Our guess is that when it comes
to the matter of getting involved in
the present war the Monroe Doc
trine is a greater potential danger
than is any aid we might advance
the Allies. The Monroe Doctrine
provides that if any foreign power
invades or attacks any country in
the Western Hemisphere we are
pledged to help drive out the invad-
er. Radical isolationists should 60
all the way. Rather than merely
protest against sending aid to the
Allies, if they wish to be consistent,
they should champion the repudi-
alton of the Monroe Doctrine.

In our opinion the discipline alone
would Justify the existence of the
universal compulsory military train
ing. A lot of things change with
the years but discipline, like the
other time honored virtues OF
thrift, and honesty, and industry,
and sobriety, are still desirable
qualities in a young man. Unfor-
tunately in too many homes today
the proper parental restraint is not
imposed especially in the matter of
discipline. incidentally discipline
is the most valuable training that a
young man can have. 1t contributes
materially to success in any line of
business.

The predictions are, that Ger
many, in the apparent lull in hos
tilities, is really getting ready to
launch a bombing war against
Britain. When it comes it will be
unlike anything that has ever oc-
Cured before IF it fails to break
Britain, Hitler's cause is lost. If
Britain can survive Hitler's air raid
the magic spell of Hitler will have
been broken.

We heard a man yesterday COM
planning that the government would
not permit him to own gold. We ask
ed him much gold he wanted to
own. He said he didn't want to
own any but didn't like to be told
he couldn't own some if he wanted
to. Come to think of it we have
no desire to own any gold either,
In the days before its ownership
was declared illegal we recall that
whenever we got a five dollar gold
piece in change we always passed it
out as soon as we could for fear we
would mistake it for a nickel.

THE DEADLY PARALLEL.

In THE Betrayal of France"
Hartley W. Barclay summarizes the
causes of that nations collapse as
follows:
1. The French Popular Front pro-
NOTED centralized planned economy.
2. The Popular Front assumed
that prosperity could be achieved
by heavy governmental expendi-
lures.
8. It harassed and restricted prl-
waite enterprise and nationalzed
many varieties of production.
4. 1t introduced control of prices.
5. 1t reduced working hours and
increased wages excessively.
6. It unbalanced the budget-kept
it unbalanced - financed govern
ment works by excessive borrowing
and piled up a hopeless govern
mental deficit.
2. 1t revalued the currency and
deprecated it.
8. 1t brought about a lowered
standard of living.
9. It destroyed the morale OF in
dustry and science.
10. 1t made adequate national de-
Tense impossible of attainment and
paved the way to Hitler's success.
Are not the above policies exactly
those of Americas New Deal? Is it
any wonder that minister OF the
present French cabinet warns the
United States that it is following
France down the road to ruin?

As a usual thing, the end Of the
year is the time to look back and
see what has been accomplished.
But so many things have happened
in the way of progress in Kenne-
wick this year, that it isn't a waste
of time to recount them briefly.
Preparation of publicity for the
chamber of commerce brings to light
several interesting features con-
corning the community. For in
stance Is new houses have been
built in Kennewick this year and as
many more have been modernized.
Five new industries have been start
ed in the community and much i'm
provement work done on instltu-
lions already here. Work Is pro-
crossing on the river development,
ON the high line project and pros
poets are increasingly brighter for
the construction of the Pillsbury
mill. With the latter actually in
operation and the development of
2O.O00-odd additional acres of farm
land this town will sure be going
places. The new golf course is at
tracing an increasingly large num-
Der of players, including out-of-
towners who all spent money in the
community every time they come to
town. Street improvement work is
to be undertaken next week to add
to the appearance and convenience.
With Kennewick's diversified crops
making market from April to De-
cember it's no wonder this is the
best little town in the state.

Revival of Shawls,
Parasols Is Staged
Designers Dip Into Past to
Make Style News.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Fashion is holding a series of
dramatically staged revivals. Who
would a thought that in this day
and generation such has beens as
shawls and parasols and aprons
would be making first-page fashion
news. 1t is exactly what is happen
ing right before the very eyes of us
moderns. It's a fact, here they are
shawls, parasols and aprons
brought into the spotlight with all
the fuss and furore and dramatics
and creative genius designers can
command.
Shawls with fringe all around in
the good old-fashioned way
imagine! Not, however, the huge
old-style bulky specimens but the
most fascinating squares and TRAN
giles often of self-fabric to match the
dress or if you prefer, contrasting
wool or silk or any fabric fancy die
tates. Consider the charm of a
square or a triangle of flaming red
crepe heavily fringed in match
ing red thrown about the shoulders
of fair debutante wearing one of
the now-so-stylish black summer
sheers. Charming too, worn over
the new red and white prints! Or
fancy if you will the swank of a
self-tweed yarn-fringed shawl to
take along on weekend trips should
an extra wrap be needed with your
tweed suit.
AS for parasols the latest is to say
it in an ensemble of parasol, hat and
gown made of quaint figured dimity
or a gay flowery print, silk or stun
ming washable cottons or linens or
rayon weaves. 1t is a pretty
thought, this of ensembling that has
so taken possession of the fashion
world at large this season. For
your costume to say style at a
glance some one item must match
some one other item as for instance
gloves made of same material as
your hat or gloves matched to belts
and so on as extreme as your en-
thusiasm for matching may
carry you.

BEAUTY HINTS
Supple Joints
By Nina Temple

Supple Joints
After a certain age women begin to
lose the fleXibility of their Joints.
They do not walk with the elastic
spring of youth. But, with massage
and exercise, joints may be kept in
fine condition and a woman of fifty
can walk with the grace of fifteen. So
watch your joints if you want to walk
young.
Keeping Your Face Shapely
To keep your face shapely, or in
other words, your contour, you must
be mindful of that line from chin to
ear along the jaw, it must be kept
clear cut and clean. No sagging flesh
should mar that line. If you will satu-
rate pad of absorbent cotton in ice
cold astringent lotion and tie this
tightly under the jaw by chin strap.
You will be able to keep this positive
line Of beauty and youth that all
women prize.
Take Good Look at Yourself

charm lies in her cleanliness. Take
good look at yourself before YOU 90

tan, she will win the admiring chances

WARM WEATHER CLOTHES

With the first scorching rays of the
sun, we all rush frantically to the
closet and drag out what remains of
last summers wear, groan inwardly
or aloud, clap our hats on our heads
and set out in quest of some cool
clothes. Unfortunately, that's Just
about the system we do use when
caught short by the first hot days. But
those of US who buy our summer
wardrobe in haste, have a good three
months to wilt and repent our thought
less purchases.
Choose Washable Materials
Unquestionably, the first requisite
of summer dress is comfort. There
are so many attractive wash materi-
ais on the market today, so MANY
dainty-looking sheers, that there is no
reason why the modern woman
should suffer from the heat undulv.
Unless economy is no concern of
yours, be sure that the materials YOU
choose are washable. The heat being
what it is, few of us can wear dress
more than one day without Tubing.
1t is my conviction that cottons. linens
and allied materials are cooler than
Silks, but if you have a preference for
silks, there are plenty of pretty, cool
looking washable silks. The girl who
starts out her day in dress freshly
washed and starched feels better able
to cope with the problems before her
than if she is worried about whether
she looks a bit limp and dragged be-
fore the day has gotten under way.
Another important factor to con-
slider in selecting your summer ward
robe is whether the fabric will hold up
throughout hard day without looking
too limp and mussed. Printed
dresses, as a rule, show muss less
than solid colors, and colors look less

Don't Wear Snug Dresses in

Another thing to remember is not
to have your summer frocks fitted too
closely. Don't think that l advocate

breezes that come your way.
In recent years cotton under
clothes have come into vogue for sum-
mer wear and they are boon to the
busy woman. Cotton slips are less
clinging than silk ones and they are
easier to wash and iron. Comfortable
shoes, too, go far toward helping you
through a trying summer. It's not
necessary to get them too large, but
you will often find that your feet are
more comfortable in a size wider than
you are accustomed to wear in winter.
Remember that comfort and utility
are of prime Importance in summer.
Beauty in summer depends to a great
extent on cleanliness. If your hot
weather frocks are easily tubable and

dress has been so successfully
launched, designers are all astir de-
veloping the wealth of possibilities
offered in this new and fascinating
fashion trend.
Describing the daytime frock
shown to the left in the illustration,
it is made of a red, white and black
polka dot silk print, which has an
interesting border design, as have
so many of the newer prints this
season. The "off-again-on-again"
apron front is accented with the
wide silk bordering. For moments
of lesser social importance whisk
the apron front off and you have a
gown simply and tastefully styled
for the more practical moments of
the day.
Mousseline in a new shade of lu-
minous blue is posed over a taffeta
slip to create the enchanting bout
FAINT evening gown pictured to the
right. The same lowered lace that
creates the youthful short-sleeved
bolero outlines the trick apron,
which may be removable or not as
you please.
Garden party dresses of organdy
and the new sheer seersucker and
prettily lowered dimities are taking
on these quaint little tie-on aprons
more or less beruffled with self-fab-
ric or with lace and ribbon-run bead
ing in endless variety.
The apron idea invites all sorts
of decorative touches in way of en-
broidery beadwork and applique.
Perfectly charming aprons have
hand-painted fiorals which gives the
amateur artist a chance to do some
very clever things. Another sugges-
ton worth trying out is to applique
little ribbon bowknots at strategic
points. Insets of lace butterflies is
another thought rich with possibili-
ties.
