Resurrecting Styles

This is where most of us came in. Fash ions change with the wind and every so often they catch up with themselves. If the gal friends costume looks a little familiar to you, don't worry about it. It was meant to- Even streamlining can be carried just so far So women's fashions are back where they were 25, 50, 75 years ago, with just a dab of 1889 here and there so they, won't look too much like Great-Aunt Prissys wedding gown.
 All the fashions that father, grand father and late lamented ancestors knew are draped on mannikins this season. There are the wasp-waists, bustles, wim- ples, snoods, crimolines - and to com- plete the effect, even coiffures look like Portrait of Lady-1878" that has long since been slowed away among the fam ilys exiled art treasures. It's all little breath-taking-and ightful-after the fashions of the middle POS which even the women now concede were slightly mad. If grandma doesn't mind the thefts from a Golden Age, certainly her 1889 progeny isn't going to kick up fuss.

Killer vs Cures

Militarists work overtime to invent more efficient methods of bringing death to the greatest number of people while scien- lists search for new ways to preserve hu- man life. It's tuSsle to see who comes out on top.
 Within only few days humanitarian scientists have announced several new de- velopments. A new treatment for malig- nant endocarditis, which once took 98 out of every 100 victims, is being tried with some success. A synthetic male hormone has been developed to save effeminate young men from the tragedies of frustrated life. A new metal, vital Hum, was used to replace part of a mans skull, scraped off in an accident. The com paratively new science of eugenics has ad- vanced another step with the announce ment of a synthetic, fatherless birth of a rabbit.
 Perhaps that has always been the essence of civilization-an eternal race between humanitarians and nihilists with the former having just enough of an edge to keep the world going.

Republican Failure

A political contribution of $1,OOO from A Republican National Committeeman indicates more than local interest in the recent city election. and shows up some of the forces at work to attain a COP victory. One saw no such amount nor outside contribution on the Democratic side. Money was no substitute for sound issues or good candidates, however.
 The rank and file of Democrats matched their opponents dollar for dollar and then some in the aggregate, not nec- essarily to attain political victory, but ln loyalty to cause. There was no national issue in the local campaign and out side money should not be introduced in such amounts in the attempt to influence local people on questions of local self government Just another Republican tumble, but in spite of it there is still a deficit overhanging the present Republi- can leadership locally. Who is holding the bag?
 If we recall correctly there was lot of discussion about deficits and overeX- pended budgets in the Republican ora tory. Here is their chance to wrestle with one of their own making.

Back To Nature

Nature is beginning to shed her cocoon of billboards; and motorists, idling along highways on Sunday afternoon may soon get chance to see the countryside again. In six states, billboard advertis- ing along highways has already been con- trolled, and 20 other states are seriously considering steps to return field and stream to the automobile drivers who have paid $30,000, ,000, ,000 for their high ways. An enticing girl is all right in her place, but most auto travellers feel her place is not on billboard alongside the road obstructing the view of willow trees in winter or fields of rhododendron in season.
 But it isn't the scenery alone that's being restored. Property values have frequently fallen off when billboards made their appearance, the National Association of Real Estate Boards reports. The real estate men figured out that they'd still be ahead if they paid the outdoor advertising firms a sum equiva- lent to the annual revenue from billboard advertising. At any rate, motorists are getting back the scenery they thought was part of the bargain when they paid for the roads.

Did Anybody Win?

News of the settlement of the Chrysler strike is pleasing to the public, but prompts the question, "Why can we not avoid these things?" Two months work and wages are lost forever; thousands Of families are set back in family income and comfort; the country is the poorer by over 19O,O0O less automobiles; stockholders have lost income on their investment which, in turn, is loss of purchasing power to all of us; auto dealers and their employees have suffered; and over $25,- OOO,OOO of work, wages, property, earning, spending power, property are gone with out recovery.
 When it is all settled, probably to save someone's face, by an increase of few cents on hour in wages and it will take years for the increase to equal the lost wages Without asking the issues or at- tempting to decide the merits of the case on either side or blaming anyone the pub- lie can well ask, Did anyone win any thing?" and "Why can't reasonable peo- pie agree in such cases and avoid loss to us all?"

Organizing Silly Societies

It's painful to think of what might hap pen to this country if Americans ever took themselves seriously. Inhabitants of the United States have the almost unique capacity of being able to laugh at them selves instead of looking around for some- one to get sore at.
 The American habit of organizing silly societies may look little lunatic to some people, but it is one way of avoiding the jitters at time when hysteria may set in at the drop of an insult. Take the re- gently incorporated Crouch Club of Amer ica, for example, This society wants specifically to provide an organized out let for the grouches of all human be- ings" and to "survey and analyze exas- perating national grouches and .. to alleviate them"
 Silly? Maybe not half as ridiculous as certain other organizations whose tac- tics are confined to working themselves into a mental father over deplorable con- ditions and events-and then doing nothing at all about them.

American public the job 1t was do- ing for labor.
 NO WOMAN'S JOB
 Boiled down to the last analysis, the chief handicap of Miss Per- kins is that she canont help be- ing e woman at 0 time when two groups of men are waglng a labor war unto the death. AS a woman Miss Perkins abhors strife. One reason for her failure to heal the labor breach is that she hates to see Green and Lewis battle. And when they get together they ale ways battle.
 PEACE, TO MISS PERKINS, IS WHEN BILL GREEN AND JOHN L. LEWIS ARE APART.
 Having failed to bring peace, she also lacks the CIO and AFTI's 100 per cent support. They have made half-hearted protests against the stripping of her Department. But they have not done 50 until ca. joled into 1t by the secretary and her aides.
 Instead of working with her, they have criticized her for not having sufficient influence at the White House to get what she wants. John L. Lewis summarized the situation very nearly one day when he said:
 "When the farmer needs help, Uncle Sam pours 1t on with seed loans, parity payments, drouth gifts, soil conservation payments and half . dozen other things. But when labor needs help it is given statistics"
 Today, the Department of Labor Is strong on statistics. Its sta- tistics are the most accurate in the country. The Department also has a handful of good executives Marshall Dimock, Isador Lubin and Gerard Reilly. But until it gets the support of the President. or the support of labor, or a new head, 1t will give very little else to the American workingman.

Ironic, because Davis gave her ' start on the stage.
 Now it's Vinton Freedley who has made overtures to Al Jolson for Q musical show. And Jolson, who feels pretty blue out on the Coast because of the Ruby Keel- CT rift, is said to be amiable to- ward a prosopal that he come back to Broadway, If there's Q part in 1t for Mrs. Jolson, too. FAME IN THEIR
 LIFETIMES
 As far as my research goes, only one thoroughfare in Manhattan bears the name of a pair of men who still are alive. And this unique lane IS Shubert Alley, which cuts @ narrow swath be- tween Forty-fourth and Forty fifth streets. It is named for the Brothers Lee and J(ake) J. Shu. bert. the most powerful stage freres in the countyy--or in the world, for that matter.
 Shubert Alley never had @ for. nal christening. It merely came to be known by that name be- cause no one could think of & better or more appropriate one. It is e private walk to all intent and purpose, but pedestrians free- ly shortcut from one street to the other via 1t.
 The Shubert limousines are parked there, and sometimes an additional car is allowed access. Katherine Hepburn's streamlined chariot, for example, has been parked there for months. because she happens to be playing at the Shubert Theater in "The Phila. delphia Story Some day, per- haps, the Shuberts will receive a grant from the city and make the name of Shubert Alley official. BEST-SELLERS ALONG
 THEATRICAL FRONT
 The stream of incoming shows will be deluged with many new ones before Christmas and the angels" appear to be carefree with their money, from the reck. less way in which 1t is being flung about.
 Anyway, the playgoers of Man haitian know which shows 1t is Q privilege to buy tickets to: these best sellers are the "Scandals", "Hellzapoppin'," Ladies and Qen- tlemen" with Helen Hayes), "The Philadelphia Story" (with Kath- arine Hepburn), '"rhe Man Who Came to Dinner" Life With Father" "The Streets of Paris" and "skylark with Gertrude Lawrence).
 skylark, incidentally, Is some. thing of a gold-mine for It's author, Samson Raphaeson who wrote 1t originally as c magazine serial, then as e profitable novel, then as a play.
 And eventually he will convert 1t into a moving picture. When he ultimately counts up, he will find that his Skylark has netted him pay dirt that will assay at least a half million dollars.
 Not bad for @ sophisticated Dit of fluff, huh?

The poor pedestrian gets another help ing hand from the courts. This time it's the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors that stands by the man in the street and defends his rights to life, liberty, and hap piness. It all came about in a Superior Court case that the highest court recently reviewed. It set aside defendants verdict and ordered a new trial. In the original trial Judge P. B. O'Sullivan charged the jury in part as follows: Ut is not antici- pated that pedestrians will cross at places other than regular crosswalks. And natur- ally drivers are not bound to anticipate that they will cross at places other than regular crosswalks." The highest court admits that crosswalks are for pedestrians, but also claims that the remaining portion of roadway is not exclusively for vehicles. In short pedestrian and vehicle alike have rights in the roadway; each should be re- spected

Clipped from the Hartford Times is this brief comment . "It appears to be some what surprising to the Hartford Courant that three months after the Waterbury corruptionists were convicted the voters there who refused to reform their poli- tical system have continued in office the same party whose members were convicted of having robbed them Why be surprised? The Courant itself found no difficulty about ignoring what the Grand Jury said that applied to Hartford" More surpris- ing to Waterbury, perhaps, is the impress sion throughout the state that the Demo: cratic Party was condemned because of alleged shortcomings of some members.
