Paris Fashions Being Americanized NEW YORK, July I.—(U.K)- It is amusing to find the tables ho complete ly turned as they are in the minds of some importers tills season with regard to the exact status of Parisian styles sought in the advance sesaon for inspiration. For-year the complaint was heard that French models are so extreme, they require so much adapting, these imported types must be entirely reconstructed to conform to the style ideas of America ns.

This Beeson a different tune is sung—so impressed have the French couturiers become with the quality of Ameriran fashions and so murh effort has been put into interpreting the mood of the chic Ainericaine as she looks in her clothes, that the wail goes u that French couture fashions have become thoroughly Americanized. So the importer who goes to Paris for inspiration pines for the days of th< bizarre extremes, when French ing< nutty of design was expressing Itself to such an extent in each creation that he could get three dresses out of one model. Americans should lie proud apparently of this added evidence of the dominance of their influence. There are so many well dressed American women in Paris, constantly in the limelight and being studied by the astute couturiere that they couid ! hardly fail to be impressed by the manner in which they wear their clothes, or the discretion with which they select them. The sports influence, unquestionably one of the ’.strongest under which fashion has come, was of American inception and largely de- , veloped because of the pace-setting America did for women's activities. An ice cream social will be given by the Kirkland Ladies Club July St at the Kirkland high school building.

PROPOSE NEW RAIL MERGER Division Os Eastern Railroads Into Five Major Trunk Lines Proposed Washington, July 1.-(U.R)-Division of eastern railroads into five major trunk line systems serving the territory between the midwestern cities and the eastern seaboard was proposed today in a merger petition filed with the interstate commerce commission by the Wabash railway. The Wabash asked the commission to approve a fifth trunk line comprising its own lines and those of nine other railroads, witli one-sixth control I of four additional carriers, and trackj age lights over existing roads to give it access to many important terminI ? ls - The Wabash petition would create eastern terminal at the Atlantic seai hoard ports of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, and western terminal at Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City. Omaha and Des Moines. Service of intervening cities such as Detroit, Pittsburgh. Buffalo, Toledo, Cleveland, Akron, Fort Wayne and Decatur and gateways to New I England are a part of the plan. i Lines sought outright under lease, by purchase of stock or otherwise are Lehigh Valley, Wheeling & Lake Erie, Pittsburgh & West Virginia; Western Maryland; Lehigh * New England, Akron, Canion & Youngstown; Elgin, Joliet & Eastern: Toledo, Peoria & Western; Chicago & Illinois Midland. In addition the Wabash asked authority to acquire a one-sixth interest in the Montour; Monongahela connecting railroad; Union Railroad of Pittsburgh; and Newburgh & South Shore railway. The .Wabash petition is in direct I conflict with two proposals for four - great systems, filed by the Chesapeake i & Ohio, a Van Sweringen property, i and the Baltimore ft. Ohio. The Wabash attacked the four-sys- - tem plan of its two powerful rivals as ''uneconomic” and liable to disrupt trade adjustments and distort existing rail channels in violation of the transportation act. o Hard to Credit There are two things that are indisputably true and yet not imagina- . lively credible—that young people i should ever grow old, or that the old ! should ever have been young.—lsabel 1 Paterson. Q Environment While it is illuminating to see how environment molds men, it is absolutely essential that then regard themselves ns molders of their environment—Walter Lippuian. — o Cable Center Sixteen submarine cables, linking up all parts of the world, are joined to the Azores, where the cable exchange is nicknamed the “Charing Cross of the Atlantic." , o Hold Ideals High God never permittee any man to hold an Ideal too beautiful for His power to make it practicable.—Wendell Phillips.

"remarkable increase” of about $220,000,000 in receipts from current Individual income tax was attributed by the treasury chiefly to wiedspread prosperity and profits made on the bull stock market of the past year. Receipts from corporation taxes were slightly below tlie year previous owing to a reduction in the tax rate. Threatened increases in tariff duties caused an increase in customs duties as merchants hastened to import large stocks before the anticipated rise, the statement said. Customs duties yielded $602,000,000, as compared witli $569,000,000 in 1928. o - New Face Powder Now The Fashion Wouldn't you, too, like a face powder that will keep shine away—stay on longer — spread smoothly — not clog the pores—and always be so pure and fine?
