Department Of Justice as O very young man.
He was there during the reign of Burns, CASTOR
Means and other men, some of whom have been
thoroughly discredited by the country at large.
Did Hoover side in with these questionable
characters? Well, the answer is, if he had he
wouldn't be where he is today. He kept on in
his own quiet, dgnified way playing the game
straight, refusing to have anything to do with
the political situation and putting his duty and
his work above everything else in life. There
had been tremendous pressure brought to bear
on this young man just beginning his career
but he kept his hands clean and today he is
the idol, and Justly so, of not only the FBI
but Of every small boy in the country.
Splendid Upbringing
tom DEWEY, the district attorney of New
L York. had a splendid upbringing. All the
best schools and the best clubs were his. He could
easily have sat back and had pleasant peaceful
life enjoying himself, but, no indeed this young
man really realized what was going on in the
underworld of New York. He determined to sac
rifice everything he had to try and stop it, At
very small salary he pitched in and, believe
me, the crooks and the underworld lawyers soon
found that here was a man who couldn't be
touched. Neither from fear, through bribery or
through threats directed toward his lovely family
could they stop Tom Dewey.
Then, when he ran for district attorney the
fund for his campaign was pitifully small The

nation often require diversity among its people

Says Boake Carter
What Is International Law?


CHURCH leaders in England, headed by the
Archbishop of York, whipped the public
hysteria by jumping on the Chamberlain govern
ment for failure to use "the armed forces to
uphold international law!"
Said the English churchmen: There is a
clearer moral justification for the use of armed
forces in the defense of international law than
for war of the old order in defense of territorial
possessions or economic interests.

Tall hickory sentinels are confused
in coloring
Unable to wait for the paint brush

Their leaves are browning at the
edges
With mingled yellows on their
Sad prelude to the later harmony
OF the colors-
Should frost at last slash through
the drouth-
And separate the colors, red and
brown and yellow
From their accustomed green's of
spring and summer
But, that red!
Why does it so smite the senses?
Was red the first color that the un-
folding eye could see?
Have countless ages of camp fires
left their imprint?
We're the red leaves Of long ago the
warning sign
Of winter coming, of time to hunt
for cave and hollow tree
Of failing food supply, and need for
cautious storing?
That calls for long time thoughts,
and ancient fear
While this red flame is charming,
beauteous-
Like red of cannas, dahlias, roses
Peonies, and sunsets.

TINY TOTS FAVOR PRINCESS LINES

Two-to-twelve year olds feel very grown up and stylish in frocks like this with pretty Princess panels, This one from Pattern 585 will be a great success whether you make it in printed cotton for every day or in a sheer cool party fabric like dotted swiss, organdy or lawn. For parties and Sunday, trim it with lace or ruffles, add tiny bows below the neck and on the pockets. For play, use ric-rac and a few bright buttons and make the sleeves puffed instead of f1ared. Noet the three necklines provided by this pattern. You'll find the Detailed Sewing Guide great help.
 Pattern 585 is cut inchildren,s sizes 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12. Size 6, view A requires 3 5-8 yards 38 inch fabric and 3-4 yard ribbon; view B. 2 5-8 yards 36 inch fabric.

 Can't Know Values
 Up to this time our small little boy Cor girD has been keen at figures and letters. He has perform ed miracle and learned some things for himself-how to speak some of his ABC's and perhaps par rot his numbers up to ten. But the "comparison" of numbers means nothing. Most likely he won't know whether ten pennies are more val uable than five. any more than he will know that time to come is dif- ferent from time now or time past.
 I believe that many small children lose faith in their powers because others try to teach them the inn possible. Only a few bright prodi- gies may develop the mathematical or relative sense early.
 The child who discovers that other people think" he should be able to master the hopeless prob lem will be wounded in his most vulnerable spots, his pride and his mind.

wool have that certain exclusive snap which the smartly dressed love.
 If you have elected some kind of ensemble rather than separate dress as number one on your after Easter-suit list consider silk sheer il a color with which the suit access sories go nicely and separate wool jacket. If you are 8 determined shopper, you'll find one with a jack ct that can be worn with the suit skirt. And over other dresses, too.
 As a matter of fact, experts agree that separate jackets solve in handsome manner the ward robe problems of the budget minded. Two evening dresses and a couple of jackets provide an ample formal and semi-formal wardrobe for the average woman. Two or three jackets plus two perfectly plain, well-tailored street. dresses take care of the daytime situation. Remember, of course, that simple frocks, variations of the
 
 smarter than fussy ones. Let your print dress be softly draped, even be-frilled if you like, but see that the solid color numbers are quite tailored.
 A print dress teamed with 8 full-length coat that can be worn over other dresses is ideal for one who decided on spring suit instead of a coat. Those with coats lined with matching print vie for favor with the lined-in-a- plain color type.
 Accessories Should Be Simple
 Accessories that are expected to do double duty ought to be ever so simple, too. Perfectly plain gloves (not shiny ones, please), with bulky look, shoes that are a happy cross between walking shoe and flattering pump Ca one-eyelet tie, for ex- ample), hats trimmed with noth- ing more than grosgrain bands these go with dresses as well as your suit. And if they wear well, they will be fashion-right season after season.
 Once you have assembled all the items necessary to happy dressing for late spring and the summer ahead, stop shopping. Resist every temptation to get just any little number t;l@t strikes your fancy at the moment. Hit and miss buying is the cause of all the headaches you get from the knowledge that you own sev- eral things you never got your moneys worth out of. Complete your spring and summer ward robe as quickly as you can. Then lay aside all thought of shopping for this season, start saving your pennies for the fall things you'll buy in September.

Paris (P)-Two of the leading fashions for evening gowns are shown by all the leading Parisian dressmakerS. One is the gown with wide and ample skirts and the other has the straight line not narrow but simply vertical.
 These two general lines are car- ried out in many variations. The shoulder drop is marked, and often there are no straps at all, leaving the outline clear Back and front of gowns are cut low.
 The waistline Is either emphasized by elastic materials holding in the dress to model perfectly the figure or moved up or down in many subtle ways. Double or triple belts, incruStations of contrasting colors, ribbons and drapes make one be- lieve the waist is anywhere but where nature put it.

 For theater wear, flowers and veils will be more popular than tur- bans, although some turbans with feathers blend well with long sleeved tailleurs.
 Black and white dominate as colors for evening in the first dresses of the season. Mainbocher shows a gown with the corsage in night black organZa, tightly molded to the body, sharply contrasting with the wide skirt in white organ ga, Embroidery in black and white flowers joins the two parts.
