The president has designated May
18 as I Am an American Day to
celebrate the occasion of the natur-
alization of citizens during the past
year and also those young people
who have attained their majorities
during that period. Seems like a
good idea at the moment, affecting,
as it is claimed, some two and a half
million people. This matter of
granting citizenship, however, is one
which the country has long ne
elected. Now that the world is af-
fected so greatly by the war situa-
ton, it becomes doubly important.
1t seems as though the granting of
the rights of citizens should have
been given more consideration in
times past. Every foreigner who
comes to our shores should be given
only a comparatively short period
to determine whether our form of
government suits him. Then, if he
wishes to become one of us, to per-
feet his right to that privilege 9th
ers should be compelled to leave our
shores. We have put up with the
foreign elemnts too long for our
own good. Let's see that we never
become so lax again.

To those who think that there is
something good, anything good, in
Communism and Hitlerism, we would
recommend the reading of Jan
Valtin's "Out of the Night" It is a
story of Communism and Hitlerism
and their brutality. It is shocking,
terrifying, revolving and sickening,
but it contains the truth about these
"iSms" that America should know.

recall what Longs plan was but if
there is any surer, quicker way of

the wealth by taxation will make

cost more, but so little is needed
that the cost IL low. The principle
on which 1t works is that the
chloric acid penetrates the tissues
OF the plant, gets into the sap and
disorganizes growth. It can be
used dry, by busting on the plants,
when the leaves are damp with

Victorian Modes
Still Retain
Quaint Charm
BY ELEANOR GUM

NEW YORK = We have by no

torian fashions. Their quaintness
seems to have lasting appeal, Tor
in early fall collections the fam
liar Victorian influence is clearly
seen. The slim cloats with cape
lets over the shoulders are one
expression of it, bonnets another.
We've been seeing barrel muffs,
too. and many costumes in the
rich, glowing colors cherished by
the ladies Of that period. Rich
velvety woolens, ruffles and fringe,
not to mention draperies and lace
collars and such, are all in evil
dence.
Mention has already been made
of velveteen, but its Importance
at least to hear the prophets tell
it. justifies the retelling OF the
great expectations for 1t. Wine,
violet, blue green and gray are
the colors backed to win, but are
running behind black, which leads
by mile.
In attempting even a hit and
miss list of VictorianiSms In
fashion. there must be included
mention of quilting, which treat
ment turns up in Jackets and in
Innings for other jackets and coats
Quilting the coat and its lining
together is one of the unusual
methods employed.
Tiers and peplums must also be
added to the long list of family
album details. There are, in fact
many Of both. TERED skirts
straight or in spiral formation
are promising, while peplums and
TUNES are more cautiously in
troduced.

ladies seem fairly content to lei
the boys wear their uniforms in

Stunts on Ice
BY TALBOT LAKE

A FTER talking to Adele 1nge.
"A l6-year- old acrobatic ice skater
from Clayton. Mo-. we feel most
people have been doing nothing all
their lives. Last week there was
Lorin Maasel, aged IL. conducting
orchestras, and here's Adele, also
a youngster. the hit of an ice skat.
ing show at the Hotel New Yorker
in New York.
Speaking with a Midwestern
twang, Adele said: We'll. you see.
when / was little girl. and went
to school in Clayton. there wasn't
much traffic on the roads. and so
I used to get there doing cartwheels
all the way. Daddy thought had
talent and he had me take ballet
lessons. Well, when / was 8 / was
doing trick riding in the rodeos and
circuses when they came to town.
OF course was too young to travel
like do now"
We gathered that when Adele
was eleven somebody gave her a
pair Of skates. She started right
out doing cartwheels and all sorts
of tricks. Three months later she
was to appear professionally at a
st. Louis ice rink. but the manager
used his two daughters instead and
so Adele went to Chicago. where
she did stunts on ice nobody else
ever dreamed of doing. or could do
like q front SomeSault without
using her hands.
Adele just happens to be a pecu-
liar genius. She excels in anything
athletic. especially along acrobatic
lines. She seems completely un-
spoiled by her fame.
Blonde. blue eyed, S foot 4 and
weighing 100 pounds, she likes most
vanilla ice cream, with chocolate
fudge sauce, butterscotch sauce.
whipped cream. pecan nuts. cher
ries, almonds and q big slab OF
chocolate layer cake on the side"
Her mother stays with her. q tutor
teaches her and l7-year-old
brother may come to chaperone
her. "Only he's crazy about girls,
and maybe Daddy won't let bin
come to New York." Adele said.
Daddy Inge sensed his daughters
unusual ability when she was
mere tot. Where most parents
would have paid no need to 1t. he
encouraged It. He built her an ice
rink for SIS. 900 in the cellar Of their
home and, although he knew moth
ing about skating. coached her from
the sidelines. The result Is that
Adele has got something no other
ice skater has.
