at all times the Truth. The question
is, are they? In our country there has
been a concerted effort to put through
an Anti-Lynching Bill. This bill will
not only affect our group, but all
groups where lynching has been pre-
valent but because we will be the one
most benefited it has been killed each
time. | would venture to say that every
Congressman and Senator that voted
or filibustered against that bill con-
slders himself a Christian; possibly
attends or belongs to some church His
contribution Is never questioned and
his championing of the downtrodden
is a virtue of which he is proud, but,
he certainly is proving that he believes
IN Christianity only and up to the
point that it affects people he is in
terested in. But Christianity calls for
BROTHERHOOD OF MEN. If the
pastors of these so called Christians
preached the word and upheld the
Truth, the Constitution, the Bill of
Rights and thhe passing Of an Anti
lynch Bill would be upheld and an
actual fact today in so far as we are
concerned. Your questions brings upI
many points that at this time will have
to be continued at another time. How
ever, I will close by saying the day
that people wake up to the peace and
contentment that abides in prayer and
the living up to the letter of Christi
anity, misery, broken homes and I'M
happiness becomes just phrases that
one has read or heard about. How
true those words, eve have eyes, yet
we see not; we have ears yet we hear
not"

Season of Luxury
In Fabrics Seen

All signs point to a season Of
luxury especially in matter of fabric
elegance. The tendency is toward
dignifed trends rather than the
much-exploited little grip fashions
that have been centering the stage
during past months.
Suits of stiff faille, rich brocades
for evening wear, imposing jewelry
accents emphasizing wide brace
lets, necklaces that have a broad
collarlike spread and massive gold
effects in belts, and in clips all in
dictate return to elegance.
The play being made on fur bor-
behring's that is being lavished on
coat, suit and frock, the revival Of
old-fashioned passementrie, the
elaborate hand-embroidery and
countless such trends are reminis-
cent of the Victorian age of pomp
and glory. The fact of sleek fitted
dresses with in many instances the
long sleeve, the quaint back-fullness
treatments that modernize hustle eff
fects, fitted basques, laced-in cor
sets all portend the trend to greater
dignity in fashions.

IF THERE is one theme more than
another about which fashion in
terest centers this fall, that theme
is the outstanding importance of
fine, choice fabric. In assembling
the autumn wardrobe the thought
to keep uppermost in mind is that
for the most part the style struc-
ture for the coming months is being
built around the idea of handsome
material made up with a studied
simplicity that achieves classic lines
which lead to well-balanced silhou-
cites bespeaking a new dignity in
the mode.
The new wool weaves are adding
a particularly exciting chapter to
the current story of fabric elegance.
In laying the foundation for the ear
ly fall wardrobe the idea of hand
some wool styled to nicely with
emphasis on dramatic simplicity, is
making widespread appeal,
What to offset the amazing sim
plicity of the dress or suit of swank
wool? The answer is gold jewelry ac-
cents. Which is one of the startling
items of news in the new seasons
trends. There is a "gold rush. on
in fashions realm. Black with gold
is especially message that is being
flashed throughout the style centers
of the world.
Black wool jersey, particularly
smart indication for early fall, is
used for the fashion-right semi
tailored dress conferred to right
above in the illustration. Note, with
the bracelet-length sleeves the I'M
usually wide gold bracelet. This
matter of the wider bracelet is in
accordance with fashions latest de-
cree.
To further dramatic this modish
daytime frock of black wool jersey
there are gold clips that highspot
the lapel. Flattering too, are the
circle earrings.

Black Is Rule in
Autumn Fashions
Predict Splurge of Color Later
in Season.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Black still remains outstanding
fashion news. But watch for a
splurge of color later on. A royal
battle it will be between black YER
sus color. 1t is quite surprising,
however, with what tenacity black
for the daytime dress holds on. Not
only does Paris declare that big
percentage Of the early fall dresses
will be chic black, but those who
keep tally on American style doings
declare that the call is insistent
for daytime frocks of alluring black
weaves, placing definite emphasis
on the striking simplicity of their
styling with back fullness interpret
ed in versatile hustle effects.
AS to featured black weaves their
name is legion. Suits of faille silk
or bengaline are the talk O. town
among the smart set. Mentioning a
few of the foremost weaves in black
for fall, there's black silk, rayon
or wool jersey. The rage for jer-
sey is sweeping the fashion field.
Then there's "black magic in such
interesting sheers as cable net
which looks sheer but is about as
sturdy a material as one can find.
Black chiffon too still is good style
so wearable under lightweight
messy crepes matelasses, satin and
satin-striped triple sheers and list
which might be continued indefi-
nitely.

Dear Friend:

able to get about and do for myself
without a great deal Of assistance. Nv
granddaughter has offered to write this
letter for me as don't write very well
and do hope You will find space to
answer a question or two. Every dav
see misery, broken homes, unhappi-
ness, why? | believe that folks have
forgotten how to pray. [ believe in
PRAYER and for the past years, all nv
prayers have always been answered.
Have folks forgotten their God? Every

ana then someone starts talking about
1Sms. 1t seems to me that folks have
more time for everything and everyone
but God. What do you think? VIII.
De looking for an answer soon.
MOTHER GRAY from Louisiana,
DEAR MOTHER GRAY: First,
may | thank you for your letter and
soy .h1l fundamentally feel that
mankind has pushed God and prayer
IN the background and has and is
accepting anything else. Mankind is
Wiling to try anything once. People
VINO believe IN prayer have never had
10 try prayer but once, wherein. those
VINO speculate with isms and theories
md them lacking one wav ~. oro+l,o,,
Tine precedent that religion should
have IN the world today has given place
10 man made governments and man
made laws. It isn't what the Prince
OF Peace would have us do but what a
ruler or dictator wishes. It isn't the
brotherhood of men that He desires
among us but what narrow-minded
t-intiated officials or statesmen

waist, breaks into pleats below the
hips. The high round neck practi-
cally demands a necklace and a
suitable one as here shown is of
gold links with gold knobs. The
wide link gold bracelet looks well
with the necklace and a cunning
gold clip climaxes this jewelry en-
semble. The plaid hat crowns the
entire with glory.
Gold jewelry as a smart accent
to colorful tweeds has also become
a hobby with fashion. To the left
in the picture see a deep bright
green tweed suit with a new collar
treatment and stitched detail down
the front of the jacket. The skirt
is widely gored. Take particular
notice of the gold and green tour
maline daisy pin with a diamond
center worn on the jacket. The
bracelets are of the new large gold
link type. Gold stitched suede de-
scribes the hat.
A few notes in general in regard
to the new wool weaves follow. The
trend to smoother versions of the
velvety duvetyn order is apparent.
There are also many ribboned wool
ems. While black woolens are hav-
ing a widespread initial call, there
is also a big movement going on
among richly colorful tweeds and
other wool weaves gorgeously toned
in new shades of blue green and
flower reds with rust tones greatly
in favor for sports and travel wear.

this model. Sewn seam detail alter

be in contrasting shade or matching

A PARKING PROBLEM

Juneau has grown beyond the village stage and
is beginning be confronted with many OF the prob
lens which though unique in Alaska, confound city
governments all over the Nation today.
walk downtown any late afternoon between
four and five O'Clock will bring of the most urgent
and potentially dangerous of these problems forciby
to the attention. Automobiles standing two deep
along the curb Franklin and Front streets make
passage difficult even for drivers who willing to
take their time and be careful. If fire engine had
to get through the hurry accident almost
certainly would result.
The City which provided three free parking lots
some time ago an effort to get automobiles off the
downtown streets is going to have to do something
else about it.
Licenses have been issued by the City Clerk for
1872 automobiles already this year. A number Of
others will be on the streets after July when half
year license will be available In addition there
many owned by residents of the Glacier
Highway which are driven into Juneau every day In
Juneaus streets and small downtown district
this makes for serious congestion.
The parking lots, all handy to the downtown dis
trct and all available for free not being used
No other city we have ever heard about is accom-
modating to motorists Elsewhere it would cost the
driver substantial toll in private parking lot TO
leave his automobile downtown Here where it is free
almost no one takes advantage of the privilege.
Juneau's streets are too narrow. They were never
meant to take of the heavy automobile traffic
which rolls over them today Certainly they were
laid out with the thought in mind that they
would be used for parking on both sides two cars
deep when the rush is
1t is too late to move the buildings back and
widen the streets The thing that will have to be
done is to restrict parking possibly prohibit it al
together on certain streets This would not work a
hardship on anyone, Juneau is small enough that
its downtown district be travelled afoot.
If something is not done, and done promptly,
about this traffic problem, driver pedestrian
is going pay with his life for the privilege of using
the streets in their present overcrowded condition

How to Fight European Fascism
philadelphia Record

philadelphia Record
Former Governor Philip La Toilette, of Wisconsin
returns from Europe with recommendations on
Americas place in world affairs that avoid hystera
and over-simpfcation.
He does not agree with the extreme isolationsts
that what happens in Europe is no affair of ours
Nor does he agree with the interventonists that we
should bring military or economic pressure upon
Europe to Save democracy" there
La Toilette believes the rise and continuation OF
Fascsm is very much affair in that we are partly
responsible for it. He says:
The tramp of millions Of unemployed in Britain,
France and America is a grave danger TO democracy
at home as it is perhaps the most effective propaganda
against democracy within both Germany and Italy
AS long as we fail to solve our No domestic
problem of unemployment Hitler and Mussolini can
continue to shout that democracy doesn't work. And
they can shout it in terms the plain man OF all coun-
tries understands very we'll that freedom without the
opportunity to work is not freedom at all
The German and Italian people probably do not
like either dictatorship bloody conquest But they
like even less widespread unemployment
AS La Toilette points out, we could greatly
strengthen the anti-dictatoral forces within Germany
and Italy if we could solve own domestic prob
lens AS long as fail. long do strengthen
the hands of the dicaors for both internal repression
and foreign conquest.
Just as we must not forget the anti-dictatorial
forces in Germany and Italy, we must also remem-
Der the ant-democratic forces in Britain and France
La Toilette says
critical situation in Europe today it is due to large
extent the policies of powerful forces in Britain and
France
In our apprehensions about NaziSm must not
strengthen the foes of democracy in Britain and
France injure its friends in Germany and Italy
Above all we must ally ourselves with reactonary
forces which in another will scuttle democracy
here and abroad"
And La Toilette does not disguise the fact that
he considers Mr. Chamberlain representative of re-
dictionary forces, whether Mr. Chamberlain, at any
given moment, is pursuing policy of "appeasement
or a policy of ''encrclement."
But what of those who would have us do every
thing short of war to stop Hitler?
The answer is supplied by Senator Borah:
4 am one of those who refuse to believe that we
can apply economic sanctions without becoming in
volved in war. In fact, such action is war"
Amid the filters and the loose thinking, natural
enough in times such these La Toilette and Borah
bring two eounsels of steady common sense
The best way TO fight Fascism is to prove-at
home-that democracy works
The other way fight Fascism is to go to with
t-and thus almost certainly destroy de-
mocracy.
