EASTER PARADE IN PARES WILL BE COLOR RIOT Every Hue On Nature’s Palette To Be Seen In Annual Society Parade Hv princess Ali Fazil rß ,,„d Press Staff Correspondent) p „„ Mar. 30— (UP)- » the sun h S’tomorrow morning, the tradiia Faster parade of Paris will look " a procession of peacocks. There never has been such a riot 0 f hues as this year. After a long win®'r of laden skies, dress makers deled this year's Raster robes by n all the color tubes they had and wellding brushes with both hands. walnst the green background of the noi, de Boulogne on Sunday, will a massed column of reds and yellows, blues and greens and more grays than ever. It is tradition that one Easter mornin,, ,he smart Parisian should rise early don a rather dull grown and go to church, only a bouquet of white 111lies of the valley breaking the severity of her robe. Mass over, there comes the metamorphosis. She goes home and dresses up. Ry eleven o'clock, she must be in the avenue de Bois de Boulogne, and Tor one hour, she must join the parade which moves up and down between the Arc de Triomphe and the entrance to the forest. Tradition also has it that the parade must move only on the left side of the street, and so strong is tradition that even though the sun shines just as brightly on the right side of !he road no one moves there. Parade Os Tailleurs This is going to be a parade of tailored dresses. The ateliers have been busy for weeks getting ready. The ul-tra-chick tailleurs will be in lightweight wollens with varied designs of block lines, stripes, cross checks and diagonalsTo be smart the tailleurs must be very plain. The only fancy touch can be given to the blouse, which may be of crepe de Chine or white satin. A flour or even a good-sized nosegay may he used to break the monotony nfof the tailleurs, but they should be of the same color as the cloth. A silver fox fttr hung nonchalantly over the Moulders domplates an ensemble which is really becoming because of its simplicity. If you are still of tender age and your cheeks have the bloom of youth which does not come out of cosmetic cases, you have the right to a bit more color and less severity in line, although no costume should be overtailored this year. For the young girl there is the novelty of a printed velvet collar in cloth which matches the velvet handbag. That was one of the happy Ideas Paris creators had this spring 'and it has been many years since I have seen anything so simple and yet so attractive. Personality does not lose its rights in tailored suits, because it takes more than a tailor to make a dress hang well- in a flounced dress a slight imperfection is never noticeable. In a strict tailor, everything faulty shows. You must pay strict attention to what you carry when you wear a strict tailor. A handbag out of tone, a gaudy handjcerschief or a poorly selected pair of shoes may wreck the whole symphony. Too much emphasis cannot he placed on careful selection of hag and shoes, it is a good idea to choose them m harmony, of the same matching material if possible. How often we see wrong shoes with morning wear! — o I ail To Fix Blame For Nickel Plate Accident Frankfort, Ind, Mar 30—(UP)—The dame for the crash of two Nickel ' ate freight trains near Edwardsville l in which three persons were kill- , • was unplaced today after a meet"tg of ihe Interstate commerce commission hpre, h was announced today that anothtearing would be held as soon as Smith, engineer and J.

MYSTERY PLANE BUILT TO ENTER SCHNEIDER RACE Lieut. A1 Williams, U. S. N., Hopes To Attain 340Mile Speed By Alfred /P. Heck (United Press Aviation Editor) Washington," Mar. 30 —(UP) —Out at thi' naval air craft factory in Philadelphia mechanics are working on a strange appearing plane, tearing it down from a biplane to a monoplane. The workroom is closely guarded and none may pass in or out without special permission for it is with this mystery craft Lieut. A1 Williams, of the U- S. Navy, hopes to win the Schneider cup race for America and break all air speed records. Lieut. Williams, one of the most daring flyers in the service, has remarked to friends that unless the plane will turn up 340 miles an hour he may not enter it. Three hundred and forty miles an hour —nearly six miles a minute —an almost inconceivable speed. Italian Entry And Lieut. Williams had good reason for his remark for reports have reached here that the Italian entry in the race to be piloted by Major de Bernardi has tested up to 350 miles an hour. However, this does not mean the fastest plane will win but it does mean that an entry must have the ability to come near the afstest plane or close to 350 miles an hour to capture speed honors. Lieut. W'illiams' plane is financed by the Mercury Aircraft Corporation, an organization of New' York and Eastern sportsmen interested in seeing America recover honors in the seaplane races. The sole object of the Mercury corporation, it is understood, is to penstruct the one ship to win the Schneider cup. The American mystery plane was built first as a- biplane, it was said, and later torn down for reconstruction into a monoplane, which Williams believes will produce more speed. It is powered by a 24-cylinder Packard engine, developing 1,200 horsepower. Virtually a Flying Engine When the plane is completed it will be virtually a flying engine with barely enough room for the pilot to squeeze himself into the cockpit. The present seaplane speed record is held by de Bernatdi at 318-6 miles per hour. It was established in March a year ago. However, a British plane with much less speed piloted by Lieut. Webster won the schnieider race last year at 283 miles per hour. Lieut. Williams prepared a seaplane for the 1928 races but it failed to develope sufficient speed so it was not entered. The National Aeronautic Association filed a blank entry for this year's race to bo held Sept. 6-7 in England off the Isle of Wight.
