Germany Building Air Bose in BoIivio

CONSTRUCTION of a huge
 modern air base at Trinidad Bolivia, by the German-owned Bolivian Airways forecasts es- tablishment of a new trans- Atlantic link between the Reich and South Americas newest dic- tator state.
 While details of the Bolivian concession to Germany have been kept secret, private advices indi- cate that it was granted in ex- change for arms, munitions and motorized equipment, necessary for Dictator German Busch's two. year rearmament plan.
 The enlarged airport not only provides Germany with adequate facilities for a South Atlantic air. line, but also places either Bolivia or Germany within easy striking distance of Brazil, Argentine and Paraguay.
 Closer trade and diplomatic re- lati0ns with Germany have fol- lowed the coup last April which established the former president, Lieutenant Colonel Busch, as head of tota1itarian state. Bolivian oil fields will be developed by German interests in exchange for manufactured goods, especially machinery. A military mission, headed by General Quintanillas, commander-in-chief of the Bo- livian army, has been sent to Italy and Germany.
 Such developments were not surprising. Dictator Busch is the son of a German. He is a great admirer of Franco, as are many of the officers of his army. His chief adviser is the son of an Italian, Dionisio Foianini, whose admiration for Mussolini is un- denied.

Week Filled
With Style
Displays
Newest Fashions
Hold Interest
Everywhere
BY HELEN YOGT.

Since the beginning of the fall
season, the After-Dark editor has
been casting suspicious glances at
this department. So many fashion
shows are now arranged for both
day and evening that the local style
reporters are beginning to feel like
night club editors-even though
they don't envy their jobs.
To start off the round, we went
down to the Lafayette Hotel on
Wednesday evening. A supper
show. around II pm, was presented
by Philip-Louise, and a very well
done performance it was. We
noticed that the gentlemen in the
room enjoyed this break in the eve
ming almost as well as did the
ladies.
Thursday night brought a dinner
dance at 2400 Sixteenth street, where
Jean Matou presented a lovely COL
lection. The room was packed to
the doors, what with an excellent
show, fine food and the lovely
clothes. . 1t made a perfect combi-
nation.
Friday night, just to make the
week complete. we tore out to the
Shoreham to see the Gown of the
Evening" Mrs. Thelma Doyle, who
does the selecting. outdid herself in
finding a gray chiffon dinner gown
with checker board jacket of red
sequinS.
Saturday, of course, meant rush.
ing from one fashion luncheon to
another. Sort of progressive
jump from one chicken patty to the
next. Went first to the Shore
ham where the furs from Essie
ODonnell Co. made news. Flown
from New York for the occasion,
they included the rich toned King
Fox, which, it was said, was restrict
ed to the Russian nobility for 1000
years. Daytime dresses were also
shown.
From there it was just a step to
the Raleigh Hotel. Alice Fay's COL
lection of day and evening clothes
included very handsome models for
the matron as well as the younger
woman. Escorts wore the peren-
nial black tie from Saltz Bros. There
was also a great deal of hiding un-
der the tables when the Arthur
Murray experts demonstrated some
of the common faults seen in dane
ing. We didn't feel so good our
selves!

Well chosen condiments add

along straight lines, with some idea
where furniture was to be placed,
we could set in whole sections of
wallboard about the depth of the
plaster, point up to this with plaster
of paris and get fairly smooth wall
surface. When covered with wall
paper, this surface did not show it's
patched and bandaged condition
Small patches were repaired with
plaster of paris and the plasterer
was needed for only one ceiling and
one wall surface.
Broken plaster was trimmed out
with chisel along a straight line.
Composition wallboard was placed
in the uncovered section right over
the old lath, which raised the wall
board to the height of the old wall
surface. We used as few nails as
were safe to hold the board securely
and were careful to drive them in
just flush with the wallboard to
avoid dents. We then pointed up
with the plaster of paris.
Use Plaster of
Paris Correctly.
The way you use your plaster Of
paris is most important. Get
rubber cup from the hardware
store, fill it half full of water and
pour the plaster in slowly until the
water absorbs it all Do not stir OF
shake for five minutes. Then, with
a tiny spatula or putty knife fill in
your cracks. Plaster of paris mixed
any other way will check and
crack, granulate and drop out.
Before the plaster has chance to
set hard, which takes about twenty
minutes, smooth it with the putty
knife and sponge over with a wet
cloth to take out all the creases. 1t
will set hard and tight. Over the
cracks in the wallboard we used
two-inch bandage stuck on with
wallpaper paste. This also covered
the heads of the tacks. This was
highly successful on the walls
where the bandage was allowed to
dry before the wallpaper was put
on. On the ceilings in two bed
rooms, where the whole ceiling was
put in with wallboard, the paper
hanger bandaged the cracks just
before the paper was put on. AS
they both dried, however, the band
age shrunk, cracking the paper This
can easily be patched, but it can
also be avoided by being sure that
the bandage is done a day or so
before the paper is put on.
I attended to filling in the cracks,
while the wallboard was set by Will,
our Jack of all trades, who was will
ing to do as asked. even though he
did not approve. I saved a good
tWo-thirds of what it would have
cost to have the walls plastered, and
a good three weeks in time, as we
were able to put on the papers the
day after the patching and bandag-
ing was done.
The walls, including the ceilings,
were papered for $3.50 a room. The
papers were inexpensive but color
full, and the entire cost of papers and
labor was $50. With the aid of
few friends who liked to paint, we
did all the interior woodwork our
selves.
Floors were not quite good enough
to refinish in the natural wood, en-
failing the expense of scraping
them. These we painted also, using
color to warm them and add interest
| to the color scheme.

Dorothy Dix Says
Romance Flies Out the Window
When There Are Unpaid Bills

months of waiting is a poor thing
that will not endure lifetime. He
would say that anything that is
worth having is worth working for
and sacrificing for. He would say
that marriage isn't all romance:
that it is bills for food and lodging
and heat and light and clothes and
amusements and sickness, and that
if it is not adequately financed it
will go bankrupt just as surely as
any other venture would.
He would say that he has known
so many marriages that have gone
on the rocks just because a boy and
girl were so anxious to get married
that they would not wait until they
were ready to marry. He would say
that if only they had waited until
they were free of debt and had
saved enough money to go to house.
keeping in even the simplest way
they would have had a happy and
prosperous life together. But they
didn't do it.
They married and piled new debts
on old debts until the sound of the
bill collector was the first thing they
heard in the morning and the last
thing they heard at night. They
never had a chance to be free, to
be happy, to grow together For
they had not even anything pleas
ant to talk about and in time each
came to blame the other for their
plight.
So I urge you to consider the
practical as well as the sentimental
side of marriage before you rush
into it. Whether you are married
in a satin dress and orangle bios
SONS or a street suit does not mat
ter. But having enough money to
live in a decent place and meet
the grocery bill does matter. For
you will be just as hungry after
marriage as you are before; you will
take just the same interest in the
new styles and you will want to go
to the movies just the same. You
can get mighty sick and tired of
looking at the same man or woman
if that is everything you have to
do. So put off your marriage until
you can afford it.

to act.
We've already helped out num-
ber of girls whose first college week
end has presented them with prob
lens, Now we're going to pass along
some general tips, to enable you to
make the most of these golden op-
portunities to go places and do
things.
Let's suppose that. Babs gets let
ter from Bill, inviting her to come up
to good old Luna Tech for the big
social week end of the first semester.
Unless he's a confirmed dolt, Bill will
outline the program of events pretty
carefully for Babs, SO she'll have
some idea OF what clothes to bring.
How She'll Plan
Her Wardrobe.
For instance, if she's going to at
tend football game at this chilly
tag-end of the season, she'll want
to have her woolies along-or, at
least, her warmest coat and her ga
loshes. Shivering spines and frozen
feet aren't romantic, even when
you're in huddle on the 50-yard
line. On the other hand, a boxing
meet on Saturday afternoon will call
for spectator sports costume which
will look we'll indoors.
So Babs will plan her clothes care
fully, in the light of the scheduled
events. She'll wear a suit or dark
street dress for the train or bus trip
and include her incest evening gown
for the big dance. And she'll take
her prettiest nightgown, robe and
| slippers, on the chance that she'll
be sharing room with another girl
or girls.
Right here we'd better inject a
few comments regarding sleeping
arrangements. If Babs is going to
a regular house party at a fraternity
house. she won't have to worry about
hotel or rooming house accommoda-
tions. The dear brothers will move
out and turn the house over to
their house party suitably
chaperoned, of course.
But if she's going up for an occa-
sion other than a house party she'll
have to engage room. Now, some
OF the etiquette experts claim that
under such circumstances the girl
must pay her own hotel bill. This
will come as something of shock
to perfectly moral and gentlemanly
students at many colleges, who al
ways engage rooms for their week.
end visitors in advance as a matter
of course-and pay for them.
Such rooms are reserved in local
hotels, or in rooming houses ap-
proved by the college authorities
Often these authorities provide a
chaperon for the girls during the
week end. And under these circum-
stances, we don't feel that Babs
should adopt a silly How dare you
sir?" attitude if she discovers that
Bill has already paid for her hote
room.
However, customs differ at various
colleges, so unless Babs knows fol
sure what the usual procedure is
she should go prepared to meet hel
own hotel expenses.
In any case, Babs will arrange
for and pay for her transportation
Bill will meet her at the train or the
bus and from that ploment she will
have nothing to bother about, since
Bill knows his way around. Hell
take care of her luggage, take her
to the hotel or rooming house and
see that she meets the dates of his
friends or fraternity brothers.
! Babs will have sold herself solidly

DEAR MISS DIX-We are a
couple in love and want to get mar
ried. My husband-to-be and I are
both "a years old and he insists on
our being married at once, but if we
do we would have to live in a fur
nished room for a few months, have
very simple wedding, no bridal
trip and none of the trimmings of
real wedding Besides, he and I
both have some bills that we have
to pay on for several months any,
how. Although my fiance has a
good Government job, to keep it
will require him to go to school five
nights week for three years or
longer. That will leave me at home
alone on these nights. I have a
decent job that will take care of my
own needs, but if we get married
his school and the incidental ex-
penseS will exhaust that. Do you
think that we should wait until all
bills are paid up and we can have
a regular wedding and move into
an apartment? Or should we get
married now, with nothing to look
forward to for several months at
least? ANXIOUS.
Answer:
Necessarily you must make your
own decision in such an important
matter. A sentimentalist would tell
you to 60 on with the wedding with
out stopping to consider the state
of your finances. He would say that
love can turn the dingiest and most
squalid room into a paradise, and
that bread and cheese are angels
food if favored by kisses.
But realist would say wait. He
would say that love that is not
strong enough to last over a few
