Summer Mode
Calls for Pink

This summer you'll be wearing
pink, whether you've a white or
a tan skin. 1t may be in the rose
on your hat, in the silk or the
organdy of your blouse which
you'll be wearing with your
navy suit, in your pink dress
with navy dots, your net dress
or in the candy suede bag and
gloves you will be wearing with
your sheer black dress. But pink
will be in your costume picture!
And it's a particular pink this
year-soft and muted with no
yellow in it. This means your
makeup must key to your soft
pink clothes for nothing so de-
stroys the beauty of pink as an
orange lipstick and nail polish
which clash!
Charles of the Ritz has just
brought out his special make
up for these new pinkS. He
calls it Petunia because the lip
stick, rouge and nail polish have
that soft bluish cast found in
petuniaS.

Dear Friend:
Lying down a great deal
means inactivity, and this you
may be sure will help to put on
weight.
A water Softener will help to
preserve the nails. Rinse all soap
from the hands when washing,
then apply a cream or lotion.
1t may be necessary to soak
them in warm oil from time to
time. There are some good oils
and creams for nails on the
market, or you may use the fol-

course of Love, and have it

beautifully simple if that were
true. You've got to turn to some
one and something you can
really depend on yourself
and your surroundings.

Six-Minute Address Is Re- broadcast to Germans

LONDON, Sept. 27-British Pre- mier Neville Chamberlain, in world wide broadcast today, de- clared that we cannot undertake to involve the whole British Empire in war however much we sympa- thize with the small nation"
 But at another point in his broad cast to the British Empire and the world at large, the Prime Minister said:
 q am convinced that if any na- tion has made up it's mind to dominate the world by force, I would not hesitate to resist it."
 Chamberlain spoke only about six minutes and after he finished the speech was rebroadcaSt in German.
 The British Premier said he would not hesitate to take a third trip to Germany if he thought it would do any good but at this moment T can see nothing further I can use fully do in the way of mediation.

 Role m Epent Europe Goes
 Boiling Ouer, Present Crisis
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-About 30 years ago the United States hao a share in freezing Germany out of expansion in Morocco, and well in- formed opinion here is that the po- sition of this country now plays a tremendous part in Europe's calcu- lations on the German -Czechoslo- vakian affairs.
 Did England, for instance hard en her attitude toward Hitler be- fore taking precautionary sniff at the breeze blowing from Amer ica?
 Americas present part is alto- gether unofficial, in contrast with Theodore Roosevelt's participation in the Morocco affair
 It is considered certain here that the German government, as well at the British, Czechs, Rus sians and French, gives much con- sideration to the part the U. $ would play in event Europe should be plunged into war.
 Primarily these countries may simply set up a series of questions to which there can be no pat an- swers, since the official position of the country is a sort of watchful neutrality.
