in the daily routine of affairs as it is

To be sure in the interest of good

With suits as popular as they are
this winter the call for a collection

prove none too many. The lace

Frilliness Touch
Is Given by Alix

Alix, who has for so long shown
costumes distinguished by their SUBJ
tie drapery and long flowing lines,
now makes concession toward the
Victorian influence of the season in
evening dresses with more than a
slight feeling of feminine frilliness.
Out-iutting ruffles are the evidence
of this departure from severe sim
plicity and this designer uses them
most frequently on velvets.

Strategy of Parties

The Democratic campaign has been concentrated on an effort to have the voters pull the top lever straight. Campaign strategy in this connection called for no clubs Or organizations pledged to the sup- port of single candidate, all efforts being directed toward . victory for the whole ticket.
 The Republicans used contrast ing strategy, employing clubs to aid the causes of the various individual candidates. The Socialists cari- paigned on general issues, lacking the organization and finances of the major parties.
 Not Exciting Campaign
 The campaign itself was unevent- full for the most part, though 1t livened up during the last few days before the election. The aggressive campaign expected from the Repub- licans this year failed to live up to the rosy promises, much of the fail- ure being cause by dissension in the c. O. P. ranks.
 Leaders of each party were con- fident of victory. Democratic Town Chairman Joseph F. Mulville pre- dicted 8 Democratic majority of D. 200 votes. Republican Town Chair man J. Warren Upson said the G. O.. P. would win by 2,000. Socialist Town Chairman Samuel Wolozin predicted that his party would win, claiming that 1t would garner l4,000 votes.
 Headquarters of each of the par ties were busy places today, as work in the various election districts was checked by telephone. The total vot. ing registration was slightly over 45, ,O00, and Q vote of between 33,000 and S8,000 was looked for.
 Morning Vote Light
 The early morning vote was even lighter than in the "off-year" state election in 1888. The vote at 10 a. m was 9,s62, as compared with l0,638 at the same hour last year. Com parison with figures for the 1887 city election could not be made, because of the fact that voting districts since that time have been increased from 20 to 32 and district lines have all been changed.
 The Democrats entered the cam- paign with 8 reorganized town coni- mittee and have campaigned with youthful enthusiasr.. They offered a ticket composed almost entirely Of

asserting that "the Independent voter is the real salvation of decent politics in this country"
 Under our system," he said, "it seems that we must have political parties and parties inevitably trend toward centralization of political power and toward corruption.
 "rhe only remedy there really is for the evils of the party system is the Independent voter. In other words, 1t is the Independent voter who tends to keep politics clean. It Is the business of every political party to make such a record and keep such a record as will win the Independent voter"
 Borah does not regard Hamilton's conduct of National committee af. fairs highly. He refused to aid former Gov. Ali M. Landon's pres- idential campaign In l936 as he had refused to aid Herbert 0. Hoover's reelection campaign four years ear- Her. His last big effort for the Re- publican party was in 1929 when his support was major factor in MT. Hoover's lop.sided victory.
 The Senator and MT. Hoover fell out almost immediately after the 1929 inauguration. So Borah has been off the G. o. P. reservation for about 10 years. It is no secret here that he does not regard the l940 crop of potential c. o. P. candi. dates very highly. The question of a Borah bolt or sit-down next year is as pertinent today as 1t was four years ago when the likelihood of a Borah bolt had Republican states men worried,

textile industries are not exactly parallel, and that a procedure which might be fairly simple in the one could be extremely conn plicated in the other.
 For one thing, tremendous sums of money are involved in an auto factory, and costs are shaved with microineters. A saving of a third of Q cent on one operation and half a cent on another can mean a difference of millions of dollars on the years balance sheet.
 The thing that has been estab- lished in the textile industry is that determination of the speed at which certain operations are to be conducted can be made a matter of collective bargaining negotiations. This can be done without implying that @ union has an actual or theoretical right to exercise 6 voice in shaping management policies.
 Within limits, the matter can be chased with the setting of hour and pay schedules. To that evtent, the record in textiles may be & useful guidepost to the auto industry.

a bigger scale only one British ship had been lost last week-aroused interest again in the possibility that Adolf Hitler's long-awaited big of- fensive against England would come by air and sea rather than by land offensive or the Western Front or through Belgium or Holland. The German press warned that armed Allied merchantmen could not be considered as carrying guns merely for defense against U-boats and would be treated as "enemy warships" and pirate vessels in the future.
 German airplanes have thor oughly surveyed the English coast and the Scottish naval bas areas and-after many bomb-less flights the Nazi attack on the Shetland islands yesterday may have been Q comparatively harmless warm up for renewal of big scale raids.
 Allies Are Prepared
 The British and French reported that they were prepared to meet any German attacks by air or sea and, in view Of failure of all peace maneuyers so far, 1t was believed probable there would be spectacular tests of strength in the air before winter sets in.
 The diplomatic front also was comparatively quiet, with greatest interest centering in Soviet Russia's next move.
 Two capitals that waited that move with greatest concern were Helsingfors and Bucharest. The Films were In the direct path of Soviet anger as result of having broken of negotiations on Russian demands for naval bases on the Gulf of Finland. The Soviet press attacked Finland's attitude and be- gan building up charges against the little northern country in maneuvers that indicated a prolonged war of nerves rather than actual invasion.
 In Bucharest, fear was felt that Soviet attention would be concen- trated in the Balkans as soon as the Finnish dispute was out of the way o rdefinitely postponed. King Carol, one-time royal playboy who re- turned to the throne as a stern and so far skillful ruler, summoned his parliament for November 25 to hear a declaration expected to be of im- portance in the Balkan struggle to form strong neutral bloc.
 Rumania In Bad Spot
 Rumania Is most vulnerable to dismemberment with Russia, Hun- gary and Bulgaria claiming big sec- tions of her territory, and 1t was be- lieved that Carol would seek to speed efforts toward forming a bloc capable of resisting the rising tide of warfare in Europe.
 Such a bloc might best be set up at present by working under the leadership of Italian Premier Ben- | ito Mussolini and Rumailia recently has indicated a favorable attitude toward such 6 development, espe- cially if Turkey and the Allied pow CTS approved.

 The Socialist campaign has been directed against both major parties, and they have spared no words in attacking both major parties.

 The textile industry hit the same snag several years ago and got around 1t to the satisfaction of or- Ranized labor and management alike. It did this largely by us- ing the services of Q skilled tech- nical staff maintained by the Dlyi" sion of Cancellation of the U. s. De- partment of Labor.

 The loss of the British cargo boat which went down a mile from the British, destroyer was described by Jack Pocock, a fisherman who res- cued many of the destroyer surviv- ors in his motorboat.
 "En route to shore with our sur- vivors we saw an explosion under the bows of a British cargo boat" he said. Great fountains of water were blown around her. All members of the crew escaped in the ships boats. The vessel drifted for an hour and a half before she sank"
 Pocock told of acts of herolsnl while he was rescuing men from the destroyer.

 DISPUTE SETTLED,
 NO FACE LOST
 Tn any case, the point is that his arbitration is accepted.
 On the one hand, union griev. ances which arise over questions of speed are settled without strikes. On the other, the man. agement is able to make conces- sions, where concessions are ad. visable, without in any way ad- mitting that labor is entitled to a voice in setting the policy of the company.
 It is admitted that the auto and
