Beauty Brevities

~ and beauty
Glenda Farrell, for example, chooses
a mantilla of rare black lace, with fine bor-
der of white tulle edged in lace, which she
likes to wear for evening occasions. 1t is an ef-
fective contrast to her attractive blonde hair.
As an added accent to her evening en-
semble Olivia De Havilland dons an enor-
nous hair bow at the nape of her neck The
wide ribbon varies in color, matching the slip
pers or harmonizing with the gown. Tiny
feathers of contrasting shade are drawn
through the bow-knot
A convenient yet decorative accent to eve
ming festivities is metal cloth-of-gold bag
which Patricia Ellis carries. 1t suggests the
saddle-bag idea. In one side she has all her
necessary cosmetics and in the other, her
cigarette case, lighter, and cigarette holder.

to all Europeans today as the Italian
army OF occupation cleaned up the
desolated former imperial capital Of

The youngsters were encouraged to
do so by priests of both the Mussul-

who promised to aid Italian authori-
ties in bringing peace.
As order began to prevail after the
riotng and looting which followed
Emperor Halle Selassie's flight last

found evidence that the pillaging Of
the capital was carried out system
attcally.
Natives reported the looters moved
from store to store and from house to
house under the command Of Ethi-
opian officers, raiding establishments,
soaking them with fuel and firing
them.
The imperial library, ministerial
quarters and other buildings adjoin-
ing the imperial palace were burned

Minister escaped with his life. but his

LONDON, May ga gathering
storm Of British anti-sanctions senti-

circles today that Prime Minister
Stanley Baldwin might soon face a
cabinet crisis.
Signs that many members Of the
Conservative government party were
swinging in favor Of the American
policy of non-intervention in conti-
mental European affairs were noted in
political quarters.
Opposition Labor sources suggested
Ramsay MacDonald's influence was
doing much to build up an anti
sanctionist group within the cabinet
itself.
An excited meeting of 100 members
of the Conservative party's Foreign
Affairs Committee last night was
believed to have demonstrated sharp
cleavage of opinion on this subject
also among the rank and file Of the
organization.
If Anthony Eden still favored sane
tions against Italy, as was believed
generally, political sources said, Prime
Minister Baldwin might come under
strong pressure from his own sup
porters, demanding the resignation of

He described the establishment Of

forward-looking steps in the history
Of the industry"

shorter work day and shorter work
week will be universal throughout the
coalfelds Of the United States. Muir

The same applies to the checkon
system under which union dues and

checks by the companies and turned
over to the union.
The contract became effective last
night when it was initiated by the II
members Of the joint wage confer
ence which reached an agreement
after IL weeks deliberation. It must
be acted upon by a tri-district con-
vention Of the United Mine Workers
which probably will be called within
two weeks, either in Washington or
Hazelton, Pa. Murray said ratifica-
ton never has been withheld. Time
and place was left to the international
officers.
As outlined by officials, the union
gains included:
A seven-hour day. five-day week in

Recognition of the principle of
equalization Of work to provide work
for q substantial number" Of un-
employed. They estimated 10000
