FLOWERED CHIFFONS POPULAR; WASHABLE PRINTS ARE SMART ' BfV

chlffuns, having * captured about all the honors in the dressy daytime mode, are seeking new worlds to conquer. Their latest success Is registered in the program of evening fashions. Just now, these sleeveless, flowery transparent frocks at dinner and dance are flaunting a dipping-to-the-back hemline and a graceful fluttery capelet. Almost without exception these flowery, sheer midsummer nights’ modes are made with long flowing points that almost if not quite touch the ground at the back, curving up in front, to give the fashionable slanting line. The frock in the picture tells the story perfectly. Colorful transparencies such as here illustrated have as competitors lovely fantasies of tulle or of dyed lace. An interesting note about the smartest tulle frocks relates to their colorings which, according to

the opinion of French fashlonists, should be brown. One is indeed gowned smartly If frocked in russet or amber or darker brown tulle. Enthusiasm for brown tn the evening mode extends to gowns of solid toned chiffon or lace as well as tulle. This same brown trend Is also manifesting Itself in sheer prints for daytime wear. The very newest printed georgettes have a brown background with rose or beige or white pattern ing. Os course a frock of this dark tone can be worn late into midseason, especially If accompanied with brown accessories Including footwear, gloves and hat, with perhaps a brown-toned or beige fur neckpiece. Dark blue shades are also popular; In fact, rich dark shades are coming into extreme favor. For daytime wear as well as evening, many flowered chiffon frocks are without sleeves. What with floating panels falling from the shoulder and

scarf effects about the neckline, designers are achieving ingenious subtitutes for sleeves. That is, they so plan them that they fall over the arm with charming grace. Sometimes a long narrow panel, usually picoted arouid, thus avoiding a clumsy hem. is caught center to center at the back of the neckline, or that which is clev erer still, it travels across the front the object being to bring the two long ends so that they fall either forward or backward as the case may be. over the arms, as classically picturesque as Grecian drapery. All sorts of devices grow out ot the cape theme, it is clever, oa daytime modes, for a transparent cape of solid tint to effectively veil the frock which itself is flowered. Class distinction, so far as fabrics are concerned, is no longer encouraged by the mode. That is to say, it is just as smart to wear a frock of cotton on the street or at a select afternoon affair, and sometimes smarter, as it is to wear cloth or silk or velvet or any of the more formal weaves. Which is not surprising, seeing that modern cottons are that bandBeach Duds for Children Beach duds and bathing suits for children come in many of the new washable fabrics, in the smart polkadot and flower patterns, as well as In plain colors. Some are elaborated with needlework. Sleeveless Frocks Afternoon frocks are sleeveless for hot days. The bertha or a detachable cape of self-material is a happy treatment.

some these days they often outclass more pretentious and expensive materials in appearance. It Is said that interest in home dressmaking is increasing. No 'wonder! Where is the woman who, knowing how to sew, can resist the lure of the lovely cotton materials which so conspicuously grace the present fabric scene? And the beauty of It is, one can have such a plentiful array of pretty frocks at comparatively so small an outlay. In the new washable materials, as lu all other weaves, prints are outstanding. In fact gay prints are establishing themselves as an all-the-year-round item. From authoritative sources comes the word that prints will be more popular than ever this fall. Nor are cotton prints reserved for out-of-town wear only. On the contrary they have become that cosmopolitan, they grace the style parade on

city streets and boulevards, with utmost modishness. Many of the latest washable prints have dark backgrounds. Thus is their suitability for midseason and early fall wear greatly emphasized. Small neat patterns are also much in favor among the elite. Women of smart fashion are choosing frocks similar to the one shown in this picture, because they are as practical as they are good looking. Its navy background is enlivened with a gay patterning, showing con siderable white. The kid belt is white and there is a white and navy ribbon trimming at the neck tor there is every enthusiasm for white and navy combinations this season. Printed cotton crepes which are washable, also printed voiles rank among the most popular fabrics of the day. Very striking are such effects as navy crepe with peach-colored dots flecked in ull over irregularity. Such a fabric adapts Itself admirably to the ensemble idea, the coat being lined with solid peach color voile, the en tire being washable. JULIA BOTTOMLEX. (©. 192«. Western Newspaper Union.) New Organdies The new organdies are delightfully different and ever so smart and becoming. Some have self-toned patterns of very small checker-boards while others have indefinite floral patterns, also in self tones. Knitted Hats Just the thing for traveling, to tuck away in a suitcase or bag, are the new knitted hats, which hug the head and have a small upturned brim.

Short-Wave Use Proved on Long Ocean Voyage Merits of the short-wave outfit were demonstrated by M. B. Anderson, twenty-year-old wireless operator of the American barkentine, E. R. Sterling of Seattle, during her stormy voyage of nine months from Adelaide, Australia, to London, via Cape Horn. Anderson owns the amateur transmitting station ASMA in Adelaide. Having communicated with amateurs in tall parts of the world, he seized the opportunity of a job as wireless operator in order to visit some of them, and to carry out some experiments. During a terrific gale in the south Atlantic, when the ship was unmasted, he endeavored for five days, without success, to get into touch with land. 340 miles away, with the commercial 1,000-watt spark transmitter on 600 meters. But on bringing into play his 30-watt short-wave set he got a message through to Seattle, the ship's home port, almost at once, with the assistance of an amateur in Michigan. He kept in communication with Adelaide and Seattle most of the and when the ship was still south of New Zealand, C4FZ in Winnipeg, Canada, was worked on 35 meters. Equipped with a three-tube receiver, with a tuning range of from 15 to 30,000 meters, Anderson received press messages throughout the voyage. The British high-powered station at Rugby on 15,740 meters came.in well off Australia, but later he took press fron» New York on 40 meters. Reception of short-wave broadcast stations proved a boon while the ship was tossed by a gale in au icefield near Cape Hora. The American stations 2XAD and KDKA came in well, and Captain Sterling, the owner master, was able to pas£ many a weary watch with a concert from New York or Sydney to cheer him up. Anderson's set is a compact one. The receiver and transmitter are or* one. panel. A small motor converter worked from G-volt batteries supplies. 500 volts D C to the plates of thetransmitter tubes. A three-coil Meissner circuit, with the choke-control system of modulation for telephony, loosed. By-Pass Condenser and Shielded Grid Tube Due to the fact that the shield-grid of the new 222-type tube is connected directly to the 45-volt tap of the “B” battery, it has commonly been assumed that it played a negligible part in causing instability and other troubles which arise from the use of a common “B” battery. Actually this shield-grid has a mu or amplification constant with respect to the plate of between 40 and 50. This means that any variation in its voltage producesa change In the plate current 40 or sl> times as great as the same, change in plate voltage would produce. For this reason it is important to see that any common impedance through the “B” battery is eliminated. This should be done by connecting a by-pass condenser from the shield-plate terminal of the socket to the negative filament terminal. The fact that the circuit is not unstable does not indicate that coupling is not taking place since any disturbance in the “B” circuit of one particular tube' will cause in the shield of that tube which will produce “negative” regeneration or tend to reduce the amplification. Body Supplied Amount -of Resistance Needed Eugene F. Grossman, operating engineer at the National Broadcasting company in New York, is known as the “Human Grid Leak.” When the first concert of the New York I’hilharmonic orchestra was broadcast from WEAF four years ago it was discovered, just before the program was to go on the air, that a gri I leak was missing from one ot the amplified units Grossman placed two of his fingers in the clips that usually hold the grid leak and his body offered the correct amount of resistance needed The amplifier functioned perfectly and the broadcast concert was ’a success. Should Use Great Care in Selecting Proper Tubes (.'are must be exercised in the selection ot A. U. tubes for the particular receiver or purpose. When choosing a tube for a receiver of the commer cial type the purchaser has little if any, latitude. This is due to the fact that almost every manufacturer is using different filament voltage on tubes of the same genera) type. Because of the difference in characteristics of the various tubes, particularly the difference in filament voltage requirements, it is advisable to use only the tubes originally specified for the receiver.
