Here are three young and pretty
reasons why so many smart women
who never sewed before In their lives
are making their own clothes this
spring. to get just the colors and
materials they prefer! These de-
signs prove that the simplest soft
est, most feminine styles are the
best. And that by using one Of these
diagram patterns you can make
yourself the very best of new fash
ions for street and afternoon, as we'll

these simple diagram designs. you

step sew chart, too. Look, for in

street and afternoon all through the
spring and summer. You can see how
beautifully slim at the waistline 1t is
how fiat over the diaphragm And
this lovely line is not achieved by
any difficult method. but just by
means of a few simple darts-no
tricky fitting and scanning. The
shoulders are widened by softly
gathered sleeves. The skirt flares
gracefully. The bolero is sleeveless,
brief and round-edged. Everything
about the design. in fact, is just ex-
actly right! It's the type you'll revel
in the whole year round. but just
at this time it is positively indis-
pensable. Make it of fiat crepe. silk
print. thin wool or taffeta. Trim it
with braid or grosgrain ribbon. And
rejoice in the discovery that you're
a good dressmaker. after ALL
This style is not only one of the
prettiest that ever clothed the fem

just about the easiest thing you can

General Council
Of Women Voters
Meets April 25.27

The Biennial General Council of
the National League of Women
Voters will be held April 1927
at the Washington Hotel, accord
ing to announcement by Miss Mar
guerite M. Wells, president.
The expansion program of the
league, launched at a meeting of
the National Board in November
will be the theme of the discussion
The object of the program is to
intensity league activities and
broaden membership in the interest
of more effective democracy.
To-day there are no private af-
fairs anywhere that are independent
of public affairs" Miss Wells said
There is no nation that is inde-
pendent of other nations. The
patriotism that is demanded of this
generation" she continued, "is par
ticipation in public affairs.
IF somehow women can increase
the intelligent responsibility for gov
ernment, If they can promote more
discussion of it, more thought about
it, more participation in it's not
that what is to be chiefly wished OF
the enfranchisement of women?"
The General Council also will
consider such changes in the league
program as are necessary to meet
altered conditions-most of the sug-
gested changes falling in the field
of foreign policy. The League o1
Women Voters is one of five national
women's organizations which re-
Gently distributed joint publication

Act to make it possible to apply

president and editor of the Monroe
(Mich.) Evening News, compliment
ed newspapers tonight for presenting
the Ch1ysler labor dispite clearly

Gray, former president of the In
land Daily Press Association, said in
speech prepared for broadcast that
'iL was interesting to observe how
thoroughly and clearly and fairly all
aspects Of the strike were presented
day after day and week after week
by the newspapers
The dispute lasted 54 days and
caused idleness for an estimated
10000 workers in Chrysler plants
and allied industries. Gray COM
mented on the wide and complete
coverage of statements and opinions
from all sides and of all shades.
1T is important and reassuring,
he said, ito observe also that any
free newspaper, standing on an in
dependent economic base, could
have no sane motive in such a con-
troversy except to inform it's readers

Pressure for Deliveries
Of Copper Relaxed

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Domestic
consumers of copper relaxed their
insistent pressure for immediate
supplies of the metal this week. AS
a result the price in the resale
market fell back from a high of
1915 cents pound to around 1890.
A contributory cause to the let
up in demand, metal men said, was
the desire of users to keep year-end
inventories down.
Producers and refiners, mean
while, continued to quote 121a cents
a pound. Export copper lowered
around 13 cents a pound freight
alongside ship.
In the lead market sales and out
put were in pretty close balance.
The price held firm at 5.5O-5.55
cents pound.
Zinc moved quietly at the steady
price of $50 cents pound East st.
Louis. Observers noted a substan-
tial increase in imports of foreign
zinc ore and concentrate during
October.

is one to many tens of millions, in
stead of one to a few hundreds as
is the case with the queen bee.
"The cells of the outer skin have
no other function than to be con-
verted into dead, horny plates, con-
sistently shed and as constantly re-
vived. The red blood cells close
their nuclei before being capable Of
exerting their oxygen-carrying func-
ton, so that they have life much
more limited even then that of the
worker bees.
The Analogy.
"In terms of biologically higher
and lower there is thus radical
difference between cells and human
beings. Both are biological indi-
viduals which form parts of more
complex individualities. Cells are
first order individuals. bodies are
second order ones, and human So
cieties, like bee-hives, third order
ones. But whereas the body of a
higher animal-cattlefish, insect or
bertebrate, is far more developed
than that of its constituent cells,
that of human society is far less
than that of its individual units.
This fact, while it makes the
analogy between cell and human in
dividual almost worthless, is of great
value itself as biological analogy
since it Immediately exposes the
falacy of all social theories, like those
Of Fascism and National Socialism,
which exalt the state above the in
dividual. We may believe on human
grounds that they are wrong but
biology provides a fuller and more
universal principle to justify that
belief"
