Set Week Later Than Last|

Year to Allow Time for |

Full Flight.

The U. 8S. Biological Survey today set Oct. 22-Dec. 5 as the Indiana season on wild duck for ‘this year, one week later than last year. The postponement was ordered in Indiana and 26 other states, including Ohio, Illinois and Kentucky, because a majority of the State Conservation Departments said the

season opened last year before the :

ducks were in full flight. The survey issued its regulations throughout the United States in accordance with the migratury bird treaty with Canada and Mexico. . In Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Vermont and Wisconsin, the season will open Oct. 1 and continue 45 days. In Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennesse Texas and Virginia the season be from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29. ? \

of geese from five to four and the |:

possession limit from 10 to eight. It reported geese do not appear to be in as satisfactory condition as they did last year. The daily bag limit for ducks is 10 and the possession limit 20; it placed a three shell limit on repeating shotguns and limited guns to not more than 10 gauge; and it permitted, for the first time, the taking of migratory fowl with the bow and arrcw.

Other Regulations

‘backline reminiscent of the Ele[sant Eighties.

By JAMES THRASHER Hold your breath, girls! The corset is coming back. Not any of your two-way stretch,

light-as-a-feather modern jobs, either. No, sir. Fashion has decreed the ancient hour-glass model, the whaleboned combination of a surcingle and a coat of mail.. And that means, of course, that modern husbands are going to become the expert lacer-uppers that their fathers were. Buzzings of the wasp-waists have been noted for some time in the fashion magazines and style shows. Now they are definitely a marketable commodity. The law of diminishing waistlines has gone into effect, and hips are being emphasized inverse proportion.

Boned and Laced

One company, for instance, is advertising the Smoothie Emprecette. It is designed to bring the Victorian contour up to date. It is boned, laced and constructed of figured batiste, the prospectus states, and finished at the top and bottom with lace ruffles. Another has a corset designed for the younger customer which laces only in the small of the back. Yet another model, La Resista by name, offers a note of encouragement. It is gored around the top for the express purpose of allowing. the wearer to breathe. The reason for all this may be as-

dresses. To explain the bustle, however, is to enter a discussion fraught with philosophic implications. Last season, when more and more fullness appeared on the: backs of dresses, any forward-looking person should have seen what was coming. But many of us were lulled into a false security. Even when the oldfashioned camisole came home to roost, we chose to ignore it. Now the whalebone has reared its ugly head, and a state of emergency exists.

Expert Explains Trend

Fashion offers ‘an explanation shot full of anachronisms. Bustles, says one expert, are back ‘because we have been drifting toward the Gay Nineties for a couple of seasons, with the dirndl as a contributing factor. Bustles, another asserts, are here because modern engineering and life are going streamlined. The backward sweep is what counts, whether you are designing the front of a locomotive or the facade of a new evening gown. The most thought-provoking explanation, however, comes from Miss Dorothy Darling of the William H. Block Co. “I believe that when there is a possibility of war, women tend to look their most feminine in an effort to keep, their husbands close to the fireside. The bustle is woman's unconscious protest against having their men taken away.” Gosh! About one more anschluss and they’ll be back in hoop skirts.
