Quality More Important Than Quantity In Winter Wardrobe

Xew York. Oct. 11—(VP)—Through all the current discussions which Plate to styles and the pleasant little revolution which has upset walstllnes and hemlines, there is reflected the consciousness that clothes are detnamling more of the hand that, designs and executes them as well as . the department which distributes them, and the woman who is to wear Ml'are making a splendid demon st rat lon of the interest involved in

geiting Into a now stride instead of | hobbling along in the familiar rut of i WP H worn ideas. Stepping out with ■ the new fashions involves the grasp- .<■.. now dross ideal and this id -al I lilt! In concerned with a new standard of equality. Everyone who analyies the tran- | Sititions being accomplished in sil- : houettes. figures and style moods has recognized the clothes of today are clothes of distinction. that their subtleties of line ate not achieved casually. ,hat ,he new construction re quires a careful technician, not a free hand treatment. The quality idea has become a vital factor. Emphasis on price arguments must be relegated to second place; insistence on style supersedes it. We have passed through a period of such casual fashions that many women have acquired the habit of a quantity wardrobe of many little dresses simply styled, making no special demands on fabric or fitting. The quality emphasis, which may in turn raise the price schedule and the style appreciation of the customer, so that cne costume with the well made and good fabric aspect will be prefered to two or three of slipshod material and labor.

IL—(U.R)—William Jobelman, press agent for Alexander Pantages' Los Angeles theater before the magnate sold his holdings, was reluctant witness for the prosecution today in the trial of the millionaire showman on a charge ot attacking Euncie Pringle, 17-year-old dancer. Counted as one of the state's strongest witnesses, the press agent threatend to spoil prosecution plans by h's refusal to answer questions. It was apparent from the moment the publicity man took his seat as a witness yesterday afternoon that he felt very uncomfortable. He gave the impression that his collar was too tight and he frequently went through the motions of loosening it. As District Attorney Buron Fitts began his interrogation Jobelman's discomfiture increased. He wore a continual frown and mopped his face with his handkerchief. Fitts intended to show that Pautages had told his press agent what to say. Prior to the trial the district attorney announced that Jobelman. after telling one story of what he saw when he heard Miss Pringle scream and ran to the small room where she asserts Pantagea attacked her, had changed his mind and in another statement given the district attorney the “correct" version. Under pressure from Fitts, the publicity man finally said that Pantages “suggested he go to the district attorney with a statement." o Central Public Service To Buy Gas Holdings New York, Oct. 11—(UP)— Central Public service corporation nas enter ed into a contract to purchase the gas properties cont’oiled by the Dawes interests of Chicago, according to an announcemen- today.
