Visit of Duchess
to Have Effect
on Fall Styles
"Wally" to Bring Many New Depar
tures in Gowns for the Season,
According to Report.
Ramparts are Dividing Line
Workers Live Close In
PARIS, Oct. 6. (UP) Arbiters of
Paris fash'ons predicted today that
the Duches of Windsor's visit to the
United States would cause a nation
wide drop in waist lines and bring
forward shimmering black as the key
note of all fashionable gatherings foi
months to come.
News of the Duchess's intended vis
it came in the midst of the autumn
fashion season. It provoked hurried
conclaves in back rooms of ccores
of dressmaking houses and rulers of
the fashion world agreed that they
had to revise their plans at once.
It has been agreed that the Duch
ess's choice of black as the predomin
ating note in her clothes, and her
weakness for sequins, would have a
bearing on w'nter fashions. But it
was felt that a visit by the Duchess
to the United States would give her
ideas currency all through the country.
For that reason dress makers are
sharpening their scissors and evasing
fines on their designing boards to
confirm i with dhoices which , the
Duchess has made in her current shop
ping tour.
With boleros and shor t jackets
featured in the current fashion pict
ure, the Duchess turned to new sleek
line and straight cut frocks with
normal waist line in front and drop
ped in corselet manner at the back to
accent the hip line.
Chic black ensembles for street
and afternoon wear are her choice for
day time, designed on fitted Iir.es
with straight skirts and interesting
detail.
'American women who follow the
Duchess's lead will wear evening
gowns with sparkling sequin and bead
trim, and in line will nuopt her choice
cf classic design with floor length
skirt3 ar.d moderately low cut square
neck lines.
Tulle, lame and satiny broadcloth
are included in the luxurious fabrics
being made into evening gowns fo;; the
Duchess. Her che'ee of unadorned
black velvet may rank among the
smartest of evening materials
Despite novelties offered in Paris
collections for dinner wear, the Duch
ess clings to the classic dinner dress
with high neck line and full length
sleeves, and for length has chosen
gowns just to the ankles.
Sports cloths of the Duchcrs's choice
are novelty woolens in deep browns
and reds of casual type that are easy
to wear and are without eccentricity
of design.
The Duchess's huts, depai-ting from
the off-the-f ace design she favored iv.
her trousseau, will follow the direct
oire halo line, rising high off the fore
head. Crocodile shoes and matching bags
are favorite accessories of the Duchess
for day time costumes and she has
ordered several pairs in brown, blue
and black to match her new ensembles.
For street wear the Duchess will
wear four-eyelet tailored crocodile
oxfords in colid or contrasting shades.
Black fish skm is a novelty fabric
chosen by the Duchess for afternoon
footwear, for which she clings to tail
ored, untrimmed pumps with extrem
ely high heels. Other day time shoes
are pumps in navy and black kjd.

Illinois Builds
Pageant Upon
incoms Lite
Rise in State Politics to Be Cele
bration Theme in Spring-field
5-Day Celebration.
By RAYMOND L.AIIR
United Press Staff Correspondent
SPRINGFIELD. 111. (UP) One
hundred years ago a young lawyer in
the Illinois legislature executed .a
series of adroit maneuvers and push
throusrh abill to move the state
capital from Vandalia to Springfield.
The youthful legislator, a lanky,
2S-year-old attorney who practiced
law in New Salem,, was Abraham
Lincoln.
Springfield will commemorate his
action and not the passing of a cen
tury since it became the state capital
in a five-day centennial celebration
The centennial program will in
clude a series of pageants, one de
picting the life of Lincoln, another
portraying the history f the city,
and one showing the city's spiritual
development.
The Lincoln drama will open with
a prologue in Kentucky showing the
marriage of Thomas Lincoln to
Nancy Hanks. Events of their son's
life then will be portrayed with his
ill-fated courtship of Ann Rutledge
and his election to the state legisla
ture. Pageant Through Years
Other scenes show him moving .to
Springfield, making Mary Todd in
1842, and his action on the night of
his election to the presidency.
The following scene will chow him
in his farewell address to the people
cf Springfield when he said, "To this
place and to the kindness of these
people, I owe everything."
The drama will end in an alle
gorical tableau after a scene portraying-
the shocked, grief-stricken
city the morning after the assassina
tion in Washington.
Lincoln had moved to Springfield
soon after the legislature made it the
state capital and remained there until
he became president in 18C1 on the
eve of the Civil war.
The first Illinois state caplta.1 stood
at Kaskaskia when Illinois entered
the Union, but in 1820 it was moved
to an .uninhabited spot on the Kas
kaskia river and the prospective cap
ital city was named Vandalia.
First Site Not Popular
Legislators expected the state to
derive considerable income from sale
of land in the new town but it failed
to attract population. Further, it
gained a reputation for being un-J
healthful and provided poor accom
modations for the lawmakers.
In 1834 the legislature decided to
select a new capital city by a popu
lar vote, but balloting was apathetic
and three cities nearly tied. The leg
islature refused to act after the close
vote.
Lincoln wanted the capital at
Springfield and set out to bargain
with the state representatives.
Most of the other cities and coun
ties primarily were concerned at the
time with tapping state funds for ap
propriations to aid construction of
internal improvements cancels and
railroads.
Lincoln believed Springfield's
transportation problems automatical
ly would be solved by selection of
the city as capital and he enlisted
the other eight representatives from
the county to supply him.
Log-Rolling Tactics
He then promised other legislators
the nine votes from Sangamon coun
ty for state aid appropriations to
their constituencies. In return he
asked repeal of the lav to select a
capital city by popular vote and elec
tion of Springfield.
The first law was repealed and an
other substituted to name the city by
majority of the house of reresent
atives. Springfield led on the first
ballot and received a majority on the
fourth.
By those "log-rolling" tactics,

Springfield became the state capital,
1C years after Sangamon county com
missioners drove a stake in the
ground near Spring creek and desig
nated the spot as the county seat.
Lincoln moved from the nearby
town of New Salem to Springfield six
weeks later and entered a law part
nership in the' new capital.
WARNS COLLECTION AGENCY

Assistant Attorney General Bert

Mystic Realm
of Sixth Sense
Yielding Light
Prof. J. B. Rhine and Group of Sci
entists Report Progress in Tests
at Duke University.
NEW YORK (UP) It has been
eeven years now since Prof. J. B.
Rhine and a group of slightly be
wildered, but determined, scientists
began what ha3 become known as
the Duke experiments, and today they
give to the public a book, "New
Frontiers of the Mind" (Farrar &
Rinehart). calculated to prove the
theories that even they approached
with doubting, and trepidation back
in 1930.
The Duke experiments, made at
Duke University, are, in a sense, a
series of scientific probes designed to
learn whether or not man has a sixth
sense. Whether certain persons ac
quire knowledge, reactions and ex
periences not vouchsafed to others.
In other words, they would prove or
disprove the theory of mind reading.
The book, prepared by Prof. Rhine,
says that they have almost proved it.
Substantially, the new sense, called
"extra sensory perception," is one
based largely on a certain ability to
concentrate, but not wholly depend
ent on that sense. Some men and
women have been found to have this
sense to a far greater degree than
others, and it i3 thi3 phase of the
experiments and their results that
remain somewhat mysterious, even to
the experimentors.
isecause all human senses aro
fundamentally simple manfestationi
of a simple mental function, the ex
periments at Duke were conducted
in the simplest available fashion. The
most elementary equipment was used.
and by this use the most substantial
results are believed to have been
gained.
For example, a set of bridge cards
was used. Five symbols, including
the star, circle, square, plus sign and
wave sign, were printed in black on
a white background. These are call
ed ESP test cards, or extra-sensory
perception cards. The testor held the
cards in his hands and as he lifted
one up, the subject, with his back to

or whatever symbol flashed in his
mind at that particular moment.
Twenty-five card3 were used for a
test, and the results were sometimes
amazing.
It was discovered that many per
sons established and maintained a
far higher average of correct selec
tions (or guesses) than others. It was
proved conclusively that those who
once established a high average of
selections managed, through innum
erable subsequent tests, to remain
pretty close to their original figures,
thus tending to prove the point of
superior endowments in the myster
iously favored. -
At the outset. Prof. Rhine was as
tonished at some of his discoveries
but is now firmly convinced that a
hew sense has been discovered and,
so to speak, treed. .".
In his book, the author gives brief
hints to the individual on how to dis
cover for himself whether or not he
is one of those gifted with an extra
allotment of thi3 sixth sense. The
average mark reached Its five out
of twenty-five. If you call more than
five, you have a pronounced ESP.
To carry on the experiments, even
a3 sketchily outlined by Prof. Rhine,
indubitably would require an enor
mous amount of patience, but If the
results are as salutary as the pro
fessor and his aides have found them,
then the preserving seeker-after-
knowledge should be able to open
new and astounding vistas, not only
among those he meets and knows, but
even within himself.
