RIGID ARMY RULE

A1bSs
RIGID ARMY RULE
Premier Negrin's cabinet gavt
evidence of its continued presenc,
in Barcelona by issuing, over tn
signature of General Sarabia,
manifesto, setting forth the term!
of the rigid martial law promul
gated yesterday.
All government territory II
Catalonia was placed under mill
tary rule by the decree. A state
of war" was declared in effect
and constitutional rights and guar
antees, set forth in five articles
of the Spanish constitution, were
declared suspended. =.
A military code OF justice vii
begin to operate throughout Cata
lonia in "a hours, the decree
stated. Civil authorities will con
tinue their normal municipal func
tions, but will deal with questions
of public order only when such
powers have been delegated by
the military authorities.
MAIL SERVICE LIMITED
The order limited mail service
In government territory for dura'
ton of the crisis. From today
onward. the post office will
handle onlv the most important
communications within Spain or
to or from abroad. .,
Post office savings banks will
remain open. Packages to or
from foreign countries valued at
more than 1000 pesetas will be
delivered.
While Francois forces moved re-
lentlessly forward, Barcelona pro
ceeded resolutely with its task OF
transformation into an armed
camp.
Military trucks and ambulances
rumbled through the streets. The
wailing of sirens and changing OF
ambulance gongs We'd in the din
with incessant explosions from
falling shells and aerial bombs.
FREE FROM PANIC
Despite the utmost gravity OF
the situation, Barcelona remained
free from panic, although the
people made no attempt to hide
their anxiety. Guards remained
at their posts before government
buildings and policemen con
tinued to direct traffic in tbs
streets.
The mass exodus of civilians
prevented by age or the state ol
their health from participating
in the construction of "last ditch
defenses continued unabated. The
evacuation was slow, however, ai
Barcelona's tramways ceased to
operate.
NO TALK OF SURRENDER
All other public services func'
toned as normally as possible
Electricity. gas, water and tele'
phone facilities we're still avail
able and newspapers appeared at
regular edition times but in con-
densed form. One displayed the
banner headline:
Barcelona is in danger. We
must resist with tooth and nail"
The challenge was taken up by
countless thousands of men and
women who poured out Of BARGE
Iona toward the battlefront to aid
In defending the city.
Americans Ordered Out
With a state Of martial law
already declared in Barcelona and
drastic measures in force to de-
fend the city, 30-odd American
residents of the war-wracked Cata-
lonian province were ordered to
prepare for immediate evacuation.

Pin your faith to Jabot Dress like this :. if it's slimlined charm you're after! Claire Tilden is so clever at slenderizlng curves, while keeping her patterns sufficiently simple for beginners to enjoy. We suggest that you send at once for Pattern 764, and make a summer frock as well as spring dress with It's aid. The soft fluff of fabric in the bodice makes the bustline look higher and more youthful. And this jabot is very easy to manage be- cause it's cut in one with the yoke fronts. Other things you should consider are:-the figure-narroW- ing center panel, and the soft ful- ness under the yokes at front and again at back. Then you may choose between two flattering sleeves-and between a narrow self belt that entirely circles the waist or goes only part wayl
 Pattern 764 is cut in women's sig es 36, 38, 40, AZ, A, 46, 48 and 50. Size 36 requires 3 1-2 yards 39 inch fabric.

GIOrifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan Writer


 Your new spring cosmetics. like your new spring coiffure, ought to be selected because they are truly fiattering to you.
 For instance, although pastel makeup is the beauty news of the moment, it just isn't particularly becoming to one whose complexion is very dark. If there are distinct olive tones in your skin, you may be sure that palest pink rouge and only slightly darker pink lipstick will not be as fiattering to you as they are to a light-complexioned person. You should pick rouge and lipstick and powder that will drama tize your own natural coloring.
 If you are @ fragile Looking blonde with very light skin, it's not likely that deep wine-red lipstick will do much for you. A light, clear red probably will be better. And, of course, the new pastel shades will be lovely.
 If you wear colors other than black, white, navy blue and gray, which do not make your skin tones appear to be other than they are, special makeup may be needed for each costume. Your skin may be quite pinkish. but when you are wearing yellow dress, 1t may seem to have yellowish rather than rosy undertones. Hence, makeup, espe- cially powder, which accentuates the apparent, if untrue tones, may be in order.
 Regardless of your natural color ing, a bit of experimenting is in order, anyway. Go to your favorite order, anyway. Go to your favorite cosmetic counter and ask to be al- lowed to try samples of various shades of new makeup. If you can not decide then and there, perhaps you will be allowed to take few samples home. This may seem like a lot of trouble, but certainly it's no more bothersome than knowing that the last box of powder you bought is all wrong.
 P. s. If you can have one lip- stick and one only, better not choose vivid purple. This shade will be lovely with certain dresses and on days when you feel particularly well. But purple won't go with everything and it won't be fun to wear when you are feeling low.

women who indulge excessively in tobacco or alcohol or most frequent ly in both, were asked in a lucid interval:
 Why do you smoke?
 Why do you drink?
 Less than half of them replied at all. Now it may be normal for about 20 per cent of any group to decline to answer a questionnaire under similar circumstances, simply from laziness or indifference or forget fitness. In this instance probably a childish attempt to conceal an in- feriority complex accounts for the fact that so many refused to answer.
 Once woman of remarkable as- surance consulted me about her health. Perhaps I was pretty young, but there was. In the routine his- tory taking asked her age and and whether married - the woman snapped that her private affairs were her concern and all she wanted from me was prescription-and with the dignity of man of half my temper I bowed the dame out of the consulting room with the ex- planation that in that case there was nothing could do for her. Some time later I realized my mistake. I said I was pretty young at the time. Ought to be law-or, no, believe the top-heavy laws regu- lating practice now take care of that-a man must be along in years today before he can begin practice. But I should have been more patient with the poor woman. It was a mo- license community and the patient, travelling with carnival troupe, had run out of liquor.
 No doubt few heavy smokers or drinkers in the first stage of their degeneration would decline to tell you why they smoke and drink if you asked them while they are un- der the influence of alcohol. On the other hand, you could not take seriously their ratiocination while they are in that state. But when the narcotic effect wears off and the higher consciousness is no long, CT in abeyance, the sense or feeling of inferiority returns and the drinker prefers to say nothing about his weakness.
 One young man whose drinking had lost him fine job explained that "at times I drank to excess because I felt the need of stimu- lant or rather just wanted to feel better" The young man said as much in one sentence as I can say in chapters about the use of tobac- co, alcohol or drugs. The desire to feel better; the desire for some thing which will increase vital ac- tivity. I sincerely believe that if everybody could satisfy that natural desire in a natural way few indi- viduals would suffer from addiction to tobacco, alcohol or drugs.

STATE

One of the swellest casts ever assembled for one glorious enter tertainment treat entertained capa- city audiences attending Warner Brothers State theater yesterday during the screening of the laff and love hit Midnight" which head lines the top twin show to be seen and enjoyed at this popular theater until closing performances on Mon- day evening.
 Headed by Claudette Colbert and Doa Ameche, the stars of the pro- duction, it includues John Barry more, Francis Lederer, Mary Astor, Elaine Barrie, Hedda Hopper and Rex O'Malley, thus more than jus tifying the current saying Mid night Brings Out the Stars.
 The film is laugh riot from start to finish. It opens with a desperate Paris businessman hiring a daring American girl to steal his wife's boy friend in order to restore domestic happiness to his home. Events are complicated, however, by the girls romance with a hot-head- CO tdAA-0liFCiy WilO dCoCll lllulCo O break up the hoax and rescue his lady love. The whole affair winds up as hilarious house party during which the difficulties of all con- cerned are considerably ironed out by the ingenious Yankee gold-dig- ger, played by Miss Colbert. Inci- dentally this performance has been hailed as Miss Colbert's best since her brilliant characterization in the unforgettable Tt Happened One Night.
 All in all here is a picture that will have you laughing long and loud. If you're looking for screen fun, don't fail to see Midnight" at the State before Monday even ing.
 Humphrey Bogart in You Can't Get Away With Murder" is the second exciting hit of the program. The film is based on a story by Warden E. Lawes and features Billy Halop, leader of the Dead End" kids, and Gale Page.
 "Fast and funny" is the descrip- tion of Cafe Society" with Made leine Carroll, Fred MacMurray and Shirley Ross coming to the State on Tuesday.

STRAND

Attractions concluding their en- agreements this evening at Warner Brothers Strand theater include: 'aThe Little Princess" in technicolor starring Shirley Temple; also MT. Mot0 in Danger Island" with Peter Lorre in the leading role.
 Thrilling adventure and comedy, written as only Mark Twain could write of them, mark Mickey Rooney,s first solo starring vehicle "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" opening a four-day engage ment at the Strand tomorrow as the headliner of the fine twin feature bill.
 Mickey is seen as Huck Finn and fin the opinion of critics his char acterization is so brilliant that 1t seems as though he has stepped from the pages of the book.
 His attempts to aid runaway slave to freedom; his adventures with the "King" and the Duke" a pair of comical swindlers: the Negros sacrifice of his own freedom to save the boys life; and the mad dash by the steamer down river to save the slave from mob of lynch-

POLl'S

Samuel Goldwyn's "Wutherinp Heights" based on the unforgettable love story of the Emily Bronte novel of the same name, was given gala premiere at the Loew Poli Theater yesterday and won the laundering plaudits of 8 capacity audience.

Laurence Olivier plays the role Of Heathcliff, breeding, melan- choly figure in love with Cathy, with remarkable strength and poig- nant fervor. David Niven, as Edgar Linton, turns in @ portrait of unus- ual fidelity and conviction, and Flora Robson, known as England's nIH Ha actn nt fg fectly cast as Cathy's nurse.
 Too much praise cannot be given to the beautiful production, for "Wuthering Heights" is one of the screens greatest contributions since picture-making came of age.

The candid camera is one of the
latest RACES of modern life. 1t is
so sensitive that almost anywhere
it is able to snap you in action and
give you a true picture of yourself.
In Matthew 4:23 we have a can
did picture of the ministry of
Jesus In this passage we read:
"And Jesus went about all Galilee.
teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the Gospel of the King
dom, and healing all manner of
sickness and all manner Of disease
among the people"
In these few words is summed up
the vivid and lasting impression
that the ministry of Jesus made
upon the observing disciples. They
caught the keynote of His preach
ing which they heard over and over
again. It was "the Kingdom of
God"
Should we made a study of the
passages that speak of the preach
ing of Jesus we will find that every
one of them summarizes His
preaching by the phrase, "the King
dom of God"
