trend at present is more and more
to wasp waist silhouettes. The
fiounce that f1ourished in Civil war
times have returned.
Sometimes just one knee-deep
1ounce gives added fullness about
the hemline. Then again fiounces
are TERED one above another. The
old-fashioned way of heading the
fiounce with lace or embroidery
beading, through which colorful
beading has been run, adds to the
quaintness of present day styling.
In the lovely girlish frock to the
left the bow-knot applique done in
ribbon enhances the full skirt. The
little girl in the background has
her silk organdy dress similarly
fashioned, thus carrying out the
popular idea of sister fashions.
Frocks of this type are equally love-
ly fashioned of either white or pas
tel chiffons or silk organizes.
The little girls in the foreground
are charmingly gowned. The dirnin-
utive lace jacket worn, as shown
conferred in the picture, is enough
to delight any little girls heart.
Very prettily styled is the other
little girls dress. It is made all of
lace with fittings of self lace adorn-
ing the bodice top and outlining the
waistline.
A styling trend very noticeable in
the smartest new gowns is that of
the all-over shirred waist. The new
sheers yield to this treatment very
pleasingly. The shirring can be cas-
lily done by the home dressmaker,
by loosening the tension of ones
sewing machine and lengthening
the stitch. Then when the machine
stitching is done pull the top thread
and even shirring will result. Thin
paper placed under chiffon while
stitching keeps material fiat. It
tears away easily.

GO LITTLE MISSY and Miss
- Sweet Sixteen are dated up for
just one party after another this
summer? Hearts set all a fiutter
as to delectable gowns that will
make young moderns look pretty
as a picture? Which leads up to
the why and wherefore of the ac-
companying illustration. This group
of adorable party frocks conveys
an all-important style message in
regard to summertime party frocks,
namely that of the supremacy of
fine silken sheer fabrics in the
mode.
The weaves in the category of silk
sheers that are favored most in
clude silk organdies in white or pas
tells, marquisettes, mousseline de
soies, also either soft or starched
silk chiffons, frothy white silk tulles,
silk nets and of course the loneliness
of silk laces is not ignored. Not a
sheer in the above mentioned list
but that works like magic in ac-
centing the endearing young charms
of party-going young daughters this
season.
The outstanding characteristic of
the new sheer frocks is a quaint
ness that reminisces of Civil war
fashions. To give the ultra-feminine
look and the coy simplicity that pres
ent styling implies, designers are
indulging freely in such fetching de-
tails as founces, dainty ruffles, bow
knot or flower appliques, and the
newest gesture is the revival of
gay ribbons Supposed to change
the color of your ribbons to tune to
your moody run through yards and
yards of beading, just like in the
old-fashioned days
The majority of party frocks look
very bouffant with their wide skirts,
and the most ultra models have
nipped-in waistlines like heirloom
daguerrotypes portray, for the

also, in the oldest part of Poland's
first capital. 1t was begun a year
earlier than the Poznan research, in
1887, and shows that the Poles of
1,2OO years ago cultivated grain
fields, had domesticated cattle, or
chards and iron tools and made
wheels, textiles, leather shoes, pot
terry, money bags and buttons. There
is no trace of Viking influence, dis
proving the theory that Polish civil
hzation was imported from the west.
Both of these discoveries were
brought about through explorations
inspired by the uncovering of a town
of much greater age. This was the
finding of the Iron Age village of
Biskupin, located between Poznan
and Gdynia, the Polish seaport.
There the University of Poznan has
built bulkhead around a section

Britain Prepares for Gas and Bombs, = '--

LONDON. - Some day soon
death may rain from the Brit
ish heavens, a screaming, ex-
plosive death whose maker
will then turn tail and HE for
a hidden haven on the Euro
pean continent. 1t will be war,
an unfair conflict of helpless
men against merciless planes
and bombs. But England will
be prepared-in a measure.
In the city which first felt
aerial warfare from 1914 to
1918, last autumn's Munich crisis
gave impetus to a matter-of-fact
resignation that whatever happened,
London must be ready to take it.
During four days of frantic table
pounding in the capitals of Europe,
the folks back home made DELHI
crate, purposeful plans to evacuate
100000 persons from London in
two working days. Today, with the
lair raid precautions" program 60
ing full tilt, even more could be
evacuated. What's more important,
a lot of the folks left behind would
be safe.

the Britishers, hobby like golf or
gardening to Americans. Over week

gardens over awkward looking
mountains in their backwards, beau
trying the steel shelters to which
they may some day fee before gas
and shrapnel. You'll find them fit
ting gas masks and gas-proof uni
forms, or studying an official book of
regulations covering civilian beha-
vior In time of emergency. They're
taking the whole thing with good
humor, mostly because they can't
take it any other way. Britain must
be prepared.

where the human element enters, a
question of decision by those least

Stripes Back in
Fashion Picture

The cycle of fashions continues to
revolve and now the indicator stops
at 1915, the era of the Castle walk
and, from the sartorial standpoint,
of stripes.
But striped materials in the hands
of the modern designer have spicy
verve wholly different from those
recorded in the fashion books of al
most quarter of a century ago.
One of their paramount virtues is
that they are SHINING. However,
their chief charm is that they lend
themselves to such varied and ex-
citing adaptions.

from gypsy to Chinese modes, fash

Instead of the traditional tea rose
in undergarments, light blue is the
new color.
For women who make their own
clothes, spun rayons come to the
rescue for a two-seasons' dress.
Among recent novelties are belts
and scarfs of pliable leather with
the wearer's name written all over
them in either gold or silver metal

There's a Good Reason
You're Constipatedi

When there's something wrong
with you, the first rule is: get at
the cause. If you are constipated,
don't endure it first and cure it
afterward. Find out what's giving
you the trouble.
Chances are it's simple If you
eat the super-reflned foods most
people do: meat, white bread,
potatoes. It's likely you don't get
enough 'fbAlk." And bulk" doesn't
mean lot of food. It's a kind of
food that isn't consumed in the
body, but leaves a soft bulky
mass in the intestineS and helps
bowel movement.
If this is your trouble, you
should eat a natural bulk" pro-
ducing food-such a one as the
crunchy, toasted, ready -to-eat
cereal-Kellogg's All-Bran. ALL
Bran is the ounce of prevention
that's worth a pound of emer-
gency relief. Eat it every day,
drink plenty of water, and "Join
the Regulars" All-Bran is made
! by Kellogg's in Battle Greek.

NLRB Orders Wire
Firm to Disband
Company Union

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. (UP)-
Western Union Telegraph company
of New York was ordered today by
the National Labor Relations Board
to disestablish the association of
Western Union employees as a COL
lective bargaining agency and to
reimburse its employees for all asso-
citation dues deducted from their
pay since July S, 1885
Unofficial estimates placed the
amount of dues to be returned at
about $50O,00O The amount will be
fixed at later hearing if the
boards order is sustained in the
courts.
The company, which employs ap-
proximately $4,000 persons from
whom it received from 25 to 35 cents
a month in behalf of the associa-
ton as dues, was found by the
board to have dominated and in
terfered with the association and
to have contributed financial and
other support to it. The ruling came
on a complaint filed by the Amer
ican Communications Association.

In addition to current orders,
virtually all plants have expansion
programs either planned or under
way to take care of an anticipated
increase in the volume of orders.
The Vultee plant at DoWney,
Calf, is doubling its size TO give
employment to $500 men instead
of the 1000 now working. North
American officials said they ex-
pected employment in their plant
to jump from 1000 to 6000 as result

relations for Douglas, said that
company has a building backlog of
$50,000000, approximately S12,000,-
900 of it in the French order now
being completed, and that more
men are being added daily to the
1900 on employment rolls.
Lockheed and Curtiss also were
understood to be expanding.
An interesting phase of the cur
rent situation is an unconfirmed
report that at least some of the
heavier type bombers now await
ing delivery will be flown across
the Atlantic to their prospective
destinations rather than be shipped
by boat.
Any of the Lockheeds, Douglas
or Martins would be capable of
this performance.
Lockheed and Douglas decline to
comment on the possibility of such
action and Glenn l.. Martin at
Baltimore said he doubted if any
such plans was under considera-
ton. He pointed out that France,
in order to fly her ships across
would have to detach her most
capable and experienced fliers from
her combat forces to make the
ferry. Because of weather and 9TH
er considerations, even then there
would be no guarantee that the
ships would arrive at the fighting
front any faster than if they hac
been transported by carrier ves'
sells under convoy.

Live Steam Burns
Engineer Fatally
In Boiler Blast

DENVER, Nov. 2. UP)-Police
combed the tangled, steam filled
wreckage of the boiler room at
Denver hospital today in search of
a clue to the explosion which fatally
injured one man and burned three
others.
Lyle D. Webber, chief building
inspector, estimated the damage at
$16,500 to the new $4,000 boiler
unit recently installed He said the
explosion filled the plant with live
steam, trapping Fred Venrich, AZ,
boiler engineer, and Theodore Mil
hoan, 50, plant fireman, city en-
ployes; and Stanley Curtner, 80,
and John E. White, As electricians.
Venrich died several hours later
of severe burns on his hands, legs
and body, and scalp decorations
caused by the flying debris. Curtner
suffered a possible skull fracture.
All were burned by the live steam.
The blast ripped out six large
windows and hurled their twisted
frames 40 feet.
