On-tO-NicOllet Trip
Draws Over 100

The Askov On-to-Nicollet COM
mittee reports that more than 100
went on the trip to Minneapolis Fri
day to see the double header night
baseball games between Minneapolis
and Louisville. The Millers won both
contests.
While it is not known definitely,
officially, how many were registered
at the baseball park, it is thought that
the number will be greater than last
year when Askov's delegation won
silver trophy. School buses and cars
were used to make the trip and Is
minutes of radio time was used over
station WCCO.

International
News Review
BY GEORG sTRANDvOLD

twenty-five years ago today France
declared war on Germany, the Aus
trian-H Hungarian government having
declared war on Serbia already on
July %, 1914. And just now there ap-
pears-for the moment, anyhow-to
be less danger of a new war than for
many months; of course, the danger
is always present where great pow
ers arm as they are doing now, but,
generally speaking, that danger is not
as acute as a few weeks back. One
indication of this is the fact that one
just now hears and sees fewer refer
ences to the Danzig problem than
had been the case; that does not
mean that Germany has abandoned
the idea of reuniting Danzig with
itself, but apparently it signifies that
Hitler has no intention of using force.
Can He Afford 1t?
If it is, as it seems to be, correct
that Hitler does not want to 60 to
war, one obvious question would be:
If he would, could he? Could he
afford it?
There is some reason for believing
that the stiffening of the British atti-
tude may have impressed Hitler with
the possibility that this time Cham
berlain means business and is not
bluffing as he was last fall when the
Sudetenland matter was disposed of.
But although there may be such a
fear, it is quite conceivable that eco
nomic stress in Germany itself is the
decisive factor.
Germany has not enough raw ma
terials, not enough men for indus
trial production, and this fact nat
urally handicaps whatever military
program Hitler may have in mind.
With regard to raw materials, the
shortage is particularly marked where
they have to be imported, so that sup
plies are dependent primarily on the
availability of foreign exchange. And
in regard to the insufficiency of labor,
it is felt mostly in the building trades,
Woodworking industries and coal
mining.
Actually, Germany has had to i'm
port labor from other countries, and
recently more than hundred thou
sand workers have come from abroad,
but one cannot say that the terms on
which they must work are very en-
couraging, for it is stipulated that
whatever money they earn, must be
spent in Germany; that makes it i'm
possible for them to send funds to

Fashions From
New York
BY S. D. Bloeme

New York, Feb. 23.-Stripes in
the Gypsy manner are the hit of
the Paris couture season, and
stripes in the Gypsy manner is
what New York is taking to it's
heart
Nettie Rosenstein, the famous
American designer, does it for
evening to great success with her
Shirtwaist-frOnted gown of multi
color striped crepe. The shirt is
white wolfe with a large collar
and is closed by four tiny white
pearl buttons. 1t is short-sleeved
in the directoire manner that is
popular for the Spring. 1t has
a silhouette blouse effect all
around. The skirt is ankle length
with a flowing fullness that gives
one the illusion of yards and
yards of material having been
used. The stripes in heavy crepe
are red, green, pold, black and
white falling diagonally into
folds and drapes as one swishes
by The skirt and bloused shirt
waist are held by sash of the
same color as the skirt. 1t is of
enormous length that insists upon
being draped around the hips of

the wearer and then tied, letting
the ends fall gracefully into the
folds of the gown. OF course, this
tightly draped sash has quite a
bit to do with the careless gypsy
effect. And if this gown doesn't
give the desired abandon to it's
Wearer, then the wearer should
choose some other striped gown
to keep in the mode!
For daytime, gray wagon
crepe with black and white quar-
ter inch diagonal stripes. loose
pleated in the bodice and skirt,
accentuating the tiny waist, with
tiny puffed sleeves, is quite the
thing. This is highlighted by four
large red triangular buttons and
a black patent leather belt trim
med in red suede.
Anoher in this rend is a black
and gold print The skirt is loose
pleated giving the appearance of
a silhouette fullness both back
and front. The waist is very high
with shirred sleeveless, and is
held by six cloth covered buttons

P. r. r. EXHIBIT AT THE
GOLDEN GATE "EXPo"

Modern railroad transportation,
in all it's most advanced features
Of convenience, luxury, speed
and safety, is portrayed in strik-
ing form in the exhibit of the
Pennsylvania Railroad at the Col
den Gate International Exposition
in San Francisco, which opened
February Is. High spots of the
display depict to the eye the latest
types Of facilities and service Of
fered to passenger and shipper by
a railroad Of today. Colorful do
ramas, with scale model trains and
appropriate scenic backgrounds,
illustrate the operation of modern
freight and passenger trains. Com
plete sound effects, with the
whistles and the putting of locomo-
tives heighten the touches of
realism. Interspersed between
the diorama showings, short NOV
ing picture subjects graphically
depict various phases Of modern
railroad service and progress.

the same material completes the
ensemble. This costume is es-
pecially adaptable for the in-be-
tween hours Of lunch and infor-
NAL dinner.
Not to be outdone by the
weaker SEX, the men are going
in for stripes, too! Perhaps Bond
Street had an Sin" at the preview
showing of feminine wearing ap-
parel, Or vice versa. All the bet
ter clothiers are showing heavy,
looking tweed. cheviot and covert
cloth in diagonal, horizontal and
vertical .stripings.
Since brown is a leader in
Spring colors for suitings, a
brown diagonal striped cheviot is
this weeks outstanding model.
This comes in the new square
cut jacket with loose pleats at
the hip. This is new, too. Here
toIOre, the draplng OF "a mans
jacket was done in the cutting of
the material. But now, tailors
have discovered = or, perhaps |
should say stolen the idea from
the women that loose pleats
give the drape effect without the
actual intake, thereby letting the
extra material be used for stretch
ing and freeness in movement.
The vest is cut high. The trous-
ers taper slightly from the knee
and are pleated at the hip. This
is ideal for daytime or country
wear.
If your eyes begin to show the
strain of all the stripes in store
for you, don't blame it on your
eyes - in fact, don't blame it on
anything or anybody = just for
get the whole thing! For nothing
cano or will stop the swing it
stripes for the Spring!
