I Tbe silk suit whlch ' 1,1 tbe ver »‘ on ■ descrilH-l above, must, actually fall lint., the category Os a dress, has already registered very definitely, and as eerlv as Palm Sunday was one of the fashions to be reckoned with at a popular holiday resort. One can foresee a complete cycle of this stvle - beginning with the early spring plain lightweight silks utd woolens, and proceeding through to the printed silk crepes, the printed sheers, the laces and then the cottons and linens. The task of keeping the bare arm covered is being put up to the little jacket, for gloves are recognizing this situation only to the point of being lengthened to an 8 or 12 button mousquetaire — lengths which still leave considerable arm length expos* ed. Palm Beach and other winter resorts established the precedent of the short sleeve and the short glove. Among the several new jewelry fads which promises to become an important fashion, is the revival of coral. Coral has become an outstanding fashion which took instant hold, not only in New York but in all parts of the country. Several reasons may be given for this renaissance, which has been I many years in arriving. One is that | the price range is so comprehensive that it is within everyone’s reach; two. the colors grade from white with pink flecks through the various flesh and pink tones to deep oxblood, a diversity which makes it possible to suit many complexions and also many costume colors.

Indianapolis, Apr. 27.—ftJ.Rk—New latlle-llnes were forming in Indiana polls political field today as the result of the supreme court decision Friday upholding the constitutional ity of the city manager law. Surrendering to the inevitability of the new form of government, the politicians are already laying plans to capture the commission and manage the manager. Election of commissioners will Ire Nov. 5, and the manager government will go into effect in January. Plans for holding the regular party primaries for municipal offices on Mr.y 7, are completely abandoned Ira M. Holmes, Republican member of the city election commission, announced. Since two of the three court judges failed to approve of the conclusions of Chief Justice Clarence R. Martin, in upholding the law’s constitutionality, it was intimated that additional suits might bring another point before the court for decision on constitutional grounds. Holmes declared today that he woidd not be disposer! to do so and that the decision settled matters he thought. The decision Friday was in the Evansville case, but the constitution al questions involved are the same as those in the New Albany case, which is still pendingjudge Martin, who wrote the decision upholding the constitutionally, reversed the mandate of the Vanderburgh circuit court ordering Louis P. Sarlls, city clerk, to approve a city manager petition, on the grounds that there was not sufficient evidence to show that the clerk knew the 13,388 names on the petition were those of qualified electors. The decision pointed out that the clerk must verify each name, but in a footnote cited the fact that this is now changed by the 1929 amendments so that the names themselves are' prima facae evidence. Judge Willard B. Gemmill. Martinsville, concurred entirely with Judge Martin’s findings. Judge David A. Myers. Greensburg, concurred in the conclu-fons. while Judge Julius f Travis, Laporte, and Benjamin M.

The. closest vote on the impeachment charges was the 21 to 18 acquittal vote oil the charge that Judge Hardy obstructed justice during the investigtaion of Mrs. McPhersons kidnaping story by directing attorneys and hiring detectives.

Orniiston at Carmel-by-the-Sea, and the charge tht»t the jurist rendered legal service to Angelas Temple while serving on the superior court bench.
