II things for yourself and your
daughter, that you'll enjoy max
ing right now, and wearing on
into the summer. Yes, even if
you've never done much sewing,

simple, easy-to-follow patterns,
each accompanied by complete
and detailed sew chart. Hundreds
of beginners are saving money,
and creating really Individual
clothes, by making their own this
season.
The Charming Basque.
Here's perfect design for slim,
youthful figures. The snug basque
top, above full, ripping skirt, is
dramatized by little puff sleeves.
Think how delightful it will look,
made up in plain or printed ma
terial, either one, but choose
something colorful, because it's
such a gay, young little dress.
Little Girls Dress, With Doll.
Yes, this pattern brings you di-
rections for making the little girls
dress, the doll, and a dress for the
doll just like her small mama's.
Just think how all that newness
will make your little daughter
dance with joy. The child's dress
is a darling, with it's full skirt,
pockets, puff sleeves and round
collar. Make it up in printed per-
Gale or bingham. Old-fashioned
rickrack braid would be pretty to
trim it.
The Classic Shirtwaist.
This is distinctly a woman's
version of the indispensable shirt
waist dress, gracious, slenderizing
and dignifed. The shoulders are
beautifully smooth and the skirt
has exactly the correctly tailored,
straight effect. It's so easy to
make, and looks so smart, that
you'll want it now in sheer wool
or lightweight flannel, and later
in tub silk or linen.

Lee, a Nottingham clergyman, hit
upon the idea of making mechine

victim of prejudice, Lee died poor

ago. In 1864, William Cotton, of
Loughborough, brought out ma

it was adopted all over the world.

For Chest Colds

Distressing cold in chest or throat,
never safe to neglect, generally eases
up when soothing, warming Mus
terole is applied.
Better than a mustard plaster,
Musterole gets action because it's
NOT just salve. It's a "counter.
irritant"- stimulating, penetrating,
and helpful in drawing out local con-
gestion and pain.
Used by millions for 80 years.
Recommended by many doctors and
nurses. All druggists. In three
strengths: Regular Strength, Chill
dren's (mild), and Extra Strong. APP

The successful entrance of German
aviation into the great cooperative COM
petition for the conquest Of the ocean

coined as intellectually as was the

their series of flights next month.
All these groups, the representatives
Of four nations whose maritime prowess
is historical, are engaged in a survey of
all possible routes between the United
States and European ports. Their work
has not the spectacular element of the
early pioneering flights, nor the dash
and color of the young Californian's
stunt in reaching Ireland safely. They
rank in modern age, with the empire
builders who laid rails across the waste
lands of the West and established homes
and built cities, rather than with the
colorful individuals of an earlier day
who stalked bison, panned gold, and
ignored the greater gold which might
have been theirs for the foresight.

Paving the Piper.

1t would be mistake to apply the old
remedy of grain of salt to the recurring
rumors that the base of the individual
income tax is to be broadened by lower
ing of personal exemptions.
Because just as surely as there are lit
tie green apples, the piper is going to de-
mand his fee some Gay soon for the
recent years of Government generosity
and there are only two ways of raising
that fee. One is by increasing the tax
load, the other is by one or more of the
several inflationary devices.
Despite frequent administration de-
parture from the tenets of sound finance,
it is considered unlikely by those best
acquainted with the Governments fiscal
advisers that any premeditated program
of imitation is to be inflicted upon the
Nation. And, onerous as they may be,
heavier taxes unquestionably would be
less damaging in the long run than the
consumptive fever of imitation.
If the choice Is to be heavier taxes.
further, 1t Is quite logical that part Of
the increase should be spread over q

Selling Business.

The decision of seven business groups
in New York City to participate in the
nationally sponsored educational pro-
gram Of "reselling America to America
focuses attention anew on a move
ment which might contribute something
Of real value to the Nation, or might be
just another barrage of propaganda in
an already confusing exchange OF
charges and countercharges.
AS the seven groups observe in their
joint statement private enterprise and
the competitive system have done much
for this country and its people, both
rich and poor. Even those who are
largely responsible for the very ten
dency OF substituting government con-
troll for privately competitive control
are quick and emphatic to cite the
merits of the system under which the
Nation has grown.
AS might have been expected from
any system operated by human beings,
there have been weaknesses, occasions
when proper values were lost sight
Of by those who dominated the eco
nomic structure. And it is on these
weaknesses that the attackers of the
business structure have concentrated
their campaign for change
Some Of these attackers have been
sincere. others have not. The propor-
ton of each probably would be sur
prislngly close to that of a similar di-
vision among the defenders.
Since the strategy now under con-
sideration is that to be used by business
men, 1t might be pointed out that their
first care should be to weed out the in
sincere ones of their own number. clean
their own house AS much as is humanity
possible of its weaknesses and It's evils.
then build their case upon arguments
that are truthful, constructive and non
political.
Certainly American business could
find in such procedure all the elements
needed for its defense. enough to per-
suade its honest critics that the essentials
Of what actually has been a produc-
tive and beneficial system should be
preserved.

REFORMATION THROUGH YOUTH
ny THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D. d. IL d, D. c. l.,
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON,

Al va look out upon the world Of today
We srs compelled to wonder as to what
source We may look for the leadership
that shall issue in the restoration of
normal conditions Will the leadership
OF the future be found In those Of mature
years whose seAsoned minds and wide
experience invest them with such sur
passing genius that they will be able to
point us TO the new land Of promise?
Again, shall we look to our legislative
assemblies our courts of law, the facul-
ties of our universities or the trained
specialists for the kind of direction that
will point us the way to better things
and better days? The oft-expressed
ideal Of a superman. or OF supermen,
who will usher in conditions more equi-
table and favorable than those the hu-
man race has experienced, has given
little demonstration either OF adequacy
or efficiency.
As we look upon our troubled world
today we find ourselves reverting to q
word OF prophecy spoken long ago: ut
shall come to pass in the last days, saith
God, I will pour out Of my Spirit upon
all flesh; and your sons and daughters
shall prophecy" A reformation through
youth is implied in this amazing state
ment. Youth possesses the imagination,
the vigor, the enthusiasm and the vision
that, rightly recognized and used, could
make 1t the agency by which a new
world might be born. Taking this an
cient word at its face value, 1t invests
youth with those prophetic gifts that
give it the capacity to see the way by
which the world shall advance to new
stages Of development and enrichment.
In other periods OF human history
there has been committed to the minds
of youth the solving OF problems too diff
cult and complex for older minds to
fathom. We may not forget. especially
at this time, that the Constitution of the
Republic was devised by men who still
retained the imagination and virility Of
those of younger years. This monu-
mental work was the product of minds
that were capable of projecting them

Insurance Practices.

The assertion of Chairman Douglas
Of the Securities and Exchange Com
mission that there has been a growing
practice Of allowing Insurance companies
to purchase entire issues of corporate
securities which are not being offered
TO the public and consequently are not
passing through the usual registration
channels of the s. E. c. focuses atten-
tion on a situation quite worthy of
inquiry by the recently created National
Economic Committee.
Admittedly, such practice might re-
suit in preferential treatment for insur-
ance companies as contrasted to other
investors. In addition, the avoidance
OF usual registration requirements Of
the s. E. c. might conceivably be accom-
panied by faults in the securities them
selves.
At the same time, the mere fact of
sucn practice being applied on occasion
is not necessarily evil nor does It imply
automatic censure or condemnation of
insurance companies which may have
invested stable segments Of their funds
through these channels.
1t has been plainly apparent in the
past few years that such large-scale
investors as insurance companies. trust
funds, ETC., have met increasing diff
ficulty in finding enough investments
OF safe but profitable nature to keep
their funds occupied. In view of the
Nations stake in insurance-that is, the
extent to which so much Of our popula-
ton Is dependent upon insurance in
vestments for protection and even liveli-
hood-this problem OF the insurance
companies is more than the mere oues-
ton OF another economic royalist"
attempting to make money with money.
In other words its personal aspect is
the degree to which 1t may affect the
life of the man or the family of very
ordinary means.
This constitutes telling reason why
any inquiry into insurance company
practices should be constructive in its
very essence rather than destroying in
effect.

selves into the future and envisioning q
state grown to vast proportions and capa-
bic Of still increasing expansion.
1t may be that, in these latter years. we
are placing less value upon the qualities
and gifts Of youth than we did in other
days. In some places there has been a
disposition of late to suppress the buoy
ant and imaginative spirit Of the younger
generation.
If in our reflection upon the urgent
needs of our modern world we can see
the place that religion occupies in the
whole scheme OF life, we shall find our
selves compelled to turn to those whose
minds are sufficiently plastic, and whose
imagination is sufficiently alert to make
the eternal truths OF religion real to us.
1t grows increasingly clear that new
reformation, through youth, is one Of the
most promising and hopeful signs of our
present confused situation. We of the
older generation have little OF spontena- =
ity and less of Imagination. We are
given to conservatism and to a DISPOSE
ton to worship the god Of things as
they have been. We look backward
rather than forward, and our terminology
is old, hackneyed and out of consonance
with the spirit of the new age.
The word Of Scripture we have quoted
concludes with the affirmation: Your
old men shall dream dreams" but this
only after the young men have seen
visions. There is logical process that
inevitably marks those salutary move
ments that have changed the trends of
human thinking and action. We may
not forget that He who gave to the world
the highest conception of life, its purpose
and ultimate objective, was young man.
Nor may we forget that it was written of
Him that. seeing young man, He loved
him." The daring, coupled with the
vision OF the Master who came from
Nazareth, has lifted Him to the supreme
place OF reverence, alteration and love.
1t may be that we are at the beginning
OF new era, and that it is to be ushered
in by those whose lives have not been
soured and embittered through disillu-
sionment and misfortune.

Mental phenor

Mental Phenomena.
A most successful man was he;
His mental gifts were great
And vet the tricks his mind would play
Were strange to contemplate.
He once gave out an interview,
Twas criticized a lot;
Next morning half the things he said
He totally forgot
Which shows the finest intellect
= May now and then be incorrect.
He ran a business that controlled
Most of the worlds affairs.
And yet, when the grand jury met
And took him unawares
The wondrous mind that in finance
Achieved the highest rank
When questioned on the witness stand
Became a total blank.
Which proves the theory, more or less
That geniuses are hard to guess.

Presidents ideas sell well to the mass of
the voting public. If the President and
the Postmaster General remain hitched
up to convention time in 1910, the oppo-
sition will face hard shedding.
In the event that the conservative
forces can be defeated with the nomi-
nation of an out-and-out New Dealer.
President Roosevelt almost surely would
step aside for the time being, confident
that the liberal groups OF the Nation
could be welded into the Democratic
party. He would like to see the La Fol-
lettes and the Farmer-Labor groups
join up.
But, If the anti-New Deal Democrats
should outmaneuver the New Dealers
and stand to gain party control, Mr..
Roosevelt with almost equal certainty
would jump into the fray as candidate
for denomination.
The conclusion is that the Presidents
personal future In politics must remain
In doubt for some time to come.

Derby VictOrs.

Every boy who participated In The
Star-American Legion Soap Box Derby
in New Hampshire avenue Yesterday
won some sort of triumph. If nothing
else was achieved, this much NAV be
said in sober fact The courage and
determination of Washington youth were
demonstrated convincingly.
Surely. each individual contestant had
hoped for perfect weather, smiling skies.
But, instead, the rain fell in torrents.
Less gallant youngsters would have
stayed away or soon have gone home.
The derby racers, however, thought of
quitting, If at all, merely as Lindbergh.
Howard Hughes and Douglas Corrigan
in the middle of the Atlantic would have
considered retreating. Adult friends,
standing along the track. marveled at
the willingness of the boys to disregard
the handicap Of hostile conditions. The
racers were wet to the skin, their handi-
work drenched; but they were not dis
mayed by their difficulties.
The outcome, then, was a greater
victory than anybody had anticipated
Even the spectators were happy to have
shared in an occasion so memorable.
The lads who received no prizes were the
gamest and bravest of all, and their
satisfaction ought to be especially keen.
Perhaps they learned a lesson which
will stand them in good advantage until
their dying moment-the truth that,
though only few can enjoy prodigious
success, every unvanquished soul can be
honorably proud of trying.

Sudeten Arbitration.

The proposal of the German govern
ment that the Sudeten question in
Czechoslovakia be submitted to arbitra-
ton by the four Western European pow
ers, of which Germany would be one,
has happily been rejected by Great
Britain and France
The hope of Germany to do by indi-
rection what it has been unable to do
by direction-namely, win for the Sudeten
Germans a national status in Czecho-
slorakia-was evident in the suggestion,
which appears to have been broached
by Hitler's aide de camp, Capt. Fritz
wiedemann. to British Foreign Secretary
Viscount Halifax on Monday and dis
cussed by British and French statesmen
during the course of the week.
The move was astute, but not quite
astute enough. for its effect, If carried
out, of raising the Sudeten Germans to
a level Of p' rity with the Czech govern
ment was apparent. Such a status of
equality between a sovereign state and
one OF it's population fractions would
have the effect of conceding to that
fraction some of the attributes of sover-
eighty This is impossible for a truly
sovereign state to do without violating
one of the primary tenets of sovereignty.
that it is indivisible.
Arbitration requires two essential ele-
~, tLot ~. ~%;a L. l.
and that there be an arbitrable issue.
Neither of these is present in the Czech
Sudeten question. The parties are not
equals, for one of them is a minority
which is subject to the dictates of the
sovereign Czech government. If Czecho-
slovakia decides to grant autonomy to
the Sudetens 1t is because the sovereign
the Czech people acting through their
duly elected representatives in Parlia-
ment-believes that is the just and fair
thing to do, or believes that it is the
expedient thing to do in the face of
external force majeure
Nor is there an arbitrable issue, for
virtually the same reason. Issues be-
tween a sovereign and subject minority
If submitted to arbitration would destroy
the sovereign nature of the state which
1t Is proposed to make one of the parties
to the adjustment.
There is more practical side to it.
II the issue could be given out to the
four western powers as arbiters-Great
Britain, France, Germany and Italy-the
scales would be heavily weighted against
the Czech government from the start,
for the deadlock which would ensue-
Britain and France against Italy and
Germany-would necessitate the calling
in OF fifth power to break the tie, and
Berlin and Rome surely would not
consent to that power being any other
than state which would be certain to
rule in favor of the Sudetens. Therefore
arbitration would be foredoomed to fall
ure unless Britain and France went into
1t prepared to yield at the last moment
or bear the stigma of defeating a settle
ment of one of Europes most dangerous
problems
The only true settlement that can
come Is one based upon fair
approach with good faith on both sides.
Czechosovakia has shown her good faith
by undertaking to give the Sudetens
autonomous status. The good faith
of Germany and the Sudetens has vet
to be proved.
