Readers Questions
About Decorating
Are Answered
Br MarSaret NOweH

Dear Miss Novel;: I am trying to
select wall paper for a study. I
wanted striped pattern, but am
informed that this will make the
room seem smaller. Is this true?
What would be the next choice
which would tend to make the room
seem larger? K. G.
AnsWer-A paper that is definitely
striped will give the effect of wall
ing you in. You might try running
the wall paper horizontally, which
may make it look lower but will not
decrease its size, especially if the
stripes are not too pronounced. A
travelling pattern, one that runs in
q wavering diagonal pattern, or a
dlffuSed scenic paper with an effect
of distance, will help to open up a
room. Also, bright, open colors, such
as sunshine yellows and off-whites
with an indistinct pattern, give a
spacious effect.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: What is good
color for a child's room on the
southwest corner of a house?
j. T. R.
AnsWer-Any color is good in this
location. A warm color will be very
much brighter and warmer, but a
cool color, like blue or green, will
be possible without an ungracious
atmosphere. Let your preference
be your guide here, merely follow
ing the rules for children and let
ting sunshine and cheerfulnesS reg
ulate your selection.
Dear Miss NOVEL;: can have the
use of fine old set of dining room
furniture of the Handicapped
era Would you suggest accepting
this until such time as I can afford
good dining room furniture? If so,
what can l do to make it more up
to-date? K. N.
Answer-YeS, accept it by all
means Upholster the seats of the
chairs in gay striped material. Use
brilliant f1oWered chintz at the win
doWs and carry out the opulent idea
of the age, but don't let it be too
fussy. Hang mirrors on the wall.
If the table pedestal is bad. make
a cover for it that has a circular
founce set on at the table edge to
reach the floor Set all this against
a light background and I think it
will be most pleasing.

but modest salary.
If there are such women, they are
few and far between. And in ninety
nine cases out of hundred, when
woman adds the burden of a job to
her work as a housekeeper it is be-
cause she is driven to it by dire
necessity.
Her husbands salary doesn't cover
their needs, or there is an old mother
or a sick sister or orphan children
dependent upon her. And she does
the added work that they may not
suffer.

bear the cross without ever wearing

worn, overworked married women
who stand all day behind a counter

cooking and scrubbing and cleaning,
trying to make a home for their

Dear Dorothy Dix: am a happy
bride of two months. I had good
position before marriage and have
continued to work since. My hus-
band has to be at work at o'clock.
while I don't have to be on my job
until 9. We live with my mother
and she thinks I should get up and
get my husband his breakfast. but
he thinks it is all right for me not
to do so. What do you think?
IRMA.
Answer think that any woman
who has a husband with enough
pep in him to get up and go to
work at 7 o'clock should get up and
get him a good hot breakfast and
show him a shining morning face
across the table. That is starting
the day off right and makes man
feel that he has something worth
while to work for.
Last impressions are very impor-
tant things and I often wonder at
the stupidity of wives who let their
husbands go. from them in the
| morning with a picture in their
minds that they carry with them
all day, of a frowzy woman in
soiled wrapper or of a cross, peevish,
fretful face, or the ranking mem
ory of a quarrel over the bacon and
eggs, or an early crouch of having
to get up and cook themselves some
sort of dyspepsia breeding mess in
hurry that they call a breakfast.
If you want to keep your man.
( get up and cook him a good break
fast. Never bring up an unpleasant
subject at the breakfast table, and
send him away with memory of a

Washington, October IS. - (UP) - The disappearance of Aviator Thomas II. Smith, Clarksburg, West Virginia, in Q rocky, desolate re- zion of Newfoundland remained ua' solved today despite the efforts oi Army pilots.
 First clue to the fate of Smith who took off from Portland, Me. on May %, 1o3o, for an unauthorized flight to London, was the discovery by Canadian flyers last month oi his wrecked plane in 6 wilderness about IS miles north of the south coast town of Burgeo.
 American army pilots then url- dertook two expeditions to the spot and late yesterday reported to the War Department here that there was no trace whatsoever of his body. He was alive and apparently well after his plane was grounded.
 On their first trip the searching party landed its plane on a small lake and worked It's way through dense underbrlSh to the wrecked plane. It was standing upright, scarcely damaged. The tires were still inflated.

SCHENCK TELLS

New York, Oct. l5-(UP)-Loew'S, Inc, had to pad It's treasury records in order to cover up $loo,0oo alleg- edly paid William Bioff and George E. Browne as insurance against e threatened strike, a witness testified In federal court today.
 Bioff and Browne west coast rep- resentative and president respective ly, of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (AFL) are on trial on a charge of shaking down leaders of the motion picture industry for $550,00o.
 Nicholas M. Schenck, president of Loew's, had testified that he donated $l00,000 because he was afraid that if he did not, his company would be ruinted.
 David Bernstein, treasurer and vice-president of Loews, testified to- day that 1t was left to him to figure out a way to reimburse the treasury for the $l0o,00o allegedly paid the labor leaders. Introduced in evil dence were seven checks and seven vouchers through which the loss was covered, he said.

Almost 47,OOO Voters To Pull Down Levers
Largest Number of Names in History Will Be On Flee. tion Lsts-Largest Previous List TotaIIed
 up 44,879 Votes

The voting list for the l94l city election will contain the names of close to 47,00o voters, largest in history for municipal election here, it was estimated today by Demo- cratic Registrar John T. Derwin and Deputy Registrar Michael F. Slavin. Republican Registrar Albert o. Fall Ter said he thought the total would probably be considerably less, but Michael J'Anthony, Republican aide and secretary of the Republican town committee said he thought around 47 900" would be fair estimate.
 Largest previous registration for city election was in 1899, when there were 44,S70 votes eligible to cast ballots. For the presidential and state election in ie40, there were 47,023 votes registered.
 The number of new voters made during the past year is approxi- mateiy 1900, but this will be more or less balanced by removals from the list because of death or other reasons.
 Those Stricken of
 Policemen continued today to serve notices to several hundred per- sons warning them that their names will be stricken from the lists unless they appear at the City Hall by Sat- urday at 5 p. m. to pove themselves qualified to ballot in the city elec- ton. Approximately 500 such notices are being delivered, but in many cases the persons named cannot be located by the police. Several hun dred persons eligible to vote here last year have since moved from the city, many to such suburban towns as Prospect, Wolcott and Middlebury.
 Party leaders say that it is too early to predict the size of rhe vote in the election but there is gen. eral belief that the city will follow the trend shown in recent elections elsewhere about the state and reg ister a comparatively light vote. To counteract this trend party workers are busy making plans to get out as heavy 8 vote as possible.
 Official figures on the 194l election list will not be available until, few days before election.

 London, Oct. 15-(UP)-Milltary quarters reported today that the Germans, driving with ever-increas- ing fury on Moscow, were trying to sweep the tide of their great offensive completely around the city in the greatest encirclement movement of the war.
 Authoritative informants reported that the Russians were holding west of Moscow but that the Germans were gaining in a steamroller drive in the Kalinin area, 100 miles north- northwest of the city, and were thrusting forward along the Khar- kov-M Moscow railroad from the south.
 It was suggested here that these two thrusts were intended as double stab and that the Kalinin and southern forces would try to drive east of Moscow and, effectine contact there, cut of the capital.
 Radio Helsinki reported today that the Gerynbans had effected Q hold on Kaluga, 100 miles south-south- west of Moscow on the Bryansk- Moscow railroad and 60 miles west of Tula, on the Kharkov-Moscow railroad.

Nazi Tank Columns Driving
 Four Abreast Upon Moscow
First Great Trade Treaty Since
 1853 With Argentina Hits Hitler
Treaty Signed Last Night After 10 Years of Effort
 for Improvement
BY Fl. o. THOMPSON

(UnlVc0 FreSS StaH CVLTeSpOuueutI
 Washington, Oct. 15-(UP)-The first trade treaty between the United States and Argentina since 1853 was hailed in administration circles to- day as 6 major diplomatic victory over Axis efforts to penetrate the western hemisphere.
 The treaty was signed last night in Buenos Aires over 10 years or more of efforts in both countries to improve trade relations. It does not require Senate ratification.
 The United States and Argentina long have been trade rivals-both top dogs in their respective con- tinents. Efforts in the past to irn- prove trade relations have failed principally because both have large surpluses of farm products for ex- port--wheat, wool, beef, corn and other foodstuffs.
 Today. however, with world trade upset by war in Europe and Asia, and the threat of commercial infll- tration by Germany into South America - especially Argentina = signing of the treaty has political implications of great importance hidden behind the prosaic listings of trade terms, per centages and statistics of some 200 tariff items.
 Critic Is Answered
 But this did not prevent western and midwestern senators from criti- cizing the treaty as soon as they had learned of its provisions.
 Sen. Hugh Butler, R., Neb., said producers of beef cattle, dairy pro- ducts, wool and flaxseed again "are sacrificed under the time-worn ex- cuse of national emergency.
 Congress unfortunately has given away Its powers to ratify these treaties, so we have no immediate recourse
 But Sen. Joseph 0. oMahoney, D., Wyo, a leader of past Senate fights against navy and army pur- chase of Argentine canned corned beef, pointed out that fresh meat was not touched upon in the treaty "a fact that will please western cattlemen."

 NOT VERY DEFINITE Japan Is All Aroused Again -Nazis Wants Some
 Action in Far East

@1 SVkS EAA@A1f& AvA~AbA@AG Limited Press Staff COrrespondensj
 Adolf Hitler'S nechanized spearheads crashed deeper into reinforced Red army de- lenses around Moscow today and Japan appeared ready to take advantage of the critical Russian situation. German tank columns were said by Berlin to be driving four abreast within possibly 50 or 60 miles of the Soviet capital while dive bombers and parachute troops battled to disrupt the Rus- sian lines.
 Moscow dispatches 6 dmitted enemy gains but said that the Red Army still was intact and fighting back so powerfully that heavy losses were inflicted on the enemy, ale though London military experts were concerned lest the main Russian forces be entrapped in the Moscow areas
 Tn these circumstances, the Axil pressure on Japan to strike in the far east (frorn which some Russian forces were reported withdrawnl appeared to be increasing and vital decisions seemed imminent ct Tokyo,
 The extreme nationalist organiza- ton Tohokai demanded that the Japanese government end negotia. tions with the United States for easing the Pacific crisis and this was supported in part by a meeting ct 60 members of the House of Repre-. sentativeS organization seeking t0 encourage the government to carry out forcibly and speedily plans fcs a new order in East Asia.
 All Points To Trouble
 There were only indications ot the nature of decisions which tho Japanese government of Premier Flmimaro Konoye was believed tG have been made before the Premier reported to Emperor Hirohito, but all of the signs were opposed to the efforts of the United States and Britain to maintain the status quo
 Konoye had conferred for tive days with important political per- Sonages-a customary sign of grava developments. The army and navy announced changes in important personnel and the privy council shortened university and collega terms to speed entry of students inta the armed forces.
 The Tokyo press put increasing emphasis on demands that the United States change its "funda- mental policy in regard to the Fai East and in charging that any com flict would be the sole responslbii. ity of Washington's alleged attempts to "encircle" Japan.
 All of these factors, coupled with the recent activities of star Axil diplomatic agents in the Far Easl and reported pressure from Berlin indicated that Tokyo's attempts ta reach an agreement with the United States and Britain which would per- nit Japan to continue her expans sion program unmolested had failed
 Japanese extremists have taken the view that force should be used at once to carry out the East Asia
