PICKARD U NLE8S President Iloover and the leaders of lluunce, industry and labor are all wrong, the country’s business stricture Is on a Ann busts and there is no reason why pros perity should decrease, despite the slock market collapse which In six weeks reduced stock prices by nl*out 37 per cent. What the leaders petitioned think about the situation was brought out In the conference* called In Washing- j ton by the President. First to gather were the presidents of n number of railways, together with William But- terworth. president of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States; Julius Barnes, chairman of the cham ber's board; Secretaries .Mellon and Lament and Ernest I* Lewis, chair man of the interstate Commerce com mission. President Hoover thus told of the results of this meeting: "The railway presidents were unan imous in their determination to co- oi«*rute Ir. the nr'inlenance of employ ment and business progress. It was stated that the railways whieh they represented would proceed with full programs of const ruction and better ments without any reference to recent Stock exchange fluctuations; that they would canvass the possibilities of fur ther expansion, and that amongst these particular railways it appeared that the total volume of such con struction work already indicated an increase during the next six months over the similar period of last year." Liter in the week, at the annual meeting of ilu- Hallway Business as sociation in Chicago, the rail officials of the country gave out more dellnlte lelr plans for riiich will inform punsioi cull for the expenditure of a billion dollars. The second group to assemble in tlie White House included the twelve mem bers of the advisory council of the federal reserve system and I he mem bers of the federal reserve hoard. to Itether with government officials. They gave assurance of the soundness of the business structure and the »»rob ability of cheaper money. Each mem l>er of the council reported that busi ness mid hanking throughout Ills dis trlel in lilltlol Indust rial le .luliu- Rosen nnlloi his automobile plants, benefiting about *35,000 men. I!e gave hi* views on the industrial situation, muintniring thin prices of commodities are too high too low and must he raised. As a result of the series of confer ences It is planned to set up some sort of an organization to act as a clearing house for the activities of the different groups. Mr. Barnes and Mr Butterworth, lu co-operation with Sec rotaries Mellon and Lnuioiit. will fig are prominently in this work. J AMES W. GOOD, secretary of war. died in a Washington hospital fol lowing un operation for acute up pendicills. The news of his demise was heard with deep regret through out the country for Mr. Good was re garded as a most efficient servant ol the nation and was popular with a ( host of .friends. President Hoover was especially grieved by the death of a man who had been Ills close as sociate for years and who held Ids high regard. The war secretary was given all military honors at the funeral services which were held in the east room of the White House and were attended by t u .z President and Mrs. Hoover, the members of the cabinet and as many others high in the gov ernment as could be accommodated. Then the body, ou an artillery caisson drawn by six bay horses, was escorted to the railway station mid taken on a special train to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Mr. Good's boyhood home, for burial, j It was accompanied by committees I representing the administration and ■ the senate and house and Jiy Acting I Secretary of War Hurley and Gen eral Suinmerull, army chief of staff. P RESIDENT HOOVER has com pleted the delegation to the nnval conference In London by miming ns additional members Secretary of the Xnvy Charles Francis Adams and Am bassadors Charles G. Dnwes. Dwight W. Morrow and Hugh S. Gibson. The others, previously selected, arc Secre* taiy af Slate Henry L. Stimson, Senator David A. Reed of Pennsyl vania and Senator Joseph T. Robin son of Arkansas. Admiral William V. Pratt, commander of llie United States fleet, nnd Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones, retired, will accompany the [ delegation hr naval advisor*. The addition of Secretary Adams and the three ambassadors to the I delegation was a measure taken to pacify Admiral Jones, rio bad threat- I cited to refuse to go along because he • thought the administration was not giving proper consideration to the navy nnd the naval authorities who have been opposing what they consid ered too great concessions to Great Brilrln. It was said the admiral Is now sal i-tied. F INDING it was Impossible to com plete its version of the tariff hill lids month, the senate voted. -ID to 33, to adjourn the special session of con- gross sine die on Friday night, and tlie id. Th dlsgm tariff i » It no- lapse, lie received the assurance that tlie constructive activities of the vari ous industries would be continued, and even expanded to take up the slack In That afternoon William Green, pres Idem of the American Federation of Labor, nnd other prominent Inbor leaders, together with Secretary of Labor Davis, conferred with Mr. Iloover. Aud it was announced that on Monday there would be meetings of the leading public utility magnates and of farm leaders. Thursday evening Mr. Hoover an nounced :bat a truce between capita] and labor had been made; that the big Industries of the -ountry would not reduce wages and thut organized labor would make no demands for Increased pay. Both groups, lie said, had pledged themselves to assist the President In bis endeavor to maintain business sta bility and progress. Soon after this Henry Ford an nounced that a general wage advance was to take effect immediately in all new grouping of younger Republicans, beaded by Senator Allen of Kan sas and called "Young Turks" by Senator Pat Harrison, tried to keep Hie session alive, believing much more progress with the sched ules could be made. The tariff bill retains it* place on tlie senate otieiuiar as unfinished business, and though the V&re rase comes up for disposal during the first week of the regular session, the senate lenders hope the tariff measure can be passed before the Christmas recess. Doings of lobbyists in behalf of high and low tariff oiv sugar were Investl gated by tlie senate committee on lob bylng during the week, and the In formation elicited was Interesting though not especially incriminating. Most Important of the witnesses was President Rentschler of the National City bunk of New York, which Insti tution Is deeply interested in Cuban sugar plantations and refineries. S ENATOR George n.

L. *””• FASHION NOTES BY MISS ASBURY / Miti Asbnry Piscasscs Other Fei- tof Ckufiif Styles far Wonts is Interesting Article Miss May Asbury. who is study ing in New York, writes the second of n series of articles exclusively for - The Union-Recorder di.-cu-sing fur ther the style trei d of women in America today. -r-. The following is the second of a very interesting series begun in last week’s Union-Recorder. "In length of train descend* her sweepi ng gown i And by her graceful walk the Queen "The Queen of Love ns we nil know is but another name for Beauty, who when she is in motion, is called Grace. And what accessory I nsk, helps her to achieve this last and crowning title as docs a sweep ing gown?" Thus declares Herman T.appe, one of America's foremost de signers of clothes for women. Mr. Tappe in hi. recent article in Liber ty goes on to describe two charming women as seen last July and their striking gain in beauty as achieved by the new lengthened skirt. The new manifestations of ‘!.e mode un doubtedly enhance the feminine charm, and make it more possible for each woman to be at her lovli- est. A* aforementioned, the new mode is more evidnet by evening, and cer tainly nt its height, so it is of such apparel that I now will speak. Skirts are of even ankle length all around unless possessing a train which .-weeps the ground. If the! line is uneven, the extended portions I are on either or both sides. A skirt shorter in the front is immediately dubbed .as last year’s. The Buck of, the dress, hitherto plain, is receiv- : ing the mo.-t attention in both street and evening gov. .is. Bows, flowers and jewelry motifs decorate the back in preference ta the front. All that is rich and opulent has! come to the fore in fabrics. Lace, out of fashion for several seasons past, has the rich texture and beauty that lends grace to the long trailing skirts. This fabric so generously offered at the Fall Openings in Paris hits more than justified the faith of the Paris couturiers. It forms a sequence to the printed chiffon of summer. Satin, because of its brill iant surface, especially in the new panne satins, has held a very high position in the popularity of evening materials. Tulle, net and laces have also held a popular place. The favor of the off-white colors was recogniz ed at the opening of the Metropoli tan Opera when so great was the number of white gowns in the audi ence that one had the feeling that each of these lovely damsels was just on the point of marching down some church aisle to pledg :.cr troth. Short wraps arc used for even ing in fur as well ns cloth. Often this short wrap accompanies the gown as .an ensemble. It may match or bo of a contrasting color and ma terial to the gown. The longer wraps follow the new silhouette and fit snugly from shoulders to knees, giv ing a slight indication of the inward curve of the waist, and then develop a JUiiness obtained by a shaped flounce or godet. The darker furs t-re preferable for trimming. To emphasize the elegance of the evening inode 'ong gloves have re turned, and may be had in colors to match either gown or accessories. Shoes of crepe de chine ate also of the color of the costume. Ruts for evening are gaining in favor. They are picturesque trifles made of gold and silver lace and of tulle and fine fabrics. They are made as tight fitting caps and tur bans that reveal the contour of the head. White is also the choice in>jewelry for evening. Rhinestones and bagu- tte crystals often set in silver add a sparkling glory to the costume, semi-precious stones ure combined with pearls, bringing in a bit of col or to mutch that of the costume. If one pearl necklace is good, half a dozen are better. Nothing is more flattering thin their creamy lu.-tre. .Many of the necklaces are made with the clasps at the side and still a number with pendants at the back. We are succumbing to the com mand- of the Goddess of Beauty in Accepting these styles and whom doe- •t not nvtke more charming, more al luring. more feminine? OEATH OF MRS.
