It goes without saying that all these ideas are- seen more generally in evening and semi-formal styles, but there is significance to the fact that Lelong develops sports skirts on circular lines, with all the fulness drifting toward the back—certainly a new aspect. Philippe et Gaston is another house that is applying the idea of exaggerated fulness at the back of the daytime silhouette. Among other sponsors of ISO lines are Talbot and Premet and Martial et Armand. It has been suggested that “late afternoon styles" have been developed as especially suitable to the lives and tastes of American women, since so many of them prefer to dine regt:I larly in hotel restaurants, rather than | to acquire the responsibility of an I establishment of their own. So Parts I is supplying America with another I type of restaurant frock, although I designating it as for late afternoon, I and it may well serve for the informI al dining hour.

STATE PASSES GAS TAX BILL (CONTI.WI'EI) FROM rtOB ONKI • ayes and 13 noes. Indianapolis, Mar. (U.Pj—With five working days remaining, legislators returned to their desks this morning to scrutinize printed copies of the two bills counted upon to obviate necessity for a 10-cent boost in the state tax rate. Representatives found before them the corporations excise tax measure expected to yield from $3,500,000 to $4,000,000 annually. Introduced only Tuesday, the bill was reported favorably by the ways and means committee before adjournment and advanced to second reading. Rules may be suspended to that the measure can be passed and sent to the senate without the routine delay. On senators’ desks lay the chain s’ore licensing bill expected to yield at least $1,500,000 and possibly double that amount. Received from the house Tuesday, the measure was reported favorably by the senate finance anumittee with amendment providing that all revenue it raised should go into the general fund. As received from the house, the chain store bill would have contributed $250,000 to state school aid for the remainder of this year, $550,000 for the first half of 1930, $500,000 for tlie last half and $300,000 each year thereafter. This provision was removed when Senator Alonzo H. Lindley introduced a measure proposing a statewide school levy for teachers’ salaries replacing local levies. Passage of the house bill increasing tiie gasoline tax from three to tour cents was conceded today in view of the senate's approval on second reading ..late._ Tuesday. Even Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush's gavel was powerless to win adoption for farm bloc amendments which would have devoted half of the $5.00b,00i) gas tax revenue increase to construction and maintenance of approximately 2,000 miles of county roads not in the present highway system. Friends and enemies o the Moorhead senate bill to bring utility holding companies under public commission control were tightening their lines for renewed hostilities. The bill was sent to second reading in the house Tuesday, when after three hours debate, a minority committee report for passage was substituted for the majority report, favoring indefinite 47 to 411.

FEDERAL TROOPS MASSING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS (CONTINUED FHOM PACE ONE) were reported to be impeding the advance of Francesco Manzo from N'avajot by wrecking communications aud at tlie same time maintaining contact with rebel advance patrols. — o ; Automobile-Train Crash Kills Three At Lebanon Lebanon, Ind., Mar. 6. — (U.R) —lnvestigation into an automobile-train crash here in which three persons were killed and another injured was to be started today.
