Michigan in
Washington
BY Esther Van Wagner fluffy


About the middle OF October, the
presidents OF the various clubs in
every Michigan city will be asked
to join hands in the name of civil.
ian defense.
AS club years open all over tho
country. nearly every organization
is tackling civilian defense in some
manner or another. II theyacom-
bine their efforts the impact OF
their activities viii be greater and
duplication avoided. That's the
thought of Miss Eloise Dawson,
the new assistant director of civil.
ian defense headed by Mayor La
Guardia.
The guinea pig Of this idea is
Washington. The presidents of the
League of Women Voters. the
American Association of University
Women, the Daughters Of the
American Revolution. the Democra-
tic Woman's Club. the Republican
Club, the Catholic Woman's Club,
the Jewish Community Center, the
Womans Club and dozen or more
others have all signed up to work
together on this civilian defense
front. Not a single club refused
to join.
Washington will set up a pattern.
On October IS, Mayor LaGuardia.
Miss Dawson, and the No Volun-
teer. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, will
speak to a combined meeting Of
the membership of all these organi-
cations.

No application TO the skin that
is known has the capacity either
TO increase or to retard the growth
Of hair. The idea that the applica-

probably arises from the fact that
many women become more con-
cerned with the creams they use
about the time the skin shows

the increased growth Of facial hair.

Her knocking on the window pane attracted the attention of her son. in-law, Ward Wright, who hap pened to be in his yard next door. While he attempted to bring the blaze under control, Mrs. Wright, daughter of Mrs. Johnson. and Mrs. Richard Veronesi, a neighbor, hur- ried into the house and led the blind woman to safety.

knew nothing of wheeler's alleged statement.
 elf Question"
 The puresident refused to answer an inquiry whether he considered the statments represented Wheeler's present attitude on tn grounds that this was an if question.
 Wheeler was not available for comment. Earlier this month he described the British aid bill as the administrations new .AAA foreign policy-plow under every fourth American boy'' which drew the heated retort from MT. Roosevelt that the remark was the most "dastardly, unpatriotic and rotten" thing he had ever heard.
 The dissenting report of the house committee Republicans contended that Britain needs dollar exchange to buy war materials in this coun- try but that the administrators bill would not supply it. Britain's needs could be met, they added, by extending the $2,000, ,000,000 credit, requiring reasonable" collateral security if available.
 Two Reasons For Laws
 "We have been given two reasons for new laws" the report said. T, Britain is running short, not of money, not of assets, but of dollar exchange. 2, we need to coordinate British procurement with our own defense efforts.
 '"This bill does not provide dollar exchange for Britain, and is not needed to procure coordination of our defense efforts.
 This bill will not provide any additional war supplies for aid to Britain within the 60 or 90 days of her alleged crisis, unless the PreSi- dent uses the power provided to dispose of part of our arms or our navy, which he and his cabinet of- ficers have specifically denied they could spare"
 Would Aid Britain
 The minority said it willingly would support a straightforward" bill to help Britain and keep out of war.
 In addition to the $2,000, 900 900 credit. the minoritys program would:
 l. Permit the sale of arms to Britain only upon written certifica- ton by the highest army and navy officers that they are not necessary for national defense.
 2. Limit all extraordinary presi- dential powers to one year.
 3. Provide that no vessels of the

 4. Prohibit the use of American ports for repair bases for beliger- ent ships.
 5. Prohibit the use of American vessels to army goods to belliger- entS.
 6. Prohibit the conveying of merchantmen by the navy
 Republicans Signing
 The Republicans who signed the report were Reps. Hamilton Fish, N. r., Charles A. Eaton, N. J., Edith N. Rogers, Mass, Robert B. Chfperdeld. John M. Vorys, O., Karl E. Mundt, s. D., Bartel J. Jonkman, Mich, and Frances P. Bolton, O.
