Fashion Decrees Still Longer Skirts! ' - By Diana Merwln (Associated Press Fashion Editor) PARIS W) "Longer skirts" Is tho latest fashion cry. The daytime frocks and suits ex hibited at the last style collections displayed skirts from two to threo Inches longer than early spring mod els, putting knees completely out of sight. The fashionable woman this sum mer will wear her luncheon and shop ping frocks 111 Inches from tho ground, while formal afternoon gowns have dropped to six Inches from the floor. Only two exceptions to the new edict mark the mode. Sport skirts are worn no longer than four Inches be low, the kneo and Informal dinner and evoulng frocks germinate at the ankles. The ankle length frock for restau rant dining Is one of the favorite fashions these days, although formal evening gowns miss .the floor by less than an luch. With the rule for longer skirts has come a tendency to accented hem lines. Many daytime suits and frocks have horns scalloped, pinked, plcoted or faced undernoarth with a color lighter than the frock. A favorite evening elogance is the transparent hem. Frocks of lace, net or filmy chiffon are worn over kneelcttgth slips or different colored combinations ending In trousered shorts, permitting ankles and slippers to be at least partially revealed. The transparent hem - vogue . has produced more colorful and Interest ing designs in evening slippers, one of tlie newest being a toeless sandal worn without stockings. - I.F.Vl'HKK BRACELETS WITH ItlUINU TOGS WASHINGTON W Members of tlie young smart set aro wearing leather bracelets with their short sleeved polo costumes.

HAPPY MARRIAGE BEST CAREER, ACTRESS SAYS AFTER FAILURE Ilv He MeKamara WASHINGTON ( Marriage that Is, a happy marriage still Is tho Ideal existence for a woman, In the opinion of Blanche Sweet, slim, serious, blue-eyed oiond "veteran" of the screen. Though In the Hollywood atmos phere nearly 20 years she entered pictures when she was 13 and now gives her age as 32 the girl who brought Anna Christie to the screen has had only one marriage. But the years .when she was Mrs. Marshall Nollan, wife of a motion picture director, meant more to h.er, she .candidly admits, than her ca reer on either stage or screen. In a playlet which lasts 20 min utes she is having her first taste of facing an audience In person .in stead of through the camera. Her 71 -year-old grandmother, Mrs., Blanche Alexander, Is traveling with hor and apparently eujoylug tho, novelty.

"Appeals for financial aid have reached the agriculture department from North Dakota and Montana. Reopening of drouth loans was asked In Phillips and Valley counties, Mont ana. nd Mountrail county, North Dakota. "Grops were reported to be facing complete ruin aud farmers In a seri ous plight. The department replied there was no authority for reopening the loans inasmuch as the season for : planting crops had passed. It also has pointed out that crop de struction by the drouth had removed government security for loans. "Recent rains In the Red River vat ley of North and South Dakota gave needed relief in a limited area, .but wheat In other sections of the North west, with the exception of Western Oregon and Washington, was said by the weather bureau to have suffered 'considerable .damage.' , "Wisconsin had 50 per cent of nor mal rainfall this spring as compared with 83 last spring; Minnesota, 70 against 68; North Dakota 61 against 81; Montana 76 against J4; Idaho 87 against 109, and South Dakota. 62 against 00. No figures were available for the eastern districts of Oregon and Washington where it was re ported 'distinctly dry'." Itn.il mill Jtelow Korinal Referring to the above dispatch from Washington, tlie local weather checking station reports that May and June rain so far is still much below normal. Usually In June the average Is about an Inch and a half, and at present only .66 of an Inch ha been measured, with little likeli hood that more will come unless It occurs during tlie present ''storm wave The precipitation in ut Grande for May was about an inch pr more below normal.

"But people change so even after they are married. Each develops new tastes, new Interests. I tried to make a success of my marriage we both did but It failed. "Bvjt othqr marriages fall, even when the wife is not having a ca reer," she said. "I guess marriage ought to bo taken more seriously Just mado the one big ultimate thing that people don't contract until they are very, very suro pf themselves and each other."
