OUR DESIGNERS MUST STEP OUT

Miss Lewis believes that our Amer ican designers will spend less time in their offices and workrooms and more in going places. seeing people and things that may inspire creation of new and completely original de- signs.
 She thinks they will do well with evening gowns and other types of clothes for which Paris always has been given full credit and that sports and casual things which we do so well now will continue to improve.
 Furthermore, although she doubts that we ever will have great leaders of fashion such as have played an important part in launching daring styles of the past, she sees a great fillip to the American scene in the appointment of the Duke of Windsor to the governorship of the Bahamas.
 "The duchess will be something for our ladies of fashion to live tip to. She may well be the fashion leader our industry is looking for. She, unlike most of our beauties, may be willing to give the time rec quired to the task of Icing well dressed. We shall see."

AMERICA HAS INSPIRATION GALORE

Miss Lewis goes on to question whether any of the widely touted sources of inspiration that were SUD- posed to be available only to Paris couturiers were not an dare not open to American designers.
 Paris has been inspired by its art exhibitions, by its museums and their old documents, by its fabrics, by its visitors, by its own theaters and the beloved American movies," the well known merchandise expert continues
 "But are any of those sources pe- culiar to Paris?" Mary Lewis asks.
 "A great exhibition of Persian art has but recently closed in New York. We have a truly great museum of costume art, with 8 wealth of ma terial culled from every period and every country.
 "The Western Hemisphere abounds in local color, in inspiration from the past and present. Schiaparelli's shocking pink came straight from Peru, but our promotion of shocking pink came straight from Schiapa- relli. We love Schiaparelli, but is the entrepreneur really necessary if we use our eyes and ears and heart?'"

Stop This Menace

If drivers of motor vehicles who avail them
selves of the privilege of turning right on the
wrong light were all careful to wait until the
way was clear both of pedestrians and vehi-
cles moving at right angles to them, the dan
ger of accident would be somewhat reduced.
But it is no m experience to see
right-turners swing around a corner on a red
light with pedestrians and cars in their direct
paths. There is often a scramble among pc
destrians to win clear of bumper and fender
perhaps even of death.
AS long as the human element must be con-
sidered in connection with this right-turn rule,
the rule can find no justification for its exis.
tence. Safety requires it's repeal.
Why it has not been repealed in the past is 8
major mystery. Safe drivers don't want it.
Pedestrians hate it. Must we write down a
death in our traffic record, directly traceable
to it, before the administration at the city hal
realizes that it has been perpetuating a need
less and utterly useless hazard? Must it enc
only in an open grave?
The city's rulers are urged to consider that
by their failure to do away with it they are
turning every intersection supposedly safe
guarded by traffic signals into l~egalized death
traps.

Unnecessary Noise
DR.. PLUM

Noisy operation of trucks during the night
is an annoyance to residents of cities and
towns which can be, and ought to be, avoid
ed.
The trouble appears to be failure of some
drivers to check their speed at abrupt turns
in time to make unnecessary noisy use of the
brakes. This can be avoided by starting to
slow down at a greater distance from the
turning point.
Wilmington is comparatively free from this
troubling situation, but there are enough OF
tenders to justify vigorous protest on the part
Of jewellers along routes used by trucks.
If truck-operating companies were asked tt
instruct their drivers to consider the peace Of
residents along their routes through the city
and do their braking in time to reduce the
noise, there is every reason to believe they
would issue the necessary orders. Later on
If Individual drivers continued their offense
the police would be warranted in taking {
hand.

-BRlTAIN'S NEW DEBT TO JAPAN
New York Herald-Tribune

Mr.. ChurchilPs explanation to the House of
Commons of the agreement with Japan on
the limitation of traffic with China S h d
prompt the japanese to pray most fervent-
ly that Hitler and his friends keep Britain
busy for a long, long while. Cautiously worded
as the British Prime Minister'S speech was,
it conveyed clearly enough to the House the
fact that the British government like the agree
ment no better than the Chinese did, or than
Mr.. Hull did, or than the individual members
of Parliament, who had already denounced it
as appeasement of Japan and betrayal of
China did.
It was plainly enough explained that the
Temporary" suspension of deliveries of sup
plies to free China from both Hongkong and
Burma had been promised Japan in compli-
ance with demand which had behind them
at least an implied threat Of war. It was
made just aS plain, moreover, that the British
government bitterly resented the advantage
that Japan was taking of her present difficult
situation at home and in the Mediterranean;
and in one passage of Mr.. Churchills state
ment there was a grim promise that if Brit
aims situation were improved three months
hence Japan would not get way with a re-
petition of this stickup. II think that all that
happens to us in the Far East" said he else
where, "is most likely to be influenced by
what happens over here"
A great deal of the bitterness engendered in
British official circles by the success of t h i s
Japanese stickup is, of course, traceable to
the general knowledge in England of the eff
feet which such a surrender will have on the
minds of more than half a billion Asiatics
under the British, French and Dutch flags. 1t
is a victory for an Asiatic people, by means
which few Asiatics will esteem immoral, over
the Occident's greatest maritime and naval
power. 1t will prepare the ground, from the
China coast to the Gulf of Persia, for an asser-
ton of Japanese leadership in an Asia for
the Asiatics'' movement. 1t is to veil from
Asia as much as possible the full significance
of the surrender that Britain couples her agree
ment with Japan with talk of a Chinese
Japanese peace. China can better afford to
wait the issue in Europe and a possible British
comeback in the East, with a commensurate
setback for Japan, than consider peace offers
now; and, as Mr.. Churchill also made clear to
the Commons, his government has no thought
of urging China to surrender to aggression.
The Chinese say they are going to be an
noyed by this British agreement with Japan;
but they will not. They are too anciently sea-
soned themselves in the art Of gaining time
with much conversation and petty surrenders.
They will just deplore, congratulate the Brit.
ish in their own minds upon having yielded
so little for so much time, and pray as
fervently that three months hence a British
battle fleet will steam into the Singapore base.
If the Japanese have not learned from MIR.
Churchill that Britain owes them something
which will be paid with interest at the earliest
opportunity, they need further instruction in
the subtleties of the English language. 3

The Havana Conference

Almost always Pan-American conferences
are held under difficult conditions. None in
memory, however, has ever faced the pro-
blems which are engaging the attention Of
the delegates from 81 republics now meeting
in Havana.
To begin with Germany is bending every ef-
fort to make the sessions futile. All of South
and Central America has been flooded with
propaganda in which the old tune of Yankee
Imperialism is revived and wherein the Unit
ed States is pictured as seeking to use the
nations of the Western Hemisphere for its sci.
fish purposes.
This alone is enough to lend an atmosphere
of tension to the conference. Further compli-
eating the situation are the very questions to
be discussed: What is to be the future OF
European colonies in the New World? What
is to be the economic future of Pan-America?
What does the Monroe Doctrine really mean?
If, in such a setting, the meeting achieves
anything like harmony and comes to any happy
conclusion, it will be not only a diplomatic
accomplishment of the first rank but a notice
to Adolf Hitler of the essential solidarity of
the hemisphere.

independence Lost

To all intents and purposes three small states
have been struck from the roster of independ-
ent European nations. Through elections" last
week in Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia the
process of absorbing these countries into Soviet
Russia has been virtually completed.
It is of course a misnomer to call the ballot
ing that took place in each Of these states
m election. The voters were forced to the
polls by methods the Russians have brought
to a high state of perfection. They were pre-
scented with a single list Of parliamentary
candidates. They could vote for this list or
turn in blank ballots. So it is no wonder that
the majorities for the official list ran up
wards of 80 per cent in the three countries.
The wonder is that any voter considered 1t
worth while to make a protest that was OBJ
viously futile.
Meanwhile it is sad to reflect that just a
year ago the British attempt to bring Russia
into an anti-aggression bloc failed because the
Baltic states would not yield up to the Rus

For Better Male Health

Every man comes to a time in life when
some substitute for the athletic activities Of
Youth must be found. All men of mature
years do not play golf, nor can all, as m1ddle-
life approaches or passes, play tennis or VOL
ley ball, or, in fact, take any exercise IN
volving strenuous muscular strain. Yet all
men past the period of physical activity need
Just what they can no longer lave.
Business keeps them confined indoors. They
need sunshine, and can't get it. They need
something to keep their tummies down; some
thing to stimulate digestion and appetite-be-
sides cocktails. When livers and stomachs and
hearts begin to tire of their jobs, the men
who do nothing about it become easy prey for
the Affections that strike SO many down IN
the alleged prime of life.
Perhaps the most effective means OF keep
ing the old guard fit has been found by
Y.M.C.A.'s through the creation OF Health
Clubs in which members find a great variety
of facilities for their physical benefit. Electri-
cal devices for exercising, muscles without
shock to the heart or strain on the muscles
themselves are installed. Ultraviolet and in
fra-red lamps do what sunshine does at hours
when the sun is not shining. Electric cabinet
baths tend to obesity. And experienced mas
seurs are available for rubdowns. There are
rest cots and lounge furniture for relaxation
after treatments. None of this, to be sure,
is the equivalent of a good game OF ball or
set of tennis or an hour sprawled on a sum
bathed beach. But every item is a good sub
stitute.
Many Y.M.C.A.'s throughout the country
have their Health Clubs and many have wait
ing lists. Wilmington is to have one, too. The
directors of the local Y. are inviting member
tations speedily. Because the organizations in
come is already committed to existing activi.
ties, it is necessary to finance the Health
Club as a separate venture, charging members
a fee entirely unrelated to their present YIN.
CA. memberships.
One hundred members, at $50 each per year,
will provide all needed equipment and pay
for the services of a skilled attendant. That 100
members has passed the problem stage. The
goal is nearing. But it is quite certain that
there are men in the city who need tn e
facilities the club will provide who possibly
have not even heard of the project. The sug'
gestion is offered that they get in touch with
J. B. Huntington, Y.M.C.A. secretary prompt
ly to avoid missing out through hardness or
ignorance of the undertaking. One thing is
certain: those who fail to avail themselves Of
this opportunity will be the only losers. 3

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
ROOSEVELT AND WALLACE
Raleigh News and Observer

The Roosevelt-Wallace ticket is an excenent
one. from the standpoint OF both pohucal mo-
arlity and practical politics.
Too often political parties have sought to
be all things to all men by the NOMINATION on
the same ticket of two men of widely differing
beliefs. The Willkie-McNary ticket nominated
by the Republicans in Philadelphia is an out
standing example of that political strategy.
Fortunately, the Democratic party did not re-
sort to that recourse this year, although II
has done so in the past, the most conspicuous
example being the Davis-Bryan ticket for 1924
which went down to ignominous defeat.
Instead of following the example of the Re-
publicans. and nominating a man for Vice.
President who vigorously opposed the nominal
ton of the head of the ticket and who has
widely differing views, the Democrats selected
as the Presidents running mate one Of the
first advocates of a third term for the Presi-
dent and sone who is not only in full sym
pathy with the Presidents policies but who
has filed an important role in the present adj
ministration. Secretary Wallace has shown
himself we'll fitted for the Presidency itself.
In addition to his excellent record as Secre-
tary of Agriculture, he has manifested a grasp
of the major questions confronting this nation
and the world in other fields as well.
With such a ticket the Democratic party
keeps faith with the voters by facing in only
one direction.
AS a matter of practical politics, the nonina,
ton was as expedient as it was wise. Political
observers who differ as to the probable out
come of the approaching campaign agree that
the real battle-ground will be In the Middle
West, where Secretary Wallace is best known.
The nomination met its greatest opposition in
the South. That opposition was increased by
the fact that the leading opponent of Secretary
Wallace was Speaker Bankhead of Alabama.
Many of the delegations from all parts of
the country, like the one from North Carolina,
contained several members of the House Of
Rep1 esentatives over which Speaker Bank.
head presides. But Secretary Wallace is not
unpopular among farmers of the South.
The Roosevelt-Wallace ticket is one for which
no Democrat need apologize and it is one upon
which the electorate of the entire nation will
place it's approval in November.

Man bout

Bv George Tucker

NEW YORK-July 21.-Strange
how. Pine street continues to bob
up in the diary of Manhattan. You
read a lot about it now because II
is where Wendell Willkie has his
offices. Years ago it was the scene
of a sensational murder, and once
a play was written about IT, mo.
Pine Street" The girl who played
the lead in the play was Lillian
Gish. Not that we want to cast
a damper on any budding election
campaigns that may be being form
ed around Pine street these days,
but mo. 9 Pine Street, as a play,
was a melancholy failure. 1t a
only a few performances.
Our award for the most heart
ening never-say-die spirit it goes to
a former Follies girl, Capt Grind
er, who finally had to quit show
business because Of declining
health. AS a matter of fact, the
malady was t.b., and her doctors
told her she didn't have long to
live. But that was Is years ago,
and today, at 40, Capt. is the SWIM
ming instructress at Frank Seid-
ems Lido Beach club on Long Is
land. There may be people
who feel better than I do" Capt
says, posing for a plung, But if
there are I haven't seen them"
Perhaps night providers and in
somniacs will appreciate this in
formation. New York's air is pur-
est at 4 am. 1t is most polluted at
9 a. m. Back in 1882 the city in
stalled a sensitive bit of apparatus
that registers all these things, and
I just thought you'd like to know.
Although, New York is a sprawl
ing city of five great boroughs, it is
also a sort of loose federation of
many picturesquely named dis
tricts, such as Throg's Neck which
is in the Bronx, HelTs Kitchen,
and Sugar Hill. Hell's Kitchen, best
known perhaps of these districts
because it has the reputation of
being rough, tough, and ugly, is
where George Raft grew up as a
kid. It was notorious in the old
days for its religious fights.
Note to MI. James T. Higgins,
Internal Revenue Service, Treas
ury Dept. Dear jim: Now let's
get this thing Strengthened out.
Yes, I filed a return for 1888. Don't
you remember? You summoned
me n day last July and 1 went
down to see you, and after you
went over my papers you turned to
me and said, mister, you don't
know how to file an income tax
return" And when I said, "Okay,
how much do I owe you?" you
said, "You don't understand; it is
we who owe you" And three or
four months later you sent me a
check. Remember? I'll come down
again if you want me to-. I just
mentioned this because 1 thought
you ought to know. G. T.
