BY Wilma LaVille

Perhaps a drawing OF a dress
without anything startlingly
new about it is lust another
dress" to you. But if you look
closely at that dress, you will
find subtle changes in its sill
houette or detail, little things
that point to a trend, that
rake it different from the
dress you bought last month,
and that will eventually make
your fall dress look old. So it
is we'll to study each develop
ment as it comes along, eSpe.
cially this time Of the year
when spring fashions are pre-
dicted in every new garment
that is now being made.
Sleeves Hold Chic
Sleeves are the most inter.
esting part Of the dress we
have sketched for today. No
tice how longs they look with
their spiral folds. and how
cleverly the width at the elbow
is introduced by cutting. You
will find more and more Of
this elbow width as a new sea-
son comes on and you will no.
tice that more often sleeves
will carry the only detail of
the dress. Even coats are com.
ing to this viewpoint, and the
advance resort and spring
models often have intricately
cut sleeves, but are perfectly
simple otherwise.
Frivolous BOwknOtS
Necklines are apt to be sim
pie, but to have some drapery
or a bow to relieve this sim,
plicity. They are often Ae-
sided. and the surplice closing
is still a favorite. The big
bow that ties the neckline Of
this dress is unusually attrac-
tive. and it centerS attention on
the upper part of the dress.
which seems to be another i'm
portant trend. The skirt has
the rather straight silhouette,
cut on the bias so it fits per.
fectly. and the girdle is wider
than usual. higher than usual
and fastenS with Row &n9t
buckle of imitation white Jade.
The dress is in a heavy silk
crepe. and the color is a stun
ming Persian green, a medium
dark shade. It is available in
a washington store.

For once l can agree with the Bal
timore Sun, which says, "Albert c.
Richie is best qualified to advocate
the wet platform" He certainly is
from every standpoint. Neither do
blame Secretary Wilbur for being a
stickler for high standards, but how
ever this may be, the question of most
Importance to US now is do we want
to change the President whose rare
breadth of view and unequaled grasp
of the titanic forces which have beset
America and the world and who is so
eminently fitted to pilot our nation
on along the same road he has brought
us out on, the road to Prosperity and
Happiness. For doubt, uncertainty,
experimenting and lack of knowledge
and understanding of our national and
international problems of today, the
only change 1 favor is is to send
every Republican Senator and Con-
gresham to Washington to back up
President Hoover in his great task
of reconstruction that is possible.
Again I appeal to you to remain
steadfast to our party and its princi-
Piles. Each one of us has an equal
responsibility in the welfare of our
homes, our people and our nation,
and we can best discharge this re-
sponsibility by coming out to vote
with high minded interest in helping
our President to solve the problems
of today and thus perform a genu-
inc service to our community and to
our country alike.
We are justified IN feeling great
pride in the engineer of our ship Of
state, for by his indomitable courage,
his integrity and tenacity of purpose
he has fought aside the issues that
struck at the very citadel of our
homes, country and nation. With far
seeing vision, brilliant and unquench-
able ability. he has held fast to all that
the country has cherished through the
years and landed US safely on the road
to prosperity and he deserves not only
Republican votes but that of every
right thinking citizen.
l have always maintained that no
great achievement was ever attained
without the help of God. Our Presi-
dent was reared in a Christian home
by mother, who was a minister and
he always promises with the help of
God he will bring US safely through
this crisis, and my faith is supreme
in this golden thread of promise that
it means victory, have no doubt.

Resolutions on Death of the
Late Franklin P. Arnold

Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty
God to call from our midst our friend,
brother and co-worker, Franklin P.
Arnold, whose upright life and good
qualities such as faithfulness, stead
fastness, and goodwill have been
help and inspiration to all of us, we,
the Adult Bible Class of the M. E.
church of Mt. Lake Park, are moved
to these resolutions:
1. That our heartfelt sympathy,
love and prayers be extended to the
bereaved wife and family, commend
ing them to our Heavenly Fathers
love and care.
2. That each of us has lost friend
and brother whose presence and in
fluence will be missed and whose
passing is deeply regretted.
3. That copy of these resolutions
be spread upon the minutes of the
Adult Bible Class, another given to
the family of the deceased, and still
another published in each of the coun-
ty papers.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE SOCIETYS CORNER
''The Word of Our God Shall Stand Forever

Jesus were delivered, and having as
certained what books were commonly
accepted by the ancient church as
canonical, sent a list of them to
Onesimus. The list was as follows:
Five Books of Moses-Genesis, Exc
dus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuter-
onomy; Joshua, Nave, Judges, Ruth;
Four Books of Kings, Two Books of
Chronicles, Psalms of David, Proverbs
of Solomon (Which is also called wis
DOM, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs,
Job; of the prophets, Isaiah, Jeremi-
ah; of the Twelve Prophets in one
Bock-Daniel, Ezekiel, Ezra. We miss
in this catalogue the Book of Es-
Their. In Ezra, Nehemiah is no doubt
included, as Jerome informs US that
these two books were included in one
volume, which is called Ezra.
The Onesimus to whom Melito
wrote was doubtless the slave of Phil
emon, whom Paul converted to Chris
tianity, and who was commended to
Philemon with the urgent request
that he be received not as a runa-
way slave, or servant, but as brother
beloved. Paul goes so far in urging
clemency on the part of Philemon
that he stands ready to assume any
debts incurred by Onesimus, saying:
eff he hath wronged thee, or oweth
thee ought, put that to mine account"
The several catalogues of Origin,
in the first half of the third century,
Gregory Nazianzen, about 800 A. D.,
and Jerome, who is considered the
greatest Hebrew scholar among the
Fathers of the early church, includes
the 80 books now universally ac-
cepted as canonical.
