KENNEDY FEARS
U, s. GOLD JEOPARDIZED
Somewhere around the first Of
the year, according to reliable re-
port, Ambassador Kennedy gave
President Roosevelt gloomy pic
ture of the allies prospects. Both
England and France, he is under
stood to have said, were feeling the
life-and would be bankrupt inside
strain of the war on their economic
OF two years If the war went on.
Contrary to rather general Inn
preston, Kennedy Is no Anglophile
but is 100 per cent for keeping
America out of the war. But he Is
reported to have told the President
France would create worldwide
economic collapse of England and
economic chaos-and, incidentally
would make Americas store Of gold
worthless.
This, 1t is understood, Is what per-
suaded the President to send Welles
on his trip to Europe.
PEACE HAS BECOME
PRIME OBJECTIVE
Welles' confidential reports to the
President and the State Depart
ment are, of course, kept strictly
secret. The understanding, however
Is that in the main they have been
hopeful. One story, for instance, Is
that the code word for favorable
has appeared In a number of his
dispatches, while the word for "un-
favorable" has appeared but once.
In any case, vital point to re-
member is that there has been a
profound shift in the administra-
tons attitude since the war began.
In october, when the neutrality
fight was on, President Roosevelt's
view was that Hitler must be
stopped, and that-by measures
short of war"-the United States
must see that England and France
were not beaten.
Today, he puts the Importance
of peace ahead Of allied victory.
There is still a division Of opinion
in the State Department; note,
however, that both Kennedy and
Welles are in the peace first" wing.
SEEK TO REMOVE
CAUSES OF WAR
Lastly, there Is the matter Of
this governments conversations
with neutrals-both direct, from
Washington, and via Myron Taylor
and the Pope.
These conversations have dealt
peace but with the removal Of
not merely with the conclusion Of
wars causes. And the prospect to-
day is nothing less than this
that II the present mediation eff
forts should succeed and there
should be o peace conference, 1t
would either be accompanied or
Immediately followed by q world
conference for disarmament and
the reduction Of trade barriers,
with the United States taking the
lead.
That would tie in with Secretary
Hull's amending campaign for freer
world trade. 1t would also jibe with
an forgotten fact-that Presi-
dent Roosevelt, in his peace offer to
Hitler last April, went on record
with an offer to call just such q
conference and to take an active
part in 1t.

Sweden's natural wealth is in
timber, iron and water power, thru
the utilization Of these resources,
the people have developed a nation
that is respected by all. Forests
and farms are protected by the
government, women play an active
part in politics, and much atten-
ton is given to education.
Sweden imports coal, petroleum,
cotton and some food. Among her
exports are lumber, pulp, paper,
iron, meat and dairy products.
Sweden's chief industry is min

copper, pyrites, arsenic, sulphur
and coal.
HOME ECONOMICS
The seventh graders are doing
their first bit of cooking in the
new Home Economics Department.
They make candy before Christmas,
but outside Of that they're getting
their first taste of cooking and
enjoying it too. Miss Cary says
that they're getting quite a bang
out of it and hopes their enthus-
iasm will continue. These learn
ers of the cooking art are on a
breakfast unit, that is the making
of beverages and fruits substantial
for breakfast.
The Home &c. girls are on their
bread unit. They are making muf-
fin and have made plain and bran.
The girls in the ninth and tenth
grade are busy on their sewing
unit. AS you probably know the
ninth grade is making cotton dress
es while the tenth is trying out
silk for the first time. Some girls
in the tenth grade are half thru.
Nice going, girls!
ART
How many Of us are aware of
the fact that this week is safety

art room to get the news. OF
course any of the Art students
could have told you. They have
been making safety posters and the
best one in each room is to be en-
larged and drawn on the black
board.

that the study of land has proven

studying about Sweden. They have
found the following interesting
things about it:

 FOLLOW LOOKS
 Nor are her health, looks, dress. and voice neglected.
 These--says Stephens College - are as important to women as any kind of book" knowledge. And oddly, enough, the faculty has found that the two go hand in hand. Improve a girls looks, and her grades improve noticeably.
 Since a womar's voice and con- versation are important both of these are trained at Stephens.
 The school provides grooming clinic that looks like @ Fifth Ave- nue beauty salon. Here Susie or Jane can go to learn how to look her individual best. She may go into the clinic careless, dowdy girl-but she comes out with a new hair-do, wearing the right makeup, knowing her figure faults and how to overcome them. And the gleam in her eyes seems to say: well, I'm pretty good-look- ing after all"
 If she is overweight she eats at the doctor-supervised diet table, If she is underweight she sits at a table where the girls stuff fat- tening foods.
 Her college realizes that 1t is as right and normal for girl to be as interested in how many dates she gets-as in how many boys she knows.
 NEXT: Training for jobs.
