can produce more goods and satisfy more completely his increasing desires is to do more work. When man keeps hard at work he needs less sleep, and so the future citizens of the world will develop the ability to keep their eyes as wide open and their minds as alert at midnight as at high noon.

Like nearly all designers this season. Yteb is replacing the dressy coat and skirt by the two-piece suit, composed of dress and three quarter cost. With the exception of a few sports models, made of a rather beary type of woollens and showing a norfolk jacket influence, there were no coats and skirts at all in the collection, but any amount of two piece ensembles such as I have just described An idea Yteb works out quite often is that of composing the frock of an ensemble of two materials, the skirt of a heavy material, the blouse or top part of a lighter one; the coat, she makes of the same material as the skirt, and

lines it with that of the blouse, so that, when the wearer throws back her coat, an impression of perfect harmony is created.

Yteb, unlike some designers who are transferring the fulling of their skirts te the back, is continuing to favour flat backs and full fronts in all her models. Some of these are most effective, Follette," for instance, an evening gown established both in black and in apricot panne velvet; this is cut on the usual long, sheath lines, and is quite flat at the back, but inlet in front with three triangular pieces "joining onto the wrist line at the apex. All the skirts which did not actually show fullness in front, had width introduced in the form of in- verted pleats or godets. A curious line is that of the uneven hem, numbers of the skirts dipping slightly but definitely from front to back.

COLOURS.

The tests at George Washington Univer sity were made on six men and three women. Two of the men went without sleep for eighty hours; three of the men and all of the women went without sleep for sixty Lours, and the ninth person, Dr. William Middleton, used as a con- trol subject, gave in after forty-two hours. After the experiments were Raished, eight to tea hours sleep were sufficient to refresh the experimenters and to restore them to normal.

Every known device was employed to prevent the subjects falling asleep. They danced, rang, went awimining and running, drove motor-cars, talked, read, played gates, and drank various stimulants. The most effective ways of keeping awake, it was found, were to engage in bodily motion, and to eat, though sparingly. After forty-five hours of wakefulness it became difficult to drive a motor-car. It was almost possible to keep the drivers awake, be tween the forty-fifth and fiftieth hours. But thereafter they seemed slowly to recover, and after fifty-five hours it was noticeable that an increased alertness while at the wheel developed. The drow kinoss was shaken off with less effort, and the experimenters drove better on the third night than on the second. The paychologists are unable to explain this phenomenon.

A special test was made on the popular belief that coffee keeps one awake. The formal report on this point says:—

Colour favoured by Yteb are more or less those of a neutral tendency, browns in all shades, greys, mole and amethyst being among those most used. These naturally provide a good foil for the bizarre embroideries Yteb uses with such effect. This season, it is more futuristic than usual, many of the pattern reson- bling nothing so much as a Salon d'Automne shocker, There are, as well, numbers of examples of rich embroiderics that recall the bright patterns of Russian and Balkan embroideries. Ytéb, too, is using brocaded lamés a great deal, nearly all her evening coats being fashioned of some gorgeous fabric of this type, and trimmed lavishly with fur. La these, the All of those participating in the test cape has completely given place to the found it harder to keep awake after coat of an all-enveloping type, that fasting for a while than after having crosses right over in front and is fitted eaten.

The more sleepy the subjects collar of fur, but, as far as money is no became the more annoyance they showed object, extra bands are added down the and the more they insisted on having their own way. Thus, while being used in the motor car test, they would con- stantly try to take the right of way.

This vogue for fur applies also to day coats, all these being trimmed with bands of far, too. A new collar that has in- sinuated itself into the fashion world, is the old-fashioned shawl collar, neglected now for so many seaso118.- A favourite idea is to cover this with fur and extend the latter right down the front of the coat. As to the fur coats shown, none of these has altered a great deal since inst season, except, perhaps in the master of-shortness. As dresses continue to be much nearer the knees than the ankles, fur coats have been shortened accord- ingly, so that the models shown at Yteb's last week did not reach much further than

THE LONDON" MOTOR · SHOW. NATIONALITY OF EXHIBITS.

The British motor industry has, in con- nection with the annual motor shows held in London, always adopted a policy different from that which has been ap plied to shows in which it has taken serious part in the Empire Overseas. Ás regards the latter, the established policy is the organisation of all-British exhibi- tions. The first of these was held in Mel- bourne and was a success, both from the point of view of business and also from the standpoint of the public in- terest aroused, and consequently the financial results of the show.

Recently, another All-British Exhibition was held in Adelaide. This was on a somewhat smaller scale, but reports of business resulting from it are extremely | satisfactory. The principle having been tried out an i proved, there is every in- tention of extending it, and at the pre- sent moment enquiries are being made to ascertain what degree of support would be accorded to all-British motor exhibitions which it is proposed to hold during the next two years or so at Johannesburg, Calcutta, and Sydney.

D

So far as the annual London shows are concerned, the policy, has always been to admit foreign competitors. on equality with British exhibitors, so mak- ing the exhibition internationally repre- sentative and constituting London the main centre of the world's motor markets. It was only at last year's show that, for the first time, anything like an organised attempt was made to inform visitors clearly as to the nationality of the goods displayed. The need for so doing was clear in view of the fact that quite number of British buyers were very vague as to the country of origin of the cars they had under consideration. Last ear, however, in connection with the purchase of British vehicles by the Britis campaign for the encouragement of the public, very maay of the standholders at Olympia displayed notices bearing the words "This is British In addition,

urge numbers of copies of a little book- let setting forth the reasons for preferring a Britisa car, and particularly emphasis ing the importance of giving employment to British labour, were circulated inside and outside the Show.

Thé, plan adopted last year was ecs tainly open to criticism. For one thing. there are many stands," particularly among the exhibits of accessories and components, on which some of the goods shown, are British, while others are for- eign. Thus a notice claiming British origin for some particular article might be wrongly supposed by the public to refer to the exhibit as a whole. Again, we have the case of a ear in which the chassis is foreign, while the body is British, or, again, one in which the chassis is British while the body is for eign, In either case, a notice on the car claiming British origin might be wrongly supposed to apply to the com- plete vehicle.

Caffeine proved a disappointment-as This year the plan adopted was some- a stimulant throughout the feats. It was what different. All exhibitors were at given to four of the students to check liberty to display notices stating the its stimulative powers, while the others country of origin of their exhibits, but abstained from its use. Those taking these notices were only issued to them the drug fared no better than those who subject to a signed declaration satisfac did not. However, when two of the tory to the exhibition authorities. Even students who had never used it before,,, while many cars are to all intents and either in the experiment or at any purposes British throughout, there are previous time, were given caffeine on the guite a number in which certain small items are of foreign origin or some of the third night it acte as a stimulant.

material at least is derived from foreign sources. Some latitude must necessarily be given to cover such cases and, there- fore, it would hardly be possible to in- dicate the nationality except by agree- ing some percentage of the total cost of labour and material that must be repre- rationality claimed. rented by the Directly we agree a percentage we are sure to find that there are cases just on the border line. Again, we have such instances as those of cars emanating from the Canadian factories of manufacturing concerns that are essentially-American. In some such cases it may well prove possible to declare Canadian nationality for machines which, in respect of design and financial backing, would be classified in most people's minds as representative of the United States.

Mental alertness was not impaired during the tests. Professor Moss asserts that at the end of the sixtieth hour the students were, if anything, more alert mentally than at the beginning. Physical strength declined, but there was no en stant tendency to lose weight.

To cover the case of the car made up of chassis and body.coming from different countries, the nationality of these two main items was separately stated.
