Jewelry Forecast
For Autumn Wear
Rush Is On for Jet Cadgets
For characterization.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Exciting events are transpiring in
the realm Of new jewelry for fall.
There is a great rush on for jet
necklaces and bracelets, hair orna-
ments, earrings and various gadgets
of jet.
Then there is the new topaz Jew
elry, it's the talk O. town and women
are clamoring for it to wear with
their new black frocks.
Perhaps the new-type jewelry
that is creating the greatest enthu-
slasm is being broadcast in fashion
circles as pompadour jewelry. The
couture is regarded so important
this season and such a big influence
it not only determines the type of
hat you must wear but it has been
the inspiration for combs and jew
eled diadem effects that conform to
the new pompadour hair-dos. You
can get entire ensembles that in
clude earrings, head bands, bar
rettes and the like created with the
pompadour hairdress in mind.
Another high novelty is fur Jew

form to with hats made of fur.
Clips with clusters of wee ermine
tails are complemented with brace

Then too comes the assurance that

present in the current style scene.

THE FULL HOPE


Lord of my life before whose will 1
yield
Lo! l withdraw the barrier of my
pride;
Let my heart swell a MINDLESS evening
tide
Till all the marshland of my past's
concealed;
Let stiffness nj my ecstasy be sealed
Deep as the swellin gsea is deep and
wide;
Lord of my life, where all my dreams
abide,
Take me into thy dwelling who am
healed.
All, Love! we shall dwell here for ever
more
In this great dwelling of our Hope
fulfilled;
Ever the past ebhind US, and before
The golden future. What the gods
have willed
Of good or bad to enter at the door,
We shall dwell here until our hearts
are stilled.

MARCIA,S GREEN MASK

On the twenty-frst day of her new
life as Mrs. Robert T. Evans, Marcia
made resolution that even though
she was now included in the vast cate
CORY of busy housewives, she would
not let herself GO as many of her
married girl friends had done. She
decided that she would keep herself
looking just as attractive for her new
husband as she had when he was her
sweetheart.
To this end, Marcia had bought a
dozen gay cotton frocks and several
smart pinafores to wear about the

Military Headgear
From New Zealand

The picturesque headgear of the
Australian and New Zealand soldiers

linery shown by London hat design
ers. These styles have high pinched
crowns aud wide brims. Some of
the brims are simply fiat and
straight, while others turn up at one
side and fasten under the chin with
a military locking strap.

Nude Stockings Are
On Fall Program

Have you heard the latest? It's
about stockings that are that sheer
and accurately toned to natural flesh
coloring, when worn they give the
impression of being stockingless.
They are worth looking up in the
stores if you like the sheerest of
sheer hosiery.

Style Notes

New fashions are dignified.
Pencil slim coat dresses fasten
to one side.
Wrist or bracelet length is edict
for new sleeves.
Interest in many-strand long
necklaces increases.
Fringe epaulets impart "style"
to dresses and to coats.
Metallic brocades is fall mes
sage for draped turbans.
Dramatic wide brims give
spectator sports hats the new"
look.
Rich fur trims and bishop
sleeves distinguish the newer
coats.

the right spot to look fashion-cor-
rect. These American-made Slip

dramatic contrast to the natural

gloves extra length and their ex-

American made means long wear

Bakery Strike Ruling

Although the recent District Court
decision that a strike of bakery
workers here was not subject to the
restraints of the Federal monopoly
laws is hailed by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor as blow to the
antitrust prosecutions under the
Sherman Act that the Department Of
Justice has instituted against build
ing trades unions in several cities,
that contention is open to dispute.
In this instance, where the work.
ers left their jobs in protest against
the importation of out-of-town prod
ucts, and the reputed resultant dis
placement of local bakers, District
Court Justice Adkins said that the
strike was a proper exercise of the
rights of those involved to safeguard
their economic welfare, and that the
employer, consequently, could not
recover damages in civil suit.
In the Justice Department cases,
centering in Washington and else
r where, the Government is proceeding
under the criminal code against al

Tempest in q Teapot

A vain attempt by Representative
Joseph w. Byrns, jr., of Tennessee to
aid constituent" to obtain an in
terview with Paul Edwards, admin
istrator of the Work Projects Ad-
ministration of the District of Co.
lumbia, has had repercussions at the
Capitol of magnitude far exceed
Ing the apparent Importance of the
unfortunate incident. According to
Mr.. Byrns, a telephone request to
Mr.. Edwards Office for an appoint
ment elected the response that the
w. P. A. administrator was "too
busy" to grant an interview. The
TennesSean thereupon protested to
the House against the "insolence and
arrogance of two-bit nitwits in the
Federal service of the District of
Columbia" Other Representatives
later Joined in the controversy, some
criticizing and some defending Mr..
Edwards and the w. P. A. There was
speculation, too, as to why "con-
stituent" of Tennessee Congress-
man should be seeking w. P. A. en-
ployment in the District of Colum-
bia, where there are not enough Jobs
to 60 around as it Is
In fairness to Representative
ByrnS, it should be stressed that the
so-called constituent actually is a
bona flde resident of the District of
Columbia who formerly lived in
Tennessee, but who no longer is
eligible to vote there for Mr.. Byrns
or any one else. This man, painter
by trade. was employed by the local
w. P. A. last year until he was tenn
porarily incapacitated by an injury
to his hand-received while off duty.
There are nearly three thousand
persons on the certified list of the
District w. P. A., awaiting chance
to become one of the more than ten
thousand now on the pay rolls. The
w. P. A. took another painter from
this waiting list and filled the
vacancy. When the injured man re-
turned, he found himself back on
the waiting list. 1t was then that he
sought the help of Mr.. Byrns to get
his job back.
Obviously, there was nothing i'm
proper about the effort of Mr.. Byrns
to obtain an interview at the w. p.
A. for Washington resident who
had qualified for governmental aid.
And in justice to Mr.. Edwards it
should be pointed out that he was
not in his Office when the alleged
''insolence" of subordinate oc-
CURED. AS Representative Connery
of Massachusetts, said on the floor,
there is nothing in the record of Mr..
Edwards here nor in his previous
work in New York and Massachusetts,
to indicate that he is anything but a
courteous, sincere and efficient pub
lie servant, fully conscious of his
responsibilities to the people of the
District and to the Congress. It
would be most unfortunate and un-
fair if all this tempest in a teapot
were allowed to initiate against Mr..
Edwards in connection with his
pending nomination as District w.
P. A. administrator.

spiracies to fix prices, holding that
such practices have no reasonable
connection with the legitimate aims
Of labor-wages, hours, and the like.
Obviously the whole matter boils
down to the question Of just how far
labor may go in promoting strikes
without engaging in unlawful activ-
ity, and that will not be finally set
tied by any tribunal short of the
Supreme Court.
Some of the doubts may be cleared
away by the final ruling in the cele-
brated Apex case, in which the Apex
Hosiery Co. now is appealing to the
Supreme Court in an effort to collect
sit-down strike damages from a C..
I. O. union. There the District Court
awarded damages under the anti
trust laws, but the Court of Appeals
reversed the judgment.

Allowing for all these manifestations,
we hold to the conviction that the pres
ent evidence is overwhelmingly in the
direction Of a kindlier, more just, more
equitable judgment. Whether we shall
presently have something approximating
the unity Of all religious forces, we do
not venture to say, but that they are
more united where great moral issues
and the large concerns of human well
fare are at stake we believe to be indis-
putably true, especially here in America.
In appraising the characteristics and
practices of any one of the many religious
bodies we have to reckon with traditional
backgrounds, temperamental differences,
tastes and aptitudes. 1t is an impossible
thing to make all men think alike about
any given question and in many, if not
most of the divisions that separate men
into given groups or denominations, the
differences are largely external and su-
perficial. If some of us could think less
OF uniforms, prescribed methods and
superior ways, we would be long way
on the road to corporate unity. 1t is a
OWN eAAAAA6 Aoi Ao w NC lIllIlhlIlS THESE
days about things that are basic and
fundamental, less about things that are
OF minor import and significance. The
seriousness of the attack now being
made on the churches of every name
makes comradeship indispensable. All
churches are against hate, in whatever
form 1t may express itself; they are
against inequities and iniquities in the
social and economic order; they are ir-
revocably opposed to war in all its hide
GUS manifestations. With such unity of
spirit they can, if at one in their effort.
do more to combat and correct these
evils than all other existing organiza-
tions
In promoting throughout Christendom
the spirit of which we write, each indi-
vidual plays definite part. To hold too
closely our denominational pride, to be
narrow in our judgments of those out
side the pale of our preferred group, is
to arrest the growing spirit of fellowship
and to weaken If not render impotent,
the influence of the church in its
divinely appointed task
The Master of men is calling for a
world demonstration of comradeship and
through it for world peace and the reali-
zation of His promise of the abundant
life to all men.

The Coolidge School

On the corner of Fifth and Sheri-
dan streets, NV, stands a magnif1-
cent new senior high school building,
completed recently at a cost of
$1,425 900, which is without equip
ment, teachers or pupils. Although
its corridors are empty, it is costing
the District fifteen dollars day
from an all-too-slim heating appro-
priation to keep the new pipes from
freezing.
The case of the Calvin Coolidge
High School stands as a monument
to the penny wise, pound foolish"
action which cut from the present
budget the funds to equip the new
building. When the item was stricken
from the estimates, school officials
say they were told the structure
probably would not be complete
until three months after this Feb
ruary. Instead it is ready a month
in advance.
Had this item been approved, the
furniture could even now be in
process of installation and the new
building opened for use when the
second semester begins a few weeks
hence. AS it is, only approval of a
deficiency request for additional
funds may insure its readiness next
September. Until then it will con-
tinue to be finished but unused.
It takes several weeks to advertise
for bids and receive estimates and
even when the contract is let, the
contractor has up to ninety days in
which to make delivery. Thus appro-
priations must be made Immediately
available to have the building ready
by September.
Requests for this equipment are
now before Congress in the 1941
budget. It would seem a reasonable
and logical procedure to appropriate
this money in the first deficiency bill
late in February or early in March
and cut the item from the budget. AS
a poor alternative, the funds in the
budget should be made available i'm
mediately upon its passage. Since the
budget this year was not approved
until two weeks after the new fiscal
year had begun, a deficiency appro-
priation obviously would be the bet

Safety Conference

Major Browns calling of q special

Is gratifying. It is a progressive

definite recommendations by In
spector Holmes, traffic supervisor,
will be considered for action. These
recommendations, based on The

Year Day, cover most of the city's
safety needs so far as the Police De-
partment can provide them
Inspector Holmes will suggest
Neutrality-suspicious. reduction in the
speed limits after dark; special,
trained accident investigators;
more stringent ban on ticket fixing;
periodic conferences of keymen in
the Police Department to promote
safety; limitation of taxicabs and
curtailment of cruising; more walk"
lights; physical examinations for
motorists, and scientific tests for
intoxication. With the exception of
lowering the speed limit at night
and calling regular police confer
ences, these are recommendation
which were contained in The Stars
why Must They Die?" review, as
we'll 'as in numerous editorials
throughout the past year. 1t is
realized some of them, such as the
taxicab problem, involve factors
which make their solution by the
police alone extremely difficult.
Others, such as walk" lights and
further traffic signal installations,
depend upon Congress and the Bu-
reau Of the Budget, the latter having
cut in half the funds desired in spite
OF the city's crying need for greater
protection of pedestrians.
How effective would be a reduction
OF the speed limit at night is con-
jectural. In the eighty-five deaths
last year speed played only minor
role, although in non-fatal accidents
1t undoubtedly was more i'm
portant element.
Most encouraging is the evidence
offered by Major Browns call for
this conference that the responsible
officials of the Capital are not allow
ing the saving of lives to be handled
in routine fashion. Their extra
duty efforts give new impetus to the
many citizen groups which are striv-
ing for a safer city.

OUR RELIGIONS
BY the Right Rev James Freeman d. IL. d. D. c. L.,
Bishop OF Wdshin0ton.

One Of the finest things that deeply
engaged the interest of the late Newton
D. Baker was the organization, of which
he was president, that was designed to
bring together in happy fellowship Jew,
Catholic and Protestant Periodically
over the country conferences or seminars
are held in which, with good fellowship
prevailing, these several religious bodies
meet. have been privileged to partici-
pate in these splendid gatherings and
bear testimony to their great value.
On the 18th and 17th OF January one
OF these conferences is to be held In
Washington. Here in the Capital an
other body, known as the Committee
on Religious Life, comprising all
churches, Jew, Catholic and Protestant,
works in perfect accord in the large in
terests of moral and spiritual values. No
attempt is made to invade the autonomy
Of any one of these several bodies, but
on vital questions that concern all classes.
all kinds and conditions Of men, there is
unity OF action. This federation Of re-
hgious interests, so far as we know, is
unique. In the several Protestant bodies
over the country there is what Is known
as the Church Federation, which makes
its large contribution to the cause of
Christian fellowship.
1t is well to speak of these significant
movements in the religious world, espe-
cia!ly at such time as this. Too much
Is said about denominational bias and
sectarian prejudice today. The anti
movements In our corporate life are SO
voluble and vociferous that frequently
we fail to recognize the more hopeful
signs Of growing cooperation; the prog
ress toward a finer understanding and
a truer comradeship. Years ago James
Lane Allen wrote his splendid book en-
titled "The Reign of Law" In it he
described the rivalries and antagonisms
OF the then existing denominational
bodies and their struggle for supremacy.
He showed in dramatic way the para
lying influence of this rivalry upon the
sensitive minds of the youth. 1t was a
story that was not overdrawn It would
not be relevant to the present age. Con-
ditions have changed, and changed for
the better. We do not underestimate the
spirit they can do more to combat and
correct these evils than all other exist
ing organizations.

$199,750.
The Coolidge school. in the opin-
ion of many school officials, has also
received "stepchUd" treatment in its
request for teachers. The 1891 budget
carries funds for a principal, clerk
and only twelve teachers, whereas the
schools had asked full complement
of twenty-eight and the Commits
sioners had allowed twenty-four.
This creates serious problem as it
seems unlikely that there will be
enough teachers available for trans
fers from other high schools to staff
the new institution.

Parallel Problems
During the first World War cert

During the first World War certain
scholars found themselves impressed
by the parallel which their times
seemed to afford with those of an
cient Greece. Sir Gilbert Murray
wrote book on the subject, and it
was widely read among such persons
as had leisure for reading in an era
OF disaster. But still larger public
found opportunity to peruse the OBJ
servations of the novelist H. G. Wells
In his Outline of History" pub
lished in 1921, when, briefly, it ap-
peared that peace might be restored
to mankind. There was message
of hope to be discovered in this VOL
ume. Its author was an optimist,
and people desperately desired to be
encouraged just then.
Now, however, another great con-
flict is raging. It has three separate
aspects-the first a struggle between
Japan and China; the second con-
test between Russia and Finland; the
third the prevailing strife between
Germany and Great Britain and
France. Yet it is not battle itself
which horrifies civilized humanity.
Rather it is the psychological back
ground out of which the tragedy
emerges. Mr.. Wells wrote in his
Outline: Intelligent men were
losing heart in those days, their
faith in the power of men to make
their own conditions of life was fad
ing. There were no more utopias.
The rush of events was manifestly
too powerful for such organized ef-
fort as was then practicable between
men of fine intelligence. It was pos
sible to think of recasting human
society when human society was
little city of few thousand citizens,
but what was happening about them
was something cataclysmal; it was
the political recasting of the whole
known world, of the affairs of what
even then must have amounted to
something between fifty and hun
dred million people. It was recasting
upon scale no human mind was
yet equipped to grasp. It drove
thought back upon the idea of vast
and implacable Fate. It made men
snatch at whatever looked stable and
unifying."
These words, of course, were not
penned with reference to 1910. It
was upon the period of Aristotle that
MIR. Wells commented. Yet the prob
lem is much the same. The race is
challenged by a similar development
of anarchistic forces-forces which
drive nations violently apart, forces
which make existence painful and
perilous, forces which threaten the
destruction cf everything worth liv-
ing for. Surely there is an answer
in democracy, the philosophy OF grad
ual progress through tolerance and
cooperation. But have those who
possess the key to the mystery also
the genius to put their doctrine into
effect? That is the question OF the
| present hour.
