Do American Women Today Really
Look Like Acorns? Asks Hal Boyle
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. Do Ameri
can women today real), look like
row of acorns?
Thli question has the clothing in
dustry in i mild tizzy.
The accusation that women, by
aping the body lines of movie
stars, had become as much alike
as so many unhorn oak treea in
their nutshells was made by Ray
mond Marinelli, well known
designer.
Marinelli said this aameness re
sulted because too many women
had adopted "the universal, uplift
bustline, whether or not It cor
responded with their own contours.
But his charge drew an immedi
ate and heated denial from a lady
clothing designer Cynthia.
"The upstanding bustline has al
ready gone out," aaid Cynthia
firmly. "And the acorn look is a
thing of the past. It may have been
popular a few years ago. But it has
been replaced by the natural look.
"The trend new is for each

woman to atress her own natural
body line to wear clothing with a
natural shoulder, natural hip and
natural bustline. And with no ex
aggeration anywhere."
Cynthia lady designers, like
male hairdressers, tend to regard
last namea as superfluous also
had nothing but scorn for Marinel
li'a contention that women would
be more beautiful if they threw
away their bras and girdles.
Feels Coed
"I can't imagine a girl feeling
good wi'hout a bra ana girdle or
look1-' good either," she said.
"She would feel uncomfortable and
ill rt ease definitely not well
groomed.
"A man wants a woman Individ
ually attractive to him. He doesn't
wsnt others to stare at her because
she's improperly dressed."
But Oynthia, how about Mr.
Marinelli's statement that women
would be 1,000 times more feminine
without these undergown fashion
aids?
"Don't you believe It!" ssld Cyn
thia, a tall, slender blonde with
blue eyes.
"A girl just doesn't look attrac
tive if she doesn't wear her foun
dation garments. She looks untidy
definitely. And if she is on the
heavy side, she wobbles when she
walks."
Cynthia gave a blonde shudder of
Presbyterians To
Hear Official Of

The Rev. William F. Ehmann,
director of public relatione for the
San Francisco Theological semi

ch-irch of Roseburg at the two

lie will be guest minister for
the 11 o'clock morning service and
will show and explain colored slides
of the seminary during the evening
service at 7:30.
The theological seminary, a Pres
byterian institution located at San
Anselmo, ranks aa one of the "big
three" among the nine Presbyte
rian seminaries, according to Rev.
Mr. Ehmann. Purpose of his visit
here is to acquaint local persons
with the seminary and to ask for
aid in the institution's building pro
gram. Oregon Presbyterians will
be asked to finance cpnstruction of
a new dining hall.
This is one of the requests pooled
by the Presbyterian synod in asking
for establishment ol an Oregon
Presbyterian Churchmen's Educa
tion fund of $100,000 a year for the
next three years. The money will
be used to meet the needs of Lewis
and Clark college at Portland, help
finance the various foundationa and
provide adequate training facili
ties at the seminary. A similar ap
peal is being made to the 11 sup

Tiny Screw Will Pail
Through Eyt Of Needle
ELGIN, M.-WP)-The Elgin Na
tional Watch company put on dis
play here what it claims is the
smallest mass-produced screw in
the world so tiny it will pass
through the tye of a medium sued
needle.
The screws it takes 800,000 or
them to weish a pound were dis
played to members of the indus
trial college of the armed forces.
A company spokesman said "al
most impossible tolerances" within
one-millionth of an ounce were re
quired in manufacturing the amall
screws for fine watches and war
essential timing instruments.
distaste as she added:
"She is like a bowl full of quak
ing jelly. A girl should wesr her
girdle and bra everywhere except
at the uearh or in her own boudoir.
"I'd certainly hate to see a girl
wear a fashionable strapless eve
ning gown with nothing under
neath. She's be quite sloppy. And
men wouldn't like her. Men are
getting more and more and more
conscious of feminine styles
there have been such draxtle
changes. And they want their girls
to oe well groomed."
Cynthia said it was nonsense, too,
to think that foundation garments
had compressed all women into a
single standard ahape.
"Your modern day bras and
girdles don't change the figure to
that extent," she said sternly.
"They just control it. And they
come in hundreds of different
styles, shapes and sizes."
And then Cynthia gave her
clincher:
"Statistics show that 80 percent
of girls 15 years of age or over do
wear foundation garments. That's
four out of five."
I guess it must have been one of
the fifth girls, however, who wrote
me this anonymous letter:
"More power to this Marinelli
guyl Girdles? I detest 'em! So car
ry on the crusade."
Not me. I don't want to get

Cynthia and Marinelli. It's all right . acorns? Well, when they wear
with me if the girls wear chain
mail, so long as it keeps them
young and happy.
But do they look like a row of
those flat-footed ballet alippers, I
always rather thought they looked
more like a row of ducks, fugitive
from a barnyard.
State-Operated
Service Station
Protest Target
SALEM, April 21. (JPi One
hundred and twelve Salem service
station and garage operators made
a futile protest to the state board
of control Thursday against the
state operating its own service sta
tion for state cara and trucks.
They protested that it is "an
unjustified invasion of the state in
the field of private enterprise."
They said it doesn't savj the state
money, and they doubt if its legal.
The station was opened here
April 3, with the atate saving three
centa a gallon on gasoline.
State Treasurer Pearson, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, aaid
he agrees with the service station
operators.
But the other two members of
the board, both Republicans, fa
vored the state-owned station.
Secretary of State Newbry said
"We ought to keep it up and test
it out. It would be ridiculous to
close it now. That isn't competing I
