CAN IT BE DONE?

Military experts suggest that
the time has come for diplomacy
to work relief. Search as we
will, we cannot find a solitary
soldier who can tell how France
or England can break into Ger
many. An attack on the sea coast
would be extremely hazardous
and might cost Britain half her
navy and still fail.
The skirmishing along the
western front so far means little.
The nearer the collapse of Po-
land. the more desperate the
plight of France and England to
show that they have the winning
hand. With Italy on their side,
they would have an opening into
Germany. The Bremen pass
does not furnish an especially
happy access to Germany but it
is better than using half a mil
lion to a million men blowing a
hole through the 40-mile Sieg-
fried line.

Very practical and business-like,
this design in women's sizes is ideal
for housework and daytime wear.
The buttoned front makes it easy
to get into and simplifies laundry
problems. Simple as it is, this dress
has excellent lines. The bodice is
gathered at shoulders and waistline
to give comfortable fit over bust.
The skirt is cut to high, unbelted
waistline. in way that you'll like
for two reasons-it makes the dress
easy to work in, with no tightness
to catch you up short when you
reach and stretch. Also it has a
decidedly sienderizing effect. The
V-neck is finished with a narrow
collar, to make it more becoming.
You'll thoroughly enjoy having
