8 900 Moors. foreign 1egionnaires and
regular and volunteer Fascists streamed
into Toledo from the northwest.
The rescued Alcazar was sorry

blasted away. All four corner towers
were blown off.

In q proclamation, described as the
most important official declaration
since the war began. the government
made no attempt to minimize the
danger Madrid faced from the advanc-
ing Fascist columns. The war ministry
admitted insurgents were pressing
strongly ahead from Torrijos" so as
to cut communication between the

vised defenses and Socialist slugs tore
holes in the onrushing ranks.
Through heavy fusillades, the in
surgent forces pushed. Half an hour
after the first forward" command was
given, Gen. frances units had pierced
to the center of the ancient Moorish
capital.
Alcaxar Defenders Freed.
Suddenly, from the eastern section
a shout went up. Ragged, emaciated
Fascists-besieged, battered and gaunt
emerged from the ruins Of the
Alcazar where they had withstood
dynamite, gasoline and shell lombard
ments for weeks.
The Alcazar-1 -year-old fortress
spilled forth its insurgent detach-
ments who joined the battle with
trembling shouts of Viva Espana!"
Delirious with enthusiasm over re-
lease from their self-made prison to
which they fled after government
forces dominated sternly the rebellion
in Toledo, they charged the defending
lines.
Between the whitening blasts from
before and behind, the last Socialist
lines scattered and fled. The siege Of
Toledo, immediate objective in the
southern Fascist army's march on the
capital, was consummated.
Rushing fearfully, the government
forces retired southwark over Taeus
River bridges and into the country
beyond. The advance of Francos
columns from the north cut q pos-
sible retreat to the capital.
Set Lines for Ciudad Real.
Instead, they set their lines for
Ciudad Real, provincial capital, &C

The new governors Of the erstwhile
capital of Spain's famous royal cou-
pie, Ferdinand and Isabella, began

positions as they awaited arrival OF
their main forces and general staff.
They found the city mostly intact
despite aerial and artillery lombard

siege.
The Alcazar, training school fol
officers of the regular army, during
repeated Socialist attacks, had beer
shattered-towers razed and the
northern wall left shell of jagged
segments.

The capital was quiet this morning,
but detailed news from Toledo was
withheld from the people. The gov
ernment communique said only that
Toledo defenders were compelled to
retreat to the outskirts Of the city,
but were continuing to lombard the
Fascists from the gates OF the
ancient city.
The retreat, the government said.
was forced by Fascist advances from
Torrijos and Maqueda.
Madrid radios hummed regularly
with the call for militiamen. Prac-
tically every man, especially those IN
the suburbs, were summoned from
breakfast tables by militiamen shout
ing: Comrades to the 'front.'"
Rights Are Suspended.
The government announcement that
rights of all public functionaries Of
ministries and official departments had
been suspended was not elaborated
upon.

In Love
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX

Famous Authority on Problems
OF Love and Marriaoe)
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"At a dance, a certain very
handsome girl was pointed out
to me by a man who said she
was fast. dated this girl and
kept on dating her, but beyond
taking an occasional drink and
smoking a couple of cigarettes,
she was decidedly not fast.
"She could take care of herself
with the best, and 1 found myself
falling deeper and deeper in love.
We exchanged engagement gifts,
and are considered plighted.
But 1 have my doubts as to
our happiness. She makes twice
my salary, is much better posted
on politics and current events, as
I'm not much of q newspaper
reader, and never smoke or
drink, thinking both are bad for
the health.
81 told her 1 thought she would
be happier with a smarter type
of man. She answered she liked
my type. Still Pm not altogether
happy in this engagement. Can
a man condemn a lady for SmOk-
ing and taking an occasional
drink? PUZZLED"
If condemnation proceedings
could be started because ladies
smoke and take an occasional
drink, the whole country would
be in state of reproach and cen
sure. Bad as it may seem to sur
viving Victorians, very nice girls
do smoke, and sometimes indulge
in a "heartener."
You were attracted to this girl
in the first place because you
thought she was fast. She proved
to be only up-to-date and you fell
for her. The situation makes me
think of the man who didn't let
go of the balloon rope in time
and found himself sailing in an
unfamiliar atmosphere.
Both of you have blundered into
this affair under a mistake. You
thought she was fast; she regards
you as an idealiSt. I don't see
much happiness in it for either
of you.
This will also answer another
correspondent. who writes along
the same line.

Notes on Blue

4NSgVS VA AS4NV
DLUE is one of the most
- universally worn colors,
but it is full of pitfalls in its
range of shades, says Elaine
Neal in September Good
Housekeeping. Hard electric
blues are seldom becoming to
anyone, but pure sapphire is
one of the best evening
colors. Turquoise and pea
cock blue are difficult, as they
bring out all the yellow in the
skin. Navy is an extremely
smart spring color, but not
particularly smart in winter
and not becoming to Sallow
skins or brown eyes. The
most generally becoming blues
are all soft as though seen
through a mist, blues without
green in them. Blue is an
adaptable color, dignified and
royal, youthful and sweet,
sometimes almost neutral and
chic. Get to know it and pay
a little extra attention to the
off shades which are so i'm
pOrtant.

THEY'RE IN LOVE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

"I'll admit I'H1 only Is, but I'm
just as much in love as If / were
10 or 20 years older. The girl 1
love and 1 were classmates, and
now that we've both graduated, l
can't see her, because she lives
at least 40 miles from where 1
do, and my father won't let me
have the family car.
81 have taken a very lOwly posi-
tion for the summer, so can get
enough carfare to go and see her.
This the family does not like, but
1 intend to show them Pm in
earnest. My older brother, who
is very sarcastic, suggested 1 get
a kiddie car to call on my girl,
which think was a deSpicable
suggestion. LAWRENCE"
In the family circle, everything
which promises little humor
seems to be regarded as fair game.
Don't take your brothers joke
about the kiddie car too seriously.
And you have certainly shown
your family you have plenty of
grit by taking the loWly position
to earn enough for carfare to call
on your girl.
Let me remind you that, as the
poet says: There's nothing half
so sweet in life as loves young
dream"

How to Cure
NaI-Bitn6
BY DONNA GRACE

You may be surprised to hear
that receive from one to three
or four letters a week from girls
asking for some cure for nail bit,
ing. Yes, indeed, they bite their
nails and seem to think that they
cannot stop it without help.
The habit is formed by an ex.
preston of extreme nervousness,
but it can be overcome if one will
just try hard enough. The trou.
blesome hang nail or cuticle is
often the cause of nail biting.
The simple and sane way to
correct this habit is, Of course, to
make up your mind that you must
have nice nails and that nothing
is going to prevent you from hav.
ing them.
The cure lies in keeping your
nails beautifully manicured, even
if you drop into the manicurist
every day to have them Smoothed
and polished. It may be advisa.
BILE for you to depend on buffing
nail paste and powder to keep
them nice for week at a time.
Then on the following week use
a liquid polish, but go in once OF
twice during the week and have
that changed to a different shade
and it will be impossible for you
to keep from becoming nail con
Scious."
You may paint the nails with
bitter aloes to remind you to keep
off, but little training and will.
power will be better.
Brittle nails should be rubbed
several times a week with a good
nail cream. Vaseline will do, il
you do not have a special salve fol
them.

so, this weekend, When you nave
cut the watermelon, do save the
rind for this purpose. 1t takes
time to make preserves, but such a
delicious dainty is worth special
preparation.
If you are making them for the
first time, I would suggest that you
use more than one recipe. Make
and date them when you store the
jars. Next season you will be in
position to concentrate on your
favorite recipe.
There are two distinct types Of
preserves. One is sweet and
golden, the other is spicy and tart.
If members of your family prefer
sweets, they will probably find the
first type most pleasing. Recipes
for both kinds follow.
In preparing the rind, both the
red and green portion should be re-
moved. Then the rind can be cut
in any desired shape. The rind
should soak overnight either in a
solution of salt water or in alum
to become crisp.
Sweet Watermelon Preserves
Peel and cut the slices of rind
into cubes one inch by two inches.
Cover with a solution of salt water
Zone tablespoon of salt to each
quart of water). Let stand over
night. In the morning drain the
melon cubes, rinse with cold water,
drain. Cover with water and let
boil for about Is minutes or until
the rind is somewhat tender.
Cook only until clear. If it is
overlooked, the preserves lose their
crispneSS and do not hold their
shape. Drain off this water and
use part of it for making the
syrup. Be sure that the melon is
well drained or the syrup will be
diluted.
Syrup
l pound of sugar
2 tablespoons of preserved ginger,
sliced thin
y lemon sliced very thin
2 pints of water (using the water
in which the rind was boiled)
Combine the sugar, water and
spices and boil to make the syrup.
If desired one stick of cinnamon
and one tablespoon of ginger can
be used in place of the preserved
ginger
Lift the melon cubes into the
boiling syrup and boil for three
minutes. Place in hot jars and
seal Immediately.
This recipe is for a sweetened
Spiced pickle.
Spiced Watermelon Pickles
3 pounds of watermelon rind
