The student flying this low wing monoplane 'is
one of 410 graduates to complete the basic phase
of their flight training at Randolph Field, Texas.

more, Richard 0. Joyce, Albert Jones, Marion Ca-
ruthers, Carl Ousley, Herbert Glover, La Rue Sor
rell, and Frank Rubino.

Right Dress! Present Arms!
Yale student trainees " preparing
for the president's review, in
which all units of the Yale ROTC
parade before President Charles
Seymour of Yale university. Were
cautioned and advised in a curt
official order on the amenities of
behavior and correct dress.
As issued the order was a far
cry from the independent dress
habits of Yale men who are ac
customed to wearing clothes that
effect a studied nonchalance and
an air of insouciance.
The order read as follows: "All
hands be sure cap covers, collars,
and shirts are clean and fit prop
erly. Black leather shoes must be
worn and must be shined. The Ar
row "Duncan" style collar is rec
ommended as beirg of good cut
and proper height. Have your uni
forms cleaned and pressed this
week. Leggings will be worn for
this review. Every man must real
ize his own responsibility for: The
correct execution of movements,
dress in line and covering in file,
and for the correct position and
alignment of his rifle. Remember
the instructions you have received
and carry them out."
Though this notice proved to be
a blow to the student devotees of
the bulging Dover-type, button
down collar, the promulgators of
odd tronser and coat combina
tions, the non-hat wearers, the
advocates of white and two-toned
ditty shoes, all nevertheless hap
pily conformed to the pattern. The
order was followed to the letter
and mustering proceeded as or
dered, despite the soul-searing ef
fects of this regulation upon the
more sensitive Yale style leaders
who take pride in their individual
ity in clothing.

Prehistoric soil erosion, unlike

as a chapter in a three volume
treatise on the "Geology of North

NEW YORK CITY. (ACP).
Presidents of the four city colleges
Brooklyn, Hunter, City aid
Queens have requested faculty
members to criticize the regula
tions under which they teach and
to suggest changes.
The request is the first step in
revision of the bonrd of higher edu
cation's "democracy" by-laws. The
by-laws, put. into operation in
1938. reorganized administration
of the colleges by taking powers
from the presidents and lodging
in the faculties the power and re
sponsibility for governing the
schools. At the time they were
passed they were hailed as "the
Magna Charta of the college
teacher."
The by-laws affect some 2.000
teachers and provide for depart
mental control of the curriculum,
faculty collaboration with presi
dents in preparation of budgets,
and committees within each aca
demic department to control rec
ommendations for new staff ap
pointments and promotions.

chology that manufacturers of
dresses, purses and shoes use in
their advertising.
"Fashion Is Spinach" is the in
teresting story of how Miss Hawes
was converted, after 26 years,
from believing that "All beautiful
clothes are made in the houses of
French couturieres and all women
want them" to "All beautiful
clothes are not made in France.
American women can have beau
tiful clothes without being there.
The secret of pleasing American
women lies in mass production."
Americans originate styles.
On July 4. 1931, the author of
this book presented the first all
American fashion show ever held
on the European continent ThU
represented the first attempt by
American designers to originate
their own styles, not copy them
from "exclusive" French models
and the show was a huge success.
Returning to the United States
Miss Hawes opened her own shop
in New York City and in her own
words "began to learn things
about American women and their
clothes." Designer Hawes believes
that although French designers,
so-called "experts," say that
"beautiful clothes change regu
larly every six months," she is
firmly convinced that fashion
changes approximately every two
years, while style changes every
seven years.
Mass production.
The author gives her reason for
believing that American women
can and will have beautiful clothes
as "we are the only country in
the world which can produce gar
ments in masses... any woman in
America can buy a Chanel dress
for whatever amount she has to
spend, from $3.75 to $375."
This mass production, added to
an amplification of the French
legend that "all American women
want their clothes to be approved
by Fashion, whether the clothes
are done by couterieres or on a
mass-production line. is the
method used to please buyers."
Closing words.
Miss Hawes closes her book with
these words, "although I am en
gaged in the clothing business in
America. . .where the public wor
ries over whether its skirt is the
prescribed length, and the manu
facturer worries about how fullj
the skirt is to be, where Fashion
is God, I have more fun because
. . .1 say: FASHION IS SPINACH.
"Fashion may perish one day. . .
if it doesn't, something else will
transpire. The American woman
has been laboring under an excess
of fashion f or only a few decades.
Eventually she will look inside
Fashion's bright cellophane wrap
per before she buys the contents.
"She will seriously consider the
quality and the usefulness of the
very newest thing, the epitome of
all chic, the height of all glamor.
She will settle comfortaby back
in an old sweater and skirt and
idly remark to ninety percent of
what she seees: I SAY TO HELL
WITH IT."
