BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

There Is a tenseness In Europe
which makes the leaders Of the
allied and neutral nations wish that
the Germans and their associates
would start doing something Some
direct action is considered preferable
to the present uncertainty and sus-
pense.
The Dutch government is worried.
The presence of a number of Ger
man divisions-mostly motorized
units-at the frontier between the
Netherlands and Belgium makes
them suspect a German aggression
despite-or maybe because of-the
assurances given lately by the Reich
that Holland need not worry if she
remained truly neutral
| X
Discreet inquiries were made by
the Dutch diplomats at the foreign
Office in Berlin regarding the in
creased number of troops at the
border. The Netherlands minister
was told that the foreign office could
not discuss military matters; that
German troops are all along the
western front; that the presence
of a larger number of troops at one
particular point does not neces-
sarily mean an intention on the
part of the general staff to attack
on that point.
These vague reasSurances are not
particularly comforting for the
Dutch, who are taking every con-
ceivable precautionary measure to
defend their territorial integrity.
The Finns are not much happier
either. Damocles' sword is still
hanging over their heads. Nothing
much is expected to happen until
the meeting of the four Nordic states
takes place Wednesday. After that,
the Finnish delegation. armed with
the assurances of the four small
states that they will stand by each
other, will return to Moscow and
listen to Mr.. Molotof1's sermons
little longer
The Turks are still playing pos
sum. They are trying to delay the
signature of any final agreement
until they can see how the wind is
blowing in the west. They don't like
to tie themselves hand and foot to
the chariot of the axis and they don't
want to turn down the Russian pro-
posals either
The experience Of the last war is
still fresh In the minds Of the An
kara leaders. If they back the wrong
horse, Turkey is doomed. But on the

Some time ago we described a new
type of Venetian blind which has
Stats made of aluminium At that
time we mentioned that the metal
had a special finish, which made
them impervious to scratches. Now
these same blinds may be had with
colored aluminium Stats, which are
just as rugged as the first. because
the color has not been painted on,
but has been made a part of the
surface by a dyed anodic treat
ment.
Because the color has thus been
deposited on the metal these blinds
should retain their attractive deco
rative coloring indefinitely. They
may be cleaned as often as you
please and nothing you can do
will rub off the permanent colors.
These blinds are available in a
wide range of colors for both tapes
and Stats so that they can be
worked into almost any decora-
tive scheme.

Now that winter has finally de-
cided to call it quits and warm
weather has arrived we will be doff- :
ing our overcoats and other heavy
clothing and putting them away for
the summer. Many hungry moth
has been waiting for this happy
time of year, and their little mouths
are probably watering at the sight
of all the fine woolens being hung
up before their very eyes.
There are numerous more or less
standard ways of combating the de-
structive visitors who lie in wait
in your closets, but we heard a sort
of clever new one that you should
welcome, and the moths should de-
test. Instead of tossing moth balls
into the closet or some other rather
ill-smelling preventative, this new
way consists of actually converting
any closet into fine cedar closet
where moths are most unhappy.
All you have to do is mix a fine
powder made of crushed-up cedar
wood with water. The cedar wood
has been reinforced with aromatic
cedar oil, so that after you have
brushed, smoothed-on or sprayed
the mixture on the interior of your
closet you Immediately have a fine
smelling cedar closet. 1t can be
applied over plaster wood or other
materials, and after it has lost it's
aroma it can be perked up again
with a special oil made for the pur-
pose.
You don't have to limit your &C
tivities to closets, either, because the
material can just as easily be spread
around inside a chest or other stor-
age place. After it has dried it
has the same color as natural cedar,
and it would take pretty much of an
expert to tell the difference in the
odor given off. The surface is por-
GUS so that it will absorb a goodly
quantity of the oil when you spray
it on about once year.

That strange force which is urg-
ing inventors to combine all sorts
of things with other things has been
at it again with interesting results.
This time a precision thermometer
has been built into the faceplate of
a handsome chrome finished elec-
trio switch plate
The resulting union is a pleasing
looking arrangement which should
find spot in many homes where
people are interested in the weather,
or any place where you would like
to keep an accurate check of the
air conditions thereabout.
To install this handy, decora-
tive little thermometer you merely
have to remove switch plate from
a conveniently located light switch
and put this one on instead. The
