vided. Anti-aircraft defenses and
heavy artillery must be produced in
increasing volume and of the most
modern and scientific pattern. The
strength of the Army must be aug
mented and intensified training and
modern equipment must be supplied
to the National Guard and to the
Reserves"
While emphasizing that America
loves peace and international good
will, Senator Connally declared:
1--WE shall arm not for war but
for peace. We must be prepared
to say to any power on earth who
challenges our security or threatens
our safety. We want no war with
you. but If you dare assail US. if
you challenge our institutions. if you
attack our territory, we shall resist
on the sea and under the sea, on the
land and above the land, with a
Navy, with an Army, with an air
fleet unconquerable and irresisti-
ble.'"
Elsewhere in his address Senator
Connally said:
In this dark hour the admoni-
ton of George Washington comes
ringing down to us through more
than century. To be prepared for
war is one of the most effectual
means Of preserving peace
Must Stamp Out Communism"
Earlier Senator Connally said:
This is our America. If it is to
remain our America we must stamp
out and extirpatc Communism and
all the other foreign 'isms' and sub
versive influences which seek to
undermine things American. We
shall tolerate neither the fifth COL
umn' nor the espionage nor the
sabotage of foreign agents nor the
treachery of any domestic influence
or group. This is our America. 1t
shall remain our America"
Bishop Freeman in his address
suggested that no expressions of
neutrality can get this country's
people away from the fact that they
are bound by the closest of ties to
France and England. Elsewhere in
his address he referred to the west
ern front battle now raging and
said:
This may prove to be one of the
most solemn hours in the history of
the world"
While warning of the Importance
Of moral courage Bishop Freeman
condemned selfishness, which he as
serted may bring this Nation ito the
brink of ruin" He urged that all
rededicate themselves to high prin-
ciples that this Nation shall not
perish from the earth"

colors at the Washington Cathedral
yesterday in memorial services to
war dead
The occasion, a solemn one, was
marked by an address by Senator

President Roosevelt's preparedness
recommendation and described the
United States as peace-loving Ma
ton, but he warned that this coun-
try will never tolerate any aggressor
Nations legions on its shores. He
described the deep-seated traditions

bearing on the world
100 Organizations Represented.
Senator Connally, before the con-
gregation and representatives of
more than 100 patriotic, military
and civic organizations represented
by color bearers and guards who
marched into the amphitheater and
assembled the colors, declared:
I'VE have assembled in this serv-
ice to salute the massed colors and
ensigns of the armed forces of the
republic and the emblems of relig-
ious and civic organizations. It is
an occasion. of dedication of our
spirit and of our resources and of
our might to national patriotism
and national unity in an hour of
peril to the peace of the world and
potential danger to security and
safety of our own people,"
In the folds of the flags, he added
"are written the history of a great
people; in their rustling may be
heard the footsteps of patriot bands

Concord. These standards are COW

at Yorktown, where Washington's S

Triangle Wins
Fame for
Actress
Facial Lines Mark
Lillian Bond a
Rare Beauty
BY John Lear,
Associated Press Stan Writer,

HOLLYWOOD.
The eternal triangle-but not the
one you thinks bringing fame to
lovely Lillian Bond as it did t0 Lily
Langtry a generation ago.
It Is the triangle that forms the
beauty of her face.
It has been identified by Arthur
William Brown, the artist whose
drawings have done much to set
the standard Of glamour for the
women Of his time.
"One feature. and one feature
alone, forms the basis Of all femi-
nine beauty. he said in pointing
out the haunting resemblance be-
tween the golden-haired Lillian and
the Jersey lily she portrays on
the screen In her newest movie,
''The Westerner."
If a woman possesses it, she will
be beautiful after she Is so, and II
she doesn't, her beauty will never
raise her to striking heights.
It's in the Cheekbones.
'This badge of great-glamour,
If you like the words in the struc-
ture of woman's cheekbones. They
must be high and wide, tapering of
through the soft planes of the
cheeks to round, slightly firm
chin"
All great beauties of history were
noted for this facial contour, Mr..
Brown insisted. Jersey Lily
Langtry, whose beauty captured the
imagination of men all over the
world at the turn of the century, was
probably one of the most famous
glamour girls" the world has ever
known, and the basis of her beauty
lay In her cheekbones.
Today. In Miss Bond, HOLLYWOOD
has a young actress who, Brown
feels, is qualified to portray the re-
nowned Lily in "The Westerner.' y
He goes even further.
Both British, Too.
Besides her cheek-to-chin- line. y
he said, Miss Bond has a perfectly
shaped head and an exquisite neck
line.
THAT is real beauty. It is the
characteristic of the gentlewoman
OF refinement: something you are
born with"
Miss Bond has more than that
facial triangle in common with Lily
Langtry. They both were British.

like that of many other young ac-
