Drafting Of
Roosevelt Is
Very Likely
RY w. r. RACSDALE.

Washington, Oct. 28-(AP)-The
White House disapprOval of Secre-
tary Wallace's third term proposal
emphasizes the likelihood of cry of
draft Roosevelt will be ringing thro-
ugh the leafless trees before winter
comes.
The frown might be taken as a
clear hint that President Roosevelt
has no present intention of being an
active candidate for third term nom
nation. Yet by no stretch Of the
Imagination does it bar him from the
running. 1t puts stress on the inept
timing of the Wallace declaration
even though made by a wholly loyal
member of the Roosevelt official
family. His fight for removal of the
arms embargo was just reaching its
critical stage in the Senate. Another
battle with a sharper division Of sem
timent is yet to be fought in the
House. The Republicans had been
urged to forget partisan politics for
the time.
The whole story does not lie in the
arms embargo situation, however.
Some of Mr.. Roosevelt's closest
friends are convinced that he has
not made up his mind whether to
run again. These feel that whether
he does depends upon two things.
First perhaps it is the strength that
underlies any outside third term de-
mand as convention time approaches.
Second, is the situation inside the
party next spring.

Berlin, Oct % (AP) News

Industries OF
Britain Seek
Market Here

London, Oct. 29-(AP)-Great
Britain was pictured authoritatively
today as driving her war regi-
mented industry to increase sales
to the United States and other
American countries for dollars with
which to buy war materials.
The nation also is trying TO keep
as much money as possible at home
through producing dOmestlcally
what formerly was bought abroad,
particularly food, and through
strict control Of the export Of $or-
ejgn exchange necessary to buy
American goods.
By buying less and selling more
abroad, Officials hope for speedy
recovery Of Britain's business life
from the first shock of the war.
In the first month Of the war ex-
ports decreased 42& through the
sudden dislocation of trade.
But now British manufacturers
plan with government help to cap

New Year Brings New Money;
Air Force Starts Expanding

WASHINGTON.- with new
funds in a new fiscal year, Uncle
Sam this month is embarking on
the largest aerial expansion pro-
gram in history, designed in the next
few years to give the nation SUI
perior fighting force and strategic
aviation bases which will make the
North American continent virtually
impregnable from an enemy attack.
BY the end of this month con-
tracts will probably be let for con-
struction of $500 planes of 10 types,
to be followed by 5000 more ships
during the coming two years. Al
though congressional appropriations
are providing for only $500 planes,
army officials hope mass production
will lower the cost sufficiently to
permit an extra 500, or 5000 in all.
Though details of the expansion
program are shrouded in official Sc
crecy, it is known that the 10 types
of planes are: light, primary, basic
and advanced training ships; two
and four-engine bombers, one and
two engine interceptor pursuit
planes, multiplace fighters and OBJ
servation craft. Costs will range
from $4,000 or $4,000 for training
planes to $250,OOO for the heavy
bombers, such as the present type
17-ton flying fortresses.'
To man the new ships broad
ened pilot training system is being
inaugurated. Basic training will be
given at nine scattered aviation
schools, the cadets to be transferred
later to Randolph and Kelly fields,
Texas, for advanced training. About
1000 pilots and $4,000 mechanics
will be trained during the next two
years. To secure fit candidates, an
enlistment campaign has been start
ed to sign up liz, 1000 men from 18 to
35 years old within the next IL
months.
Many of these men will ultimately
be stationed at new military and
air bases in tropical Puerto Rico,
Hawaii, Panama and Alaska, to be

"All deficiency diseases seem al

never one of ricketts,. Tooth decay

Dime Thriller of World War Sabotage
Again Makes News, but Nazis Object
Black Tom, Kingsland
Explosions Laid at
Cermany's Door.
By PETER BEARDSLEE

It was 2 a. M, the morning
of July 80, 1916. A Waterman
yawned into the night from
atop a New York skyscraper,
cursing the heat that seemed
to be drifting in from Jersey
City way.
Suddenly something more
came from Jersey City.
A CHASTITY defamation thun-
dered across the Hudson river.
Flames scared the sky. Lower
New York rocked and million
dollars worth of glass splint-
cred and showered the cavern
Gus streets.
At that moment $50 car
loads of ammunition con-
signed for allied troops in
Europe were blown sky high from
the sprawling BLACK Tom" pier OF
the Lehigh Valley railroad. 1t looked
like sabotage.
Six months later, on January IL,
1917, workmen were rushing COM
pletion of $15,000,OO shell order
for Russia at the Canadian Car &
Foundry munitions plant, Kings
land, N. J. Fellow laborers saw
Theodore Wozniak beating at flames
around his workbench, then reach
for a pail of liquid which only stimu-
lated the blaze. Within five min
utes the Kingsland plant was an in
ferno and shells meant for Austri-
ans and Germans were rocketing
into New jerseys peaceful skies.
This, too, looked like sabotage.
Last June Is, almost % years
after the Black Tom scare, Ger
man-American mixed claims COM
mission decided it indeed was sab
otage, but the decision was largely
American-made. After IL years of
negotiations, featured by one re-
versed decision after another, by
story-book spy tales and information
al intrigue, the German representa-
ton walked out just before Justice
Owen J. Roberts of the United States
Supreme court refereed that the
Nazi government was liable for
nearly $55, 100000 damages.
AS early as 1924 the German gov
eminent offered $18,000,000 in set
Element, in itself an admission that
the Kaiser's saboteurs had been re-
sponsible. But the real stranger
than-fction story of these CHASTITY
explosions comes to light in testi-
mony before the mixed claims COM
mission.
A few minutes after Black Tom

w HEN it comes to the voguish-
w ness of prints versus pastels
in the present mode the matter re-
solves itself into pretty much of a
fifty-ffty proposition. Which is to
say that the midsummer collections
are made up of goodly showing of
each.
There is no doubt as to the i'm
portance of pastels especially for
cleverly tailored daytime dresses
that observe a nicely of detail which
gives them "class" in the eyes of
discriminating women who know
their fashions. Favor for pastels
is expressed not only in silk crepes
and sheer woolens but a hue and
cry is resounding for smart linens
in delectable muted pinks and
blues, rose shades, cool-looking
green's and grays, light yellows, law
enders and novelty shades as cycla-
men, tulip shades and such. White
linens and linens au natural are
also chic.
One reason for the big splurge
that linens are making this season
is that through the wonders of mod
ern scientific processing newer lin
ems carry a promise of nom
wrinkling and non-shrinking.
At the top of the picture to the
left see the attractive spectator
sports dress of pastel blue crease
resistant imported linen. 1t has one
of the very smart umbrella-tucked
skirts. A belt braided in matching
blue, fuchsia and yellow silk floss
says color in unmistakable terms.
The boutonniere is of self-linen and
the cunning poke bonnet is of white
straw.

Play Suits Adopt
Little Girl Air

Some of the new play suits have
a little-girl air. A 1889 variation of
the popular shirt, shorts, skirt COM
bination is made of gay floral
striped cotton, and links one-piece,
puff-sleeved play suit and detach-
able skirt hemmed with frill.
Another, of ticking, is made up
of a square-necked puff sleeved
frock and shorts of the same ma
terial.
Tennis fans are choosing more
dresses than shorts for play this
year, one of New York's smartest
shops reports. The smartest are
white pique rayon or linen, designed
with brief gored or plated skirts
ending above the knee.

trasting bands of periwinkle blue
and strawberry linen are highspots
in its styling. Sunburst tucks at the
neckline, and impressed pleats in
the skirt, are also significant de-
tails. Every dress with jacket is
fashions decree this season which
accounts for matching shell pink
bolero which you carry or which
you wear according to pomp and cir
cumStanceS.
Before leaving the linen theme,
just a word in regard to the smart
looking redingotes tailored of white
or natural linen which ladies of fash
ion are wearing over their lingerie
frocks this summer. They are a
modern version of the one-time hon.
ored Linen duster."
In regard to the silk prints that
are everywhere present, and which
are in friendly rivalry to smart
linens, there is a decided flair
among women who dress in the
height of fashion for patternings
that run to neat checks, and to
plaids and stripes with nothing less
than a stampede for dotted effects
of every description. AS the mid
season approaches suits of the new
check silks will come into play in
perfect fashion.
To the left in the foreground of
the illustration fashionable miss
is wearing a smart frock for a day
under the sun in the country. The
dress is of blue silk with white
pin dots. The collar piece is white,
likewise belt and buttons.
A gay and colorful evening gown
is shown to the right. 1t is of Scotch
plaid trimmed with lace. The
white organza blouse is also
trimmed with lace. The full floor
length skirt of gay print with dainty
lingerie shirtwaist is favorite eve
ming fashion formula.

The point overlooked, he contin-
ued, is that primitive people have
had tools since Stone age days, and
carnivorous primitives have one sin
gle method of handling meat, prac-
tically everywhere in the world.
The proper primitive way was then
shown by the explorer, who has
lived for years among Eskimos, eat
ing their meat diet:
"You take good sized piece of
meat in your left hand and a knife in
the right" he explained. ''With your
front teeth you nip lightly into the
edge of the piece, just as you get a
good hold, and then you cut in front
of your lips. This piece of meat is
not likely to be larger than the one
you cut with knife and fork when
you dine politely on a sirloin."
In actual fact, Eskimos chew their
food less than almost any other peo-
pie, said Mr.. Stefansson, and their
native meat diet does not massage
their gums with coarse food. Yet
not one cavity has been found in
