GRE
GENERoUsLY-CURvED hip line is
as feminine as a pompadour
- - perched above brow, or as an
engagingly red mouth. But wayward
hips, which lose their relationship
with the narrow span of the waist and
the small curves of the breast, can
give woman's figure a triangular
silhouette which lacks good proper
tions.
If this is your figure problem, it is
nice to know that you have one of the
easiest to disguise, and one of the SIM
plest to correct with exercise.
First, let us examine the possibii-
ties of corset and dress as method of
disguise. To give you expert direc-
ton, turned to a world-famous de-
signer - the American-born Main
bocher, now established in New York
Up until the decline of the French
coutoure, he headed one of the great
dressmaking houses in Paris, with such
clients as the best dressed Duchess
of Windsor. Lady Mendl. the Princess

'INE
Another sure-fre trick is to flag in
terest away from your hip and onto
some good feature at safe distance
from them - such as your pretty
face, your tiny waist or the lovely col
umn of your throat. Use some eye
batting detail or color-foil at that
point. advises Mainbocher.
Then. there is skirt disguise. Either
gathered full at the waist or belling
out from the slender, upper part of
your hips, a skirt will conceal lower
bulges.
Back fullness inserted in a sheath
of skirt, such as Mainbocher uses
in his swan silhouette, will disguise
hustle of flesh," if that is all you
need to conceal.
Your hair and hats also play a
role in this figure masquerade. The
better you build up the top part of
your figure. the more you minimize
the triangular base. Curve out your
hair with pompadour; or widen your
hairline with halo of curls; or float
out your bob with fuller curls. Wear
sizable hats or make tiny topper
moro ippOrt nt with ot;Hapad uaiI;no
or trimming.
Mof Exercises
30 MUCH for dress Next, let's con-
slider the exercise mat, where, if you
will spend fifteen minutes day. every
day, you can trim down wayward
bulges on thighs, hips and the lower
back.

ODOROUS Thief
Perfume His Technique

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8. (UP)-
Charles E. Erwin, 21-year-old bur-
glary suspect, disclosed a new tech
nique today. Erwin told police he
sprayed perfume literally around
places he robbed to make authorit-
les think a woman was operating.
Erwin, a corn-fed lad from Omaha
who had escaped from several re-
formatorieS and jails, according to
his own admission, had met just
too many other burglars trying to
rob the same house, and he was
jittery.
Il pretended l had a gun and
scared hell out of that fellow said
Erwin, proudly, as he told how he
had run across another second
story worker and experienced "a
little difficulty" in robbing the same
house in the West-Hollywood area
Erwin smelled of fancy perfumes.

guise.
That's my own system" he told
Capt. Dalton r. Patton of the police

Wages Stabilized
By So. California
Aircraft Builders
Three Firms Boost
Scales to New Level
In Concerted Move

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 8.
(UP)-Wage stabilization III
the vast southern California
aircraft industry was believ-
ed near today, as three manu-
facturers, employing 39,500 persons,
raised their scales to the same lev
els.
The Douglas Aircraft company,
with $4,000 workers; Vultee Aircraft,
Incorporated, with 5000, and North
rop Aircraft, with $500, raised be-
ginners' wages to 60 cents an hour,
with five cent an hour raises each
four weeks, until a base of rs cents
an hour is reached
Lockheed Aircraft offered the
same scale to its employees, but the
Aeronautical lodge (AFL), which
represents them, refused it. 1t was
understood that Lockheed workers,
who have been negotiating for a
flat rs cent an hour minimum, OBJ
jected to the progressive scale.
The stabilization was sponsored
by the Office of Production Man
agement and the army, which sug-
gested that wages be raised industry
wide to the scale at North Ameri-
can Aircraft company. The OPM
set the North American scale after
the army broke a United Automo-
bile Workers strike there last June

Capt Patton was a bit skeptical
of the confession that Erwin had
committed 40 burglaries, but he
couldn't discount the dime-store
perfume.

be a gentleman burglar just like
raffles,' said Erwin, who is six

Inc LONDON reports CldlIlleu Illdl
all leaves of Spanish officers and
soldiers in Spanish Morocco have
been cancelled since Tuesday in
apparent contemplation of move
into Frances adjacent Moroccan
colony.
The Morocco reports offered
possible explanation for an appar-
emily urgent session of Frances
military triumvars at Vichy.
Those at the Vichy session were
Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, Ad-
miral Jean Francois Darlan, Vice
premier, and Gen. Maxine Wey-
gand. Weygand flew back from
Africa for the meeting and Darlan
arrived by automobile from Paris
where he had been comforting with
the German occupation authorities.
1t seemed apparent that if Spain
is getting ready to move into French
Morocco the action is at the instiga-
ton of Germany. A large-scale Ger
man pressure drive on the Vichy
regime, apparently seeking the right
to protect" the French bases in
Africa of Dakar, Casablanca and
Algiers, has been in progress for
nearly two weeks.
VICHY STANDS FIRM
Indications rom Vichy have been
that Petain, Darlan and Weygand
are standing firm against any con-
cessions to Germany similar to
those granted Japan in French In
do-China.
There have been reports from a
number of of sources that Germany
is urgently seeking coup in Africa,
presumably at the expense of the
French, in order to distract from
the arduous battle in Russia and to
portect the southern German flank
against any offensive action that
might be taken in the future by
Britain or by the United States
should America enter the war.
The United States has repeated
ly and emphatically stated its in
terest in Frances protection of hei
African empire and particularly
the Dakar base against Axis inter-
ference or penetration.

against the French colony exist ir

Setting forth the dairymen's stand
in the controversy, John Watson,
former president of the Associated
Farmers of California and spokes-
man for the Sonoma- Marin county
milk committee said
metropolitan methods of union
organizations are not applicable to
agricultural areas, particularly when
perishable food is the target of
economic pressure.
The theory of labor relations
is one of equalizing bargaining
power. But the effect of picket
lines like those in the present case
merely deprives the farmer of his
bargaining power and thereby
throws the theory out of balance >"
Approximately 200 dairymen were
in Petaluma today as observers of
the second peace conference. The
AFL mixers union and milk drivers

and wage increases, and the dairy
men, in turn, asked a better price
for their proGuct from the distrib-
utors.

Indies and China were at
tempting to encircle her, and that
it remained to be seen whether
Russia was participating.
In Washington, Secretary of State
Cordell Hull said that no law -abid-

Hull told press conference he as
sumed that if any country found
itself encircled by law-abiding areas
it could be due only to its own
actions.
Kon Ishii, spokesman for the gov
ernment information board, said
Japan had no further doubts that
Britain, China, the United States
and the Dutch were attempting to
encircle both Japan and Thailand
militarily, economically and politi-
cally.

Peipin said the Dutch government
had advised its nationals to leave
occupied China unless they had
important business there, and a dis
