MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, ORE. TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1000 Fall Clothing Both Plain, Fancy By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Prti International : New York - IUPD - American designers are serving up a smorgasbord of dresses for fall fashion fare. Collections being shown during the New York couture group's National Press week, which opened yesterday, range from plain to fancy, ; A revival of the Princess line and a repeat strong show ing of the sheath add up to the plain front. The fancy dresses for late afternoon and after-dark sparkle - some times like Fourth of July fire works. The effect is achieved by over-all beading. , i 1 In between the plain and fancy are dresses with long torso, with collars slightly away from the neck -or col larloss. Sleeves are either set in, winged or funnelled to the el bow. There's a lot of the two piece dress with relaxed -waistline. Instead of conven tional belts, many of the de signers have switched to the cash - often fringed. The costume look abounds. Jackets over sheaths are waist -skimming with open necklines. Some costumes fea ture double-breasted dresses and jackets. Skirts "Animated" Skirtji niv urhnt th ripcipn. ers call animated. They are narrow below rounded hips and have gentle tucks or pleats at the waist The dress fabrics: sheer wools, worsteds, silks in crepe weaves, alpaca, ribbed wools, knits, flat-knit jerseys, wool and orlon and other blends. On the after-five side, fab rics are brocades, tapestries, satin-ottoman ribbed, peau d 'ange, duppioni satin, jac- 0 New York - Rudolf does a dinner suit in gleaming black brocade, collaring the brief jacket luxuriously with ranch mm, ine imea jacicei. wnn cropped sleeres and tab-but-loned closing at the waist, lops a slim sheath with broad shoulder straps.

Grey flannel is strong again on the color front, but black is dominant. Making their de but are families of deepened reds, spruce green, smoke blue, deepened browns, and a whole vineyard of grape and plum shades. Highlights of collections shown yesterday: "Total Look" Suits Adele Simpson advocates the "total look" for fall. That is, coats as companions for two-piece dresses, one - piece dresses or suits. Typical was a deep purple bulky wool coat over a lilac jersey dress; a leopard fur coat, with red jersey lining, over red jersey dress. Many Simpson suits came with coordinated overblouse; others had a gambler's vest or cowboy shirt under the jacket. Like everyone else on Seventh Avenue-the garment district's main street - the designer showed a lot of jeweling over all for evening. She calls these - "dresses with their own illumination. Her fur touches on suits and costume have the spotted - leopard -look. Maurice Rentner shows quite a lot of girl in his basic black dresses for after five. But the news at the Rentner house is bulky baggy topping, blousing at waist or hipline for daytime. The sweat-shirt- looking topping is stitched to a straight skirt. Rentner also goes in big for the beaded look in cocktail hour and much later dresses. It's beading fore and aft and from top to bottom. Monte Sano and Pruzan, once strictly a coat and suit firm, now gets into dresses and evening apparel, too. The designer for the firm is a young Frenchman named Jacques Tiffeau - and he's taken with purple. This abounds in the collection. He shortens the suit sleeves to or just below the elbow. He shows lots of back interest -with wide, set-in belts riding low on coats and suits. In the collection there also were fur-lined wool coats, re versible. One was black French seal inside and beige fleck tweed outside. Some of his wool coats are lavishly collared with furs. One clutch coat has a stone marten col lar that reaches to 'the end of shoulders. The firm also repeatedly showed the chemise dress, un belted, not hugging the hip but not very loose over same either. One long formal in pale blue - green was pure sack. Rudolf gowns, a strictly cocktail and evening wear house, like many other firms showed various shades of pur ple. Many frocks have the elongated waist or long torso look. One is a matte jersey top with silk peau de soie skirt. The mixture is repeated throughout the collection with full and slim skirts. Dailas Museum Has Art Classes For Young Children Dallas, Tex. flJPD - The Dal las Museum of Fine Arts is pioneering a program to in spire children from six to 14 to try their hands at creating.

She said the program also tries to stimulate family par ticipation in art projects, and later will include art appre ciation classes for adults. see LaPointe's MATERNITY PLAYSUIT COLLECTION New York - Capturing the air of the Thirties, Monte- Sano and Pruian presents a clutch coat of bitter-sweet wool, lavishly collared with stone marten.

Polls Versus Elections Topic for Club Speaker Some statistician believe that elections ns neld In the United States are old-fashion ed and could be supplanted with a type of poll which would be more rapid, less ex pensive and more accurate. Dr, Kenneth Baker, speak ing yesterday noon at the Red Cross building for the July meeting of Jackson county unit, Oregon Federation of Women's Republican clubs, stated that some statistical ex perts believe that a scientific, representative poll of as little as 6,000 votes would give more accurate results than a national election as now con ducted in the United States. Pianist To Play At Convention Miss Sonja Peterson, a Med ford pianist, has been selected to represent Oregon in t h e president s invitational recital for the annual convention of the western division, Music Teachers National association.

Family Here From Nebraska Dr. and Mrs. Louis Dickin son and son, Louis III, Mc Cook, Neb., were guests last week of Mrs. Dickinson's brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Peterson, Jack sonville highway. This was the first time the Dickinsons had traveled to the far West. The Dickinson's son is a medical student at Columbia university where he enrolled following graduation from Harvard university. The Peterson's daughter, Miss Sonja Peterson, who Is spending the summer In Sa lem, spent the week end at home here In order to be with the visitors. She was gradu ated from Willamette univer sity In June, taking a degree in music, and will continue her studies tills fall, He explained briefly how these polls hnvo been develop ed, tested and proven Dr. Baker begun his talk by quoting Thomas Jefferson's statement that a majority of the people will make fewer mistakes In government than any elected or appointed rep resentative. Unless one agrees with this premise, then It Is useless to consider the gath ering of public opinion through polls, Dr. Baker stud. The speaker, a former uni versity professor and now vice-president of California- Oregon Television, said since the working of a pure democ racy Is too cumbersome for large groups, nations use the system of elected representa tives. This then leads to the problem of whether an Indi vidual when elected Is free to vote according to his own be liefs or findings, or must he always defer to the constitu ency. -If the latter, how Is the rcpresentataive to determine what his constituency wants? Arguments Endless Which course is better leads to endless argument, the speaker said and added that "the closer we get to autonom ous government, the further we get from majority rule." Pointing up some of the complexities of government by majority, Dr. Barker said that many believe the people can not be trusted to make de cisions since they are not fully informed. Elected rep resentatives, who study and read widely on some phase of government or some problem become discouraged when they find their tact-gathering is at variance with the wishes of the people, he pointed out. Dr. Baker said some coun tries of the world can now make decisions more rapidly than this government and ask ed, "Can we afford the lux ury of endless debate to find out the views of the people?" He said that In order to cope with international problems, the opinion of the people must be ascertained in a short time, and that many leaders believe this nation must find some new means of determining such public opinion. Those who object to polls to determine public opinion do not believe In the accuracy of "sampling," he explained, and then added that our elec tions are actually only samp les since only a portion of the citizens vote. He mention some of the factors which affect election results, such as a rain on election day, and said that since opinion polls takes the election to the voter, instead of the voter going to the polling places, cross sec tion samples actually are more accurate and more sci entific. This system does not take the vote from the people, as the objectors state, but really takes it to the people, Dr. Baker said. Polls Accurate An accurate, cross-section system of determining public opinion or electing officials could give trie decision-making function back to the peo ple, Dr. Baker concluded. Using a bowl of colored beads, Dr. Baker demonstrat ed that after a certain level of counting has been reached, the ratio of colors "levels off" and that no matter how long the counting continues, the percentage remain the same. "Statisticians don't have to worry about the size of the 'universe to be polled' but only about the size of the samples," he explained. Dr. Baker answered ques tions following his talk, and said that on some matters, the cross-section to be polled might have to be educated In advance in order for the re sult to be useful. Mrs. Frank Bash, club pres ident, conducted the meeting. Mrs. Roy Rickard read a hu morous "letter" about the recent Democratic national convention. Mrs. E. A. Llt trell made an appeal for workers, saying volunteers should phone Republican headquarters. Mrs. Lester Ad ams asked for volunteers to promote the campaign of Dr. Edwin R. Durno, candidate for the United Stale senate. Leaves Mrs. Arthur West left last Friday for her home in San Jose, Calif., after a visit here with her mother, Mrs. Flor ence Boussum, 720 Welch street.
