Color Is Background For Prints NEW YORK, May 30. —(U.R) —A change has come over the printed dress a8 presented fit the more exclusive cstabHshmenta. No longer is black the gf( . e pted background on which to splash color. Colored grounds are taking precdence. The black background has suddenly become banal, the urge for color’.hlch tinges the entire fashion world quite naturally developing in ! backgrounds. While thia has not become a muss preference it is none the

■ less important for that. B Thus, new prints for exclusive ■ fashions take on a fresh appeal not ■ onl> hy the use of the distinctive ■ plaid, check and stripe motifs prev--9 lously commented on in these col- ■ umns, but by such vivid ground colors ■as capucine, royal blue and grayed I purple, henna and dark reddisn bri)WUS in addition to greens and I wine reds, it is interesting to note I that there are comparatively gew I beige grounds in evidence, but pale [ yellow beige is Invariably used in the motifs in place of white. Eccentric capucine, enough, has proved one of the most effective shades to use in printed motifs, showing up well on nearly all the colored grounds mentioned when it is contrasted properly with other colors. Prints in which chartreuse occurs are fresh in effect and still new enough to deserve mention. Brown In various tones also has become of more than passing interest, the development of brown being reported from foreign as well as our own resorts. Brown Is used more often with white than with beige, there [ being a noticeable decrease in the amount of beige worn this spring, i Yellows appear to have replaced it. ENTERTAINS BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. Kenneth Eady was hostess, last evening, at her home on South Eighth street, to the members of the Tuesday Night Bridge Club. Five games were played and as a result, prizes for high score were awarded to Mrs. Kathryn Kyte and Mrs. Francis Eady.

'WOMAN’S CLUB DONATES TO GIRL SCOUTS The Girl Scouts organization of the city is most grateful to the Woman s Club for a donation of five dollars to be applied toward the buying of Girl Scout uniforms. The gift came unsolicited and together with money which they have made from two picture shows during the past years and personal donations by each girl, the uniforms are made a possibility, it is hoped, of the near future. Tlie Girl Scouts is a comparatively new organization in Decat nr. having been in existence a period of about two years. Last summer, the girls were grevious over the fact that they had no regulation outfits for their hikes and various activities, but decided to work during the winter and try again for the present summer. The suits cost about $2W>, and with more than S9O now raised toward this fund, the girls are joyous in their anticipation. Mrs. Bryce Thomas is the Girl Scout leader and has had charge of their various activities. ENTERTAINS BRIDGE CLUB Miss Katheryn Omlor entertained the members of her Bridge Club and a number of guests, last evening, at a very pretty party, given at her par- : ental home on Adams street.

ORATORY WINS JOB AS MAYOU Dresden, May 30—(UP)—A rhetorical battle of almost classic dimensions was recently fought in the town of Euldn, Saxony. This little community, which numbers about 1,500 inhabitants, was to choose q new mayor. Mole than 200 applicants answered the advertisement in the State Gazette, and sift as the city fathers might, they could not decide on one single person worthy of the important position. Finally they sorted out a dozen of the most likely candidates, invited them to their town hall and here hail each of them deliver an oration, the winner of the contest to be chosen as the new mayor. When the contest was held, the town hall was packed. The victory was unanimously accorded to a young administration clerk from Reichenbach who besides being the most eloquent in the final competition, with his 26 ydars of age, was also by far the youngest of all the 200 applicants. ■ —o VALUE OF AUTOS SHOWS INCREASE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) Sheep ... 8363 93,811 Sows 3768 91,220 Other hogs . 17,416 93,238 Poultry, doz. ... . ...13,865 142,435 Household Goods 3,917 924,097 Diamonds 75 5,915 The value of money assessed was $1,105,073 as compared with $1,374,957 in 1928.

The injection of a truly international aspect, for the first time in several years, has added to its importance.

Advocates of the front drive type of vehicle, which appeared first in modern speedway racing in 1925, will be on the track in greater numbers than ever before.
