Robert Coulondre. French am
bassador to Berlin, was instructed
today to protest to the German
government against Adolf Hitler's
smashing of CZechoslovakia and to
say that the French government
did not recognize it as legitimate.
Frances first move in the
Czechoslovak situation came as
Premier Edouard Daladier, de-
manded dictatorial cabinet powers
to put France on an immediate
transportation footing as a de-
Tense against German and Italian
expansionism.
Risks Government
At the outset of debate when
Henry Kerillis, right winger OPP
posed to Daladier's foreign policy,
moved that discussion of the
emergency act be abandoned, Dali
adler risked the life of his govern
ment by asking for vote of con-
fidence, which he won. 334 to 25S.
The act would permit the coun-
Gil of ministers, composed OF the
cabinet and President Albert Le-
brun. to rule by decree on all mat
tiers of defense until Nov. 30. The
council could, without recourse to
parliament or without any public
announcements:
I. Mobilize army reserves;
2. Extend the 40-hOur work
week to any length to turn out
implements of war;
3. Rewrite pacts and al
liances with any nations;
4. Buy war mater ials
abroad;
5. COnscript all industries
needed in defense works.
Most important to Daladier was
the power to act secretly He be-
lieved that the chief advantage of
relationships over democracies was
that dictators could strike sud
denly. without warning, whereas
military activities of the democ-
racies are disclosed to the world
by parliamentary debate.
DaIadier said the circum-
stances were most grave. He
was fighting against time be-
cause on March 26, Premier
Benito Mussolini Of Italy is
expected to make his long
awaited demands on France.
Anticipating these demands,
Daladier said; In reply to certain
intrigues abroad. | declare that we
won't cede to force or ruse, either
q single one of our rights or an
inch of our territory We've made
sacrifices for peace in Europe for

 The clipping enclosed is a pretty de- pressing picture. Would not few words from your trenchant pen help to counteract the bad effect of such propaganda? (Mrs. c. L.)
 Answer-Mrs. L. incloses an essay sponsored by a pharmaceutical in- terest, on the threat of the meno- pause" and how the physician can alleviate the physical discomfort and nervous distress" the gullible sex assumes the woman entering her forties or fifties must face. Oh, well, can't fight such propaganda single-handed. But before you get too anxious about the menopause, Madam, send a stamped envelope bearing your address, for a mono- graph on tn esubject. Or if you will not do that, then know that the majority of healthy women never suffer either physical discomfort or nervous distress from this physiolo- gical cessation of a function.

Once upon a time the smock was regarded as an "arty" garment, to be worn by painters alone. But housewives, office workers, scholars and member of all the other "arts" have discovered the usefulness of this style that completely protects your dresses and does 1t with such bewitching charm. Claire Til- den has designed an unusually at tractive smock in Pattern 888. You can make it in a long or shorter length, and choose between long and short sleeves, too. The yoke and button panel down the front are cut in one easy, smooth-fitting piece especially striking if you use a strip cd fabric with each side-front on a cross grain. Add the novelly-shap- ed collar or leave the neckline young and round, as you prefer. And you'll find the pocket handy for holding odds and ends. Wouldn't ric-rac edgeing, in a hue to match the but tons, be Q bright touch?
 Pattern 888 is cut in misses and women's sizes 10. 12. IA, 10, 1e. 20, 28, 80, 32 34 36 38 and 40. Size i6 requires 3 3-8 yards 35 inch fabric.

ports as well as you can, and also the stories of child stealing. We cannot expect such things to be kept out of the papers. It is the same with radio news.
 The truth is that child picks up his fears from the books he reads as well as from stories of real life. Books may be ever so fine, but many contain tragic stories of children. So do some fairy tales. Children also absorb the gossip of their elders. If Homer has heard of blood-curd- ling story from the neighbors, it might have left terror more fixed than anything he got from reading.
 I think I should remove most of his sources of unhappiness for the time being. Let the radio alone. See that he reads nothing too startling in the papers. Watch

 The girl who wants to make her face appear much shorter and more nearly oval-shaped should
 Wear her hair flat on top, fluffed out at sides on horizontal line with her chin. If worn backward, there ought to be low-placed full ness behind ears. It's doubtful that she will find severe, up-Swept coiffure with curls atop her head at all becoming.
 Maintain a natural eyebrow line If extended, it is likely to make forehead seem broad and chin toe narrow.
 Apply rouge in a circle in the center of cheeks. It must not be brought close to the nose or far out on the sides of the face. Neither must the lower edge of it exten6 downward beyond an imaginary line from tip of nose to bottom of ear. BE NATURAL
 BUT STRIKING
 Apply lipstick in such way as to make lips as wide and full as possible without actually distorting their natural shape.
 Avoid position shapes and other very high-croWned hats. Those witf width at sides are most satisfactory
 Forget about long, dangling ear- rings. Only short, preferably but ton, types are in order.
 Choose necklines which make hel face seem shorter rather than long, CT.
 Beware of "cute" effects - bows in their hair, rows of frills, beauty patches on the chin and such.

HANDLE CHILD
 WITH MUCH CARE

There is some reason why he is so abnorma11y afraid. If you could get in touch with a child psy- chiatrist, this kindly man would probably be able to discover exactly what caused the mental scar in the first place.
 Never speak to him of his fear or try to talk him out of 1t. You cannot do that as you are not versed in the ways of the mind. Be happy yourself and see that Homer has plenty of chances to laugh. Keep him busy at a hobby or several hobbies. Let him model or do carpenter work or collect bugs. Something that will cut under his breeding, and be his first waking thought.
 He must not be shamed about his fear. That is disastrous. And do not try to force him to be brave. Yours sincerely,

THE GREAT AMERICAN GAME

THE GREAT AMERICAN GAME
 Playing ball is in deed a great game, every branch or modification of it, for the players. It develops skill, speed, judgment, agility, con- sideration or respect for rules of fair play-if you play the game yourself
 There is 8 widespread popular notion, exploited by those who profit from it, that an afternoon devoted to the pasttime of roofing is ideal rec reation for all red-blooded Ameri- cans. You know, it takes you out into the open air and away from the grind or boredom or anxiety of your job or business for few care- free hours: it is a show that never failfs to divert and entertain.
 If you do honest work, that is, physical labor, work or play with your muscles for your living or as matter of habit and sanity, then it is wholesome and fitting to enjoy few hours of relaxation, muscular relaxation, at the ball game if you find 1t interesting to watch men earn their wages.
 That's a typical American trait, too-watching men work. Men or machines, it makes little difference. People enjoy watching 'em work, en- joy it so much they are willing to pay for the privilege, if necessary. That is why professional ball games have more spectators than amateur games; the watchers rather resent participation by player who plays for the fun of 1t.
 I'm not condemning baseball as g game. I'm not condemning 1t as a sport. I heartily recommend 1t as a game for men, women or older chil- dren-formal baseball, one two or three-old-cat, fungo, indoor base ball, softball, whatever one enjoys most. know of no better relaxation or entertainment for honest working people than an afternoon in the bleachers or in the grandstand or an evening at the ballpark. By honest working people mean thcse who do honest work, muscular or physi- cal work, for living or even as pastime.
 It is bad for the health and bad for the mental or nervous balance of the professional man or woman, the business executive, the clerical work CT or any one who lives by his wits or who does little or no honest work, to waste his or her leisure time or holiday attending ball game. Such an individual sorely needs 8 little muscular work of one kind or an- other to keep him or her well bal anced. It would be fine for him or her to spend the leisure hours bat ting out flies for the boys, playing catch or maybe game of three-old- cat in the vacant lot down the street. Such let-down eases tension, gives an outlet to pent-up emotion (emo- tion, remember, is impulse or desire for action, and the action of play is good substitute for that of fight or fiight), prevents high blood psessure, lessens wear and tear
 Baseball is a grand game for those who play it.
 My advice to Americans who don't play the game is, select a game you like and play it by way of diversion or recreation. Or if you do not care to play game, then have hobby or an avocation that requires mus cular or physical work, if your occu- patton is sedentary one and you {, live by your wits.
