President Opposes United Air Service

WASHINGTON. — President Coolidge’s determined opposition to the unification of the army, navy and postal air services, as proposed by the Curry bill, has been officially disclosed to the house military committee by Secretary Wilbur. Secretary Wilbur and Rear Admiral 8. S. Robinson, commander of the battle fleet, both appeared before the committee as witnesses in opposition to the project. Mr. Wilbur told the committee that President Coolidge had authorized him to state the opposition of the President to the plan for the creation <ff an independent department of aeronautics as not needed. He asserted that the British experiment -Involved in the creation of a unified air service has not been completely satisfactory. Secretary Wilbur said that he and all qualified naval officers believe the divorcement of naval aviation from the navy would be fraught with grave consequences tor national defense.

What the Farmers Want of Uncle Sam

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE’S agricultural conference, beaded by former Gov. Robert D. Carey of Wyoming, uas made its final report on conditions and recommendations for legislation. Briefly, according to the conference, agriculture “needs continuing constructive and sympathetic leadership in the administration of governmental departments as they affect the farmers’ varied interests.” • The one outstanding suggestion for the betterment of the fanner Is that he should be given, “through the application of the protective tariff system, the full benefits of American nrarkets.” “The American farmer cannot compete with Imported agricultural products, created through cheap foreign labor and lower of living, nor can he compete in foreign markets for the sale of his products at world price levels created by supply and demand arising out of foreign productive standards and foreign buying power,” the report said. A co-operative marketing system, fostered and supervised by the government, is recommended. A special board would be created for this work, better credit arrangements and a re-

Peace Union Would Amend Constitution

NOW that the Conference on the Cause and Cure of War is over, with its findings substantially indorsed by Ihresident Coolidge, the Women's Peace Union gets into the limelight. This organization, which has opened headquarters here, would stop war by means of a constitutional amendment They do not expeet to accomplish much at this t session of congress but expect to be in shape for an aggressive tight next December. Mrs. Gertrude Franehot Tone of Niagara Falls, N. Y„ has charge of the new headquarters. The constitutional amendment which the women seek to have congress propose, eventually, to the states, reads as follows: “1. War for any purpose shall be illegal, and neither the United States nor any state shall prepare for, declare, engage in, carry on, or in any way sanction war or other armed conflict, expedition, Invasion or undertaking within or without the United States or any state; and “Neither the United States nor any state or subdivision thereof, nor any territory, corporation, association or person within the jurisdiction of the United States shall organize, train.

To Lessen the Cruelty of Fur-Trapping

THE cruelty of the steel trap device for catching fur-bearing animals is to be the target for a natioti-wide campaign by humanitarians and nature lovers. The object Is the abolition of this needless form of torture of wild animals. Announcement by Edward Breck, commander United States navy, retired, naturalist and historian, that he has completed an investigation of the me!hods prevalent in the fur industry which is to be the basis for a great campaign has stirred humane organizations and nature societies. Commander Breck. at a meeting of the Humane Education society here, scored the apathy and indifference of the public to this prevalent form of cruelty tn animals, which he branded as “an outrage upon decency and upon ethics.” While one phase of the campaign will be devoted to public education on this form of wild life protection, activity will be centered on state lawmaking bodies. The campaign has the support of the American Humane as-

Capital Likely to Be “All Dolled Up”

THE next five year* will probably see the capital “dolled up” considerably. Congress appears, at this writing, quite likely to pass

bill* providing for the expenditure of $50,000,000 for public buildings and »14,750,000 for the Arlington memorial bridge. * Emphasising the need for the passage by this congress of a general public buildings bill which will take care of urgent building needs to the states as well as to the District, the report of the majority of the committee on public buildings and grounds of the house points out that the Treasury department is now spending $1,135,000 a year for rentals to the District The internal revenue bureau, the report states, to housed in ten buildings here, the general accounting office to twenty-one buildings and the Department of Agriculture to forty-five building*. Some off the buildings are described as “veritable firetraps." With respect to the need for an archive* building here, the report says: -The Mtuatton with regard to the

Asked about duplication of efforts and expense Involved in separate army, navy and postal air services. Secretary Wilbur replied that it was the constant effort of the Navy de partment to avoid all such duplication. He expressed the opinion that the aims of economy and efficiency sought by the Curry measure could be better obtained by co-operation between tbt army and naval air services. Mr. Wilbur objected in particular to one provision of the bill which, h« thought, would require the navy tc surrender to the proposed -new department of aeronautics large quantities of material and ships now used in connection with the operation of naval aircraft. He declared that If the bill is to be enacted it should be amended specifically to release these items. The aviation properties of the navy, he said, are valued at $42/155,570 and the navy Is endeavoring to increase Its air defense as far as practicable oi necessary.

adjustment of freight rates are suggested. The conference made its report to the President at breakfast at the White House. The guests of the President for the occasion were: Secretary Gore of the Department of Agriculture, members of the conference. Senator Curtis, Republican leader ol the senate; Representative Longworth, majority’ leader of the house, and Senators Charles L. McNary (Ore.), Henry B. McKinley (Ill.), Republicans; Ellison D. Smith (S. C.), Democrat, of the senate committee on agriculture, and Representatives Gilbert N. Haugen (la.) .Fred S. Purnell (Ind.), J. N. Tincher (Kan.), and Frank Clague (Minn.), Republicans, and James B Aswell (La.), Democrat, of the house committee on agriculture. The conference had this to aay on tariff rates: “While the conference ’ is not making specific recommendations at this time, relative to tariff legislation, it nevertheless wishes to be understood as sympathetically recognizing the need of protecting our various agricultural commodities by adequate tariffs on foreign products that come Intc competition with them.”

sociation. the Humane Education society, and other organizations interested in protection of dumb animals. Mr. Breck said. An important point stressed by him is that the fur industry does not stand to lose In the elimination of traps, in that the decrense in the number of fur-bearing animals captured will send the prices of pelts up, and the wearer of furs alone will be hit financially. The following points wfll be stressed as the basts for the campaign: . Eighty to ninety million animals are caught every year in steel traps which involve needfess suffering. One-tenth of this number would be enough for the demands of real necessity ; the rest Is merely In response to the demands of fashion, and is attributable to a great extent to the present custom of wearing summer furs. The campaign is not directed against the fur trade, but is instituted in the belief that L.e trade Itself will co-op-erate to eliminate the cruelty from trapping.

great need for a national archives building is well known to congress, and It to not deemed necessary to dwell on this subject other than to say that too great stress cannot be laid on the necessity for protection for government records, some of which are invaluable and priceless and could not be replaced.” The program, it to said, has the approval of the President, the bureau of the budget, the secretary of the treasury and the postmaster general. “The Indorsement which the Arlington. memorial bridge proposition to receiving throughout the country to surprising,” the report say a “It to not only a national memorial symbolical of the reunion of the North andthe South but it to a part of the development of our national capital and to also a' part of the transportation system of the whole United States. It will connect up the Lincoln and Lee highways and will give the capital one of the most beautiful approaches to the world.”

Paris Pyjama Is Worn in America

Launched last autumn by Molyneux and worn at that time for the promenade by the ladies along the Lido, the pyjama has now definitely penetrated Into these more conservative shores, and today is a part of the wardrobe of every smart American woman, asserts a fashion writer in the New York Herald-Tribune. In France Its purposes have been many. Originally worn as a substitute for the nightgown its sphere has widened until now it appears at the informal tea hour, as a robe d’lnterieur, at the beaches and for the promenade. In this country Its use has so far been limited to infoisnal and intimate home gatherings, but It has been noted occasionally at the southern resort reaches, and It is quite possible that the pyjama will become an out-of-door costume during the approaching spring and summer. The fabrics and designs of the pyjama costumes run directly counter to the accepted tenets of the current mode. Unadorned sophisticated simplicity is discarded In favor of ornate styles, ornate fabrics, lavish trimmings and vivid color combinations. Crepe de chine, velvet, lame, satin, and jacquard silk and cotton combinations are trimmed in an oriental manner by materials similar to those used on robes du soir. Reaches to the Hips 'the pyjama coat reaches generally to the hips. It Is cut on wide, ample lines and shows no trace of the molded bodice of the formal mode. Chinese and effects, slipping on over the head, are the most usual types, but the pyjama coat is generally substituted in new ensemble costumes, i The pyjama ensemble is a three-piece consisting of pyjama jacKt. trousers and either negligee or boudoir robe. The pyjama trousers are similar In each case, but the coats vary In length. With the negligee a seven-elghths-length coat appears—equally long blouses are also used — while in combination with the breakfast robe a short coat is employed which can also serve as a matinee or sacque. The ensemble negligee reaches to a little below the pyjama Jacket while the boudoir robe, although much shorter, also extends to a little below the abbreviated pyjama coat Dressing gowns of the more conventional type also emphasize striking colorful effects. Printed fabrics are most modish —notably panne velvet, crepe de chine and cretonne. The prints are principally in large floral designs—a very novel feature Is the i emphasizing of these designs with I beaded embroideries so applied that i the outstanding characteristics of the . flower become more vivid. New French Underthings. The impeccable Parlsienne has always indulged herself in the vanity of the daintiest lingerie—even in those frilly yesterdays when the silhouette was not as delicately molded at It is now. Lingerie and the silhpnette travel together in the new order of things and this is so. no matter which of the various modish outlines Is adopted by milady. The boyish straight line of recent years, the hemline flare of this winter and the Russian silhouette all share two characteristics—they mold the figure closely at some point between the shoulder and the knee and they exploit the classic straight back. There are, of course, numerous variations of these three silhouettes, but each invariably includes the two salient molding themes. It is evident that neither the molded bodice nor the straight back can be disturbed by the dissonance of careless or awkward underthings if they are to retain their esthetic appeal. The

Laces Used for Trimmings

Neither the wide skirt nor the flared hem is in any way dependent upon the underthings. Tunics, tiers, plaitings and various other manipulations of the frock itself are quite sufficient to obtain all of the new skirt effects Fabrics are various but always fragile. Among the silks crepe de chine is more popular than georgette tliis season while the principal cottons are still voile and batiste. Linen faded from the picture a year ago and there are no indications of its return. For trimmings, laces are used 'principally. They are not employed in anything like the profusion of the past and seldom appear except as edgings or medallions. Valenciennes, chantilly and alencon are used again this season and in addition duchess and Calais have been added. Color Is obviously an unessential in this season’s lingerie and yet the Parislenne has manifested a distinct preference for the cyclamen and lilac shades which are being generally exploited for the spring collections of millinery and frocks as well. All of the pastel shades are en regie, notably

White Evening Frocks in Fashion Limelight

White for evening was the dictate of the smartest couturieres at the beginning of the season, and white for evening to apparently the rule of fashion. • There are two kinds of white evening frocks, one that has the ingenuousness of youth, the other a sophistication that can be achieved only by the true artiste to clothe*. In the first class are those adorable dance frocks of chiffon trimmed with gardenias, or of tulle with wide, full skirts like that of a Spanish dancer and pert little bows of silver ribbon placed at most strategic point*. Under the beading of frocks off soSmart Hat la Untrimmed W comes in many shapes, all small and all smart, but to every instance it to notable for Its lack off trimming.

classic lines of antiquity, upon which the present mode is founded, were unhampered by lingerie, high shoes, corsets or any of the other restraining accessories which have been acquired with advancing civilization.

Slip Developed From Orange Crepe de Chine, Medallion Trimmings. dent Grundy could desire and their importance In the modern scheme of fashions derives from the fact that they must be always present but never accounted for. The sheath-like lines that always appear somewhere in the contemporary silhouette are never Interfered with —the progress of the back-to-nature march of modern fashions is never retarded. In a word, lingerie, to the present-day Parislenne, is a fundamental necessity reduced to an absolute minimum—stepins and a chemise are sufficient unto any costume. The neckline of the new underthings is not as important as It was last season. The high neck which distinguishes themewest frocks makes it a comparatively simple matter for the chemise to remain In Its necessary obscurity. Os course, if your frock has either a deep sloping line of a V cut. it will naturally be necessary that the lingerie conform. The waistline is of the utmost importance in the choice of underthings. The waistline of the outer costume has 4 been generally neglected in the tubular silhouette of recent seasons but there is a strong tendency to define It more clefirly in the spring models. Clearly defining in this instance is a comparative term —as a matter of fact the ceintufe line will be very delicately marked as compared with past waistlines. and it will be the function of the lingerie to gently stress this effect where possible. For the long-waisted ’ frock there Is a silk chemise which maintains straight lines to the lower than normal waist.

flesh and Nile green, and a darker tint creeps in., Color, fabric and trimming are only incidentals to the lingerie of 1925. The line’s the thing and it must conform tn a completely self-effacing manner to the molded, often sinuous, lines of the new sophisticated silhouette. Embroidered Stockings Stockings of chiffon weight in the fashionable shades have a large rose embroidered in front Just below the knee. Others even more striking In appearance have designs of fish, flowers, trees’and conventional patterns done in a manner which suggests a Chinese of Japanese design. Needle Substitute When stringing beads it is often difficult to get a needle small enough to pass through the«bead. An easier method is to let candle grease drop on the end of your thread and twist It between your fingers. When it has become hard, you have a good tute for a needle.
