for women are passe. They're wear-ing 2.75 hose. An enterprising re-

porter braved the shopping districtto find out just how popular halfhose were. He discovered he wasseveral days too late.

"Do the girl? wear them much?"i

echoed one salesgirl to his query, re-

garding the new 2. 7 5 hose. "Mygoodness, yes. Look!" the reporterblushed and admitted they did.

"What's the excuse for them?""They're so nice and cool." gurg-

ling, "and they well, they haveother advantages."

'"Hr-er- - how are they kept inlace?"

The salesgirl picked up a pair ofshimmery blue silk things, about as j

"They turn down the edges likethi and put a rubber band underthe roll."

'They're so popu.ar," she added,"that we rather expect a demandfor them even next winter."

Hj-- United Tress:CHICAGO, July 31. Feared and

dilapidated. Its Inhabitants bandagedand frightened. Chicago's black belttoday was calm and orderly afterthree days and nights of race riotingwhich claimed 30 lives and causedInjuries to nearly 500 persons.

Practically all fighting, except oc-

casional outbursts ceased with thearrival In the nerro section of 6,-- 00

Fohliers, members of the militia andnational guard. Presence of thetroops and the fall of a steady rainaccounted for a cessation of hostili-ties that had been an SO hourreign of terror for a district cover-ing approximately 15 miles.

The rain also served to combatthe more than 150 Incendiary tiresivhlch damaged or destroyed scoresof r.egro homes. Many of the for-

mer occupants had abandoned themost dangerous portions of the belt,taking refuge In outlying districts,some even going north to Milwaukeeand south to Tennessee and Miss-

issippi, their former homes.Scene Is Desolate.

Desolation greeted the occasionalvisitor who dared penetrate the belt.

Windows shattered, doors batter-ed in, bricks and stones strewnabout tho sidewalk, yard and porchmarked dozens of houses raided bywhite mobs. In many places house-hold furnishings, hod clothes andwearintr apparel were pulled out andleft in the street.

nn the curbstones sat lazily andsullenly, scattered knots of negroestplkin in subdued tones to j'achother. When rain fell they weredriven to doorways and shelters.

The problem of gettiusr food Intothe district was taken up today bycity authorities and civic societies.Provision wagons had not dared en-

ter for three days. Supplies were ex-

hausted and stores wero closed. To-

II y Fnited Pre?s :

WASHINGTON", July 31. Shatter-ing a century of precedence, thesenate foreign relations committeetoday begins actual consideration ofa peace treaty In public session.

Hernard M. Baruch. financial ex-pe- lt,

who has been an adviser ofthe American peace mission inFaris, was to appear before thecommittee, explaining many fea-

tures of the economic clauses.The committee planned to ascer-

tain just fs definitely as possibleriorn the experts who advised on thedrawing of the treaty how theFnited States is affected by the com-plicated financial and economic pro-visions which compose a substantialportion of the peace settlement.

Swoops Traditions Aside.Put the real significance of today's

meeting of the committee, in theview of many senators is that itsweeps aside the senate's tradition-al policy cf deep secrecy in consid-eration of treaties. For a hundredyears treaty deliberations, both incommittee and before the full sen-ate, have been jealously guarded. NoLuropjean chancellory took greaterpains to keep its state secrets thandid the seriate.

Now without debate, without adissenting voice, simply by commonconsent, this custom has beenabandoned.

FertK'nM Txmg Ago.Open consideration of the treaty

in the senate was forecast monthsago by Borah and Johnson, but theythought the;, would have to fightfor it.

The reason for the open sessions,well informed members of the for-eign relations committee said today,is based on the knowledge that sec-recy creates "leaks," that the way toinjure both the opponents and advo-cates of the treaty against distortionof their views as expressed in com-

mittee or the senate, is to open thedoori; and allow the public tc getthe views of both sides at first hand.
