She wants to break off the en-

think our friendship has been

ring, she will give everything
back. She'll go out with me

Babies Born

Sometimes babies are born
with a nervous tension that
seems to keep their muscles al.
ways tight. Sometimes their
bodies are so rigid that If you
pick them up by the head and
the heels they seem like piece
Of wood.
This is rather rare, Of course.
When it does happen, you can
often see how that nervousness
has been inherited from the
parents.

Waste Money
On Clothes

American women waste more
money on clothes than any
other thing" Miss Franklin said.
They buy seasonable and high
fashion clothes that quickly go
out of style. For the same
amount Of money they could get
good clothes that would bring
out their own individuality and
not mark them as sheep who
follow every fashion dictate"
Clothes that will pc gwen to
the maid as "out Of style" after
a few months wear are rank
extravagances, Miss Franklin
believes. Select a dress that
brings out your personality and
does things to your coloring,
and" she said, "it will last
longer than one season. In
fact, 1t will last until 1t is worn
out, and still be a favored
dress"

Washington, May 5.-(AP)- The
Senate Military Committee approved
today bill to permit the govern
ment to draft capital in event of war
The measure, proposed by Senator
Lee, Democrat, Oklahoma, would call
for wealth census" in the event of
any defense emergency in which the

interest. The amount to be bought
would be fixed on a graduated scale
similar to that used for the income
tax.
A person with net wealth Of $1,000
to $4,000 for instance, would be re-
quired to spend five percent of his
wealth on the bonds. The percentage
would increase to rs percent of net
wealth in excess of $1O0, 100000.
The committee action was taken
without dissent, Lee said.
The Oklahoma senator declared:
''This measure does not call for a
confiscation of wealth, but for a
forced loan."

London, May 5.-(AP)-The Brit

tee today approved note to Soviet
Russia saying Moscows proposals
for a broad British French Russian
guarantee of the Baltic and Black
Sea states was ''sound in theory, but
not practical at the present time"
Meanwhile, the British government
fully endorsed Polish Foreign Min
lister Beck's offer to negotiate with
Germany on a basis of peaceful in
tentiOns and methods, while Prime
Minister Chamberlain told the House
of Commons he hoped for success in
British-Russian security talks.
In quarters close to the govern
ment, the view was expressed that
Beck, in his address to the Polish
Parliament, had defined Britain's as
we'll as Poland's position that the
DanZig problem can be settled peace
fully If Germany genuinely desires
to negotiate on basis of equality.
His firmness, on the other hand, in
refusing "one-sided concessions" al
so was considered to reflect the views
Of Britain and France, both of whom
have promised to help Poland resist
any threat to her independence.
Beck's speech was regarded in both
government and diplomatic quarters
as firm but conciliatory, and design
ed to show an unprovocative attitude
on Poland's part.
An informed government source
described it as "calm and soundly
argued" This source said it had the
full approval of the British govern
ment. The foreign office, however,
said it had not received an advance
copy.

Minister'S Speech at

Berlin, May 5. = (AP)-Reich-
fuehrer Hitler called his foreign
minister and Nazi leaders of Danzig
into conference this afternoon at his
Bavarian mountain retreat to weigh
the address of Polish Foreign Minis
ter Colonel Beck.
The men summoned for the talks
were Joachim Won Ribbentrop, his
foreign minister, who arrived at the
retreat on his way for a conference
in Italy; Albert Forster, Nazi dis
trict leader in Danzig, and Arthur
Greiser, a Nazi leader and Danzig
Senate president.
A slight indication of the German
attitude toward Beck's speech came
in descriptive phrases Incorporated
in the BIND (official German news
agency account of the address. 1t
asserted "Beck put the reason for de-
clining the German proposals (con-
cerning German-Polish issues, includ
ing Danzig and the Polish corridor)

sentation of the speech. After the
conference with Hitler, Won Ribben-
trop was to 60 to Lake Camo, for
talks with Italian Foreign Minister
Count Ciano. Won Ribbentrop did not
arrive at the Bavarian retreat in time
to listen to Beck's speech at Hitler's
side, but was able to tune in on the
broadcast from Warsaw in his hotel.
In Berlin, officials in the foreign
office and the propaganda ministry
also listened eagerly to Beclx's words
and had them translated quickly by
experts.
