Grafton to Pacific fertilization problems
and that impetus had been given to
the study since Japan's abrogation of
the naval treaties.
The necessity for adequate bases in
the Pacific was demonstrated forcibly
last May during the annual fleet ma
neuvers off Hawaii and the Aleutian
islands, According to reports, the
navy high command in report of the
lessons learned in the exercises strong
ly recommended an Aleutian islands
base.
The United States naval bases are
few and far between as against those
of Japan and Great Britain, which lie
along the principal courses of English
and Japanese traffic lines. The Ameri-
can bases are relatively obsolete.
CERMANY'S diplomatic note con-
~ corning the Communist attack on
the liner Bremen in the port of New
York took the form of request that
the offenders be punished but asked
for no apology. Acting Secretary of
State William Phillips, in his reply
handed to the German charge DAT
flares, DR.. Rudolf Leitner, told briefly
the efforts Of the New York police to
guard the vessel and to subdue the
mob, and pointed out that some of
those who took part in the attack
were arrested. The German note said
the incident constituted an insult to
Germany.
In his press conference President
Roosevelt declined to comment on the
affair. Asked about the protest of
Jewish organizations against the Ger
man governments religious attitude,
the President intimated that the ad-
ministration's view was fully expressed
by Mr.. Phillips reply in which he ex-
pressed sympathy for anyone who was
denied religious liberty.
Representative Dickstein of New
York told the house that no apology
was due to Germany for the Bremen
incident and that neither the federal
nor the local authorities were to blame
for it. He asserted the attack was
made possible by "a selfish desire on
the part of the skipper of the Bremen,
who would not take police advice to
halt visiting to the ship and lose the
revenue of visitors"
Over in Germany the saner men in
authority recognized that the Nazis
were going too far and were probably
headed for a fall if not restrained.
DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the
Reichsbank and economic dictator of
the reich, uttered a solemn warning to
the anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic
forces, declaring that the great task
which the German people must fulfill
to comply with the wishes of Hitler
cannot be fulfilled unless "all distur-
Dances are ended, be they in the intel
lectual or economic field"
Among developments in the current
campaign against the Steel Helmets,
the World War Veterans organization,
the Schutzstaffel or "black corps"
formed to protect the person Of Hit
Ter, gave out warning that it must
be reckoned with in the event of
showdown against "state enemies"
and asserting its complete loyalty to
der fuehrer. The proclamation closed
with these ominoas words:
"For many reasons it would be deep
ly regretted if the Steel Helmets, by
their own fault, should come to dis
honorable end"

Senator Vandenberg Of Michigan, often
mentioned as Presidential possibility,
also demanded postponement Of the

clared that 1--WE chatter of taxes in

Etiquette
Announcing a
Wedding
ByMRS. S.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

RS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
II am planning to be married
at the minister's home in the
afternoon with no one present
but the families. 1 have been
wondering if it would be absO-
lutely correct to have an infor-
NAL reception afterwards at my
home.
"How should the invitations
be issued, by note or simply by
asking the guests to come? AS
the wedding will be small, 1
want to keep the whole thing
as informal as possible.
Should announcements be
sent out? Should one have an
attendant at the ceremony?
"N."
Yes, it would be thoroughly
correct, and very delightful, for
you to have an informal gath
ering of your relatives and
friends, after your wedding, at
your home. Notes written by
your mother, who is to be the
hostess, or inviratiorS given
verbally, would be the appropri-
ate form.
It is correct, and a very con-
venient way of making the an
nouncement to those who are
not invited to the wedding, to
send formal, engraved an
nouncementS. The announce
mentS should be all ready to
mail directly after the ceremony
has been performed.
Whether or not the bride has
an attendant at her informal
wedding depends entirely on her
own choice. Usually there is a
maid of honor or a matron of
honor, but this is not at all
necessary, if the bride prefers
to dispense with an attendant.

FRIENDSHIP

religion, and our parents are
highly respected citizens and
friends. do not smoke, drink
or pet, but rumOrs are going
around that the boy friend and
1 are going STEADY" and that
we're both too young for that.
Daddy won't let me go with
other boys until I'm older. This
boy and I do not run around in
cars, and when we attend q
dance, the chauffeur generally
takes us, or we go with my older
sister and her boy friend, in his
car. Sometimes we go to the
movies together, and that's
another thing which starts the
neighbOrs talking.
"My mother believes in having
faith in her children, and 1
think it's splendid to have a
trusting mother. "MARGIE." !"
This boy and girl friendship
seems to fill all the requirements
of propriety, and it would be
foolish to pay any attention to
the silly gossip of neighbors.
If you follow this column, my
dear Margie, you must know
that I approve highly of boy and
girl friendships, when the par
entS, like yours, are sensible,

Cakes and Cookies

Little gems of cakes! And
though you might never guess
it, they're just cup cakes, made
from a simple butter-cake
recipe. It's the delicate frosting
and the trimmings" that give
them their air of saying Lets
have a party"
Often, you'll notice, it's the
simplest kind of frosting that
are most successful that
brings the most flattering COM
pliments. The icing used for
our festive small cakes is a
quickly made uncooked frost"
ing "a deliciouSly smooth,
creamy one that you can vary
in flavor and coloring. This
is the basic recipe:
Butter Cream FrOsting
2 tablespoons butter
l egg white
2 cups powdered sugar
l teaspoon vanilla
u teaspoon almond extract.
Cream butter, add unbeaten
egg white, and beat thoroughly,
gradually working in sugar and
flavorings. If you'd prefer a
softer frosting, add l table
spoon boiling water and beat
hard for a minute.
Now for variations Of the
recipe, and some trimmings"
In place of vanilla and almond
flavoring use a tablespoon of
orange juice and a little grated
orange rind. To make a luS-
cious mocha-flavored frosting,
omit the almond extract from
the basic recipe, and add 6
tablespoons of sifted cocoa, 12
teaspoon cinnamon, and about
2 tablespoons Of strong, hot
coffee.
Frost little chocolate cakes
with the mocha or plain FROST
ing, and decorate with choco-
late sprinkles, coconut, or
chopped nuts. Make butterfly
cakes-youngsters love these
by sticking little wings" Of
cake into the frosting. Color
the plain frosting with vege-
table food coloring, and have
delicately tinted little cakes for
special parties.

Rule for Good
Grooming
BY DONNA GRACE


The art of appearing we'll
groomed takes, first, the knowl-
edge of what to do, and after
that, lots of practice in doing it.
You must learn what really is
in good taste for your type and
general appearance. 1t is not so
difficult if you will seriously
study yourself.
Stand before the mirror and
try to pick out all your good
points and bad ones, too.
Decide for yourself just what
type of woman you are. If you
are tall and slender, you will
find it very easy to make your
self attractive, but you must be
careful about your beauty aids
with a stout figure.
1t is possible for everyone to
have the advice of experts on
every step of your dress and
there is much to be said on
make-up-So try to be correct
in every detail and to conform
with the dictates of fashion as
much as possible.
Your skin must be immacu-
late and healthy to express the
dainty charm that is part of
good grooming. Eat very spar
ingly of fat or rich foods, such
as pastries and sweets, if you
would have a clear skin.
Green salads, fruits and vege.
tables for a general diet, with
lean meat once a day, is the
best rule to follow for good
looks and good health.
Dear Donna Grace: Can you
tell me if a circular motion Of
the hips, such as ! hula dancer
does, is beneficial in reducing
hips? How many times a day
is necessary? z. A."
Dear Miss z. A.: The hip
swinging motion used by hula
dancers is a good movement
for exercise of the whole body.
When done for the purpose of
reducing it will be necessary
to work at it regularly and
vigorously two or three times
a day.
