UOWn tIllS ldll ana WlIlteT.
The career girl, homemaker and
lady of leisure, are starting on their
fall shopping sprees at this moment.
AS one girl put it, You have to have
fall clothes now, especially in the
evening. Summer things look al
most silly" And that's very true.
In spite of the fact that September
has just begun, fall clothes are to
be desired And if you're as tired of
your summer outfits as we are, you
are downtown this minute poking
around!
When you go to buy your first fall
dress, If you haven't already done
so. the chances are that it will be
black This is the wisest choice,
for it offers a definite contrast from
light summer colors, and the local
stores are well stocked with black
clothes in all the newest silhouettes.
Black trimmed with gold is the IA
vorite now in great majority Of
shops, and those which are not al
ready trimmed may be transformed
with the aid of smart neckline or
clip. So if you invest in black and
gold dress you're not far from
''tops."
Crepes and Woods
Best at Moment.
If your selection is black it will
more than likely also be crepe. Here
you will find any number of smart
dresses in two major silhouettes,
first, the dress with back interest
which has made fashion news dur
ing the past few months. Needless
to say, the extreme hustle effect has
somewhat vanished to be replaced
by draped backs with only sug-
gestion of a hustle AS one buyer
explained, These dresses sell them
selves. Women like them because
they are a change from the front
fullness seen in the past two years.
The new dresses give nice smooth
line in front and f1attering drape in
the back" The other silhouette
especially well done in crepe is the
princess line model which accents
slim hips and waistline. Thus, we
have two direct opposites; the
draped back dress, sometimes with
gored or pleated skirt, and the slim,
straight model which emphasizes a
tiny waist and hips.
Although these same silhouettes
are not SO pronounced in Wools,
you will find the fabric much more
important than ever. Here, too,
you get color-and what marvellous
shades there are. Grape tones (and
they title them everything from
Slueberry to raspberry and back

HOW AMERICAN GOODS ARE
SOLD ABROAD

If foreigners bought American
goods from a catalogue, the extent
of the nations foreign sales would
depend only upon our ability to de-
Sign, produce and effectively distri-
butte attractive catalogues through
out the world.
American manufactured goods,
however, are sold abroad not from
catalogues, ,but almost entirely as a
result Of the employment OF Amer
lean capital abroad in the develop
ment and operation of business en-
terprise. Thus, our manufactured
goods are sold by actual use and
demonstration by American concerns
rather than from a catalogue This
point Is definitely established in an
August 18th letter written by James
". Gerard, former U. S. Ambassador
to Germany. and published in the
New York Times.
According to Mr.. Gerard, between
l9l6-1S3S the foreign owned oil COM
pannies, despOiled in 1888 by Mexi-
co, bought in the United States and
shipped to Mexico S746 ,296 .O33 worth
of machinery and other U. S. manu-
featured goods and supplies which
they used in developing and oper-
ating their properties. These self
same oil companies during the same
period, paid out in Mexico for taxes,
customs duties, labor, freight
charges, and other native services
an6 supplies considerably more
thaA one billion dollars. thereby
greatly augmenting Mexico's pur-
chasing power. Estimates are that
fully one-third of this sum was spent
for L. S. goods. The oil industry
alone during the l9l6-193S, twenty /
two year period thus created and
provided Mexican market for more
than one billion dollars worth of /
American manufactured goods.
During this same twenty-five year
period total U. S. exports in Mexi-
&C, according to Department of Com
nerce reports, were $2,364,27S,2SO.
rhe oil industry directly bought or
created a Mexican market for more
han one billion dollars or about As
per cent of this sum American own
ID mining, railroad, utility and far
ming industries and activities in
Mexico in like manner created and
provided the Mexican market for
most of the balance of our trade with

"VENTURRSOME CAPITAL"

1T is essential that we direct our
energies toward every move that will

That is the view, not of some wall

Hanes, Under Secretary of the Treas

And he said, in addition: I'VE are
confronted today with a great sur

shortage of that which does Ven
turesome capital is needed to induce

New enterprises can be started and
old ones that are subject to rapid

NYA NerEs

As a result of studies just com
T, pletsd. it appears that NYA students
at Delaware colleges are better and
more outstanding students than the
group as a whole. Although less
than 1-6 of the student body at the
University of Delaware were m
ployed on NYA at any, time du .ing
the past academic year, over 1-2 or
IA out of 25, of the students elected
to Phi Kappa Phi, the leading honor
society at the University, were NYA
students; over 1-2 or out of z, of
the students elected to Tau Beta Phi,
the engineering honor society, were
employed on NYA. and over 1-5 or 36
out of 165, of the students ON the
deans honor roll were NYA workers.
In addition, NYA students filled the
following offices: Two of the four
class presidencies, the presidency of
the student council. and the editor-in-
chiefship of the Review, the college
publication.
Again at the state college for Col
Ored Students, Dover. out of Is stu
dents who were on the NYA. 8 re-
eeived awards at the end of the aca-
demie year, including the j. A. Freer
prize for general leadership. OF these
s, 4 received two awards.
There are possibly two reasons for
the good showing made by NYA stu
dents. The first is that in selecting
those to be employed. consideration
is given to leadership, scholastic
ability. and personal qualities as well
as need of employment. Secondly.
Il is possibly true that those who
ind it necessary to work while at
college take greater advan-
iage of the opportunities.
Credit for the results obtained is
iue to the college officials in charge
lf NYA-Mr. Charles Bush at the
University of Delaware, and Mr.. ].
B. Clarke at the State College for
COloTed Students.

RADIANF LIVING
THIEVES FROM JERICHO
BY Rev. C. M. Griffefh
Pastor Ridgely M. E. Church
Ridgely, Md.

What a tragedy happened to thai
man who went down from Jeru-
salem to Jericho and fell among
thieves!" They stripped him of his
raiment," Jesus tells us, land wound
ed him, and left him half dead"
Are not Jesus words descriptive of
the tragedy that happens when a
spiritual consecrated man of God
slips away from his holy living and
gradually sinks into a life of sinful,
selfish living? Such a man truly
leaves Jerusalem" and goes down
to Jericho
Jerusalem" meaning city of
peace" symbOlizes an unselfish life
centered in a devOut love for God,
spiritual in character, moral in tone,
and holy in atmosphere.
Jericho on the other hand,
means fragrance. 1t was city of
the valley a place of palms, luxury,
and vice. II 5ymbolizes a goddess life
that exists only for sensuoLs pleas
ure.
One could not leave Jerusalem, sit
uated as il was on a mountains
height, typical of a high spiritual
life, and start for Jericho in the val
ley, without going down" Any de-
parture from Jerusalem is down.
And, along the way to Jericho !
there lurk the seven thieves of Satan
There is, for instance, their chief. |
pOmpOu8 SelflOve There Is his bud /
dy, wrinkled-face MOneylust. There |
is nervous Funcraze, and Old fat Eas- |
edesire. There is crafty Compromise. |
Weakwilled Neglect, and easygoing
Putitoff.
These thieves are ruthless viii
lians. Any one of them is capable of
you of every spiritual gar
nent that you possesa. Any one Of
hem can give you such a wound in
he spirit as to incapacitate you for
my further Christian service. ANY
me OF them, by Staying your spiritual
lfe, will leave you half dead d"-Only
he physical being left.
The best way TO avoid the thieves
long the Jericho road is to stay in
erusalem.

The conclusion is as plain as the

are not sold in foreign countries by
correspondence, catalogues or sales
men. but are sold instead becauae
American companies use and thus
them to natives who in
turn. as new wealth is created, buy
these same brands of products and
goods. And these markets are sus-
tanned by the protection of the ma

NO GUESS WORK

The function OF life insurance is to
take guesswork out of the unknown.
A fortune in invested capital or
real estate may disappear almoNt
overnight. Life insurance, if the con-
tract is met by the purchaser, sell
dom fails. You know beforehand pre-
cisely what you are getting-and you
get it right ON the dot when the
time comes.
No man knows whether he will be
able to leave an adequate estate
when he dies, or whether he will
amass sufficient capital TO assure
him a comfortable. Independent old
age. To make those things more GER
tain is the principal service of life
insurance.
