FEWER CLOTHES FOR WOMEN IS r SPANISH HOPE Modern Dress Is ‘Loyal’ and / ‘Free,’ Says One Notable. Bv VnlleA Prcn * MADRID, Oct. B.—What do Spanish artists think of feminine fashionTo this filiation, a number of them have replied with some Interesting comments. Aurora .Tauffret, prominent vaudeville singer, better known as “La Goya,” likes modern fashion because it Is "loyal” and "free”, "Previously, she eald, women could, thanks to odd fashions, conceal Imperfect parts of their body; men were “caught”, Today surprises are almost Impossible, and It Is better that way. Personally, I prefer the classical Greek fashion to which we Bhould go back, with reasonable adjustments to life in the twentieth eentury,” Envies Japanese CYtnchlta Plrpier, the "Valencia Girl,” who recently returned from the United States, thinks fashion Bhould not be so “strict.” The best ought to be what every woman likes for herself. “What T envy Is the far-eastern fashion: Chinese and Kapaneso clothes especially appeal o me, she stated. Kimonos and pajamas for women are so agreeable to wear that fashion should evolve along this idea.” Encarnacion Lopez “La Argentinita” by her stage name, one of the few cupletistas who have not bobbed their hair because they want to remain typically Spanish, kicked against the present ugly fashions, and insisted the sticks to the old ones with convenient improvements. Manuel Tovar, favorite cartoonist, believes post war fashion is already “out of fashion,” although it helped immensely in Spain, to abolish nu merous prejudices women had kept about dressing. Also, thanks to simplified clothing, women can • now dress in five minutes, and undress In one minute, he remarked. However, it is still complicated. The antique peplum was moreVrtistic than most of the expensive dresses sold at the branches of the Paris Aims in Madrid. “The less clothing worn en will wear in the future, the better for everybody.” Cut Hair Short Rafael de Penagos, another wellknown artist who draws fine modern women, admitted frankly he prefers nudity to any dress, even the ultra short skirts: also that all women should have their hair cut short, Manuel Benedito, whose paintings have made him "the fashionable painter, declared that modern sash ion for his work has the advantage of covering little and uncovering much. Benedito, however, urged women to invent something better Ithan their combing system: “all un"lulated heads look alike,” he claimed. Hair dressers should change fashion as clothes fashion changes with seasons. Isabelita Barron, eomedian star, is also for the lightest possible, although moral, clothing. Short, onepiece dresses with nothing tight, this I consider the principle of fashion, she suggested, the rest being a question of detail and individual taste that should suffice to prevent women from looking alike. Thanks to such lashion, natural beauty could not pass unnoticed. Finally, from a different point of view, Carman Moragas, the popular actress, thinks 1926 fashion represents the triumph of hygiene, hut makes women lose their attractive aspect. “Before anything, esthetics should guide fashion,” she said, “I am convinced we should take more and more to sports, the best cure against the historical fatness of Spanish women.

Big structures sue has belfry towers were moved about In this city without the aid of modem machinery 150 years ago. The city is now celebrating the sesiiuicentennlal of Croscentino Berra, an illiterate workman, who moved the huge cathedral bell tower ten feet in 1776, Berra, knowing nothing about Biathematic.s or engineering, performed the feat in less than two hours. So sure was he as to the success of his undertaking that he placed his son on the steeple ringin gthe bells as it was being moved, while the crowd of excited and cheering onlookers feared that the structure would fall any moment, In principle there was no difference In Berra’s method and the method used today, A bridge of beams was built under the structure, which eight ropes and windlasses were used to drag the belfry along the bridge to its new site, Berra did all his figuring mentally and Intuitively.

When the horses could go no fur ther we dismounted and made our* Way on foot, sinking Into the rnlro up to our knees, "We trailed along for about fcOO yards, through almost impossible going, and saw the jaguar crouched in g tree, "It was a beautiful creature, I sliot, and it fell, It stumbled along for twenty-five yards or so and then dropped dead,” NERO USED CALLIOPE Used ns Playthings Three Cdfiturles Before Christ, Hu Times Hlierlfil ROME, Oct, if.—A circus eallliope played with water lnsted of steam was one of Nero's playthings, aceording to Italian archaeologists, following studies near the Golden House of Nero. The “water” calliope was invented by the Teyptians and brought to Rome three centuries before Christ, Nero, with his extraordinary selfconceit, Is attributed with having promised his enemies to play the Calliope at the Olympio games on condition that his .emperorship be preserved, It seems that water pressure served to create the air pressure necessary to produce different tones in the “water” calliope.
