this immediate moment.
The fact that fashion is in mood
to suit you as you have never been
suited before should count lot in
your planning this spring. The
thing that plays big in the glorifica
ton of the new suits is the superbly
colorful and intriguingly textured
wool fabrics that challenge design
ers to turn out a pageantry of suits
that in the matter of variety and
chic and charm outrivals all pre-
vious showings so far as we of the
present generation are concerned.
The new tweeds are captivating
especially the soft coarse meShy
kind that are so eminently patrician
in their now-so-stylish neutral oat-
meal tones. and in the smart honey
beige or in subtle grays that so
appeal to discriminating taste.
Some OF these natural toned tweeds
are fiecked with multi-color which
makes them even more alluring It's

The Dutch East Indies comprise
the larger part of the Malay archi-

Australia and southeastern Asia.
Their extent may be realized from
the fact that the distance from Sa-
bang, north Sumatra, to Merauke,

with cunningly devised jackets,
dresses with accompanying boleros

News Cabinet Has Quit Checks
Optimism of Finn Attoche Here
Col. ZiI|ioeus Trying
To Get Radio Stution
When Told Of Story
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The military attache OF the Fin
nish Legation had just been ex-
planning how Finland could hold
out against the Russians, perhaps
not indefinitely, but for long time.
Col. Per Zilliacus and some friends
were at broadcasting station wait
ing to hear the voice of their foreign
minister, Elias Erkko, from Helsinki.
Col. Zilliacus was ready to translate
the minister's speech into English.
Now we will try to get Helsinki,"
said the announcer.
There was a long silence. Col.
Zilliacus stared straight ahead. His
two children were in Finland Fires
were raging in Helsinki. The enemy
was pouring bombs on other parts
of the nation.
Come in, Helsinki," the announcer
urged.
Long, Silent Wait.
But there was no reply from the
little Baltic capital.
Another long, silent wait, then the
radio people gave in, called for
Berlin, and Berlin came in strong.
Col. Zilliacus and his friends re-
lazed, shrugged, showed q dogged
optimism.
"Helsinki is always hard to get"
the military attache remarked.
You have to relay through Berlin,
and they simply don't relay if they
choose not to-"
There was a little chatter about
the Finnish debts and how prompt
ly they pay them. Still carrying
on his goodwill mission, Col. zil-
liacus said:
You loaned us the money to buy
food Why shouldn't we be grateful
when you kept us from starving?"
Col. Zilliacus was a war hero,
fought for his lands independence
and made a great record. He is a
large, robust man, looking more like
a professor than soldier.
What about the war?' some one
asked him.
1--WE can put as many men into
the Karelian Peninsula as the Rus
slams can. 1t will hold only so
many. We can't fight them forever,
but there are many things We can
do yet ="
Just then the diplomat was handed
the latest news from Finland
"The government was renorted tn
have resigned"
All talk stopped. The Firms
headed for the teletype machine,
looked up the news bulletin.
Aleco Lilius, a reporter on the
newspaper of Foreign Minister
Erkko, cursed, slapping a newspaper
against his knee.
Col. Zilliacus stared at the printer
spelling out the story. The big man

groaned, a sound that might have
expressed either grief or disgust.
Lets get to the Legation" Mr.
Lilius prompted.
The three trudged off, grimly
silent.

Three Small Houses
DESTROYED by Fire

Three small two-story houses in
the $500 BLOCK of Blair road NV.
were gutted by fire early this aft
ernoon.
The colored families that occu-
pied the dwellings, lost all their pos
sessions. Only one resident, Fan
ME Lytle, was home at the time,
and she ran out and gave the alarm
when she saw smoke coming from
one of the houses. Firemen rescued
a small, shaggy dog, which was in
danger of suffocating. The flames
were put out after two alarms had
been turned in. The cause of the
fire and where it started had not
been determined.
