.COOLIE, beret, breton? Derby,
~ fedora, turban? Take your
pick, mesdames, for all are smart,
and whichever one is best for you
is your hat. That is the grand
thing about this particular season.
There are enough millinery fash
ions to go around. No more woes
because a turban is cruel to your
profile But a hat that has wide
brim on one side. Don't sigh if yoIr
forehead isn't as smooth as ala
baSter. Buy a hat that covers 1t.
That is the first cry of the new
hats. They are made to flatter you.
There is nothing hard to wear in
any Of them. They all have perfect
lines that will be a joy when you
try them on.
The shallow crowns in hats con-
tinue There will be no protest
against this, if we know our fash

youthful piquancy that these tiny
little affairs give. And they are
comfortable on the head.
No one need to worry that they

first whisper of a wind. Not since

You are in a tough situation
and you wish to escape, not by
laborious personal effort, but by
the fairy tale route. Rescue by
a sort of fairy godfather would
not put you to the inconvenience
of battling unpleasant reality.
You plan to atone for your cow
ardly desertion by shoWering ma
terial advantages on your children
and helping the poor, but your
reasoning is faulty. You do not
reckon with the psychological
damage done to your children by
discarding a father whom they
love.
It is the experience of divorced
women who checked out their
husbands for far better reasons
than you have, that their children
idealize the absent parent and
never quite forgive the mother
for leaving him. Many of them
develop serious personality disOr-
ders, particularly around puberty,
and are apparently immune to
their mothers influence. Money
does not console them for the
emotional wrench.
Again the value Of your plan to
help the poor is open to question.
The only real way to help others
is by releasing their energies and

elastic bands to tuck under your
curls to keep them in place.
There is much to be said in favor
of the fabrics of the new season.
There has been a decided return Of
body" hats. BY this is meant felt,
velour and soleil. These are all
sturdy materials that can brave the
winter elements most successfully
They are rich and fine looking and
their return is sure Of a big well

Black and White Go Youthful
BY GERTRUDE BAILEY

IF you can take your black dresses
Il straight without one enlivening
bit Of color or one softening detail,
you ought to run for movie test,
for 1t takes hawless femininity to
shoulder stark simplicity.
Most Of us are sufficiently con-
scious Of our imperfections to ap-
preciate clothes that do something
for US without distorting the origi-
nal meaning Of good taste.
Black and white, handled deity,
is one Of the most wearable and
fiattering fashions any season. 1t

engaging them in useful occupa-
tionS. Your idea of helping by
spending money which you did
not earn may give you pleasant
sense of power, but it car not
be considered as a serious social
contribution.
The only hope you have as a
character is to develop the
strength to meet your difficulties
one by one without wasting your
energies in dreaming of fanciful
escapes.
Dear Jane Jordan-I offer my ex-
perience in the hope that it will
make others on the brink of I'M
happiness put little thought into
what they do. I was married to a
man whom I now realize was far
better than the average, for -four
years. The first year we were ever
so happy. Then my husband start
ed to drink. not steadily, but on Sat-
urday evening when he was out with
friends. AS I look back, this was
not the worst he could do.
However, it made me angry ano
then would nag him. The upshot
was that I got a divorce.
AS 1 see it now I would do any
thing to have him back. 1t is too
late for it has been two years since
my divorce, but I can not stop
thinking of him NV advice tn COLL
pies who are thinking of divorce is
not to be too hasty. 1t may appear
right at the time, but there are al
ways two sides to a question.
LONESOME.
Answer-A forlorn laundering
for what might-have-been is dou-
bly, painful when honesty compels
us to admit that we have no one
to thank but ourselves.

TODAY'S sketch offers conclusive
i proof that black and white is
by no means monopOlized by sophis-
ticated matrons, though it is a first
choice with them.
Here are youthful lines, expressed
in a two-piece effect daytime frock
that has a gilet of white matelasse
crepe, shirred at the neckline, and
outlined by jabot type pleatings OF
the black alpaca. Identical pleat-
ings run around the wrists, almost
Victorian. and stop short at the
sides of the long. straight sleeves.

pretations of a sophisticated con-

tailoring on others than yourself.
THERE are two accessory cues to
il be followed, first, for street,
and second. for afternoon and cock

implies restraint in the choice of
black accessories-perhaps a black

and short black kid gloves.

School Garb
Emphasizes
Simplicity
Colds Serve as Models
at Block Stores
Style Show.
BY ELIZABETH CARR

CaSualneSS and a smart simplicity
in fashions await the 1884 college
girl for her activities which take
her from exams to campus dances
with alarming rapidity.
College clothes as chosen by COL
lege girls we're paraded informally
yesterday afternoon on the second
floor of the William H. Block Com
pany store.
It's the details that count-the
slim, straight lines; bright, rich coll
ors; ingenious trimmings and APP
propriate accessories. ClaSsroomS
will be full of two piece jersey out
fits with a riotous plaid, check or
mixed design top; ribbed knit
sweater suits and bright wool
dresses.
A grass green wool is set off with
a brown velveteen Buster Brown
bow and small velvet buttons; a
splash of color on a brown knit
outfit is the Set-in orange sleeves
and orange yoke, and powder blue
tassels are the only relief on a
maroon red ribbed sweater suit
with plain knit yoke.

Sweater Sets Noted

Twin sweater sets in subtle shade
blendings are worn over plain skirts
with the ever popular suede jacket.
Sports suits in mixed tweed are fur
trimmed or plain and the inside
Jacket coat may be double breasted
or designed as a vest. A maroon
mixed four-piece suit is worn with
a maroon jersey inside sweater and
an extra jersey skirt goes along for
good measure.
Creased crown feltS are worn at a
jaunty angle and rough grain un-
Scdffable oXfords with Upper and
buckles add to the SturdineSs of
footwear. One outfit in dark blue
wool with a double breasted vest is
topped with blue and white plaid
.seyen-eighth Swagger coat.
Metallic threads run riot through
woods and CrepeS which will be worn
with dressier accessories for street
and afternoon occasions.
A green silk has an ingeniously
tucked top, and a red, yellow and
green plaid velvet collar falls in
loose folds at the neck of a black
crepe. Metallic thread in gold runs
in diagonal pattern through green
crepe, which is buttoned down the
shoulders with small gold buttons
and gold thread brightens a gray
WOOL
Jackets and scarfS are detachable,
and when removed reveal metallic
and lame blouses or vestee. Under
dusty rose lame jacket is worn a
black crepe dress with bib effect of
matching rose. Gay velvets and
silks are shown at the necks Of
street frockS.

Fur Trims Coats

Coats have gone luxurious with
fur piled high. A Forstmann coat in
brown with blue fox collar boasts a
matching fur muff.
Simplicity of design sets off the
elegance Of velvet, satin and crepe
evening gowns. A gold lame is de-
signed with high neck, slit to the
WaiStline in back and sweeping to
the floor. Brown Velvet and lame
are combined in a jacket shirtwaist
outfit and a cobalt blue uncut vel
vet gown in daring cut has no trim
ming.
A blue transparent velvet bow on
a raspberry crepe outfit may be
worn at the neck of the seven
eighths coat or snapped on the neck
of the evening gown whose blue
velvet shoulder straps form low
deColletage in black.

Scott at Theory

One theory about the drouth In the
Northern Central states, much talked
about recently, Is scoffed at by the
bureau experts. That is the theory
about the change In course of the Jap
anese current being responsible. 1t
was d pretty theory. The only thing
that is wrong about it, according to
the weather bureau, Is that the Jap
anese current has not changed Its
course.
But 1t Is true that the winds carrying
moisture from the Pacific, which for
merly flowed down the Mckenzie val
ley and hence dropped their moisture
over the now drouth stricken area,
did not blow that way last winter, or
this summer so far. They have been
passing over the Hudson Bay country
and thence down the Atlantic coast of
the United States. Which accounts
for the much heavier SHOWS In that
region last winter and the more than
usually abundant rainfall this spring
and summer.
The Japanese current theory being
out, the weather bureau experts adj
NIT frankly they have not the slightest
Idea why these winds changed their
course. Nor whether they could do
anything about 1t IL they did.
The worst feature about any drouth,
the experts point out, is that 1t tends
to fatten on itself. Here again enters
the hen and egg problem. Once
drouth starts, Mr. Kincer explains,
every additional day of 1t makes II
less likely that It, will rain the next
day. The point is that the drouth
enhances the heat, and the heat
lessons the chances for the mois-
ture to carry winds to be chilled,
and therefore precipitate their mols-
ture.
Naturally this does not 20 on to
what might seem Its logical conclu-
sion. for 1t always rains eventually.
But short OF moving few icebergs
into the path OF these hot moisture
carrying winds. no one has proposed
anything that can be done about 1t.

Worldwide Drouth

Possibility that the entire world Ii
headed for a drouth Is admitted by
officials Of the weather bureau. This is
not prediction. 1t is simply ad-
mitted as possibility.
The point Is, according to Chief
Meteorological Joseph B. KIncer, that
temperatures all over the world are
slightly above normal, and records
show that high temperatures and
drouths so together.
Which condition produces the other
Is another question. 1t Is like the hen
and the egg, Mr.. Kincer comments.
All we know" he said, as that each
induces or produces the other. The
point here is very simple. To pro-
dnce rainfall, winds carrying moisture
must be chilled. II the weather Is
very hot, the winds are not chilled,
and therefore do not precipitate.
"On the other hand, absence of rain
tends to produce heat, SO we get back
to the hen and the egg illustration"
Some scientists, Mr.. Kincer admit
ted, blame the higher temperatures on
the sun spots. The weather bureau
Is not certain about this. OF course
actually the bureau concerns itself
only about the weather OF the United
States. Weather outside this country
LIS interesting only as 1t may affect
weather inside this country. Though
this is very much more widespread
than might at first be thought.
For example, the drouth In Soviet
Russia, resulting, according to cables
received from London, In purchases OF
Argentine wheat by the Soviet re-
public. has a very marked influence
In the United States because 1t boosts
the price of wheat
But that Is not the concern of the
weather bureau. Another division of
the Department OF Agriculture worries
about that What conditions do con-
Germ the weather bureau outside the
United States are changes In Canada,
the Arctic, the Pacific, the Atlantic and
Mexico, which result In changes In
rainfall or temperature In the United
States.

Criminal Often Helped
by Laws of Extradition

are safe from the vengeance of your
own country's laws.
1t Is well known that political Of
Tenders are safe from extradition,
which Is why unsuccessful revolution
aries and plotters against govern
ments spend so much time In exile.
But the police of several countries
have been willy enough to try to get
round this provision.
When they have wanted 4 political
refugee they have brought criminal
charge against him, so as to get him
into his own country, where he could
be dealt with for his political Of
Tense.
This little dodge, though, is de-
feated by the laws of extradition;
for. II required, the police applying
for extradtion are bound to show
that their man Is not to be charged
with any infraction of the law In
connection with the politics of his
native country.
On one occasion the police of a
certain foreign power were anxious
to reclaim 4 political offender who
had fled to London, so they unearthed
a trifling robbery OF which he had
been guilty some years before, and
tried to get him extradited ON that.
But his counsel was able to prove, to
the satisfaction of the London mag
istrate, two important facts.
One was that he had paid back the
stolen money, and the other was that
prosecution begun at the time had
been dropped. So once again the for
eign detectives had to depart with
out tEeir prey.
But the person whose extradition
is sought Is further protected by the
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1934-07-05

ExtradItlon law Is tricky thing
to handle. At first sight 1t seems a
simple thing. If citizen OF Ruitanla
fees into Cadonia because he does
not wish to be dealt with by the laws
of his own country, Ruritania has
every right to say to Cadonia, Hand
over our citizen, so that we may In
vestigate these charges against him.
In actual practice 1t is not so easy,
states the Cape Argus. To begin
with refugee can only be delivered
up to the officers of the law II the
offense charged Is also an offense
under the code of the country In
which he has taken refuge. But
these things differ. A man can COM
NIT deed which In Great Britain Is
punishable, and, by taking refuge In
certain foreign countries, be free
from anxiety. because 1t does not
figure in the penal code of those
countries.
A bank clerk In New York did
some clever Juggling with the funds
under his control and went to Lon
don. Hot on his heels went couple
of New York detectives; and appli-
cation for extraditIon was made. I'M
fortunately for hisl pursuers, his Of
Tense was described as forgery"
and in English law 1t is not so re-
garded.
Therefore. the English magistrate
had no hesitation In refusing the ap-
plication, and the sleuths from New
York went away sorrowful.
Offenses generally regarded In In.
ternatIonal treaties as eytraditable
are murder, attempted murder. or
manslaughter, also such crimes
against the community as arson,
bigamy, embezzlement, fraud, coun-
terfeIting and kidnapping. An ali
sconding fraudulent bankrupt may
also be pursued and brought back.
But mere wounding, or doing bodily
harm to a person, Is not extradltable
unless permanent injury or Inca
paclty Is caused. So Il you beat up
your enemy and then flee to Spain or
France, or somewhere handy, you
