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"

The dress fabrics: sheer
wools, worsteds, silks in crepe

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.
Special Saturday classes, co-
sponsored by Dallas college
of Southern Methodist univer
sity, expose the youngsters to
paintings, artifacts, prints,
and sculpture.
"The aim is to make the
children go to work with
paint brushes, crayons or clay
and produce work of their
own," said Mary Doyle, the
program director.
She said the program also
tries to stimulate family par
ticipation in art projects, and
later will include art appre
ciation classes for adults.

Gardeners
Announce
Display
Central Point - Winter
floral arrangements of beauty
and interest, so much in de
mand during winter months
when most flowers are not
in bloom, should have the ma
terial prepared for them
now, experts say. The Cen
tral Point Garden club has
prepared a display and a
demonstration for anyone in
terested in winter bouquets.
Some of the arrangements
are on display in the local
library window.
A p u b lie demonstration
Wednesday, July 27, at 2
p.m. in the library will show
the many methods used in
preserving flowers and plants
for use. Arranged around the
room during the demonstra
tion will be 18 by 21 inch
display sheets showing plants
the club has found suitable
for use. Arrangements will
also be displayed. The demon
strations will be done by Mrs.
Randall Kay, Mrs. Ivan Skyr
man, and Mrs. Lester Gorden.
Notebooks should be brought
for taking down methods and
information. If a large enough
group is interested, a work
shop will be held in early Oc
tober, with participants to
bring their own materials.
A display in the library of
wild flowers was also furnish
ed by the garden club. The
book on display was made by
Mrs. Skyrman and Mrs. Kay
and won first award at the
June convention of the Ore
gon Federation of Garden
clubs in Pendleton.

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.

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.

Sugar Cookies
A good sugar cooklo is wa
fer thin, delicately browned

the dough and cutting each
cookie, try dropping the
dough by rounded teaspoon
fuls on a lightly greased bak
ing sheet. Grease the bottom
of a glass, dip the glass In
sugar and flatten each cookie
as thin as possible. Preheat
tho oven to 400 degrees be
fore starting to bake. This
keeps the shortening from
melting and Beeping out nf
the cookie. Buko only 10 min
utes. It Is possible to tell hard
boiled eggs from raw eggs by
spinning them on a table. The
uncooked egg will not spin.
The hard-cooked one will.
