CZecnOSl0VaKla.
With speedy and determined
action, Jan Masaryk, the Czech
minister, successfully blocked Hen
lein's attempts to talk with high
British officials.
ENVOY VICTOR
Henlein, leader Of the Sudeten
Nazi party in Czechoslovakia. had
to content himself with a lunch
con attended by winston Churchill
and Sir Archibald Sinclair, leaders
in the conservative and anti-goV'
eminent liberal parties.
The Evening Standard declared
Henlein came to London on in
structions from Hitler, under or.
ders to impress leading British
politicians with the irrevocable
nature of the Sudeten autonomy
demands.
Masaryk, formerly attached to
the Washington legation, and son
of the late president of Czecho-
slovakia, was victor in the first
clashes Of a diplomatic duel.
Upon learning that Henlein
sought an interview with Sir Rob
ert yansittart, chief diplomatic ad-
visor to the government, Masaryk
dashed IN the foreign office and
expressed the hope that Britain
would not engage in direct discus
sions with Henlein.
RESISTANCE SEEN
The foreign office replied there
has never been any intention on
the part of the government to ap'
proach Henlein directly.
Action of the Czech minister In
London, strong as it was, seemed
to many to be an indication that
the Czechoslovakian government
of President Edouard Benes would
not bow to the Sudeten'S demands
for autonomy.
Diplomatic quarters felt the mo
ment is coming to strike, one way
or the other, and chancelleries
throughout Europe were actively
seeking safeguards against an out
break if President BeneS insists
on drawing a sword instead Of
bowling to Henlein.

Artists Busy
Finding Gifts

The Christmas rush of 1888 is
on! Radio artists scamper
hither and thither! They're
buying gifts, fitting evening
gowns and now and then giving
a stray, wishful thought to a
quickly snatched winter vaca-
ton.
Gifts include everything i'm
aginable from the self-addressed
handbag with matching vanity
case in black calf leather that
Nina Dean, N. B. C. singer, is
having copied, to the gay terry
cloth talcum-powder mitt that
Helen Walpole is sending to a
summer weekend host ess.
Joan's handbag is addressed in
red with cancelled stamp and
the recipients handwriting per-
fectly duplicated. Helen has a
good memory and the mitt will
match her hostess bath-towel
colors.
Many of the artists are buy
ing a stack of these lovely
Chinese linen embroidered kohl
kerchiefs to have on hand for
last-minute remembrances.

Keep Your Vacuum
Cleaner Handy

Your electrical vacuum cleaner
Is entirely too important as a
piece of household equipment
to be damned into a broom
closet with most of the homes
odds and ends. Such treatment
does not add to its efficiency,
especially since the cleaner
should be handy enough to be
brought out daily for its rug
and carpet chores. The coat
closet is not a satisfactory park
ing place for the cleaner, either.
It deserves a special closet or
storage space of its own, prefer
ably as close as possible to the
center Of the area where the
cleaner is given its greatest daily
use. Lacking exclusive space of
that kind, the next best thing to
do is to dedicate a front corner

Rode the Trails
Last Summer
Last summer was no exception
to the summers she has spent in
the Rockies since 1887. She rode
horseback, slept outdoors and
completed a large number of
paintings to add to the material
now ready for two new volumes
in her series North American
Wild Flowers" The five volumes
already finished, a set of which
reposeS in the Library of Con-
gress, cost thousands of dollars
to reproduce, and thousands to
buy.
Mrs. Walcott is the only
painter who sketches her
flowers in their natural habitat
directly in color. She never uses
a pencil, and learned this art
when a little girl in Philadel-
phia.
Born Mary Morris Vaux, Mrs.
Walcott is descended from the
earliest settlers Of Philadelphia

1914.

Time Grows
7 Short for
Shopping
By JOSEPHINE HUGHES

By JOSEPHINE HUGHES
OEVEN more shopping
y days till Christmas. e.
Yes, seven more hectic, hur-
ried days to take care Of those
hundred and one details that
go toward making your 1888
Christmas, and that Of your
family and friends, an unfor-
gettable occasion.
At this near date to the most
exciting morning Of the year we
feel pretty certain that you've
definitely decided on the very
important "firstS'' on your
Christmas list; the expensive
gifts that'll find their way to
your most beloved.
Buy Stockings
For Girls
But what about the many
friends whom you wish to re-
member with some little token
of thoughtfulnesS at this gift
giving time of year? These
small presents, no matter how
inexpensive, can bring a great
amount of pleasure to the re-
cipient, provided that they're
just as practical as they're
pretty. So take heed, and plan
this Christmas list carefully.
Why don't you, for instance,
go on a stocking buying spree.
and gift sock your girl friends
with several pairs Of these
fragile things? No woman ever
has enough stockings, and, II
she's the very sensible type. she
probably never treats herself
to the cobwebby SheerS that she
longingly admireS in the shops.
Sandal Hosiery
In Vogue
With the heellesS, toeleSs
dancing sandals going to every
feminine foot these gay nights,
sandal stockings are practically
a must" and therefore It's
good news to hear that certain
makers have brought out a two
thread sandal stocking that's
inyisibly toe and heel reinforced.
A gift Of these pedal extremity
beautifiers will thrill the most
sensible damSel, as well as the
most carefree butterfly.
Gloves, too, have a way Of al
ways being a welcome addition
to a feminine wardrobe. No
matter how careful a girl may
be, she is always dropping one
here and there, and what relief
to remember that there's an
other pair tucked safely away in
the wardrobe drawer.
Tinted the most wonderful
tones of pale mauve, delicate
yellow, burgundy wine, these
gloves are fashioned in dobliS
(calf with a smooth finish).
One pair is scanned straight
down the back; another OF
oyster white (much newer than
fresh white) is lined with o
contrasting pastel tone.

There isn't space to give all Of
Mr.. Durant's findings. But obi
logically we face the fact that
the class of Americans produc-
ing the largest number Of chill
dren has the least to give them
in health, character and ability"
He continued:
Our moral character, our
CUTS or self control is dimin-
iShed because these qualities
are no longer forced on us by
large families nor the old-faSh-
Toned SchoolmaSter with a cane
in his right hand and q book
in his left"
Who is to produce the large
families which will prevent US
from becoming a sissy" nation
the rich or the poor?
No SilUer Spoons
In Their Mouths
Think over this country's
great names. There were no
silver spoons at birth in the
mouths 1 Of Abraham Lincoln,
Thomas Edison. Mark Twain
and dozens more, who've helped
build this sissy" nation. Rather
inconSistently Mr.. Durant seems
to feel that the large families
as well as the old-fashioned
SchoolmaSter with the cane in
one hand and the book in the
other will prove to be our sal
walton.
But-you don't have to go
any farther for information
than today's newspaper to see
that teachers who try to save
the youth Of America by the rod
find themselves facing a police
court judge the morning after.
And the compliments are in
variably the parents Of the
youngster who has been
whipped.
We really have gone past that
stage of education. Nearly 20
years ago, Charles Dickens wrote
Nicholas Nicholby, showing the
brutahzing effects on youth Of
SchoolmaSters with a book in
the left hand and a cane in the
right" England and the United
States were thoroughly aroused
by the effect Of such tactics on
youth.

GaUe Respect
For Experience

Ever since then I have had
o great deal of respect for ex-
perience. Older practitioners
who have practiced for years in
the same community with the
same families get to know the
types. So when children are
born they aren't surprised if
some of them are stolid, some
are bright, some are stupid. You
get to know pretty we'll the ones
who will kick over the traces
when they grow up.
The family physician gets to
know the blood diseases in the
family, and we know whether
they are cured or not, so that
often we give some protection
to the second and third genera
ton from the results of these.
Naturally a doctor is like a
priest. He never thinks of tell
ing what he may know about
the individual. But sometimes
we can be of service in advising
whether a marriage should take
place or not-that is, if We are
asked.

NV Knowledge

I was young and enthusiastic,
and l didn't agree with my
father. I let him see that
didn't. Right away he suggested
that I take the case; that he
would leave the man in my
hands. thought it was a great
chance to show the older genera
ton of physicians how much
they were teaching us in the
colleges then, so 1 jumped at the
chance.
Just to make sure that I was
taking every precaution I called
in another doctor from nearby
and I stayed right with the
sick man. He seemed to be
doing fine, then his heart began
to give out and at 4 in the morn
ing he died.
OF course, I was quite crest
fallen and very unhappy about
it all. but my father just patted

doctors who have treated three
or four generations of one family

result and the course OF an III
