This year is no exception to the seasonal interest in diaphanous black underwear. Manufacturers and buyers alike report that models of black georgette will be featured for holiday selling. A French silk importer dealing with exclusive dressmaking clientele only reports a “high fashion” interest in a very soft shade of green, somewhat like almond. This is asked for in heavy chiffons, and, to some degree. in satin crepes.

DELUXE CAMPS | PLANNED FOR STATE PARKS Wheeling, West Virginia, Oct. 13— (Special)—The vacation camp deluxe Is coming. It is the next important step in state park service expansion ami has its inception in Indiana which hat pioneered so successfully in recreational reservations known as state parks. In the near future the tourist in Indiana, dissatisfied with ordinary camps provided for gasoline nomads, weary of hotel service, may enjoy a deluxe camp or cottage and relax in an environment ot purely communitygathering amidst primitive surround- • lugs. This decided innovation planned for , the Hoosier state was described by . Richard Leiber, able conservation di-| rector of Indiana, who in a brief nine | years made his state outstanding as i a loader in state park development from coast to coast. Mr. Leiber this forenoon addressed the Ohio Valley Regional Conference on State Parks, meeting in three days session in beautiful Oglebay Park near this city. The states of Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia and Indiana are participating. The deluxe camp was pictured by Colonel Lieber as the next step to provide more complete service in state parks, at the same time holding costs to patrons down to a minimum and permitting pai k use by People of modest means. It is necessitated, he declared, by the fait that entire families wish to enjoy the beauties of nature prevalent in state parks, and who do not feel they are financially able to pay the costs of 32.50 to $3.50 per day for three meals and a modern room in an Indiana State Park hotel. "I have in mind, declared Colonel Leiber," an ideal camp of fifty or more cottages in each of our parks with a community house in the center furnishing cooking facilities, eating and lounging space for the group. Into this cenl ter, the participants bring what they ! aheady have —bed clothing, kitchen and table ware and provisions if they wish to. If not, these later may be , purchased at the community service. The cost of two or more weeks stay, even for a large family may by this plan be reduced to the level of their customary standard of living. Also this ( deluxe camping may appeal to many ' to whom the cost in not the prime fac- ' tor. Into such a center, whe could car- | ry our nature guide service, as we now ; do in some of our hotels. An impre- . vised nursery would relieve young mothers during the day and in the evening, we could have nature pictures, talks, music and varied radio programs. In discussion of his work in Indiana, Mr. Lieber showed that in his nine years stewardship, state parks had grown from next to nothing to a system envolving six operating parks and other public preserves witli a marketable value of $5,000,000. He traced the I beginning from camp sites and a small i hotel, then cottages and up to the mod- . ern equipped hotels operating at nearly all Indiana paiks in winter the same 1 as in summer. He described how ati tendance and service increased from ) less than 30,000 a-year to nearly one million during 1928 with abou't 200.000 from out-state. “But what has been the cost of this to the taxpayer"? During . eight anil one-half years his department received $1,500,000 in taxmonies, he declared, and not speaking of the service rendered, the pleasures extended and made possible for millions of people, the property controlled today has a book value of nearly $3,000,000 and is easily worth $5,000,000. 0 POLITICS ON THE AIR New- York, Oct. 13. —(U.R)—Gov. Alfred E. Smith's Louisville speech and a women s rally in behalf of Herbert Hoover are the principal items on tonight’s political radio program.
