Switzerland has had enough of
Communist plotting. Long noted as
one of the most free and most demo-
cratic nations of the world, Switzer-
land has finally come to the conclu-
sion that movements which would
speedily suppress all opposition if they
came to power can no longer be al
lowed free hand by government
which wishes to preserves the liber-
ties of its citizens.
So the Swiss Federal Council has
prohibited Communist, Trotsky-ist and
anarchist activity and decreed three
year prison terms and heavy fines for
all violations of the decree.
Certain cantons had already barred
the left extremists but the Federal
Councils action was the first move at
suppressing them throughout the ma
ton.
Informed sources close to the gov
ernment declared there had been IAN
increase of Communist propaganda
carried on by methods which more and
more approach those of conspirators. I"

Marked alterations in the fiscal pro-
files of most of the great nations have
been caused by the present war, an
analysis by the Federation of Tax Ad-
ministrators showed. While the effect
has been most pronounced in the ma

States budget also has been affected
by rapidly increasing defense prep
arations.

So no unfair thin~ I'll demand;
And may my life so rightful be,
That they might safely follow me.

And watch the actions l display,
Their plastic minds | surely mold
AS they, my daily life Behold,
And oh, | hope for all

And may I never fail to know
That as I teach them so they GO,

And may those seeds be fire and

PLAY UP TO MASCULINE EGO

Men, so the saying goes, like
women to be feminine. So regard
less of your fondness for tailored
clothes, sweaters and skirts, and the
like. have at least one or two friuy
dresses to wear when you set out to
trap your victim. And even if you
can hold down a good job and take
care of yourself in fine fashion, be
a bit helpless and dependent when
I you are with the man of the mo-
ment.
He'll soon fall in love with you
if you make him feel big and
strong and protective. And don't
outsmart him in anything. Whether
1t be athletics or a game of wits.
Men like women to be intelligent,
but they still want to feel superior
All of which adds up to the fact
that you must play up to the mas
culine ego, and the cleverer you are,
the simpler you will appear.

By MARIE DOWNING

This is leap year and so you are
allowed free rein in the pursuit Oh

day and age waits for leap year or
Sadie Hawkins day to go out and
get her man, but leap year shoulu
give added incentive not to let All
other year go by without having
something to show for it.
Even in leap year, however, the
huntress should not show her IN
tent too plainly, A little subtlety
goes long way TOWARD ensnaring
the victim Of the chase. You have
heard the old theory that a man
likes to be pursued only if he feels
in his heart that he is the aggres-
sor. SO rather than encourage you
to 60 out and stalk your prey toe

try the subtler methods of gain
