YES, indeed, fashion is in an ut
L terly feminine romancing mood
this spring. Hats gay with ribbons
and flowers and laces, suits pretti-
fed with the daintiest frilliest lin
gerie blouses worn for years,
dresses of prints so flowery and null
ti-colorful as to dazzle the eye and
that which is a sure sign of the re-
turn of romanticism in the mode
the revival of the laciest, the dain-
test, the most adorable f1uffy-ruffie
neckwear and dainty snowy lingerie
touches that even the widest flights
of ones imagination might ere de-
wise.
And now that we know that frilly,
ultra-feminine neckline and wrist
line fantasies are going to be the
very thing let's look up some of the
enhancing things which shops are
showing this season. The group pic
tured is typical of the many charm
ing, f1attering jabots, collar-and-cuff
sets and Gibbs" that smart women
are wearing to give an extra spring
like touch to their tailored silk and
their sheer wool dresses.
In the first place there's nothing
smarter than finely pleated laces
for neckwear. The good-looking col
lar and cuff set that gives so keen
a fashion touch to the simple crepe
frock worn by the young woman
standing below to the left in the
picture is of a rather heavy lace
in a dark shade of ecru. The "
shaped collar is extremely fiattering
and together with its wide cuffs
makes a picture" With this lace
three-piece you can give infinite
variety to winter-weary wardrobe
or it will enhance your newest frock
to a glamorous degree.

favors combination of the collar
in Peter Pan effect, the jabot at
the front and a tiny bow of dark
plain material to match her lovely
dress.
An entirely different type of lacy
neckwear is the "bib" or yoke effect
pictured left above. 1t is one of
those exquisitely fine and beauti-
full accessories that you can wear
with your very best gown in most
ladylike fashion. The lace is a
choice Alencon type with insets OF
hand-embroidered batiste as del
icately sheer as chiffon. The lace
is cut in square with circular
lace ruff1e at the top and another
ruff1e following the square outline OF
the bib.
Above to the right lavish embroid-
cry edged with dainty val lace adds
charm to a band collar with its
TERED ruff1es of permanent Swiss Or
candle beautifully flower-embroid-
cred. Fine as a cobweb, this inn
ported organdie is decidedly prac-
teal in spite of its fragile look.
Bows, too, are going to be worn
a lot this season. In fact snowy,
lacy lingerie accents are register
ing for tremendous vogue, be they
collars, cuffs, dainty gilets with
waistcoat belts that button around
the waist, Gibbs" jabots or any ac-
cessory item made of lace, of Swiss
organdie of washable mousseline de
sole or of any delicate sheer and
these will carry wealth of en-
broidery or hand stitchery in many
instances. The new bows now show
ing in endless variety are cunning
on tailored dresses. If they are
not of mousseline or organdie with
lace edgings then they are apt to be
entirely of heavy laces like Cluny
or Irish.

SAILOR HATS AND
TURBANS IN STYLE
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Where there's new fashions there's
always new thrills. Just about the
most exciting thrills registering on
the new seasons program are the
nifty" little sailor hats and tur-
bans that are made of bizarre plaid
or stripe crepes or taffeta silk.
These are the sort that the moment
you see them you make up your
mind in flash that your happiness
depends on acquiring just such a
chapeau. The sailors are covered
as smooth as glass with the striped
silk Cor the plaid) with perhaps a
little whirligig of ribbon for finish
or a rakish wee feather; and then as
if that is not enough to entice you,
more than likely a matching scarf
adds to the allure, or if not scarf,
one of the new romantic gypsy
sashes that ties so nonchalantly
about waistlines these days. Cast
your plainest dark crepe frock un-
der the switchery of these plaid or
striped silk accessories and it will
take on untold glory and glamor.

wanted, but Robinson said it must
be concurrent, because he would
not put Mr.. Roosevelt in the posi-
ton of having to indicate his posi-
ton on the sitdown strike by either
signing or vetoing the measure.
Besides declaring the sitdown
strike "illegal and contrary to sound
public policy" the resolution as
adopted took a double slap at the
employers by also declaring:
THAT the so-called industrial spy
system breeds fear, suspicion and
animosity, tends to cause strikes
and industrial warfare and is con-
trary to sound public policy; and
'That it is likewise contrary to
sound public policy for any en-
ployer to deny the right of collec-
tive bargaining, to foster the COM
pany union or to engage in any
other unfair labor practice as de-
fined in the national labor relations
act"

In his Worcester address Mr..
Baldwin said: "It is far better to
go when people may still think of
you as perhaps not incompetent
in your work than to stay until they
know before you do that you are be-
coming incompetent.
SIN a democratic country the
prime minister is not only the head
of a government, but he is the lead
er of a party and the leader of the
house of commons. To carry on
that tripartite task for many years
beyond the age have now reached
is, in my belief, beyond the strength
of human nature"
The prime minister's long service
to his country will be rewarded by
elevation to the peerage.

Transatlantic Air Service
Soon to Be Realized

IT TRANSATLANTIC air service
l. between the United States and
Great Britain may be expected to
start almost Immediately, for the
last obstacle in it's way was re-
moved by an agreement with Can
ada concerning routes through the
Dominion.
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
J. Monroe Johnson announced that
two routes through Canada had
been made available for trans-At-
lantic flying craft that will make a
total of four trips a week. One route
is by way of Shediac, N. B., and the
other through Montreal. The hop
off point for eastward flights over
the ocean would be from Bottwood,
N. F., which also would be landfall
on the westward flights.
johnson said that under the agree
ment British and United States
planes would make two crossings
apiece weekly.

British Navy Ordered to
Protect Merchant Ships

= REAT BRITAIN will respect
~ the blockade of the northern
Spanish port of Bilbao established
by General Franco, Fascist leader.
But her navy has been given Or
ders by the cabinet to protect to
the fullest extent all British ship
ping outside the three mile limit.
The huge battle cruiser Hood and
other warships were sent in a hurry
to the Bay of Biscay, and orders
were given to open fire on any
Spanish vessel interfering with
British cargo ships on the high seas.
The cabinet, it was said, decided to
continue to withhold the granting
of belligerent rights to Franco but
regarded the blockade of Bilbao as
a special case since Francois forces
surround the town by sea and land.
Six British ships had been waiting
at st. Jean de Luz and one at
Bayonne, unable to land food car
goes at Bilbao because of the pres
ence Of Francois warships.

cision supported the constitutional
basis of the Wagner act, finding
it legal scheme" to protect COM
merce from injury resulting from
the denial by employers of the right
of employees to organize and from
the refusal of employers to accept
the procedure of collective bargain
ing"
The broad constitutionality of the
act, was strongly noted by the chief
Justice. He declared that:
''We think it clear that the ma
tional labor relations act may be
construed so as to operate within
the spirit of constitutional author
ity."
Hughes defined the right of en-
ployees to self-organization and to
select their Representatives for col
lective bargaining as "a fundamen-
tai right"
Regarding the vital point of the
application of the interstate COM
merce clause of the Constitution,
Hughes declared:
'The congressional authority to
protect interstate commerce from
burdens and distractions is not
limited to transactions which can
be deemed to be an essential part
of a flow of interstate or foreign
commerce. Burdens or distractions
may be due to injurious action
springing from other sources"
In the case of the Associated
Press, concerning the dismissal of
Morris Watson, a New York edi-
torial employee, the court was split,
to 4. The majority opinion, read
by Justice Roberts, held that the
act does not "abridge the freedom
of speech or of the press safeguard
ed by the first amendment" to the
Constitution. The court took the view
that Watson was dismissed not be-
cause his work was unsatisfactory
but because of his activities in the
Newspaper Guild, and ordered his
reinstatement.
Dissenting conservatives, COM
prising Justices Willis Van Devan-
ter, George Sutherland, James c.
McReynolds and Pierce Butler, con-
tended that the act should not be
applied to the Associated Press be-
cause its provisions violated the
freedom of the press" clause of
the Constitution. They found that if
the act interfered with the ability of
the Associated Press to maintain a
policy of impartial news reporting,
it must fall under the freedom of
the press guaranty.
The three other cases, in each of
which the Wagner act was upheld,
involved dismissal of Is employees
by an interstate bus company; a
dispute between the Fruehauf
Trailer Company of Detroit, Mich,
and the United Automobile Workers
Union; and a dispute between the
Friedman Harry Marks Cloth
ing Company of Richmond Va, and
Amalgamated Clothing Workers. In
the bus case the decision was unani-
nous; in the others the division
was 5 to 4.

Senator Lewis Urges
New Peace Conference

&ENATOR JAMES HAMILTON
OLEWIS of Illinois told the senate
that he believes the time has come
for President Roosevelt to call an
international peace conference that
would revise the treaty of Ver-
sailles. He said the object Of the
conference would be to reach a
new disposition that might content
the nations that are now in revolt
and which continue in conflict be-
cause of the affront and injury they
feel was worked upon them under
the terms of the treaty."
The senator asserted the popular
ity of Mr.. Roosevelt abroad would
lend much to the success of such
a conference.

Farmers Must Pay More
to Raise 1887 Crops

" NdAoC 4SoS SAOPS
A CCORDING to the Department
\ of Agriculture American farm
ers will have to pay more to raise
their crops in 1887 than they did
last year. Farm labor will cost
more. Seed prices already have adj
vanced sharply, and feed prices will
be materially higher than in 1886.
The department said farm wage
rates will continue the "slow rise
of the last three years" due to an
increase in both the nonagricultural
and agricultural demand for labor.
The department forecast that
production and sales Of farm ma
chinery during 1887 probably will
exceed those of 1936-which were
the highest since 1930-and equal
the l925-29 average, especially if
crop conditions are more nearly
normal"
Fertilizer sales and prices, it was
said, probably viii average some
what higher" than In 1886.

sion through gasoline taxes, license
tags and motor vehicle fines, the COM
mission actually gets only $3,839, 900,
of which $3,265,OOO is necessarily ex-
pended on road maintenance and re-

He said that because the railroads
had not been able to match the ST.

cent gasoline tax for grade crossing
elimination that this money had been
diverted to the general fund.
Smith said the Maryland State
roads were built Is years ago and
that proper right of way wide
enough to provide for drainage, re-
moval of trees and telephone poles

provided. He said that because of the
earlier failure to realize the needs of
