President Roosevelt's
Vacation Is Ended

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT ended
his 437 mile cruise when his
yacht docked at Campobello island,
New Brunswick, where he has a
summer home.
Mr.. Roosevelt remained at Camp
obello only two days and then
took a special train to Quebec.
where he visited with Lord Tweeds-
muir, governor general of Canada.
Immediately after this meeting,
Mr.. Roosevelt took train for his
summer residence in Hyde Park,
N. Y, and there began mapping
the plans for his campaign for re-
election. Half a dozen leaders of
the Democratic party, including
National Chairman James A. Far
ley, were summoned into confer
ence with their chief. The Pres
ident also obtained from Secretary
Wallace and Chester Davis a report
on drouth conditions and relief

Garden party dresses when they
are as fanciful and airy as the one
to the right in the picture make
one think of fairy-story princess,
stepping lightly across her garden.
The dress is pure white, in organza
most beautifully embroidered to
knee-depth about the hemline of
the skirt and on the sleeves. The
gown is simply cut, its graceful
lines taking on an added touch of
the exquisite in that double row
of binche lace borders the wide
skirt working up into deep point
in the front in combination. with
the embroidery. The treatment of
the puffed sleeves is fttingly
quaint.
Lovers of beautiful lace will
adore the gown shown centered in
foreground. 1t is one of the lowell
est from among most lovely
dresses brought over on the maid
en- voyage of the royal steamship
Queen Mary and shown at the dis
play of exclusive British fashion
creations recently presented here
in America. 1t adds to it's inter-
est to know that it was one of four
Reville creations approved for the
royal garden party of King Edward
VIII at Buckingham palace. The
gown is of eXquisitely fine lupin-
blue cellophane lace. The girdle is
of forget-me-nots, matching the
crown of the hat in the same col
or. 1t would seem next to i-npos-
sible to imagine anything prettier
than this fantasy of lace and fow-
ers which is done all in delicate
blues.
In the present back-to-femininit
trend, the garden party dress has
its important place, especially
when in the instances cited in this
group it is just as perfect for coun-
try club or roof dancing on sum-
mer evenings.

coast at Valencia and Alicante,
chief sources of the government
food supplies. Leaders of the
insurgents claimed they held Huel-
va, important seaport, and all the
territory between Seville and the
Portuguese border. The loyalists
directed a strong attack on Sara
gossa but advices from the front
reaching Perpignan, France, said
their three columns were ambushed
by the rebels in a narrow canyon
and lost perhaps 1000 killed. Gen
eral Caballero commanded the in
Surgents in that action.
General Franco has been quoted
as saying the revolution, when sue
cessful, will result in a military
dictatorship for the time being.
The government, now a red die
tatorship, has taken possession of
all church property and assumed
control of all industry and agricul-
ture. 1t also has confiscated the
merchant marine to form a defense
fleet. The loyalists were encour-
aged by victories in and around
San Sebastian.
Fascist Italy has been accused
of aiding the Spanish rebels, and it
is asserted a number of Italian
bombing planes were sent to them
in Morocco. The leftist French
government naturally is in sympa-
thy with the Madrid government
and Frenchmen, unarmed, have
been given permission to cross the
border to aid in putting down the
rebellion. German and Russian
sympathies, also. are ranged on
opposite sides, and all this caused
fears that a general war might re-
suit. France called on all other
nations to preserve neutrality, and
Spain warned Italy and Germany
to keep hands off.
Day by day the struggle in Spain
became bloodier and more ruth
less. Summary executions of pris-
onerS were common on both sides
and these deaths were probably
as numerous as those in battle. The
government planes showered bombs
on the rebel strongholds, virtually
destroying many towns; and the
Fascist bombers engaged in des-
perate fights with loyal warships.

lets and necklaces that look as
icy as a cool drink are being worn
at fashionable summer resorts.
Crystalline and opaque whites. are
frequently combined. Crystalline
alone adds a glamorous note to
costumes in the new smoky pas
tells, opaque white is good with
copper-brown, and with the south
sea batik prints or lowered challis.
Choker necklaces are staging a
comeback. Large frosty rings are
frequently worn to match. To set
off the rings, nails are adopting
shades of smoky red polish. Mass
i've couturier rings with multi-col-
ored stones are also smart, and re-
quire bright nail lacquer such as
robin red or coral to give the hands
the proper balance.
For moments when the urge to be
feminine has you in its grip, try
yielding to the rage for flower jew
elry. Fabric flowers, raffia flow
ers, carved flower motifs, ere used

daisies to forget-me- -nots. Some of
the necklaces tie demurely at the

Puerto Rico Nationalists
Are Found Guilty

DEDRO ALBIZU CAMPOS, leader
L of the Puerto Rico Nationalist
party, and seven of his associates
were found guilty at San Juan of
conspiracy to overthrow the United
States government in the island by
force and were sentenced by Fed
eral Judge R. A. Cooper to prison
terms ranging from two to six
years. In the first trial of these
men the jury had disagreed. The
defense attorneys gave notice of
appeal.
The case originated in clash be-

October in whi.h several persons
were slain. Following this, Col. E.

N|HILE the nations of Europe
w were worrying over the Span
ish rebellion and the danger that it
might bring about open rupture
among the Fascist and anti-Fascist
governments of the continent, steps
were taken to assure peace. Ger
many and Italy accepted the invi-

Belgium to participate in a con-
ference this fall from which it is
hoped another and better Locarno
pact will emerge.
No date for the conference has
been set, but it was expected to be
held either just before or soon after
the meeting of the league of ma
tions assembly in Geneva in Sep
tember.
Both Germany and Italy stressed
the need that it be preceded by
careful diplomatic negotiations.

sports? Decidedly so. if you would
be smartly in fashion. However, it is
an entirely different story which
the mode is telling what to wear"
at festive midsummer events that
take place midst glamorous set
tings. Comes then into the style
scene as lacy and lovely and sheer
costumes beautiful as ere graced
fashion picture.
The lavish use of nets, laces, or
ganzas, marquisettes, tulleS and
similar materials of filmy texture
and transparency quite exceeds
anything of its kind seen for many
a year. In the daytime they are
tailored and for the night hours
and for garden party wear these
enhancing sheerS are made up as
pretty-prettily as genius and imag-
ination can possibly create them.
The trio of dainty costumes in
the picture most eloquently car
ries the message of lovely ladies
clad in beguilingly feminine array
such as is gracing the midsummer
landscape with romance and the
picturesque. The first impression
one gets from this group. aside
from the beauty of the sheer ma
terialS, is that of big hats. cum
ming puff sleeves and hemlines that
are generously and gracefully
wide. Since first impressions usual
ly ring true, we learn important
facts in regard to the correct sill
houette for 1896 midsummer gar
den party and dance frocks.
The winsome dress pictured to
the left is of a very fine crossbar
net. Style points to note are the
fancifully. picketed hemline with
like-pointed ruff1ings on the volumi-
nous puffed sleeves, the flower
ruche about the throat. also the
huge -brimmed hat that is made of
the selfsame net (stiff1y starched)
as the gown. Here also we see the

others they were eliminated.
In the 100 meter finals Owens
won and Metcalfe of Chicago was

Helen Stephens of Missouri, in
winning two heats of the women's
100 meter event, broke the world
record both times.
By a vote of 36 to 81 Tokyo won
the Olympic games for 1910, Finland
being the losing bidder. The Amer
leans, South America and the Brit
ish empire were virtually solid for
Japan, which offered a transporta-
ton subsidy of about S485, 900 to off
set costs of travelling in the Far

1 think I've stumbled on a signif-

scientific work this statement:
Each living growth has to begin

tains in that first cell a fixed num-
ber of even more infnitesimal bod

I contend this natural kinship in
classification may explain why, in

us are just plain onions.

plause that continued for many
minutes. His fellow citizen were
glad to express their gratificatlon
for the honor done him, and the
thousands from outside Chlcago

citation of the candidate. In the
streets surrounding the stadium
was another vast throng Of people
who, unable to get into the build
ing, listened to the proceedings as
broadcast by a loud-speaker sys-
tenn.
Unlike Governor Landon, Colonel
Knox devoted much of his address
to the alleged failure of the Roose-
welt administration which, he said,
had the most glorious opportunity
in the history of the nation but lg-
nored it's responsibility, failed IN
its job and defaulted in its obll-
cations.
From the day that it took Of
fce," he declared, lit embarked
on a series of hysterical expert
ments on the economic life OF
burdened people. At time when
universal cooperation was a neces-
sity it initiated a campaign Of
abuse and vilifcation of business
men. At a time when the credit of
the country should have been
strengthened it inaugurated a poll
cy of credit adulteration and cur
rency experiment that demoralized
foreign trade and frightened do
mestic finance. 1t set up a system
of egimentation of industry that
reduced production and prevented
unemployment. By coercion of con-

that they hamstrung the revival Of
enterprise and paralyzed the re-

a RECOMMENDATION of agriculture that
destroyed food and reduced foreign

''At time when private industry
was struggling desperately for

enterprise to compete with private
business. At a time when the bur-
den of taxation was already hard
to bear it embarked on a policy of
squandering public funds and in
creasing the weight of taxes. At
time when united effort and mutual
good will would have completed
recovery it promoted sectional hat
red and class strife. At a time
when returning business confidence
was ending depression it began a
campaign to terrorize business and
subjugate the banks. At a time
when confidence in the character of
government was vital it estab-
ished a spoils system. At a time
when the economic system was

philosophy of scarcity and forced it
upon hungry and distressed peo-

what it means. It means federal
control over local business, over
local bank credit, over local wages,
over local conditions of work. 1t
leads to federal RECOMMENDATION of
the labor, the business, and the
home of every American citizen.
1t leads to price-fiXing and produc-
