They have lived for 12 years in their completely equipped trailer, visiting Samoa, Africa, Canada, England, Norway, Sweden and Iceland. Mr. Allsop is a re tired architect who worked and studied hard while he was young, according to his story, so that he and his wife might later indulge their wanderlust. They are each 67 years of age. Newsboy Guest of Metropolitan Opera George Malaiko, 54. Toronto newsboy, has frequently attracted at tention by selling his papers attired in dress clothes and top hat, all set for the opera when his papers were sold.

PARTON NEW YORK. — Mushing along with Jim Titus, an old desert ! rat, about twenty miles southeast | of Tonopah, many years ago, this scrivener was Caae-Hardened alarmed by the Diplomat,Ticket approach of on Key Pittman what seemed to be a savage sandstorm. Old Jim, who seemed to know everything, reassured me. “It’s that young feller Key Pitt man. He’s runnin’ around in that big rattletrap automobile of his : tryin’ to get up a telephone com ^ pany. Just kickin' up a dust—that’s I about all. No peace for anybody | around here.” Mr. Pittman roared on through the greasewood, to set up his new telephone company, sluice a tidy lit tle fortune out of that and sundry mining ventures, and to become chairman of the foreign relations committee of the United States sen ate. He backs up the President. “Why shoot a man when you can starve him to death?” says Mr. Pittman, indorsing the hint of “financial sanctions” against world outlawry In the Presi dent’s address. lie readies his committee for action. In Nome, Alaska, Mr. Pittman was a charter member of the Ornery Men’s club, organized at Tex Rickard’s bar. Years later, Ole Elliott, Tex Rickard’s partner, re organized the club in Tex’s northern saloon in Goldfield. I believe Mr. Pittman’s affiliations were with the Montezuma club, down the street, but he was a highly esteemed alum nus of the Alaska chapter and he found enthusiastic “sourdough” backing in his financial and political enterprises. Since 1913, Nevada has been sending him regularly to the senate. He has been steadily against Japan—that is, against strong arm Japanese trade and mili tary aggression—and quite as fervently for silver. Well up in the headlines today is the conjecture that the President’s new trade and credit militancy will move first in the direction of Japan. Born in Mississippi, educated in Tennessee, practicing law in Seattle, Mr. Pittman landed in Dawson, Alaska, with a Canadian dime in his pocket. He manned a unilateral bucksaw for a few months before he was appointed district attorney. Jack London and Rex Beach found in him a rich pay streak of copy.

He is the Rev. Father John Peter Boland, chair man of the unique New York State Labor Relations board since June, 1937. During his incumbency, New York has attracted the attention of the nation in its industrial media- I tion. “Stop them before they get started” is his formula, as he quotes the pope’s encyclical, ad vising priests to "go to the workingman.” When he was ap pointed to his present post, he retired from his parishes of St. Lucy and St. Coluniba, with the blessing of his bishop, the Rev. John A. Duffy of Buffalo. He became profoundly interested in techniques of labor mediation while studying for the priest hood in Rome. He urges regu lar meetings between employers and employees and continuous and constructive effort, rather than emergency action when trouble comes. \\7 HEN the young German im migrant. Max J.

The policeman, who happened to speak German, steered him into a carpenter’s job, and, before long, he was buying and building hotels with the facility of a child handling building blocks. That i was the only time he ever slept out. Last May, his wife, Maria Kramer, bought the 30-story Hotel Lincoln for $7,000,000 cash, tooling it over into the black in less than six months. She is a linguist, has made a career as a fashion expert and interior decorator, Mr. Kramer, who had $3.50 when he landed, built more than 500 tene ments, and, in 1925, had more than $10,000,000 worth of buildings under construction.

They are beauties and no mistake about it A gay little frock of one of these refreshing, inspiring new prints under your fur coat and you will not only be “.seeing the world through rose-colored glasses” but you will radiate cheer for others wherever you go. Perhaps the most exciting thing about the first prints to come upon the scene is their eye-appealing colorings. You’ll love the new Per sian types that fashion is spotlight ing throughout early showings. All aglow they are with luminous reds and rich purples and exotic yellows, blues and greens sometimes with a dash of black or white but not al ways. Then there are the perennial bay adere stripes. You will admire ev ery inch of them because of the newness expressed in designful and colorful ways. It is not only that the new prints are so delectably colorful that they lay siege to your heart, for the de signers who are making up these in triguing silks into frocks are prov ing nothing less than color-inspired. The striking models pictured con vey timely and significant fashion news. These dresses designed by International, are the type carefree resorters are choosing to pack for their winter holiday in warmer climes or that will take on a festive air under winter furs of the stay at-home set. The hand-blocked silk bayadere print to the left is the sort that will see you through all but the most formal dates, being a casual type Many Pockets 11 there is one thing more than another that fashion promisee for forthcoming suits, dresses and blouses, it’s pockets, pockets, pock ets! It is not only that pockets are added from the utility standpoint but designers are trimming with pockets with wild abandon, crowd ing them into space wherever op portunity presents. The voguish suit pictured is a gray wool tailleur with a novel pocket arrangement that carries a sure message of "style.” The black silk kerchief knotted at the throat is tres chic. that fits into most any environs on and off the ship, if you go cruising. If you are left behind in the ex odus to southern climes you will get wear out of it under winter furs and later on into the spring. It has a simple collarless neckline, fastens from throat to hem with little brass buttons. Cartridge pleats at the shoulder line and unpressed pleats for skirt fullness testify to a new emphasis placed upon the use of pleatings of every description. A beautiful job was done by Inter national in combining gay-colored pure silk Persian print with black silk crepe for the frock to the right in the illustration. The softly crushed, yet snugly-fitted corselet waistline was inspired by Alix, and here we have it closed up the front with gold metal hooks and eyes. The softly draped skirt is split to reveal just enough of the print to make it interesting. The deep V neckline is one of the most flatter ing, whether worn by debutantes or their mothers. The daring things done with color in the advance print fashions is amazing. For instance one of the prettiest frocks in the new collec tions uses a purple crepe panel brought down to the hemline from one shoulder and an American beauty red crepe panel comes down from the other shoulder. These tie over a silk print foundation dress that repeats these colorings in its floral patterning. Equally impor tant are modest necktie prints using tiny conventional motifs in a mo saic of vivid colors. Also new are the types that print one color on a monotone background such as yel low on black or navy, or brown on beige or light green on dark ground and so on. © Western Newspaper Union. Cunning Pockets Adorn New Styles Designers have developed a pas sion for pockets used in a decora tive as well as useful way. The new tailored suits have so many on the jackets one almost loses count of them. They have a way of ani mating the costume without disturb ing the strictly tailored aspect, and it is amazing how expertly they are injected into the scheme of design and so ingeniously too. as to be al most amusing at times. A perfectly charming vogue is foretold in the dark crepe day frocks that are enlivened with white lingerie touches that especially cen ter about little pockets made of white organdy or »ique or rows of dainty Va) lace, these matched to neckwear and sleeve finishings. These clever little feminizing de vices trim blouses and skirts as well. —■ f Head Scarf With Matching Mittens If the mother of your favorite adolescent protests over the peasant head kerchief style these cold morn ings, you might play the role of mediator and present the girl with a fuzzy angora head scarf, smart enough to charm any high school critic, and warm enough to keep the wintry winds from nipping her ears.
