POLICY WHICH IS ENTIRELY
AND DEFINITELY BUILT OF and
grounded in the Welfare of the COM
monwealth needs no defense from a
humble citizen-but they are calcul-
ated to eradicate the wholly false i'm
preston which exists to some extent
that the policy of National Defense
has only to do with war. 1t is. in
fact, our biggest peace time measure
with its fundamental principle, the
securing of the blessings of liberty to
ourselves and our children.
The National Defense Act was
passed by Congress in 1920 at the
earnest solicitation Of many thinking
American men, foremost among these
being the leaders of the American
Legion. This act is non-partisan; it
is national in characted and is based
on tradition and principles that are
truly American. 1t interprets not
only the lessons of the World War
but the lessons of all our wars. 1t
proves a means of "insuring domestic
tranquility and providing for the
common defense"-a means which is
founded as deep in the spirit of the
Minute Men" as it is in the heart of
the veteran of the World War. 1t is
our pledge to the men who won our
national independence and gave US
our National Government that if call
ed upon in the future we will be ready
to preserve the one and maintain the
other.
1t provides for the development in
time of peace of an Army that can be
used in time of war. 1t contemplates
five channels of military activity, as
follows:
l. The regular Army.
2. The National Guard.
8. The organized reserves, includ-
ing the officers reserve corps and the
enlisted reserve corps.
4. The reserve officers training
corps, Familiarity known as the R. 0.
T. C.
5. The Citizens Military Training
Camps.
In this scheme of National Defense,
Ine uIlloH OIL IHe SdulLeu IeScINe III
time of peace is to provide partially
organized and partially trained units
which may be readily expanded to
war strength and completely trained
in time of emergency and which in
combination with the regular army
and national guard will provide an
adequate, balanced and effective force
sufficient to meet any national emer-
gency declared by Congress.
The National Defense Act provides
the minimum of defense measures
deemed necessary by the greatest ex-
perts of our people. 1t was con-
ceived with Difference to our national
desire for peace, and with full know
ledge of our traditions and ideals.
We, the American People, have every
reason to be grateful for this law
but, let US be on guard, lest the men

When people laugh and sing and

II YOU look so well in simple things that
your natural desires for more dressy
effects have been disturbingly suppressed,
you will find peace of mind and chic
in this frock. For it is made on those
becomingly simple lines, yet with such
skilful cut and finish that it achieves an
unusually rich and naughty air. The
Medici sleeves fall loosely above the
elbow and then fit smoothly into the
tight cuff, while the frock blouses smartly
above the hips and then falls straight and
slim from the novel double belt, with an
inverted plat in front for fulness. A
beige or green satin crepe with cuffs and
collar trim ned in old-gold metallic braid
gould be charming, a3 would a heavy
crepe de Chine or a light velvet with
sleeves of sheer material.

Many of the best skirts are in tiers these
days, mourning, no doubt, for the lengths
to which they used to go. But just to
show how gladly it has adopted current
chic, this skirt stops its tiers three-quar-
ters If the way around, leaving a plain
pane down the back of the frock. Tha
waise is likewise in the swing, with its
smart blousing above the narrow tie
belt, and with the graceful line of the bat
wing sleeves. A youthful combination
for tins frock would be a skirt of black
satin crepe with blouse Of cherry red; Oh
q ricl. blue for the crepe de Chine Of the
skirt and-with touch of silver thread
for the e. Oidery on the lighter blue
blouse.

In ABOUT 1890 some one might write a
book on "The Two-Piece Frock: Its
Origin and Its Future" Those of Us
who struggled through the shirt-waist-
tucked-under-the-skirt era have some idea
of the origin, but who can guess the future
of this ever-varying fashion speciesr
The author who contemplates writing
this history would do well to preserve
the above illustration as representing one
of the most outstandingiy attractive
versions Of the two-piece frOck m 1874.

THIS modern young girl believes in being
free from all dictates, except from those
of Fashion. In fact she is so captivated
by smart style that she wears a tock
with a yoke. This is a pleasure, for the
yoke is new and most Interestingly cut,
being V-shaped in front and slashed for
a-tie, while il back it follows an unusual
and attractive outline. There are IN
verted plaits at the sides and in front, and
a narrow belt which ties In the back.
The frock is especially effective in satlu
crepe with the shiny side used for yoke
cuffs and inverted plaits.

ASKS FOR MAIL BOX

Editor of Pleasantville Press:
Dear Sir:
It seems to me that a United
States mail letter box placed at
the Pleasantville junction of the
Fast Shore line would be great
public convenience and service.
Riders all along the line could
bring their letters to the junction
and if they could not leave the car
to mail them could hand them out
the window to some accommodating
person to drop them in the box.
There are more mails dispatched
from Pleasantville than from any
point along the lower Shore road,
and that would be an added public
advantage.
