BERLIN, Sept. 27 (I.N.s.)
A door seemingly closed to
peaceful settlement of the
sudeten problem was opened
cautiously by Reichsfuehrer
Adolf Hitler today, although
at the same time he flatly
renounced all responsibility
for future war in Europe.
A glimmering of hope was
seen in the Fuehrer's reply to
Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain's offer to guarantee
peaceful cession of the Sudeten-
land to Germany. Well-in-
formed circles believed Hitler
would accept such a guarantee
if Chamberlain can promise
publicly that the wheels are set
in motion by October l.
The Fuehrer's reply to Chamber
lain's appeal was handed to Sir
Horace Wilson of the British For
eign office, who unexpectedly re-
mained in Berlin overnight and
saw Hitler for half an hour before
flying back to London this after
noon.
NEW HOPE SEEN
Quarters usually well-informed
about Eitler's plans went so far
as to say that the reply "gives new
hope for a peaceful solution"
These circles declared that if
Chamberlain is publicly willing to
assume full guarantees that the
Sudetenland is returned without
delay, and if he takes on RESPONSE
bility for holding President Eduard
Benes to such a commitment with
in a fixed time limit, such a pro-
cedure undoubtedly would be
agreeable to the Fuehrer.
The pointed sugge stion was
voiced, however, that Chamberlain
publicly make his guarantee be-
fore the British Parliament as
Isembles in special session tomor-
row.
TIME LIMIT SET
It was restated. however, that
regardless of what methods Cham
berlain and Premier Edouard Da-
Ladder of France pursue later, Hit

Prehistoric Forest
Found Under Cement

Springfield-Drilling under sidewalk
for water a local ice cream company
was successful in striking a stream of
inexhaustible cold, pure water. In ad-
dition, pre-h historic forest, crushed and
covered over with glacial drift thous-
andS and thousands of years ago was
discovered. After drilling a well with
out success the company received per-
mission to drill under the sidewalk near
their place of business in another at
tempt to strike a water vein. The rig
was set up and drilling commenced.
Two weeks passed and nothing fur
Their happened. Finally, at a depth Of
SO feet, after the drill had passed
through four feet of fine sand re-
Sembling very much the bottom of some
age-old lake, water was struck. The
water filled the we'll to within Is feet
Of the top. To cleanse the water pump
ing was begun. This continued for a
week, pumping steadily at the rate Of
Is gallons minute. At the end of this
time, the water in the well had been
lowered but Is feet-to within % feet
of the top. During this pumping strange
things were discovered in the water.
Close examination revealed small bits
of wood some as large as finger, others
apparently ground to bits by some
tremendous pressure. Fine sand Of lake
bottom appearance also was brought up
by the pump. And all from a depth
of more than 80 feet.

KNOW DIET NEEDS.

We sometimes hear the sentiment ex-
pressed that it is not worthwhile %
talk foods and nutrition with people
living in the country, for with their
own abundant supply Of fruits, veee-
tables, meats and dairy products, they
are better fed than anyone else.
The assumption that having an
abundance of food to eat means being
well fed is now recognized as being
false reasoning. Good nouriShment
means providing the body with the food
elements it requires in the proper
quantity thus keeping the body in COO
dition to use them, and not merely
satisfying the appetite.
Results of farm diet studies recently
made in a neighboring state show that
most of the families studied did no.

The most frequent use of an electric
ironing machine is in doing flat work,
but with little practice, other articles
can be ironed on it too. Whether one
chooses the roller or presser type of
ironer, home economists advocate buy
ing from reliable dealer with a good
service guarantee. There should be
safety devices approved by the National
Board Of Fire Underwriters.
1t is important that moving parts, ex-
cept the revolving roll, be enclosed, and
that a thermoStatic control reduce
chances of overheating and scorching.
A mechanically operated safety re-
lease should be provided for separating
the roller and shoe quickly in case the
electricity is shut off suddenly as when
a fuse is blown. Some machines have
only electrically controlled releases, with
no means of releasing the roller when
the motor stops, or in case of emer-
gency, such as hands or garment being
caught.
The ironer requires heavy-duty cleo
trio cord Of an approved type and it
should be grounded" to prevent shock
at any time. The ironer, like other
larger pieces of equipment taking much
current, should be put on a separate
circuit.
The structural features of an ironer
should be exceptionally sturdy. 1t
should be rigidly anchored on a base
of the right height or one that is ad-
Unstable to different heights. Some
types of ironers are SO designed that
the operator cannot work comfortably
in a sitting position. Others have ad-
Unstable legs and can be arranged to
suit different individuals as well as to
enable the operator to sit while work.
ing.
Note particularly whether there is
any tendency for the roll and shoe
or ironing surface to sag away from
each other. This may occur in the
open-end type when the machine is
more than 26 to 80 inches long. 1t also
occurs in the 26-inch machine if the
shoe support is not designed to with
stand the effect of the vibration of the
motor.

learning how to run the equipment is

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

1t is said that in the 1905 fashion
went through its most beautiful period
and in the 1905 its ugliest period and
that in the 1905 fashion has reached
it's highest point of elasticity De-
signer Milo Anderson is the authority
for this statement. By elasticity it is
meant that more SilhouetteS are ap-
proved today than there ever have been
in the past periods. There is one to
flatter practically every feminine form.
Like the silhouette the skirt length
is varied. Paris gives us an extreme
height of II inches from the floor but
Paris also states that the shape of your
legs, your figure and your age should
be the deciding factors in selecting your
skirt length. The most generally be-
coming as well as generally accepted
length is mid-caf.
There is also variety to the waistline
It may be high, normal or loWish. The
trend is towards a lowered waiStline.
It is also chic to have your dress cut
with a double effect waistline. For eX-
ample, a narrow belt could mark the
normal waistline and the fabric be cut
or draped to mark a high waistline or
moulded over low hipline from which
could fall pleated skirt.
A new hat color, new for hats, but a
color admired for more than five CEN
turtles as a color, will be popularized
this summer. 1t is Della Robbia blue,
the famous universally admired back
ground blue of the 18th century Floren-
tine artists. Della Robbia blue is a
fresh, bright, cool blue that is very
much alive. 1t is perfect background
color.
One of the grandest things about this
seasons fashions is that they lend
themselves to last years clothes. For
example take last years suit. Discard

have to go down and dislodge the rock.
Not being a very large man, he could
easily fit into the 18-inch hole. He
seated himself on what by we'll men is
called saddle, merely a stick tied
to the end of rope. Mr.. Meierbachtel
who let him down by means of a wind
lass, called at intervals and received
responses from the man in the well
until the rope had been wound u feet.
Then he began winding in. To the sur
face came the unconscious man, perched
on his tiny saddle since there wasn't
room in the narrow hole for him to
fall off it. Because his body was
bruised humping the side of the narrow
hole in the ascent, Mr.. Berandt wasn't
able to do further work that day.
