o 10 'Fantastic' Describes Dress-Up Clothes Price Bv GAY PAULEY UPI Women'! Editor New York UPD - Jane Der by, the award-winning de signer, recently remarked that "price doesn't matter when a woman goes shopping If she wants a dress, she gets it, Mrs. Derby must be right if the price tags on some of the fall and winter dress-up clothes are any indication ol what Miss and Mrs. America plan to plunk down for new wardrobes Manufacturers showing their collections to buyers and re porters tell of costs which would deflate the banic ac count of a rajah. And when a manufacturer remarks that "that's nine ninety five" as a model walks through his showroom, he means $995, wholesale. Double the figure to get the approximate retail cost. Prices Going Up Some of the price quota tions floating around Seventh avenue are fantastic. For in stance: $475 wholesale for a white satin evening dress cov- ' ered from collar to hemline with scroll embroidery. The matching coat soars on up to $635 wholesale. Or, on up to $875 for a white satin, floor length eve- ning coat with a shawl col lar of fox. Still higher ... a black silk chiffon sheath em broidered over all the gold bugle beads, priced at $1,200 wholesale. Yet these prices are quoted as casually as If all of us owned oil wells. But the garment industry knows that somewhere in these United Slates there are women who can afford to pay $2,000 for a conversation stopping costume. It isn't cre ating these museum pieces to hang on racks. Fancy Fabrics The lavish evening clothes come high for two major reasons-fabrics have never been o luxurious, or trim so abund ant. Basic fabrics in evening clothes include brocades, silk damasks, sheer lames, satins, chiffons, peau de soles, and imported velvets. But the basic luxury isn't sufficient. Designers cover dresses in bugle beads, span gles, sequins and paillettes. All this paving adds to the price. Then, there are the furs used for trim. One manufac turer boasted that nine natu- ral fox skins went into the trim, of one evening coat, which wholesaled at $875. Costumes drip with costly mink, sable and fisher trim. The other news In evening ' fashions for fall is In the pre dominance of the skinny sil houette. There are still full skirted, grand occasion gowns. But the slim sheath, both short and floor length, dominates. In color, white and pastels outdo the richer jewel shades.

Cancer Society Reports Decrease In Death Rate By PATRICIA McCORMICK United Pren International New York -flJPIl- The death rate from uterine cancer in the United States has been "cut roughly in half in about a generation," the American Cancer society has reported. Uterine cancer is the second most common cause of death among women from cancer and last year took about 15,- 000 lives. In commenting on the prog ress in the fight against this type of cancer, the ACS, in its 1959 annual report, said: "There are about 175,000 women alive today who have been saved because of a grow ing awareness of the need for an annual checkup for pos sible uterine cancer." The ACS also said that "the techniques and plans for vir tually eliminating cervical cancer as a cause of death are at hand and that they must now be made operation al at an accelerated rate." Until recent years, the so ciety reported, the decline in deaths from uterine cancer was traceable to two factors: the program of education for women which the society has conducted since 1936 and im provement in treatment. The society added that wo men now have a "powerful new tool" against death from uterine cancer. Three years ago the society launched Its uterine cytology program based upon the de velopment by Dr. George N Papanicolaou, of Cornell Uni versity Medical college, of a method of distinguishing can cer cells from normal cells cast off In body fluids. At that time, the PAP smear technique became operational. Surveys demonstrated that the cell examination was ac curate, simple and effective. As a result of the field tests, the society pulled out all stops in its program aimed at making this life-saving pro cedure available to all adult women. In 1957, the society esti mates, three million women had the examination. This number climbed to almost six million In 1959. "Such gains," the society Mid. vshow that the exam ination Is becoming an estab lished health habit among American wom$ as routine part of a yearly medical checkup. - "At the existing level of attack, uterine cancer death rates can be exnected to fall bout three per5ht year," MEDFORD MAIL News Women Journalists Storm Men's Press Club Bastions By DICK WEST United Press International Washington - (UPD - Anyone who thinks the battle of the sexes ended with the ratifica tion of the 19th Amend ment is guilty of creeping es. trichism.

It was a chilling sound to peace-loving news papermen, who thought they had reached a "detente" with the opposite sex. Not wishing to be victims of another Pearl Harbor, the men quickly acquired a U-2, which the government for some reason had declared sur plus. Club Excludes Women An overflight produced in telligence indicating that the women were preparing to storm the bastions of the Na tional Press club, which is the last stronghold of male journalists in the capital. I should explain here that the club's policy of exclud ing women has long been a source of contention in the lo cal press corps. Female jour nalists have made repeated ef forts to break down the bars, claiming they were entitled to professional equality. There is a strong male sus picion, however, that the real reason they want to break down the bars is to get into the club bar. At one point, the women went off and formed their own club, but they have never been content with segrega tion. Now they are on the warpath again and the town is teeming with ink-stained Susan B. Anthonys. This time they are attack ing the tradition under which foreign bigwigs who come here on state visits make an appearance before the Nation al Press club. Men Relent Slightly Women correspondents con tend that they have a vested, or at least a sweatered, right to cover such proceedings, even though they are not members of the club. Club officials, on the other hand, insist that a private men's organization has no ob ligation to admit outsiders to any of its functions. How ever, they have relented to the point of permitting lady journalists to sit in the bal cony. I naively asked one lady journalist why she objected to this arrangement, which struck me as being a reason able compromise. I was lucky that she didn't strike me, too. Her group is vigorously lob bying for a new arrangement under which the press appear ances of visiting dignitaries would be handled by some co ed news organization. I have a hunch that the male ramparts might crumble before this assault. At any rate, it will be hard to resist. Some of those women work on the theory that the way to gather news is to rake it up with their fingernails.

LaPointe's MATERNITY PLAYSUIT COLLECTION Use of Easy Care Shirts Surveyed by m Corvallis-lmprovements in mens shirts are mamns easier to launder dress shirts at home, but surveys show homemakers are not taking advantage of these features. Miss Hildegardc btreuien, Oregon State college exten sion clothing specialist, says that three-fourths of the 84 million dress shirts manufac tured last year fell in the "easy care" class, yet only about half of these shirts were laundered at home. The rest were sent to commercial laun dries. "Easy-care" refers to cot tons treated with a special resin finish or a blend of two fabrics-cotton and a syn thetic. A good quality "easy care" shirt mav cost from $2 to S3 more than the same quality cotton broadcloth shirt. How ever, tests indicate that qual ity of these finishes is reduced after a few commercial laund erings. In home laundering, a homemakers ironing time is reduced from 15 to 2 minutes with "easy care" shirts. If a homemaker values her time at $1 an hour, she could real ize substantial savings in dol lars, hours and energy in laundering these shirts at home, the home economist points out. She is also able to enjoy these features for the life of the shirt if she followers manufacturer's directions on laundering temperatures, use of detergents and bleaches, and care she gives shirts dur ing laundering. In recent years, improve ments have been made in the construction of "easy care" shirts, which reduce ironing time and improve their fin ished appearance. Seams are now made with single rows of stitching instead of double rows; top facing in the center front of the shirt has been eliminated to reduce the un desirable puckering which ap- Calendar 8 p.m. - Crater Lake post and auxiliary, Veterans of Foreign Wars, VFW hall. 8 p.m. - Talisman Temple, Pythian Sisters, Pythian bldg.
