Three-in-One ‘Depression Dress’ • lor Economy in,Milady’s Wardrobe ***** * * * * Model Designed by Annette Simpson, American Fashion Creator Who Opeiates in laris, May be Altered in a Moment for Morning, Afternoon or Evening. BBk Mviv ' V oWL • 'L i - . ■ For Mornikg For. Aftermoom - For Eveming Th«t there are more ways than one for making your income fit your wardrobe, was recently demonstrated by Annette Simpson, the only American fashion creator working in Paris. Mrs. Simpson designed a dress which, with a few deft touches, can be transformed into a correct morning, afternoon or evening frock. Not only is the new creation a money saver, it also makes for economy in wardrobe space and is a blessing to those to whom time is valuable. In these days when the shadow of depression has fallen across the world of clothes in common with the world of everything else, the three-in-one dress should be a sure-fire hit.

By ALICE ALDEN NEW YORK. Sept. 15.—(U.R>— Enter the twenty-four-hour frock and jewelry to match. It comes to us via Paris, where it has been 1 introduced not by qotne brilliant Paris designer but by the only American woman who creates clothes in PUrlu. She is Madame Annette Simpson and she is paid a I dazzling salary by the conservative I house of Mirande to be their head l modeliste. Strange! y enough, i Mirande does iifc>t have many I American clients. She creates for such patrons as the former Queen of Spain. the Queen of Jugoslavia and other aristocratic ladies of continental Europe. And they are all content to be dressed by an j American woman who creates I clothes that are. utterly individual . to their type. | Mrs. sinipsont has not had an . easy task to storm the citadels of I fashion. But when it was discov- ■ cred that she hud a mastery of her • profession, the leading designers in Paris acceped her as one of I their own. She has had a large business here and says that her j royal clients in Europe are far less fussy than many of the women i whom she dressed here. All ; Queens want, says Mrs. Simpson, is WARTIME SHIPS AWAITING FATE IN GRAVEYARD Steel Vessels Rusting Away In Mississippi River New Orleans — (UP) Anchored I in mud and rusting Into decay as they face an abandoned old a.’e. 56 I ■ steel ships, part of a once mighty! fleet that had a direct bearin cr.

clothes that will intensify their good points and minimize their defects, and she insists that she has never been stared at through a lorgnette in the manner that Mrs. Park Avenue is apt to do. Just queens out to do their shopping and very nice and pleasing about it. Although Mrs. Simpson, is connected with a< house that caters to a wealthy, fastidious trade, she has designed a frock that can be worn for morning, afternoon and evening, and le correct for each time of day and occasion. She has with her in America, some perfectly grand models of her new idea. Thus a perfectly tailored frock of dull black silk 1 steps out ready for the morning! walk or shopping. It is semi-form 1 Utting and has a shallow V neclf.j With it is worn a single strand of j pearls. Comes lunchtime and then a matinee. Miss Economy takes a belt from her bandbag and her dress becomes more form-fitting. A series of buttons permits her to open the sleeve to the elbow and a tiny ribbon inside the neckline allows the V to become slightly I deeper. The tiny veil that was' folded inside the brim of her hat! is let down, and her trusty hand-j bag again furnishes some more tonnage mostly was destroyed in the war and this reserve fleet gave j America unchallenged supremacy j of the sea. Amercan wheat and cot- ! ton was moved to all ports of the I world. Amerca was independent and ; wealthy. Soon foregn ships began to ap 1 pear again and trade began to slacken, so the less desiraible of the ■ American ships were laid up. Sono ! were srdd and transfered to service: under foreign flags. The superior! craft were left in the service, but the weaker oils were sent to “marine graveyards,” to be stripped. z.Many of the vessels here have l been partly stripped. A lone watchi man rules supreqic on each, but he ; guards his charge even from cam- | eramen, who might reveal the condition of the boats. Some of the ships easily might be reconditioned. o Navajo (Jiris Assume Hostess Roles at Dance Winslow, Ariz.. —(UP)—Assuming that the tactics of a night club hostesses, or of a dance hall percentage girl, belong to modern life is all wrong; Navajo squaws of Arizona have been doing that sort of “gold digging” for hundreds of years. The percentage girl of the Navajo people has her inning at Squaw Dances, which are frequently held by t.he 38.n0n Navagojs who live on the 14,000.00 acre Navajo reserva j tion. Men chanters furnish the music. ; accompanied by an Indian drum. | Unmarried girls size up single men j ii. attendance and go after those of their liking, and a man, refusing to dance, must pay the girl. He also must pay—either in money or trinkets valued from 25 to 50 cents — when he stops dancing. The Squaw Dance also S a sort of matriage mart Many of the girls find their life mates there, just as sometimes happens at modern white men's dances. o Washing Dishes Isn’t All Viewpoint is that place where i I one stands and looks at washing ! 1 dishes an hour and a half every day as drudgery and pounding a typewriter eight hours a day ns n career.—Fort Worth Star Telegram

strands of pearls that can be added to the single strand and thus make it a more elaborate affair. And for .an informal dinner, all that remains to be done is to roll the sleeves up still further, where they button into a puff sleeve, and add a girdle of velvet in lieu of the belt. Then some more strands and a most elaborate clasp to the necklace and there you have Miss Economy perfectly dressed for the evening. Her shoes are black suede pumps, suitalle for almost all oceasionk. To an interested group that in'j eluded men as well. Mrs. Simpson , caught, fitted and pinned together a charming evening gown in conI siderably less than five minutes. It was an American adaption of an j evening frock of the Eugenie type. '[ Incidentally. Mrs. Simpson exi plained that the Eugenie fashions were only for the young, slim and charming ami that the mature woman should avoid them. She advises such women to be ultra-mod-ernl rather than to wear clothes that are picturesque or subscribe >to some historical period. And , above all, don’t stick a feather in , your Eugenie hat. The Titian hairjed Empress never did, but she caught an Emperor just the same. ARGUE OVER LIFE OF MONUMENT Bennington, Vt. — (UP) — How I long the Bennington Battle Monument will stand has become a con troversial question in this section. I where the historic battle was fought in 1777. The shaft, erected 44 years ago. rises 306 feet —more than half that of Washington Monument. August Lukeman, the sculptor, of Stone Mountain and other fame, recently inspected the monument and asserted that it would crumble of its own weight within 50 years. Cracks already evident made this plain, he said. Several other authorities notably Henry parsons Jones, engineer and architect, have taken vigorous exception to Lukeman's prediction Jones pointed out that a brick shaft would be 840 feet high before it would crumble of its own weight, that a sandstone shaft would be 5,950 feet high; and that with grannite the crumbling height would be 10.470 feet, or nearly to miles. He said Benington monument, built of limestone, would have to be 16 to 30 times higher than it is to crush of its own weight. Shoe Polish Export Trade Shows Increase Washingion, Sept. 15. - (U.R) —lt ! may be that people in foreign lands are shining their shoes more often, or polishing their leather boots with greater frequency, but whatever the reason, the United States is realizing a steady rise in exports of leather dressings and shoe polish. The Commerce Department reports that during the first six months of this year 1,583,184 pounds of shoe polish and leather dressings, valued at $394,980, were exported. In June exports of polish exceeded those of May by 30 per* (cent and those of January by 76] per cent. Canada, the leading market for shoe polish, was supplied with 168,951 pounds, valued at $27,063 or

24.2 per cent of the total quantity exported during the first six months of the current year. Trade fell off with Japan, Norway, Italy, British India, and Germany as compared with 1930. 0 _: Stubborn Mules Gives Mountain Lake Name Red Lodge. Mont., Sept. 15.—(UR) -A long-eared mule, weary from carrying 20 gallon cans of tisli up a steep mountain trail, has a Montana lake named for it. The nude, one of a string of 20 used by tlie United States forest service to carry live trout to a cluster of lakes in the Clear Forks region, sang to its haunches at the waters edge of an unnamed lake. The forest rangers, after attempting to rouse the animal from its sitting position, gave up in disgust and decided to dub the pool Mule lake. Two other heretofore unnamed and untisbed lakes in that region also were named with the planting of the fish in their depths. Chub lake was named for Stanford Weaver, well known wrangler in this region, who assisted the rangers plant the trout, and Granite lake drew its name from its rugged surroundings. MARSHAL CHANG DENIES RUMORS Peiping, Sept. 15.—(U.R) Marshal Chang Hseuh-liang has no intention of withdrawing from North China on account of rebellious movements, despite reports to the contrary. Marshal Chang said that it would be disastrous if ids control of North China should be given up at this time, because the government at Nanking needs his moral and actual support as much now as at any time. Marshal Change said he has no doubt whatever that General Chiang Kai-shek will remain in power at Nanking, and that this is for the best interests of China. He said that any patriotic Chinese leader must realize that civil war is disastrous at this moment, when the communist menace has not been removed. and that any who have made the communist program more difficult for General Chiang have revealed their lack of patriotism.

WHEN WINTER COMES IS YOUR house packed to the eaves with tremendous stores of flour... meat... clothing'... and other supplies to carry you through the long winter? Not very likely! But if not, won’t you— like the butterfly that played all summer without a thought of the cold days to come —won’t you be in danger of facingfamine, months before spring comes round again? Certainly not! When wintry winds are blowing their coldest, and the storm is wailing like forgotten banshees on the roof-top, the chances are you may be eating juicy strawberries from Costa Rica and fresh asparagus from. Florida. For the day of storing up supplies against the barrenness of winter has gone forever. It passed when America ceased to be a lot of scattered communities, and became a nation united by swift lines of transportation. As you read the advertisements telling you just what the stores contain for you, fresh to your order, remember that here are the inexhaustible storerooms of today ... storerooms that have banished forever the anxieties that went with the snows of yesteryear.

= NATIONS RETICENT ABOUT 1 THEIR ARMAMENT STRENGTH j Only Two Countries Follow Lead of United States In Giving Geneva Data Required to Further Reduction of World Arms '1 • 1 Geneva, Sept. 15.—<U.R)—The nations of the world are 1 showing themselves reluctant to the present status of their armaments as a first step towards the success of next ( year’s disarmament conference. Out of a total of over 60 nations, who have been invit-

1 ed to participate in the con- ■' ferenee, only three to date—namely, Russia, Belgium and the United States—have submitted the league information ” required. U. S.

' est point compatible with her nati ional security, and at the same time indicated that the full details of her present armaments would be submitted to the League later. Under a resolution adopted by the League council all these declarations should be submitted before Sept. 15, which is the latest date which would permit of their compilation, circulation and study as the first step in the conference work. The leaguers presume that many nations are witholding their data for the purpose of first seeing what others submit. Other reasons also have been put forward.

Violates Penal Code Yugoslavia called attention at the last council session to the fact that in many countries it is a violation of the penal code to make public information relative to national armaments. Japan also insisted that the question should be left to the honor of each nation to make public what armament Information it considered necessary instead of submitting detailed and comprehensive data as demanded. The importance of having the fullest Information relative to the pres ent status lies in the fact that this will constitute the basis whereon the conference will fix its future limitations, or reductions. Unless the required data is submitted by the majority of nations before the September assembly, leaguers declare that it greatly will influence the nature of the disarmament discussion before the assembly as well as the latter's decision as to wheth. er it would be advisable to hold the conference on the date set, or to adjourn for a more favorable moment. o 'look bounder's Name The evangelical Protestant denonfinatlon, Mennonfte. took its name from one Menno Simons, who whs the lender of the sect in Holland.
