Refused TO Tell
Who Welded Bayonet

Though he can't remember
when or why he wanted 10 be a
soldier, Marshall recalls wildly
that he didn't go to West Point
because the Republican congress
man from Uniontown, Pa, was
angry at his Democratic father
and refused the appointment. He
enrolled at VMI and two months
later was the school hero by
reason Of his refusal 20 tell just
how he was wounded and who
held the bayonet that nipped him
during maneuvers.

Marshall Is extremely popular
with his staff but has the sort OF

ing and drinking, the general and
Mrs. Marshall frequently entertain

Parade Grounds
Hero at VMl

Life has smiled on General Mar
shall both in his military career
and privately. He became the
parade ground hero at the Vir-
GINA Military Institute. commonly
known as the West Point of the
South. and was picked by Gen.
BLACK Jack" Pershing as mill
tary prodigy when not much older
than the average second lieutenant
AS chief of operations staff in
France under PerShing and later
as the strong-chinned generals
aide-de-camp. Marshall has seen
more of the inner-workings OF the
army's nerve-centers than any
other general in active service.
Responsible only 10 the Presi-
dent and Secretary of War Slim
son. Marshall enjoys the respect
and admiration of Congress which
can and does put across many OF
his two superiors'' plans which
they couldn't sell themselves. His
vast. technical knowledge based or
observations here and abroad anc
continual investigation of newer
and more effective ways and
means of building a powerful
lightning-quick striking force
stand him in good stead on CapitoI
Hill.
The chief OF staff bears M
resemblance whatever TO the fine
old moss-backed brasshats of the
army hierarchy of past decades
He has the layman's weakness OF
growing and snarling at the red
tape which abounds in govern
mental agencies in general anc
the service branches specifically.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.-It is
more than possible that Gen.
George c. Marshall. chief OF staff
of the United States Army. will
change the style in army generals
the way Grace Moore and Lily
Pons revolutionized the pattern
for opera divas.
General Marshall looks, acts,
talks and is as far removed from
the popular conception of a big
wig general as todays expanding
army of 1,545, 400 is from yester-
days ignored and underprivileged

SLEEK JERSEY-There's a
fabric that you'll love for Sum-

against your skin, it's material
you love to touch. And one that
has gained in popularity this
season, according to the last
polls.
Jersey. may we point out, is a
luh-vuh-ly fabric which is emf
nently packable. and therefore
recommended for vacation wear.
IT doesn't wrinkle or crinkle-
shows no signs of WEAKNESS
after being tucked away for
days in your travelling bag.
COOL FABRIC dresses are
the desirable ones. And nothing
could be more satisfactory than
a cool rayon dress. All the girls
are picking 'em-for morning
and afternoon wear and spe-
cially for holidays.
Appropriate at all times are
the latest two-tone combinations
in rayon jersey. Bright colors
contrasted with white or har-

darker shades are taking the
lead.

Another two-tone jersey is the

are other features.
PALMLEAF GREEN is the
elongated bodice while the full.

Applicable TO Home

AS the title indicates, the ma
terial pertains TO industrial IL
Elimination but il is equally APP
plicable to home lighting. Since
improper diffusion and glare are
two major factors in eye strain.
Doctor Hardy has reported tests
by which these impediments to
vision may be detected.
To determine whether you are
subjecting your eyes to glare,
hold a mirror where your work
or book is. If you can see the
source of light in. or outside of
the mirror. there is specular re-
Election and you should either
move or adjust your work to
avoid II. The nearer the light TO
the line of vision. the. greater
the chance of glare.
OF the $4,000, 900 incandescent
lamps installed in industrial
plants throughout the country in
1882, our authority estimated
that less than Is per cent were
so installed that no glare re-
suited, and that if no more than
Is per cent of the industrial ac-
cidents were caused by poor
lighting. the annual cost
amounted to S150,000,000.
1t is easily seen why industry
has placed so much stress on
proper illumination during re-
cent years. It is just as impor-
tant to have good lighting in the
home.

Chocolate brown is one Of the
smartest of the new colors, and
its effectiveness to a scheme of
rose-quartz and turquoise as
suggested above cannot be ex-
celled.
