RKO Designer
Turns Drastic
In Dress Plans
HOLLYWOOD, Jan, 3 1. -oTV
Qne.of Hollywood's foremost de
signers, the comely, curvacious
R e n i e, predicts that American
women are going to wear evening
gowns with exposed bosoms.
The young, auburn-tressed RKO
designer admits that she may be
a few years ahead of her time,
but
"Just remember," she told
newsmen, "that women in the
days of the Roman empire wore a
transparent material known as
coan silk across their bosom, and
in Persian Enamelware we see
women with one breast exposed
- - so there is a historical prece
dent for the type of gown I think
will be worn in the 'not too-distant
future."
Extremely feminine clothes are
the style trend, says Renie, and
she looks for emphasis on curves.
"Why not?" she asks. "I predict,
for cocktail and evening clothes, a
transparent covering for the bos
om, and, in some instance, com
plete exposure."
Loan Executive Ailviaea
Kent Control Extension
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31 -(A)
Morton Bod fish of Chicago, exe
cutive vice president of the Unit
ed States Savings and Loan
league, said today congress could
wisely extend rent controls for
another 12 months.
But he told the house banking
committee that the pending bill
by Rep. Patman (D-Tex) pro
posing strict price controls on
sales of all housing might "deter
rather than stimulate the: build
ing of new houses and the pur
chase of an existing house."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-(P)-l
Scornfully, little Lady Astor ad
vised Britain's critics today not
to "hit a man when he is down."
"What's Great Britain's crime?"
she snapped at a news conference
when asked to comment on critic
ism of the projected $3,750,000,
000 loan to Britain. ; "They (the
critics) better get down on their
knees and thank God there was
a Britain."
"And," she added, "it's not the
English way to hit a man when
he is down.' Nor America's."
Then the first woman member
of the house of commons i turned
the Astorian asperity on a num
ber of other subjects, to wit:
Occupation "If I had my
way, I would send a salvation
army to Europe with bibles trans
lated in all the languages."
The press "I don't believe -in
it. The conscience of the people
is much more powerful in bring
ing about reforms." (Incidentally
Lady As tor's husband Is a pub
lisher).
German women "One east end
woman in London with her ade
noids and all, has more guts than
all the German women."
Anglo-American relations "The
best way for the world ; to get
peace is for the U. S. and Britain.
to cooperate. We understand free
dom better than the rest."

Usual Zig-Zag
Course of Rye
Paces Market
CHICAGO, Jan. 31 '-(JR- The
customary zig-zag course of May
rye ran wider than usual today
but finished as 3 cents higher
than yesterday's final quotation
after frequent sharp setbacks.
The only grain delivery in any
of the pits unrestricted by a gov-
ernmen-fixed ceiling, it again
attracted most of the speculative
interest, although a moderate
volume of oats lso changed
hands in a fairly active trade.
With all wheat, corn, barley
and alf deferred deliveries of rye
frozen at their ceilings, few of
ferings to sell any of them were
forthcoming. Some brokers ex
pressed belief that wheat trans
actions might have been even less
than the 177,000 bushels sold yes
terday and which some observ
ers thought was the smallest vol
ume for one day on record.
Wheat, corn and barley closed
again at top allowable prices of
11.80V, $1.18Vi and $1,224, re
spectively; rye unchanged to 3
cents up, May $2.10-2.11; oats
unchanged to up, May 81 cent

Vandals Overturn
Willson Marker
A marble monument which
marks the grave of Dr. W. H.
Willson, donor of Willson paTk,
has been overturned in the Odd
Fellows cemetery. No other van
dalism has been discovered there.
Riverside's six-rib tread actually squeexes the water out from under
its path . . . forcing it into the grooves of the tread, out of contact
with the road-surface! (You can th semi -dry imprint of the
tread of a Riverside Tire, long after the car has passed down the
street I) That is one reason why Riversides stop faster. You see, it's
the wt of the pavement that causes the! skids. Eliminate the
water, and your car afops. Thafa why, if you're ridinj on River
aides you can feel safer you get real protection against skidding!
EVERY PLY IS 12 STRONGER
Riversides are now actually stronger than our pre-war tires! Here's
why; stronger cords to be fin with, are diemically-strengtheaed
to ofay strong . . . then liquid-dipped "welded together . . . next,
cushioned in rubber! Finally, the plies are cemented before vulca
nizing, to provide greater protection against bruises and blowouts!
MldDFJITCEdDMIEMW WAIEE)
the cemetery's management said
Thursday, but work of re-erecting
the five-stone Willson marker will
be considerable.
Dr. Willson is credited with hav
ing laid out the capital city and
with having saved it from carry
ing the name "Cbemeketa." He
suggested that the biblical name
"Salem" carried the same mean
ing (city of peace) and would be
easier to pronounce.
