By the Associated Press. NEW YORK. June 27.—An asser- tion that changes in women’s styles had “virtually wrecked the business of many New England textile plants” drew fire today from New York stylists. The fashion authorities tossed the .| ball back to their accusers by saying, “If that is true, the plants are re- sponsible—they must have fallen asleep on their job of learning in ad- vance what styles will be good and making up a line to fit the need.” The concensus was, “If their busi- ness was wrecked, it's because they ‘weren't quick enough to see a change on the way.” George M. Ruth, New York sales agent for textile firms, said most of the successful plants in America now have fashion authorities in New York, keeping in touch with style trends so as to forestall losses through turning out unwanted materials. The charge that Dame Fashion’s whims had nearly wrecked many New England textile plants’ business was made by Frederic C. Dumaine, treas- | urer of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Co. of Manchester, N.

A | #tudy made by the American Museum | of Safety in New York City of the 3.000 injuries from fireworks disclosed that 2,800 required medical attention | and that 2,500 were sufficiently severe | to require hospital treatment. In 24 instances there was loss of one eye, | not to mention 104 other serious eye njuries.” | He expressed the hope that public | kentiment would operate “to decrease | if not eliminate the annual blight.” Hope for a “safe and sane” 4th of July was voiced yesterday by Eigineer Commissioner Dan I. Sultan. “While we are celebrating,” he said, “we all must try to remember all the thousands in the past who lost their lives or remained crippled because of carelessness either on their part or| thoughtlessness of some one else.” | Dr. R. Lyman Sexton, chairman of | first aid and life saving, District of | Columbia Chapter, American Red Cross, also Warned the public against carelessness. He pointed out that the majority of fatalities and injuries each | 4th of July spring from five general causes—powder burns from fireworks, | drowning, traffic accidents, ivy peison- ing and sunburn. “More than 4,200 Americans have | been killed by fireworks during the past 30 years,” he said. “These {atalities occurred chiefly on the 4th | and more than equal the number of | our Colonists, who were killed during | the entire Revolutionary War.” | Monument Schedule, National Park Service officials an- founced that the Washington Monu- ment will operate on a shortened schedule on Independence Day.
