Shopping-Lady Decies, the for
mer Elizabeth Drexel of Philadelphia
who married Social Leader Harry
Lehr in the gay COS and moved to
Paris, returned home. She told of
shopping in occupied Paris. In one
store she had decided to buy a coat
when a fat, uniformed man reached
across the counter, seized it and
said, "I'n take this for my wife"
Lady Decies walked away. The man
in uniform was General Goering.
Absolved-Sylvia Ageloff, former
Brooklyn social worker held in Mex
leo City for completely in the Staying
of Leon Trotsky, was released.
Judges of the Mexico City criminal
court ruled she was arrested on Sin
sufficient evidence"
Character - Council for Fannie

portant from the standpoint of cost
than their other accessories. The
average price paid for a hat was
$3.50.
The prices paid for hosiery ranged
from 70 cents to $1.02 per pair,
while the usual period of wear was
found to be about three weeks.
Many of the women apparently
considered the comforts and advan-
tages of a home worth the sacrifice
of other wants, because they spent
over 40 per cent more for their liv-
ing than did women who roomeds

Miss Had Another Chance
after the Final Good-By

The fellow threatened to commit
suicide every time a certain girl
turned him down. She refused
him again the other night, and the
next morning a messenger boy
called with this note:
"Darling-By the time you read
this, my body will be floating down
the river. Life without you is not
worth while. Shed no tears over
me, but remember have always
loved you. Good-by for ever"
The girl went white and nearly
tainted. The boy still remained.
What are you waiting for?" she
asked.
"The man who gave me that
note said I was to wait for an an
swer," said the boy.

porter of appeasement. He laid the
groundwork for the pact of Munich,
where CZechoSlovakia was sold down
the river and Hitler gained the idea
all Europe would bow to his whim.
But times change and sometimes
men change too. Lord Halifax
now is described as one of the most
determined men in England in sup
port of the war effort. The death
of Lord Lothian, British ambassador
to the United States, gives Lord
Halifax a new task. He steps down
from the foreign ministry, where he
directed ambassadors, to become an
ambassador himself, being assigned
to Washington.
Back into the foreign ministry
in London goes Anthony Eden, who
would take personal as well as pa
triotic delight in knocking out Mus
Solini.
Pierre Laval? He's out of the
French cabinet at this time, but
German influence is seeking to have
him replaced. Until such can be
brought to pass, he will live in
Paris, under protection of the Nazi
invaders.

HonOr-William Allen White, En-
poria, Kan, editor, was given the
annual Churchman's award by the
journal of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The award was ''for pro-
motion of goodwill and better I'M
derstanding among all people"
Cruise-Adm. William D. Leahy,
appointed U. S. ambassador to
France, spent the holidays on the
high seas. The U. S. S. Tuscaloosa,
used by the President for his vaca-
ton cruises, carried the envoy to Lis
bon, Spain, en- route to his new
job.
Fighter-Gene Tunney, retired I'M
defeated heavyweight boxing cham
pion, is wearing a naval uniform.
The former marine buck private
was commissioned a lieutenant COM
mander and assigned as physical in
structor to three naval aviation
training stations.
Tragedy-Great crowds lined the
streets of Helsinki and in a torch
light ceremony waved farewell to
Kyosti Kallio, retiring president who
carried the nation through crisis in
peace and war. The 67-year-old
statesman was bound to his ances-
trail home after seeing his success
sor take the reigns of government.
At the railway station he turned and
waved to the crowds. Then he
slumped to the ground and died in
the arms of Gen. Baron Manner
helm, Finland's military hero.

Job ahead

The job is monumental. Army
housing is go per cent behind sched-
ule with only 100000 soldiers on ac-
tive duty, out of a contemplated
100000. Not single airplane or
dered since congress voted money
last July has been delivered. If
any tanks have been delivered it is
a secret. When it was decided to
build one munitions plant and work
on construction more than 40 hours
a week, that was news"
Most startling of all was the lack
of realization on the part of too
many that in this war those nations
which sensed their danger too late
have reached their war potentiai-
ties too late-or not at all.

ANGER IN BERLIN:
Sharp Words to u. S.

The official Nazi spokesman
turned wrathful tongue loose on
the United States. The American
policy of giving all aid to Britain
"short of war" appeared heading to-
ward critical stage.
The spokesman said American
foreign policy was one of "pinpricks,
injury, challenge and moral agrees
sion" against Germany. On the 9TH
er hand, he said, the Reich had
Exercised restraint to the point of
self-effacement." He talked of "war-
like acts"
Crux of the irritation was state
ment by British Minister of Ship
ping Ronald Cross who told report
ers England clocks with a covetouS
eye" on every ton of shipping in
American ports. The transfer of ga
certain number of enemy Ships"
plus United States ships was seen
by him as the only way for ere
refreshments of any consequences"
The British shipping situation was
admittedly serious. In the past sew
eral weeks U-boats have accounted
for an average of three British YES
sells each day. The losses in ton
mage are not as severe as during
the World war, but the British have
fewer ships, and cannot rely on Al
lies as they could in 1917.
The American merchant marine
is now estimated at 100000 tons.
Also there are about 100000 tons of
German ships in American ports,
waiting out the war.
'The Reich" said the Berlin
spokesman, '..is therefore centering
it's entire attention upon Americas
reaction"
Mussolini jumped into the argu-
ment the following day. Through his
editorial spokesman, Virginia Gay
da, he called attention to the Berlin
policy and said, "Me, too"

1dy Reveals How Women Spend Clothing Dollar

How business women distribute
their clothing budget was revealed
recently in a survey conducted by
the U. S. bureau of home economics.
The survey disclosed that the aver
age business woman, until the re-
cent advent of nylon, bought II pairs
of hose, six dresses and 3.5 hats
every year.
The study was based upon group
of SO earning women in the Exten-
sion Service and Farm Security ad-

ministration who submitted their ac-
count books for analysis.
1t was learned that professional
women differ greatly with respect
to amounts spent on their ward
robes. One woman, for example,
spent almost II times as much as
another. A quarter of total clothing
funds was spent for dresses.
Contrary to the beliefs and preju-
dices of many men, the hats worn
by these women were no more inn

moment French premier. Laval
supported Italy and kept the
Leagues action from being unani-
nous.
Eden's battle at Geneva aroused
the enmity of Mussolini and so bitter
was the exchange that Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain, then in
the beginning of his appeasement
drive, forced Eden to resign. In
Eden's place came Lord Halifax, a
member of the Cliveden set and sup

Axis is no stronger than its weakest
spoke.
The forward march of the killed
Greek Evzones in Albania appeared
to be slowed down. There were des-
perate counter-attacks by the Ital-
ians and some towns were retaken.
But the Greeks were certain it was
just a momentary halt and the
march north could be resumed.
From Africa, Field Marshal Ro-
dolfo GRAHAM reported to the Duce
on why his Egyptian campaign had
been such a dismal failure; and why
after making a 75-mile advance into
British territory he halted for three
months and then suffered a serious
defeat.
He said he had not received
mechanical equipment from home
which had been promised to him.
Even before the British attacked
and drove him far back into Libya,
he reported, he knew of their plans.
He denied the campaign against him
was a surprise and said that so
many Italians, repeatedly as high as
10000, were lost because they chose
to fight into the ''last spasm" rath-
er than retreat.
But excuses don't win battles, and
good reason or no, the Libyan forces
had lost all their gains and were
in desperate plight to save the
remnants of their army. The Brit
ish indicated that an even more ex-
tensive blow was being aimed and
limited much of Libya may be in
their hands by spring.
Even the British navy Knocked the
Italians. In broad daylight, with
flags flying and openly inviting at
tack, squadron of the royal navy
swept through the Straits of Otranto
and into the Adriatic, Mussolini's
private lake. 1t was an open dare
to the Italians to come out and fight,
but no Fascist man-o'-war appeared.
So the British crossed over to Va
Iona, Albanian port used by Musso-
lini's forces, and turned their guns
on the harbors. Then they sailed
out into the Mediterranean again.
Spies Executed
On Armistice Day, November II,
the Royal Air Force called at the
Italian naval base at laramie. In
the subsequent informalities, Lon
don says bombs were dropped that
sank or crippled half Italy's navy.
Mussolini gave his answer to that.
One Italian naval officer and a civil
ian were executed and % others
jailed, including a woman who was
given a life term. Spies, said the
Fascists. They were accused of
giving information that helped the
British locate the vessels.
Morale
Into this uncertainty, Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill threw a sur
prise radio address. 1t was aimed
at Italy through stations in London,
Cairo and Athens. Churchill told the
people of Italy that Is years of Fas-
cist rule only had brought them to
grips with the most powerful nations
on the earth and on the side of their
traditional enemy. He appealed to
the people, the monarchy, the army
and the church to cast out the man
who arrayed them against their tradi-
tional friends-England and the U. S.

WAR ON ITALY:
TEMPO Increases

Fearful of being too optimistic,
but still hopefully, the eyes of the
democratic nations were turned on
Italy. Reverses for the Fascist le-
gions were reported by the Greeks
in Albania and by the British in
Egypt. There were continued re-
ports of falling morale on the home
front.
If Italy should crack it would be
a serious blow to the Axis. Even an

CROP NEWS:
Wheat and Hogs

The department of agriculture
made two announcements of interest
to farmers and food buyers.
The first was that the 1941 wheat
crop again would be above the 10
year average which is ST. ,067, 1000
bushels. The estimate of the 1941
yield was 633, 1000, 900 bushels. In 1910
the crop gave $50, Isl 900 bushels
and in 1889 500, TAI 900 bushels.
Economists also predicted an in
crease of between 16 and 80 per cent
in hog prices by March and an even
larger increase in the retail figure
for pork. They said it was quite
probable that hogs, now averaging
about 1928 per hundred pounds in
Chicago, would be selling ST to 81
higher before winter is over.
MISCELLANY:
q The wealthy family of Count
and Countess Marc de Tristan,
whose young son was snatched by
kidnaper recently, were the in
tended victims of another extortion
plot which threatened the Swear
old child.
q There will be no award of No
bel peace prize for 1910. In Ger
man-occupied Norway, where the
awards formerly were made, an
nouncement was made that the prize
would be passed over for the second
year in succession.
q When documents of the German
American Bund were seized sudden
ly in Chicago, during hearing over
a financial matter, agents of the FBI
were quickly called in. Court at
taches said the raid uncovered a list
of 1000 members of the U. S. armed
forces who are Bund members.

NetU Board

One step in this direction was ap-
pointment by President Roosevelt of
a new super-production board on de-
tense. 1t has been given complete
executive authority-all the consti-
tuition allows, according to the Presi-
dent-to act in the name of the gov
eminent. The national advisory de-
tense council which has been carry
ing on the work up until this time
has been pure that, advisory. 1t
lacked authority.
The new board will have authori-
ty, probably more than most people
expect, and will crack down. Knud-
sen has been named chairman and
Sidney Hillman, c. 1. o. vice presi-
dent and enemy of John L. Lewis,
is vice chairman. War Secretary
Stimson and Navy Secretary Knox
are the other members.

nth CONGRESS:
WASHINGTON Gloomy

AS the new congress comes into
being, it meets in Washington that
is marked by mood far from OPP
timism. There is public talk, which
may be nothing more, that Britain
has only a 90-day grace period be-
fore Hitler strikes hard-and that
Britain is far from well prepared
and American "aid' has fallen
down.
The first job of the new congress
will be to stir the public, industry
and labor out of that lethargy. Eff
forts already have begun In
speeches by Defense Chief William
Knudsen, and Secretaries Stimson
and Hull.
The topic of all is the same: 1t is
much later than you think. They
hope by painting the defense pic
ture in its true colors to convince
workers, employees and the general
public that there must be an i'm
mediate about arms production and
all other considerations - labor's
right and profits-must step aside
until the job is done.
