It's the kind of game that keeps her out of doors, provides plenty of running about and teaches her to throw and catch a basketball. You can see how such a game exercises a child's big muscles and strengthens the heart muscles without overstraining them."I

Paris Styles

Paris, (UP)-It's incredible the different effects you can get with striped jersey. Take it in yellow and white, for instance, for a sport dress with the stripes running up and down. There is a two-inch panel down the front, clear from the neck to the hem of the skirt. with the stripes running cross- ways. A V-cut yoke gives tho blouse geometric look and black satin belt and triangular scarf knotted at the throat are all the trimming necessary.
 With this particular dress there is a coat of black and white striped jersey. the stripes through the body of the coat (loose and three- auarters) run crossways while for the just t-below the-elbow sleeves they run up and down. Standing out from the shoulders and taper ing to nothing under the arm are awning effects in the crossway run of the stripe.

Now is the time to plan your fall beauty routine. Determine. first what you need in the way of cos metics and just what sort of treat ments you will require. If your skin has become tanned, freckled or rough during the sum- mer, bleaches will probably be your first consideration. You will want to know whether your are going to need weak or fairly strong bleach.
 If it is convenient, good idea is to go to a beauty shop for q couple of bleaching and cleansing facials. These start you off right and then it is easier to continue the treatments right at<home.
 What about your hair? Has 1t become faded, dry or lifeless dur ing the summer months? If the answer is 'yes,' you'd better map out schedule for it, too.
 Caefully consider massage treat ments, hot oil shampoos and other aids to a healthy scalp and hair. You'll probably want to try new coiffure this fall, so make a careful study of new and becoming ways to dress, wour hair.

among his followers. He has been chief executive of Maryland for fourteen years. That's long time to head the state and certainly indicates considerable popularity among the voters. And We mustn't lose sight of the fact that during this period Governor Ritehie has been a candidate like wise for the democratic nomination for president
 Now some of his harshest critics are de- manding his impeachment. That certainly would be a sorry conclusion to a career as brightly studded with achievements as has been Ritchie's. If there is general dissatis- faction with the governor of Maryland. it will be displayed by nomination of some other democratic candidate. However, we can't believe everything that is being said about him. We feel sure that it is merely an expression of political factionism - disgruntlement at the length of the Ritchie tenure of office. He is too big a figure to be caught up in any petty party fighting.
 We can well recall the days when Ritchie's opinion on questions of national and inter- national importance were sought eagerly by the press. They still are for that matter, but naturally during republican administration he loomed larger than we would today with Franklin D. Roosevelt in the White House., Ritehie's opinion on prohibition. on states rights. and on other matters made Maryland rather famous in this little nation of ours. We don't quite see how it can well expect the nation to believe that the man who swayed public opinion as did Ritchie can be relegated to the background because of political dissatisfaction within the state. There would have to be something bigger than that to remove Ritchie from his pedestal in American history and politics.

We notice that the Bridgeport Telegram says the same thing as we did some few days ago with regard to its recent election. We maintained that in electing Jasper McLevy mayor the city would not be going Socialist in the ordinary meaning of the word. The Telegram says, Bridgeport yesterday did not go Socialist. It went McLevy. It voted for public man it has known and liked for more than twenty years. man it has come to regard as honest straightforward. and dependable. ..." On its own member4 ship the Socialist party of Bridgeport could not have succeeded. It required votes that its candidate had won for himself not for his party.

World War Lesson

It is l5 years since the guns ceased firing on the western front in the World War. It is 19 years since the conflict began. There are today in our high schools and colleges boys and girls. young men and young women, to whom the World War is only one of a number of wars described in the his- tories. Some of these young folks have been taught that many of our current troubles are an outgrowth of that war, but the war itself does not even create for them the impression of bad dream. Armistice Day they know because it is given special observance every year, with speeches and parades, flags flown. banks closed. and SO on. Its full significance to their elders they can hardly be expected to grasp.
 It would be well. however, to make use of Armstice Day. as President Roosevelt sug- gested. to further peace in this world. It ought to be possible to educate intelligent young people as to the constructive possibil- ities of peace and the inevitably destructive nature of war. Armistice Day ought to be a day for emphasizing peace and how to achieve it rather than recalling the battles of 1914 to 1918.

There is some dissension in Washington over Deputy Attorney General Averills ruling on state banks participation in the Federal Reserve system and the Federal De- posit Insurance Corporation. The Connec- ticut official advised that if state banks chose to join the one, which meant both in the long run. it might meet with opposition from the state banking commissioner. Deputy Attorney General Averill in his opinion remarked that the Connecticut Leg
 islature's enabling act of June authorizing state banks to join the Federal Reserve sys- tenn is predicated on the greater need of preserving our setup of mutual savings banks and the laws passed for the protection of their depositors. =" Washington officials in reply stated that 'The fallacy of this premise is the assumption by the deputy attorney general that membership on the Federal Reserve system and incidentally in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation would weaken the mutual savings banks and give less protection to the depositors than they have now. It is submitted that the protection afforded by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will have exactly the opposite effect. It is evident that the deputy attorney general questions the merits of the plan for irlsuring deposits and, for this reason, he advises the bank commissioner that he would be justified in disapproving any application of a state bank. -"

Worlds Busiest Airport

Though we have grown accustomed to the fact that air transportation is now well established in this country. figures concern ing it still surprise us For example, there is the recent announcement that 100000 paid passengers have cleared the Newark airport so far this year. If there is not too much bad weather in the next few weeks, officials believe the total will reach 100000 before the end of the year. Thousands of passengers are now taken for granted. More than 100000, however, at a single airport, is figure to make one sit up and notice.
 The Newark airport is ahead of any other in the world in number of passengers car- ried, and also in amount of express and mail traffic. It serves the great city of New York, the busy eastern seaboard and the national capital. But airports in other parts of the country are doing very well, too. Where distances to be covered are so great as they are in America, the speed of the airplane is big inducement to use that means of travel. It has doubtless been an important factor in the rapid development of air transportation in the United States and South America.

Upsets All Dope

Ratification of the 21st amendment to the federal constitution has been achieved in just little longer than eight months No amendment to the Constitution has ever passed through the hands of the states so speedily since it has been necessary to secure 36 ratifiers. Of course. in the early days of the republic when there weren't as many states ratification of proposed amendments was just as speedy. But the zlst amend ment holds all modern records, just as prob- ably the child labor amendment will hold record as the one that took the longest to ratify.
 It took only B months to ratify the 9th amendment. Certainly it ought to take less time to get it out of the Constitution where it never belonged. Incidentally we shouldn't lose sight of the fact, too. that the 21st amendment required ratification or re- jection by method new to the states. The amendment specifically called for action at state conventions and not by the Legislatures as had been the case in all previous amend ments. Many people were of the opinion that insistence upon this form of ratifica- ton would tend to prolong the fight. Quite the opposite resulted. though.
 Undoubtedly future amendments that are proposed will likewise contain the provision that ratification be by the convention method. It has been exclusively shown that this is just as easy as putting the matter up to the Legislatures of the several states. The expense was not heavy in any instance. And certainly the result in this particular instance was gratifying. While the total vote cast in most cases was below the average. it was representative vote and proved that even had the full quota of voters turned out the result would have been the same.
 The 2lst amendment was submitted to the states on February 20 of this year and the Both state had approved of it November v. Of course. formal ratification will not be secured until December 5 when the Both ratifying convention will be held. That would extend the ratification period to bit over nine months. The nearest approach to these figures was ratification of the l2th amendment, providing the method of choos- ing the president and viee-president. That required just nine months and thirteen days from December 12. 1903. to September 25. 1904. All hail the 21st amendment. It not only reestablishes normaley in the United States. but sets up records at the same time.

[. Real winter will set in this year sooner than since 1928. Are sorry to have it so bleak. but maybe the winter afterward will be Eiilder. .' Commenting on this all too true prophecy. the editor of the Times says, The snow and early winter did come, notoriously in upper New England and in York state. before October was out. November 5. the ground froze in the Connecticut valley. On the morning of November 6 snow fell as far south as New York city, and all over Connecticut. which was white with it.

Can We Rely On This

Relief plans at Washington will remove 100000 unemployed men from charity lists between November 16 and December l. a recent news dispatch from the Capital stated This is the most cheering news that the nation has received in quite some months now and we can't say that the past few months have been empty of surprises either. Coupled with this good news comes speech by Archibald McNeil. delivered at Norwalk this week, in which he declared that the public works program in Connecticut would establish jobs for 5000 after January 1.
 Cities and towns will be particularly glad to learn that SO many jobs are going to be available this winter. The cold months always prove to be the biggest drain on charity departments, welfare organizations, and the like. Many town has been hard pressed of recent years to make both ends meet simply because it has been called upon by SO many needy cases. And we don't know vet of single instance where town tried to dodge its duty along these lines. In Connecticut it has been rather impressive to read about the extra appropriations for charity departments.
 To go into lengthy discussion of the means by which 100000 men will be put to work is not needed in this column. Suf- flee it to say the jobs will be on public projects, such as park and playground con- struction: sanitation. including drainage, clearing of river beds and cleaning up rural areas; reclamation of public land for roads and the construction of feeder roads: building of utilities and public structures not classified in the public works program; and pest control. This last undertaking is one that we have mentioned on many occasions < as needing prompt and thorough attention from the national government.
 As for the state jobs which Mir McNeil mentioned. they will be somewhat similar in nature. Connecticut is asking for $lO,- ' 100000 right now to undertake public works projects. Half of this amount has been approved. The rest IS sure to be. < Certainly the promise of work should en- courage many men who have complained bitterly to themselves at the thought of accepting charity. It is fortunate for us that we are nation of workers. You'll find few men and women content to be wards of the state or town. SO long as there is a job that they can fill. By providing means of earning money the federal. state. and local governments are saving the self respect of millions of good citizens. And that is important today.

A TUNNEL FOR ANTWERP
(New york sun)

A vehicular tunnel under the scheldt river has been built to con- meet the two parts of the city of Antwerp which are separated by the stream. In form and construc- ton it is patterned after the Hol- land tunnel under the Hudson. Plans and specifications were pre- pared by New York engineers. The length of the tunnel is 6.922 feet. The width is 22 feet, one lane each way. providing capacity for 2.oo0 vehicles an hour. The cost was $1O,OO0,O00.
 Antwerp has a population of 500,00O, but the west bank of the Scheldt has been little developed and the area is used generally for farming. Only one ferry operates across the river. As Antwerp is the terminus of the Belgian canal and river system the busy shipping makes it difficult to operate ferry boats. The vehicular tunnel will enable those who work in Antwerp to live cheaply on the west side of the river. Also it will provide a continuous highway from Ghent and the westerly parts of Belgium to Antwerp and the east.
 Adopting New York methods, the tunnel builders used the cut ting shield in driving the bore. in- stalling air locks and utilizing com pressed air. Six weeks ago King Albert was able to make the first passage through the tube. He also examined 8 small tunnel built for pedestrians and bicycle riders which has been driven 2,200 foot further up the river. This is only 1870 feet long and will be equip ped with elevators and escalators to carry the passengers in shafts to the pathway. A road 12.5 feet wide is provided in the small tun- mel, which has a diameter of 15.5 feet. As foot passengers and cy- clists do not have to follow the grades required in the vehicular tunnel the short small passageway can be maintained at very little ex- EenSe.
 When France was in control of the Scheldt Napoleon pointed out that the west bank of the river was the natural line of expansion for Antwerp. This development was not feasible except through the building of a tunnel. Plans are under way for large plazas on the west bank, connecting with new highways in anticipation of popu- lation growth in the territory to be opened up.
