TO THE CHILDREN


Away, happy children, away to the
woods,
Away to the pastures, away to the
floods,
Away to the valleys, away to the hills,
To feast where the wild-waking rap
ture enthrills.
The carolling woodlark shall welcome
you there,
The notes of the robin shall Danish
your fear,
Wild flowers with oneness shall glad
den your sight,
The cricket shall warn you the coming
of night.
The gourd and the pumpkin are plan
ming a race,
The melon in season will join in the
chase,
The conscious wild berries are crowd
ing the lea,
All anxiously Fastening the contest
to see.
Go forth to the banquet Dame Nature
affords,
And share of the blessing for mankind
she boards,
Your right to partake it no one can
deny,
The health which it offers no money
can buy.
George R. Margetson.

Pompadour Styles
Fix Hat Fashions

The revival of the pompadour
comes to some of us as a surprise,
but here it is and no mistake, SNUG
gled in under the guise of a group
Of fattering curls or some other
softly arranged couture that is real
" very fattering. If there is one
thing more than another that we are
learning this season it is that the
new hat fashions have to a certain
extent been greatly influenced by
the return of the pompadour.

tail is a thong lacing outlining the
neckline and the invisible slide fast

this dress in any of the new colors.
Part of the glory and romance of
the new suede costumes is that
hats to match are ever available.
You can get a sort of college girl

shops and departments carry both

At least this is what fashion is do
ing, playing on the theme in a way
to dazzle the eye with the novelty
and chic of Stacks and even dresses,
and blouses and jackets made of
suede or other fanciful leather. And
here's where suede comes into it's
own in all its glory, in just such
attractive outfits as the white leath-

cented by studs Of silver. The boots

Cold Jewelry Will
Be Worn This Fall

In spite of the fact that gold Jew
elry has been somewhat out of the
picture for brief spell comes re-
ports to the effect that it has again
come to the fore in the style pic
ture. However, the new gold jewel
ry that will enliven smart black
jersey dresses and those of sheer
woods, is not of the garish spectacu-
lar type. There is exquisite refine
ment expressed in subtle detail and
workmanship in the incoming neck
laces, bracelets, pins, clips and la
pei ornaments.

F YOU have not already been con-
verified into suede way of think
ing, you will when you see the fasci-
mating things designers are doing
with handsome suede for the COM
ing fall and winter. In wide range
OF colorS, never so beautiful, never
SO eXquisitely supple and never be-
fore so versatile for all purposes,
suede has reached the point where
1t is regarded as staple medium
for the making of smart apparel.
No matter from what fashion an
gle the approach is made, suede
qualities as the perfect answer.
There's nothing smarter on the
boards for fall than a coat or a jack
ct, suit or a one-piece dress made
of suede. AS to accessories of suede
the rich colors of suede and its de-
lightsome yield to deft handling is
revealed throughout a whole list of
bags and hats, belts, gloves and
footwear that add the swank touch
to goodlooking costumes.
Women of keen fashion-sense like
suede because it not only has proved
to be dependably Wearable and prac-
teal, but when it comes to color
suede is positively glamorous and
stands in class all its own when
it comes to interpreting a new high
in fashion.
Destined to be adored is the little
boy jacket done in suede as shown
to the left in the illustration. It is
collarless with Slightly padded Shout
ders. 1t boasts of three large patch
pockets. Helen Wood, glamour girl
of 1910 in FINLAND, chooses this
jacket in a gold nugget hue to wear
over a moss green suede dress.
Any school-faring girl will do well
to include in her wardrobe a suede
ensemble after the manner of the
model shown to the right. Here you
see Rosemary De Camp, dramatic
cinema actress, in a one-piece dress
made of porcelain blue suede. Soft

Slanting Grown Is
New Hat Creation

Slanting sideways like the tower
of Pisa is the tall crown Of new
midsummer hat shown by a West
coast designer. This creation is a
position done in cherry red wool.
Its brim is only the merest trife
and into the black headband there
is thrust a tall black feather that
leans the way of the crown.

Feathered Trims
Used in Many WAYS

Feathered trims are used in new
and delicate ways on the hats shown
for summer wear. Tiny curls of
beige ostrich tips cover the crown of
a beige-toned beret. On a brown felt
sailor the brim is faced with brown
ostrich feathers that extend out to
form soft fringe around the edge.

Fringe and Lacing
Decorative Trims

Soft fringe and lacing are two
decorative trims used together on a
pretty pair of white linen shoes
shown by a New York designer. The
shoe is a very high-heeled pump
laced up the toe and down the back
of the shank. The throat of the
pump is edged with a rim of mar
row fringe repeated in a straight
band below each crossed lacing on
the toe.

towel tied around her head during the
heavier part of the cleaning will keep
her hair free from dust and prevent it
from falling in her face and getting
out of wave. Dull, dusty looking hair
is telltale mark of carelessness. Hair
that is naturally lusterless can be i'm
proved immensely by the use of a
reliable brilliantine or hair coloring.
Old cotton gloves worn while dust
ing will keep her nails from cracking
and the dirt from getting under the
nails. Rubber gloves are a boon to
the woman who cooks and washes
dishes. Even the most innocent look
ing potato and carrot has a stain that
leaves its mark on otherwise we'll
groomed hands. They will also save
the polish if your hands are in the
water a great deal and keep your
hands from drying out from frequent
contact with strong soaps. For work
that requires kneeling, two old pot
holders placed inside your stockings
will keep your knees from becoming
sore and rough. These are just few
of the ways in which you can save
yourself. You can think up others as
the need arises.
The world expects you to be per-
petually well-groomed. You have to
work hard to live up to it's expecta-
tions, but, as l have said so many
times, make your beauty routine

AGRICULTURE:
Southern Freeze

Damaging enough to tourist trade
was the cold wave that struck south
ern states in late January. When it
was over, farmers found even more
damage had been done to their
crops. Florida clamped down one
week embargo against citrus ship
ments while inspectors determined
how much damage was done.
"Spies" from California were on
hand to observe the damage. The
agriculture departments marketing
service surveyed damage in both
Texas and Florida, making pre-
liminary report that indicated Sc
we're crop damage but little injury
to trees themselves.
One important announcement came
from the U. S. Sugar corporation,
which reported to stockholders that

CONGRESS:
Solution

One way of postponing crisis is
to run away from it, though the
eventual consequences are usually
worse. After five weeks of wres-
ting with Franklin Roosevelt's budg-
ct, it looked dangerously like con-
gress would try this very strategy
to avoid raising new taxes or IN
creas;ng the national debt limit.
The trouble was, economy had
begged down. Independent offices
appropriations, slashed in the house,
were raised to 1888, 675, 900 in the
senate, making the total bill $685.
O29, 900 under budget estimates but
still $22, 900, 900 more than last year.
The Presidents $788, 929, 900 farm
bill, from which the house appropri-
atoms committee cut $154, 0O0, 900,
went to the senate minus only $685.
928, 900 of the original figure.
To save even this much, Virginia's
Rep. Clifton Woodrum had to fight
a score of dragons. When Presi-
dent Roosevelt commented from
Hyde Park that he didn't like this
sort of indiscriminate economizing,

EUROPE:
No Harm, at BELGRADE

For short and unimportant week
end, Europe's spotlight shifted to
Belgrade. There met ENJOYS of the
Little Entente-Turkey, Rumania,
Yugoslavia and Greece-seeking a
way to keep war out of their back
yard. In their midst were two mall
contents who had territorial claims,
against Rumania, namely, Hungary
and Bulgaria. Others, Germany and
Russia, also looked generously at
Rumania, whose diseases thus be-
came so numerous that she was vir-
tually untouchable. To support her
against these many foes would be
suicide for other Entente members.
But Rumanian Foreign Minister
Grigore Gafencu brought two trump
cards to Belgrade. First was the
threat that Rumania would seek Sc
curity with Russia and Germany
unless the Entente played ball. Sec
ond was the promise of small ter
ritorial concession to Bulgaria, which
meant the Entente could now woo
and win that aloof little nation.

Trouble, Trouble, Trouble!

Any fact reported to Japan's en-
peror is ''irrevocable," hence the
army had no choice this month but
to substantiate a "fact" it had re-
ported in 1882. Chinese Gen. Ma
Chan-shan, hero reported killed in
the 1882 Manchurian invasion, had
popped to life again. The entire
North China army was hunting him.
In Tokyo, 70-year-old Takao Saito
created storm in the diet by charg-
ing Japan has lost 100,0 900 killed and
several hundred thousand wounded
in China. He suggested Nippon had
best withdraw its troops and nego-
tate peace. Highly publicized by
the foreign press much to Japan's
chagrin, the incident was climaxed
when Statesman Saito was asked to
resign from the Minseito party.
The government had still more
trouble. Sweet words have been
exchanged with Russia since Man
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS border Incl
dents ended with truce last Sep
TENDER. There were even rumors
of Soviet-Jap mutual assistance
pact. But suddenly the border
demarcation talks broke down as
Gen. Shunroku Hata charged the
Soviet with "scores of illegal acts"
Sore at everyone (including the
u. S., for abrogating its trade trea-
ty), Nippon promptly stuck its foot
in the mud again by bombing the

railroad, not once, but twice.

AVIATION:
Foreign, Business

Already burdened with airplane
orders from Europe's belligerents,
u. S. manufacturers have a new
customer-Sweden. Just placed is
an order for $50 Vultee attack planes
costing about $4,000, 900. What this
order meant was anybody's guess.
Congress buzzed with rumors that
the planes were really destined for
Finland, but military experts ar
gued that Sweden, next in line for
aggression should the Soviet cap
ture Finland, was bolstering her
own defenses.
Meanwhile Secretary of the Treas
ury Morgenthau gave the first &C.
curate picture of just how big Amer
ica's foreign airplane business real
ly is. Since mid-l938, when France
first placed orders here to supple
ment her own tagging aircraft in
dustry, the u. S. has shipped loo
planes to the allies, recently step
ping up delivery to more than 100
ships a day. Together these two
governments have placed orders for
about 1000 planes in the past Is
months, while current negotiations
call for 5000 additional bombers,
