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.
