w INTERESTING fabrics have virtu-
ally everything their own way In
the daytime fashions which are
Il conspicuous fer their straightness
Of line and simplicity Of cut.
The smart street frock, shown in
the sketch. depicts an attractive use
of angular lines as decorative fea-
ture Of the unique bib and the
acknowledged pockets. Aside from
these details the dress is one OF
very simple lines. Pleats In the skirt
provide a comfortable amount Of knee
room for those whose daily activities
include driving cars, and a great deal
Of walking about. The way in which
this fullness is achieved Ia worthy OF
more than casual glance. The IMP
line is made to retain O fashionable
appearance Of fatness and the pleats
are observed starting Of on their
mission Of comfort from the lowest
point of the pocket. Considerable
emphasis Is being placed on the high
neckline for daytime. This frock
features the trend In q decorative
front treatment vanishing almost to
nothing in the back, where slash
is made to admit the head. Sleeves
are being treated in out Of the ordin-
ary ways at the armhole. In this
frock we see youthful line, which
gives a slender appearance to the
figure, and at the same time, assures
the wearer of more than average
comfort around the elbow.
Heavy canton crepes, and interest
ing wool mixtures, some showing
threads of tinsel, others glistening
strands of cellophane, are in high
favor for dresses of this type. The
contrast must be as fine as the
purse allows. AS to the colors, black,

green follow. Wine shades are pop
ular as warm colors, and brilliant
blues and greys for cold ones.

FTER drawing the picture of
" the long handled steel-hladed
"A ak, a tool far better than the
4 a stone-bladed axes used by the
savages, Allen again pointed
toward the Kalapalo village and said,
"Puc, puc, puc!"
The chief shouted to his warriors.
Aliens hands were bound again and
he was placed in the hammock once
more. Then all the men Of the village
went into the big hut, which Allen
thought was being used like . city
hall"
Again there were loud voices. After
the talking was over many Of the men
who came out of the village had grins
on their faces. Aliens feet were kept
bound, but his hands were freed and
he was carried to the river, where he
was placed In his canvas boat, with
warrior as his companion. The
chief and fow of his men climbed
into q dugout canoe and soon all were
padding upstream.
Hardly had the party rounded the
bend in the river when they caught
sight of DR.. Barstow and Mr.. Weston
padding downstream. Fearing that
they might pick up their rifles and
start q battle to free him, Allen was
quick to shout to them:
Here I come! Don't shootl These
Indians are going to trade me for
some knives and an axl"
The scientists raised their open
hands in token Of peace. Soon all
were padding upstream, toward the
Kalapalo village. Along the way Allen
was able to tell DR.. Barstow and Mr..
Weston about the bargain he had
made. They said that he had done
the best he could do In such o Situa-
ton.
The Indians did not leave their
canoes, but waited by the river side
until the white men went to the
village and brought back dozen
knives, q long-handled ak and, for
good measure, few hand-mirrors.
not sorry to see the last Of the savages
as they padded swiftly down the
stream. He was glad to be among
the more friendly and kindly folk of
the Kalapalo village.
Next day DR.. Barstow announced
that 1t was time to return to the
airplane, and, after giving further
presents to the Kalapalo Indians, they
started on the homeward journey.
From the viewpoint Of science"
Mr.. Weston said TO Allen, with q
smile, "our journey has been q sue

tent until you catch piranhal Well,

Allen did catch q paranha, and
told Roberta about it with pride, when
he and his comrades reached Rio de
Janeiro, after q fine airplane journey.
Then all returned to the Adventure
and steamed northward on their
homeward voyage.

Eyes Filled With Hope

Whether that glittering vision of a mil lion and quarter Americans migrating from impoverished farm lands in the east and middle west and settling on reclaimed land in the Grand Coulee region ever comes true or not, it at least revives the age-old American habit of looking to the west. The picture is little confusing, at first glance. It involves more of an ef- fort to assert human control over natural forces than has ever been made in this country before.
 Pulling enough people to populate fair sized state off of worn-out lands where they have struggled to establish them- selves, turning a desert thousand miles away into fertile farm land and then transplanting these people to it enmasse - here is a spectacular and ambitious program indeed. It is so ambitious, in- deed, that it may prove impractical. But it does furnish an emotional lift of kind that is badly needed in these days.
 The optimism and drive of the Amer ican spirit owed much to the existence of the open west. The west was always the Americans ace in the hole; the chance to drop everything, head toward the setting sun and start things over in a new land was the one card he could always use when everything else went bad.
 But the west filled up. Its rich, natural resources were all tapped, it's homesteads were all pre-empted, and it's horizon lost i:s allure. One reason why the recent depression was more unsettling than any of it's predecessors was the fact that this western escape was no longer open.
 Now, out of clear sky, comes revival of the western promise - new land,, new homes; and new start. It is like re- birth of pioneer days; and it has an emotional importance that does not de- pend on the workability of the particular scheme involved:
 It reminds us that our task of utilizing this great continent we inhabit has only begun. The job of building America is not ended, after all; it has simply passed through it first phase. There is still much work to be done, there is still all abundance of opportunity, there is still a challenge to an energetic and restless race of people - in the west, in the east, every where.
 We may do a good deal of fumbling around before we find the best way to tackle this job. But the job is there, and it's possibilities are immense The presi- dents dream of what may be done in the Grand Coulee region simply calls our at. tention to it.

Rome Letter

Washington, (UP) A blood Stained card which marked a "re- served" box seat in Ford's the ater for Abraham Lincoln the night he was assasinated, has been discovered among the old pApers anh letters of Elnathan Meade, S9 year old Civil war vet eran. The card has been pre- served for 69 years.
 Spurred by failing eyesight brought on by head wound suf- fered at the battle of the Wilder ness, Meade hastened to put his papers in order before blindness overlook him. He discovered the relic tucked away in an old letter. The veteran has dawn up an affidavit certifying the cards au- thentic origin, and has offered it to the old Ford Theater's Lincoln museum.
 Meade's affidavit said the card was discovered by William H. Smith, member of a veterans re- serve corps, charged with guard duty at government buildings and properties.
 The night Lincoln was shot. Meade explained, Smiths com pany was ordered to the theater. Upon arrival, Smith went to the box circle where he found the blood stained card marked "re- served" beside the chair Lincoln had occupied.
 Meade said Smith showed him the card at the close of the war in 1866 and later presented it to | him with instructions to have if | placed beside other Lincoln relics

Casting This Way and That

The plight of the republican party of Connecticut is becoming more and more apparent, even as the real strength of the democrats increased The trouble lies in the head of the state ticket. The g.o.p. does not know whom it should nominate for this all-important place. There is no difficulty in filling other places on the ticket. In fact, majority of them will be renominations. And there won't be many changes in the names of those now holding national office and expecting reelection.
 To offer an aside for the moment we might say that the entire republican con- gressional delegation will doubtless seek renomination. Whether unanimous con- sent will be given remains to be seen. Representative Schuyler Merritt of the fourth district isn't so keen on running again, though he will if asked. That means that the congressman will run. Over in Dr Higgins district, the second, things aren't so serene. Ie seems former Senator Hiram A. Bingham would like to get back into the legislative circle. He now maintains legal residence in Salem, which is in the second district. The plan. it develops, is for Dr Higgins, just fin ishing his first term to retire gracefully. Will he? You answer it.
 Enough for the aside. To return to the gubernatorial nomination. It seems that Lieutenant Governor Roy C.. Wilcox doesn't fit the part. And there is bit of hesitation in selecting either of two states attorneys - Arthur M Brown or the na- tionally- known Hugh M Alcorn of Hart ford. Robbins B. Stoeckel, the former motor vehicle department head, has taken himself out of the fight. Former state senator Albert E. Lavery, now president of the state Chamber of Commerce, looms as the most forward step the republicans have taken in their quest for power. Will it work? Democrats don't think so. Re- pubNcans are only hoping.

WEATHER VARIETY
(New Haven Journal Courier.

We see that Dr Ellsworth Hunt ington claims the New England cli- mate is among the healthiest avail able. Monotony, he holds, is a very good thing to avoid in wealth. CT. Climatic variety, as we get 1t, is, as much as any of the other kinds, the spice of life. And cer- tainly if change is healthful, New England should be healthy. Doubt less 1t was this truth to which the late President F'aunce of Brown used to refer when he spoke as he was fond of doing Of "this stim- ulating New England Weathah." That to young men in 8 o'clock chapel thawing the Narragansett blasts out of their bones, always seemed faintly sadistic.
 But take a day like Sunday, for instance. It followed heat, steam ing mugginess, rain, drought, all the assorted cussedness which July and August are heir to in New England. Yet it was like wine for lift and honey for sweetness. You walked in the fields and the breezes fairly charmed you. The trees were lush, the grass revived, the air volatile and dry. It may not happen again all summer long; al- most you wish it wouldn't for such ly. Certainly it double-riveted Dr Huntington's claims of New Eng a jot of perfection in the long cal- endar is worth cherishing unique- land variability.
