Much Of costume design in the
new fall fashions is based on
draped technique that is designed
to slenderize the figure. Below in
the picture is an example of adept
draping in slate blue silk jersey
which sort of intertwines the mate
rial in manner much approved by
designers. Illustrated at the top is
an unusual draping of royal blue
acetate jersey against the black
sheer of a sheathlike frock done in
the latest bi-color manner. In every
dress collection the bi-color theme
is widely exploited. The ostrich
trimmed tricorne and the doeskin
gloves are royal blue.

unhampering and easy. The skirt
gives enough leeway to stoop and
climb and stretch. The armholes
are ample, the sleeves short and
loose. This dress is easy to do up,
too, because it fastens in the front,
and can be laid out flat on the
board. Its utter simplicity, long
lines and deep v-neck make you
look Simmer than you are. Make
it of calico, percale, linen or ging-
ham.
Three Pretty Aprons.
Any of the three of them will be
mighty handy to have all fresh
and ready, when you want to pre-
pare afternoon tea or a hasty
pickup supper for unexpected
guests. Each of them protects
the front of you efficiently, and
looks so crisp, feminine and at
tractive. Make several sets
you'll want some for yourself, and
also to put away for gifts. They're
SO pretty for bridge prizes, and
engagement remembrances. Any
woman who ever so much as
makes cup of tea will love them.

Case of the Railroad Man

1t seemed strange that the man
who lived in Washington breakfast
ed ungodly early. walked four long
blocks, took a street car across city,
then rode the tiresome train every
day to his Baltimore office. We
could all have told him how much
shorter, simpler and more sensible
for him to step into the bus in front
of his house and out at his office;
most anybody would know enough
to do it this easier. quicker way.
Then we learned that he is of the
railroad staff and it is his profess
sional responsibility to take the
train. Buses weren't his line.
Trains we're! We sat in judgment
without knowing what we were talk
ing about.
So easy to turn our imaginations
loose on any pretext or person; so
easy to see what isn't there; to
misunderstood and misinterpret; to
see the little lad fighting for an or
ange for his sick sister as "meanest
boy in the world; so easy to be
critical instead of kind; to tangle
human threads that need straight
ening, not snarling, and thus to spoil
many lovely pattern of life.
A world Of saving wisdom abides
in the old philosophy that reveals
there's so much good in the worst
of us and so much bad in the best
of us that it scarcely behooves any
Of us to say things against the rest
of u.s." Just another way of sug-
costing that it's better all around to
Judge not" 1t keeps things from
boomeranging on us!

SENATORS WANT
 NORTHERN SEAS HELD AMERICAN
Group on Hill Urges U. 5 to Proclaim Rule Over
 Continental Shelf

WASHINGTON, April 29 = The Senate Commerce Committee today recommended to Congress an as- sertion of jurisdiction by the United States over all waters on the Contin- ental Shelf, adjacent to Alaska
 The bill, with that provision, de- signed to protect the salmon fish cries of the Northwest and Alaska was introduced by Senator Cope land, of New York.
 Copeland contended that all wat CTS and submerged land of the AL askan coast, lying east of the In- ternational Boundary between the United States and Russia. had been ceded to this country by Russia at the time of Alaska's purchase.
 The bill also applies to these wat CTS said to have been ceded to the United States, and also all laws now applicable to other waters.
 Copeland said passage of this bill would prevent Japanese fishing boats from interfering with the run of salmon to Alaska and other American waters through theii stretching of long nets across the path of the spawning hordes.

Offensive Is Abandoned in Spain-End of War
 Far Out of Sight
(By Associated Press)

Weary fighting men on one side of the world, under the Rising Sun flag of Japan, and armies on the other hemisphere, under the Red Gold flag of Spanish Insurgency, seem today to lack surplus power needed for a swift victory
 In China, legions of Emperor Hi- rohito continued an indecisive strug- gle for foothold on the vital Lung hai Railway and the defenders are giving hard telling counter attacks.
 The Japanese forces in Southern Shantung Province have slowed down to a yard by yard advance to the railroad that is the backbone of Central China.
 Bespectacled Emperor Hirohito is celebrating his 37th birthday.
 Spanish Government commanders declared today that the Insurgents have abandoned the offensive that has been continuing for six weeks with more or less success.
 Neutral observers attribute the halt of the Insurgents to rainstorms that have grounded war planes and stalled motorized equipment
 The neutral obervors also declare that the end of the Spanish Civil war is still far out of sight.
