Watch the bag that is shaped
like an oId-faShioned STEM winder
watch, for it is growing in popu-
larity. A nice model, in navy blue
smooth calf, has red pipings and a
red and silver metal winder for
the fastening.
A touch of spring marks the new
hats. A model of navy blue straw
with a stiff brim has a cluster OF
white apple blossoms gathered
under the brim, to one side.

TIMID LOVER


Dear Miss Fairfax:
II am FL and am in love with
girl about my age. l do not
have much money, have no auto
mobile and am helping my folks
at home, and at the same time,
am trying to take up q course In
a trade school. How can get
this girl interested in me?
"BASHFUL."
I feel sure the girl you tell about
would be glad to know you better,
and that your being without a car
would make no difference to her.
The next time you see her, ask II
you may call. Or, you might tele.
phone and ask if you may come
on q certain evening. Find out her
hobbies-garden, books, movies. or
whatever it may be. This will
give you an idea of an appropriate
gift to take her. And you will
probably find your friendship will
develop naturally, if you give it
q chance.

Suddenly he stopped seeing

called him on the telephone, and
declined several invitations.
whenever 1 see him now, he's
polite but reserved. When l tell
him haven't seen him for q long
time and / wish he'd call, he
makes an excuse.
"He told a girl friend of mine
that 1 took him too seriously, and
that he cared for me only as a
friend. As / love this man dearly,
1 felt very much hurt. No one
else interests me. SORRY"
One of the most important rules
for a girl to learn is not to wear
her heart on her sleeve and let a
young man who happens to take
her fancy see how much she cares
for him.
Very likely this young man was
not in a position to marry, and he
became scared to death at the
thought of having a girl hang on
his every word.
When you meet him again, be
natural, and if you can show an
interest in someone else, real or
assumed, it would be good thing.

WEEKEND DRINKER
Dear Miss Fairfax:

when he IS SODerS L COuAUu
ask for q better man, but from
Saturday night until Monday
morning my husband is q steady
drinker. He wants me to join him
in these drinking bouts, and if /
won't he gets someone who will.
"He is terribly jealous, especially
while drinking, and If 1 dance or
talk to one of his friends he makes
q scene, although he may be dane
ing with another girl himself at
the time.
81 have tried leaving him, but
he always pleads with me to come
back, and promises a lot Of things
which he does not perform. We
haven't any children. He says he
doesn't want to be bothered with
them.
1--WE tried to get him interested
in movies and other things, but
nothing appeals but the Saturday
night drinking bout. I really love
him when he's sober. He makes q
good living, but am becoming a
thoroughly
"DISGUSTED WIFE"
The next time you leave him,
after one Of these drinking spells,
you've got to show him you are
more in earnest about a separa-
ton than he gives you credit for.
He promises, you go back. But
he doesn't keep his promise. You
may have to put him on proba-
ton for a given time, and stick
to it in spite Of his broken prom
ises.
And then sometimes, my dear, a
woman has to face the stern real
ity that once the virus of drink
gets into a mans veins, nothing
will stop him. It's all a question
of will power, and alcohol destroys
wills if they're kept in soak long
enough.
Perhaps he might agree to take
a cure. That very often helps.

POWER Development
TO AID IDLE URGED
Wider Program to Provide Jobs
Proposed by Representative
Voorhis.

Increased public power development
as an instrument of decreasing unem-
ployment was urged before the League
for Industrial Democracy yesterday
by Representative Voorhis of Cali
fornla. addressing the final session of
the public power group here
Such development, Voorhis said,
would make the Nation richer in
three ways: First. paying the cost OF
work relief for part of the unem-
ployed; second, by giving the people
as whole increased purchasing
power through cheapening Of the cost
Of one important commodity: third,
through chronological advance.
Utilization Of water resources in de-
velopment of public power was urged
by Representative Boileau of Wiscon-
sin as an important means OF flood
control, while Prof. Carl Raushenbush
of New York University. stressing the
same food-control value of power de-
velopment. accused the private utility
interests of blocking this type Of flood
prevention work
As the conference adjourned a num-
ber Of resolutions, growing out of three
days Of discussion. were adopted
among them condemnation OF the
power pooling plans advanced by the
private interests in the Tennessee VAL

republic into a new Spain, and all
that We could do would be to enforce
blockade. And that would almost
certainly mean war, possibly of in
ternational proportions.
What of Recalcitrant?
Also, under the terms of the
Buenos Aires treaty, we would i'm
mediately enter into conference with
the belligerents and other American
powers. But we would enter that con-
ference with our hands tied. Before
1t started We would remove from our
representatives anything with which
they could bargain. If all the South
American republics should agree with
us upon one course Of action, and
one should refuse to arbitrate, We
would be compelled to treat the re-
calcitrant exactly like the rest. An
emasculated State Department could
do little more to compel arbitration
than to speak noble words.
This country is not prepared to
offer collaboration in the enforcing of
peace upon the whole world. But
then let us at least keep our heads
clear, our tongues uncommitted and
our hands free for whatever emer-
gency may arise in this anarchic
world. Legislation which compels the

of it. We could, to be sure, frame an
almost sure and foOlproof neutrality
policy. If we decided that we did not
| care what happened in the rest of the
world, and were determined to re-
strict our political, military and eco
nomic interests TO this hemisphere,
we could do So But no one has even
suggested that We prepare to pay the
prodigious price involved.
The neutrality bill thinks OF us
wholly as sellers, and not as buyers,
| in world trade. But large sections Of
American industry depend upon i'm
| ported materials. The President, I'M
der the neutrality bill, is compelled,
under certain conditions. to keep our

land, and Japan manages to block

source of our rubber supply. Without

lapses. Will we stand by in such a
case?
Positive, Not Negative, Proposals.
American naval policy is certainly
not confined to the defense of the
American coast Mr. Cordell Hull's
policy is certainly not predicated by
our withdrawal from world trade, but
by precisely the opposite. And M.
Hull is consistent. To the members
Of the Council on Foreign Relations
he said Thursday night that 1t is
not beyond the power of statesmen
today to check and reverse the drift
toward world anarchy" and he sug-
gested the principles laid down at
the Buenos Aires conference as q
basis for ending this anarchy. That
means the loyal acceptance by ma
tions of the rule Of law, guarantees
for the integrity of each and imple-
menting remuneration of war by
methods Of instantaneous cooperative
action" These are positive and not
negative proposals.
AS far as the Americans are con-
cerned. this country has already en-
tered upon a scheme for collective
consultation and collective action in
case a war threatens or breaks out
on this hemisphere. But the pro-
posed neutrality bills may possibly
wreck even the results of the Buenos
Airs Conference and even any scheme
for collaborative action between the
Americas. For, although both the
House and Senate bills exempt the
American republics from the arms
and other embargoes in case of war
between them and a non American
power, they make an arms embargo
mandatory in case of war between two
American republics.
Should, for instance, war break
out between Argentina and Brazil,
We would be forced to stop war sup

ent. England, Germany, France or

not empower Congress or the PreSi-
dent to fix the size of the Supreme
Court The right to change the size
of the Supreme Court was assumed
by Congress in 1889 and has never
been challenged. This is largely due
to the fact that the changes in the
size of the Supreme Court have never
before been directly related to the
character or quality of the decisions
While the Roosevelt administration,
fortnight ago, gave congestion OF court
business as the reason for the desired
increase to Is justices. this has now
been brushed aside as the primary
purpose and there is no longer any
hesitancy here to acknowledge that
the reason for changing the size of

On this point. the United States
News telegraphed to the chief justices

obtain a symposium of views on the
question of whether Congress or the
people through the Constitution should
fix the size of the Supreme Court Of
the United States.
From Chief Justice Charles A. GoSs,

answer:
"Inasmuch as the Federal ConSti-
tuition does not fix the number of
justices of the Supreme Court of the
United States. and does not specific
