SEVERAL TALKS
 ON REPUBLICAN
 CLUB PROGRAM
C. w. Carter Speaks on Communist Activities at
 Meeting Last Night

Several speakers made short talks last evening at the meeting of the Republican Club of Gastineau Channel in the City Council cham Der, the address of the evening be- ing delivered by c. w. Carter, who spoke on the subject of Communist activities in the United States. According to MT Carter, it is a practice of the Communist party to form small nuclear groups in the various industrial unions for the purpose of fomenting radical ism, and precipitating strikes. He brought out the point that investi- gations have shown these groups to be existing in many organiza- tions, and stated that indications wer that there is direct contact between them and the headquar- ters of the Communist party at Moscow.
 Investigations Dropped
 In commenting on Communist activities, former United States Marshal Albert White stated that when the Republicans were in power, many Secret Service opera tives were detailed to the duty of checking up on those activities, and charged that since the recog- milton of Russia by the Democratic administration, these investigations have been dropped.
 J. E. Barragar, Sr., spoke on the case of private power companies as compared to municipally owned systems, stating that where the municipal system offered cheaper power, the difference was made up in increased taxes.
 Protest Important Frank Foster, in the course of other remarks, said that it does not matter much whether Repub- licans or Democrats are elected this fall, the important thing be- ing, from his point of view, that a protest against present conditions should be made.
 ''It is up to us as good citizens to make whatever protest we can against the rottenness and bum management now going on in Washington" declared MT Foster.
 MT. Foster also stated that what is said in the meetings might not go very far and perhaps not even reach the Empire office, and that if it did, it probably would be dis torted by the time it got there.
 The meeting adjourned without setting the place for next Tues days session, the Board of Equal ization having reserved the Coun- cil Chamber for most of next week.

Peasant Serves
Slain Wife TO
His Guests

CHAREST, Dec. II.
G.N.S).-Out of the grim back
woods of northern Rumania,
where the peasants still live
in medieval ignorance, today
came the macabre story of a
practical joke that will cost
the perpetrator his life.
Nicholas Stefan, a farmer
of the village of Onittani, in
vited all his wife's relatives
and friends to a feast.
But the guests observed that
Nine. Stefan was absent; they
noticed the curious taste and
appearance of the meat, neatly
garnished with vegetables; and
they saw that Stefan did not
partake.
They paled at the terrible con-
cluSion, and summoned police.
The authorities found that
Stefan had killed his wife and
he and his elleged mistress,
Eufosine Ghibu, had cooked
some of the flesh and served it
to the guests. The remainder Of
the body was found in the
kitchen.
Irate villagers attempted to
lynch the man and woman.
Stefan will die, Mile Ghibu will
recover.

NEW YORK, Dec. II Q.N.SD.
Search for other possible victims
of the slayer of Grace Budd
turned today to an almost for
gotten cottage hidden away in
the glades behind the ramshackle
murder house" at Greenburg in
Westchester county.
Detectives armed with shovelS,
picks and axes attacked the old
structure in a methodical hunt
for weather-beaten bones such as
were recovered from the house
itself.
For the cottage-in-the- -glades
was the home of Albert Howard
Fish before he moved to Wis
terra bungalow, to which he lured
the Budd child and stranged her
and chopped her body into pieces
with meat cleaver, knife and saw.
The authorities widened their
search in the face of new pro-
testations by the confessed slayer
that Grace Budd was his only
victim. Discovery of five addi.
tional bones at the house indi-
Gated that others may have met

men sought respite from the city's
streets through employment on
farms.
It was an advertisement for a
farm job-inserted in newspaper
by Grace Budd's brother-that led
to the child's death. Fish
answered it and painted a glowing
picture of employment he could
give on his country estate.
He won his way into the conf
dence of the Budds and when he
sought permission to take Grace

that permission was readily
granted.

Garvan, representing chemical

agreement information committee
today.

jectiVe "state Socialism"
Praises President
Praising President Roosevelt's
stand to take the profit out Of
war;" Mr.. Garvan said:
"The one thing that has been
disturbing the chemists mind is
the fear that, in developing his
science toward adequate national
defense, someone would derive a
profit from it. President Roose-
velt has given them inspiration
and cOntentment of mind and
they desire to express their
gratitude to him and assure him
of their fullest cooperation.
"The Nye committee, on the
contrary, approaches the subject
destructively and with State So
cialiSm apparently in its mind.
Taking over the chemical indus
tries by the Government means
taking over all business, because
chemistry today means practi-
cally all business"
Psychological Effect
Discussing the psychological ef-
feet of preparedness on other ma
tionS, Mr.. Garvin said some Euro
pean nations would be at war
now were it not that they are well
stocked in airplanes and chemical
warfare.
Mr.. Garvin declared American
chemists are ambitious to end war
by developing chemical warfare

When the vanity of men

then watch out. And therein
lies a story of Sol Bloom, New
York Representative. Now the
vanity enjoyed by the majority
of men may exceed all bounds
of femininity when it comes to
sonal appearance and
clothes. But when it carries
them into a beauty salon de-
voted entirely to feminine pa
tronage-and the smartest sort
of patronage-then it invites
comment.
And there is where Sol Bloom
makes his entrance. In quest

BY WILMA LAVILLE

When you go dining or dane
ing these summer nights, you're
twice as cool if you wear q
sheer, crispy frock. And you
look cooler than that. No Won
der they are so fashionable.
They seem made for our Wash
ington nights.
Even chiffons are slightly stiff
fened so that they will stand
out, look frilly, won't stick to
you, and will have that frothy
look that is so smart right now.
All the cottons have certain
stand-offiShness, and even if
they are not sheer, they are
cool because they are stiff and
do not cling.
Three out of four of the
frocks we asked Mrs. Joe Pen
ner to pose in for us are the
crispy kind, though we might
as we'll break down and confess
that she bought the fourth. the
yellow crepe. It was extremely
becoming to her brunette good
looks, and she's taking a
boat trip to California. she
wanted something with
jacket.
Cut to the Waistline
The printed chiffon she wears
Is one of those that is slightly
Stiffened, as you can see. The
design is splashy and rather
colorful, with red, white and
green on a black ground. The
ruffles down the back are 'ex-
tremely graceful. It's cut to the
waist in the back, but is rather
high in front. This dress is
$25.
Irma Kirby, one Of those
much-praised American design
ers, made the plaid gingham
which Mrs. Penner wears. It's
in a rich red and green paid,
with wide ruffles that make
sleeves, and embroidered ba-
tiste to give an additional crisp
ness under the shoulder ruff
files. 1t is priced $25 too, and
is a good dinner dress.
The other plaid, the mousse
line de sole is more formal
looking, for it has a satin stripe

through it that gives it a silky,
dreSsy look. It is in red and
black on white ground, with
attractive square neckline that
makes a sort of bertha in the
back. The price is again $25,
and, oh, yes! don't fail to notice
the red cord belt.
Crepe With Jacket
The yellow crepe, which Mrs.
Penner bought, will be reordered
so that you can have it, too, if
you want it. Its priced $22.75,
and all these dresses are in size
IA, though the store from which
they came can get them in your
size, up to 20. There's a clever
strap arrangement in the back
of this yellow dress, which
comes high to the back of the
neck, but is also low to the
waist. Pastel sweet peas finish
the neckline of the dress.
Just to let you in on a little
secret. Mrs. Penner isn't very
tall, yet looks quite Etatuesque
in all the dresses. They did
trail the floor, so to be photo
graphed she stood on the tele-
phone book. She's charming,
and can be almost as amusing
as her funny husband. She's
been in the movies, too. Let's
hope she will come back soon
again.

showing the above dresses, call

Linen Suits

Men who have wanted to in

These suits are good-looking,
and are cool because they are,
after all, single breasted and re-
quire no vest. They have the
conventional strap down the
back and two straps in front,
through which the belt runs.
They are SIS in a good grade Of
white linen, and will undoubt-

too, as they are so new.
