the models shown in Jacket suits
or Jacket dresses tell the reason.
Soft wooden Jackets with wide
checks or mixture colors are

verify and youthful well-dressed-
ness.
The skirts to these dresses are
mostly with the side pleats having
definitely tailored appearance,
and range from Is to IL inches
from the floor. Skirts are getting

half and full flare silhouette which
is gaining in prominence, but
these are only in the young group
and will probably stay there.
The Jackets are Victorian
shouldered tapered to the wrist.
Some have the full button down
front; others are biased with silk
gros-grain facings using the one
button at the hip; still others
use the coat effect, bloused and
full throughout.
The materials of which these
bits of Springiness are made
range from the rabbit woods, rough
woods and tweeds to basket-weave
heavy crepes and DUPONT Acetate
silks (spun rayon).
One Of the most attractive of
these is a navy blue with white
Swiss dots of ribbon effect spun
rayon. The collar is a short bit
of crisp Wilderness in grosgrain.

Intensified Boycott
Of Germany Urged
By Jewish Congress
Former Berlin Rabbi
Blomes England for
HitIer's Rise

Following a mass meeting at
which an intensified boycott of Ger
man goods was urged and the
United States Government COM
mended for refusing to recognize
the legality of the seizure Of Czecho-
Slovakia, the Washington branch
OF the American Jewish Congress
today pushed its drive here for new
members to aid in the defense OF
oppressed Jewish people.
The mass meeting, held last night
IN the Jewish Community Center,
was attended by several hundred
persons representing Jewish organ
izations of the city. The principal
speaker was DR.. Joachim Prinz Of
New York, formerly rabbi in Ber-
lin, who described Hitler as the
greatest enemy of the Jewish people
in history.
Great Britain Is Blamed.
Il do not believe he will ever be
overthrown from Within" Rabbi
Prinz said. "He has become too
powerful and it is Great Britain
who is to be blamed for making
him the most successful political
leader in the world"
DR.. Prinz, who was thrown into
q Nazi concentration camp for de-
Tending his people, said Hitler is
sincerely anti-Semitic. He warned
that Jewish people must prepare
themselves to face something more
than dormant anti-Semitism, which
has existed for centuries.
ITO combat anti-Semitism," the
speaker continued, I'VE must ally
ourselves with all democratic forces
in the world. Nazi-ism is an attempt
to substitute a political philosophy
for religion and the fate of Chris
tianity as well as Judaism is tied up
In this great struggle"
Called Napoleon Before Moscow.
DR.. Prinz described Hitler as "the
Napoleon of Europe, before Moscow"
and, he added, Il hope, after Mos
cow"
In one of two resolutions adopted
at the meeting, Jewish and nom
Jewish organizations in Washington
were asked to boycott German
goods. Another resolution, in which
the United States Government was
commended, condemned the dis
memberment of Czecho- -Slovakia as
an "act of savagery and paganism."
Lawrence Koenigsberger, chair
man Of the American Jewish Con-
gress membership campaign, ap-
pealed for 100 per cent enrolment
Of all Jews here. Membership head
quarters have been opened at the
Jewish Community Center.

He noticed a housekeeping COL

gun and marched In.

PLAYING INTENSELY

An ever changing panorama is
America at play. The role Of fashion
is nowhere revealed more clearly than
in the changing ~recreational activities
of the masses.
While the opportunities for play of
other generations seem decidedly limi-
ted in comparison with Those of today
mo generation of America was ever
too busy or too puritanical to play. And
in fair weather or foul we will always
be a play loving people.
Examine our play history. Barr
batting, dog fighting TO cock fighting,
to boxing, to prizefighting. Whist to
auction, to contract. From the horse
to the bicycle, to the. al tomobile and
back to the horse again. Baseball and
football and golf have have had an
evolution all their own. Tennis has
been with us a long time.
The main difference between re-
creation in the United States and re-
creation in other countri IS in the null
tiplicitg of games, sports, amusements
and diversions widely available to all
classes of Americans. More than any
other people We like variety and novel

FAMILY CASH

Forty-one per cent of the wealth Of
the United States is in the hands of
women, financial statisticians estimate.
This includes real estate, stocks, bonds
and cash in bank.
theoretically, then, SO per cent of the
wealth is owned by men. Theoretical
ly is used advisedly, for if pay checks
issued to husbands and bank accounts
in their names were credited to the
wives who really control them, the per-
centages would be reversed.

ton than the figures INDICATE, discon-

GARDEN ~PROVENDER

This is the season of the year when
the home gardner is living like a king,
if his efforts turned out even fairly
successful. There is nothing that can
compare to fresh garden vegetables,
transferred from the soil to the table
in an hour or two. Beside these CASTRO
nd mic delights the most complicated
connections of w~orld-famous chefs in
the great hostelries must take second
place.
There is something lacking in a veg
etable that has been plucked one or
more days before it reposes en- the dim
ing table. Refrigeration cannot a v
its fresh V and for all the differ
ence it might as we'll have been canned
twelvemonths ago.
But what can rival peas, adishes on
ions, corn on the cob, lettuce, beans,
tomatoes and a dozen other garden del
icacies placed before an expectant fam
lily in less time than it would take to
cart the commercial article home? Here
is where the home gardeners revel in
the keen satisfaction of a job well done.
A mar who can provide food like this
for his own table, with his own hands,
is not wholly dependent upon a pater-
nalistic Government for his future. In
him fingers the spirit of the pioneer
American, who was sufficient unto
himself and would have helped to cut
down any cunning politician who Of
fered him security at the price of his
liberty.
