x’EW YORK, Oct. 12 —(U.R) —Gloves have fallen under the spell of black axl' 1 •• because of the marked preference for black evening gloves that "„$•» of the Gibson Girl have arisen—although It must l« admitted that the 'enMcy toward curves has something to do with it. While black has become the meet talked of thing in glove fashions at the lament its future is by no means established as a style of future volume. That black is purely a fashion item, at the moment is conceded and it is

•hown usually In suede or a very fine With black Important as a Ltume style and considering that rte ensemble is being constantly more highly developed, it is only natural that it should extend into tho field of accessories. During the past month, retail shops hare been exploiting black suede . !o¥ es with matching handbags. Jboes belts and hats. An appreciable numlter of women have also been observed on Fifth avenue wearing they black gloves with sleeveless dresses, the expanse of trm lending a sharp contrast At the recent couturier showings, number of dressmakers presented black suede gloves for both daytime and evening wear, sometimes trimming them elaborately or using the plain black suede as a foil to a colored frock. Darker tones have been accepted in hosiery and the adoption of black may be a symbol of future interest in darker tones for gloves. The black accessory must be considered for its contrast value as well as for its distinction in relation to black costumes. It has been most effective with black and white prints in the late slimmer and can lie well assemliled with shades of red and green.

FRANCE-ITALY parity ASKED —u - H'ONT.NVEII FROM PAGE OW quishing the submarine as one of the most important branches of the Italian naval service, but this was expected and it is understood there Is no intention of pressing seriously for submarine abolition, as discussed here by President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald. Italy is absolutely unconcerned regarding the relative naval strength assigned to her as compared with Great Britain, the United States or Japan. On the contrary, it is declared on the best authority she would be satisfied with a smaller ratio than now is applied to capital ships. The latest authoritative information is that France is no less determined the conference shall give her a larger ratio than Italy. With Japan interested chiefly in economy, and emphasizing her desire to cooperate in the reduction of naval armament, the question of whether France and Italy eventually can be brought to agreement as to their relative ratios is the most difficult which presents itself to the consideration of the naval powers at this time. o COMMITTEE TO STUDY CRIME (CUNTIMVKD FROlrf PMil ONE) sessions of Gov. Harry G. Leslie s crime conference. The committee, composed of 23 members, will commence a study in crime conditions in the state at a meeting on Nov. 22 and continue its work throughout the niwter.

Dugan-Clark chief editorial writer of the Chicago Evening Post, was one of the principal speakers on the program last night. He urged that newspapers take a new and construelive atlitute towards the news they cairy. "President IlNover not long ago, in an address, deprecated the flippancy of the American press in dealing with matters of moment. I think he was justified," he said. ‘‘That is a sin to which we must confess. Ridicule cheaply directed toward public officials, institutions, laws undermines public moral. Editotial writers as well as news writers are often guilty here. ——o Shellfish That “Cries” The only place in the world where the “crying shell" if found Is in Lake Balllcalea, in Ceylon. This shellfish makes a sound like the edge of a wineglass rubbed with a wet finger. o-Self-Examination Nothing will make us so charitable and tender to the faults of others as bv self-examination thoroughly to know our own. —1- enelon. —oFormed by Glacier* The term ‘‘glacial milk” is applied to waters of glacial streams which are saturated with powdered rock scraped from the mountain sides by the moving glaciers.
