toother Clash Between New And Watson Averted (United Press Service) Indianapolis, Aug. 19.—A move to kestall a reopening of the political feud between Senator Watson and I Postmaster General New over appointment of successor to Homer Bllott, United States District Attorney, was seen today in the refusal of Attorney General Stone to accept Eliott's resignation on Sept. 1. The attorney general takes the attitude that Elliott should remain in office until completion of the Hawkins Mortgage company mail fraud tue. which is set for trial Oct. 1. Eliott developed the case and prosper itito the grand Jury which indict*d Morton Hawkins, of Portland, and other officers of the mortgage comPany and its subsidiary concerns. If Elliott retains his post until after Hawkins case is completed it 'ill jirobabiy be* near election time before he can wind up his affairs and out of office. In that event tkere would be little chance for •rouble over the appointment of a successor to Elliott before the voters IO to the polls. 11 is thought that politicans fear a rlash between New and Watson over slliott s successor similar to the conirt which arose in discussion of a Prospective successor to Bert Morgan *> federal prohibition director .of 1n'311,1 when reports were current that ; organ was to quit.

My Word! One Must Be Dressed .lust So, Y’Know London (By mail to United Press). I —There has been a bull market on spats, yellow gloves. top?hats and walking-sticks during the American invasion of London this summer. The advertising men and members of the American Bar Association almost exhausted the supply of ‘toppers’ in some of the batteries in the fashionable shopping districts. In order to be properly dressed at the Buckingham Palace garden party, and other functions in honor of the Americans, it was necessary, of course, to have a silk hat. A few of . the lawyers brought ‘toppers’ with them, but most of them waited to buy one here. At the Buckingham Palace garden party. Judge Crowford Biggs, of North Carolina, did not wear spats and did not carry a cane, and, by a coincidence, neither did the King. Therefore. Judge Biggs has been hailed by London newspapers as the man, Britisher or American, “with fewest sartorial imperfections” at the party. The reason Judge Biggs wasn't perfect, wast that he happened to wear yellow gloves, whereas, the King wore grey | ones. 9 o Embroidered batiste and lawn make attractive lingerie touches on , serviceable frocks of charmeen and serge.
