BlouseS are so absolutely
adorable this year that they
will tempt you to buy suit,
even If you hadn't planned to.
Not that suits aren't popular,
for this is the biggest suit year
many Of us have ever seen, but
blouses are delectible bits Of
silk or lace, or linen or mesh,
and they use every known
device for making themselves
attractive, every possible vile
for persuading us to buy them.
They are short, which makes
them pert and becoming. They
are colorful, sometimes simple,
sometimes trimmed, but always
using the best of the dress
details, and in such a variety
that our four sketches can
merely give you a glimpse Of
the profusion there is to choose
from.
Bow to Bows
The bow blouse which we
have sketched in pin-checked
taffeta is as gay as anything
you could find. The taffeta is
as soft as crepe, and the bow
scarf has fringed ends, and a
little belt for wearing it out, or
you may tuck it in. It comes
in black, green or brown, COM
bined with white. Another
proof that the patterned blouse
is smart is the striped blouse
we've sketched. It is much
more sophisticated than the
checked one, and also proves

What Do Records Mean?

Amy Johnson, British woman flier,
beat her husbands record for flight
from London to Cape Town and add
ed another to her already long list of
exploits.
But it is fair question if this sort
Of record breaking or record-making
really means anything. The thing
which is tested most severely is a
piece of mechanism rather than flying
skill or knowledge. In these races the
person with the latest and most i'm
proved machine usually wins. Except
as they provide stringent tests for
motors and designs, such flights are
Of little value.
The really important records OF
modern aviation are not those made
by the Amy Johnson's, the Mollisons,
the Frank Hawks and others of their
daring associates but the steady day
in-and-day-ou records of success and
safety which are being made by the
commercial airlines in this and other
countries. Extreme development of a
product, whether it be toothpicks or
flying machines, means nothing with
out public acceptance.

North Dakota Represented

Among the members of a commit
tee to consider war debt revision
headed by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr, pres
ident of the General Motors, are two
North Dakotans, James w. Pollock
director OF the Russell-Miller Milling
company. and Walter r. Reed, Fargo,
owner of the Walter r. Reed Seed
farms.
The report is signed by many dis
tinguished American economists and
educators. Prominent among them
are Nicholas Murray Butler, Frank
o. Lowden, Alfred E. Smith and
George w. Wickersham, former at
torney general of the United States.
Such names free the report from
any political bias. These business
men, in their findings favor a cut as
first aid to a revival of business.
Complete cancellation is rejected.
Extension of the moratorium is sug-
gested as one Of the ways out and to
give time for readjustment of the
war debts.
Three recommendation are made:
That tn Re elected representa-
tives of the American people re-
cognize this vital and delicate
problem as partisan issue
to be settled strictly on its merits
in the best interests of the Uni
ted States.
That congress authorize. by the
recreation of the World War
Foreign Debt commission or
otherwise, such reconsideration
and readjustment of the debt
funding agreements as would best
rebound to the economic advan-
tage of the United States.
That congress extend the mora
forum for sufficient period to
give time for the negotiations
necessary for the proposed read
justment.

TIRED EARDRUMS
Which reminds me that the other

big piano warehouses in New York
keep group Of men working almost
constantly at tuning. Their ears
have to be highly sensitive. And al
most every one of them is now par
TALLY deaf to all save tone. They
cup their ears when you speak to
them. The constant application has,
somehow. tired the eardrums.

best he can with whatever facilities
the legislature gives him.
He is equally right in opposing re-
peal Of the state prohibition enforce
ment statutes until the 18th amend
ment Is repealed. Only when that is
done will 1t be possible to regulate
and tax the liquor business as the
people of the state now seem to de-
sire. 1t is inconceivable that they
want an unbridled liquor traffic
without control or restriction of any
kind.
But the basis of Gronna's bur-
geoning reputation for courageous
plain-speaking is his remarks ad-
dressed to the drys of the state. In
a manner which no public official
has dared to adopt in this state for
generations he has pointed to what
he considers their own shortcomings
and weaknesses.

The Right Attitude

Attorney General-elect A. J. Gron-
ma. Jr, established a reputation for
plain speaking by his statement
Thursday In which he announced his
Intention to continue enforcement of
the state prohibition law until it Is
repealed.
In this attitude every law-abiding
citizen, whether he favors or opposes
prohibition. will agree with him. To
permit unbridled bootlegging without
even the semblance Of an attempt
to enforce the law would only slim
ulate the evils which caused many to
vote against prohibition.
TO interpret the vote by which this
state repealed the prohibition clause
Of it, constitution as a mandate for
unbridled excess is an error. More
logically was 1t q protest against the
situation which had developed under
prohibition and the failure Of pro-
hibition to do the things which had
been claimed and hoped for it.
A. = public officer, sworn to obey
and enforce the law, Gronna can do
nothing else than enforce the law as

A BACKSTAGE ECHO
Another little New York story: One
of the high-hatted, swanky CROWDS
had gathered for q Carnegie Hall
concert at which Paul Whiteman was
putting his musicians through
thrilling routine of modern music. In
one box sat the plump, cherubic
Ferde Grofe, who had written the
Grand Canyon Suite" and who lives
most modestly in little New Jersey
suburb. In another box sat George
Gershwin, several of whose compost
tons were on the program, and who
lives almost as quietly, II not as
modestly, in a Riverside Drive pent-
house. Back stage trembled the
wrath like, brick-haired Dana Sues
Sc, a youngster from Louisiana, whose
newest composition was being played
for the first time. On stage sat the
collection of musicians.
The program ends. The crowd
cheers. High silk hats are popped
from pancakes into glistening dec
orations. The musicians begin to
pack up their instruments and de-
part. Out in the concrete corridors
there Is a buzzing of voices.
Hello, Gus''-"Swell work, keed"
Mice program, baby"-things like
that.
But five men are in the wings.
Three of them look like Phil Baker
stooges. At last their moment has
arrived. They must move the pianos
back in the wings. The audience,
wrapping itself up against the cold
night. barely recognizes their exis-
tence.
OF this five, there is one little pint
sized fellow who shoves and sweats
and pants. Finally the pianos are
removed. The four others slap hands
together and keep going. The little

Aud Lang Syne
New York Tines

All right-feeling men and women
must be hoping as one that Josephus
Daniels extraordinary proposal is
sharply turned down, and that it will
not be case Of the Forgotten DON
key.
Woodrow Wilson's secretary of the
navy urges that the Democratic par
ty abandon the donkey as it's en-
blem and adopt the rooster. Mr..
Daniels argues on historic and esthe-
tic grounds. He says the rooster was
the Democratic emblem until the
genius of the cartooniSt Thomas Mast
foisted the donkey upon the Demo-
Gratis. AS to looks, there can be no
comparison. The rooster has ten
times more style and beauty and clar-
ion call than the donkey"
In other words, Mr.. Daniels wants
the Democratic party in its hour of
triumph to behave exactly like too
many prospectors who have struck
gold and too many pick and shovel
men who have become captains of
industry. They discard the wife of
their youth. the companion of their
tolls and their struggles, and then
marry some one from the chorus
with 100 times as much style and
beauty and clarion call.
This must not be.
All these years. the donkey has
wandered with the Democrats in the
desert, a helpmeet and a prop. It
has. so to speak, borne Democratic
children in pain and privation. It
has shared with them the last crust
Of bread, taking for itself much the
smaller piece. It has been patient
and brave under pluralities of five
million, six million, seven million.
And now, when the clouds have roll
ed away and the SUN is shining, this
faithful companion Of years Of exile
Is to be discarded for gaudy. feath-
cred, loud-voiced, struttihg creature.
Justice cries out against the idea
and prudence rejects It,. The Demo-
cratic party In its hour Of prosperity
needs to keep those prominent dom
key ears always before it as a remin-
der: but still more as a warning.
