torrents of blood and precious trib- ute of lives, a heroic and glorious page in the hisory of freedom.
 Tn the midst o1 the material dif- faculties through which all America is passing, it is not necessary to remind ourselves of the solid spirit ual tiesw hich join us nor to in- yoke the perils of the moment, to set forth the thoughts of the people of Cuba and my own, to send them our noble sister nations. In offer ing our fervent prayers for con- tinental solidarity, we reiterate our conviction that, throughout the contingencies the future may hold in store for us, we shall remain united in single cause for our de- fepse in grave or dangerous mo- ments or in cooperation to achieve a more stable and prosperous life.
 America is filled to overfowing with latent energies which only American solidarity can make effec- tive. To develop them, with the participation of all of us, in view of better economic formulas, is a task to be undertaken with decision.
 "The heroic fraternity of the peo- pies of America can take on real sense of moral obligation, and be transformed into fecund brother hood of riches, of men and of com mon interests, as we now are, geo. graphically, morally and politically.
 ''The close relationship between the international security and the normal economic development of the democratic peoples forces Ameri- caniSm to cease to be protocolar concept and to become an under standing of social, economic and political necessity"

PATTERN 952
DAINTY BROCK FOR KIDDIE AND DOLL

It's fun to be "copy cat" in this adorable kiddie style. For Claire Tilden has provided Pattern 952 in sizes for both a small, doting moth CT" and her doll-child. Such an easy-to-make frock, with its few simple pattern parts and the step- by-step Sewing Guide to show needle and shears all the shortcuts. The skirt part is made in just two pieces and has saucy flare. But it's the yoke that gives this dress its unusual appeal. Made straight across in back, in front it divides into three sections with rounded edges that form scallops. Trim the frock with lace for Sunday best" style, or have the entire yoke in vivid contrast. A practical idea for summer is to omit the sleeves in a sunny-day version. Still another style shows puffed sleeves and a trim little collar. Gay buttons or bows complete this colorful picture of childhood charm.
 Pattern 952 is cut in children's sizes 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10. Doll size Is inch only. Size 6, dress with sleeves, requires 5-8 yards 35 inch fabric and IA yard contrast; sleeveless dress, 1-2 yards 35 inch fabric and 2 3-4 yards lace edging.

 The tall blonde in the smoth- fitting black coat loked like story book heroine until she stood up to leave the restaurant. Then, how ever, she broke spel.
 There were black marks on the ankles of her stockings, and the n1tS on her heels were crooked.
 IS YOUR POCKETBOOK
 USED AS A TRUNK?
 She moved on down to the desk to pay her check and got in line be- hind a smartly-groomed, good-look- ing little brunette in navy silk suit with frosty white blouse. Even thet all blonde was impressed. She studied the brunette from the tips of her polished navy blue shoes to the top of her obvoisuly recently brushed, perfectly-tilted green hat.
 But she wasn't impressed for long. And neither were the cashier or others in the line.
 Because suddenly the litle dark haired girl opened her bag, which had been resing on the desk. From then on, attention focused on the bag instead of on its owner. Stuffed until it was absolutely shapeless, bits of cleansing tissue and odds and ends of this and that fell out as the brunette flshed around for money.
 Again, an otherwise perfect pie ture was ruinned by mere detail And it happends all too often.
 SO-SO GROOMING IS
 LIKE NONE AT ALL
 There are no two ways about It. even the incest, most perfectly pressed costumes loses much of its charm if the accessories worn with ita rent in fine order. A smashingly dramatic hat doesn't make up for soiled gloves or a dingy scarf. A good dress means nothing if a slip shows below the hemline of it.
 In other words, so-so grooming Is not so very much better than bad groomink. If she is going to bother with her appearance at all, the smart woman goes the whole way She sets and keeps every detail in order. And keeps it in order all day ovnI-v daV

 Ordinary respiration or breathing is fairly well understood by every body, although not one person in ten knoWs how to breathe.

 SWING ELECTIONS
 This is particularly true in 1940, a Presidential election year. Women obtained the vote by many years Of united, firm action. But since they have had the vote, they have never yet really acted as an effective unit to throw their weight politically.
 If we women are not satisfied witt! the way the United States is run, or with the people who are running 1t, it is up to us really to get down to earth and do something about 1t.
 This year Is a golden opportun- ity, for national politics is in a great state of influx, and any candidate will have to make himself satisfac- tory to the women of the country ii he means to become President.

 Old timers, knowing that physi- cal activity makes demand on the heart for increased work and rest lightens the work of the heart, drew the conclusion that one with any kind of heart disease must avoid all exercise. In some circumstances rest is essential in the treatment of heart disease; in most cases gradu- ated exercise is essential-that is, exercise ill gradually increasing amount, according to the individ- ualS reserve power as estimated by the physician.
 A fair amount of daily exercise is essential in the prevention of CVD, because it increases the absorption of oxygen and opposes the tenden- cy toward anoXia in the Sedentary individual.

By Justin Reese

Over 1900 delegates from all over the country are now assem- bIed in New York city for the fourteenth national convention Of The National League of Women Voters.
 After hearing financial reports, attending business meetings, visit ing historic places, seeing the Museum of Modern Art, supping Tt 8 banquet, touring the big city, and shopping in Fifth Avenue stores, the ladies will attend a symposium on Principles Behind the Issues"
 'Principles Behind the Issues" is a mighty interesting topic. Per haps new light will be shed on the 194O presidential campaign. But l trust that before the ladies begin to discuss the aforementioned principles they will have deter mined what the issues are.
 They vii be doing a great serv- ice to every political aspirant, to Dr. Gallop, to the country, and to political writers of all shades if they are presagious enough to determine now what hat the l94O issues will be. Of course, once hav- ing determined the issues, the principles become automatic.
 This cOlumnist, for one, is par. ticuIarly anxious to know what the blanks of the parties and cam diates will be. Will Tom Dewey run as a super "G-Man"? VIII Dr. Roosevelt off a third-term as a panacea for our ailments? Will Vandenberg offer isolation as 2 means of keeping us out of war?
