There could be no more fitting oc-

American republics. We have learned

as an annual testimony to the signifi-

nations has for the world
Never was that significance greater
than today The 81 American re-
publics present proudly to the rest
of the world a demonstration that the
rule of justice and law can be substi-
tuted for the rule of force; that
resort to war as an instrument of
policy is not necessary; that inter-
national differences of all kinds can
be solved through peaceful negotia-
ton; that the sanctity of the pledged
word faithfully observed and generous
ly interpreted offers system of Sc
curity with freedom The three hun
dred millions Of citizens in the Ameri-
can republics are not different from
other human beings. We have the
same problems, the same differences,
even the same material for controversy
which exists elsewhere. Yet. we have
undertaken contractual obligations to
solve these normal human differences
by maintaining peace; and that peace
we are firmly resolved to maintain. 1t

friend the President Of Argentina. A

We had been privileged to have in

Heavy Responsibility.
The American peoples, who today
fortunately live as good nelghbors, not
only enjoy a privilege, but undertake
heavy responsibility. Fortunate in

If our good fortune is to continue, our
will must be strong.
All of us gained independence be-
cause our fathers were willing to sac
rifice their lives and all they pos
sessed for great ideal. Some part
of that duty to sacrifice rests also on
us. We have progressed far along
the path that leads to government by
the people in the interest of all the
people. Our Democratic system has
conferred on all of us an inestimable
gift of individual liberty within the

Soil erosion-a relatively unheard-
Of menace in Washington-has de-
veloped in Rock Greek Park due to
efforts Of Zoo officials to create addi-
tional automobile parking space for
the public.
Although the problem is concen-
trated at present in comparatively
small area, it may be difficult to deal
with, according to Agriculture De-
partment soil erosion experts.
AS result of landslide of sew
eral hundred tons of earth opposite

been half blocked, thus setting the
stage for a possible flood in the valley

The section affected is just down.

that spans the creek At the orders
of Zoo officials, truckloads of earth
were recently dumped there to lay the
foundation for a new parking space.
Trees Are FelIed.
Apparently weakened by recent
rains, the pile Of earth sheared off
and catapulted into the valley, taking
with it several sizable trees on the
hillside.
Agriculture Department authorities
say that because the trees, which
anchored the earth to the slope, have
been swept away, difficulty will now be
experienced in preventing erosion The
sWath cut down the hillside is around
30 feet in width and extends the entire
distance from the rim of the valley to

that the Civilian Conservation Corps
may be asked to set up camp there to
deal with it.
Survey Is Conducted.
Meanwhile. because of the increase
IN interest on the part of the motoring
public in the new animals that Dr.
Mann brought from the Orient last
year, the Keystone Automobile Club

The Keystone Club says that areas
suggested for the new parking network
include unused space in front of the

wearing black trunks with printed
''bra" of celanese rayon sharkskin.
A catalin fish pin on her hip answers
the call for suitable costume jewel
ry.
To the right, fashion offers new
bathing suit ensemble that striking
ly combines white with bright ocean,
blue. The bodice top is blue with
catalin fish pin by way of correct
gadgetry. The blue beach coat with
monks hood of blue lined with white
adds to eye-appeal. This very new
and attractive ensemble is of celia
nese rayon jersey.
A very interesting costume, as
shown to the left, uses blue and
white cotton print for the beach cape
lined with white terry cloth, worn
over a loose-fitting white terry cloth
suit. Accessory is white catalin vi
ennese stag horn bracelet with
carved edelweiss. This costume won
an award and is an adaptation of an
Algerian mans costume from the
Traphagen costume museum.
To supplement the list of materi-
ais smartly in use for beach dress
and bathing suit, hopsacking should
be mentioned. It is ranked along
with sharkskin for shorts and Stacks
and shirts. Then there are the fasci-
mating crinkle cottons that make
such practical and attractive beach
coats. Water, sun or sand dim not
their beauty or colorfulness.
One of the cleverest ideas is the
quilted floral cotton prints. A boz
lero of quilted print worn with
matching printed broadcloth Stacks
together with peasant kerchief of
the same print is happy sugges-
ton. Try this ensemble, it's WIN
ner this season.

WONDERS ARE BEING
DONE WITH RIBBONS
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

After you have looked about at
the new dress collections the
thought stays with you that this is
decidedly a ribbon season. Sum-
mer dresses are given a sprightly
look with pert little bows here and
there while ribbons galore, wide,
narrow in one color or in mingled
tones or tri-color gayety are swath
and sashed about the waist with
utmost artistry.
So utterly have designers yielded
to the ribbon urge they are creating
clever boleros entirely of ribbon and
recently leading Paris couturiere
fashioned an entire dress of ribbon
sewing it edge to edge for slender
effect and for wide hemline let
ting the ribbon ends fly out loose
over a silken foundation.
Lots of ribbons on hats this sea-
son, too, for bindings, bands and
tailored bows and for floating
streamers and bonnet ties are seen.

One Of the most common and
most serious errors is to omit all
bread, potatoes and cereals, in the
belief that carbohydrates are "fat-
tening foods" Carbohydrates are
required by the body in order to
utilize the fats in the diet, and
when reducing, they are also nec-
essary to burn up excess fatty
tissue.
Just as fire cannot burn without
