Moreover. Treasury Secretary
Morgenthau UNDERWRITERS Jesse's COM
mcnt.
The impression l get from talks
with plenty of Washington officials
is that Jesse and Henry are the only
pair who subscribe to the good risk
idea. That Henry does isn't so gen
eraI d surprise. for he doesn't widely
rate as much of 4 businessman, any

the question also Is raised, *HoW
are Jesse and Henry going to pro-
vide the credits Britain is seeking
without the repeal Of our johnson
and neutrality laws" Their repeal is
being urged, to be sure, but it's
bound to be holly contested.
True. the treasury does have avail
2ble a S2.O00O00,000 sterilization
fund. and scarcely anyone is sure eN-
actly how far that fund can and
can't be manipulated. Possibly Brit
tain can be given the benefit OF some
of il, without calling it technically
an extension of credit. But the trou-
bic is that Britain won't be salts
fled with a mere measly two billions.
Either the Johnson and neutrality
laws will have to be doctored or the
sterilization fund will have to be
greatly Sweetened to meet John
Bulls necessities.
Besides, the stabiiizatlon fund al
ready has been considerably dipped
into. Only the other day a deal was
framed up to take $50, 100000 out OF

Export banks to contribute
a like amount-altogether SlOO,0OO,-

Where Is Money Going:
But how can we be sure the Ar
grentinos won't spent this Doodle IN

own? This question was asked OF
Secretary Morgenthau. His answer
was that he has every confidence IN

BY BARBARA BELL.

An unusually distinctive, and
usually expensive, afternoon fashion
for women's sizes is duplicated for
you in this easy design-No. 1923.
The skirt is slim-hipped, graceful
and circular. The bodice, buttoned
down the front, is trimmed with
soft ruffies that halt at the shoul-
ders and waistline, because they're
more slenderizing that way.
This design gives you a choice OF
two different sleeves, each made
with a cluster of shirring at the top.
One hangs straight from the smart
wide shoulders; the other is your IA
vorite capelet style, so cool In hot
weather and so graceful always. Soft
materials are prettiest for this style
-georgette, chiffon, silk print, voile
and handkerchief linen. Step-by-
step sew chart included.
Pattern No. 1923 is designed for
sizes "a, SO, SO, 40, a, A. IS and 4s.
Size SO requires ~ yards Of 39-inch
material without nap for either
sleeve style; AZ yards Of lace.
