 melodies to his credit. He sis the author of Yale's famous "sons of Ell," Leland StanfOrd's "S0ns of the Stanford Red," and Michigan's Fight, Men of Michigan"
 DiscOncerting
 State Senator Hugo Farmer, of Arizona, caused much er1lbarrass. If1ent at National Headquarters the day before the convention opened, by inquiring innocently for 6 "copy of the platform SO I can study lt." He was hastily told that despite press reports that the platform was being writ- ten in Washington, 1t would be drafted by THE COMMITTEE OF WHICH HE WAS 4 MEMBER. .. The Democratic Convention went in for variety in badges. There were over fifty different kinds, one that permitted en- trance only to the corridors and another only to the basement of the convention nall.

 Said Baron Warn, veteran poli- tical reporter of The New York Times, after 6 tumultuous dem- onstratio1 in tribute to Roosevelt: "The convention ought to keep out of politics" Simon Luce, delegate from Pennington, Me-, was deeply disappointed by Phila- delphia. Having never been further from home than Boston, he thought Philadelphia was in the deep South and expected to hear local residents talk with Q drawl.

Gum. Chewing Ringe

J. Austin Latimer of Williston, S. O., who as deputy sergeant-at-- arms was in charge of policing the speakers platform, made careful preparations to keep out gate- crashers. He memorized the faces and names of every member of the National Committee To fortify himself for the strain and excitement of the convention, Jim Farley upped his daily ration of chewing gum from one to two packages. Jim says he got only about four hours sleep @ night during the past week The original draft of Senator Alben Barkley's keynote speech ran one hour and forty minutes After much urging, the Kentuckian was persuaded to pare 1t down to . little over one hour.
 "One-eye" Connolly was giv-
 en g ticket for the convention,
 but that did not change the
 noted gate-crasher's attitude toward ticket collectors. "Ticket
 collectors are . menace" he said. \ think it is high time the

Visioning the possibilities in this
attractive handiwork, current style
creators have put experts in vo-
guish costume design at the service
of native workers and thus is added
to hand quilted garments now
showing in the shops.
The new sport coats and evening
jackets now featuring in the fash
ion picture are made mostly of
hand-blocked linens, cottons, smart
satins, sheer woolens and dainty
challis. There are flowery prints,
geometrical designs, checks an d
plaids as well as plain colors in
fiattering combinations.
The stunning swagger coat in the
picture is made of hand blocked
challis in brilliant plaid. 1t is lined
with plain linen. Just the thing for
campus wear or to stroll about
town on an early coolish autumn
day.
The good-looking model to the
right at the top makes an ideal
knockabout country club coat. The
original was done in brown lines.
The pronounced vogue for satin
this fall bespeaks the appeal of a
hand-quilted coat thereof fashioned
in like manner.
The sports cardigan "set" shown
in foreground is of bright monotone
fabric lined with gay print, the
complementary waistcoat being of
match-color pique with silver coin
buttons to add to its lure. The eve
ming jacket Tin paneD is in Trap
unto design on silk-finished linen
with contrasting lining. This model
comes in exquisite Chinese color
ings. A perfect accessory to COM
plete an autumn campus frock is
shown to left above. This round
about jacket is reversible and has
contrasting lacing.

frances Diplomatic Game.
WHILE France was asking us to

as regards Spain, it would appear
she even then was extending very
material "sympathies' to the 10y
alist side. Anyhow, Italy thinks so,
and Germany, too. And now Portu-
gal sprouts unrest and Great Brit
ain issues threats.
Since we already were neutral
and, if we have any sense, will keep
on being as neutral as stop-and-
go signal-America didn't need to
enter any pacts. And if we continue
minding our own business we'll
have neither a sick headache nor a
fresh batch of uncollectible foreign
loans when the present mess is
over.
The point is that France SEEM

double diplomatic game.

Up TO comparatively short
~ time ago handwriting was re-
garded as form of needlework to
be utilized and reserved for luxuri-
GUS intimate apparel, robes, bed
jackets, negligees and such. The
thought no longer holds good. The
emergence of hand-quilting from
boudoir environs becomes high
style event-the dawn of new era
for this exquisite needle work.
That faithful perennial back-to-
college clothes problem is with us
again. BY way of new and in
teresting approach to the subject
suppose we talk about the perfect

cunning and chic hand-quilted gar

robe. Wear 'em on the campus and
to parties and proms and you will
excite the admiration and envy of
the whole college. If you think
this is an exaggerated way of put
ting it, please take one long look
at the hand-quilted fashions here
pictured. The argument is closed,
n'est-ce pas?
Hand quilting really dates back
to early history, some of the oldest
pieces originating in China and

LOOKING AHEAD TO
COATS FOR WINTER

Those who prefer to ignore the
heat by focusing their thoughts on
the winter and fur coats will find
sufficient different styles in the
shops to keep them guessing for
hours as to which is the most i'm
portant. If they're wise they'll
choose the most becoming silhou-
cite and forget about the others.
Outstanding in fur fashions is
the fiared silhouette, the width of
hemline contrasted with the slen-
derness of the waistline. A coat Of
this type is obviously dressy, so the
busy woman may prefer to pass i.
by in favor of straightline stop

able from morning until night.

loose fish that cost Uncle Sam

have lots of fun seining for them.
It would be one case of combining
business and pleasure. If they
could clear out the river from

would be bass and rainbow and
