SHADES OF our grand

mine would say if ne were where

known as a beauty shop for men.
What's more. l think it's won
derful time they did some
thing about their own personal
appearance instead of finding
fault with ours or soothing at
our vanity.
Yes. we've seen a lot Of good
strong faces that could have
been cleaner -. few eyebrows
that have needed moving, TO
say nothing of bay windows that
could well be planed down TO a
respectable 36.
All these things will be done
for the darlings in their
new shop. The name over the
door is -. Gourielli's Old World
ApOthecary Shop.
Wouldn't you know they'd be
e-X-c-l-u7s-i-v-e and
he (Gouriell) a prince!
The Princess!
But then. there's a woman
back Of il all D.. Princess Gou-
rielli, better known as Madame
Helena Rubenstein.
Matter of fact, it's coed
affair, for the princess has set
up a blue room and gift shop
for the ladies. and an herb shop
done in yellow and bright pink.
The princess own office is
done in jungle green, bright yell
low and startling Mexican GRIM
son. known as cochinelle.
The mems salon. however,
is done in quiet gray, and there's
a mug-rack which holds the
princes collection Of old shaving
jars.

Slenderize
Large Figure
BY IDA JEAN KAN

- 4 LIE llIlt a WpildN can
afford the kind of clothes she
has always dreamed of, she is
in the stylish stout class and
can't wear them!
That observation flitte d
through my mind the other day
as 1 watched a fashion showing
at which all the prospective
shoppers seemed TO be crowding
size 40's while the models were
quite at ease in lbs.
The conversation that went on
about me was food for this coll
umn. One grand dame, on the
pouter pigeon order, beckoned
with her lorgnette 10 a slinky
young number and said: "Now
that's very smart. That makes
you look very Slim Then she
added wistfully But 1 suppose
you are!"
Wrong Style
A slip of a model who came
out in a black dress fitted TO the
hipline in the South American
manner. with tri-coIors encir-
cling the derriere. was pracu-
cally doing the rhumba. And
three fat ladies signaled they
would like to see the same dress
In their size!
Fortunately, the filters are
modern magicians al slenderiz-
ing those who have passed the
plump stage. For the figure with
the large bosom, the filter adj
vises that the under-garment he
snug but that the dress be loose
across this area.
Sometimes clips are placed
high on the neckline to divert
attention. A similar effect can
be achieved with shoulder de-
tail.
A slight extension Of the
shoulder line Will give the illu-
sion Of slimnesS through tho hips.
TO avoid any suggestion Of the
football silhouette. this may be
accomplished By the use of soft
pleating in the material rather
than too much padding. The
shoulders should be broad but
the line itself should be kept
soft.

into unoccupied France, and on &C
count of that Harold Knutson says:
at will now be in order to lift the
blockade on the other German oc-
cupied countries of Europe"
That is an admittance that there
is no unoccupied France when he in
all respects puts her on an equal
basis with the other German occupied
countries of Europe.
If he had left out the word "other''
and said: at will now be in order to
lift the blockade on the German oc-
cupied countries of Europe" then
France would not be included as oc-
cupied but she is and is making war
supplies for Germany.
If they get food from us, they are
thereby made able to make more
war supplies for Germany, and we
thereby help the Germans in the
war.
1t would be all right to help the
needy people, but even if the Ger
mans don't take any of the food we
give to the robbed people, they will
take so much more of what little they
otherwise should have of their own.
1t is in many cases unpleasant to
oppose a robber, but it is honorable
and moral duty. But an action
contrary to that makes one equal to
the robber, so we should not help the
robber.
Harold Knutson says: 'Something
will have to be DONE The civilized
nations will not stand by and see
millions starve to DEATH"
Yes, the civilized nations should, if
possible, join and drive the uncivilized
robbers out of the robbed countries
and then help the people there. But
according to his actions in Congress,
Harold would not be in favor of that.

A. c. Gould, Estelline, S. D.-The
speech expresses fully and precisely
my own sentiments.
Mrs. A. NJ Dougan, Mason City
lathe radio broadcast expresses
our sentiments. We are more than
proud of those who are honest and
brave enough to take stand against
the entry of the United States into
another war, with all it's losses and
horrors. Just what good did the
last war do?
Rev. Martin Scharlemann, Athens
Visit was magnificent. The ali
should be filled with thousands OF
speeches like that.
E. M. Dahlberg, High School Prin-
cipal, Ladysmith, Wis., heard your
excellent talk on keeping out of war
l am taking this means to inquire
if 1 might procure a copy of your
speech together with permission tc
use it in connection with the Wiscon-
sin inter-scholastic speaking contest
Anything you can do to help keep the
American boys in America this time
will certainly be appreciated in the
hearts of every father and mother OF
eligible sons.
Chester Adams, Spencer, Wis.,

radio speech. Your analysis is one
hundred per cent correct. We can
not save America in Europe.

WAR AND DEMOCRACY
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOV American:
Thanks to America that she is not
planning to go to Berlin and sign her
liberties away; we still will have
chance to improve on democracy.
But who dares to try in Berlin
Rome or Moscow to improve it there?
If had to choose genuine national
socialism or spurious-democracy. ]
would take the latter one
Since Berlin and Moscow had a
date, socialism and communism is not
topic any more. Both are national
list; both parties agree that it is de-
mocracy which is standing in their
road towards the "New ORDER.
London and Washington have also
agreed that, to prolong spurious-de-
mocracy, Naziism and Communism
ought to have the Gid on the cam.
1 am feeling like that Belgian So
cialist in 1914 who had been, deep in
his heart, pacifist, but when the
Germans invaded his country he put
all his belongings on a two-wheel
push-cart and he and his wife pushed
hard for fear of being overrun by the
Huns. He suddenly lost his faith in
pacifism and said to his wife, 81 feel
like shooting the first German chas-
ing me-"
In spite of all the soft talk there
is enough of the savage left in us
which will come into action in times
of danger.
AS rule politicians like to fish in
troubled waters We do well not to
listen to every Tom, Dick and Harry's
political religion. 1 am quite sure
that if Hitler wins this war, we will
stay neck-deep in militarism, and if
England wins, militarism will de-
crease and Germany will be stripped
of her militaristic powers
It is American labor (not the SOL
dier) that can give England the vic
tory.

Jos. Fuchs, Waconia, Minn.-Your
radio speech was one of the most
thoughtful and clear cut, and a real
American No. l. myself was born
in Bohemia, but I agree fully with
you that we have no business to
interfere with the Europeans. 1 am
sure you voiced the sentiment of the
American citizen.
Marie T. Magee, st. Paul, MIMI
Your talk was convincingly presented
and l am in accord with your IDEAS
With the vote on the lease-lend bill,
it takes rare courage to speak as you
did. l wish there were more indie
pendent thinkers-and speakers-to
keep us from plunging into certain
disaster. Considering the present
trend, I'm very much afraid Washing
ton will sell our birthright of free
dom for mess of foreign entangle-
ments. One visit to the Veterans
hospital would convince most of us
OF the futility and the horror of war.
Sam A. Rask, Blooming Prairie,
Minn.-You packed more common
sense into that Is minute talk than
l have heard for long time by some
of the great speakers. AS far as I
am personally concerned I am for
aid to Britain in the crisis but 1 feel
we should not get ourselves so excited
about the whole situation, as we did
before. When it is all over we will
probably all get it in the neck, as we
did then.
William Schneider, Albany, MINI.
My compliments to you for the
wonderful speech against war. am
sure that your speech was very con-
vincing on real facts of present con-
ditions, and reminding people of the
great slaughter of American boys in
the last World war of 1917, not for
democracy but for creating more mil
lionaires. AS you have stated, our

greatest interest should be American

greatest interest should be American,
to preserve peace, liberty, and free
dom from foreign entanglements.
F. c. F. Schmidt, West st. Paul,
Mimi wish to commend you on the
thoughts expressed. What we need is
sane leadership. This country has
been driven to hysteria by evil, sinis-
ter, and malicious propaganda for
apparently only one purpose: To make
America war-minded; and the end is
not yet. They say we must save the
world for democracy, by force of
arms, through Great Britain for the
present. The fallibility of this is
probably apparent only to such as
would like to have the golden rule
has prospered and grown, not only
by guaranteeing freedom, liberty, and
opportunity to all, but also by keep
ing our nose out of foreign entangle-
ments and treating other nations
with respect, upholding goodwill
thereby
Rev. Patrick j. Freeman, o. S. B.,
Duluth, Mimi wish to congratu-
late you upon the statesman-like way
in which you presented our national
and international problem so far as
the war is concerned. To my mind,
it was the most convincing and salts
flying exposition of our nations re-
lationship with other countries and
surpassed all other talks l have heard.
1t seems to me, that it would be we'll
worth while if your talk would be
introduced into every home in Ameri-
ca, either by letter or by nationwide
hook-up, or both.
Philip A. Starr, Cass Lake, MIMI
Your most excellent address was the
best Grafton on the subject of peace,
welfare and safety for our beloved
United States of America, have ever
had the privilege of hearing. 1t had
the superior advantage of being alb
solutely right and clearly unmistak-
able. That address should be the
means of doing a great deal of good,
coming at a most opportune time, at
the close of one of the bitterest con-
troversieS our nation has ever been
engaged in.
w. O. Nuremberg, Morristown, MINI.
You spoke so many truths, you
brought out so many good facts that
your address ought to be sent to
every member of our Congress and
each individual citizen of Minnesota.
If we had more men like you at the
helm of our government we wouldn't
get into all this chaos.
Attorney Henry Spindler, Buffalo,
Mimi heard with great pleasure
your talk, particularly what you had
to say about our mixing in the af-
fairs of Europe.
M. j. Haase, Blue Earth, Mimi
agree with you on every point.
Editor Walter K. Nicholson, New
| Ulm, Minn.-You had mighty good
speech on the war situation and
have heard many favorable comments
from people who heard it.

A past governor of this state got to
the meat of the question. He should
receive the credit he deserves. His

to keep alive the battle for liberal
ism and free institutions, even in

The legitimate press of the state
dailies and weeklies-have supported
and opposed me on different oc-

Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1941-04-03

The Leader announces that they
printed $4,000 copies of their last
issue, the greatest number in two
years. Apparently they are more
interested in trying to smear me than
they were in the election of state
slate of candidates in 1910.
The Leader also proposes to open
up on enemies within the ranks, one
by one, and reveal them for what
they are.
Let them open up on their former
editor, Mr.. Mahoney; Geo. Hagen,
floor leader of the House; Representa-
tive Chas. Halsted, and others. If
they continue those tactics and con-
denim all the progressives who are
criticizing the present leadership, or
who voted for me in the last cleo
ton, they will have left only the

Germans, Walter Franks, James Flow

Attention has again been called to
the letter wrote to the late Governor

Much suspicion has been cast upon
that letter by cheap politicians, but
they have never dared to publish the
letter which was written to, and in
tended only for the late governor.
