JOYCE EVELYN ROSSELL

Canonsourg, PA brain tumor
that for nearly six months had been
slowly taking the life Of an 11-year-
old girl Thursday afternoon finally
claimed its victim, Joyce Evelyn Ros-
sell, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Roy l.
Rossell, 173 Oak Spring road.
Doomed by physicians some time
age, the little girl spent the last days
of her life at home when her parents
learned that deep X-ray therapy treat
ments, which for a time had brought
relief, could only delay, not cure the
growth of the tumor.
The Rossell child had enjoyed nor
NAL health until last October. When
she became i'll specialists in Pitts
burgh and Cleveland were consulted
but to no avail.
In addition to her parents, she is
survived by brother, David Roy,
aged ID.
Funeral services were held Satur-
day afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the
Rossell home in charge of the Rev. +.
J. keifer Burial was made in the Oak
Spring cemetery.

On Capitol Hill
By GEORGE l.. KNAPP

Washington, y. C. GLNS).-Every
newspaper man in Washington has
noticed the speed up since Frank
Murphy became Attorney General. In
stead Of laying case for impeach-
ment Of Judge Manton before Con
grcss, Murphy fent to New York, and
brought back Manton's resignation
with him. The indictment Of "Boss"
Pendergast holding back on his income
tax is another sample.
But now the story is going abroad
that the evidence against Judge Man
ton and Judge Thomas had been in
the files Of the Department Of Justice
for nine months before Murphy took
office. Another account says that the
evidence against Pendergast is old,
and that nothing was done about it
until Murphy came in. In fact, the
story is out that not less than 7 Fed
eral judges are candidates for request
ed resignation in very few weeks.
The Department Of Justice lost a
lot in the untimely death Of Thomas
j. Walsh; but it seems to be making
things up through Frank Murphy.

The Daughters Of the American rev
olution have a problem to solve: to
shut out or not to shut out Negro
musicians from the d. A. K. hall in
Washington.
1t might help them to recall that
they are Daughters Of the Revolution,
not of the Constitutional Convention
or the Hartford convention. In the
first draft of the Declaration Of In
dependence, which gave form to the
Revolution, Thomas Jefferson put in
vigorous denunciation of the slave
trade.
"He (King George Third has waged
cruel war against human nature it
self, violating it's most sacred rights of
life and liberty in the persons of dis
tant peoples who never offended him,
captivating and carrying them to
slavery in another hemisphere, or to
incur miserable death on their trans
portation thither. . Gle isl determ-
ined to keep market where men
should be bought and sold"
These words were written 163 years
ago. They were left out on account
of the objections of South Carolina
and Georgia. But it really doesn't
seem very dignified, after all these
years, to make the mistake made in
the case Of Marion Anderson perma-
nent.
"In separate opinion in which Jus
tice Black concurred, Justice Frank
| furter chided the court for relying on
valuation theories promulgated in a
1898 decision"
So runs the news ticker account of
an important case, and 10 laymen out
of 20 who pay attention to court mat
ters at all agree with Frankfurter and
Black. The 1898 case was the decision
in Smyth v. Ames; in which the court
laid down "principles" of fixing the
value of public utilities that have rob-
bed consumers for goodly share of
40 years.
Justice Brandeis fought that valua-
tion scheme to the limit as long as he
was on the bench. 1t is almost discard
ed now. 1t ought to be discarded utter
ly. AS sample of the way it worked,
the Supreme Court in Smyth V. Ames
said that the state of Nebraska was
confiscating the property of the Bur-
lington Railroad - which jim Hill
bought little later at $2C0 for $lOO
| share.
Justices Frankfurter and Black, like
Justice Brandeis, kick out a hoary
| fake instead of merely ignoring it.

PARADISE, CHIPPEWA
DEMOCRACY IS IN THE HEART

(From the New York Times)
A few days ago the Eastern con-
ference of the German American
League for Culture, meeting in New
a-k, openly proclaimed its devotion
to the American democratic system
and its opposition to the race hate
preached by the German-American
Bund and allied groups" On the fol-
lowing day spokesmen for 1000 men,
bers of the same organization i'll De-
troit sent President Roosevelt a letter
approving his condemnation of the
dictator nations" and recognizing "the
dangers that nazism and fascism con-
stitute to the civilized world today"
We hope and believe that the great
majority of German-American citizens,
like the great majority of all our cti-
zens, will feverently support these po-
sitions. We hope and believe, too, that
Americans of other than German des-
cent will give these fellow-citizens
their encouragement and sympathy.
Americanism is not in the blood-it is
in the heart and mind.

Always Demand the Union Label.

Outfits Worn
For Archery
Are Simple
Instructor FaVOrs
Functional Yet
Smart Attire

Just as simplicity is the keynote
of smartness in everyday fashions,
SO it becomes the basis of correct
sports attire. Especially is this evi-
dent in the now popular pastime,
archery, a game of skill which is
fast becoming more and more fay
ored. Miss Elizabeth Burtner, direc-
tor OF Women's athletics at George
Washington University is very con-
scious of the Importance of correct
clothing for this sport, and firm in
her ideas about it.
Costumes for archery should be
functional and yet have style and
smartness," she explained. NO
gadgets or fancy dresses should be
worn" When G.. w. co-eds 20 out
for their archery practice, the gen.
eral costume consists of a simple
sport dress with plenty of shoulder
room. Some of the girls rush off
from this sport to teas or other
afternoon entertainment and make
the mistake Of wearing clothes that
are suitable only for dancing. This
Is unnecessary. Miss Burtner said,
FOR in this day and age there are
plenty OF smart sport costumes that
would do for both occasions" Such
ornaments as fraternity pins or but
toned flap pockets must not be worn
Tor they are apt to catch in the bow.

Poor Fish
Bites on
Fashion
Styles Even Steal
Inspiration From
Sportsmen's Kit

Where do all your fashion ideas
! come from? some one has asked.
You'd be surprised to know all the
sources of fashion material, starting
with nature itself. Little does the
fisherman with his rod and bait
think that he is carrying the germ
of a fashion idea in his kit. But
that is exactly what has happened
in one case. You've seen the gayly
colored insects that are worn on
women's coat lapels, and on their
hats, too, if you take your fashion
advice seriously One store shows
humble bees pecking at flowers on
hats, especially dotting the fisnnet
wells. You see the connection? The
idea really came from fishing, when
two girls who worked for trout fly
company pinned the cOlorful flies
TO their dresses.
Women began to admire the trout
flies, and first thing you know these
girls began business making flies,
bees and other wild things for cos
tune wear. Butterflies are made
from feathers of imported birds;
humble bees also have real lac
quered wings and bodies made OF
black and white chenille. Now in
some of our smartest luncheon spots
you see women wearing lapel insects
and sometimes the original. as we
saw on one of New York's socialites
recently-a salmon fly.
Many fashion items may be traced
to unexpected sources. There are,
for instance, those comfortable
looking coolies or beach shoes made
of duck. which a shoe designer got
from the sandals worn by the coolies
in Lost Horizon Motion pictures,
of course. furnish many such ideas
for fashion. In "Wuthering Heights
hats with ribbon streamers attest to
the prettineSS of this fashion. and in
Dodge City" Alan Hale's buttonhole
SunfloWer has started trend for
wearing the Kansas sunfiower on
suits and coats.
Right now we are probably more
conscious than ever of California
because of the San Francisco Fair.
Stores in the East are full of those
quaint Dutch cottons in beach and
summer dresses, many of which are
made in California. Crinkled mus
Inns in faded California colors are
shown in slacks, shirts and shorts.
with colored girdles-usually three
colors in an ensemble.

It's always a comforting thought
to know that the weather man can
predict the worst and not stop the
sport enthusiasts. At least that par
ticular phase of sport known as
skeet shooting ignores such unim-
portant things as weather.
So says Mrs. William c. Coe, win
ner of the Delaware Open Women's s
Championship and an enthusiastic
follower of this pastime. Il suppose
they'd cancel match in case OF
a hurricane" laughs Mrs. Coe, but
we shoot in rain or bitter cold" OF
course, the proper clothes play a
big part in the matter In fact, they
are important in any temperature
for skeet shooting is year. round
pastime.
Usually the proper attire consists
of special gabardine jacket with
back pleats to afford freedom
through the shoulders. Heavy pad
ding may be put inside or out on
the right shoulder as protection
against the gun. This coat IS Worn
with contrasting tailored skirt
and has special reinforced pockets
to hold shells. Beneath this is worn
a sweater or suede vest, and in bit
ter cold weather the participants
wear (shhh } long undies.
Protection from other things be-
side cold Is to be considered, too.
To ward off the suns rays the skeet
shooters wear visors or sport hats
and dark glasses. The latter, in
cidentally, also prevents stray par
ticles from getting in the eyes.
Gloves with the trigger finger cut
out are often worn and, of course,
all regular followers OF the sport
wear the emblem of their particular
club.
Women who plaster their coats
with felt emblems given to winners
of matches are not, however, par
ticular smart. It makes the coat
look family like patchwork quilt,
and Mrs. Coe approves the idea of
putting them in the back of trophy
cases instead. Shorts are another
disliked phase of skeet shooting
fashions. They are worn often In

AS we have mentioned, rain never

include a beeswax-l like preparation
