PARIS STYLES
By MARY FENTRESs

Paris (UP).-Dorothy Dickson. the charming blond English ac- tress who is considered one of the five best dressed women in London. proves that an actress can be practical as well as chic in choosing a wardrobe.
 She wears an unusual gown which serves the dual purpose of a dinner or evening dress. The bodice is of tomato red print ed with square white dice and fas- tening in front with exaggerated hooks and eyes of diamante. A double fold of white chiffon edges the neck, which is high in back a:.I cut to deep V in front. The same fold of chiffon is repeated as an upturned band about the pep lum of the basque. With this she wears long gauntlet gloves of the red and white print.
 The skilt of foamy chiffon is split from the waist to the hem to reveal an underslip of heavy white satin. The dinner outfit can be converted into a formal evening gown by removing the red basque to show the corsage of white chiffon underneath, which is untrimmed and cut to a low V back and front.
 She has an in-between dress which is equally practical in a sheer wool fabric of chartreuse green. The dress Is fashioned with a high V neck and tailored breast pockets on either side. The back is. slit down the center right to the waist and there are slits at the sides of the skirt.
 With this dress she wears deep brown suede belt, shoes, bag and gloves and little brown hat with a turn-up brim like a modified Breton sailor. The dress is tailored, almost sports dress, Lut for the split back and skirt, which dress it up sufficiently for formal wear.

Funeral Arrangements For
 Senator Thomas D. SchaH

The party will arrive in Minne- apolis at 8 &. m. Thursday. Burial will be in Lakewood cemetery. Fu- neral services will be conducted at 2:30 p. m. by the Rev. Charles Fox Davis, Methodist Episcopal clergy man, in. the cemetery chapel. Four senators and two representatives will officially represent congress.
 The death of Schall and the as- sassination of Huey P. Long removed from the senate since adjournment last August two of the administra- tion's most outspoken critics. They ofttimes worked together in attack ing New Deal legislation. Schall fought the administration in and out of congress. His assaults brought him into frequent clashes with ad- ministration leaders. Senate Ma jority Leader Joseph T. Robinson objected to some of his attacks.
 Schall's death brought to an end varied and colorful career. An ex- ploding cigar lighter blinded him at the age of 30. just when he was gaining fame as an attorney. His wife became his eyes and he contin- ued his practice. He was elected to the house of representatives in 1916 as an iildependent. Later he became a republican. He defeated Mangus Johnson, farmer -laborite. for the senate in 1924 and was reelected.

RABBI REVIEWS
 JEWISH CULTURE.
Mems Club Hears Interests ing Address By New
 York Guest Speaker

An appraisal of Jewish culture through the ages was made last night by Rabbi Milton Steinberg,. of the Park avenue synagogue of New York, in an address at the Beth-El synagogue forum last night Rabbi William P. Greenfield presided at the forum, which is being held weekly under the sponsorship of the Mems club.
 Jewish civilization, he said, has had balance all through the ages, that enabled it to remain on an even keel and to continue its voy- age through the centuries while other civilizations were laundering and sinking.
 Contrasting the civilization of the Greeks and the Jews of 2100 years ago, he pointed out, how cultured and how advanced was the Helene mode of living, but how lacking 1t was in depth and substance. Juda- ism, he said, had that depth and substance.
 "The Greeks knew how to live" he said,' describing the richness of their social life and explaining that they had an etiquette as mod ern as Emily Posts. Alexander was not only a gret conqueror but he spread Greek culture all over the known world so that the children in Palestine, Syria, Per- sia and Egypt read Homer, stu- died the Greek system of mathe- matics and philosophy. In fact their school book of geometry was practically the same as ours.
 "The Jews were just a little island in the Greek sea-" he said. Tn fact most of them spoke Greek. Why did they refuse to sub- init to what, even today seems a high standard of culture?"
 The Jews, he claimed, would not submit because their civilization was one of hope. They had a God and a religion; they had centuries of tra- dition behind them; they held to the ideals of charity, mercy and goodness.

lomatic developments there this week.
 However, there was significant announcement that Britain is going to reorganize and modernize its army, and that officers of the Bri- tish and French general staffs had conferred on possible military col- Liberation in event of war. After Christmas, Britain was gen. orally expected to push for stronger sanctions at Geneva, and to continue her efforts to line up the major powers of Europe, especially on the Mediterranean in armed support II Britain is attacked by Italy.
 Increase British Army
 London, Dec. 23-(UP)-The gov- ernment moved to bring the British army up to the top pitch of modern efficiency today, with an order for reorganization more extensive than any in the army's history.
 Following up programs to strength en the navy and the air force, the war office announced detailed plans to make the army swifter striking force.
 Eight cavalry regiments are to be transformed from horse to mobile mechaniZed units. A cavalry brigade in Egypt is to be mechanized. There are to be three regimental units in the mechanized force, armored car regiments, motorized cavalry regi- ments and cavalry-light tank regi- ments. The mechanization will leave but six horsed cavalry regi- ments in Great Britain and six in India.
 Two battalions of foot guards and 13 infantry regiments are to be converted into machine gun units.
 Fierce Struggle
 Asmara, Eritrea, Dec. 23.-(UP)- One of the most fierce skirmishes of the war in the northern Tembien region of Ethiopia, where followers of Ras Siyoum are hiding out and making forays, broke out yesterday near Enda Marian, where Italian white and native troops encoun- tered 5000 Philippians.

stitute the sanctuary of hope for the true believer. There are others who will speak of Christmas as a snare and 8 delusion. The commun- ists of Russia and mayhap 8 few closer home, speak of religion, as "the opiate of the people" New na- tionalisms have arisen since the World war, and indeed think, as the direct result of that war, which are unalterably opposed in their fundamental philosophy and ruth less, brutal methods to the spirit that was in Christ. Our brethren in Germany, the men and women of the churches, have to maintain their witness in these days in the face of official propaganda against the Christian faith. Dr. Goebbels has pjroclaimed that the national socialist party does not need Ito have the Lord God as an enrolled member of that party"
 The issues do not seem so acute in America. That which flinders the work of the church, that which re- strains the advance of the Kingdom, is not defiant opposition but rather neglect and indifference. The churches and the church people of America are respectable in the eyes of the people at large, There is no effort on the part of the government to restrain the work of the churches or to deny the truth of the things we firmly believe. Yet would re- mind you that a man like Johr. Dewey said that The chief danger to religion lies in the fact that it has become so respectable" We do not infer that we are to take pains No, but I have a shrewd suspicion to be anything less than respectable. that if the Christian churches of America really took seriously the things we say at Christmas time, and all through the year, about brotherhood, and good will, and peace, we should be likely to find ourselves at one and the same time, less popular with the world and more serviceable in the kingdom of God. Jesus in the days of his flesh was the best loved and the best hated man in all Palestine. He aroused hopes in mems hearts which encompassed the eternities but at the same time he was the most feared man entering unto Jeru- salem. It was the hopes of mems hearts that gave Him his triumphal entry at the opening of Passion week. It was the fears of the lead CTS of the people that crucif1ed Him on cross before that same week was ended. Even at Christmas I would put the test of obedience. If God is Father. where is His honor? If the Lord of Hosts is our master, where is the fear that is His due? If Jesus was born to be Lord and king, are we faithful and loyal in His service?"

down decisions prior to a two- weeks holiday.
 Determination of the suits brought by eight Louisiana rice mil1ers, may affect the status of 1900 other A.A.A. processing taxes.
 Belief that the court was to act in the rice cases was based on its action several weeks ago in issuing stay to prevent the government from collecting $200,000 in taxes. The court has been reluctant to is- sue injunctions in any but the most unusual cases.
 The court indicated, when the cases were argued last week, that it was impatient with processors who attempt to interfere with the normally unchallenged right of the government to collect revenues.
 The nine justices met Saturday to discuss cases argued during the week. While such an early decision would be unusual, 1t was not re- garded as impossible.
 Lindbergh Law Test
 The supreme court today, fixed January 13 to hear arguments on interpretation of the Lindbergh kid naping law as applied in the case of Arthur Gooch, Paris, Texas.
 Gooch and a companion Kidnapped an officer who attempted to arrest them in Paris, carried him to Okla- homa and there released him, alleg- edly badly beaten. 5}
 When the case was appealed to the circuit court of appeals in Den- yer that court asked the supreme court to decide whether this con stituted violation of the kidnar law.
