Tha spotlight flushed on American fuhtona last night with th atrongest light It ever hu focused on styles origin ated In the United States when the fashion group presented "Fashion Futures American Edition." The all-American theme was chosen for the two hour display In keeping Tlth the Use of America's achieve ments In fashion during the last 36 years. The brilliant pageant of coming xprlng fashions presented seven hun dred costumes with furs, Jewels and 'iccessorles worth a half million dol lars. One hundred of America's pret tiest mannequins paraded the out fits which varied aU the way from California play clothes and costumos lor air travel to negligees and formal evening gowns. Warm beige and sun lonea, blues In a wide nnd varied range, green, white and red held the color limelight. California play clothes stressed shorts and slacks of cotton, linen or rayon suiting worn with boi Jackets nnd halters or blouses of contrasting hue. Culottes (divided skirts) &oln dotted, cotton, dressmaker swim suits ind knee-length beach coats also were Miown. Traveling clothes featured slim wool I routes worn with straight furred top oaU, plain frocks accompanied by olald Jackets snd brown, green and mustard tweed suits. Crepe after noon frocks generally clung to the . Ilm fitted diaphragm and wete often worn with striking colored accessories uch as raffia embroidered Jacket Skirts and sleeves were short. Evening clothes were glamorous. decollette and full-skirted. Sheer chiffons, crisp nets and glistening satins 'In such hues as white, char' treuse, gray, wine rose and green topped with shimmering little Jackets embroidered with shells or sequins were outstanding. Zn line with predictions that cos- tume accents will be Important this spring, accessories drew a great deal of attention. Bold necklace of gold birds was worn with a dark blue wool resort frock and a splashing spray of simulated diamonds and emeralds colled at the neckline of a white dinner dress. , Bags were simple, large and el gant, always keyed in color to add a striking touch to the frock, a dark blue straw pouch of alligator slung slack over the shoulder to match the hue of a cartwheel hat. vivid green or lemon yellow gloves, toned to the hue of a scarf or hat appeared with sports frocks, snd thin wool or silk scarfs printed In striking designs were worn with suits. Jackets, slated for a place In the fashion sun this spring, appeared In every possible cut. The vogue for "crazy hats" was re fleeted In a display devoted entirely to such striking headgear as pancake berets worn at a fiO-degree angle, and eccentric straw shapes with col ored veil loops. Don 't Blush at Turkey; Carve It This Easy Way By JOAN DURHAM AP Feature Merries writer. Carting the turkey In eight easy stages la a major achievement for ih head of the household at this season of the year. It can be done with a little practice. Bdniond Sohunk. ehef at Vincent Astor'a St. Regis hotel In New YorK, lor Instance, has a very neat system Rut he recommends a couple of pre llmtnary flourishes. Place the bird on the table broad- Ids to the guests, he says, so tney can get an appetising preview. Here's How Von Do It. Then you pivot the bird a quarter lum so that It neck faces you, and proceed thus: Take one drumstick In your left hand. Holding the carving knife In your rlnht hand cut the cord that holds the drumsticks. Outllnn the leg with the tip of the knife, loosening and severing the leg and second Joint all In one piece. Lift the drumstick and separate this section from the carcass. Cut drumstick and second Joint apart at the Joint. Do the same by the other drum suck. Dislodge the wings If they haven't already been taken off and cut up with the neck and glbleta for use In the atufflng or gravy. Then, beginning at the base of the breast bone carve toward the wing, removing the meat in thin silvers. (Note: Don't try to split oft the meat by running the knife along the edge of the breast-bone. It you do you'll find yourself having to cut the choice- white meat up Into hunks.) For Taut Tempera. Only one American husband In fifty Is a carving enthusiast, ruddy faced Alsatian Schunk believes. Con sequently, he recommends that the other 40 have the turkey carved in the kitchen to lessen tha strain on taut tempore. For the man who enjoya carving, however, the proper setting should be provided. That Includes: A knife that Is razor sharp, A platter large enough to accom modate the severed pieces or an extra serving plate, A turkey that la large enough to go around. (A twelve or fifteen pound bird will be more than ample for a family of eight.) All tne carving should be done ( before anybody Is served o all the food will be kept as hot aa pos sible. The host may or may not enlist the ssslstancR of the guests at hts left or on his right In serving the giblets, cranberry sauce, gravy and other side dishes. FORTY CIVILIANS KILLED BY BOMBS Bombing Planes Reach Ob jective While Pursuit Craft Fight Off Defenders Art Gallery Damaged BHANOHAI, Not, 24. (AP)-Two Japanese bombing planes protected by pursuit craft dropped a score of projectiles today along the main thoroughfares of Nanking, killing 40 civilians. was the first time Japanese plfffrca had struck within Nanking's WHlls since September 3fl. The na tional art gallery was damaged In the bombardment. While the pursuit planes ongaged Chinese craft In a dogfight, the bombers' passed through anti-air craft fire to attack the Chinese emergency airfield between Nanking And Wuhu, a short distance up the rangm. The bombardment came as foreign sources confirmed reports tbat long awaited Russian-manufactured planes had arrived at the capital to bolster Chinese air forces. The Japanese raid was believed to have been an at tempt to smash the new craft quickly. Earlier today the 34 Americans and 38 other foreigners remaining In Nanking asked the Japanese to make their quarter a neutral zone to prevent possible destruction by bombs or shells. United States Am bassador Nelson T. Johnson sent a similar request to the Chinese government. Jnpancse authorities said they I favored the proposal In principle, i but added that there were military considerations which the army bed to take Into account. The two warring factions Issued conflicting communiques on the fighting along the Wuslh-Klangytn tine, some 100 miles east of Nanking. Japanese claimed steady progress. but Chinese said tbey were repulsing t tacks south of link Tal and pre venting attempts to land behind Chinese lines. They asserted 10 Jsp- anese launches attempting to cross the lake were sunk with the loss of 400 men. - . ... asaassaaaaaasssswaaaaailLj TO GERMANY (vent Brit ain's Vl.icount Halifax to confer with Nazi ministers and Adolf Hitler, reportedly on the Reich's demand for return of colonies. E REGISTI STARTS NEXT WEEK AT SO. OREGON NORMAL SOTJTFTFTRN ORECION STATE NOR MAL SCHOOL. Ashland, Nov. 34. (Spl,) Advance registration will be gin next week for the winter quar ter, which opens January 3, 1938, at the Southern Oregon State Nor mal School, for students to arrange schedules before the Christmas holi days. A complete list of courses for en tering students, both In the Junior col lego and teacher training curri cula, has been arranged, with par ticular emphaMs placed on a variety of Junior college offerings. Students who have had three quar ters of normal school training or Its equivalent In college or university work, may still graduate under the seven-quarter requirement by at tending the four quarters of 1PI1B. The lare number of calls tor teachers received this fall after the entire 1037 graduating class had been placed, and the decreased en rollmnit at tho normal schools, have led President Walter Red ford to conclude that the state Is facing a serious shortage of elementary touch ers, and that the graduates of lu;tH will bo able (o select their poult lona and demand higher salaries.

PAUL UP( Th first work men's compensation rate reductions In several years have been an nounced by A. W. Smith, supervisor of the division of accident preven tion of the state industrial commis sion. Reason for the rate reductions. Smith said, was the sharp decrease in Industrial accidents ever the past four years. Fatal Industrial accidents have been reduced by 31 per cent, he said. The figures are based on statistics employing man-hours of work. Smith said that while Minnesota's Industrial fs tall ties had been re duced In the nation at lsrge over the same period, there was a 6 per cent lncreaso. On all compensable accidents- .those for which time Is lost and payments are made to workersthe reduction In the same period was 13 per cent, also calculated on the man-hour oi work basis. There was an Increase In figures on a national scale for this category also, Smith said. There were but two reductions In the United States this year given to employers on workmen's compen sation rates. Minnesota received an 6 per cent reduction. Only other state so favored was Alabama, Smith said. Change in the types of Industrial accidents has occurred since 192W, Smith said. In 1920 the lsrgest sin gle Cause of accidents was construc tion work. A major factor In the reduction of construction accidents. Smith said, was the adoption some years ago of a new code which is now being re vised, and concentration of Inspec tion by the state staff on the larger and more dangerous Jobs. Closer check of Industrial plant operations, and the ordering of many new safeguards, also have contrib uted to reductions In mishaps. One Important phase, he said, was the check on elevators. Prior to 1031, when a new elevator Inspec tion system was Installed, there were 11 fatal elevator accidents In Min nesota in 18 months. Now there have been but four In the past two years, Smith said, and nine In the past five years. ,E.
