(United Press)—Tiers K continue to flow on fashionable djpree ud dinner frocks. Rarely do we see a man evening frock which fails to ! show some evidence of the tiered skirt. Since fringes of all sorts are back in favor we find frocks using two or three tiers of beaded or silk fringe. Fringe tiers match the frock as a rule. Tiers of contrasting color, however, are used on many of the smart I tulle dance frocks of youthful types ' For instance, there's a bright red tulle model which has its skirt trimmed with alternating ruffles cf red tulle |

A few days ago, in the Madrid Zoo, while a ( nearby orchestra was playing a snappy tune it was noticed that the biggest elephant demonstrated signs of uneasiness. Finally, the pachyderm sniffed re- . peatedly, agitating his trunk up and , dov n with extordinary speed, lifted one of its half-ton legs, then another, stopped, listened, and after hesitating' again, could not refrain any longer. He brought his two front leggs near r each other in scissor-like movement . gave a little half-inch hop. followed by a touch of trunk shaking and a sligth upward movement of the back, and made a ccmplette step. Another elephant came round to > watch the new dance, —but evidently t thought it was too complicated and re- , treated to a safe corner, howling proI tests. When the music stopped.

Leaders Claim There Is No Basis For Feeling Against Jews In Russia Moscow (United Press.)—Judging from the energy, official iir.d otherwise, with which anti-Semitism in Sovilet Russia Is being fought against and denied, the danger of repetition of the programs which marked the Czarist reign may not yet be entirely past. Several unusual efforts have recently been made, apparently on authority, to prove that dislike of the Jews does not exist among Russians. I A large public meeting was held in | the Conservatory of Music in Moscow at which Nicholas Semashko, the commissar of health and Jurie Larh),' high in the councils of the Communist Party, belittled the anti-Jtewish sentiment. “The Russian working man might hate the Jewish ‘Nepmen’ or profiteer and his wife dressed in sealskin and sables, but he cannot feel antagonism toward the poor Jew who is his brother in misfortune,” declared Larin. | "Jit is only necessary to tell the work-; ing men about the preponderance of 2,000,000 Jews who form an army of poor workers, handicraftsmen and traders. There are no-economic and no social grounds for anti Jewish feeling in Russia.” Almost simultaneously Yaroslavski, a member of the influential Central Control Committee of the Communist . — —— What Is a Diuretic? People Are Learning the Value of Occa* sional Use. Everyone knows that a iax ; ative stimulates the bowels. A diuretic performs a similar function to the kidneys. Under the strain of our modern life, our organs are apt to become sluggish and require assistance. More and more people are learning to use Doan’s Pills, occasionally, to insure good elimination which is so essential to good health. More than 50,000 grateful users have given Doan’s signed recommendations. Scarcely a community but has its representation. Ask your neighbor?

I Paryt, in a newspaper article deI nounccd anti-Semitism as “a slidedown from the class view ot Lenin to a nationalistic view.” “It is necessary to struggle against anti-Semitism,” he wrote, “because to be anti anyrhing is destructive to the Communist Party. AntkJewish feeling her might become anti-Tartar feeling, anti-Russian feeling, anti-Ar-menian feeling, somewhere else. It must be energetically fought no mat ter where its roots lie.” ——a—s—a -aWßeaeßaewaaaßMeseaMeMai
