although LIE Moment was an ardent

A censorship of posters (the Swiss
love to plaster buildings and sign
boards with lurid announcements) also
is in force, and various foreign corre-
spondents, including Robert Dell. ia
nous representative of the Manchester
Guardian, are simply tolerated In
Switzerland because of the presence
Of the League. Powerful protests have
arisen in all parts Of Switzerland. how
ever, against both Fascist and boil

and the chances are that Geneva will
indefinitely remain bulwark OF po-
litical and personal liberty in con-
tinent which is rapidly becoming re-
dictionary.
Conditions Long Same.
In France, England, Sweden, Hol-
land and Czechoslovakia the situation
has not changed materially since the
World War ended Britain has its
"Mosley movement" and France has
her "Croix de Feu' and "Patriotes
Jeunesse, who, if they come into
power, may be counted upon to act
drastically against all opposition, be
it from. the first, second, third or
fourth estate. In Holland and Sweden
the reactionaries are ION the make,
while Belgium has repeatedly faced
sanguinary street fights between Com
munists, Socialists and Fascist groups.
The development Of political as well
as economic trends will determine
largely future events.
In France, particularly, while the
press is free, powerful financial in
terests or political groups dominate
the policies Of the various newspapers.
So, in way, the French people. ex-
cept in the provinces which are served
by a much higher type of journalism
than the capital-are fed ready-made
information. But they at least have
a choice of reading matter. which Is
more than can be said for the Ger
man, Russian, Italian or Austrian
public. And there is nothing to pre-
vent a really independent and honest
newspaper from entering the field
except finances.
So Europe moves on-where, no.
body knows. Reaction Is still grow
ing, but in each succeeding country
that falls under dictatorships the re-
sistence Is hardening. Austrian lib
erals put up sitter fight than did
either the Italians or Germans. The
Spanish will surpass the Austrians
if necessary and the French have yet
long way to go before the Croix de
Feu will become a real menace.
Fascism in Britain is still a joke.
But in these days anything might
happen.

Can League Be Saved?

abltng the Assembly to fix by two
thirds majority the conditions for the
election of the temperament MEM
bers of the Council, was proposed and
adopted by the Assembly in 1924 and
entered definitely into force in 1926.
The amendments to Article 16, it Is
true, have not been ratified by sufi-
cient members to bring them into
force in spite of the fact that they
would unquestionably improve the
working of the sanctions of the
League. But in my belief the reason
for this failure is the fact that none
of the more influential governments
in the League have ever madC very
serious efforts to secure their definite
acceptance. In the working of the
institutions of the League very much
depends upon the general polcy-I
might almost say upon the spirit
which its leading members bring to
its deliberations. If some of them
really bend their efforts to making
the institutions work, to securing ac-
tual results, even the most intractable
difficulties tend to disappear.
How true that is I myself proved
when proposed the amendment of
certain article of the covenant in
1929 My purpose was to bring the
covenant into harmony with the
Briand-Kellogg pact. The covenant
had left members of the League free
to make war in certain cases; the
BRAND Kellogg pact had brought that
freedom to an end. 1 urged that the
gap in the constitution of the League
be closed-that it should no longer
allow a right which new world law.
accepted by virtually every civilized
power, had abolished.
At first I met with some strenuous
opposition, but the Assembly ap-
pointed a special committee to draft
the necessary changes, and at its ses-
sion in 1880 those changes came with
in an ace Of being adopted. I have
little doubt that if they had been
proceeded with in the following year
there today would have been further
batch of amendments in force on the
statutes of the League.
1t is fair to say, then, that the sys-
tenn of the covenant is at least rela-
lively elastic Considering the short
ness of the time since the League
was founded, the number of changes
already made has been considerable.
Experience has shown that progressive
amendments. designed to strengthen
the League in the general interest Of
the members as whole, find enough
support to carry them through.
These lessons 1 apply to the present
situation If amendments can be pro-
posed which will strengthen the
League in the general interest. hope
they will be put forward. Since every
change in the covenant must affect
every member of the League, great
and small alike, they should be laid
before the Assembly in the proper
constitutional way. If they will help
US to overcome the difficulties with
which the world is faced today 1 am
sure they will rally the nations Of the
League to their support And all such
amendments put forward in gCSd faith
for the genuine improvement of the
League will be considered with all
good will by the Labor movement

OF the press in YugoSlavia, Ru-
mania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania,
Portugal and Poland little need be
said. Dictatorships are much the
same the world round. Severity in
dealing with the press Is matter of
degree and necessity.
Down in Lisbon, Oliviera Salazar
has ruled uninterruptedly for decade
and the opposition is non-existent in
journalism. In Poland Pilsudski no
longer needs to discipline the mem
bers of the Fourth Estate, and in
YugoSlavia, Bulgaria and Hungary it
is case of comply or pay the pen

are just beginning to feel the neces-
sity for cooperation against the
enemy from NATURALIZATION and
reactionaries-and besides, the gov
ernments dare not antagonize their
more powerful neighbors-Poland,
Russia and Germany.
Even in Switzerland the fear Of
what big neighbors may eventually do
is causing the government no little
worry. Both FaScism and Hitlerism
are struggling to gain a foothold in
the Swiss Confederation. But Social
ism is keeping apace. A law has Just
been promulgated which authorizes
the federal government to take action
against Swiss newspapers which
threaten to disturb the good relations
/ existing between Switzerland and

"So you could" said I, "but it wouldn'. do any good. You see, plain water won't get rid of the poison. You'd have to scrub your ball with lots of soap suds before it would be safe to play with" "Why?" asked Claire. Because soapy water will wash away the poison, though plain water won't" I explained. to Robert, Come on Robert, we'll play hide and seek instead"
 This episode will make young Claire and Robert even more care full. They have known for a long time how to recognize poison ivy by its three leaves and it's yellow ish- white berries, and the poison sumac which grows in swamps. Two years ago Bill Johnson got ivy poisoning through treading on the creeping stems and then touching his boots when he pulled them off at night. The poison can be carried on clothes, tools, golf clubs-even on the fur of animals. The best precaution is to wash with good kitchen soap and warm water anything that has come into contact with poison ivy or it's fe1lows-poison sumac and poison oak.

Paris, (UP)-At the annual Prix des Drags all the smart women around town put on their best bibs and fuckers and sally forth from the Place de la Con- corde to the Bois in the old-fash- toned vehicles.

 This year, wearing Pave" the new Schiaparelli cobblestone mi- terial, Henrietta, Lady Davis. was a bright spot in the parade up the Champs Elyssees. The color of it was that new "jasmine de mutt" and her accessories-belt, gloves and bag-were of black suede. She wore broad brimmed hat of black straw and looked Very lovely.

It was belted with a mat-surfaced ribbon and her hat, gloves and bag were all black.
 Mrs Arthur Rau wore navy "newhark" with a short white jacket, and Miss Florence Meyer, daughter of the Washington pulp fisher, wore navy blue and white, with low square neck filled in with white fiuting, which also trimmed the sleeves.

1.-No. Chiefly belief their powers are not so good and social custom. Prof. E. l.. Thorndike con- cluded this from the testimony Of a large group of people of ad- vanced ages as to what age they had learned these accomplish ments. He found most people had learned the typewriter in their thirties or later but had learned the piano prior to fourteen. Only one had learned to drive an auto before thirty and only one to sail a boat after sixteen. Plainly so- cial custom had dictated the mat ter chiefly, yet Thorndike's experi- ments-not testimony-show that almost anything-piano, mathe. matics, dancing, writing, and what not, can be learned any time up to fifty and probably far beyond.

Hot moons are trying and chill dren particularly need to have ex- tra diet care these torrid days. The nourishing drink that makes a complete meal when served with sandwiches solves the luncheon problem both satisfactorily and appetizingly.
 Chocolate is usually a favorite, but any one may be used. Fruit juices, spices, vanilla, almond maple, pistachio or even the syrup from jams and jellies may be con- bined with milk to make refresh ing and nourishing drinks.
 Milk and egg or milk alone is used with the chosen syrup. Pow dered, condensed or evaporated as we'll as fresh milk will serve. But no sugar will be necessary if the drink is made with condensed milk.
 Chocolate EggnOg
 One egg, ? tablespoons choco- late syrup, 2-3 cup milk. few grains salt.
 Put syrup, milk, egg and salt into glass and beat thoroughly with a small Dover beater. Serve at once.
 It good plan to have the glass as well as the ingredients thoroughly chilled before mixinen. Ice should not be served in milk drink and the drink should not be chilled after mixing because 1t does not improve on standing.
 To make chocolate syrup, melt three squares of bitter chocolate over hot water and add 2 to 3 cups
 
 drink use three cups, otherwise ] taste. Slowly add 1 1-2 cups boiling water, stirring until chocolate mix ture is thoroughly blended with water. Boil five minutes without stirring and remove from fire. Cool and add teaspoons vanilla.

 Put syrup and milk into a glass and beat well. Top with a spoon full of whipped cream and sprinkle with a dash of cinnamon. Orange Eggnog
 This rule for an orange eggnog will serve two persons. One egg, I orange, l cup chilled | milk, 1 teaspoon sugar, few grains salt.

PICNICs AND POISON IVY

Last weekend MT and Ms Johnson, with Claire, Robert and myself, took a picnic lunch into the wods. We built our fire in our favorite spot, down by the stream, and after lunch we three grown ups sat and talked while the two children went off to play. They took with them an old tennis ball which Mary had given them.
 All at once we heard Claire's voice: Look out, Robert! That's poison ivy!" "I know it is, silly" replied Robert; T wasn't going to touch it but we've got to get the ball, haven't we?" Here" con- tinued Claire, "let me fish it out with this stick.'
 I caught Mrs Johnson's eye. That won't do," I said; well have to stop them." But MT Johnson was already on his feet. Hold on, there, Claie" he called, and off he went in the direction of their voices. In few moments he re- appeared with two protesting youngsters.

 A quick-drying mask is one of the best pick-me-ups for tired complexion. It, assuming you use good one, does three things tightens, tones and bleaches.
 There are many different types of masks-some come in powder form and are to be mixed with water or milk to make a smooth paste. One particularly nice mask that has the consistency of thick tissue cream, smells like fresh fruit and really leaves the skin in fine condition, needs to be left on only about ten minutes. This one, since it never does get hard, is especially good for dry skins. Here's the way to give yourself a mask treatment:
 First of all, clean your skin. Sing, hum or whistle while you're about it. That's important, you know, because you can't look un- happy while singing and a pleasant facial expression is absolutely

necessary if you're to get real ben- eft from a mask. When you've finished cleansing, pat on skin tonic or douse your skin with cold water.
 Then, using both hands and keeping your elbows up and re- faxed, begin at the base of your throat and smooth the mask up- ward and outward completely GOV ering every inch of skin. Don't get it into your eyes but be sure and put it around them. Stop singing-don't even speak aloud! Instead, lie down and rest for fif- teen minutes. When you get up, rinse it all off with cold water and then put on makeup.
