Women Over 35 Are Most Interesting To Dressmakers In Paris York, Jun** 20 (UP) —Women p (lS t the ego of 3 5 uro more InterestinK to the dressmaker than those u " der 30. Moreover, there are types „t women, Americans especially, who a t 60 and 70 still have "resplendent style" Paul Poiret, noted French style creator. said in a Paris interview publishej today by the Woman’s Home Companion : ■ The undeveloped figure and uniin,.(l face of jjouth require very little study." continues Poiret. “The youngpr woman may wear standardized clothes and find them suitable and becoming. However, as character develops, as those lines appear in the face and around the eyes which render the woman more and more Interesting, personality may be defined and dressed. ••personally 1 think that American women know best how to grow old. I know American owmen of 60 and 70 who are strikingly beautiful.” Poiret explains that women of this age have passed through so many modes that they have learned to successfully adapt themselves to the clothes, by the study of their own individualities. "The mature woman," he says, "must study her hips and their size, the length of her waist and naturally the size and shape of her lower limbs. A gracefully draped skirt hem, irregular in line, while apparently of modish shortness, gives the effect of length and displays the limbs and ankles to a far greater advantage than the unyielding straight hemline," he adds. Advising women to get away from their idea of what is “right for the world." Poiret gives an interesting recipe for individuality. "Suppose that all the world of women were going to take part in a carnival," he says, "each would take a bit of fabric at hand and create a costume that was purely decorative and charming. Each costume would be charming because it would be spontaneous and decorative. My advice is to use some of this spontaneity in every day garb. Carried to extremes of course it may become absurd, but the women of innate good taste know where to stop.” Poiret sees the passing of the tooslender figure and the present simple styles, which he attributes to postwar economy and which he calls monotonous. “In the coming period of tranquility,” he declares, "couturiers will once more dare to introduce modes as characteristic of the year they are created as the leg o’mutton sleeve was of the nineties." o Cigarette Advertising Up To Supreme Court By International News Service.

Kansas VV heal Suflciing From Electric Storms By International News Service Topeka. Kansas.-“ Electric storms in southwest Kansas, are said to be •■electrocuting” the wheat, according to testimony of'a number of farmers i„ th;lt section. S. D.

in the region, but declines to entirely credit the “electrocutions.” Flora's statement followed recent reports that thousands of acres of wheat had been destroyed by the strange phenomenon. The theory is that during excessively dry weather, electric charges are generated in the dust laden air. Objects Misulated from the earth are charged with static electricity. Farmers have reported seeing balls of fire over their fields at night, and finding their fences and I windmills charged. It is a question as to whether the • changes affect the wheat; however, |it has been prove dthat after such storms there remain streaks indicating some damage, and as the storms) ! always occur in connection with dryling winds and dust storms, it is possible they may be the cause of the i damage, Flora said. Mottorists traveling across Kansas, where the wheat has been reported killed, find it necessary to trail a wire or chain behind their automobiles to dissipate the static electricity which otherwise would interefere with the ignition system.
