ISolationiSt Senators were greatly
encouraged and claimed that the
ccuntry's reaction to Lindbergh's
arguments would win them more
votes in the Senate.
Administration leaders doubted
that 1t would and still claimed IS
votes, II more than necessary to
p0ss the Presidents program. II
was pointed out that the vast ma
jority Of those supporting embargo
repeal base their position not upon
giving aid to one side in the war
but on the contention that the en-
barge is unneutral and could in
volve this country In war. In short.
both sides claim. that they are mo-
tivated only by the desire to keep
the United States out of war.
"This fight is not hopeless by any
means" said Senator Robert M.
La Toilette, Progressive, Wisconsin,
leader Of the opposition. There Is
going to be a tremendous fight for
cash instead of credit and for re-
tention Of the arms embargo In this
bill"
La Follette's and Lindbergh's
fathers were among the So men,
hers Of Congress who voted against
American entrance into the World
War In 1917.
In his first radio address several
weeks ago, Lindbergh did not men,
ton the neutrality bill. He con-
fined his remarks to a plea for this
country to stay out Of the Euro
pean war. Last night he concluded
his address with the following pro-
gram which he said I'VE should
adopt as our program Of American
neutrality, as our contribution IN
western civilization"
Outlines Program
~. An embargo on offensive
weapons and munitions.
~. The unrestricted sale Of pure
" defensive ornaments.
-. The prohibition Of American
shipping from the belligerent coun-
tries Of Europe and their danger
zones.
-. The refusal Of credit to bel
lgerent nations or their agents."
He denounced those who claim
that repeal Of the embargo would
assist the cause Of democracy, "be-
cause I do not believe this Is a war
for democracy.
This Is q war over the balance
Of power In Europe - war brought
about by the desire for strength on
the part OF Germany and the fear of
strength ON the part Of England and

 Mrs, Blake looked after the young sters. She wanted to shout, T don't believe in playing soldier, either. Why, they actually gave Joey Q gas mask. It is the. worst looking thing I ever saw even if 1t is just a false face."
 Toys Too Reals
 l know that many other mothers, too, are puzzled about the realistic playthings made to amuse children. I am not sold too completely on some of them myself. But ] have learned this, and I hope l am near the truth: that children do not al- ways play they are good angels or fairies, whether they have the trap- pings or not. A boy needs no Indian suit to conjure up a massacre. He'll yell and whoop and scalp the enemy quite cold -bioodedly. He needs no cowboy suit or wooden gun to shoot a couple of horse thieves On sight. He lays them in the dust with @ finger and a click of the tongue.
 You see, children play at realism. We cannot put them in pink nur- series and tell them that all the outside world is a myth. They know better. The dramatic instinct calls for trouble. There is no plot or story without the obstacle" in literary parlance.
 Morbid things always make me shiver. But after all, just what things ARE morbid? The child doesn't think of them as anything but @ good chance to show of. He plays doctor one minute and the next is building @ skyscraper. He is a dozen people inside of an hour. It's all just part of the stage on which he acts. (Copyright, 1889, NEA Service, Inco

Baldur von Schirach, presiding ct the celebration of the organization's 2 first anniversary, told the b00,o00 members that they must become still more beautiful.
 The Nazi prescription for femi- nine beauty is physical training. It takes no stock in the beauty tonics we American women go for-perm- anent waves, finger nail polish, makeup, facials, crazy hats, high heels, and what we consider alluring clothes. No-the answer lies in two words, physical training.

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia MaEs
NEA Service ssaff Writer


 You've been geeting your hair done every week. You've been pretty good about applying fresh makeup several times . day. You really spend more time planning your wardrobe and choosing fiatter- Ing clothes than you used to. n other words, you have been quite conscientious about improving your self these past few months.
 Yet you aren't completely satisiied with the results of ell your efforts. "Why don't I look as smart as Mary 90 and So. or . model In . fashion zmagasine?" you ask yourself often.
 well, perhaps it's because you have been 60 busy correcting your faults--iike trying to make your hair do another day or two. shop. ping without first making c care- iul plan, or refusing to do posture exercises ct least once week--that you haven't gotten around to con- sidering small, seemingly unimpor- tant details.
 For instance. no meticulously groomed woman ever carries c bulg- ing. shapelass pocketbook. She wouldn't dream Of stuffing her bag with non essentials or using 1t as . filing case for old notes and letters. Her white gloves are immediately white. She brushes black suede ones before putting them on. She has the leather lifts on her heels re- placed often. She has hat stands and shoe trees and she uses them.
 In addition, she always brushes her hat before putting it on and brushes off the shoulders of her dress after each combing. She won't tolerate clipped or cracked nail polish for . moment. And she puts on clean underwear and fresh stockings every morning.
 These are some of the reasons why she always has that bandbox look you're determined to attain.
