FLASHES FROM
PARIS
BY cHERIE NICHOLAS

According to the recent Paris
openings. the remarkable change :
In millinery which has to do with .
romantic little hats worn tip :
tilted over one eye and which .
declare a revival of picturesque
plumage, is not having so great
an influence on the rest OF the
costume as to make 1t imprac-
teal for women who live In this
busy day and age. AT least, so
far as informal daytime and
sports fashions are concerned,
designers have maintained a rea-
sonable style, balance, since most
of the collections favor discreet
and wearable types.
AS to the new evening types
they definitely reflect period In
fluence, in so far that many sill
houettes suggest a return to bus
. tie effects, together with trim
mings Of quaint little puffs and
ruchings and all sorts OF fem
mime frills and furbelows such
; as had to do with fashions which
flourished from the 1905 to the
. i93os.

Investigating the condition OF farm
family which had been reluctant to
apply for aid, Red Cross worker re-
ported that the only food found IN
the house was plate Of cold biscuits.
Asked why he had not made his plight
known, the farmer, described as typl-
cal pioneer replied that he had moi
sought assistance because he figured
there were others who needed help
even more. Given new hope by the
relief worker, the farmer accepted ar
application blank.

r He American press is free to lead and

responsible press of the country. The press
has been the stay Of the nation IN other

Well, perhaps Mr. Corey is right. But
if millions of our veterans feel that way

Mr. Corey assumes, i'll this article at
least. that the next war will be exactly like
the last. and that belligerent Americans
would merely embark, shouting, for foreign
shores while our business men stayed at
home and raked III the money.
He forgets presumably that democracy
has already been saved once. He speaks Of

reckless materialism to have another nice

other side of the world SO that we might
reap the benefits Of prosperity while Other
nations had homes swept away, civilization
slaughtered and starved and fields made
barren?
But suppose that this time the enemies
came over here and dropped bombs on on
great skyscrapers, riddled our beautiful
churches with cannon balls, gassed our chill

TOMORROW.

Have you ever stopped to think
That today is not so bad
It's the dread of dark tomorrow
That makes us glum and sad.
We're sure, some how or other
We can make the present grade;
It's tomorrow's vexing problem
Of which we're sore afraid
And yet our past tomorrows-
Were they worse than our todays'
Was not the darkness riven
BY hopes beguiling rays?
Might we then not curb our worries
BY mindfulness always
That the God who makes tomorrows
Is the God Of our todays?

TINY WATER "SCAvENGERS.
 HELP DESTROY POLLUTION

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 19.-- Tiny animals or vegetable organ isms serve as "scavengers" in im- pure water as buzzards act as scav- engers on land.
 The organisms are known as "plankton." Their presence in wat CT is sign of pollution. Plankton disappear when the water is puri- fled, says the United States Public Health Service.
 Vegetable plankton destroy bac- teria by "gas attack of oxy- gen. Animal plankton attack bac- teria by actually feeding on them or on the by-products of the bac- teria that poison the water.
