VTEW YORK—In 1929, at the age
of seventy-one, Frederick H.
Prince, the Boston banker, was still
playing polo. He has great faith in
the durability of
Time Better men, institutions
Than Reform and governments,
for Business as as fhey be
have themselves.
He left for Europe to forget about
business for a while and intimates
that it would be a good thing if the
government would be similarly neg
lectful. “Washington should stop
trying to reform business and leave
the situation to time,” he says.
Time has treated him nicely and
he may well give it a testimonial.
At seventy-nine, he is the grand
seigneur of American business. Only
four years ago, he engaged in a
hard-hitting slugfest over the con
trol of Armour & Co.
He got what he was after—the
chairmanship of the board. He has
many such trophies, having con
trolled 46 railroads, and, in general,
one of the biggest cuts in the Amer
ican dream of any man of his day.
His (mainly liquid) fortune is esti
mated at around $250,000,000. But,
for many years,

is revealing in connection with his
ideas about money and success. He
emphasizes the dynamics of money.
It isn’t money unless it is working.
Stagnant money just dries up and
blows away. Hence you draw cards
even if you do have to drag a few
chips for markers.
He’s a little too heavy for polo,
with a massive gray head, deep
sunken, pondering eyes, and heavy,
gray moustache; a bit grim, per
haps, but not formidable. When,
early in October, 1929, a small black
cloud appeared on the horizon, he
viewed it with a telescopic eye, saw
it for what it was, and got out of
the market.
The cyclone never touched him.
Until a few years ago, he was still
rfding to the hounds at Pau, in
southern France, master of the hunt.
He has marble palaces here and
there, one of them the former man
sion of Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, at
Newport. Remarking that he has
been in business 55 years, he says
this little squall will blow over in
two or three months.

THE reason isn’t quite clear, but,
these days, the colleges compete
for tuba players as well as athletes.
Dr. Walter Albert
Tuba Aeet Jessup deplores
Prized Same this and other
at Athletet Phases of 4 h e
scramble for stu
dents in the annual report of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Ad
vancement of Teaching, of which he
Is president. The fight seems to be
entirely in the field of extra-curricu
lar activities. No mere scholar gets
competing bids from rival faculties.
Since he became head of the Car
negie foundation, in 1933, Dr. Jessup
has been a consistent deflationist, so
far as education is concerned. He
wants fewer and better students in
the colleges. He assails the col
leges which would “teach anybody
anything." He is against education
al trimmings, excrescences and
gadgets, as the little Scotch iron
master doubtless would be if he
were looking over the current scene.
Other leading educators join him
in this, but the big mill has to have
plenty of raw ma
Brain Mill terial, to keep on
Needt Raw grinding, or else.
Material become just a
crossroad plant.
So they go after even the tuba play
ers. At any rate, each can blow its
own horn.
Dr. Jessup was president of the
University of Iowa from 1916 to 1933.
A native of Richmond. Ind., he was
educated at Earlham college and
Columbia and gathered several
honorary degrees in later years. He
was superintendent of schools in In
diana and dean of the college of
education of Indiana university. He
has won high distinction in the edu
cational field and is the author of a
book on arithmetic.
One gathers that he would not
recommend Benny Goodman for a
college faculty and that quite prob
ably the next Carnegie report may
find adversely on the shag, the jeep
er and the susy-q. He is for low
kicking and high thinking, as
against the prevailing reversal of
this formula.

Accident Taps Riches
Treasure has been brought to
light near Cairo, Egypt, by an ex
cavator’s lucky accident. He stum
bled on the burial place of middle
class Egyptian men and women of
5,000 years ago. In the graves were
found objects of art and entertain
ment. Beautifully carved articles
made of alabaster, schist, dolomite
and breccia were found, three of
them vessels of a kind previously
unknown. A knife of flint is so fine
and thin as to be practically trans
parent. A statuette of a goddess
wears a silver crown, the eyebrows,
necklace and the nails of fingers and
toes being of gold. A set of chess
men indicates that the early Egyp
tians played with 10 fewer pieces
than are now used.
Fashion Goes Definitely Bolero
By CHER IE NICHOLAS
EVENTUALLY, why not now, a bo
lero costume? The bolero vogue
is sweeping through all fashiondom
like wildfire. Both in suits and
dresses the bolero has leaped into
the very foreground of the mode
with such a flourish none can es
cape it and what’s more no one with
an eye to chic and charm will want
to escape a fashion so flattering,
so kind to waistlines, so make-you
look-young as do these new bo
lero silhouettes.
You can get most any type of a
bolero outfit you happen to want
which counts a lot when you are
choosing a fashion "first” for
spring A simple tailored model is
very practical in that with a supply
of diverse blouses and a collection
of intriguing accessories your bo
lero costume comes well nigh
serving as a whole wardrobe in it
self.
If you decide on a tailleui we
would suggest that you look for a
tweed in the ultra smart new wheat
color or if navy or black be your
preference you will be able to find
models galore tailored of wool twills
(watch twills for they are going
big) or of gaberdine of dependa
ble crepe or that which will carry
the summer through, triple sheer.
See to it that the bolero be duly
equipped with trim little pockets,
two or more if you please.
For those whose fancy turns to
softer dressmaker styling there's no
limit to the models available. Per
haps the outstanding note is sounded
in plain with print combinations. Of
these types there is such a vast
outpouring from style sources you
will feel an attack of brainstorm
coming on when you try to make a
selection. Sometimes the bolero and
skirt is in monotone with perhaps
LACE RESORT MODE
Hr CIEBIE NICHOLAS
Whether tor active or for specta
tor sports this cotton lace dress is
just the thing for wintering In the
South or taking along on a cruise,
and then keeping until spring, when
it. will serve delightsomely for warm
days. The dress is cool and color
ful and does not rumple easily,
which i* important for long, hot
days, also an argument in its favor
when it comes to packing for trav
el. The scalloped edges and the
contrasting belt are new notes for
the classic two-piece frock.
a wide binding or bordering of am
mated print to which a gypsy sash
is matched. Then again the entire
bolero is of the print with sash to
match.
With object in mind of calling at
tention to the widely diverse trends
interpreted in the now-so-important
bolero costume, the three models
were carefully selected from among
a showing of advance fashions de
signed by the Style Creators of Chi
cago in the wholesale district. These
are typical of what you will find in
leading shops and departments dur
ing the coming months.
In the center of the group we pre
sent a charming dress of navy
crepe, its modish bolero effectively
trimmed in white nailheads. “They
say” navy is going to be an out
standing color choice for spring. In
fact, all blues are good with espe
cial emphasis on the new gray
blues. Here’s another “pointer”:
Try with a navy bolero suit a blouse
and sash in a soft violet shade,
with which wear a boutonniere of
spring violets, with plenty of self
leaves in cool green.
Sugar sacking in the very, very
new wheat color makes the costume
to the left. It has a brown print
silk blouse with sash to match. The
meticulously tailored bolero has the
smart military influence.
Ideal for spring is the sheer wool
crepe in beige outfit pictured to the
right. The revers in tuxedo style
are of cat lynx, the tawny colorings
of which tune admirably to the gen
eral scheme of things. The fur
trimmed bolero is a fashion high
light that is destined to shine bright
ly in the style parade, so be sure to
keep your eye upon it. In conclud
ing we just thought you might like
to know that in the shops you can
find the most fascinating boleros of
colorful suede with belts or tie
sashes to match. Wear them with
any skirt or dress and you’ll be
classed with the best-dressed.

LATE BELT MODES
IN HUNGARY STYLES
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Every nation has some form ot,
art particular to its people. In Hun
gary, little nation in southern Eu
rope, this folk art takes the form of
exquisite embroidery that has be
come famous throughout the world.
Weisz of Budapest has adapted
the traditional patterns of the peas
ants and styled them for the newest
belt modes. Skilled peasants, both
men and women, have transferred
the gay designs to linen and hand
loomed jute belts.
The linen belts in natural or chalk
white have bright woolen (lowers
embroidered on them. The edges
are finished with a button-hole stitch
of the cheerful yarn. All of them
are finished with amusing and
unique shaped buckles of natural
colored wood, hand-painted with
tiny flowers.
The hand-loomed jute belts that
are perfect with suits, sweaters
and light woolen frocks are also
embroidered in bright yarns.
These belts are washable and of
fast colors. They are in time for
the crepe frocks of spring and sum
mer.
Hats of Youthful Drape
Style Shown by Milliners
Youthful draped hats are the lead
ing contributions of Paris milliners,
and a variety of new designs has
been launched for wear with cos
tumes of leading couture houses.
Still rising skyward with a for
ward movement, the newest hats
have height in modified form to ef
fect a lengthened silhouette without
giving an exaggerated line.
Berets, toques and turned up
brims, worn well back on the head
or poised to one side, are leaders
among the new types.
Body Needs
Plenty of Wafer
By
DR. JAMES W. BARTON
© Bell Syndicate.—WNU Service.
CGENERALLY speaking
I most of us should drink
, about four to six glasses of
water daily, in addition to the
water in foods and in bever
ages such as tea and coffee.
Some idea of the great need of
water in the body can be gathered if
we remember that
every cell is really
like a tiny fish and
must have water to
nourish it, and to
receive and carry
away its wastes.
Fortunately Na
ture had this in
mind because every
foodstuff, no matter
how dry in appear
ance or taste, con
,, . tains some water—
peanuts as low ns 8
per cet and lettuce as high as 90
per cent. Thus even if one drank
no water whatever he could get suf
ficient in foods such as tomatoes,
string beans, cabbage, carrots, ap
ples, oranges and other fruits. Lean
beef contains almost 80 per cent of
water.
Why It Is Necessary.
“Water is necessary to life for
two main reasons—(1) because the
chemical changes required to sus
tain life can take place only when
the reacting substances are dis
solved in water, and (2) because wa
ter is needed for flushing away the
waste products formed from the va
rious processes going on in the
body." Thus the cells from a chick
which Dr. Alexis Carrel has kept
alive for nearly 20 years are en
abled to grow and multiply only be
cause they are kept in a tank of wa
ter containing a little salt which
nourishes the tissues and allows the
waste products to escape into it.
The water is of course changed pe
riodically.
Water also regulates the body
temperature, retaining heat in cold
weather and carrying the heat out
of the body in the form of perspira
tion during hot weather.
There is no hard and fast rule
as to how much water or liquid an
individual should drink daily. If
there is a tendency to cold, a rise
in temperature, an attack of diar
rhoea or vomiting, severe bleeding
or other condition causing a loss of
water from the body, more water
should be taken to replace it. Wa
ter is also very helpful at the be
ginning and during an illness in
carrying wastes from the body
more rapidly. A little salt added
to the water enables the tissues to
hold more water.
Overweight individuals do not
need as much water as those of
average weight as fat tissue holds
more water within it than do other
tissues.

Leave the Normal Fat.
One of the leading heavyweight
wrestlers has a beautiful physique
and is a fast, strong, intelligent,
good-looking fellow. Although his
weight is announced as 202 to 205, it
is likely that his real weight is 10
to 15 pounds less. His muscles stand
out on all parts of the body—the
abdomen like a "washboard,” the
upper back like a rectangle, and
the arms and legs like whipcord.
And he knows how to wrestle.
However as his wrestling engage
ments take him to all parts of the
country, with a great amount of
fast traveling—motor, train, and
airplane—it is just a question how
long his "nerves” will stand up un
der the strain.
Why'
Simply because he may not have
enough fat on and in his body.
If he were a boxer, getting ready
for an important bout, to be down
as "fine” as he is at present would
be wise because the boxer has to
make a certain weight at a definite
time. Also a boxer allows himself
to accumulate a little fat between
bouts.
Practically all the heavyweight I
wrestlers keep themselves comfort
ably overweight—a little layer of
fat covering their muscles. They
lose 5 to 10 pounds during a 30 to
CO minute bout, but have that 5 to 10
pounds back on the body for their
bout the following night. Of course
much of this 5 to 10 pounds that
I comes and goes is made up of liq
[ uids as wrestlers drink a great deal
of water and sometimes beer; very
few if any indulge in hard liquor.
But to enable them to get rid of
this weight, perspire properly dur
ing the bout, and have the weight
back the next evening, there must
be a comfortable layer of fat under
the skin and throughout the body
to hold this water. Every pound of
fat can hold three pounds of water.
Another benefit to the athlete of
a little fat on and in the body and
also the use of a little fat daily in
the diet, is that fat "spares” to
some extent the muscle tissue which
is burned up during the exercise.
That is, fat on or in the body sup
plies the heat and energy during
work or exercise and thus preserves
the muscle tissue—the strength giv
ing or strength part of the body.
Of course when all the fat is used
up and work continues then the
muscles of the body have to supply
the fuel for energy

If You Are Making a Crazy Patch Quilt.
\/fAKING an old fashioned silk
crazy patch quilt is a simply
fascinating thing to do. From
the moment you start collecting
bits of silk and satin and velvet
until the second you invent your
last combination of embroidery
stitches it holds your interest.
This type of quilt is not quilted
after piecing, but tied like a com
forter. No padding is needed if
soft warm material is used for the
foundation. The pieces are always
in irregular shapes—often very
tiny and the largest is seldom
more than four or five inches
long. They are pinned or basted to
a foundation of soft muslin, flan
nel or an old wool blanket is good
to use. One patch shown here is
a piece of ribbon and the selvages
are not turned or covered. It is
best to arrange a number of
patches before you start to sew
them in place with the embroidery
stitches.
The embroidery is really used
to give balance and unity to the
whole design. If a patch seems
too light make it darker by em
broidering it in dark thread. If
it seems too plain you can trace
the little forget-me-not design
shown here onto it and embroider
it in natural colors or use some
of the more simple designs shown
here as fillers.
Many more authentic old patch
work stitches are in a new leaflet
which is now included with the
book offered herewith. This book
also tells you how the draperies in
today’s sketch are interlined.
Every Homemaker should have
a copy of Mrs. Spears’ new book

step-by-step directions foj1 making
slipcovers and dressing tables;
