Our historical journey this week
will lake us to CAMBRIDGE. This
town was settled in 1880 and called
NEWE TOWNE. Harvard College
was founded in 1851. 1t is the seat of
Radcliffe College and the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology. Among
the many interesting places to see
are; Christ Church, Cooper-Austin

visit MEDFORD.
Thought for the Week-Smile more
often. Make it habit on leaving your
nome in the morning to greet your
nelghbors with a smile. Not that YOU
1eeI so cheerful but in smiling YOU
create a feeling of good fellowship
When someone unburdens his woes on
your shoulder listen with a smile and
Keep smiling while giving him word
OF encouragement. Chances are he
knows you have troubles, too, and by
your actions make him stop and think
mat probably his troubles aren't 50
bad after all. A smile very often
works miracles. Observe your friends
and nelghbors when you smile. The
gum person begins to grin; the sad
person begins to perk up and the in
uHerent person begins to smile.

Background Dress
Is Best in COlors

Because they combine with so
many other fabrics, satins or
smooth-surfaced crepes seem to be
the most successful materials for
the background dress for evening
wear. With a satin background
dress one can wear jacket or bolero
tops in crepes, wool, velvet, fringe,
feathers, marabou or beads. Dark,
rich shades of satin-garnet red,
deep sapphire, pine green-are
smartest; or, in a light shade, gold.

WHAT A SMILE CAN Do

l have known a smile to transform
an ugly face into a pretty one and a
frown to change the lovliest face into
a repuIsive one. Sit before your mir
row my dear seeker after beauty and
try out this formula for beauty. Scowl
and frown-then note the effect now
smile and behold-you at once become
attractive

CITY REGISTRAR
 HALTS VACATION
So Many Marriage Li- censes Asked in Boston,
 He Stayed at Home

Boston, July s0.-(uP)-City Registrar James A. Burke today cancelled his vacation as result of a rush of Boston couples for mar riage licenses in record numbers, even surpassing the 1917 crowds.
 A total l15 couples filed intentions yesterday, compared with the prevt- ous one-day high of 102 set in the spring of 1917. Burke said 99 of the prospective bridegrooms were between q and 30. the military training conscription ages.
 The registrars records showed 46 couples sought licenses July 29, 1889 while the average day in July last year saw "A to 34 couples filing.
 So far this year 5,l32 couples have applied, compared with 4,724 8 year ago. A total 914 have applied during July, compared with 727 the cor responding 1899 period.
 The rush for licenses did not ap- pear general throughout Metropoli- tan Boston. Cambridge reported 25 couples filed yesterday compared with an average of 10 for each day in July 1a39. Slight increases were reported in Quincy and Newton, but most other communities reported normal filings or decreases.

 Rep. Paul W. shafer. R, Mich, issented.
 '"rhe President will have to be much more specific than he has been before I would approve suchc a request" he commented. T would like to know what will be one with the national guard. where it will be kept and why 1t is necessary. There is no reason for it that I can see. It is just another means by which the President is trying to perpetu- ate the hysteria for which he is re- sponSible."
 If approved by Congress, the cost of mobilizing the guard and reserves probably would come out of $200,- 100000 vote recently to MT. Roose- welt to use as he sees fit in bolster ing the national defense. May said that 8 efficiency appropriation could be sought to pay the rest. MT. Roosevelt said that the "se- curity of the nation" demands that the guard "be brought to the high est possible state of training effi- ciency more rapidly than its present program permits" If granted the authority. he said, he will order the guard to duty in successive increments to permit the effective use of available training facilities and equipment. When the guardsmen have attained the deSir- ed state of efficiency. they will be released.

GHOST WITNESS

Los Angeles, July 30-(UP)-Sho- sha, the ghost, apparently isn't going to come to court and speak for himself, so Mrs. Lillian Boyce today reads passages from a diary she kept when he was her teacher" !"
 Dr. William A. Boyce, who is con- testing her suit for divorce, says that Sho-Sha (short for Shetland Shai- mond became her soul mate and won her love.
 Since two deputy sheriffs looked for Sho-Sha three days and couldn't find him to serve summons, he now is liable to contempt of court pro- ceedings. Max Groman, a deputy sheriff, remained in the back of the court room yesterday, a subpoena in his pocket in case the ghost should appear.

 washington. July so-(uPl-Ad- ministration congressional leaders predicted quick approval today of legislation that will permit Presi- dent Roosevelt to mobilize 320,000 national guardsmen and reseryists for extensive training in modern warfare.
 But opposition to the Burke Wadsworth compulsory military training bill seemed to be increas- ing.
 Chairman Andrew J. May, D., Ky, of the house military affairs com- mittee, said that he probably would ask authority from the House Rules Committee to amend a pending bill relating to the national guard, to give MT. Roosevelt power to caH reservists for service on this contin- ent, American possessions and the Panama Canal zone. This would permit faster action than 3 separ- ate bil lwould.
 MT. Rooseyelt,s proposal was ac- companied by 8 bill His authority would expire June 30, ls42. He con- template calling the men for a per- 10 of training not to excee one year. They would be sent to any point m the Western Hemisphere and united States Pacific Islan outpoSts, tn- cluding the Philippines.
 Committee May Approve
 The Senate military affairs com 'mittee prepare to approve -perhaps today--the Burke -Wadsworth com, pulsory military training bill which would require 42,0o0, 900 Americans to register for some form or military duty.
 Opponents, including Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg, R., Mich., ClO President John L. Lewis and Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mong. m tensified their attacks.
 Committee approval was certain although at least two members VII vote against it. They are Sens. Er- nest Lundeen, FL. Minn, and Ed- win c. Johnson, D., Colo.
 Senate Democratic leader Alben ". Barkley will confer sometime to- day with minority leader Charles |. NdcNary and chairman Morris Shep- par, D., Tex, of the senate military affairs committee, to fix 6 time Tor floor consideration.
 Sheppard had hoped to bring 1t up for debate tomorrow, but Barkley accede to McNary's desire to postpone debate until next Monday on the ground that delay would give the entire Senate time to study the final draft.

 AT GIBRALTAR

La Linea, Spain, July 30 - (uP0 --More than 2e casualties were list ed today as result of a mysterious explosion which shook Gibraltar yesterday, It was known that at least three persons were killed.
 The explosion occurred shortly after refugees had departed on a boat bound for England.
 Informed sources here said that one of the direct consequences of the British attack on the French fleet of Gran, Olgeria, had been to leave Gibraltar without French meat. Until French British relations weer strained, French Morocco had been Gibraltar'S chief source of meat. In addition, 1t was learned that Gibraltar's food supplies had been consumed much more rapidly than officials figured as a result of the unexpected arrival Of British refugees from French Morocco, after the Gran battle.

SCOv|LL UNION ASKS INCREASE
Torrington Brass, Three Others to Begin Confer
 ences Next Month

Torrington. July 30-Local 423, IUMM&SW, of the Torrington branch of American Brass CO, will join with four other Connecticut brass unions and submit a proposal to company officials for 10 per cent wage increase to employees. The date when negotiations between company and union will start was not announced by union officials Monday but 1t is believed that con- ferences to iscuss this question will begin late next month after the thirty seventh annual Mine, NH and Smelter Workers convention which will open in Denver, Colo, August 5, since a number of lead- ing union officials from this state will be away the duration of the convention.
 The union demand of a wage in- crease comes seven months after a contract between company and union which gave employees an irl- crease in pay and paid vacations was signed. The contract was agreed upon at that time after a strike vote was taken by union members.
 Defending their request for 2 wage increase, union officials said that the brass mill is devoting It. self almost entirely to government ordres and therefore plays an i'm portant part in the national de- fense program. They further said that they believe that workers who pay for a major portion of this program through increased taxes should have more money to meet the higher costs of living.
 Other unions that will seek simi- lar increases are at the Waterbury tnd Ansonia branches of American Brass Company, the Scovill Manu- featuring Com pany, Bridgeport
