THE FLOWER OF REMEMBRANCE
 AND HOPE

Topples will bloom in Juneau next Saturday, glowing on the coats of remembering Americans in honor of the World War dead The women of AL ford John Bradford Unit of the American Legion Auxiliary will offer the poppies the streets giv- ing every one an opportunity to pay tribute to the war dead and to help the wars living victims with contributions given for the little red flowers
 The American Legion poppy not only gives us a means of rendering personal tribute to the mem ory of those brave young who sacrificed their lives for America, it also gives means of aiding those who also sacrificed but are still within reach of our help From the annual wearing of the little flower come benefits reaching into every corner of the country and touching the lives of thousands of unfortunate men, and children.
 The vast program of welfare and rehabilitation work carried out by the American Legion and Aux Hilary draws its principal support from the poppy The dimes quarters and half dollars we drop into the coin boxes of the poppy workers supply the for local state and national activities for the bene- fits of disabled veterans and the families left in need through the death disability of veterans. The Poppy Day contributions make aid available during the other 364 days of the year to those who still are paying in steady instaments the wars bitter debt of suffering and privaton
 When we pin peoples this year there should come to us s vision of the part we are We should look upon our poppies not only flowers of memory for the dead but flowers of hope for the living.

The Italian Victory
(NeW York Times

tNeW YOrK lnneS)
 At the end of the long road that leads to the capital of Ethiopia the Italian troops have found defenSeess city in state of anarchy, its Government in flight its population rioting, its chief buildings reduced to smoldering ruins These things testify to the completeness of the military victory. In its final phase it suddenly that all resistance crumbled Discipline was thrown to the winds, an unruly people who could longer defend their capital turned to it for plunder and Addis Ababa became a shambes.
 The military victory is complete triumph of army transport geography which offered almost incredible obstacles the invader; but whether 1t means all that it now seems to mean to the Italian people, in their first flush of enthusiasm must be left to history to determine. There are voices in Rome which already demand outright annexation of this wide plateau with its place in the sun and its soil suitable for growing cotton. Mussolini himself has promised that 100000 Italian colonists will find a home in Ethiopia. But, if outright annexation is attempted Italy may find that she has paid an exorbitant price for this domain, and that the end of the payment is not yet in sight. The African campaign has already cost three-quarters of bil- lion dollars It will cost more to police the country, to stamp out guerrilla warfare and to develop natural resources to point at which they begin to yield returns. Half of the inadequate gold that Italy possessed when this adventure started has sub sequently gone abroad for the purchase of terias The strain of the military effort has forced the naturalization of Italian banks and of Italys key industries While sanctions failed to check the thrust or 1alan troops they QeprlVeQ llaly or foreign markets which once lost, may be impossible to recover Against the exploits of the Italian Army, all these things must ultimately be reckoned in the balance
 It would be premature to conclude either that Italy has victory which will mean her real enrichment, that this victory incidentally marks the downfall of the League of Nations What has been demonstrated, in the latter case, is that the League-experimenting for the first time with new international weapon, and forced to make this eXperi nf great Powers-has been unable to halt aggressive But even those who make the League the scapegoat for what has happened cannot claim that if there had been League Italys of action would have been any different her victory less de- csive Nor is there good reason to suppose that the whole system of the League must be abandoned, or to despair of ultimate realization of it's high hopes because experience has proved that in Ethiopia, as in Manchuria, the League is today stronger than the nations of the world prepared to make it.

There's a whole family-tree of suits
In the fashion picture, related as far
as the perfectly stunning woolens that

ISOLATION prize awaiting you in the pic

tropical woolens that make color glory
and novel weave their theme. Such
a costume Is pictured to the left in the
illustration. This is Bruyere ensem-
BILE of hubby gray and green mixed

favorite with smart Parisiennes.
The classic tailleur developed In
mems wear suitings is an outstand-
ing fashion, with definite preference
for the single breasted type with It's
tiattering sweep of long lapels. Both
hard and soft finished worsteds are
used In these suits, with sharkskins,
herringbone weaves, distinct checks,
cheviots, serge types, monotone and
chalk stripe fiannels and wool CAB

This appears to be delicate ground, so

she may have thought you'd prove

to the rottenest swine that ever took
a girl by the throat. But the great
probability is that she wanted to do a

for spring and early summer are toast
ed tones, blond tortoise shell, burnt
straw, natural beige, fawn, tomato red

Pastel tones in general are foreseen

them is soft shade Of pale faded
