BRISBANE THIS WEEK The Big “Black Legion" More and Better Babies A Worried Empire U. S. Dollars Emigrate The “ritual’’ of the murderous secret society called the “Black I^e glon" contains some “Know Nothing" fea tures. The can didate for ad mission must he “willing to com mit murder, to proceed against Catholics, Jews a n d Negroes”; he must be “na tive born, Prot estant, white and gentile." > mu—■ mm - . _ The "B lack Arllinr llrUlmnr . ... Legion, which probably will not last long, had am bitious plan*. Among other things It proposed to overthrow the fed eral government, which Is not an original idea. It was also going to set up a dictatorship, with night riding regiments to enforce disci pline. Dictatorship 1s not a new idea, either. Strange things are done or plnnned in the name of “liberty" now, as they were when Madam Boland mounted the guillotine platform. Russia wants bigger families, like Mussolini and others with "plans." Stalin wants plenty of new little citizens. A thousand million rubles will he set aside by Moscow to ‘•subsi dize large families und aid moth ers." Birth control ladles und gen tlemen will hear, surprised, that aid to large families will begin after the seventh child. Seven are taken as a matter of course; that Is Just the beginning of a Russian family. Chancellor Hitler of Germany joins in the "more and better ha hies” cry. The German ideal Is no longer the beautiful golden haired Margaret, spinning her wheel and saying ‘‘No." The Nazis demand women who, “above everything else, can become the mothers of several chil dren" and are willing to do so, according to a representative of Chancellor Hitler. William Philip Simms, English, Is afraid the British empire may not survive, on account of "air fleet peril." Britain Is disturbed by the thought that her whole imperial line of communication, stretching 4,000 miles from the Straits of Gibraltar to the Gulf of Aden, Is under Mussolini’s bombing planes. Except that her empire Is the big gest, England should not worry more than other countries. With surface ships losing all Importance, except In the opinions of some Americans, anybody’s bombers can break *ip any line of communica tions temporarily. "Americans Investing huge sums In tne Bahamas, to escape Income tax," says the New York Times, big type, front page. Americans have been "Investing huge sums” elsewhere, outside the United States. Billions of Ameri can money have gone to Canada, England and other “foreign parts.” More will go. In all the Bahamas, 4.403 square miles of beautiful territory, there is no income tux. Think of that f.-r a happy country. Needless to say, If enough Amer ican money pours In to make It worth while the Intelligent British will lind a way to tax It. Many Frenchmen are disturbed and puzzled by the situation in Eu rope, and General Mordacq, close associate of Clemenceau In the war, discusses the question, “What would Clemenceau do If he could come back?" France feels the need of “a man with a tlst," un hoinrne a polgue, and Clemeuceau was that kind. Concerning that tine old lighter from the Vendee, it Is safe to say that if he came back he would has ten preparations for another wur. Hut he would not have waited until BOW. Murshal Badogllo, who cleaned up Ethiopia so swiftly, has been called to Home, perbups as part of a wise plan not to let anybody grow too big. like the tree Igdrasll, supposed to have Its roots in hell, Us top most branches in heaven. A new comet now approaching us. discovered by and named for L. C. Peltier, amateur astronomer, who works In a garage, will be the first comet visible to the naked eye since 1027.

Pleat, Tailor and Tuck Smart Silks By CHERIE NICHOLAS L'VKUY duy In every way women who recognize the importance of selecting materials for the fashion ing of their costumes that can he “put to the test and not found want ing," are turning to handsome de penduble silks that are really and truly pure silk for the solution of their fabric problems. The fact that a lavish amount of pleating, tucking, shirring and me ticulous tailoring Is Involved In the styling of this season's smartest apparel Is proving an added Incen tive to Insist on silk of the better sort thut may be relied upon to yield successfully to these varied and sometimes Intricate manipula tions. Three outstandingly Important fashion trends are presented In the Illustration, each of which demon strates the chic and charm of silk weaves In the current mode. For the perfectly stunning Jacket suit the designer handles hlnck and while printed Rllk crepe as tailor perfect as If It were wool. The braid-bound edges of the jacket In terpret a highly significant styling detail. As to the white organdy frill. It Is a “last word" In acces sory chic. The other standing figure reveals Miss IP.'IO wearing a navy blue silk sheer with a pleated tunic, for yon must know that the pleated tunic Is n top notch fashion for spring and summer. Men's wear buttons go marching down the front of the tu nic pictured. Short pufTed sleeves follow the latest dictate of the mode. Note that these nre designed to give shoulder emphasis ns nil the newest fashions would have It. A tiny boutonniere and a yellow chamois belt stress the new vogue. As to this matter of tunics, from all Indications they are about to stampede the fashion picture. If In doubt, choose a tunic frock Is time ly advice, for It Is to be tunics by day and tunics by night according to reports from style centers. Some tunics are straight nnd narrow while other tunics flare about the knees like a bell or a lampshade. Many evening frocks adopt pleated skirts with tunic tops. Another big fashion feature Is the blouse that is all-over pleated like the one shown In the picture. This blouse Is of bright green pleated silk chiffon. It Is worn with a black silk taffeta suit. Note the pleated frill about the throat. This Is a fa vorite new neckline silhouette. And again plense to observe thnt the sleeves are short nnd puffed In the Intest manner. The smartest flower turbans are tophenvy in front. The one topping milady’s prettily colffed head Is made of purple silk vio lets. Purple, green nnd black Is the color scheme of this costume which goes to show how striking the new color alliances are this sea son. The new and fashionable bolero costumes bring blouses Into the very foreground of the fushlon scene. With black bolero two-piece dresses or suits the outstanding color Idea Is to wear as bright a blouse as the new silk prints can afford, or If not a print, then let your blouse be of a high-color pleated silk sheer. Anyway, go the limit in matter of daring color for your blouse. © Western Newspaper Union. PRINT COATS Bjr CIIKItlK NICHOLAS A plain coat topping a print frock is not news but a print coat top ping a plain frock la latest news from Fashion town. The model pic tured typifies the new mode. In this instance the redingote is of black and white print linen over a black lineu dress. The short sleeves pro claim a popular vogue for the sum mer. Bright silk print coats with monotone silk dresses, also jack ets of gay floral silks that contrast plain skirts will be made a big feature during the coming months. NEW COTTON LOOKS LIKE SILK OR WOOL Cotton that looks like silk, cotton that looks like wool, cotton as sheer ns the gauzlest chiffons, cot ton velvets, cotton tweeds and cot ton laces—all these will march In the fabric parade. Cord laces will be the tops In spring and summer swank, shown in tailored sports clothes for re sort wear now and all-around use later. Feasant weaves also are slated for high success In natural neutral tones, both in cotton and linen, with bright accessories. Embroidery, which has been creeping back Into the style pic ture, achieves rampant recognition in the new cotton fabrics. Em broidered surfaces are all over the place, both In soft, homespun type of cotton fabrics for sports wear, and in the organdies and mousse lines for evening. Built-Up Heels Are Tops in New Modes for Daytime Caprice is the keynote of the new spring styles. While some Paris authorities portend a vogue for Spanish senorltns, Chinese de ities and nnlmated modern paint ings, most American women are pre paring to step forth In sober suits and saucy accessories. Mannish felts and flower-trimmed trifles flaunt breath-taking colors in the new millinery modes. Tailored waistcoats and the frllllest of fem inine blouses have a slightly rakish look. There are 20 gay new glove shades and a dozen stocking tints, while scarfs are more frivolous than ever In color and design. Book Button* Book buttons lend a “highbrow” air to several new mid-season frocks. They are tiny, closed vol umes of black enamel whose leaves are edged with gold.

W.N'U Serv-loe. pAl’l’l’ SHOUT S eyes—the color * of bluing water over your hand— shifted to the right warily, though Ills head remained bent above the sewing-machine motor which lie was repairing in Sylvia's sun porch. Sylvia must have left the room, though you couldn't he sure, with those ruhber-soled nurse's siloes of tiers. He continued a moment longer Addling with his tiny screw driver and then carefully turned ids head full aside. Yes, she was gone. She was due on night siiift. Luckily she trusted him completely. That would make it easy. He heard the front door close a moment later and through the win dow saw S.vlvla drive away In her car. It was a rickety old model, Sylvia's car. Pappy snorted. She could afford a belter one If she wanted it. She worked quite reg-| ularly and had only herself to sup port. Besides, there were the pearls—a handful of them—which was as far as her parents had ever gone In the building of a genuine pearl necklace for her when she was a child, lie had often wondered why she didn’t sell the pearls. Sylvia kept the pearls In a san dalwood box behind some books In her bookcase, pappy Short doubted whether another person in the world besides himself knew of their hiding place, or even of tltelr existency. He chuckled. Sylvia certainly trusted him. Pappy laid down his screw driver and stumped away on his cork leg toward the living room. He swore under his breath at the clumsiness of his leg. It was old when he bought It. second hand, and must have been the cheapest cork leg In the world originally. ills face lined with bitterness as he dragged It over the floor. He'd he using this leg all his life, like as not. You couldn’t buy anything from tinker ing at thirty five cents an hour. That was all Sylvia ever paid him. Hitching Ids odious old cork peg along as silently as possible, he crossed and stood before the book case. Furtively Ills eyes moved about the room and swept the street beyond the windows; his ear, also, reported the presence of no human being in the vicinity. His veiny rough hand was clumsy w’ith the volume of medieval history which he removed from the case. The book fell upon the floor with a heavy slap. Pappy Short Jumped, and Ids eyes fluttered quickly about before he stooped to recover the book. He set it quietly upon an end table and removed two more volumes from the case. Sylvia must have chosen to put her pearls behind the volumes least likely ever to be removed by the roving hand of a guest. Pappy Short's hand closed quick ly on the small sandalwood box. It was locked, hut Pappy had little dlHimlty getting Into the box. He lifted the lid He gloated. Pearls were money, not beauty, to Pappy, lie counted them. Nine teen. That meant he had eleven In his possession. Soon he would have to put an end to this pilfering be fore Sylvia discovered her loss. She never seemed to look into the box with more than a fleeting glance, to see If the pearls were safe. „i He removed a lone pearl with his thumb and forefinger. Always It was just one. He put the pearl In his vest pocket while he re secured the lock. Then he replaced the box and the hooks before It. He took the pearl out of Ids pocket, chuck ling with satisfaction . . . No one would guess, he smiled to himself as he returned to repairing the machine motor, that there were twelve beautiful pearls nldden in his ancient cork leg. Ills work completed, he gathered his tools Into a worn satchel and let himself out the door. He wished Sylvia were here with her car. She often drove him home. But she ought to—-paying him a mis erable thirty live cents nn hour! And she had even gone off ibis time and forgotten to pay him at all! Pappy Short always arose at nine o’clock unless the weather was stormy. Then he slept until noon. This morning it was stormy. He woke al eleven-thirty. He reached for his old leg which always stood against the wall by his bed. The feel of it was somehow different this morning. He dragged himself upright and swung his good leg to the floor. He stared at 'he cork < ne. If was different! It was new—a brand new leg. and a high priced one at that! How had It come there, and where—his heart bept suddenly with furious pumps — where was his old leg and the pearls? Confusion and fear made him fumble with the folded paper he picked up from the floor. It bore nis name. Inside was scrawled In Sylvia’s hasty handwriting: “I dropped in on my way home from work this morning I had for gotten to pay you the dollar for your work yesterday. “This good new leg I hougut for you in appreciation of your good work and trustworthiness, I hope you will like it and be able to get about better. It Is just a Htle sur prise I ve planned for a long time SYLVIA. •p. 8.—I took .ne old l»g along with me.
