MAJOR PROPOSALS

Distin said today that several
ma inr PROPOSALS snch-as-th -plan
to divide Detroit into legislative
districts, may not be possible with
out a constitutional convention.
But he said there are other steps
so obviously necessary that oppo-
Sition is not expected.
Among immediate possibilities is
a law directing election officials to
list all questions on the ballot in
less than 100 words each. instead
of printing them in full.

the state ballot submitting the

The beast is stirring In his

In rage his roaring

War has come again."
The voice Of youth drowns
out the ghosts-youth,
0ullible and rash,
So fired by the glamour and
the martial 0irs that

Alas! For youth. that can

Dear Sir:
MOST of the English people do

of the American people do not APP
prove Of advancing future credits
to tho British Empire without
some fss@ of collateral that IL
moro substantial than bonds.
My thought Is to lump the past
l914-19I9 Indebtedness OF five bill
lion dollars together with a new
advance credit Of five billion dol
lars, this total ten-billion dollar
indebtedness to be secured by a
hrst mortgage on such OF Eng
lands Western Hemisphere pos
sessions IL Is mutually agreed will
equal or exceed the value OF the
loan. This to be a fifty-year loan
with no interest charges.
Some OF the arguments in favor
OF this deal TO the English people
are:
England Is not losing title or
i sovereignty to these pos
sessions.
0-If 200 million doliars is an
& nualiy ear-msrted in their
budget, at the ed Of the 50-year
period, or soonss n larger appro-
priations are lnade, these pos
sessions can be redeemed.
"a new generation would have
- the right to decide whether
or not England needed these pos
sessions Mt the end of the fifty
year period. II at any time dur
ing the fifty-year period. the Brit
ish people decided they did not
wish to retain these possessions,
tho agreement with the United
states would be- that America
would accept possession OF this

SHOWER OF DEATH

SHOWER OF DEATH
Incendiaries. oil bombs and high
explosives were dropped over Lon.
don in veritable showers during
the raid. Resorting to new tao
tics after the Christmas truce, the
German air force carried out a
concentrated attack of compare
lively short duration instead of
an all-night raid.
The raid was over by IL p. m,
but prior to that hour the attack
was carried out with terrific in
tensity.
Many casualties were feared to
have occurred in an underground
shelter beneath a large block of
workmen's apartment houses in
one district of London. Only IL
people had been brought out of
the ruins alive up to an early hour
this morning.
Newspapers today were blaming
the Slackness of the public for the
fact casualties were so heavy last
night.
PUBLIC BLAMED
The papers claimed the public,
after the safety of the Christmas
truce. was tardy in taking shelter
and that many who were caught
in the street by explosions. would
have been safely underground if
they had not been lulled into a
sense of false security by three
blitzless nights.
Meanwhile. it was announced
that the British air force had
carried out another strong night

 FEET AND LEGS
 Look for q beach bag (practi- cally every manufacturer of cos metics makes one) which contains comb, face powder and lipstick, as well as sunburn preventive, Make sure that 1t has ample extra space to hold your own nall polish, hand lotion and whatever else you need for making up in the locker room after dip in the surf. And always keep one pair of sun glasses in the bag.
 While in an "I'll get the most out of thls summer" mood, don't forget that the appearance of your feet and legs is every bit as important as the appearance of your hands and arms. Have pedicures as well as manicures. Don't tolerate super fluous hair on the legs. Gncident- ally, there's an odofless cream de- pilatory on the fnarket0
 If you think that pedicures are too much trouble, or perhaps en- tirely too frivolous from your veiw- point on beauty, remind yourself that beautiful feet are comfortable feet and have pedlcures in the name of comfort If for no other reason. Get at least one from profession al and learn how toenails should be cut, calouses removed and polish applied before you go to work on your feet yourself.
 You'll learn, for instance, that n callous should be rubbed gent- ly for q minute or two with moist pumice stone-and the treatment repeated every second day unit the callous disappears.

 Often some personality maladjust- ment, say psychologists. Real life fears may be to blame for your dream bogles, You must banish your timidlty, adopt a bolder attitude in daily living.
 Indeed, when you understand dream symbols and Images you find that nearly all your dreams have messages for you-~often serious ones. Some foolish dream may re- veal secret desire buried in your subconsclous, q desire dangerous to | ignore.
 Do you dream of flying airily through space? Possibly in life you have responsibilities too heavy for you. You need respite from them once in a while.
 To dream of appearing in public without your clothes indicates a modest retiring nature-even per- haps, a tendency to be too easily embarrassed A snake in your dreams? Beware of unruly emotions
