NEW YOR (AP) Television In
the laboratory today haa been put on
a par with the home movie,
(Thua, real television la drawing

.expect.
However, the time w,hen this same
quality can be obtained In the home

must be a unit aeparate from the

Maybe It's a year 'Sway, maybe not.
Buch la the Information relayed to
Mew York from the RCA-Vlctor re

where Dr, Vladimir Zworykln, wtrard
of television reproduction without
mechanical scanning, Is at work.
Testa now under way are reported
to have given unusual results. Trans
mission of a moving picture film has
resulted In surprising detail far
surpassing other types of experimen
tal television that can be seen out

Pictures of' boat races and the like
have been handled with as much
fidelity as they would be on the
home movie projector.
Living Hubjrrts Show Well
Living Images are said to have
come through as well If not better.
For Instance, lookers at a receiver
said they could see the powder fly
when a young woman fixed up her
face before the television camera.
Full lengtl "shots" even picked out
the eyelets on the shoes worn by the
person being televised.
A big share of this Improvement,
while still confined to the labora
tory, la the culmination of years of
which Is both practical and smart
for the school girl. Interesting
seamings and side pleats give a
grown-up smartness to the skirt,
while the tan llncne collar and
cuffs are particularly appropriate
for youngsters In the ten -to-fourteen
ages.

smart youngs tors wilt wear a
Jaunty outfit like the one at tho
right above. It Is of a new cotton
tweed In chevron weave. Made In
regulation trench coat styling, It
has ample pockets and adjustable
cuff bands. The fabric Is rubber

to use for stormy days in the fall

HUNDRED PIECES
FORM NEW FROCKS
PARIS (AP) Skirts of a hundred
pieces are the latest whimsy In the
mode for . the Jeune fllle. Dancing
frocks, designed with diagonal hip
lines, have fine accordion pleated
skirts, the fold of each pleat being
a separate' seam. The advantage of
the many pieces lies In the fact that
they prevent the pleating from losing
its lines.
WRIST WATCHES
MATCH THE FROCK
NEW YORK (AP) Wrist watches
to match the wearer's frock are the
newest wrinkle In Jewel accessories.
The cases of the new watches are
made of a colored opaque celluloid
substance, and the wristbands are
two matching silk cords. Emerald
greens, sapphire blues, wine reds,
black and white are among the most
popular colors seen.

"kinescope" by Dr. Zworykln.
Since the consolidation of tele
vision efforts at Camden, a year or
eo ago, Dr, Zworykln, who Is research
engineer In charge of television, has
had the assistance of R, D. Kell,

PARIS (AP) The short fur Jscket,
both pert and practical, will be a
favorite wrap In madame's wardrobe
this fall.
Reaching only to the waist or ex
' tending to the hlpllne In flared pep
lum effect, It Is warm enough to be
worn with snug wool street frocks
until snow falls.
The woman who dresses on a limit
ed allowance will find that Its abbre
viated cut provides a thrifty way to
salvage last winter's worn fur coat.
Astrakhan, galyak, seal and leop
ard are the favorite pelts for the short
fur Jackets. Virtually all of them are
designed with small roll collars or
scarf effects which fit closely about
rhe throat.
Sports models are generally de
signed along straight lines', but town
coats vary from those which end In
a snug fit at the belt to those flar
ing out at the hip bones.
Sleeves ore often puffed a bit at
the sho'.Uder line.
The Jackets, which are generally .
worn with a little tilted hat trim- ;
mod with a band of the same fur, !
may match or contrast in color with
the frock which accompanies them.
A brown astrakhan Jacket, design
ed with modified muttonleg sleeves
was worn with , a tobacco brown wool
dress at the recent fall style exhi
bitions. A waistlength leopard Jacket ac
companied a lapis lazuli blue frock,
while a little flared hipbone Jacket
of black galyak was worn with a gar
net red wool frock. Many manne
quins carried tiny barrel muffs of fur
to match their Jackets
Short Jackets of rough pebbly
weave wool also promise to be popu
lnr for early fall. These are designed
along lines similar to the, fur Jack
ets and generally match the frock
In color. '

Article XXIV American Furniture
America has not as yet developed
a atyle of furniture with lasting
qualities, though there have been
numerous attempts to break away
from French, Italian and English In
fluences, The early cabinet makera of Col
onial daya and those Immediately
following, did aome very lovely things
but most of these men had received
their training In England and loved
the stylos with which they had
grown up. They were truly crafts
men, who worked In wood because
they loved It. We prize today many
of these pieces and moreover, we al
ways will, for thoy have true artistic
lines and finish. ' '
There were of course some very
crude and unusual pieces of furni
ture fashioned by unskilled work
mon, simply bocause the home need
od another table or cupboard. Queer
makeshifts are often to be found In
such pieces and frequently hidden
drawers were cleverly fashioned as
safe hiding places for valuables.
The hlcktory furnlturo was popu
lar In aome localities but (bis too,
waa made by unskilled and untrain
ed hands. Some of this merely hap
pened to have good lines and these
pieces have survived by having been
oopled by designers In modern fac
tories for uss where sturdy rustic
effects are desired.
The furniture which waa made In
such quantities In this country from
1880 to 1900. often called Pullman
furrlture. was terrible. Usually done
In golden oak and finished with
plenty of varnish, it presented a de
cided contrast to the walnut of an
earlier day. Imitation carving was
done by pressure and the whole ef
fect was ornate and absolutely Im
possible of association with pieces
of an older and more artistic period.
Many of us can remember when love
ly mahogany and walnut pieces were
stored In the attic, while rooms wero
redone In golden oak. Oay tapestries
were used for upholstorlng and car
peta were gayer atlll with Immense
flower designs. Wall papers and
lithographs had their Innings too,
and the entire ensemble was almost
as difficult to live with as the so
called modern erase.
Then came the mission furniture,
willow was turned out alike by fac
tories and manual training depart
menta of the public schools. Us
ually made of 4x4i and planks, It
was heavy, unwieldy and varnished
heavily.
During the past few years we have
had another Invasion, which has
been much worse because of the aw
ful noise which It ,has made. The
designers have needed no training at

Bruce Oould once wrote one, too,
in "Man's Estate." Somehow, It
seems that plays are always being
written about the problem, yet it
remains as difficult for two young
lovers to become one as ever.
Plans Awry.
The Oolden-Stange plot offers
Donald Meek an excellent opportu
nity for his acting abilities as a
hen-pecked, poverty stricken insur
ance salesman.
It Is hla daughter, who Malls in
love with a Juvenile office clerk,
and for four years they save every
penny towards their marriage fund.
Just as the marriage is about to
take placo the mother elopos with
her star boarder. This breaking up
of his home downs the insurance
salesman with a paralytic stroke,
and the young couple's marriage
fund must go towards his hospital
expenses.
There is something more important
than the young lovers In "After To
morrow." It is the wife, clamped
like a galley slave to her mean do
mestic duties, yet frantlo to claim
some romance from the Inst ves
tiges of what once must have been
extraordinary beauty.
Out of the Rut.
Her husband has resigned him
self to a rut, but not she.
Nobility and unselfishness may be
grand, but for this woman there has
been a yoke upon her neck too long
for her to consider Ideals.
Meek is an always dependable ac
tor, and he has able support in Bar
bara Robblns and Row Alexander.
As a play. "After Tomorrow" must
rank with "Saturday's Children" and
It should remain on Broadway about
as long.

FOODS FIND'

There Is much truth in the French
culinary viewpoint that food tastes
best when It looks most appetizing.
Particularly at this season of the
year food that Is tastefully as well
as tastily prepared helps a great deal
, td intrigue jaded warm-weather ap
'netites: It is easy and Inexpensive to add
the desired note of attractiveness to
cummer meals. The abundance of
fresh vegetables and fruits at this
season presents colorful Ingredients
galore; and canned vegetables and
fruits are excellent substitutes for
the fresh varieties.-.
Moreover, warm weather is the time
for comparatively light meals In
which zestful, colorful salads and
desserts are a cool and welcome
change from heavier fare.
' On a warm day for luncheon or
for dinner no dish is more appetiz
ing and enjoyable than a flavored
gelatin salad, made in Individual
molds from a large choice of Inter
esting recipes, and served cool and
colorful and dainty on crisp lettuce.
Gelatin desserts, ln individual
molds too, are just as tempting and
ib freshing as the saladB proof posi

through the eye as well as through
the palate. . N
The following recipe is especially
tasty and tasteful these warm days.
