Color Is Making
Decided Splurge
Spring Fashions Brighter
Thdn for Years
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Color, color, color! It is a call to
the colors that is being sounded far
and wide in fashions domain. And
the enthusiasm with which the
whole world of fashion is responding
makes certain that there will be the
biggest color splurge this spring
that we have seen for years.
1t doesn't matter how you arrive
at your color schemes just so you
arrive, You can mix them, con-
trast them, add startling dash Of
color to black or to white You can
use several shade of the same col
or, and by the way this using many
tones of the same basic color is the
newest thing out.
Match the color of your veil to the
color of your gloves for a high-style
gesture. You can tune your foot
wear, your bag, your boutonniere,
your hat and your ''hankie" and
your gloves to the three or so colors
that pattern your new plaid or stripe
wool jacket. And here's to smile
match your lipstick color to your
boutonniere. Yes, We'll agree fash
ion certainly is "going some" this
season.
Heather pink is the called-for col
or in hats, bags, gloves, jackets
and blouses. Tulip colors in Access
series are also outstanding. Paris
raves about yellows and wheat
shades and mimosa and amber
tones. These colors are very popu-
lar right now for southern resort
wear. The citrus colors are excel
lent, especially lime. The "first"
hats to wear with dark furs are
breathing the breath of spring in
cool fresh-looking chartreuse. Violet
colors flourish in the new modes.
Navy for your new suit is chic
for spring and for your daytime
frock mustard shades are true
swank. The combination color woods
so smart for contrast-jacket suits
are alive with gorgeous hues and
the greater part of the spring style
parade will be made up of colorful
wool suits and costume ensembles.

(black, brown or navy and never buy
anything unless it harmonises with
your chosen color. To be smart YOU
must dress conservatively but express
your individuality in your accessories,
Wear an unusual brooch or necklace
gay flowers in your suit lapel-per-
haps tuck pink hanky in black suit
pocket-or put smart monogram on
your handbag. But don't overdo it!
And here's some grand psychology if
you'd like to wear your clothes with
an air" Don't you always get a
thrill when you wear a new dress for
the first time? Of course you do!
Well, each time you get dressed, Just
pretend that everything you are put
ting on is new; recapture the mood of
the tlrst time you wore the costume
and you'll find it gives you a Gift
even if the darn dress is three seasons
old!

Big HANDBAGS Are
Smart for Spring

Big handbags will continue to be
fashionable all next spring and two
of the newest models are by Mar
jorie Dunton. One is a daytime bag
of black calfskin with a heavy
leather chain handle, stitched in
white. White calfskin makes the
inside of the bag, between the
two outside covers.
Another is one of those limp bags
so much in vogue, made of black
antelope with bracelet handle en-
broidered in gold and a dangling
pearl ornament in blue and vivid
pink.

Nv dear Elisabeth:
My problem is not an unusual one.
It deals primarily with child who
refuses to eat vegetables. The family
physician has ordered more greens on
the daily menu but home fashioned
cooking doesn't work Have you any
ideas about dressing up" vegetables
which might help?
Sincerely,
Mrs. E. NJ. S.
My dear Mrs. E. M. S.:
Thank you so much for your letter.
Don't we all have a food-fusser at
home? I do have a recipe for spinach
which as one individual commented
makes spinach taste less like spinach
than any broccoli l ever tasted"
So here's the directions for spinach
au gratin (the most popular) cream of
spinach soup and spinach timbales. If
YOU would like to get cabbage into the
diet, too, try it au gratin also. Cook it
for ten minutes in boiling sailed water
and then proceed according to direc-
tions l will give for the spinach.
Here's hoping Junior will succumb.
Sincerely,
ELISABETH.
P.S. You might try little applied
psychology (applied where it's most
etfectiye) E.

Happy Feet

If your feet are not happy you can
not be happy. This is quite true. Just
let your feet hurt you and you will
find your face will take on distressed

with this magic lotion. Three table
spoons of rose water, twenty drops of
glycerine and ten drops of benzoin.

9O,OOO Homes Planned For National Demand
In Areas Eligible for FILA Mortgage Instrance-One'
 Third of Number Now Under Construction

Washington, D. C., Sept. 6.-More than 90,000 new homes in subdivi- sion areas eligible for federal hous- ing administration mortgage insur- ance were planned during the first half of 1889 by operative builders to meet the national demand for moderately priced homes, Seward H, Mott, director of the FHA's land planning division, said today.
 More than a third of these proj- ects are already under construction, MT. Mott said, clearly indicating the current market for housing through out the country. This program of new subdivision development takes into account only those areas which have been analysed by the FILA land planning staff in the last six months and found eligible as sites for in- sured home mortgage financing.
 This estimate is conservative, to say the least" MT. Mott said. "The potential number of new single-fam- fly homes in new protected neigh borhoods, even after allowing 30 per cent for lots which will not be util- ized when a neighborhood is fully built up is over 93,8o0. Since only subdivisions lying in the path of residential growth and considered ripe for development are accepted for analysis by the FHA's land planning division, this number may be considered fairly accurate in- dication of the demand for new homes generated during the first six months of 1889. To this figure

 The most important indication of an Italian boom was seen in the rise on the Rome Stock Exchange Fat stock, for example, closed at 462 lire yesterday, compared with the preceding days 472 and Satur- days S6S.
 Italian shipping with the United States and South America will be resumed this week. The Rex sails for the United States from Genoa Friday, the Augustus for Buenos Aires within 8 few days. The fares will be increased, because, 1t was said, of high war risk insurance rates.
 Beginning today, the curfew on night life, which went into the ef- feet last week and closed cafes, cinemas, theaters, and the opera at II p. n1,, will not go into effect until midnight. Dance halls remain closed, however.
 Anti-air raid drills have been dis continued and blackouts which had been enforced nightly, have ceased.

FRANCE CLAIMS
 SOME ADVANCES
Where Attacks Were Made Kept Secret; Air Sirens
 Sound Again
RALPH E. HEINZEN TTuited Press Staff COrresnOndent)

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Paris, September 6. - (UP) - French advances against German troops, presumably on the Western Front, were announced in French war communique number five at l0:45 a. m. today (5:45 a. rn., EDT). Its publication coincided with new air raid alarm which tempor- arily closed down communications and sent Parisians scurrying to un- derground shelters.
 It was announced officially that the alarm was due to a fleet of German planes crossing the from tier at 10 a. m. 6 a. rn,, EDT) ap- parently on flight to photograph French troop concentrations. After crossing the frontier the planes swung in a wide arc toward Paris, to be met by French chaser planes which pursued them back across the frontier.
 Air Raid Sirens
 Air raid sirens sounded at l0:45 a. m. and although the all clear sig nal did not shriek until 35 minutes later no hostile planes were seen and there were no bombs It was the second alarm since midnight.
 The war ministry communique continued to cloak operations in deep secrecy.
 several localized advances oc- cured yesterday evening and over night" the communique said.
 The anti-aircraft defense began filling the skies with shrapnel bursts five minutes before the sirens sounded for the second alarm.
 No Planes Appeared
 The sky was clear and visibility was perfect. Firing of the guns before the sirens sounded caused many to believe that the Germans had made a surprise raid and had broken through the defenses. But no planes appeared. Except for the rush for shelter there was no undue excitement.

must be added vacant lots remaining in subdivisions previously qualified and acceptable locations in eStab- lished neighborhoods.
 "This volume of new subdivision construction represents the amount which the building industry consid- CTS needed to cope with the current demand for new homes.
 Through a nationwide land plan- ming staff the FILA has analysed l,220 now subdivisions since January 1 1899. MT. Mott said that the in crease in the number of subdivisions analysed in the first six months of 1889 showed a gain of l63 per cent over the last six months of 1888. A tendency among developers to Sub- init their areas to the FILA for ap- proval prior to the start of construc- ton has become increasingly appar- ent, he said.
 After approximately four years of work in the field of land planning and subdivision analysis" MT. Mott added, "the FILA has caught up, to a great extent, in the work of re- habilitating existing areas which were falling into obsolescence be- cause of poor original planning. For Q long time, we centralized our ac- tivity in this task, and today the work has shown marked results.
 we are now devoting careful study to new developments which are constantly submitted to us for analysis, and builders throughout the country are showing an increas- ing confidence in FILA standards and suggestions as to plot planning and neighborhood control, As our work is basic in the effort to pro- vide better homes and better neigh borhood conditions, 1t is becoming more and more evident that sub developers consider our standards economically sound and contributory to salable and lasting

continued, motorists have not been accustomed to slowing down as they approached school zones or school crossings because the children have been on vacation and there was no need for it. That" he stated, lis the foundation of the apprehension that We have for the safety Of the school children in passing to and from school. The motorists are out of the habit Of seeing them in the usual places.
 Continuing, the Commissioner urged motor vehicle operators 10 ex- erecise extreme care in operation through school zones and in the neighborhood of school crossings.
 "The children have not had their safety lessons during the vacation season." he explained, and many of them, especially the younger tots, may have forgotten that which was taught them last term. Watch for them everywhere, darting from be- tween parked cars, crossing in the middle of the block, roller skating near the curb, or even in the road, and keep an eye out for bicyclistS" {, the commissioner admoniShed.
 The student patrols will probably not be working for several days, it was explained, as the various de- tails necessary to start the term may tie up the teachers time so as to delay that activity. Consequent ly, the police will lack the splendid assistance rendered by this Legion Of Safety for a short time. Motorists should be doubly careful until the student patrolmen are at their posts.
 Laudng the efforts of the student patrol, Commissioner Connor said: Their function is to instruct, di- rect and control members of the student body in crossing streets at or near schools. That they are doing a splendid job is evidenced by the consistent reduction in child pe- destrian accidents which Connecti- cut has recorded for the past several years. The student patrolmen are at their posts to protect the children of their school Motorists should obey their signals and afford them the respect to which they are en- titled. They are not officers of the law. of course, and only in rare in- sttnccs do they direct traffic. Their usual duty is to assist the traffic officer in his work. In any event,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-06

each motorist should do what he can to help them.
 In final rejoinder, the com- missioner appealed to every motor vehicle operator of the state to take it easy' near schools, and pointed out that state law requires that when a motorist approaches a school bus picking up or discharg- ing passengers he must reduce his speed and proceed with caution past the school bus. "All school busses are plainly marked" 1t was stated, "and there Is no reason for any motorist failing to observe the law.
 In conclusion he warned, Watch out for the youngster who is late. In his anxiety to reach school before the bell rings, or the school bus be- fore it leaves, he may rush pell- mell into the path of traffic with dire consequences'

 Many observers believed that Italy may come forward with a new pro- posal for solution of the war. She has not abandoned those claims and aspirations which would have been discussed along with the Danzig- Corridor dispute if Premier Benito Mussolni's conciliaton proposal had been accepted.
 Although 1t was hardly expected that Il Duce personally would inter- vene with new peace plan, usually well-informed quarters suggested that Italian diplomacy would keep @ close watch on the war situation, stepping forward when the time is opportune for Q general settlement based on revision of the Versailles treaty.
