Coats Go Up As Skirts Go Down t . YORK Aug 24. (U.R> —The hordes of dress and coat and suit buythe Paris openings are returning with considerable enthus ' ll ", i"tL ■ new fashions which have undergone many changes. ° V -ill be I season or two before the more radical innovations will be n ?' nt in the meantime there is no hope of making a last year's gown **’ l ’7for the entire outline hie changed. Skirts go down, waistlines go up * erVP ' moTtnirlv cut of to accommodate the lengthened skirt. .-.i .■‘Ant'i arc .mM*'”®'* *’

; eDC t'ou< IJ «• 1 v . vverylsxly Is intrigued watching 2 8 ’skirts go down and the trend mnl coat lengths going up should £ ’ spectacle of even greater interit is not. merely an illusion renting from the increased length of tht dresses, but an actual subtraction (rom the coat length. Paris remarks this as the newest ■lenomeiion in coat fashions that L n women are wearing, and con- ' .Meis it of great significance as a rfution of the problem of what to do about the long, irregular skirt of ’ daytime fashions. There is a coat length that is dej rib( „| as between two-thirds and i three-quarters, which leaves no doubt u to its intention to reveal a fair i portion of the skirt. French women have elected to wear ‘ the short coat rather than the full length, flared type, although the latter Is the strong candidate in separate coat fields here. The procedure i 8 inevitable, since the short evening I wrap, itself the outcome of the long gklr -. of the evening mode, has intruded itself in current, fashion. One couturier has accepted the t abort coat so implicitly as the harmonious completion to the afternoon f dre-s with irregular hemline, that he ! has deviseil special culottes to match lander skirts of fall and winter i costumes.

DELAY THREAT CAUSES WORRY (< oyriM ED F'HOM CAGE ONE) hold off action on the politically dangerous issue until after the 1930 congresnioiuil election. Farm Hock Republicans appeared to feel there was no danger of the bill being delayed and they interpreted the warning as a hint to them that the agricultural section of the bill, which they desire alone, would fail to pass unless they were inclined to cut short the impending senate debate. Floor Leader Watson said today there was no disposition on the part of Republicans to abandon their bill but on the other hand there was no intention of keeping it before congress an Indefinite length of time to the exclusion of other business. "If the bill is not signed by the president and made a law by Jan. 1, said Watson, "We are not going to let the Democrats jockey it all through the regular session of congress. If it thus should be defeated by delay, the Democrats will be to blame.” As the situation stacks up now, the Republicans could very easily abandon their bill, but there is no sound indication they have any such intention. The senate debate which will open Sept. 4 is certain to be prolonged. There are 21.000 items in the tariff bill and if each one were debated for a full day, it would require 21.000 days to pass the tariff through tlie senate. Os course there will be no such profusion of oratory, but if the Republicans get the bill passed by Jan. 1 they will be lucky. When it lias passed the senate, the light has only begun.. The house expressed its sentiment, about the tariff when it passed the Hawley bill, and there is not a senator, Republican or Democrat, who accepts the Hawley bill as entirely satisfactory. When the bill passes the senate it will be changed materially from the condition in which it passed the house and then the houses will have to fight the matter out in conference. Reparations Conference Reaches First Agreement Tlie Hague, Aug. 24. —<U.R) Tlie first formal agreement reached by the international reparations conference since it began ite sessions here was attained today at 4 pin. when Britain, France, Belgium and Japan agreed to sign a piotocal covering the question of reparations in kind. The protocol mee’s one of Britain's three main objections to the Young plan, which threatened the conference with disaster. Its chief departure is that under it. Italy consents to import large quantities of British coal for the Italian state railways.
