legs the most beautiful in the world.
They were then insured for $1,000

Mistinguette's legs before seeing the

eight years ago that she sank Is a

There Is q good story In Mistin-

was an extremely effective worker ir

with the Mata Hari case will make
interesting reading. Also the story
OF how she got her young protege,

Hamilton Will Resign as
Republican Chairman

TOHN HAMILTON, chairman OF
- the Republican national COM
mittee, called meeting of that
body to be held in Chicago Decem-
Der II, and announced that at that
time he would submit his resigna-
ton.
Mr.. Hamilton desires that the
committee shall be able to address
itself to the plans for party come
back with a clean slate and with
new officers in command, If
change of personnel shall be
deemed more conducive to success.
The management of the late cam
paign has been criticized by some
leaders in the East, and also by a
few of the most radical OF the
western leaders; but it may well be
that the criticism represents only
minority views of the committee
and that Mr.. Hamilton's resigna-
ton will not be accepted.

complete repose, which his physi-
clans said was vitality necessary.
Father Agostino Gemelli of Milan,
a medical expert, was summoned to
Vatican City and gave out state
ment indicating that rigid meas
ures were being taken to stave off
possible uremic poisoning.
The pope's illness was discovered
when he was unable to arise for a
ceremonial concluding a week of
spiritual exercises. He was barely
able to stir the left leg and physi-
clans found that the heaviness of
limb had spread also to the right
leg.
Cardinal Pacelli, papal secretary
of state, was more optimistic than
many others. After a visit to the
sick room he said:
"The pope is improved. In about
a week the strong constitution of
the holy father will win out over
the illness. He is nearly eighty
years of age and has never been
confined to bed by illness. 1t is only
natural that he should just for
once feel indisposed."

Decorating for Christmas
Some Handsome Window and Room
" Ornaments That Are Inexpensive

NHILE windows may have
w beer decorated for Christmas
before now, the arrangements in
doors seldom are, made until the
day before the holiday. The fresh
ness of the beauty is wanted with
out any diminution. If the novelty
has worn off, some of the zest of
Christmas is lost. This is so true
that many homemakers refuse to
have windows trimmed more than
day or so prior to Christmas.
If you happen to be among this
latter group, let me suggest that
you take sprays of tree that is
misshapen and so very cheap and
make splashing bow of red crepe
paper for each and hang one in
every front window downstairs. Or
have one in each downstairs win
dow that is discernible from the
street.
Ornamenting the Spray.
You can dot the spray with holly
berries, or whatever you have in
addition to the green. Or you can
dip popped corn in red stain or
dye, and touch the kernels with
glue and secure them to the
sprays. These notes of red, with
their irregular shapes, are intrigu-
ing, sometimes being mistaken for
berries and sometimes for flow
erets.
Bank the mantelpiece over the
fireplace where the stockings are
hung, using sprays of the green
intermingled with holly, mistletoe,
pine cones, bayEerries, or silvered
or other metal painted motifs such
as acorns, fine twigs with many
flonds, etc. When everything is
fixed to your fancy Irvine string
of wee colored Christmas tree
electric lights through the green's.
These will look ornamental by day
and have a glamor when lighted
during the evening.

dotted with the novelty units lend

with the strands of paper rope and
braid, these handles will keep

their opposite sides. The handles
can be wired or glueo to the
baskets.

Treasury Financing Plans
Told bv Morgenthau

CECRETARY OF THE TREAS
- URY HENRY MORGENTHAU
announced the mid-December f.
nancing operations Of the treasury,
the main features being further
borrowing and refunding that will
put the national debt above "a bill
lion dollars, lowered interest rates
on government bonds and elimina-
ton of preferential treatment for
the small investor. The secretary
said that the December IS financing,
which includes the borrowing of 700
millions to cover continuation of
deficits incurred, would be the last
until March, when heavy income
tax collections will pour into the
treasury. Refunding raises the over
all amount of the financing to ST.
486, 631 300.
In announcing that the treasury
would not permit the small inves-
tor to have his subscription up to
Sc, 1000 met in full as in the past,
but would be forced to accept pro-
rata share just as is the big bond
buyer, Morgenthau declared that
the public had "abused" the priv
lege. The plan ''to give the little
fellow a break" was initiated by
Secretary Ogden Mills during the
Hoover regime.

4. Adoption of common neutral
ity policy.
S. Fair and equal commercial pol
icies.
6. Practical international coopera-
ton.
z. Strengthening of international
law.
8. Faithful observance of the
sanctity of treaties.
"There is no need for war;" Hull
said in his address. "There is a
practical alternative policy at hand,
complete and adequate. It is no ex-
elusive policy aimed at the safety or
supremacy of few, leaving others
to struggle with distressful situa-
tons. 1t demands no sacrifices
comparable to the advantages
which will result to each nation and
to each individual.
"Peace can be partially safe
guarded through international
agreements. Such agreements,
however, must reflect the utmost
good faith; this alone can be the
guarantee of their significance and
usefulness"
Next day Mr.. Hull offered neu-
trality pact for all American repub-
lies. His plan would create a per-
manent inter-American consultative
committee to coordinate existing
peace instruments and bring agree
ment on a common neutrality poll
cy, based on the United States
neutrality theory. ...

Midland Steel Strike
Ended by Agreement

EMPLOYEES of the Midland
IL Steel Products plant at Detroit
returned to their work, having voted
to accept a settlement of their
strike which included wage adj
justments and abolition of the piece
work system. The strike had been
seriously felt by the automobile in
dustry.
The peace terms, which union
leaders called a 100 per cent vic
tory" for employees, provide for
recognition of the union, a As hour
week, time and half pay for over
time and holidays, an increase OF
10 cents an hour on the base rate
of pay, and a 10 per cent increase
on piece work until it is eliminated,
which is to be done as rapidly as
possible.

Russia's Constitution
Given Final Approval

COVIET RUSSIA'S new constitu-
~: ton received the final approval
Of the all-union congress of soviets,
and the event was celebrated by
tremendous parade of the army and
the civil population of Moscow. One
revision Of the original draft, made
by the congress, authorizes the gov
eminent to declare war s'in case of
necessity" instead of Sin case of
an armed attack against the U. S.
S. r." This change was interpreted
as bolstering the mutual aid treaty
with France and also as a strong
reply to the anti-communist agree
ment between Germany and japan.

Williams Says WPA Rolls
Must Be Decreased

"XXTHITE collar" members of the
wv Workers Alliance of Amer
lea who called on Aubrey Williams
to insist that no workers be dropped
from the relief rolls were told by
the acting WPA administrator that
lack of funds made necessary the
dropping of about ITS, 900 by Deem
Der IS, and that $50, 900 others would
be transferred from drouth relief
to the resettlement administration.
David LASER, president of the
Workers Alliance, asserted that
widespread strikes would result
from the reduction of the rolls. !
