NEW YORK —When Oliver Stan
ley left the British ministry of
transport in July, 1934, he was suc
ceeded by 30-year-old Leslie Hore
Belisha, a
Oliver Stanley Simonlte lib
Weart Hard Hat eral. Then
On a Hard Head !,nd luhereaft
er, they en
gaged in many brisk parries and
sharp ripostes, masters of the foil
rather than the quarterstafT, brisk
and finished swordsmen both. Now
it is the ultra-conservative Mr.
Stanley who replaces Mr. Hore
Belisha as war secretary, against
a confused background, requiring
more details for full understanding
—at least at this distance.
On October 8 of last year, Mr.
Stanley offered his resignation as
president of the British board of
trade. At the time, it was indicated
that Mr. Stanley had not found
Prime Minister Chamberlain's pros
ecution of the war sufficiently ag
gressive, but later reports were that
he had revolted against the control
of the government by an inner cab
inet of four members. He was per
suaded to withdraw his resigna
tion.
His political alliances have
been with the conservative sec
tion of the army, who vehement
ly opposed the appointment of
Mr. Hore-Bellsha to the war of
lice, early in 1937. Some of the
“appeasement” wing of the
Chamberlain government were
bitter critics of Mr. Hore
Bclisha’s subsequent army
shakcup, In which he sent many
oldsters back to their club
chairs. It is possibly this cir
cumstance which has led to con
jecture that Mr. Stanley’s ap
pointment foreshadows a new
rapprochement between ex
treme right elements in Eng
land and Germany, the elimina
tion of Adolf Hitler and a new
basis for peace.
Mr. Stanley’s activities since Mu
nich haven't indicated that he is out
for nppeasement. However, it is
clear that the colonel blimps of the
army don’t like Mr. Hore-Belisha
and do like Mr. Stanley.
He is the secretive, tight-lipped
son of the genial, talkative seventh
earl of Derby. He gathered some
shining medals in the World war
and was parliamentary under-secre
tary in the war office, minister of
transport, minister of labor and
president of the board of education,
before becoming president of the
British board of trade. As indicated
above, he is a fencer rather than a
hard-hitter. He is fifty-four years
of age.

Since the start of the desert bat

Lovely New Wash Prints Make
It Pun to Sew for Children
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
r'VOTTNG mothers that take pride
in decking out little daughters
at first hint of spring in refreshingly
colorful prints, hurry up and take
a look at the lovely materials just
out. We’ll wager that at very first
peep at the new wash fabric show
ings you will be convinced that
there’s nothing in the world you so
long to do this very minute ns to
sei the spring sewing program in
motion.
Time was when buying cotton and
other washable weaves was more or
less of a gamble. In those days the
shrink and fade bugaboo was for
ever taking the joy out of life. Now
in these modern times, because of
scientific processing that carries
with it a guarantee of non-fade and
non-shrink, the “will it wash” query
no longer challenges the patience
tried salesperson.
It certainly is a grand and glori
ous feeling for mothers to know that
the dress they have so painstakingly
made will not prove a case of
“love’s labor lost” in that hems
won’t have to be frantically let
down nor sleeve lengths altered,
neither will buttons have to be set
over after the dress comes back
from the wash. It’s a wise mother
that asks for guaranteed wash ma
terials to make up for her child.
Then, too, little daughters come
in for a share of good fortune in
that no longer will they have to be
submitted to the humiliating ordeal
of wearing a dress bought, or made,
that is a size too large in order to
allow for shrinking.
This year attractive broadcloths
with floral overprinting are catch
ing the eye. Add wearableness to
their prettiness and you will readily
see why this fabric is so popular.
Tailored printed shantung broad
cloths and charming striped cottons
in fast colors all preshrunk to keep
their original fit permanently are
selling fast as they can be meas
ured off in dress lengths.
If you are looking for wash mate
rials that carry a promise of wear
ability, washability, dependability
and likability consider the dainty lit
tle frocks pictured. Each is fash
ioned of sanforized-shrunk fabric.
The merry little three-year-old pic
tured to the right wearing a broad
cloth dress with floral overprinting
is laughing at the thought of the
cunning patch pockets that draw up
and tie with pique cording. She is
proud, too, that her dress ties in
the back with a big bow of self
fabric. The dress is trimmed with
a pleating of pique around the neck
and sleeves. Though the closing is
in the back, there are three small
red buttons down the front of the
bodice.
Sister Ann who sits in the window
(centered in the group) wears a
tailored shantung broadcloth dress
trimmed with hw.d-fagoted pique
collar and cuffs.
The dress for the “between” age,
shown to the left, takes on some
what of a party air. The soft blue
and pink colorings of the floral
striped broadcloth (so fine it has a
sheen like silk) is delicate and be
coming to blonde or brunette. There
is a fashionable inset corselet belt,
thus raising the waistline so that
the skirt will swing gracefully if
or when she dances.

Novel Knit Items
The idea of a sweater with a hood
carries big appeal. This gay cardi
gan is knit of a heavy yet soft
yarn, and on large needles so that
the fetching checked pattern devel
opes magically fast. Such pretty
combinations as red with white,
black with green, wine with post
j man blue are suggested. The solid
colored hood is knitted separately.
It may be worn either as a hood or
a collar. The little headpiece be
low is a streamlined version of the
! closefltting knitted hood. However,
it eliminates all superfluous bulk,
and is very attractive.
Costume Sweaters
Spring Into Style
A new type of sweater, which is
neither a tailofed sports style nor
an elaborate evening affair, has
sprung into fashion. These are the
sweaters that combine with sepa
rate skirts to make smart street
frocks. They are most attractive
when chosen in a color to match
that of the skirt.
Made of novelty knits and ribbed
yarns, they are notable for their
unusual shoulder and yoke detail.
Some of them have flapped pockets
in the Schiaparelli manner with but
tons of gold nuggets or shiny flat
gold circles on the pocket flaps and
down the front. Some of them fas
ten with bright enameled or gold
colored slide fasteners.
Skating Ensemble
Is Very Fetching
A skating ensemble is made of
soft white yarn hand-embroidered
with bright wool. There’s a snug
white cardigan sweater with peas
ant figures embroidered on panels
on either side of the front open
ing, and matching white mittens
with a single design on their back.
The close-fitting hood ties under the
chin and has embroidered wings
like a Dutch cap standing out on
either side of the face.
Picturesque Wraps
Inspired by the picturesque fash
ions of the South in Civil war day*
is the group of evening wraps shown
by an American designer.
Gray for Day and Evening
From soft dove shades to dark
gunmetal tones gray is an impor
tant color for every sort of daytime
and evening outfit.
Suede Sports Jacket
Fine stitching is the blouse-like de
tail borrowed by a fitted suede
sports jacket to give it a dressy
appearance.
‘CAUGHT
CRIBBING*
86
By JACK FFANLEY
(McChire Syndicate—WNU Service.)
^tT ISN’T,” said Helene virtu
I ously, “as though you were
hurting anybody. After all,
what’s a little crib?” She
was busy as she spoke filling the
under side of a candy-box lid with
chemical formulae written in tiny
cnaracters.
“There!” she announced. "And
will I eat gum drops at the exam
I tomorrow!”
Her room-mate sighed, and turned
very large and very Innocent gray
eyes to a small rectangle of pink
I paper half-covered with dates and
data.
“To think,” she announced, “that
four years ago I thought a crib was
| something babies slept in.”
“All the girls are doing it, Anne;
why flunk?”
Helene surveyed her handiwork
| with satisfaction.
“There! That ought to cover most
any question in the chem exam.”
“It does seem a shame . . .”
Anne looked a little wistful again.
“What’s a shame?”
"To crib on Professor Winton—
he’s so nice.”
“Not nice enough to pass you in
history, darling. And you may need
that credit to graduate in June,
you know.”
“Yes,” sighed Anne. “I know.”
And she returned to her task, writ
ing down significant dates and facts
while her mind was on the broad
shoulders and friendly brown eyes
of young Professor Winton.
The next day Helene and Anne
passed one another on the campus.
"Anne! I just finished—it was a
cinch!”
She gleefully displayed the candy
box, now half empty.
“I’ll probably be sick from gum
drops—but I’ll pass chem!”
“I’m going to the history exam
now—wish me luck.”
“You’ll have luck—you’ll pass.”
Helene winked and giggled, and
scurried on.
Anne walked slowly to the class
room.
It occurred to her that, graduat
ing in another month, there would
be no more college—and no more
Professor Robert Winton, Ph. D.
Only Anne thought of him as Bob.
He stood gravely at the head of
the class in the slightly awesome
hush that precedes the beginning of
a final examination.
The blue-covered notebooks had
been distributed and Professor Win
ton twisted a pencil idly in his fin
gers as he studied the assorted
young faces before him.
"Young ladies," he said in the
deep-pitched voice that sent delight
ful chills running down Anne’s
spine, "in a few moments we are
going to begin your final exam. I
understand that ‘cribbing,’ common
ly known as cheating, is not un
heard of here at Varney. I should
dislike intensely finding any of you
engaged in such an unsportsman
like procedure. I prefer to believe
that none of you intend it. If dis
covered it will naturally be severely
dalt with."
His steady gaze swept the room
and Anne reddened, miserably. Oth
er faces dropped and still others
looked guilelessly ahead.
“That’s all.”
The exam was on.
Anne studied the printed list of
questions, her mind in a turmoil.
They were not particularly hard,
but it seemed each time her eyes
rose they met the accusing look of
Bob Winton.
"Give the dates and the economic
significance of the war ...”
Her mind wouldn’t co-ordinate.
Her dainty gold fountain pen
paused while she slipped the com
pact from her purse—opened it and
added powder to her straight little
nose.
A little later came another impos
sible question and Anne hauled out
the compact again, touched up her
lips and looked at the mirror for a
long interval before replacing it.
Half a dozen times she did this,
and finally she had finished.
She placed the examination book
on Winton’s desk and turned to go
when his voice stopped her.
’ ‘Miss Duncan! ” Quietly—ominous
ly, she thought. "May I see you
in my office before you leave?”
Anne went red, then white.
"Of course,” she mumbled, a plea
in her eyes. In a short time all the
books were in and she was facing
Professor Winton across his desk in
the office.
His eyes held hers, steadily, and
Anne wondered whether it was con
tempt or pity she read in them.
"Miss Duncan, there was cribbing
on the examination we have just
finished. Unfortunately I was un
able to catch anyone red-handed,
and I don’t fancy myself in the role
of detective.”
He looked at her awhile.
"Were you among them?”
Anne flushed, dropped her eyes
and shook her head.
"No, B . . . Professor Winton.”
"I don’t like to think so, Miss
Duncan. But . . .”
He met her eyes squarely.
"May I see your compact?”
Anne’s lips parted suddenly with
a little gasp.
"Oh ... I couldn’t . . . !”
“You realize how guilty that
sounds. I should like to reassure
mySelf—that you wouldn't cheat.
Miss Duncan ”
Anne’s red lower lip trembled for
■ a moment, then she laid the com*
j pact on his desk and turned away
her head. Winton opened it, slowly,
and then he reddened at the sight of
his own face looking out from a pic
ture that had been pasted over the
mirror.
“Oh . . . Miss Duncan . . . Anne
... I—I didn’t ...”
He placed an embarrassed hand
on her arm.
She pulled away with a little sob.
“Please! I—I don’t want to talk
to you,” she wailed.
“But . . .” his voice sounded
close to her ear, "I had no idea you
thought of me at all, Anne dear. I’v,. ;
been crazy about you since the first
day you walked into my class."
“Really!” Anne turned, an incred
ulous smile on her lips, eyes still
misted with tears.
“Oh . . , Bob!" After a happy in
terval she pulled away and sat for
ward in her chair. A tiny splinter
caught her skirt; held it as she
slipped forward exposing a rounded,
dimpled knee in sheer silk and sev
eral inches above.
“I c-cut your picture out of the
yearbook, Bob and . . .” she
stopped seeing his eyes widen and
his jaw tighten; following his look
at her knee. She pulled her skirt
down, blushing furiously, but not j
before he saw the small date-cov
ered paper under the stocking just
above the knee.
“I see,” he said slowly. “I’m—
really sorry Anne.”
His eyes looked deeply hurt.
“I didn’t think you’d . . . cheat.
And lie—to me.”
Anne was crying openly now.
“B-but I didn't! Oh Bob—truly, I
didn't. I was going to, but when I
saw you looking at me ... I j-just
. . . c-couldn't look at my notes.
You—looked so—so—accusing!”
“It wouldn’t matter, Anne dear.
But I—I couldn’t stand to think
you'd deliberately lie . . . to
me ...”
“L-look at my book,” she sniffed.
“You’ll see—I flunked. But I didn’t
. . . cheat.”
The answers were all there; all
wrong. Anne flunked history but
she passed everything else and grad
uated in June. And Professor and
Mrs. Winton are now one of the
most popular young couples on the
faculty.
And Anne Winton hasn’t given up
cribs; she’s preparing one now. A
nice, white enameled one, for Bob
Winton Jr.

Grand Canyon Has Rival
In Scenic Idaho Valley
A plan to develop a sightseeing
rival to the Grand canyon of the
Colorado is being evolved by Idaho
engineers, who hope to make a na
tional park of the Hell’s canyon sec
tion of the mile-deep Snake river
gorge.
These engineers say the Snake
river canyon exceeds by nearly
1,500 feet the depth of either the
Grand canyon of the Colorado or
the Rio Grande.
Where the Snake river forms the
boundary between Idaho, Washing
ton and Oregon, it twists like a ser
pent through a jumble of towering
mountains, eroded earth and broken
rocks.
This rugged and almost inacces
sible wilderness is flanked by the
Wallowa mountains on the west and
by the Seven Devils mountains on
the Idaho side. It can be crossed
only by boat through the treacher
ous waters of the Snake itself. The
waterway is filled with rapids, falls
and whirlpools.
Only a handful of white men ever
have negotiated the river from
Weiser to Lewiston, Idaho. Now en
gineers visualize a $12,000,000 all
weather highway along the river
bank. This would provide a shorter
route to the sea for tourists and
open to development vast stores of
mineral wealth, it is claimed.
The Idaho Planning Board co
operated with Oregon officials in an
effort to get the federal government
to make a national park of the area
as the first step toward its develop
ment.
The elevation of the river through
the Hell's canyon varies from 710
feet above sea level at Lewiston to
2,100 feet at Weiser, Idaho. The
canyon ranges to a depth, from
peaks to river level, of 6,700 feet.
The Grand canyon of the Colorado
surpasses the Snake river canyon
in the variety of its colorings, but
the matter has a greater assem
blage of scenic features of another
nature.
Rugged mountain peaks, capped
with snow, rise on each side. Out
croppings of granite, limestone,
quartz, marble and lava rock etch
weirdly shaped panoramas against
the sky.
Huge deposits of copper, iron,
lead and other ores were prospect
ed in the .area, but without facilities
for transporting to the outside, they
proved worthless.
Plantings Aid House Design
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon the usefulness of plant
ing as an aid to the design of small
houses.
Trees and shrubbery may be ad
vantageously used to enhance the
architectural character of any home.
Shade trees should be placed so that
they will both furnish shade from
the hot afternoon sun and frame the
house.
Rapidly growing, heavy feeding
shade trees, such as poplars and
willows, should be avoided as the
roots are apt to clog sewer and
drain lines. Moreover, they are
quick to extract all the nutriment
from the soil, making it difficult to
grow either a lawn or other plant
ing material near them.

Safety Quips
The two greatest errors in
driving are taking a blind curve
too fast and taking a curve that
isn’t there.
Better 10 minutes too late in
this world than 30 years too
soon in the next.
Keep your hands on the wheel
—soft shoulders are dangerous.
Some motorists can make 60
miles an hour a lot easier than
they can make 12 payments on
the car.
The dullest drivers have the
brightest headlights.
After you get to the office, do
you tear into your work as fast
as you speeded there in your
automobile?
Crossing Signs
A Houston road-sign painter
suggests the following signs for
railroad crossings:
“Come ahead. You’re unimpor
tant.”
“Try our engines. They satis
fy.”
“Don’t stop. Nobody will miss
you.”
“Take a chance. You can get hit
by a train only once.”
Pull the Trigger on
Constipation, and
Pepsin-ize Acid Stomach Too
When constipation brings on acid indi
gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated
tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your
stomach is probably loaded up with cer
tain undigested food and your bowels don't
move. So you need both Pepsin to help
break up fast that rich undigested food in
your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull
the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be
sure your laxative also contains Pepsin.
Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its
Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won
derful stomach-relief, while the Laxative
Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the
power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of
undigested protein food which may linger
in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric
acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin
izing your stomach helps relieve it of such
distress. At the same time this medicine
! wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your
bowels to relieve your constipation. So see
how much better you feel by taking the
laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on
that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin
icky children love to taste this pleasant
family laxative. Buy Dr. Caldwell’s Lax
ative-Senna with Syrup Pepsin at your
