Stor Guard Lost Season,
Due to Be Improved;
IS Still Unsigned
BY BILL DISMER. Jr.

Clem SCTalka, Georgetown Un1Ver-
sity's crack guard from 1935-1937,
who last year made good in his first
attempt in professional football, to-
day sent in his signed contract to
the Washington Redskins for the
1899 National League campaign.
Touted by Coach Ray Flaherty as
one of the two most outstanding
linemen on the team at the end Of
the season, Stralka proved as good
a guard as the Redskins had all last
year. And because he was excep-
tionally quick to learn and rapidly
picked up most of the tricks in the
pro league, he is expected to be even
more of an asset to the Indians next
fall. Stralka has a hard, straight
charge and rarely was he mouse
trapped" on any play.
Now employed as recreational di-
rector at White Plains, N. Y, Stralka
notified Redskin officials that he
weighs 205 pounds and is in perfect
condition. He has the ideal build
for guard, standing 5 feet 10.
Seven Vets in Line.
Stralka's signing brought to 81
the number of players now under
contract with the Tribe. Six others
were members of the 1898 team
Sammy Baugh, Charlie Malone,
Wayne Millner, Don Irwin, Bob
Masterson and Wee Willie Wilkin-
while the others are college seniors
who will make their pro debuts next
fall.
OF the remaining IS, 9 are players
whom the Redskins selected, in the
college draft. According to Owner
George Marshall, never before have
the Redskins been able to sign as
many high-class players from COL
lege ranks in one year as they have
since the close of the 1888 season.

w HAT was good enough for our
W great great grandmamas
should be equally as good for us.
Some such thought must have mott
waited the minds of our modern fab
ricists when they announced for fall
and winter 1939-1940 a revival of the
quality-kind old-fashioned silks such
as were the pride and the joy of our
ancestresses. Call them heirloom
silks if you will, for some of the
silk Weaves so chic and so fabric
fine that are considered high-style
today but tell the story over again
of sterling-worth bengalines, failles;
likewise traditional ottoman silks
and grosgrains, also stand-alone
moires and taffetas that make music
with their rustic of real honest-to-
goodness silk
When you come to analyze the
present situation, the re-incarnation
in current fashion of the elegant
lovely LADY, fashions so charac-
teristic of the early Victorian and
Edwardian periods, we of this gen
GRAFTON just naturally have to think
in terms of fabric elegance.
The idea that prevails this season
is fabric elegance for dresses
styled with utmost simplicity, de-
pending on accessories for dash and
allure. High value is put on skillful
fabric treatment in Grapes, shirr-
ings, pleating and sef-fabric details.
1t is a very silk-conscious group
we present in the Illustration here
with. A great favorite with French
designers is pure silk jersey which
they say, and they prove it in the
lovely creations they turn out, has
no peer when it comes to sculptural

Whimsical Velvet
Turbans in Colors

Milliners are designing adorable
little velvet turbans, bright with col
or, to wear with fur coats this winter
or to crown smart dinner gowns with
glory. These little fantasies of velvet
are often allover shirred or are
formed of myriads of little corded
loops. Some houses are showing
them in that old-time favorite, old
gold. Others exploit them in teal
blue to ensemble with silver jewelry
set in blue stones, and as for eye
dazzling red, there's nothing smart
er than red hat with black dress.
In fact these cunning velvet tur-
bans have gone on a gay and festive
color spree. The fireman-red velvet
types make you stop, look and lis
ten" but you'll love these startling
reds just the same. With dark furs
they are simply perfect.
Most of these flattering little hats
have snood to cover the couture
at the back, and it's mighty like a
rose" that some of them look being
often a huge pouf of velvet in flow
er color, posed jauntily low over
the brow.

draping and intriguing stirring.
The attractive dress to the left in
the picture is of smooth, dark silk
jersey. Although it has been elab-
orately draped and shirred, the slen-
der silhouette has been in no respect
sacrificed. If you haven't a silk
jersey preferably black daytime
dress in your collection you are los
ing out on lot of pleasure and COM
fort. Choose dark or black jersey
for practical afternoon wear and for
your loveliest formal let it be of
white silk jersey sculpturally draped,
adding gold accents to make it SUI
premely beautiful. s
A draped and SHRED green silk
crepe luncheon dress, designed for
the new corseted lady, is shown to
the right. 1t speaks eloquently in
favor of fabric treatment. Note the
self fabric pleated ruffle on the bod
ice the wide corselet belt and
other fetching styling details.
Conferred in the trio is a striking
evening ensemble developed of
handsome silk white faille, for faille,
such as our grandmothers treasured,
is again a favorite silk Note the
brief peplum that flares from the
new lowered waistline of the basque
jacket The novel square buttons
are of outstanding style Importance.
It's fortunate you'll be if you have
stored away among heirlooms some
of the gorgeous jeweled buttons that
once were fashionable and are so
again. Glorify your evening coat
with these buttons or your blouse or
your "bestest" afternoon dress.
In conclusion just a word about
the stunning jacket tailored suits
that are made of black bengaline
silk or faille. These silk classics
register among the topnotch fash
ions of the day.

else can be taken by lying on your back
and working your legs in bicycle fash
ion in the air. This isn't as much fun
as actual bicycling but as far as cor
recting the figure goes, it serves the
same purpose.
The skin on your legs, too, is impOr-
tant, whether you go in for shorts and
swim suits or merely sheer stockings
Scrub your legs hard with a brush to
stimulate the circulation and slough off
dry, fakey skin. If the skin is excess
sively dry, especially after exposure to
the sun, little cream rubbed into the
skin and allowed to remain will help
correct this condition.
Hair on Legs Should be Removed
And then there's the matter of
superfuous hair on the legs. Nothing
detracts from the appearance of the
legs more than unsightly hair. The
way you remove the hair is matter
Of personal preference, but the point
is-remove it! There's always the
simple razor, quick, easy to use and
effective. Then there are the paste
depilatories which seem to melt away
the hair at first using. Or you can rub
it off with emery-board-like contlivan-
ces. There is also wax which re-
moves the hair very effectively when
used by professionals and by some few
amateurs who are proficient at the art.
Remember that your legs are almost
half of your body. Get to work on

 Hitler To Be Crowned
 Subsequently, he believed, Hitler will be crowned in Rome, possibly next Christmas day, as emperor of new holy Roman empire" Then, in his quest for raw materials, Hitler will tread on the toes of either Bri- tain, France and Russia ,precipitat- ing a new world war, Bishop Noli said.
 Within month of outbreak of hostilities, probably within a year, he said, America will send troops to Europe and again the democracies will triumph and once more Europe will be split into small counGries.
 Not until after the "next" world war, the bishop said, will Albania have a chance to regain i:s inoepend- ence. Then, he said. he will be gl~ d to cooperate with Fog reestab.isning Albania as a republic.

Torrio and two of his co-defend- ants answered affirmatively.
 How do you plead?" the clerk asked.
 Each responded with the single word, guilty"
 Torio was smiling as he was led from the courtroom by deputy mar shals.
 The governments case against the mild-mannered 54-year -old Chica- goan had centered around charges that he had evaded payment of $86, 900 in income taxes for the years 1893, 1884 and 1885. Torrio reported and paid taxes on an income slight ly in excess of $i0, 1000 for that period
 The government contended that his income exceeded $332,000.
 It had endeavored in the early days of the trial to show Torrio's connection with the operation of the liquor firm of Prendergast-D Davies.

GRAND OLD MAN

(Continued from Page D


 Dr. Cross said Hitler had his eye on all the small countries of Europe -east and west. Full control of Europe" he called it.
 As for himself, he said he had "kept busy" since he retired as gov> ernor in January.
 I'm interested in public affairs" he said, land I'm not thinking about small politics. I'm not interested in ploitics in the narrow sense"
 Something Definite Soon
 What does he plan for the future?
 T shall be on something definite pretty soon-perhaps in a literary way"
 It was known he had been offered contract to write daily column, along the style of the late Will Rog- CTS. But Dr. Cross wouldn't say yes or no on this one.
 The former governor would say nothing about national politics. He recently was engaged by the federal government to be a representative of the public shoe industry labor hearings and spent two days in the capitol last week "on the job".
 He expressed interest in the hap penings at the general assembly here and asked repeated questions "as to how things were going" He left the impresston he was out of politics.
 He discussed forthcoming legisla- tion and commented on the con- troversial conspiracy and anti-in- junction bills.
 'The conspiracy bill," he said, should be a very carefully drawn measure and must not be vague. AS for the anti-injunction bill, it should give labor groups the right to be heard at hearing. They are not represented now"
 Observing Capitol Hill Events
 As for the events on Capitol Hill," he said: T am not taking an active part in whats going on up there. I'm just observing what's go- ing on. have had no conferences with anyone"
 And then he looked back on his life before he became governor in 1880, the first Democratic governor since the World War.
 "The things that count" he said, "The more permanent things, were done before I was governor. The books wrote are more lasting than anything else"
 He looked out the window at an April snow-storm. I'm still as spry as was when I was governor. I still climb stairs-just the same"
 And then he told about the won derful time" he had at the perfor- nance of Hamlet" and King Henry The Fourth" here over the weekend.
 "You know" he said, T was the only one backstage with Maurice Evans. Shakespeare was the greatest of them all"
