A PEEP BEHIND THE SCENES AT FASHIONS WHICH WILL BE POPULAR FOR SPRING WEAR American Designers Use American Fabrics In - Notable Display. Written for Chronicle By EMMA FLO WILSON Thru Autocaster Service New York, Feb. 10.—Even if one had not contemplated the immediate selection and purchase 'of new spring clothes, the clever woman will keep abreast with the fashions now being presented for spring and summer wear. Many women devote February and March to choosing and making their Spring and summer clothes, and because of the advanced fashion shows for the benefit of those who go to winter resorts, it is not at all difficult to make costumes how that will be exactly ’right when the time cemes to wear them. What the well dressed American woman will wear this spring and sum mer was authoritatively decreed at the American Fabric and Fashion Show held recently in New York. The purpose of this exhibit was primarily to show the superiority of American made materials and fashions.. That the new spring styles will leave noth ing to be desired—in color, fabric and design—was proven very conclusively All the newest fashion develop ments wehe presented in a manner which leaves no doubt that American tume, which is absolutely indispensa ble to the well-dressed woman’s ward- lightness and gayety. Suspended from line and impeccable cut and,linish. One of the most detectable differences between the sport costume of last spring and this is the absence of the brightly colored sweater of last spring. Instead, gay little blouses or jumpers which fit snugly—frequently with a high collar—are being shown. Wonted and Cashmere Rnle—Sport Models The number of sport models pre sented in the lightweight worsted and soft cashmere materials, both dresses and coats, would indicate that they will lead the mode in sport materials The most distinguishing Characteris tic of the sport models shown was the excellent quality and the fine texture of the material used—all American made. ; There are new color treatments— not found in last spring’s costumes. The colors are soft and harmonious, however, and may be worn without fear by those women who must choose their hiies with care. The ensemble costume was present ed in several very interesting models. One model shown is devloped of white nlade ;„“dTr. «n- of yellow surpassed. There were 150 models present—a mode for every style— from the youthful'miss to the more matured matron. Ensemble Costumes Instead of Gowns The noticeable absence of afternoon frocks would lead one to assume that the ensemble costume,—which con sists of coats which may be worn separately or with matching frock underneath, is fast taking the place of the elaborate afternoon gown. Most of the coats are slightly flared. One interesting feature in all mod els shown was the numerous fleeting panels. One was never quite sure wheri or where one of the floating lengths would appear next. Some times they are suspended from the shoulders—either at the front or back —and at other times they appear at the hip line. However, they are shown as an addition to the straight Imepr-and do not in any way tend to oomerate the simple boyish lines of last year. New and feminie touches greatly enhance the charm of simple, boyish models. To be really smart, .the sport cos- faille and is trimmed with an appli que design of the white Joseena. The coat is trimmed with fox at the bot tom and at the cuffs, which greatly heightens to advantage the effect of lightness and fayety. Suspended from the shoulders quite unexpectedly are panels of the yellow faille. Another esemble costume is de signed of Moonstone Serapheem pit man. The bottom of the coat is band-, ed with two-tone platinum fox. The frock is of henna and grey Frostkrepe It is lavishly embroidered with con trasting colors. The belt, tied at the front, is a decidedly new treatment. One of the coats, designed particu larly for those who delight in rather bizarre models, is developed of White Jeweltone. It is trimmed at the bot tom with a very wide band of Black Monkey fur. It is a strikingly indi vidual model, and Paris could do no better. _ _ The Street Coat Will be Popular The street coat which will prove most popular from a standpoint of practicability is developed of Moon stone Joseenq. It is a wrappy, ele gant model, with a fur collar of Fox. The one large pocket it beautifully embroidered* in gayly colored wool. \ For the miss who is looking for something very different from the usual straight-line boyish frOck, there is a street frock of Commander Blue. It has a stimulated Eton packet over waist-coat of white pique. Two rows of tiny gold buttons down the front of the white pique waist-coat gives it a novel touch. The scalloped edges of the jacket and the skirt are bound with silk braid. A street frock—very practicaf for the business or the college girl—is developed of Jeweltone. The frill down the front is faced with a con trasting shade. The buttons down the front gwe 4t an added air of tail ored simplicity and charm. It has a new “kick pleat’’ at the side. American Styles ' Here to Stay Another street frock—more elabor ate than the others—is designed of Amber Helio Chanheen. It has an inset vest and cuffs of Frostkrepe in a paler shade. The cuffs are shirred to fit snugly around the waist. At first glance, it has the appearance of an ensemble costume. It is, however, merely a new version of the tunic which was so popular all winter. The slightly circular effect from the hips down is shown to best advantage when worn by the taller woman. The range of colors and the beauti ful designs displayed prove in a man ner most convincing that American style creators and American fabric manufacturers are on a par with those found anywhere, and that the French influence of American trade has been unwarranted. This display—Ihe first of its kind—was sponsored by the National Garment Retailers' associa tion and by exhibiting firmly estab lished a distinctive American school of design in textile fabrics and in dress modes. MAY HALT CARS TO SEEK LIQUOR United States Supreme Court Rules That AH Officers Have Right To Search Without Wairant. Washington, March 2—Federal pro hibition agents lawfully may stop automobiles and other vehicles and search them for contraband liqour without a warrant, the supreme court decided today in a case from Michigan, brought by George Carroll and John Kiro. ’ In another liqour case, brought from Georgia by Sig Samuels, the court held that states under the con stitution may make unlawful the pos session of liquor acquired legally be fore enactment of the federal prohi bition act. . j Chief Justice Taft delivered the opinions in both cases, Justices Mc- Reynolds and Sutherland dissenting in the former, and Justice Butler in the latter. * Declaring that “it would be intol erable and unreasonable if a prohibi tion agent were authorized to stop every automobile on the chance of finding liquor,” Chief Justice Taft as serted that “those lawfully within the country entitled '^ use the public highways have a right to free pass age without interruption or search unless there is known to a competent official authorized to search, prob able cause for believing that their vehicles are carrying contraband or illegal merchandise.” It was the intent of congress, how ever, to make a distinction between the necessity for a search warrant in the searching of private dwellings and of automobiles, the chief jus tice stated, and that distinction was constitutional. “There is no provision in the constitution which denounces all searches or seizures without a warrant,” he said, adding that it pro hibits only “unreasonable” searches or seizures. “The guaranty of freedom from un reasonable searches and seizures has been construed, practically since the beginning of the government,” he ex plained, “as recognizing a necessary difference between a search of a store, dwelling house or other structure in respect of which a proper official war rant readily may be obtained, and a search of a ship, motorboat, wagon or automobile for contraband godtis where it is not practicable to secure a warrant because the vehicle can be quickly moved out of the locality or jurisdiction in which the warrant must be sought.” The mere manufacture of liquor can do little to defeat the prohibi tion amendment unless the liquor can be distributed for illegal sale and use, the court asserted, and for that rea son it was necessary that the trans portation of the contraband be pre vented. The rule to be applied in determin ing the legality of a seizure without a warrant, as laid down by the court, is whether the seizing officer has rea sonable or probable cause for believ ing the automobile which he stops and seizes has contraband liquor in it which is being illegally transported. The evidence as analyzed in the opinion showed that Carroll and Kiro hadlieen negotiating with federal en forcement agents for the sale of liquor, and the 'court held there was ample justification for the stopping and searching of their automobile on the road near Grand Rapids, Mich., without a warrant. Justice McReynolds, announcing that he and Justice Sutherland dis sented, said they were of the opinion that the'rule the court laid down was unconstitutional. • . ' In the Georgia case, it had been shown that Samuels in 1915 placed in his cellar liquor*and wines lawfully obtained before the passage of the prohibition law, and two years before the state of Georgia madie possession of intoxicating liquor unlawful. In 1922 the sheriff of DeKalb county seized the spirits. Samuels brought suit in the state recover the liquor, when property had been quired a state can not under the eral constitution make its ownership unlawful and seise it without com pensating the owner for. its Value. The state courts, however refused to take that view. — BELL TELEPHONE PROGRESS ♦ ••ter HE telephone workers of the Southern Group ■ JLof Bell Telephone Companies, operating in the States of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, the Caro- linas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennes see, did a bigger and better job last year than ever before. Your service is now more extensive, more effi cient and more valuable as a result of these efforts. Last year 147,473 telephones were installed and 91,580 removed, making a net gain of 55,893 new stations. This involved gross additions to plant of 216,854,370. The companies* investment in serv ice as of December 81, 1924, was $122,759,324. To manage, operate, maintain and build this ex tensive plant requires the services of 17,100 men and women, 7,725 in the Southern Bell Company and ’ 9,375 in the Cumberland Company. There is one worker for every 40 telephones. The total payroll for the year 1924 amohnted to $17,652,684, an average of about $1,032 per year per employe. Another big item of expense was the tax expense, which amounted to $3,628,279, or at the rate of $5.55 per telephone. The telephone workers appreciate your cordial co-operation and patience, which has encouraged them to work day and night that you might be served. MORGAN B.
