Emphasis Being: Placed On Black

SK\V YORK, May 24. —(U.R) —Mention of Mack has been frequent of late th‘‘ reinalalcnce upon It In the cabled reports of the Paris mid-season M1 , n p g too emphatic not to refer to It again. "Black for evening,” "After- . 'iii i models favor black," "Much black velvet for afternoon,” "Coats for aternoon favor black broadcloth," are some of the statements which come (liivctly as hints of what Is going on In the fashion plans abroad. ' \ careful analysis of nil reports goes to show that Mack has a formal

,promotion considered as an advance rail tip The fabrics In which it is Pressed indicate this; it la quoted in velve t evening gowns, there is fre.ttßnt mention of the flared coat for afternoon presented in black broudrlntlr Mack crepe satins and black ’ are cited Tor the semi-formal daytime frock and there is Indicental notice for black laces, chiffons and tullesThis ruling In favor of black for fall was expected, since it follows the acquiescent mood toward it in the current season, but is is important to realize so early that in the informal fashions, the mixture and novelty woolens combined with variously tinted blouses may cater to color response for fall, while black w jU serve the purpose of formality in fabrics which have always been partial to it. Since the formal silhouette is to have more striking lines in the greater adoption of the princess or fitted idea, the conservative black may be tlie compromise. Miss Mary Macy will be hostess to the Tri Kappa sorority, Tuesday even* ing at eight o'clock, at the home of her brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs I. W. Macy, on North Fifth street.

Sheridan, was elected secretary-treasurer of the Somerset Chamber of Commerce. She formerly served as Postmaster of the town for 20 years. DIPLOMAS ARE AWARDED TO 60 D.H.S. GRADUATES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ORE! have been made in the last two decades. One was the revolution of the newspaper profession, the main cause being the inventor of the linotype by a liberal minded individual who was not content to continue with the 01-l and slow method of selling type by hand. He also referred to the creation of the Juvenile court by Judge Ben Lindsey and the great good that has been accomplished by it. Before judge Lindsey saw the need ot a juvenile court, children who had erred were treated the same as adult criminals, when they should have had love and parental guidance, he said. in connection with the juvenile court, Mr. Gurley called attention to the sentencing of a six and one-half year old l>oy in Kentucky this week to serve 15 rears in the reformatory for killing another young boy. He said that years ago, before the juvenile court was created, few persons would have thought much about the injustice of the Kentucky sentence, hut. today a widespread movement has sprung up iu an effort to have it set aside. Mr. Gurley said there was work for both conservatives and liberals. The field of endeavor for the liberals, includes, among other things, he said, the creation of a plan for abolishment of war: improvements in science; abolishment of poverty, and advancement in chemiqil engineer t ing. ‘‘Liberals and conservatives must unite on some things,” he said. “They must unite to protect the freedom of worship, the freedom of speech, and Hie freedom of press, together’ with other great principles of our nation.” I Walter J. Krick, principal of Decatur high school, made a short talk in presenting the graduating class to Mr. Worthman. Mr. Worthman responded with a talk, in which he offered both congratulations and advice to the graduates. "Be a constructive force in life, no matter where you are. and do good," lie said.

PLANES TO GET I RADIO AND WIRE STORM REPORTS U. S. Weather Bureau To Install Giant Transcontinental Net Work By Joseph It. Baird (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington.

S. Weather Bureau said today. "Eventually all air ucltvllles will demand such information systems." said W. It. Gregg, chief of the bureau's serological division. He also predicted air line operators would soon order their planes about by radio as the rail- j roads dispatch trains. Expenditure of J",50,0(10 is planned by the Bureau on hourly weather reports for flyers along the transcontinental route when its annual apprpria-j tion becomes available July 1. Three main control stations will bo establish ! ed at Cleveland, Omaha, and Salt Lake City. They will he ciineeted eventually by a high-speed teletype system, as will Bubornatc offices along the route. Storm Warnings Telegraphic and telephonic reports on meteorological conditions from present Weather Bureau stations as much! as 30ft miles off the air line will he given the control stations. The approach of storms or rain from areas parallel to the main route will be communicated to flyers direct along tlie eastern part of the system and to airports where radio communication will planes is impossible. Eventually direct connection will lie maintained all the way. A request for this amplified weather service was made of the bureau by the Commerce Department, it was stated Under tile Air Commerce Act the Weather Bureau is charged with furnishing meteorological information lo 1 airports established by the Commerce Department. As the Bureau operates under the Agricultural Department, an officer lias been appointed to link the two 'agencies in their aeronautical work. i Expansion of tlie hourly-report sys- ! tern to other sections of the country , is contemplated by the Wratlier Bureau, which will recommend the expan- ; Sion to Congress as development ot vaiiotts lines makes the high fre- ■ queney reports necessary. Probably, - the Chicago— DaUas — San Antinio routeand the New York Miami airways will he among the nevt group needing amplified weather service, it was stated. 0

Small tubes of cocaine, morphine und other drugs have been found attached to fluffy bine and pink hands of rubbered silk. Several women who have been arrusted here In connection with the selling of such contraband declared they Imported this method front America. They said that this ruse has been worked sticcesßfttly for some time past in France, enabling elegantly dressed women lo meet liners at the port and carry the drugs to various cities throughout the country. It is estimated that enough phials of drugs can lie carried in these garters to supply tlie demands of a popular opium den for several weeks. The facility with which the tubes can be detached also makes the sale of dope to transient buyers extremely easy. As a result of tills discovery, special
