Belle stood in front Of one Of the loveliest
Winter scenes that could have been pictured. It
was Of q winding white river with the sunlight
sparkling ON the snow and ice. In the middle
Of this was long streak of blue-green like a
cleaning sapphire or turquoise in q setting Of
platinum. This effect was created by the re-
Election Of the blue sky on the unfrozen stream
which ran down the middle Of the river. On
the banks were bluffs Of bare branched trees
temporarily bereft Of their glorious Summer
foliage.
"T took this snap while we were on one Of our
guiding hikes" said Belle. 'T had It enlarged
and colored It. As you see 1t Is o most faithful
reproduction OF one Of the 1oveliest landscapes
that have ever seen"
This little talk, given amidst honnefy sur
roundings, stimulated creative ideas IN the

the next one. Just let him hit it. He can't
get 1t past us, old boy!"
But Dave Bassett could get it past them, and
did. He took two strikes, then connected with
a pitch and sent it screaming over second.
Billy Bliss passed third and raced for home and
Bassett got credit for double, taking second as
Grayland made play for Billy at the plate.
Pete now walked up for his turn at bat.
Coach Griffin had been reluctant enough to go
against all base ball precedent by using his
pitcher in the cleanup position In the batting
order, but he couldn't get away from the fact
that Pete was the most consistent hitter he had.
So Pete had been batting fourth whenever he
pitched and had justified the coachs action.
CRAYLAND recognized Big Shot as he came
up. The pitcher turned and furtively sig
nailed his felders to play deeper. Pete saw this
and smiled impudently at his rival moundsman.
They were afraid Of him and he wouldn't dis
appoint them.
The 0rayland pitcher tried to get him to back
away from close one. but Pete never moved
his bat from his shoulder. The second pitch
grooved the plate, however and Pete took q toe
hold, swung into the ball and lifted it over the
fence in left field. Then he trotted leisurely
around the bases while the crowd reared Its de-
light at the home run. and dotted his cap to the
cheering throng as he returned to the bench.
The Grayland pitcher, having run into i'm
mediate trouble, now frightened down, and the
next two Union batters went out In order. Pete
stepped into the box to pitch his first inning
with q lead Of three runs and everything looked
rosy.
RUT GrAyiand was not content TO let things
remain In that condition. Two clean sim
giles and q sacrifice ny gave them one run. and
they would have got another had It not been
for o beautiful throw-in by Upion's center
fielder which cut down . runner on third.
Paul had watched Pete's pitching with
speculative eye during that first inning. Now
Is they came IN for their second turn ut bat, he
said to Pete In o low tone, Arm working all
rtehtp"
Sure It is." replied Pete sharply. Didn't
look pretty good?"
"Of course" said Paul hastily. "And that
home run OF yours was Q peach"
Nevertheless. Paul had seen that his brother
was worried And 60 he entered the dugout he
saw the eyes Of Coach Grimm fixed on Pete with
O rather doubtful look.

UNEMPLO YM ENT NEAR
CRISIS IN FRANCE
Average of 1900 Lose Jobs Each
Week-Immigration Curb Seen
as Probable Relief.

PARIS (P).-France has been a year
late in feeling the pinch of the world
economic depression. but now discovers
that she is not destined to escape it.
With unemployment increasing at
the rate of 1900 a week, workmen
and statesmen are equally concerned to
migration problem on its hands. 1t is
pointed out that 100000 foreigners
are among the 100000 workingmen
drawing wages and salaries in France.
That state of affairs did not seem
30 significant last October 81, when
Official figures showed that there were
fewer than 1000 workingmen drawing
doleS from benefit or other funds. Since
then the picture has changed.
In November the number of IN
employed increased at the rate of
about 1000 a week, and December 1
found the official total close to 5000.
The next four weeks found unemploy-
ment increasing at the rate of 1900 a
week, and the turn of the year saw
the total almost at the 10000 mark.
The ministry of labor has decreed
that all demands for work permits
emanating from foreigners DESTROYS of
entering France shall be handled by a
special bureau created for tina purpose.
Each application is examined individ-
ually.
Now instructions have been issued
Tor a general census of all foreigners
working in the country, to ascertain
how many have entered fraudulently.
Any culpritS will be escorted to the
frontier.

gets sufficient diaphragm control
without bones by a means
that's very new in corset fash
acknowledgements done by
rows of stitching. There's a bit
of formal touch about this
model, too, with the low-cut back
and a brassiere top ms lie Of
lace. The garment itself is Of a
sturdy plain batiSte, with the
stitching across the diaphragm
done on a wide self pan4l in
the front. The side elastic gore
sections are slightly toward the
rear, so that self material cov-
ers and controls obnoxious
bulges on the hips.
Plush covering under the
hook-and-eye opening protects
the flesh from nips. And there's
a very smart new feature, TOO,
in the shoulder straps. Besides
being detachable, they're made
of grosgrain ribbon-that vogue
for dullneSs, you know! You
probably expect the price for so
much fashion to be way, way
out of reach, but it's just about
$40.
WaistIine Control
Some figures need more con-
troll in some places than in
others. And here's a garment
designed to make any waist
line conform to the seasons.
Silhouette. It has a sectional
elastic belt which faStens out
side, around the natural waist
line, and does the trick almost
as perfectly as nature could. In
back, a stitched panel extends
to this elastic belt for re-
strained but effective control.
There's also double boning
down each side in the back
and a single bone in the center.
The Washington times., 1931-10-07

In front a small flat pad,
that's stitched as well as boned,
lies underneath the diaphragm
section-for additional support.
There are two more garters
than usual, too-and all ad-
Unstable. Elastic side sections
and a gore in front permit the
necessary freedom Of move
ment. Certainly, the lines 1t
gives a woman who's inclined
to stoutnesS are worth paying
more than $3.50 for-but pay
ing more isn't necessary.
All Amy Woman Could Need
The last sketch shows a foun.
dation garment built to aid a
figure heavier than any Of the
ones described. The material
it's made Of is stronger, and
the garment is more heavily
boned than the others. The
inner belt is wider, and it's
shaped especially to control a
quite large abdomen. Besides
the inside belt there's an inner
pad that's boned, but yet so
flat and thin that its presence
never could be felt-or noticed.
Shoulder straps are detachable.
Of course, and they're part
elastic, to give a little with
every move. This garment
comes in sizes up to 56 and
combines all the comfort and
the fashion that a large figure
needs-or that any woman
could want. One Of the incest
features Of this garment, when
you realize all it does for you,
is the SIS price.
