Styles

On summer evenings when it's
too warm for a fabric wrap, there
still is need for a light covering
for bare shoulders. A wrap that
is most popular, and can be most
easily and inexpensively made, is
one of cotton cable net. Anyone
can make one for herself. It is
gathered around the back neck
with small stand-up collar, has
raglan sleeves, and is as long and
full as you like. The three-quar-
terS length is parcularly in favor,
according to cable reports from
the Paris mid-SeaSon collections.
Such wrap is probably most
practical in navy, or black, or
brown, but a white or pastel-col-
ored net wrap can be very dress
up for special evenings. They
have been dubbed taxi wraps"
and can become really indispenSa-
BILE in the summer wardrobe.
Every young woman's bag
packed for vacation this summer
will carry its supply of dainty
camisoles and rustling petticoats.
The favored ones are lace
trimmed. The camisoles are
made with shoulder points front
and back, and are edged with lace.
Many have shoulder straps made
of one row of insertion banded
on each side with lace. Others
are made of sturdy net with Val
trimming.
AS for petticoats, some are the
old-fashioned fine muslin with eye
let embroidery; others are of pas
tel taffeta, or plaid, or flowered
taffeta with rows and rows of mar
row Val lace ruffleS.
AS welcome as a brisk sea
breeze are green and white
prints, in motifs inspired by
nature. A green and white water
lily design is interpreted in a
double-skirted tunic frock with a
chic flare.
Really enchanting is an latter
five" frock in a raindrop pat
tern, worn with white organdy
bolero, organdy cap and white
kidskin sandals stitched with
green.
A modern green and white leaf
design lends character to a dress
trimmed with slathers of white
pique spaghetti fringe.

Cooperative Spirit

Delaware volunteer firemen
know no state lines when it
comes to responding to calls
for assistance in the handling
of fires. A case in point just
has occurred. A fire broke
out in a large mercantile es-
tablishment in Massey, Md.
An S o S was sent out. Fire
men from Millington, Md, and
Sudlersville, Nd, responded.
They were not enough to
handle the situation. Middle
town, DEL, was appealed to
from Earlville, Md, for assist
|ance. Members Of the Volun-
teer Hose Company of that
Delaware community respond
ed with alacrity and joined up
with their Maryland brethren.
As a result, the fire loss was
kept down to $500 and much
other property in the frame
town was "wetted down" and
protected. There are certain
hazards which wipe out, for
the time being, all geographic
al and political lines. Fire is
one of them. No Marylander!

Personal Liberty

the case Of the Securities and
Exchange Commission against
j. Edward Jones, stock pro-
moter, may mystify the lay
man, says the Morning News.
Considering that the court
did not pass on the constitu-
tionality of the act, but mere
ly ruled on whether or not the
commission had the power to
compel Jones to testify con-
cerning a 100000 stock issue
after he had withdrawn it, the
average citizen may be excus-
ed for asking what all the
shooting's for. Why this talk
of "the intolerable abuses of
the star chamber?"
1T is necessary to go back
to fundamentals in order to
understand the militant tone
of the decision. For the ques-
tion before the court was one
that involved the basic right
of every American citizen to
be immune against arbitrary
invasions of his personal lib
erty.
There is a close alliance,
the court said, among "the
three great protective rights
of the individual - tn a t
against compulsory self-accu-
sation, that against unlawful
searches and seizures, and
that against unlawful inquisi-
torial Investigations" That
is, the citizen cannot be forced
to incriminate himself, he is
to be secure in his person and
papers, and no governmental
body may conduct a fishing
expedition" into his personal
affairs in the hope Of uncov-
ering something that will
make prosecution possible.
"These rights are incorpor-
ated in the Constitution. But
they are older even than that
historic document. They go
back to the English Bill of
Rights, which grew out of the
bitter enmity and hatred with
which men learned to regard
the Court of the Star Cham
ber in England in the early
days of the Seventeenth Cen
tury. They are part of our
heritage of liberty.
Considering the funda-
mental nature of the question
before it, the court was justi-
fled in speaking out positively
and forcefully. even the
shortest step in the direction
of curtailing these rights" its
decision proclaimed, must
be halted in limine, ION the
threshold) lest it serve as a
precedent for further advance
in the same direction, or for
wrongful invasion of the
Others"
what has been gained by
the decision? Simply this

pOrtant Laboratory
Tool
VERY DELICATE SENSE

New YOrk.-Sniffing Is so useful
a practice in the laboratory that
the nose merits greater recognition
as a tool of science, DIR. E. G.
CrOcker declares in Industrial and
Engineering Chemistry, publica-
tion of the American Chemical So
ciety.
The sense of smell, far more deli
cate than the sense Of taste, detects
one One-hundred billionths of millo-
gram of a strongly odorous sub
stance such as vanillin diluted in a
sniff of air. Doctor Crocker says.
Five billionths of a millogram of
artificial musk concentrated in a
liter of air is within its range.
Keen as the nose is, it does not
approach single molecule sensitivity,
for in just perceptible sniff there
are 100000 molecules.
IF only one molecule in 1000 of
those shifted falls on the sensitive
area, some thousands are necessary
to give a smell impression even
with the most actively odorous
agent" Doctor Crocker explains In
a plea for nasal education" IAN

lionth Of a milligram, and in some
cases less than billionth of a mil
ligram, of the vapor of hundreds
Of kinds of organic substances
should inspire admiration
Compared to this refinement Of
perception, the sense of taste which
has limit of about 0.01 milligram.
Is gross, Doctor Crocker declares.
Valuable to Chemist.
1T does not take much argument
to convince an organic chemist that
his sense of smell is of great value
to his work." he continues. But
very few chemists, without a care
full appraisal of the matter, give
this lowly and despised sense even
portion of its proper credit"
Too little is known of either
smells or smelling to render them
valuable for scientific purposes, ac-
cording to Doctor Crocker, who finds
that the lack of adequate language
to describe odor accurately is ham,
pering needed research which would
make the nose more useful to both
scientists and laymen.
The public. meanwhile, is grow
ing increasingly odor-conscious, he
points out, and is demanding a per-
fection in the odors of consumer
goods comparable with the great i'm
provements that have taken place
in their physical qualities and ap-
pearance.
Whatever commercial products
cannot be made strictly odorless
must at least be made to smell
pleasant" he adds.
Important as odors are both aes-
thetically and industrially, the pres
ent description Of odors is wholly
unsatisfactory. Doctor Crocker as
serts. and nowhere nearly ap-
proaches the exactness possible
with the senses of sound and sight.
THE odor descriptions given In
chemical handbooks are pitifully in
adequate. To find the odor of a
chemical described as peculiar, nau-
seating, foul, characteristic, or
pleasant, gives but a trace of the
help reasonably expected.
Nasal Education Needed.
"Such rough comparisons as
spicy, tarry, anisic, musty or aro-
matte at least specify the class, even
though much more information is
usually desirable. especially where
an odor may have the qualities of
several such classes simultaneously,
only one of which is mentioned.

Six Bay State People Fear
They Are Marked for
Death in Plot

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, June Is.
(UP)-At least six known re-
ports by persons fearing they had
been singled out for death in a
purported wholesale insurance
murder plot last night sent state
and local investigators into a half
dozen additional western Massa-
chusetts towns.
Suspicion that so and possibly
more insured persons in this area
may have been slain by racketeers
who "mortgaged" their lives was
aroused when authorities revealed
that bodies of three men thought
accident victims contained poison
in deadly quantities."
Investigators theorized that
victims of the suspected mass
murder ring were unanswered in
to debt, forced to sign liens on
insurance policies they themselves
could not afford to carry, then
fed overdoses of "health" tonic
commonly known and used in Eu-
rope. The tonic is said to have a
slow but deadly effect when taken
in overdoses.
Over the weekend, it was
learned police received at least a
half dozen reports from individ-
uals who feared they were mark
ed for death in that manner.
These persons, it was learned
either carried no insurance OF
small policies. Recently, when
they or their members of THEN
families applied for insurance,
their applications were returned
with a statement saying they al,

were considered not safe risks. y

bureau at New Orleans. ..
Storm warnings were ordered
hoisted at $3.50 p. m. (CST) from

bureau estimated the disturbance
would probably cross to the east
coast of Florida by morning, but
somewhat weakened in intensity.
The "blow," first tropical dis
turbance charted this year by the

Key West itself experienced
but little wind although the storm
