London-Winston Churchill, in a
great speech at the London Opera
House last night, which is accepted
by the British public as the 1lnal
word from the English Government
regarding possible compromise with
Germany, made it emphatically clear
that there will be absolutely no such
compromise or even possibility OF
it with Germany. The English people
are today accepting Churchill's de-
clarations as indicating not the
slightest chance Of an early termina-
ton of the war.

TODAyS HOROSCOPE

.Todays is a rather abrupt but in
tensely genuine nature. There may
be a lack of suavity and the mind
may be severely critical, but there
is an element of sincerity which
commands the respect OF all. There
is much love of country life, and
the native may be better there than
confined between city walls.

In Need

Dear Miss Grey: don't like to
impose through your column bu,
we have 80 desperately tried to get
help for my is year old niece that
| am now coming to you.
Briefly, she is motherlcss. and
her father (my hrother) married
again. He and his second wife
have kicked and beaten the child
and the step-mother finally threw
her out OF their California home.
Ny father brought her back to my
mother twho adopted her as a
child and now my mother won't
take her because all her affee-
tions have centered on an eight
ycar old granddaughter whom she
adores. So that leaves this 16
year old with no place to 60 ms !
cannot afford TO take her and have
no single cot or bedding even for
her TO sleep on.
The courts here declare she will
have to 20 back to her father as
he is her legal guardian now that
her grandmother has surrendered
her papers. I shudder to think of
her going back for they even had
her sleeping IN chicken coop.
They have impressed upon the
child 30 long that she was dumb
that she has no confidence in her.
self, yet a physical and mental
examination have given an o. X.
rating SO far AS her health and
mentality are concerned.
What I want TO know is this.
! wonder II some kind family with
patience win take her in and give
her 4 home. She will need guild
ance at first, for as say, she has
been robbed of the idea that she
can do anything. She has no shoes
and no clothes. Her shoes are
size and her clothes Is.
Anything you can do, Miss
Grey, will be much appreciated.
The welfare can't assist us be-
cause the courts have dccreed that
she go back to her father and step
mother. Her father is my own
brother but ! can't bear to think
OF sending this child back to him.

For couple of hours Ransome

troubled by fits of returning con-
seriousness, he dreamed wildly, even
struggling in his heavy sleep like
a man in delirium. One part of
his mind kept dragging at him,
crying out, Wake up, There is
i work to do, People are depend
ing ON you" Another kept pull
ing him backward into the pit of
oblivion, where he had been i'm

the major the door was open and
light shone out from it. Thinking
he would say good night to his
/ friend, he thrust his head in the
door; but once the major had seen
him he would not let him go.
He said, "Sit down and talk to
me for a moment"
So Ransome sat down, and the
first thing the major asked was,

He clapped hand on Ransome's

He went on talking, q little

AS long as you have 10 work
you might as well make up your
mind that you will have to put
up with certain nerve wracking
matters. You should be able to
stop the boys from embarrassing

keep their hands off you, but I
doubt very much If you can stop
the other girls from addressing
you by your last name and /
also doubt II you can do much
in the way Of stopping the men
from swearing. The only thing
you can do is to act like a lady
yourself and never express your
Indignation about matters that
will only make you unpopular

WHY don't women like to look
" like housewives? Go market
ing some day in a small town and
you'll understand.
House frocks under street coats
in winter, house frocks without
benefit of coats in summer, eyelet
dresses and sheer dresses with pink
slips showing through, washed-out
washable silks, printed chiffons in
the morning-no wonder smart
women don't want to be labeled
housewives.
OF course there's a reason for
those light colored cotton dresses
under the dark coats.
Launders Easily
House dresses are made of cot
ton because it launders easily.
When you're cook, nurse
maid, and laundress In one,
you get hit mussed up and
washable clothes are essential.
Housewives are the day and
night laborers of the feminine
world.
Oh, don't mistake us. We know
you chose this calling and consider
the smart world well lost for love.
But why not be picturesque
about your labOrs; dress as
man does for n strenuous job
or as woman does for Cruel
Ing sport:
Why not stress your eccentricity
that chose life of toil-just at
the beginning, of course, while
your husbands getting a start
with clothes designed for toll?
That's smart in more ways than
one because smartness in the fash
