THE SAAR BASIN

The coming election or plebiscite in the
Saar Basin next Sunday is an echo of the
World war that may have considerable
bearing on the future of European peace,
and as such is of worldwide interest.
An area of 737 square miles, with a
population of over 805, 900, the Saar
Basin is geographically German terri
tory, lying south of the German Rhine
province and Immediately north of the
French department of Lorraine. 1t was,
by the terms of the Versatile treaty at
the conclusion of the World war; turned
over to France for exploitation of its
coal mines for period OF 10 years.
Development of its rich mines was
granted to France as reparation for the
destruction of mines in northern France
by the Germans. Before the war the
area had an annual production of 12,000,-
600 tons of coal This figure is believed
to have been exceeded by the French,
who with their natural thrift, have been
making fullest use of the opportunity to
mine the coal they need. Value of the
coal has been credited to the amount of
reparation due from Germany.
The treaty provided that during the
Is year period, the Saar Basin should be
under the jurisdiction of the League of
Nations, which annually appointed
commission of five to govern the district.
Germany, in the treaty, recognized the
League as its trustee during the period
of occupancy.
At the conclusion of the Is year per-
iod, terms of the treaty provided, the in
habitants of the Saar Basin were to de-
termine by plebiscite, their future
form of government. They could return
to German control, be annexed to France
or continue indefinitely under the semi
autonomous rule of the League.
Sunday voting is to decide which of
these three steps will be taken. Germany
is making frantic efforts to have the
vote return the Saar Basin to her Par
ticularly are the NaZis active in this re-
spect. There have been frequent clashes
between Nazis and non-NaZis as the date
of voting nears, while troops from Great
Britain, Sweden and Italy, invited by the
League to enter the Saar to maintain
neutrality and order during the election,
have also had few brushes with the in
habitants, who tolerate their presence
but do not welcome it.
Whatever the outcome of the plebiscite
is it can hardly be expected to be salts
factory to ALL There is fear that if the
Saar returns to Germany. it may be the
signal for a "putsch" by the Nazis
against Austria. For this reason Mus
soini is massing the Italian army near
the Austrian border ready to act if Ger
many makes an overt move
France will not like the idea of giving
up the territory it has controlled for Is
years but indications are that it will be
forced to do SO. Germany has called
back former residents of the Saar from
numerous foreign countries nd is
charged with paying their expenses in
order to get them to vote for return

 Mascara. correctly applied, makes eyelashes look longer and more lux urious and enhances the beauty of the eyes themselves. Generally speaking, you ought to pick brown or black, depending on the natural color of your lashes. However. cer- tain new blues and East Indian wines are attractive, particularly if lights in the ballroom are a decided amber.
 When you have finished putting on powder, dip the mascara brush in water (be sure to use plenty of water too little is the cause of smudges and smears), then whisk it lightly across the cake of mascara. Opening your eyes wide. use upward strokes to cover every lash. See that each one is coated with one stroke of the brush. Don't apply a second layer. If any spills over on the skin around your eyes, remove 1t immediately with a bit of cleansing cream.

So often 1 have advised mothers about the wisdom of saving the voice that 1t gave me much satis- faction when a young woman came to my home and gave testimony.
 Said she, Bobby is four years old. He is Q serious, nice little fellow, but recently he has been up to mischief. One of his pet meannesses was to get out of bed at six in the morning and stamp around on hard wood stairs or floors until he had the whole fam- fly awake.
 His father Scolded him and one day trounced him soundly for it. I harangued him and said what I thought, too. Usually l was furious enough to do any thing.
 Adjustment" Created Crisis
 "He also took to having tan- trums. He would clench his teeth and scream until thought I'd go mad. Sometimes he was balky and refused to do the most normal and regular things. We could not understand this sudden change until we found out that the fourth year was the time for adjustment and that such things were to be expected.
 However. we could not let him go on. At least not for another year or two when they say that reason helps. He was acting atro- ciously. Our dear little Bobby had suddenly become a nuisance.
 "Then an idea came to me-. said to Robert, my husband, that we would try silence. Don't scold him for c month"; I urged. No matter how bad he is, keep silent. He is only playing for more atten- ton because the baby is taking his place, or so he thinks
 Then He Got Worse
 Sometimes it was hard. For three days he was worse than ever. We harly knew what to do. He broke his toys, threw things. and at the table acted like e little fiend. He was worse, 1t seemed, when his father was home. But we shut our lips tight and bore it in silence. Not one word. We paid no more attention to him than if he had not been there.

Paris Styles Rx MARY FENTRERs

Paris (UP0 - Paris has not yet decided the skirt length for evening wear, with the result that the hernline wavers uncertainty anywhere between mid-calf length and the floor.
 Mainbocher shows the short- skirted dinner and evening dress, usually sleeveless with moderate ly low back. This house likewise shows skirts draped diagonally and split so that part of the leg is seen, while some skirts here are long in back and almost mid-calf length if, front.
 Maggy Rouff achieves the uneven hemline by draping skirts in such a way that the side or front will be caught up to display the leg from above the ankle, while the rest of the skirt remains long. Molyne,lx makes restaurant dresses which are slightly above. ankle length, while Chanel and Patou retain the floor length line, although the lat ter house frequently shows skirts that are split or draped in such a way as to disclose part of the leg. Chanel's daytime skirts are much shorter and her waistlines lower but she preserves the dignity of long -skirted evening clothes.
 Schiaparelli hikes up the skirts of evening clothes to reveal an un- derskirt of contrasting material oi the same shade as the dress, or sometimes pulls up the skirt in front to show straight satin trousers of a contrasting shade. There are few trains, although many houses stress back skirt fuilness which flares out to trail a bit in back.

 MY DEAR VITA VAIL: |

 questions. Listen Vita, I have
 had a man in my life for four
 years and I don't seem to be able

 out with him three or four times
 and while he seems to like my
 company, he never asks me to go
 with him steady. | can't seem to

 wild times. Can you tell me why he doesn't ask me to go steady
 with him? Or will he ever be
 mine? I am 21 years old.
 MARGUERITE D.
 Now, my dear Marguerite: The fact that in four years this young man has invited you out just three or four times, would suggest that he does not return your deep in- terest. You say that he likes your company. It is hard for me to de- eide how much he really cares for you. But 1t would seem that the few times you have been in his company, he must have been more than just pleased with you. Mar guerite, am going to be painfully frank, since you asked my candid opinion. Possibly you did not ap- pear to have the education which this young man desires in steady girl friend. You see, to-day, aInbj- tious young men look for 8 certain amount of culture and education in the girls whom they intend to mar ry. Many a man is held back in his business career, by having a wife who is not educated. Lack

FEED THE CHILDREN MOLASSES
 HI JANUARY
 January or July, when I say mo- lasses I mean molasseS and not the sulphurous stuff they palm of on you if you look like that kind of a customer.
 In flavor alone, if there were not another reason, real old fashioned molasses is so far from the modern imitation that 1t seems absurd to call the latter molasses at all.
 Children who are compelled to eat spinach because spinach Is rich in iron and calcium will welcome the assurance, which I am happy to give, that old fashioned nnolaseeS is three times as rich in iron and twice as rich in calcium as the fin- est spinach you ever pushed down your esophagus.
 Molasses in January, February and March is as wholesome, appe- tizing, digestible and nutritious as it is in April, May and June. Chil- dren or adults who get lots of exef- else in daily play or ct work, should have @ liberal ration of sugar, and there is no more desirable form of sugar for human nutrition than good old fashioned sulphur free mo- laSses.
 Sulphur dioxide (sulphurouS acid) is present in the modern Concoc- ton sold as 'molasses", because this chemical is added in the process of manufacturing sugar--to bleach the naturally golden brown sugar. Most customers, badly educated, want only colorless or white sugar. This abnormal taste or demand spells . lot of molasses. Fortunately this de- licious old fashioned nolasses is still produced here and there, in the old fashioned way, that is. by boiling down the sugar cane in open kettles.
 Some one noticed that chemical analyses of crude brown sugar and refined white sugar indicate that the crude brown sugar contains many times more calcium than re- fined white sugar, and jumped to the unscientific conclusion that everyone should consume crude brown sugar exclusively because most people do not get enough cal- cium. It may be true that most people do not get enough calcium in the ordinary diet Of re1ineo foods, but the amount even In sugar

Personally. should not choose crude brown or raw refined brown sugar in preference to re- fined white sugar unless I liked the taste of it better.
 Old fashioned rnolasses is true cane syrup, made by boiling the juice of the sugar cane in open ket- tie until the proper consistency is reached-precisely as maple syrup is made from the juice or sap. This cane syrup is as wholesome and healthful as it is palatable and at- tractive. and is justly growing in popularity among discriminating housekeepers. As table syrup 1t is ideal.
