1t will be good news to all you
young collegiates and petite career
girls that you can easily make your
self just about the best-looking run
about and sports outfit that ever you
saw. by using this simple design, No.
1220-B. OF course you needn't be
told how useful and attractive is this
duo, for dashing about the campus
and for country week ends. And
you'll notice that this particular pat
tern gives you exactly the right blend
of tailored precision and casual nom
chalance. Sports styles like this,
however offhand in effect, have to
be very, very well cut, or they don't
look right. And very. very we'll cut
is just what you'll find this to be!
The square-shouldered, boxy jacket
has an action-pleat in the back, to
give it the right swung. Double
breasted, it buttons straight up to
the throat, and is finished with a
narrow turnover collar. Two big
patch pockets are splashed onto the
front. You can wear the hood or
not, just as you like, because it's
detachable. But be assured 1t adds
a potent touch of glamour when you
pull it up over your curls, or even
when it hangs down your back. The
skirt is perfect tailored type,
just sufficiently flaring for walking
comfort. You can wear both shorty
and skirt with other things, which
fact. of course, doubles their useful
ness.
You need have no hesitancy about
tackling this design, because it's
easy, and includes step-by-step
sew chart to guide you. Choose
luscious, superb quality woods for
this; you can afford them when you
save money by making your own.
Clan plaids, tweed, suede cloth, f1eecy
woods and flannel are smart for it,
in colors as rich and vibrant as the
panorama of football stadium.

Capital Store Sales
Surpass Last Year
And Previous Week
Shorp Gains Reported
By Richmond Bank
In Latest. Review
By EDWARD C. STONE.

Sharp advances in department
store sales in Washington for the
week ending July 13 were reported
today by the Federal Reserve Bank
of Richmond. Retail sales here
scored gain of 81 per cent over
the week ending July Is, 1889, the
report said, and at the same time
were 1853 per cent above the pre-
=. vious week this year.
Sales in the Capital were ahead of
the average gain of per cent in
the whole fifth district over last
year. The fifth district increase of
Is per cent over the previous week
was practically the same as WASH
ington. Baltimore had per cent
increase over last year and 18 per
cent over the previous week this
year.
In the four weeks ended July 13
sales in the Capital ran 12.5 per cent
ahead Of the corresponding period a
year ago. In this period fifth dis
trict sales were up IL per cent.
Baltimore sales 12.i per cent and
business in a group of other cities
2.8 per cent, the Richmond review
stated.
The increase over the previous
week were partly accounted for by
the July holiday in the earlier
period.

Stock Leaders Drift

Traded as Market
Watches Hitler
NEW YORK STOCK, BOND AND
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. July 20.-The buy
ing urge again was Too feeble to
count for much in today's stock
market and leading issues generally
followed a narrowly irregular lower
route.
Price changes, on the whole, how
ever, were meaningless because OF
the continued slackness of dealings.
The turnover of about 130, 600 shares
was one of the smallest for a Satur-
day IN more than a year.
Some Wall Street observers
thought Hitler might quickly put
into effect his threatened smash at
England if the latter refuses to
make peace. Fears of a possible
market shock, If the British failed
to hold, 1t was said, kept many
traders in the safety zone.
With most eyes centered on the
foreign picture, domestic business
and politics came in for only mild
attention.
On the off side fractions to a point
or so during most of the proceedings
were Bethlehem, Chrysler, United
Aircraft, Montgomery Ward, East
man Kodak, Union Carbide, Loft,
American Telephone, International
Nickel and Pennsylvania.
Up bit at one time or another
were United States Steel, Goodyear,
Woolworth, Du Pont, General Elec-
trio, Kennecott, Standard Oil of
New Jersey and Consolidated Edison.
Those watching the steels noted
forecasts next weeks mill opera
tions might register a modest in
crease above present high levels. At
Pittsburgh, though, heavy melting
steel scrap was cut so cents a ton.

There is no excuse for boastlng

lean owned and operated unless
YOU seek to set our American cit
liens apart. You then become al
lied with undemocratic forces and
are definitely un-American.
The 'native" Americans are the
Indians who were here when this
country was discovered. All other
citizens either came here because
of choice or have descended from
those who did.
AS H. w. Beecher says in the

every man shall be on a level with
every other, but that every one
shall have liberty, without Mn
