In spite Of all the fashion revivals
of the Victorian era, no one has any
idea Of reviving the sort Of night gown
that ladies wore in those good old days.
Made Of muslin or linen, buttoned up
ut the neck, with long sleeves and full
gathers below a short yoke.
No indeed. Modern women would
rebel at such revival. And yet the
new nightgowns are in keeping with
the new fashions. They are made
fairly long-ankle length at the very
least. They show well-deflned waist
line usually a little higher than normal
and sometimes they have sleeveS-short
puff sleeves or fiaring cap sleeves.
Sometimes they are made entirely OF
fine washable satin. Sometimes they
show a combination Of chiffon or ninon
and lace and sometimes they combine
two tones of satin or chiffon or silk
crepe. One interesting new nightgown
shows a skirt of white satin with a
band Of pink satin edged with foot
wide hounce Of crepe at the hem.
There's a wide waistband Of pink satin
with a short bodice Of pink chiffon with
becoming little short sleeves.
This combination Of materials makes
1t possible for you to bring old-fash-
toned nightgownS up to date. You can
make them long enough by adding a
f1ounce of crepe or even lace at the

LITTLE BENNY

Well, this morning for instantS was

It seemed to Farmer Browns Boy
A Mountaineer at Home.
Faith in himself that brooks no fear
Doth mark the hardy mountaineer.
Farmer Browns Boy.

1t seemed to Farmer Browns Boy
that never had he seen q more inspir-
ing sight than Bighorn the Mountain
Sheep standing as If carved in stone
on a ledge a dizzy height above him.
From that ledge there was a sheer drop
Of 200 feet or more, yet Bighorn stood
on the very edge with as little concern
as II he were on level ground. There
was a proud grace in the way he held
his head and the great curving horns
were fitting crown.
IT wish I could get nearer to him, "
thought Farmer Browns Boy, but II
I move he will see me instantly and
90. Perhaps If I keep still right here
he will come nearer. have found
that I can sometimes see more by
patient waiting for things to come to
me than I can by going looking Tor
them. Great Scot! Bighorn ought to
know better than to try to come down
that rocky slope. He'll break his
neckl"
Bighorn had left the ledge and
started down a slope at one side so
steep that it looked at that distance
to be almost straight UP and down. OF
course 1t wasn't, but it was so steep
that no man would have cared to at
tempt to go down 1t even with the
help OF hands Wherewith TO cling to
projecting rocks. Bighorn had no
hands, not even claws. only four black
hoofs. Still he seemed not in the least
concerned. He bounded from one lit
tie ledge to another where a slip would
have meant a fall that would have
killed him. He landed lightly on jut-
ting bit Of rock, his feet close together,
balanced for a moment and then
jumped to another. He picked his way
daintily over slide of loose stones,
sending one or two clatterng down to
the bottom. He bounded gracefully to
little shelf, paused for moment to
look off, and made a long jump to a
ledge below.
So Bighorn came down and Farmer
Browns Boy held his breath at times
and then let 1t out with little signs Of
relief as Bighorn continued on his way
without slip or misstep.
"A real mountaineer if ever there
was one!" exclaimed Farmer Browns
Boy under his breath. Il would like
to see you go up and do it in hurry.

GOVERNOR RUNS FOR THIRD TERM
 IN WASHINGTON
Hartley's Battling Complex Promises Lively State
 Campaign
By DAN BOWERMAN United Press Stan Correspondent )

Olympia, Wash.-(UP)-Voters sat back to watch a. political free for-all when spokesman an- nounced that Governor Roland H. Hartley will seek third term.
 The fighting governor has added virtually the entire state senate to his list of enemies who need expect no quarter. Six years ago Hartley was large scale lumber operator. He came to the executive mansion as fond of po- litical scraps as his lumberJacks were of violent physical encounters. Untrained in politics, but battler at heart, he has been continually in the midst of turmoil. A reckless disregard for what , happened politically when his anger was aroused, and liberal use or unique phraseology have character ized his service as governor. Once decided that a program is right. or that an enemy is wrong, he goes into action with every weapon available.
 Tradition Against Him
 In seeking a third term, he defied host of gubernatorial jinxes. No governor in the history of Washing ton has served three terms. No re- puDllCdU, eACtpt tliHSciA, Wao SiSNeSN twice. If Hartley - robust and healthy--lives until the end of his second term he will be the only gov- ernor in state history to do so.
 In his campaigns, Hartley chal- lenges the world.
 In 1928 he stumped the state with little black bag and a huge brass cuspidor, The bag contained pa- pers bearing on charges of malad- ninistration against other elective officials. Both he and his foes were reelected. The cuspidor he put forward as proof that money had been wasted in furnishing the new capitol. it had cost e90O.

COURTS TO RULE ON RADIO PLAN
 FOR CANADIANS
Jurisdiction of Dominion and Provinces Holds
 Up Development

Ottawa. (UP)-Whether Canada is to establish a national monopoly in radio broadcasting or permit the development of broadcasting by pri- vate enterprise will not be deter mined until the courts have decided the constitutional question of puris- diction between the dominion and the provinces.
 That will not be for some time, depending on whether there is to be an appeal to the judicial commit tee of the privy council in England, from the decision of the Supreme Court in Canada. In any case, broad casting policy cannot be settled until the 1892 session of parliament.
 In the meantime radio develop ment in Canada is at standstill and has been for two years. From Sep tember, 1929, when the report of the commission headed by Sir John Aird recommending standardization was received by the government, no new licenses for the establishment of broadcasting stations have been is- sued and, in the uncertainty of the situation, owners of existing stations have not been in a position to make improvements. Broadcasting facil- ities, therefore, are largely obsolete ana the CanaQlan SerVlce IS unSatlS- factory.
 In the mind of the responsible minister, Hon Alfred Duranleau, is Q question as to whether this situa- tion will be allowed to continue and become wors pending determina- tion of policy, or whether private interests should be permitted to establish modern powerful stations at strategic points.
 A factor which concerns the min- ister is the general complaint about dependence on the United States for radio entertainment. This depend ence is due in part to the refusal of the United States to agree to what Canadian authorities contend would be an equitable division of air cham nels, and to the antiquated char acther of Canadian statiops.
 Premier R. B. Bennett had prom ised and had intended to submit legislation to parliament at the present session establishing national policy on radio. and 1t is believed it would have been along the lines of the air commissions recommenda- tion for a national monopoly. This action was prevented by the inter- vention of the Taschereau govern ment of Quebec with claim to pro- vincila Jurisdiction over radio.
