining
them not only of capable students,
but of scientifically trained faculty
as well. Yet these same industries
have been a source of financial
support and of trained specialists
whose services are valuable in
teaching extension courses.
The extension division of the
University of Delaware seeks out
former faculty who hold industrial
positions and offers them the op-
portunity to continue their teach
ing careers. Many of these indus
trial employees welcome this in

sion programs. Predictions for this
year are even higher.
University extension students
range in age from 1s to 60-plus
years and represent an equally
wide range in income. They come
from all kinds of professions, bus
inesses and industries. These ma
ture students do not require the
housing, the feeding, the guidance
into maturity, the medical care,
the social life, nor the restrictions
of younger undergraduates
Extension courses meet the de-
mands of our economic life. Amer
lean economy is based on high
productivity and high consump-
tion of goods. Each of these con-
ditions demands education and
training. In addition to such basic
subjects as English, mathematics
and chemistry, university exten-
sion provides vocational training
in accounting, teacher training,
egineering, and other areas.
Although only in it's tenth year
at Delaware, university extension
has enjoyed rapid growth. In one
decade it has attracted nearly the
same number of students as its
parent campus over the cores
ponding period.
The variety of subjects offered
through university extension is
frequently surprising to new stu
dents. Included this year are
courses dealing with enamelling
on metal, hearing impairment in
children, business law, atomic en-
gineering principles, Milton and
his contemporaries, and the theory
of complex variables. One course

His original suit had been dis
missed in District Court on mo-
ton by the Government.
4 But today. in a split 2-to-l
opinion, the Appellate Court
sent the case back to District
Court for a full-scale hearing.
Mr.. Kraus had been fired from
the faculty of the City College
of New York in 1888 after he
engaged IN hunger strike to
protest the treatment of Jews in
Poland.
/ Wants to Approach L. n.
/ He said he wanted to go
abroad to submit his grievances
to the U. N. Commission on HUI
man Rights. Since his firing he
has devoted most of his time in
protest actions.
He has admitted being de-
pendent upon contributions from
jympathizers and from charlt-
able organizations. At one time
he was supported by a public
welfare agency.
The State Department de-
clared that it had to pay $95
to return him from Costa Rica
in 1851 and that he has not
repaid.
Nh. Kraus declared that at the
time he was about to leave Costa
RIGA for Panama, where he was
to be paid for lectures, when his
passport was lifted on the ground
that his presence was undesir-
able.
In 1854. the State Depart
ment declined to issue another
passport unless he could show
financial responsibility. The De-
partment also said his past trav-
els had created troublesome
problems for foreign service Of

written by Judge George T.

facts concerning Kraus's man
ner of supporting himself while

resources
Judge Prettyman declared that
on the basis of these facts the
State Secretary was justified in
concluding that it was not in
the best interests of the United
States to have Mr.. Kraus travel
ing abroad.
Judge Prettyman said he did
not agree that upholding the
lower court would establish a
rule that passports can be made
contingent upon financial worth
of applicants.

such rule" the jurist said. Ger

a rule
