Hectic Existence
Lived by President

VIZ ITH Europe at war, and
w world events changing COM
plexion every half hour, the busy
life of Americas Chief Executive
is more than ever full, hectic, and
unpredictable.
Taking readers behind the scenes
in the White House, Stephen Early,
the Presidents secretary, tells in
the September issue of Cosmopoli-
tan Magazine, that when France fell
into Nazi clutches, the President
was forced, despite the stress and
strain of the crisis, to maintain the
even tenor of his way. Similarly,
when Col. Frank Knox and Henry
L. Stimson were selected for cabinet
posts, something akin to pandemo-
mum broke loose among the press
writer's who were assembled to re-
ceive the news. Repercussions from
all over the world poured in on the
already cluttered desk of the
President.
Wherever the President goes, his
job goes with him, Mr.. Early says.
Travelling by rail or boat, Mr..
Roosevelt never feels rid of the re-
sponsibility that is his. Occasionally
he may spend an evening in his Oval
Study to clear up some of the three
thousand personal letters which ar
rive daily, but even these moments
are regulated by circumstances be-
yond human control.
A life continued for long period
of time at such rate is bound to
take it's toll, and Franklin D. Roose.
velt is no exception to the rule. 1t
is cause to wonder, concludes Mr..
Early, if there is not more than
mere numerals behind the fact that
seven former first ladies are living
today, but only one ex-President.

THANKS to an opinion rendered by Attorney Gen
eral Joe Conway, the Communist Party has been
banned from the September 10th primary and Novem-
ber general election in Arizona.
The Attorney Generals opinion said that a
Communist could not qualify to hold office in Ar1
zona "because his avowed purpose and object and
his duty to his organization require that ne DO
everything possible to overthrow the Constltu-
ton of the United States by force" and the oath
of office requires that he uphold it.
Petitions seeking place on the ballot and bearing
436 names were received by the Secretary OF State
office Saturday, short time before the Attorney
General ruled that the secretary could deny the party
position on the ballot.
By such a ruling, Attorney General Conway lost
few hundred Communist votes and gained thousands

Claire Tilden's Pattern 885 is just the dress-one of the pretti- est and simplest-to-stitch styles you'll never meet. There's young charm in the square neck; there's flattery in the bodice with its cen ter front panel that's so attractive accented with ric-rac or ruffling. Cut the panel on the bias or straight, and you might trim it with novelty buttons to match the edg- ing and the belt buckle. The side sections of the bodice are held in with gathers for well-fitting lines. There's bias-cut to the two-piece, flaring skirt. set onto the bodice in slimming front point. Have the short sleeves straight, or tuck them on the inner sides to allow softness outside, with scalloped edges. Keep, the Sewing Guide close at hand, buy a few yards of bright cotton, and you'll have a smart all-day dress in no time at all!
 Pattern 885 is cut in misses and women's sizes 12, IA, 16, IS, 20, 30, g, 34, 36, 38, 40 and AZ. Size 16 re- quires 3 1-2 yards 35 inch fabric and l 3-4 yards ric-rac.

Ruth M1lletC en respectfully when students ask their school head for hearing, and admit their need of job-hunting advice.
 Once the young people have broken down and confessed that they not only don't know how to write letters of application, but don't even know what to say to a
 prospective employer in face-to- face interview, they shouldn't have any trouble getting the course they want.
 Then the problem becomes the educators. He shouldn't fail these ambitious young people by asking Miss Gettingolder to take charge of the course because she happens to have fewer classes than any of the other faculty members. BUSINESS MEN SHOULD TEACH
 In fact he shouldn't even ask a faculty member to teach the course. A young man or woman on the faculty could conduct it, but the students ought to be allowed to hear the dos and don'ts of some of the city's important executives the men and women who actually hire or turn down job hunters.
 If begun now, such courses could give lot of much-needed advice by June.
 And there would consequently be much less wear and tear on the shoe leather and the self confidence of this June,s graduates than on last years and those of all the years before.

 The rustS will be red with brown llndertoneS. This doesn't mean that orange shades will be revived. Sel- dom are they subtle enough to be flattering to the average complexion
 Most shades of yellow are nat urally becoming to the dark-hair- ed woman with dark eyes and white skin. If she is slightly Sallow, how ever, her makeup must compensate for the fact that yellows usually further accentuate sallow tones
 Greenish yellows, like chartreuse, are best for the woman whose color ing is distinct either absolutely blond or absolutely brunette. It takes a lot of skillful making up to enable the brown-haired woman whose coloring is neither quite blond or quite brunette to wear chartreuse. WATCH OUT FOR
