Halloween provides good excuse
for an unusual party. The theme
you may select should be the basis
around which the party is built.
"Black Magic Party" "The Haunt
ed House," Buried Treasure Hunt"
''The Witches Rendezvous, 'The
Ghosts Gambol" are all suggestive
names for the party you may be
planning for All Hallows' eve.
A Halloween party without deco
rations just isn't party. They
may be so simple that it takes very
little time to put them up; pump
kins, cornstalks, and lighted jack
o'-lanterns. Or you may decorate
with witches, owls, black and or
ange crepe paper steamers, black
and gray crepe paper moss dripping
from the ceilings, or ghosts standing
in spooky corners with eerie lights
thrown upon them.
The invitations should, of course,
be indicative of the type of party
you are giving.
"On Halloween the ghosts will
dance,
The gnomes and COLLINS will sing
and prance;
So don your masks and costumes
gay,
To the Haunted House be on your
way.
The door will be open till the clock
tolls eight,
So take my advice and don't be
late"
In keeping with Halloween we
must not forget the traditional
games and pranks. The chamber

BY DREW PEARSON
and ROBERT ALLEN

WASHNGTON.-A long series Of
backstage conversations, some IN
formal, some obscure, have preced-
ed the European peace trip Of Under
secretary Of State Welles.
Some have been carried on by
accredited diplomats, some by pure
" unofficial ENJOYS, and some actu-
ally have got into the state depart
ments hair. Here is a description
Of one confidential peace overture
In which the President was interest
ed, which also throws light on the
Roosevelt row with John L. Lewis.
In late September, about three
weeks after war broke, w. R. Davis,
the international oil man, was visit
ing with John L. Lewis and Walter
Jones Of Pittsburgh in the latter's
apartment, and told of various con-
versations he had had with Hitler.
Davis had been selling Mexican
oil to Germany, was intimate with
high-placed Nazis, and told of their
ideas for permanent European
peace.
II think the President ought to
know about this" remarked John L.
Lewis, and went into an anteroom
where he called the President. He
had no difficulty getting him, and
said: "Mr. President, there's a
man here ! think you ought to see.
He's got some important ideas on
the war"
So Roosevelt made an appoint
ment.
British Secret Service.
When Davis arrived at the White
House he was introduced to Adolf
Berle, assistant secretary Of state,
and noticed, during his conversation
with Roosevelt, that Berle was busy
taking notes.
This caused Davis to protest 81
thought this was to be confiden-
tial conversation between you and
me-"
''Oh, Adolf's all right" and the
President brushed the protest aside.
In the end, Roosevelt suggested
that Davis fly back to Germany, get
any concrete peace proposals which
Hitler might have, and report back.
So Davis caught the Clipper for
Portugal. The first stop was Ber-
muda, where plainclothes man
tapped him on the shoulder and
said: Come along with me. I'd
like to talk to you"
He turned out to be member Of
the British secret service, who
warned Davis to 60 back to the
United States or else his passport
would be lifted. He seemed to know

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Felt hats can be cleaned by rub
bling with a not too fresh or TO
stale piece Of bread.
Sew several thicknesses Of Old
turkish towel together for hot dish
or pot holders.
Carving lamb roasts Is much
easier II they have been boned and
tied before cooking.
Save soap scraps, all Of them.
Put into a pan and cover with
cold water; simmer until every bit
is melted and the liquid is clear.
Put in a jar and keep near sink.
1t will set into a jelly.
Threading curtains on to their
rods again after washing is diff
cult-and If they are thin the blunt
end Of the rod may tear them.
Avoid this by fitting a smooth
thimble over the end of the rod be-
fore threading.
French fried potatoes win be
more crisp if allowed to stand in
cold water for half an hour be-
fore frying.
Kitchens should be cheerful and
comfortable as well as convenient.
A high stool is an aid to comfort
in preparing vegetables or mixing
ingredients. An attractive corner
where the homemaker can sit and
read over new recipe, make out
her order list of groceries or wait
for a dish to finish cooking adds
considerably to a comfortable
kitchen.

That feeling became so bitter that in
parts Of Mr.. Wilson'S inner circle,
they ran the colonel's name and IT,
tie together in pronouncing and FOR
got the ''h" in his surname.
There is no danger of that kind of
result here. Mr.. Roosevelt has no

Of rather snooty Groton-Harvard

anything not authorized by his boss.
II we get mired in European mud

That the boss has reached such

all about the Davis peace trip.
However, Davis raised such q fuss
that he was finally allowed to pro-
coed - though not until after the
Clipper had been kept "a hours in
Bermuda waiting for him.
From that point on, the British
did everything possible to handicap
Davis, even canceling his passage
from Portugal so that he had to
take plane to Morocco and thence
on to Germany. But at last Davis
got to Berlin, interviewed the high
est Nazi leaders, and flew back to
the United States, arriving in late
October.
With him he carried several long,
closely written pages in German,
giving the ideas on which Hitler
was willing to discuss peace.
American Detectives.
Davis took an apartment in the
Mayf1ower and began to translate
the document. Then, suddenly, he
discovered two men sitting outside
his door. They were Omen.
At this point Walter Jones, close
friend of Davis, went to the man.
agement to complain. There he dis
covered that not merely two G.
men, but five were in the hotel, and
that they had trailed Davis from
the moment he registered. Appar-
emily the British secret service and
the justice department were work
ing closely together-and neither for
peace.
A day or so later, Davis presented
the German peace plan orally to
Berle for transmission to the Presi-
dent. Present also was Walter
Jones, but no one else. It was en-
phasized that the entire CONVERSE
ton was strictly confidential.
This was at noon. Later that day
Davis and Jones motored to Har-
risburg, Pa, where q phone call
from Washington reached them-a
query from q newspaper man.
The state department tells me
that you and W. r. Davis have
brought peace proposal from Ger

lis, now seven years old. Bud would
have liked other children, I know,
but Gladys has made herself a regu-
lar martyr for having had one. He
still praises her and pets her for
going through that ordeal, for his
sake
Seldom Sees Granddaughter.
Little Phyllis has colored girl
for nurse, and even when she was
quite baby she would be banished
by her mother to the nurses compa-
ny; rules were rules and hours were
hours, and no matter how much
spelling Bud lavished on his wife,
the baby was not to be spoiled. She
is an exquisite child, but I almost
never see her. II I offer to take her
for Saturday there is always some
other plan, and Gladys thanks me
and hangs up the telephone and
that's that.
Buds wife spends much too
much money, is very extravagant,
drags him to parties when he should
be sleeping, refuses social connec-
tons that would be valuable to his
business, and altogether does all she
can to wreck his life. And I have
to stand by and see all my hopes for
him disappointed, see him missing
other high possibilities that might
have been his, all for this woman.
No, there is no quarrel between US,
but if he ever quotes to her my &C.
casional-my very rare-advice to
him, she must know perfectly well
what l think of her."
I wouldn't quote this letter il it
were not typical of many. To this
dissatisfied mother and many an
other ! can say only that no one of
us, no matter how clever. can form
the slightest idea of what happiness
or unhappiness, what hopes or fears
compose our children's lives. Bud
may be completely happy with his
Gladys. Gladys may secretly adore
her small child, and only put on the
stern Indifferent manner to madden
Buds everlastingly fussy mother.
Discipline may be the thing that
will give little Phyllis a fine unself-
ish character as she grows up.
Mother Should Keep Out.
Only time will bring the answer.
But the one thing that loving, fear.
full, jealous motherhood won't allow
is time. Bud belonged entirely to
his mother for a few happy years;
she is not strong enough nor wise
enough to admit that those years
are gone. BY criticism and inter-
ference she has lost whatever infiu-
ence she might have had upon Glad
ys, and destroyed whatever affec-
ton might have grown between
| them.
What she ought to do now Is KEEP
OUT. Let them alone. And Il she
really yearns 70 be q good grand
mother to some small girl. let her
