WORD By BARBARA BEAUFORT Fashion Editor Associated Press Feature Servica PARIS (AP) Tweeds are at the top of the clothes heap, dom inating daytime autumn styles. Fashion houses show wollen mixtures, of tweed type, for coats, suits and dresses, singly and in combination. When the material is not actually tweed weave it may be Jersey with a tweed pattern, so preoccupied with mixtures are the designers. - . Tweed coats, lined with fur, are to replace fur coats for sport to a large degree, apparently.. Nearly all the important designers show the-fur-lined topcoats as part of tweed ensembles of dress, anl seven-eighths or thres-quarter coat. Read the Classified Ads.

Mime una aaWiftinflX; OBIS NEW H ACROSS NT Driving from Lawrence, Mass achusetts, to California in a Dur ant "C6" sedan, Miss Marian Col lins rolled into ' San Francisco during the past week, claiming to be the first woman to drive one of the new four-speed Durant crea tions, on a trans-continental trip, according to word received to day by Hobart Shade of the Salem Auto company, local Durant deal ers from the western Durant fac tory. From her home In Massachu setts, Miss Collins drove to New York, thence to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and SL Louis. From St. Louis she went south to Memphis, then to Little Rock and Forth Smith, Arkansas: Tulsa, Oklahoma, and back up to Kansas City. She then drove across Kansas, and Colorado to Denver, south to Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Trinidad to Albuquerque and entered California over the SSnta Fe Trail. While in the southern part of the state, Miss Collins drove down the coast to San Diego and spent a few day at Coronado and Agua Callente. She then drove north over El Camino Real to San Fran cisco and will spend two weeks in the ' bay district before returning east by way of Portland. Seattle. Yellowstone Park, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago, South Bend, Toledo and Cleveland. When Durant factory officials commented on the extent of her Journey, Mlsa Collins remarked that It is nothing for a woman to drive across the continent alone. The modern motor car is so effl clent and the roads so good that the average woman Is just capable of driving a car from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back again as the average man. Claims totaling $1315.70 hare been paid to Statesman readers by the North American Accident In surance Co., in the past year. These claims were paid on the $1.00 policy Issued to Statesman subscribers. Tiny Wonian is Real Mysteries (Associated Press Feature Service wmerj 7 WASHINGTON, (AP) A quiet, inconspicuous little Wash ington woman writes such thiill Inr detectire stories that presi dents and other great men of the nation read them with Interest. She is Natalie Sumner Lincoln. She started Writing in 1912. Since then she has written 21 detective novels, all of which have been published. Most of them are still big sellers. Daytimes Miss Lincoln edits the Daughters of the American Revol ution magazine. At night she turns her imagination loose and her typewriter key keep p an incessant clatter as wily villains and keen sleuths race across the pages,. v ! President Wilson and J. Pier pont Morgan were among many prominent men who tured to Misa Lincoln's books for relaxation and diversion. They followed The Bine Car Mystery," The Moving Fingtr' and "The Nameless Man" into the late hours. I One would never take Miss Lin coln for a writer of hair-raising thrillers. She wears glasses. Her hair is parted in the middle and done up in a tight little knot in the back. But her eyes hold a gleam' of humor. Miss Lincoln had never done any writing before her first book, "The Trevor Case," in 1912. Slie wrote 78,000 words of that in three weeks. It found j immedi ate acceptance with a publisher. Her latest book. "The Fifth Latchkey." is bavins n b'g m'o Women are Interested In Aviation WICHITA, Kaa. (AP) Air. mindedness has become a reality of aeronautical study for women of Wichita, whose numerous air plane factories have made it a De troit of aviation. A class exclusively for women has been organized at a Wichita flying school. Housework and so ciety fill the day for these enthu siasts, so they're learning to fly by night. They study the mechanics of airplane engines before pilots teach them the art-of manipulat ing planes In mid-air. Evenings find stenographers, matrons and housewives on the job.
