THIS WEEK To Store Food in Mine* President s Good Idea No Criticism for Germany Japan's Many llahics While the President talks peace for all the Americas, England, locked in her smal 1 island, separated by nar row water from European hatred, realizes that it would be hard to keep out of a big war. She might, some day, move her imperial headquar ters from London to Montreal or Que b e c, as the French govern Arthur Brisbane ment once moved from Paris to Bordeaux, and the Spanish govern ment recently from Madrid to Val encia. England wonders what her peo ple would eat if war should be forced upon her, with enemy sub marines and airplanes sinking her food ships. She is not self-support ing, and her newly organized “food plans department" will try to store away enough food to last at least a year. As a "cache” for the food, England is using worked-out coal mines, of which many, going down thousands of feet, should be safe from bombardment. The President's trip to South Am erica proves to have been a most useful idea. Great crowds welcomed him in his brief stop at Rio de Janeiro, as he drove through the streets with the Brazilian President Getulio Vargas, bands playing "The Star-Spangled Banner." The President will talk peace and business, at least as much busi ness as peace, and he will make friends for us all in South America. You may count that day rare on which Chancellor Hitler’s govern ment does nothing new und queer. Dramatic criticism and literary crit icisms are now forbidden in Ger many. Constructive criticism is of greatest value to actors and writers; the intelligent among them are grateful for it. The Ruler of the universe was his own critic, "and God saw every thing that He had made, and, be hold. it was very good." All need criticism, the powerful need it more than others, and Hitler will have it when history is written. His min ister of propaganda cannot control that. Tokyo reports for Japan the world’s highest birth rate; 2,180, 703 new Japanese babies arrived in 1935, more than in 1934 by 148,931. Japanese marriages are increas ing, divorces decreasing; the latter down to less than one in 1,000 mar riages. Japanese husbands and wives get along better than Ameri cans do. The great contract bridge com petition ends and the Harold Van derbilt cup goes to four players called the Kaplan team: PhilAbram sohn, Fred Kaplan, Horry Fishbein and Irving Epstein. Mr. Vanderbilt, on hand to present his cup, might telephone Chancellor Hitler that you do not have to be an '‘Aryan” to understand bridge. Business is picking up and that includes marriage, most important. Chicago university says 750.000 few er weddings have taken place dur ing the six depression years than would have occurred in normal times. Hence the loss of about one million new American babies that would have been born. Seven hun dred and fifty thousand young couples have missed, among them, more than three million years of marriage bliss. The tide turned in 1935 with 1,327, 000 marriages, highest total in our history. ■ 1 • Mr. Green’s and Mr. Lewis’ union labor organizations indicate that their differences may be settled, which is good news. Organized labor should present a united front against too-short pay and long hours. The prosperity of the nation de pends on how much the workers have to spend. China says she will risk war with Japan rather than let Japan take more of her territory. If that war comes it will illustrate the differ ence between a country prepared, Japan, and one unprepared and dis organized, China. Japan’s unspoken answer to Chi na’s war threat is her birth rate. Those millions of new babies must go somewhere. Sir Basil ZaharoS, called “mys tery man” and “richest on earth.” dead of heart disease at eighty-six, had for his motto, “Every man has his price.” He dealt in munitions, and he may have bought, as well as helping to kill, many. Begin ning poor, in Constantinople, Za haroff climbed to the top in money and intrigue. It matters little where you start, what matters is inside the head.

In her giddily gay wool plaids, her Tyrolean-inspired knitted togs and her sturdy Nor wegian worsteds and knits what a picture she makes midst scenes of snow and ice and gray burdened skys! What with gorgeously colorful Scotch wool plaids almost stamped ing the vogue and what with the Tyrolean influence going that strong all's needed is a range or so of snow-clad Alps in the distance to make the scene complete. Important news in regard to clothes designed to fortify against the rigors of winter is the enthu siasm shown for fancy, sometimes quite fantastic, short jackets and hiplength coats also wool shirts (call 'em shortwnists if you insist) that contrast monotone skirts, cu lottes or plus four trousers—the latter a favorite type with the ski and skate devotee. Let winds howl and icicles form in endless chain, it’s immune you will be to their devastating chill if clad in a sturdy coat for all out doors as shown to the left in the picture. Here is a coat in the new er short length that performs a three-act-in-one of being gay, be ing "comfy" and high-style on ev ery count. It is made of a rough and-ready old-town wool plaid in warm deep color tones—just the sort of plaid weaves everybody’s calling for this seuson. Have you heard of the new plaid wool shirts that are showing up so vaingloriously in college-girl ward robes? Not only are these plaid shirts rating ace-high in classroom and campus environs but for office and general everyday practical wear the shirt of enchanting plaid wool is everything it should be. See the perfectly tailored specimen of a modish plaid shirt in the illus tration. As here shown it is worn with dark green beautifully fitted men’s wear flannel culottes. The intriguing thing about the newer handknit fashions is that they are stylized to the nth degree and many interesting new and fanci ful stitches are being introduced. A perfectly charming innovation is the employment of embroidery done in vivid Tyrolean color schemes in connection with not only knitted cardigans and sweaters but pert boxy hiplength jackets made of felt or cloth trimmed with gay ap plique felt flowers and colorful bind ings and amusing buttons. That the newest style trends are being Incorporated in hand-knitted fashions is a fact evidenced in the cunning waist-length jacket pic tured on the figure seated. See the full-at-top sleeves that give the very important wide shoulder lines. If you are wanting to know, it re quires about ten balls of feather down yarn to knit this jacket which is done in a simple lacy pattern. One ball of Limerick green Shet land floss trims it. Make this jack et Tyrolean, if you will, by em broidering gay little yarn flowers here and there. Bright colored but tons add yet another note of inter est. © Western Newspaper Union. PETIT POINT BAGS llv C1IKKIB NICHOLAS With the winter season of gran diose social functions coming on, visions of lovely evening bags be gin to stir the imagination. To wom en of discriminating taste a bag of exquisite petit point speaks most eloquently when it comes to giv ing the desired dramatization to the costume. The very lovely and distinctive bags here pictured are creations by Madame Jolles of Vi enna. The sophisticr ted cape of regal black Lyon velvet shown at the top makes a perfect setting for the charming petit point bag done in brilliant colors and marvelously intricate design. Below in the pic ture the subtle Edwardian mood of the patrician quilted satin coat is enhanced with a glamorous petit point bag of unusual shape and vivid floral design, distinguished by a new handle, recalling a grace ful arc. This winsome bag is as youthful as is the simply cut wrap that so unmistakably bears the stamp of aristocracy. VELVET HAS PROVED SMARTEST MATERIAL Velvet has proved to be the smartest material of the year. It is shown in numerous varieties _ velveteen, panne, lame, shaved to a Mat, stubby surface or printed into a striped or plaid design. Black, as is always the case in Paris, is the favorite, although various shades of green, rod and brown are almost as popular. The new velvets are used for se verely tailored suits to be worn un- ; der fur capes as well as for dressy cocktail suits worn with rich lame blouses. Velveteen is used for street dresses worn under fur- I trimmed cloth coats as well as jack et suits worn with plaid woolen blouses. Right-Sized Heel Factor of Importance in Dress To the woman who regards good dressing as an art. the right heel is as important as the right jewels or gloves. If she aims to look tall ano queen ly in her evening gown, towering heels are an indispensable part of the picture. If her mood is coquet tish and her gown inspired by an ancient Greek robe, heel-less or flat heeled sandals provide the proper foot note. Heels covered with vivid fabrics or encrusted with jewels add a sparkling touch to her formal eve ning ensembles. Many of her most striking costumes owe their success to the harmony between her heels and her hair ornament, handker chief, or corsage. As costume ac cessories heels are becoming more and more significant. Tulle Instead of Satin A wedding dress made entirely of tulle, like the ballet dress por trayed by Degas, the French paint er. was worn recently in New York by an internatinally known bride The full skirt swept the floor and stood out in true ballet fashion. The veil worn was very short, like a confirmation veil. Very, Very Cold Ry VIRGINIA WOODALL © McClur* N’eVKtjmpvr Syndicate. WSU Service. STANDFORD G BROWN dictated with half closed eyes: ‘‘Her beauty was colder and purer than the snowy landscape. Chiseled as in marble, her features were given warmth by a pair of richly blue eyes in which burned the embers of a fire. Clifton longed to stir it into a flame that would melt ...” Little-Bit fofiicially titled Mary McCarthy) lifted the pencil from her shorthand notebook and frowned. "Stan! I thought . . “Yes?” He opened his eyes. “Well, I thought you’d find a new type of heroine for this story—one with some life. You've used this chiseled female for every yam you've written lately.” "H'ram. She’s so—so perfect, I don’t see any use in changing her,” he protested. If I could meet a woman with her cold, classical love liness—I’d marry her!” Little-Bit bent over the notebook again. ‘‘Go on.” ‘‘The Seventh Cockatoo” with, or in spite of, its marble heroine, be came a best seller—Stan’s first suc cessful novel. He became, in con sequence, a local celebrity, attended a tea party in Milwaukee, and was introduced to this cold heroine in the flesh. Three weeks later, in the musty drawing room of the Van Guise home, he rounded oft his im passioned courtship and was ac cepted by Lisbeth Van Guise. Lisbeth began to make him over according to her own specifications. Or. her initial visit to Stan’s rooms, she looked only once at Little-Bit’s brown eyes and red lips. “These rooms are terrible,” she said then, indicating the shabby furniture. “I'll move,” Stan said promptly. "And you really need an efficient secretary. A man, perhaps.” Three months later, Stan was thinking of Little-Bit as he gazed up at the tall, exclusive apartment building into which he had moved. For long weeks he had lived in the apartment with a mahogany desk, and there wasn’t a line writ ten on the second novel Lisbeth in sisted he finish before their mar riage. Something about the new place gave him the fan-tods. A snowdrift tempted his unwary foot, burying it up to the ankle, Unwarrantably angered by the mis hap, he halted and was considering kicking the snowdrift when—wham! — a snowball caught him behind the left ear, knocking off his hat. Turning quickly, he glared at the small boy who was vanishing around the corner. A matter of sec onds later, with two snowballs ready made, he had taken up a stance. The psychology of small boys al ways dictated their getting a second look at their victims and when this boy appeared . . . Stan’s arm shot forward. Before the icy missive struck, he rec ognized his error. It was a girl, not a boy, coming around the corner— and not just a girl either. It was Lisbeth Van Guise! He ran toward her with shouted apologies. Brushing the sncw from her face, she silently refused his proffered handkerchief. “I’m sorry! I didn't mean it for you. A kid threw one ...” “A stupid, vulgar trick!” She closed her vanity. “We won't dis cuss it further. The doorman told me where to find you. I've brought you your new secretary.” “Oh—Snockleberry! IT* give him a try and ...” “Please, Standford. Don’t call Monsieur Roque de Barrie — Snockleberry. After all. h* is a gen tleman even if he does need a posi tion.” Stan felt himself growing stub born. 'T’ve got a job,” he said. "I’m not offering a position. I need somebody to work like — Little Bit.” ‘ Monsieur de Barrie cannot be classed with your—Little-Bit. He is a man of culture, widely traveled, a linguist: He will be able to polish your writings into the finest prose.” Stan thrust his hands into his coat pockets. “You tell Snockleberry the job is taken. I don’t need him. I'm going to get Little-Bit back—if she’ll come.” “In that case,” Lisbeth's eyes were calculatingly cold, "you don't need me.” ‘‘No! Take a tip from me: You can rope some men in with your cold, cold beauty but if you don't warm up, you can’t keep ’em. You Twenty minutes later Stan was established in the middle of Little Bit’s one room apartment, waving his arms at her. She was listening, seated before her typewriter, and refusing to return to his employ. "YouTl find another live replica of your iceberg heroine in a couple of weeks—and I’ll be out on my ear again. Nothing doing. You need a man secretary.” He put a pencil into her hand and a notebook from his pocket. “Take dictation, please. Her warm brown eyes shone with eagerness; her soft lips, red and sweetly yield ing, met his in a kiss of surrender. “Yes, I’ll marry you,” she whis pered . . Little-Bit held up her arms. "You mean ‘ "Gimme more,’ ” she whis pered! Spinach Cup Cake Take four cups of flour and put them in one cup • • • and add three spoons.
