German Press Joins
In Concerted Attack
On PoIand's Stand
Donzie's Nozi Leader
Reported in SoIzburg
To Confer With Hitler
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN, Aug. "a new German
newspaper attack on Poland flared
today as arrangements apparently
were completed for 4 meeting be-
tween Adolf Hitler and the Nazi
leader Of the Free City of Danzig.
The Danzig leader, Albert Forster,
was reported to have landed last
night at Salzburg Airport, only a
few miles from Hitler's Berchtes-
gaden chalet.
Ofncials, however, refused to say
whether Forster-who frequently
has declared that Hitler must de-
termine the moment when Germany
will move into Danzig-had seen his
Fuehrer.
Attacks Unusually Bitter.
The Berlin press blasts at Poland
were unusually bitter and the unan-
unity and enthusiasm with which
all the papers sailed into the subject
limited at concerted action. The
editorials followed the lead of the
German ofhcial news agency, DNB.
which, in q commentary criticiZing
the Polish newspaper Gas, attrib-
uted to it a threat that Polish ar
tillery would demolish Danzig ii
the Free City attempted to reunite
with Germany.
(Czas, commenting on declara-
tions Sunday by Polish Marshal
Edward Smigly-Rydz of the i'm
portance Of Danzig to Poland's
economic life, said: THE guns of
the Polish Army are facing Dan
zig should authorities of the Free
City not abandon in time the
dangerous road they are follow
ing on orders from the outside.)
DNB said Gas openly threatens
q malicious attack and brutal bonn
bardment by which Danzig could be
laid in ruins. But Polish loud
mouths must be told that they can
not ruthlessly provoke Germany in
this manner"
Papers Back Up Warning.
Following up DNB's warning.
headlines were spread across every
Berlin front page this morning.
Hitler's Voelkischer Beobachter
said, "Czas and the men who stand
behind 1t are impatient to hear the
cannon boom.
They forget completely that
other cannon may boom, too, and
that Poland is by no means in a
position to challenge and to make
the unpleasant acquaintance OF
vastly superior forces Of arms. ''.'
Voelkischer Beobachter's COM
ment was captioned High point OF
Polish shamelessness. Lon
don and Partisan agitation bears its
fruit-unbearahle challenge"

Young Democrats
Await Hatch Bill
Ruling by Murphy
Unofficial Statement
On Delegates Denies
Employees Standing

A formal ruling by Attorney Cen
eral Murphy on the extent to which
Federal employees may participate
in the Young Democrats National
Convention in Pittsburgh was
awaited at the Department of JUS
tice today.
The Attorney General was ex-
pected to rule yesterday, but his
statement failed to materialize. An
unofficial ruling by the civil liberties
unit of the department. forwarded
60 Pitt Tyson Maner, president of
the Young Democrats, held that
the Hatch law would not permit
Federal workers to take part in the
convention as delegates. They are,
under this opinion, free to attend
its sessions, however.
Election of delegates to the con-
vention of the Virginia Young Dem
ocrat Clubs at Roanoke on August
"a, 25 and 26 was deferred by the
Arlington County Young Demo-
cratic Club last night until Attor-
ney General Murphy has cleared
the status of United States workers
J. Maynard Magruder, chairman
of the Legislative Committee, called
the Arlington clubs attention to
the situation and recommended
that the election of State conven-
ton delegates be postponed until a
written opinion is obtained.
The language of the Hatch bill
appears to be very elastic and it
may be that the new act would
permit Federal employees to serve as
delegates to State conventions" he
said
Mr.. Magruder and James Cor
man, Washington attorney who
resides in Arlington, were appoint
ed members of a committee to take
up the question with the Attorney
General.

Boleros will make you look as
though yousar growing out of your
clothes.
Wear tunics and jigger coats and
three-quarter length capes.
Wear odd jackets of different
color from your skirt.
Wear contrasting belts and sashes.
2. Wear your waistline as low as
possible.
This can be done with narrow
belts worn at the natural waist
line or with fitted things nipped
just above the hips.
Link button suits can be adapted
in this way, too, with excellent
effect.
3. Wear your skirt quite short.
This cuts down the legged,
short wasted effect of this figure.
Do not be self conscious about
showing quite bit of ankle.
Darker stockings will take away
that leggy look.
And don't worry about calling at
tention to your feet. Well get to
them in moment.
4. Wear a plain bodice and a cut
up skirt.
This also helps to rearrange your
proportions.
The only detail permissible on
your bodice is row of buttons or a
ruff1e or some other vertical detail
ending at the low Waistline.
This will help to make the waist
look longer.
Below the waist, however, you
should cut up the length with a
hip-length jacket or a tunic or a
peplum or pockets or panniers or
some other detail to distract the eye
from the longitude.
And you should break the line of
the skirts silhouette by flaring it
from the knees.
5. Stress the horizontal.
Avoid vertical stripes, long or
sWagger lines, especially tuXedos
buttons, borders or any detail pa.
rading all the way down from neck
to hem.
But stress the horizontal. dis
creetly, of course, so as to make the
most of your slenderness.
Wear padded shoulders, bellec
skirts possibly banded at the hem
setting of what will appear by con-
trast an incredibly small waist.
6. Stick to low, wide hats.
Obviously, small caps make this
figure look pin-headed.
Do not confine yourself to picture
hats, but if you wear a turban II
should not be a close turban.
Your millinery always must be in
perfect proportion to your height.
With an ordinary sailor you can
| save yourself an inch.

to her, and If you have one iota
Of decency in your system you will
pay it.
Nothing you could give your wife
would repay her for the heart-break
and humiliation you have inflicted
upon her by Haunting your mistress
in her face. and the least you can
do is to give her the little money
she asks so that she can go away
and live by herself.
You don't want divorce because
you don't want to have to marry
your lady love and because Of the
contempt that the public feels for a
middle man who forsakes his
faithful old wife and the mother OF
his children. You don't want to

YOU threw your old wife out to starve

but she says nothing, works hard
and sheds no tears over me. She
wants a divorce and since she can
get no alimony in this State she

With a turned-down brim you

The first difficulty can be over

But to prevent low heels from

Cover your long wrists with great

Your long hands need at least one
great, breath-taking ring.
Wear great clusters of flowers.
Don't be afraid of overriding it.
The bigger your accessories, the
more they dwarf your height.
3. Wear sumptuous furs.
Your long neck needs big collars
of long haired fur.
Your shoulders need broadening
with double-skin scarfs of red or
silver fox.
You are the one type who can

vulgar.
But don't wear your furs tuxedo

A Feminine
Makeup
Is Vital
Delicacy of Touch
And Soft ColOrs
Much in Favor
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

According to all the early indi-
cations women are going in for being
definitely feminine this year of
1889! Fashions, manners, smakeup
| and, it seems, even desire are being
revolutionized.
Bathing suits with puffy sleeves
and bloomers, sunbonnets to duck
Old Soils rays, soft color combina-
tions such as pink and green (to
remind you of apple blossoms and
romanceD, delicate tones of make
up and very fossy afternoon dresses
are the harbingers of an ultrafem-
mine era.
A pale golden tan or no tan at all
is the decree. Modesty is drama
tized in longer shorts. new bathing
suits, sleeves in evening gowns and
a veering away from the mannish
tailoring of suits and slacks, dainty
blouses instead of halters. And as
the South goes in winter so the
North goes the following summer |!
The up" in hair is still The
vogue whether the debs and SUBJ
debs ignore it or not. But the
masters of the coiffure are helping
us out with new style more cas-
lily managed during hot weather.
which consists of short, adaptable
curls all over the head to be brushed
up and f1uffed out bit. No long
bobs, no curls thick at the nape of
the neck.
Many of the lighter fuchsia and
cyclamen shades are being carried
over from last season, and they are
combined with new and lush color
ings. Cyclamen with aquamarine
magenta pink with green, clear
lime with medium fuchsia, soft
pinks and odd blues with fuchSias
and pink and green. The new ar
rivals are, as you might guess. the
lime greens and brown yellows. Cop
per and tobacco tones of brown
seem to be the dark horses not vet
exploited. If you are one who SIM
ply cannot do without navy blue
for spring, have it. providing you
combine it with the new geranium
red. But the softer pinks, with q
tinge of purple, will be far more
fashionable.
The cyclamen or fuchsia makeup
will do for early spring. They are
carry-overs But as summer beck
ons I fear you will desire more Of
the true blush tones in rouge anc
lipstick or the favored vivid shades
such as geranium and true scarlet
to contrast with your light summer
tan and very light clothes.
More than ever a sun protective
cream is essential to keep your skir
an even tone of a light hue I.
you are living in the South, or plar
to 60 South, you will need one. Ane
If you do not know the name of {
reliable sun cream write me. I shall
give you the name of a newcomer
an old standby, and also tell you how
to mix your own according to 6
simple recipe given me by Iren'
Dunno in Hollywood, which is mos
efflcacious. Do inclose a self-ad
dressed, stamped (3-cent) envelope
with your request or I cannot sent
you an answer.
