BRISBANE
THIS WEEK
One Big Shot Convicted
The Many Laugh
Roman Triumph, NewStyle
Storms. Hoods, Twisters
The bind of "Justice" supposed
to “terrify" crime In this country
is very amusing
Justice: confined
to the nntlonul
government.Mur
derers, kidnap
ers and other
racketeers are
Jailed, not for
their crimes
against society,
but for failure
to pay Income
tax. The felon Is
J .lied for failure
to divide his
criminal earn
Arthur Hrl.bnn, wlth
government.
A change In tills program is due to
Special Prosecutor Dewey, who, be
fore Supreme Justice McCook, In
New York city, has convicted a "top
notch racketeer," ns Mr. Dewey calls
him—CharlesC’Lucky”) Luciano. He
and eight vice-ring associates are
convicted on 62 counts, that may en
tail prison sentences of 1,240 years
for "Lucky" and each associate.
This Is an actual conviction for
crime, not for taxdodglng.
In this world, many laugh and a
few do things. Fulton said be would
run a bout up the Hudson river by
steam; crowds gathered to laugh.
When It was suggested early In
this century that men would soon
fly, successfully, millions laughed.
Had It been suggested that un
army officer would cross the conti
nent "flying blind" In u hooded
cabin, seeing nothing, guided by a
scientific "radio beam," the laughs
would have been louder; but that Is
what Major Knker, of the army air
corps, has Just done. If you should
say now that giant ships will fly
around this earth, up In the strato
sphere, above CtOlda and storms,
carrying thousands of passengers,
dropping them at their various des
tinations In smaller ships, "around
the world in 48 hours or less." there
would be more laughter, but It
would be foolish laughter. What
men can imagine they can do, ami
more.
General Budogllo, who was sent
bj Mussolini to take over Ethiopia,
ami did so, celebrated his triumph
In Koine, Mussillni and the Italian
king, now emperor of Ethiopia, as
sisting.
The triumphant general, named
viceroy of Ethiopia by Mussolini,
who surprised the world with the
swiftness of his conquest, led his
troops, burned by the tropical sun,
under the victory arch of Constan
tine to the tomb of the unknown
soldier of the big war,
"Storms kill nine In Oklahoma
and Kansas; tornadoes, floods and
lightning cause havoc." so runs the
headline, and so other headlines
have been running for montJis past.
Hall ruins crops; lightning holts kill
three; "twisters," those powerful,
revolving windstorms, lift up and
knock down little houses.
The sultan of Sulu is dead on the
Island of Jolo, now only sultan In
name.
Once, ns spiritual ami temporal
head, he ruled all the Mohammedans
of the Sulu archlpelugo.
The death of this former ruler,
Jamalul Klram, recalls an Interest
ing Incident following the Spanish
war. Jamalul, good Mohammedan,
did not think he should deal with
this nation, on account of its re
ligion. He was soothed by nn offi
cial statement that the United
States had no ofliclal religion what
ever.
The Black Legion, latest secret
tn aider organization, tells candi
dates: “You cannot Join unless you
are a native-born, white, Protestant
gentile; willing to proceed agalust
negroes. Catholics and Jews." To
“proceed against” means to murder.
The Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ In America, a
Protestant organization, says It Is
shameful for the Black Legion to
use the word "Protestant,” and blas
phemous to use the name “God Al
mighty.”
Sir Samuel Hoare had to leave
the British cabinet because he op
posed the foolishness of sending a
great British tleet Into the Mediter
ranean to protect Halle Selassie, not
protecting him in the least.
Now. Sir Samuel Hoare Is back In
the British cabinet “the king
pleased to appoint him." This
means, probably, that the futile
league of Nations’ “sanctions” ef
fort to coerce Mussolini will be
dropped. Many things are easier
than coercing Mussolini.
Why do Americans swallow eager
ly anything in the way of foreign
made goods, especially If they come
from the friendly British islands?
British merchants advertise proud
ly “Made in Great Britain.” Every
Englishman urges "Buy British."
Americans seem proud If they cun
advertise "Made in England” or
“Made In France."

For Graduation, Party and Prom
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
CMtESH and young and
^ unspoiled, the sweet
girl graduate Is the star
of her commencement
week and must he cos
turned daintily nnd love
ly as can he for her part,
also plan for the commencement
parties, llolng wise, as her diploma
declares her to he, she will choose
a graduation frock that will be ap
propriate for evening wear right
through the summer.
Some of the most entrancing dual
purpose frocks are of Swiss or
gandie. Romantic, youthful and flat
tering, these sterling, exquisitely
sheer cottons come In endless vari
ety. Embroidered organdies are Im
mensely popular this year. They
are patterned In versatile fashion,
ranging from flowing vine nnd floral
motifs to demure bow-knot, also
novelty dot effects. Eyelet and nil
over cutout embroidered patterns
nre delicately lacy and have nn
added crispness that Is refreshing
and cool for summer wear. Flecked
Swiss organdies nre fascinating, too,
with chenllle-llke dots and geomet
ric patterns applied In colors or
white on solid grounds.
The now chic finished organdies
are as sweet and dainty ns the
edelweiss flowers of their native
land. These are so supple In finish
they drape beautifully nnd have a
soft but noticeable luster that Is
Inherent In the material and comes
hack faithfully after each tubbing
and pressing.
Miraculous, Indeed, are the now
crinkled nnd matelasse organdies
that need only to he tubbed nnd
then put on a hanger to dry to re
turn to their original freshness. In
solid color or In multi-color florul
prints.
Graduating frocks this year nre
full length, with smoothly titling
skirt flaring from the knee. He
enuse of the youth of their wearers
anil because the style Interest la
centered on the unusual fabric pat
terns, the frocks are always sim
ple In line. Distinctive details are
chic fly-away sleeves, always perky
nnd crisp In organdie, a restrained
use of demure ruffles, and as a
rule, modest high necks.
The lovely models pictured have
flaring skirts that will lilt blithely
to the platform at the graduation
exercises and appear later on at in
formal dunces nnd dinners through
out the summer. Slim sheathes of
taffeta make a sleek foundation
with an elegant whisper of silk. Taf
feta Is also being used In a revival
of the traditional snsli with butter
fly how and long ends ns Instanced
In the youthul frock of eyelet em
broidered Swiss organdie to the
right In the trio.
Just as the tradition of white
for brides Is no longer uniformly ob
served, pastel colors or touches of
color on white have become ns cor
rect for graduation ns all-white.
Wherefore, the flower-llke mnlden
pictured to the left will go tripping
demurely up the aisle In a sprlg
embroldered organdie. The brief
bolero jacket has tl.v-nwny, pleated
shoulder-widening sleeves to en
hance Its chic and Its charm.
Of course you have fallen In love
at first sight with the beguiling
dress, centered in the picture.
Everybody does. A discreet nnd art
ful use tff ruffles adds to the quaint
hut very modish nlr of this sum
mery frock which Is fashioned of
pin-dotted Swiss organdie. The red
grosgraln ribbon tie at the throat
nnd a red grosgraln belt match the
color of the fabric dots.

IT'S THE LATEST
llr rilKRIK NICHOLAS
Here is a coat ami dress that Is a
lust-minute arrival, s# new that
Its newness almost startles. It has
that modish broad shoulder line
which Is essential If you would be
up and going in fashion. Great em
phasis Is given to cblor alliance in
this model by Creed. The dress
has a front of green, brown und red
madras. The three-quarter length
coat ts made of beige and brown
wool as Is also the dtVss. The coat
fastens with a wide chamois gray
ttflt The hat is gray felt.
Obi Sash
A black satin old sash printed
with large white birds is an lnter
esting accessory to a black or white
eveuiug gown.
STRIKING BUTTONS
ADD BRIGHT TOUCH
Many striking ideas are being
developed In the button line. For
sport blouses, a clever manufac
turer uses numbers to repluce or
dinary buttons down the front
These, ranging from one to nine,
are of plastic material, sometimes
In bright color to form a contrast
ing effect against the blouse fab
ric or else In Imitation Ivory, tor
tclse shell or delicate, pnle amber.
The signs of the Zodiac ulso have
been a source of Inspiration for
button designers and have been
used with great originality by lead
ing dressmakers for summer after
noon or bench dresses. The Chi
nese Inspiration has been respon
sible for one style showing Chi
nese script engraved over mother
of-pearl discs or plastic plaquette*
In lacquer red.
Canine Heads Are Used to
Trim Various Accessories
The feminine population of Paris
has gone dog minded and canine
heads trim everything from sports
scarves and handkerchiefs to belt
fastenings. Wire-haired terriers and
Scotties remain popular favorites
and their heads. In blnek and white
composition material, make decora
tive belt buckles which match
smaller editions used as buttons.
Pairs of wire haired terriers and
Scotties are suspended on leather
chains from leather bracelets and
are matched by fobs worn in the
lapel of a spring sports suit. These
fobs are made like dog leashes with
the dogs attached to braided, col
ored leather chains.
Real Flower Fan
A lovely and unusual fun carried
at an evening affair in Paris was
made of living ferns and orchids set
in a tortoise shell frame.
Beaded Necklace*
Beaded necklaces as wide as col
lars and taking the place of collars
are increasing in importance and
desirability.

T«llc» About ®
Danger* of “Slimming”
f*TT IS interesting to note
that the so-called reduc
ing preparations on the market
fall into three categories; first
laxative that deny the body
the benefit of its food intake as
the salts, crystals and herb
teas; second, obvious frauds that
depend for effect upon the stringent
diets as part of the ‘treatment’;
and third the unquestionably ef
fectlve out nanger
ou * articles con
taining thyroid or
dlnitrophenol, both
of which act by
speeding up the use
of the food.” I am
quoting Mr. W. G.
Campbell, chief of
the Federal Food
and Drug admin
istration, Washing
ton.
Dr. Barton „ W>>»t about the
first kind of these
preparations, the laxative? This
is the use of epsom or other salts
In patented form which net by not
only causing diarrhoea and that
much loss of water from the system,
but carry out with them some of
the actual food products of the
blood, thus causing thinning of the
blodd—anaemia. As a matter of
fact, small doses of “salts" for a
few days at a time may be help
ful when the liver Is sluggish and
not filtering the poisons from the
blood property. The salts thus thin
the blood and remove some of the
poisons from waste food products.
However, the use of salts for long
periods of time and in the amounts
often recommended for reducing,
takes some of the body building ele
ments from the blood and hence
every cell In the body Is deprived of
these necessary food elements to
some extent. Thus tuberculosis, anae
mia, or a serious shock to the body
can readily occhr.
The second kind of preparation
that really depends upon reducing
the food Intake rather than any
mVrit In the preparation is likewise
dangerous because the amount of
food advised being much less than
the body needs, the body has to
give up some of its fat and other
tissues to supply the food needed
to carry on the body's work.
Giving up its fat Is, of course,
of help In reducing weight, but
other tissues of the body, muscle
tissue, for Instance, has consider
able fat in It, which cannot be given
up without damage to the muscle It
self. And delicate nerve tissue
needs fat to ennble It to do Its
work in the body.
Fallacy of Diet Fadi
The reduction In the amount of
food eateu is good treatment if the
amount of reduction were not so
great. An example of too much re
duction is the IS-day diet that swept
through the country a few years
ago, resulting in hundreds of
deaths and making invalids of many
others.
'Hie third method of reducing—
the use of thyroid extract or the
drug dinltrophenol overheuts tho
body and so melts away fats and
burns other tissues.
Research physicians record a
number of cases where the use of
thyroid extract to reduce weight has
caused the dangerous type of goitre,
permanently damaged the heart by
overwork, and In other cases has
made necessary the dniiy use of io
dine and the need of almost con
stant rest.
While dinltrophenol In ttie hands
of research physicians In Snn Fran
cisco has met with a fair meas
ure of success its unsupervised use
has caused severe skin eruptions,
| cataracts to form in the eyes, and
j even denth in a number rf cases.
Sane Way to Reduce
Now there may be some cases
where tiny doses of epsom salts
daily for a few weeks may help
remove liquid weight from the body
and supply the body with an alkali
, to help overcome the acidosis that
occurs during weight reduction.
; Also the slight reduction of food
over a long period of time is bound
to reduce weight without Injury
to the body.
And finally there are cases where
the use of thyroid extract is the
proper method of reducing weight,
it is quite likely also that the day
will come wdien with a pure prep
aration and under strict supervision
; dlnltrophenol will be more gen
erally used in weight reduction.
Warm Weather Reducing
In spring and summer when the
weuther is warm, it should not be
difficult for those seeking to reduce
their weight, to cut down on all
foods, particularly starch and fat
foods.
This would mean that the amount
of these kinds of foods—fat build
ers—could be cut down safely by
one-quarter to one-half without
causing any real discomfort.
The difficult tldng would be to cnt
down on the liquids—water, soft
drinks, ice cream—but a simple rule
wou3 be to take liquid whenever
the feeling of thirst came, but to
drink only half the usual quantity
each time.

smaller sprays on the bolster, or
scarf ends. The flowers are entirely
formed of lazy-daisy stitch and
French knots, the leaves of blanket
stitch—the rest Is in outline. With
cotton or rayon floss the designs are
seemingly done in no time, in shades
of lilac, orchid, or palest yellow.

GUM-DIPPED TIRES
WIN INDIANAPOLIS 500 MILE RACE
On May 30th, Louis Meyer broke the track record, at 109 miles per
hour, driving the entire race without tire trouble of any kind. He is the
only driver ever to win the race three times, and has always used
Firestone Tires. No tires except Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires could
have resisted the terrific heat generated at such high sustained
speeds. You can have no greater proof of blowout protection.
Not one of the thirty-three drivers would risk his life on any other
\ hre, for each driver knows that heat is the chief cause of tire failure
and blowouts. Firestone cords are soaked in liquid rubber, which
saturates and coats every cotton fiber, preventing friction and heat
and adding great strength* This is the Firestone patented process of
Gum-Dipping, that gives you greatest blowout protection and safety.
Profit by the experience of famous drivers. See your nearest
Firestone Auto Supply and Service Store or Firestone Dealer, and
have your car equipped today with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires.
