British Troops Join
French in Action
On Western Front
DuIadier Confers With
Gen. GomeIin on Progress!

BY the Associated Press.
PARIS, Sept. 13.-British troops
were reported in French military
dispatches this afternoon to have
entered action with the French
against the Germans on the western
front for the first time in the 1899
European war.
French advices said great num-
Der of well-equipped British troops
are participating in combat" This
news was displayed prominently by
Paris evening newspapers.
Creation of a Polish army in
France was under way with recruit
ing Offices opened throughout the
country to receive Polish volunteers.
Daladier Checks Operations.
Premier Daladier conferred with
Gen. Maurice Gamelin, commander
in chief of the British and French
Armies in the west, on the general
progress of operations.
Marshal Henri Petain, Ambas-
sador to Burgos, whom M. Daladier
consulted several times on the
formation of a war cabinet, left yes
terday for the Spanish capital, ap-
parently to close his mission as the
first French Ambassador to Nation
alist Spain.
Political circles expected the mar
shall to return to Paris by Saturday
to take place in the Daladier min
istry. Marshal Petain led the de-
fense of Verdun during the World
War.
Political circles also concluded
that announcement of the makeup
of a new government was imminent
as M. Daladier this morning con-
ferred with Raymond Patenotre,
minister of national economy and
production; Marc Rucart, minister
of public health, and Fernand Gen
tin, minister of commerce.
French Troops Advance.
French infantrymen were reported
in dispatches reaching Paris as con-
tinuing to edge forward in German
territory toward the Siegfried line
at several points along a 100-mile
front between the Rhine and Mo-
selle Rivers.

Bidd|e Reports Nazis
Bombed Open Village
Where Envoy Fled
PopuIoee 'Terrorized
In DefenseIess Area,
DipIomot Charges
By GARNET w. HORNER.

Thte defenseless open village
where the American Ambassador to
Poland has fled was attacked today
by German planes which dropped
bombs 300 yards from the temporary
embassy and "terroriZed" the popu-
lation. Ambassador Anthony j.
Drexel Biddle reported to the State
Department.
In a previous message from Mr..
Biddle, which the State Depart
ment also made public today, the
Ambassador reported his opinion
that although the Germans osten-
sibly were appearing to follow the
principle of limiting air bonn
bardments to military objectives,
they are taking advantage of every
opportunity without regard to the
danger to the civilian population
which may be involved"
"It is also evident" Mr.. Biddle
reported, that the German bombers
are releasing the bombs they carry
even when they are in doubt as to
the identity of their objectives."
The two messages from Mr.. Biddle
one dated September 8 and another
received this morning, were re-
leased by the State Department
without comment except a state
ment that they appeared to give ar
impartial picture of the character o1
German aerial warfare in Poland.
The brief message received today
came from the Polish towri where
the Embassy was locate after Polish
government officials and foreign dip.
lomats fed Warsaw as the Germans
closed in there. The State Depart
ment did not make public the name
of the town.
Biddle's Message.
This latest message from Mr.
Biddle said:
This place, a defenseless oper
village, was bombed at II am. today
by flight of four German planes
which dropped at least II bombs, not
only on outskirts, but also along
HALL SCIccG OOU ydIUS lIOIIl tIllS ELL
bassy and Within even closer prox-
unity of other missions, as well as
the foreign Office, now located here
Verified casualties include II
killed, 40 seriously injured and many
business properties. Population ter
rorized by suddenness and unexpect-
edness of raid"
A paraphrase of Mr.. Biddle's mes
sage of September 8, as released by
the State Department., follows:
aerial bombardments by German
aviation definitely include industrial
establishments which are engaged
in war production (the lombard
ment of which endangers surround
ing communities), railroads (the
bombardment of which frequently
endangers hospital and refugee
trains), bridges and the general pub
lie crossing them, and population!

Demand for Steel
Will Call $4,000
Back 10 Jobs
VirtuoIIy No War Material
Included in Sudden
Rush of Orders
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 13-A visit
to Offices of the leading steel pro-
ducers here today showed executives
almost dizzy with the sudden rush of
domestic orders which many pre-
dicted would result in calling back
to the mills Of as many as l25, 900
workers before Thanksgiving.
A steady stream of kilograms from
branch Offices and virtually every
commodity from coat hangers to 10
comotives poured in, telephones JAM
gled. boys trotted in an out with
memoranda.
Consumers" explained perspir-
ing official, '''are putting on the same
panicky rush housewives did last
week for sugar and flour. If it con-
tinues and we believe it will, the
industry will boost its output to IS
or 80 per cent of capacity within 80
or so days.
That will mean as many as 125 900
additional workers will be needed
and full time for those now work.
ing"
Now Employing 455,000.
His figure was taken from the
fact that mills operating at around
e3 per cent last week were en-
ploying 455, 900 workers, with a
monthly pay roll of $50, 900, 900. Two
years ago, with production averag-
ing between 80 and 80 per cent, the
industry's pay roll was $80,000,O00
for $4,000 workers.
This spokesman and representa-
tives of two other producers joined
in saying they were having to limit
tonnage to a basis comparable to
past performances. Customers who
have been buying 1000 tons quar-
ter and now are demanding 5000
tons for the next quarter, are hav-
ing to slash their orders.
All agreed that the price angle
had significant bearing, since
those directing policies of steel con-
sumers were recalling the pinch of
the last World War.
Prices for fourth-quarter deliv-
cry have not yet been announced
and most firms are taking orders
for a specified amount at existing
quotations and the remainder at
the existing price when delivery is
made.
Decide to Stock Up.
But there are angles other than
price involved" one man explained
For a decade our customers have
been buying on hand-to-mouth
basis. With the sudden possibility
that demands for steel would tie
up this source, the consumers have
decided to stock up a bit"
All executives stated there virtual
ly was no war materials involved
in the pickup and that only a
few inquiries had been made by
foreigners for any class of goods.
One estimated the Government had
placed less than $4,000, 900 for steel.
Manwhile, closely related indus
tries began to feel the effects. The
Pennsylvania Railroad ordered back
1000 workers. reopened some of its
machine shops. Baltimore & Ohio
called back almost 1000. Steel scrap
prices jumped 81 a ton yesterday
to $18, record for the year.

Nv LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

There are much more attractive
sounding names for this lovely lily
than dogs tooth, but once name
is given to a flower it is lard to
have it changed.
In the genus Erythronium there
are 9 or 10 species known on the
pacific Coast, and this one is con-
sidered the most lovely lily of them
all. The one growing in the Alpine
meadows of the oregon and WASH
ington mountains is called "ava-
1anche lily; in Oregon. lambs
tongue; in Utah. Easter bell"
In the East it is also called trout
lilv," but among all the names
"dog's-tooth violet" is most often
heard.
In looking at the flower the in
clination is to search for the re-
semblance to the dogs tooth. 1t
seems that in Europe there is
species to which the famous Lin
naeus gave the name Erythronlum
denscanis. The first part of the
name. Is from the Greek for red,
which was and is the color OF the
flower in that species. Denscanis, OF
course, is dogs tooth. 1t is not the
flower that resembles the dogs tooth
but the long, white bulb, and that is
the true story. Then we trace the
reason for the misnomer violet and
find that in the ancient days the
word violet was not confined to
the botanical genus viola but en-
braced MANY plants, especially those
with fragrance.
So we 60 on calling lily a vio-
let. We have a first cousin to this
Western one that we call yellow
adders tongue, which gives you an
idea as to it's color, and if you in
spect the leaves they do resemble
the skin of the reptile. But why not
: call it by the name that Bur
roughs suggested, faWn or trout lily?
The flowers unfold at the time the
trout come up the stream and the
little faWn lies hidden in the brush.
The flowers are terminal and nod
with the breeze. At night they close
and protect the pollen needed Tor
the insect. callers. Anyway, it is the
habit of lilies to close their petals
at twilight.
The perianth is composed of six
slender, recurved divisions. They are
yellow, and the underside is pur-
plish with yellow white. There are
six stamens, one pistil, one style
which is club shaped. There are two
leaves to each stem. They are OBJ
long and pointed and notified so
that they resemble the adder's skin,
The stem rises from CORN, and
by the CORN the lily extends itself.

ers in spring Az; its bright green
leaves in the summer.
There is a lovely white flower
that is quite common in the West
as far as Minnesota that is known
as the white adder's tongue. Its
yellow throat is for the sole pur-
pose of guiding its insect guests
to the banquet hall where nectar
in abundance is served. Many little
insects may be found visiting the
lily. Peep into the doorway and see

has passed and the CORN has been

Gloufing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service staff Writer

Shades of rose, some clear like wild roses on a messy bank and others softly dusty, are important on the color chart of new spring makeup. The latter tones are nice with colors with which you might have worn rusty shades heretofore.
 With browns, soft, dusty rose rouge and lipstick and harmoniz- ing nail lacquer can't be beaten. With the new greens, as well as with black and navy, clearer, pinky pinks are bound to impart that gentlewoman look so im- portant in season of feminine, frilly, pretty dresses.
 Try orchid make up with black to give your skin translucent appearance. Or experiment. with the new and exciting absolutely clear, sharp red that one manu- facturer of cosmetics is headlin- ing. There's not a hint of bur- gundy or wine in it. Aid it does for the brunetes what wild rose pink rouge and lipstick do for one whose complexion is light. In other words, gives her a fragile lady look.
 Your finger nails won't be wine red or violet scarlet this spring. You'll stick to lighter, feminine shades which harmonize more pleasingly with schoolgirl silhou- cites and frothy, lingerie touches at throat and wrists.
 You'll clean your face and put on fresh makeup oftener. And you'll clean and re-powder your neck every time you do your face. If your throat isn't as white and clear as your face, you'll get bleaching cream and use it conscientiously.
 You'll wear your hair in tiny, soft, very short curls all over your head. Or ill demure ,chig- non at the back of your neck. If you haven't enough hair of your own to make chignon, you may buy one and pin it on sometimes.
