Self-Defense Program
In these days when the doctrine that “might is right seems to
be enjoying a boom, individuals as well as nations seem to need a
self-defense program. The ideal technique of defense for the aver
age man or woman is jiu-jitsu. In this series of photos, made at the
Bothner Gymnasium in New York, Lou Leonard, physical director,
and Miss Swann Marlou' enact the two attack and defense sequences.
1. As a first step in her self-de
fense program. Miss Marlow
blocks the blow of Lous
cudgel with her forearm. ,
2. She presses the arm back,
grips his biceps with her
right hand and shifts her right
foot behind his right foot.
3. Then it is just a matter of
applying pressure, quickly.
One smart jerk and Lou is
thrown off his feet.
4. And down he goes, flat on his
back. An opponent thrown
with such force usually has
the fight knocked out of him.

Famous in Triplicate
INURING the recent celebration of
“I Am an American" Day, a
group of church dignitaries and
members of the American Legion
gathered at a monument in the little
city of Carrollton, Mo., to pay trib
ute to a man who has been called
the “most honored American." His
name was James E. Shields and he
is described on the monument as a
“soldier, jurist and statesman.”
But those three words are only a
slight indication of the factors which
made his career so remarkable. A
quotation from a recent book, James
Gray’s “The Illinois," a volume in
the “Rivers of America” series,
published by Farrar and Rinehart,
sums it up more adequately. It
says: “With a thoroughness charac
teristic of his executive tempera
ment, James E. Shields seems to
have done everything in triplicate.
He fought in three wars and repre
sented three different states as Unit
ed States senator.” No other Ameri
can, it might be added, holds such a
record.
Bom in Dungannon, County Ty
rone, Ireland, in 1810, Shields came
to this country at the age of 18. He
enlisted in the army, served in the
Seminole Indian war, then went to
Illinois, where he was elected to
the legislature in 1836, made state
auditor in 1839 and appointed a judge
of the State Supreme court in 1843.
Two years later he was appointed
commissioner of the general land
BRIG. GEN. JAMES E. SHIELDS
office, but gave up civil life at the
outbreak of the Mexican war to ac
cept a commission as brigadier gen
eral of Illinois volunteers in 1846.
Shot through the lung at the Battle
of Cerro Gordo and brevetted major
general, after his recovery he served
in the Valley of Mexico as com
mander of a brigade, only to be
wounded severely again at the
storming of Chapultepec.
Mustered out of the service on
July 20, 1848, he was immediately
appointed territorial governor of Or
egon, but resigned this office when
he was elected senator from Illinois.
He served in the senate from 1849,
to 1855, then moved to Minnesota.
When the state government was
organized there he was again sent
to the United States senate where
he remained until 1859. He next
moved to California, and at the out
break of the Civil war he was com
missioned a brigadier general of
volunteers in August, 1861. At the
Battle of Kernstown, Shields was
wounded, receiving a broken arm
from a fragment of shell.
On March 28, 1863, weakened by
the wounds which he had suffered
in two wars, Shields resigned from
the army. Going to California he
found that the lands granted to him
for his military services had been
lost by his trusted agent and he
bought a farm near Carrollton, Mo.
Although he had decided to retire
from public life, he was soon back
into politics. In 1868 he was Demo
cratic candidate for congress, and
although his friends declared that he
had been elected, he was not seated.
, Six years later they elected him to
the legislature, and upon the expira
tion of his term, the general, aged,
weakened and impoverished, sought
the humble position of door-keeper
of the United States senate.
But this was denied him and hej
returned to Missouri. That state!
promptly honored him by electing
him to the senate. He held this posi
tion until his death, which took place
on June 1, 1879, at Ottumwa, Iowa.

One of the most famous Incidents
In Shields’ career was his “duel” j
with Abraham Lincoln while he was
state auditor. Lincoln wrote an
anonymous letter to the Illinois State
Journal, ridiculing the financial pol
icies of Shields who challenged him
to a duel. Lincoln accepted but chose
as weapons cavalry broadswords
and specified that the fighting be
done over a plank set in the ground
i with the duellists standing on op
! posite sides "at the distance of the
i whole length of the sword and three
I feet additional." They didn’t fight!

Chic Prints Feature Flowers
In Colorful Wide-Spaced Motifs
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
THIS season the
new look for
prints is carried in
big florals that dra
matically splash and dash vivid
color in wide-spaced motifs. Nor
is the technique and the eye
dazzling color confined to evening
prints. While it is true that gor
geous prints of the type described
have gone “tops” for party and for
other formal evening wear, it is also
true that big flowers patterned in
few and far-between motifs are the
newsiest news of all in regard to
materials for smart afternoon
frocks.
What’s more the craze for huge,
wide-spaced flower prints is also re
flected in sportswear fashions. Even
if the material itself is not printed
the latest gesture of fashion is to
make pajama ensembles that have
long semi-fltted jackets (some with
a tunic flare) of quality-kind white
crepe, splotching them here and
there with applique of huge florals
cut out of madly colorful silk print.
As yet these flower-applique outfits
are shown only in exclusive collec
tions but the fashion is one that will
gain in momentum with a rush. You
can get stunning prints with huge
Hawaiian designs that yield cutout
motifs for applique that are both
beautiful and unique.
For the most part the new big
flower prints run to hand-blocked
types of exclusive and individual
type. Flower-printed sharkskin is
the "last word" in chic. It is espe
cially good style in white with a
background of enormous clumps of
flowers spaced widely apart and
fairly vibrating with heetic color.
Lovely little afternoon dresses made
of this new sharkskin print are be
ing shown in the shops.
Necessarily these strikingly be
flowered prints have to be made up
very simple, whether for day or eve
ning, but it is with a sophisticated
simplicity that is purposefully
planned In order to give accent to
the beauty of the fabric. The dresses
to the right and left in the picture
illustrate this idea. The stately fig
ure standing to the right is gowned
in an evening creation styled of a
splashy tulip print on a white back
ground. The maximum of dramatic
effect is reached in the clever use of
applique cutouts from this splashy
tulip print placed at the upper left
side of the bodice. Again tulip ap
plique repeats at the shirred waist
line. Note the chic long sleeves that
are tightly fitted below the elbow.
The afternoon dress to the left is
a hand-block print in red, green and
gray against a white ground. In
her hand this lady of fashion holds
a chalk white felt off-face hat
Bright days ahead are promised
by the perfectly charming flowered
print dress centered in the picture.
This multi-colored floral print is a
pure silk crepe which makes it out
standing because best dressed wom
en are insisting upon genuine qual
ity-kind silk. Another important
message in this gown is the trim
ming formed of quilted flowers (cut
from the print itself) that edges the
sleeves and neckline and goes me
andering down the front of the simu
lated jacket top of this one-piece
dress that looks like a two-piece. It
also delineates the jacket edge
around the hipline. This is one of
the gay flower types that is very good
style for day frocks and seen in the
original it is strikingly colorful. As
to the hat worn with this winsome
frock it is one of the very wide
brims such as fashion decrees for
summer.
Chinese prints with legendary de
sign and in authentic colors present
a fascinating new trend of thought.
Some designers are even going so
far as to create dresses in the
straight, slim Chinese lines thus em
phasizing the native source of inspi
ration.

White Jewelry Accents

The two are playing a duet this sum
mer The new white plastic jewelry,

tering, giving a fresh accent to dark
dresses. Take a look at the new

Gay Peasant Blouses

of native Hawaiian, South American
or Mexican, it will delight your
heart to visit the blouse sections and
See the grand array of peasant
inspired blouses to be had.

flattering fashions of the present

ing lingerie touches. There is no
greater favorite on the list of neck
wear types than the youthful looking

Race on the Square
Many western fairs and rodeos
feature a horse race that cannot
be fixed. Although the jockeys do
not ride their own horses, being
made to exchange mounts before
the race, each man tries to finish
first and, thereby, help his own
horse win. The last one in is the
winner.
