Many aie the changes rung on the
popular two-piece frock. The fact
that it has been adapted to both
sports and formal wear foretells its
appearance in a number of different
fabiics and styles and may thus pro-
long it \ogue.
An attractive model is pictured
here for semi-formal wear. The
finger-tip length blouse is fashioned
of a colorful printed crepe with a
vest of tucked georgette and a lace
frill which forms a high collar.
Xavy blue flat crepe forms the
skat which is edged with the color-
ful jumper material and is used
in narrow bands on the sleeves
round the low cut neck down the
float and lapping the pockets.
A miart little hat which is a
combination of crochet straw and
navy blue grosgram ribbon is worn
with thi frock.
This combination of a solid color
and a gay print is exemplified in
a number of new models. Two
crepe de chine frocks that were
ve:. effective in this combination
are an ombre printed jumper with a
skiit pleated in three sections and
finished with a border of the jump-
er material. Another was a gay
mauve crepe de chine with hard
blocked floral design ornamenting
the jumper and straying down on
the finely pleated skirt of plain ma-
terial.
In the sports type of jumper
frocks seitn at the popular Euro-
pean soring resort Biarritz stripes
are popular. One well known
Ameiical g :j had a series of long
jersey jumpers in natural color
with narrow slightly zigzag stripes
running across horizontally leav-
ing the - k eve? plain. The skirt
fashioned with half-inch box pleats
was sewed with three or four rows
of chain-stitch about an inch apart
just around the hips giving the ef-
fect of a yoke. This . chainstitch
was done with artificial silk and
r.nt 'led the stripes of the jersey
with whic-h it was worn.
!n these costumes the stripe -
come in dark led grass green and
blue generally worn with a plain
jersey cardigan jacket over the
jumper to match the stripe- and
either a oelge felt' hat or one colored
to match the jacket.

SPUD EXPERTS
ARE TO SPEAK
Potato Demonstration
Is Scheduled For
Thursday
Several potato experts will be on
the program at a potato demonstra-
tion postponed from last Thursday
until Thursday May 13. at which
time potatoes will he dug on the
j .Mitchell Orr farm at Los Fresnos.
The demonstration will start at 2
o'clock.
Dr. Taubenhaus of the Teras ex-
pel intent station will speak on po-
tato diseases. He not only has found
the cause of the potato scah in the
Eagle Lake secton. but also told the
growers what to do.
Paul R. Dye secretary for the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Potato
Growers Association ' will speak on
“Potato Marketing.” Fred ltosen-
koetter of Los Fresnos is to tell his
method of growing potatoes. F. B.
Latham of El Jardin will discuss the
result of his use of fertilizers on po-
tatoes.

added. The improvised transporta-
tion services were steadily expand-
ing and the measures of protection
for the volunteers had proved ef-
ficacious.
Much interest is being displayed in
the activities of the various labor
leaders and especially in a general
meeting of these men scheduled for
tomorrow at which it is reported a
formula for ending the trouble will
be discussed.
Notwithstanding the government’s
action in commandeering the news
print supply not in the hands of
publishers the Daily ?*iall brought
out its first London edition this
j morning.
In its leading article the paper sug-
gests that “as it is not denied bv
anyone that the gentraj strike is il-
| legal." the trades union congress has
no legal sanction its orders arc con-
trary to the law and it should be dis-
-olved. The Mail also urges that the
‘500 soviet agents in Great Britain"
le deported.
Strikers Become Ritter
While there have been no grant ©nt-
breaks of disorder some bitterness is
being evinced by the strikers who
resent the militaristic churn-ter of
the government’s precautions and
what they deem a needless display of
ipecial constables.
Manchester threatens to become the
center of trouble in consequence of
th- strike of the men in the flour
mills.
Difficulties are being encountered
n London in moving meat from the
great central market at Smithfiok]
owing to alleged intimidation on the
part of the strikers. The board of
trade has approved the Smithfield
emergency organization’s plans to
throw a cordon of police around the
entire market district.
The government today in addition
to pointing to an improvement in the
public utilities services referred to
the increased and increasing travel-
ing accommodations both local and
long distance and the maintenance of
tood. light and power supplies. It
laid emphasis on the fact that pub-
lic order with few exceptions had
not been disturbed.
( (aims Ranks Increase
The trades union congress on be-
half of the- strikers pointed out that
their men were avoiding excesses
ami declared that the ranks of the
strikers were ever increasing by the
addition of many men who were quit-
ting work out of sympathy for the
movement. In a statement the gen-
eral council of the congress said that
the behavior of strikers during the
first week of the stoppage was a
great example to the whole world.
There still was nothing today to
indicate whether labor’s “second line
of defense” was to be called out.
The general strike is illegal Jus-
tice Astbury declared in the chancery
division today and those inciting it
or participating in it are not pro-
tected under the laws regulating the
trades unions.
His opinion the first handed down
from a judicial bench since the
strike began was made in granting
an injunction against certain branch
leaders of the sailors and firemens
union. The injunction restrains the
branch leaders from calling out their
men without orders from general
headquarters of the union.

NKW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK. N. Y„ May 11.—Ad-
vances in the nrtton market yester-
day were followed by reactions in
today’s early trading. Liverpool
made a full response to the local
gains of Monday.
Private cables said the strike
situation was improving but local
traders seemed to be rather more
favorably impressed by the early
weather news and were evidently
disposed to take profits on yester-
day's purchases.
The opening was steady at an ad-
vance of four points to a decline of
8 points. Active months showed net
losses of 7 to 15 points before the
end of the first hour. July selling
off to 18.52 and December to 17.C4.
With the outlook for clearing
weather; in the southwest and show-
ers in the eastern belt considered
favorable the decline extended to
18.42 for July and 17.58 for Decem-
ber or about 17 to 20 points net
lower. Prices were within 2 or 3
points of these figures at mid-day
with the market comparatively quiet*
Afternoon tiauing was less active
but prices ruled steadier on cover-
ing and rebuying by some of the
early sellers. There were rallies of
sixor seven points front the lowest
July ruling around 18.48 and Decem-
ber 17.03 at 2 o'clock or about 10 to
15 pointk net lower.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS La. May 11.—Al-
though Liverpool was better than
due. the cotton market here opened
easier on selling based on rains in
tbe eastern belt and reports of clear-
ing weather in the west. First
tmdes showed losses of 3 to 6 points.
July traded down to 17.80 October
to 17.14 and December to 17.24 c.r 13
to 15 points below yesterday’s close.
At the close of the first .hour the
market was steady at the lows.
The market continued to ease off
duting the morning owing to favor-
able weather conditions. The fore-
cast for fear weather in the western
and central portions of the belt was
regarded as a bearish influence.
July traded down to 17.75 October to
17.10 and December to 17.1'J or 18 to
20 noints below yesterday’s close. At
these levels there appeared to be
some demand and prices were steadi-
er near mid-session and one to four
points above the lows.
The market ruled steadier after]
mid-session although prices remain-1
cd within the earlier range. There j
was more demand fiom the trade and j
as strike news was more favorable
prices gradually tallied going within
8 to 10 points of yesterday’s close
with the general undertone firmer j
