 Honorable Mention
 The presentation last evening, in addition to the fact that all mem bers of the cast gave good accounts of themselves, particularly Edith Johnson, Jay Freeman CofYey, J. Francis Roland. Mollie Cullen. Eleanor Bronson, Isaiah Roossin and Miriam Hurlburt, was unique.
 The entire theater was given the atmosphere of a court room before the opening session: with ushers walking about dressed as policemen; the curtains drawn apart to show the bench. press tables. jury box. witness chair and the like; report CTS and attorneys milling about the stage informally awaiting the ar- rival of the judge and the defend- ant.
 The court was called to order with the arrival of the judge and the trial of Karen Andre got underway. The. jury was called to the stage from the audience and then the witt nesses, one by one, just as in a reg ular court room.
 The Jury
 There were very few dull mo- ments last evening and the audi ence, being essentially human, vigor- otsly applauded the mot guilty

 Washington, Feb. 3-Anyone who knows the new deal inside out real- izes that one of its most praiSewor- thy aims has been to keep the United States on the middle of the road of democracy, and away from the forks which lead to fascism and communism.
 Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and their satellites are still saying 1t can't be done. Events in Europe, however have intensified the determination of Roosevelt and his most thoughtful associates.
 The administration continues to he attacked from both the right and left, and lt has been called both "communls~ and fascist" by persons who usually kI;ew better, but it will bend itself more force ably. as arising circumstances re- qulre, to maintaining . liberal democracy.
 All of which is more than few pious remarks. At least couple of cabinet members are understood to lie awake nights occasionally, wor- rying about the menace of facism. Some of the most radical brain- trusters have been almost fatalis- tically Respondent in the belife that fascism iS on the way.

Fascism Chief Worry

The net effect is to convince many liberals, who heretofore have been willing to defend Russia, that something B rotten in the U.S.S.R. and that, consequently, 1t all the more behooyes them to battle for preservation of our own type of government, subject to reforms.
 There Is more worry In high places about fascism than about communism because It's generally believed that communism Is mak- ing no headway in this couiTty. because it's suspected that some powerful special interests in America lean toward fascism as an ideal. because fascism k on the aggressive throughout most of the world, because nearly every one has taken the Nazi-fascist in- vasion of Spain with cquanimity, and because of other factors.
 It may be, of course, that the various estimable officials who worry are merely seeing things under the bed"
 Even Bo, 1t seems worth reporting that there ig this great deal of genuine concern in Washington over the Americans citizens right to think, talk, write, and move around as he darn pleases.

There are many in the govern ment who favor one extreme Sys- tenn or the other and many more who believe 8 choice between the philosophy of Moscow and that of Berlin cannot for many years be cs- capped.

 Toned It Down
 The first draft of the inaugural speech was even more emphatic and specific at that point, but the presi- dent toned 1t down. If he he'd felt completely uninhibited in his lang auage, he would have boasted that this country did not yet suffer from any cuch fagcist-communist split as threatened France and England, af- tc bringing dictatorship or destruc- ton to other nations. And he would have added that he would work to zee there was no such spit.

 Attempts to figure out logical explanation have merely resulted in hundreds of headaches and, lacking authentic information, insiders here believe that tales of secret drugs or hypnotism that can make men lie about themselves, or even stories that the defendants aren't being shot, are just az likely al any other solution.

Sun rooms are neglected for
various reasons-because the
neighbors can see in, because
there is no furniture for them, but
most of all because there is moth
ing in the sun room to attract
people. It's easy to do something
about the first trouble-peeking
neighborS. Just put glass curtains
of some material such as poplin
that people can't see through. and
if that is not enough, have draw
curtains for night that are en-
tirely protective. Monks cloth or
any similar material is dresSy
enough for a sun room, and, espe-
cially if lined, will keep out both
light and prying eyes.
PLAN A COLOR SCHEME
Some people make the mistake
Of dumping all the junk from the
house into the sun room-diScarded
tables, uncomfortable chairs. worn
rugs, and so on. That's all right
if the pieces fit. Perhaps just a
coat of paint is all they need. But
it's better, generally speaking, to
have the most inexpensive fu1ni-
ture you can buy, wicker, home
painted or whatever. than to have
q set of insists. Choose gay
color scheme, one that suggests
sun even if it is summertime. with
considerable brightness in the &C
cesSories. Have a rug that har-
monizes-a nice grass rug is all
right. Put the unSightly upright
piano on the porch, and paint it
to harmonic with the color
scheme. Have the radio there,
perhaps a desk, some perfectly
comfortable chairs, card tables.
and most important Of all, plenty
Of lamps or lights placed for read
ing. Magazines should be kept
there, or they will naturally gravi'
tate there, if the place is attractive.
A MORNING ROOM
Many women, if the sun room
opens off dining room or kitchen
use it for breakfast in summer
and those precious moments when
you read the paper-it's bright
and cheerful. Nice, too, for morn
ing plans and mending, and fol
all other such homely tasks thai
just clutter up the living room

During the warm weather take

lightfully informal and friendly.
Everything can be prepared and

the usual laSt-minute dressings.
Start with a cocktail of fresh
fruit which has been chilled for
several hours. A Salad-very SIM
pie and tempting to the palate is
one using canned tomato juice,
adding / tablespoon of gelatili

around the edge various vege'
tables such as green beans, wax

Beauty
Daily Care Is
Essential
BY HELEN FOLLETT

Having a new baby in the house
interferes with a mothers beauti
flying sessions. If she has no as
sistance, she has to step lively to
get through the days activities
She will give the infant the best OF
care, and that is as things should
be. But she must not let herself
"go to seed"
Let her remember that she is
more important than her house
hold possessions. It's better to
have little dust under the beds
than dust in her hair.
She must get out-of-doors daily,
take nourishing food, and have a
rest period no matter what hap
pens. After the baby is tucked in
for the night, she is entitled to a
identifying half-hour.
Now that we have demountable
eyelashes and imitation finger
nails, maybe some genius in the
beauty trade will provide girls with
demountable noses. That would
be boon, since few women are
satisfied with the nose that nature
has given them.
Counterfeit eyelashes are worn
and SO are cover-all finger nails.
Girls like to play with beauty
tricks like that. New nails can be
had. They are installed for $3.50
in some beauty shops. They are
put on with an adhesive prepare
ton, shaped to conform with the
finger tips and then tinted. They
survive for a considerable time,
then new ones must be purchased.
When walking point toes
straight ahead. Let them point
outward and you will be in for a
host of pedal griefS. There will
be a strain on the tendonS; in
time the bony framework will be
deformed and out of killer.
Place the foot upon the ground
in such a manner that heel and
sole carry the weight of the body.
Don't cultivate a jerky walk. Your
backbone will rebel against joltS
and your shoulders will ache.
Only the graceful woman Of
slender figure is justified in wear,
ing trousers. These garments re-
veal every line from waist to
knees. They make many a girl
Unconscious so that her move
mentS are awkward. Rotund
females toddling around in male
garments are a strain on the optic
nerves. Something should be
done about it.
