garden rake. A harassed young'
woman hands them the proper COM
plements and shoves them on to the
next part Of the sartorial assembly
line. Incidentally, we might pause
here long enough to say that we've
seen fashion trends made right in
this very spot. For example, the
other day at fashion show girl in
q tailored sport dress dashed out for
her accessories and the young lady
behind the table thrust a bunch OF
colorful flowers at her. Put 'em in
your belt" snarled the young lady.
Flowers in the belt of sport
dress?" marveled the model. Sure,
if Vogue can use 'em on slacks, why
should we hesitate?" So, you see, all
your style trends don't come from
the big names" Well bet next
weeks salary that several young
ladies in the audience will adopt that
trend for semidressy summer eve
nings-and nice it will be, too.
Having pushed the models past
the accessory table. they are thrust
into the waiting arms of two or
three hairdressers who comb their
disheveled locks and pin in any
butterflies, bows or assorted frills
that might be needed for that par
ticular costume. There's a final,
critical look in a three-way mirror.
during which the adjusting OF
stocking seams and the straighten-
ing of hats-if any-is accom-
plished.
But the model is still far from
the runway. An assistant buyer
wants to know if she has her little
card with the number of the dress
to correspond to the number on the
program. Another inquiries whether
her shoes are a trifle on an off,
shade with that ensemble. A third
tells her that she's tied the bow
on that hat 50 incorrectly under
her chin that it makes her look as
though she has sore throat. Mean
time assistants to the assistants are
punching and pushing at the model
to make sure all the price tags
never removed-are safely hidden
from view.
Then the model must find her cor
rect place in the line waiting to

words, if she's No. 6. by hook or

as the piece de resistance, a nasty

is produced. Maybe the audience
doesn't notice: fashion writers
always do. Usually the microphone
goes on the blink for a sickening
moment or two. Too often the mas

The Duke of Windsor keeps pop
ping up in fashion news about casual
clothes for active wear and he's also
figuring rather prominently in the
spectator sports field, too.
For example, he is enthusiastic
about color in these slightly dressier
togs, choosing suit of prominent
check in dark and light brown, or
perhaps loud blue and gray check,
double breasted and sweeping lapel.
The suit is worn buttoned only at
the lower button, giving draped
low effect to the coat.
Even In ties, this fancy for vivid
checks and plaids is carried out
which is nice trick, but the aver
age, less-famous man might do well
to 60 easy on the combinations.
Something every man can adopt,
however, is the dukes preference
for linen ties in the Bahamas. It's
an equally good hunch for torrid
city wear.

Beauty Aids

Special Cosmetics
Created for New
Glamour Girl
By Patricia Lindsay

Time was when the woman over
40 satisfied herself with a powder
compact, a small cake of rouge and
perhaps a bottle of perfume which
she used all too sparingly. She
had one jar of cream which was
called "all-purpose" and most likely
did not answer any purpose! But
today. the mature woman enjoys
specific corrective and beautifying
cosmetics mixed for her beauty
alone and a colorful. charming as
sortment of beauty accessories.
The year 1941 finds our mature,
or maturing, lady even smarter
than many of her younger sisters.
She has determined her individu-
ality and has dramatized it by
dressing suitably, wearing her
main to set off her best features
and by keeping her beauty intact
through intelligent routine.

Cosmetic firms realize their big

In this there is a plastic case of

Surmises About Vichy
(NeW York Times)

(New York Times)
 IL is easy and pleasant to build dream castles upon the rumors emanating from time to time from inoccuped France but it would be well to test the foundation before accepting the castles as real The current travellers tales supposed to have inspired General de Gaulle's latest appeal to Frenchmen to keep up the fight against Germany pretty ilimsy material on which to base sober thinking.
 It may be true that Marshal Petan is per- hitting number of French naval officers to spend their vacations" in North Africa but there are many reasons why, if it is true, the fact may mean little or nothing. Food is more plentiful in Africa and there are more distractions than in the unoccu pied zone in France; the Marshal may desire to keep his naval officers well fed and contented It may also be his interest to have it known by direct contact that his Government is functioning with loyal support from the navy Similarly the move ment of one or two French warships to North Afri- can ports simultaneously with the return of its Governor to French Morocco may be merely in ac- cordance with routine need.
 Again Marshal Petan may be and probably is determined to rule France, free of foreign imposi- tions' Gas far as possibe), and be willing to go to prison rather than give way to demands for the passage of German troops through the occupied zone But the German troops would not be deterred from marching by the spectacle of the venerable Marshal behind bars. And there is no force to stop them.
 Budapest nformants" are said to hear that Petain has threatened to permit Weygands African army to join forces with de Gaue and unite with the British in an advance on Libya, if the German peace terms are unreasonable although the censor in Budapest does not permit anything detrimental to German plans to circulate in that German sphere of influence There seems to be lot of wishful thinking in the surmises about what the Vichy Gov ernment can and will do.

INVENTIONS WANTED

The job of the Naval Consulting Board in 1917 was to mobilize inventors Now the time has come again to mobilize American inventive genius for defense advises Stuart Chase famed economist. The machinery for doing it has already been set up in Washington.
 During the last war the Board passed on 10000
 nyentons,9 of which 75 percent were worthless But two percent the total useful and that means 22O0 worthwhile inventions uncovered Among these practical suggestions Chase were an im- proved bomb sight, rapid-fire gum method of manufacturing gun tubes by hydraulic pressure and a seasled carrying a full-sze torpedo at 50 miles an hour.
 Since we have started active defense prepara- tions there has been set up in Washington the Ma tional Inventors Council, to which all inventions can be sent There they will be surveyed by experts in each field and, if found possessed of germ of an idea will be further considered The inventors plan goes first to the evaluaon and classification department. Here sit the engineers who determine whether he's got something. From the examiners, the idea goes to one Of the Councils l2 committees

WE STILL NEED ROADS

The Presidents recommendation for an increase in the appropriation for Alaska roads is welcome news from Washington. The proposed boost from S5700O0 to 800 is a large one in view of the fact that most ordinary expenditures are being cut to the bone in 1941. Of the Alaska road ap- propriation will still be ridculously small and out of all proportion to the need for roads in the Ter ritory But we are grateful for small favors.
 Roads in Alaska should be considered by the Federal Government military preparedness, and 1t is possible that money will be available on that account. As long as the Army base at Anchor age is connected with the base at Fairbanks only by the Alaska Railroad both bases are vulnerable As long as there is road to the Interior from South east Alaska, the Interior and Westward bases are subject to isolation from the States.
 We want more roads We've wanted them for long time and it's gratifying now to have Wash ington begin to pay some attention to our urgent requirements.

Stimson deserved a lot more at tention.
 A World War ace and organizing expert, Lovett was brought to Washington for the specific pur- pose of helping to unravel the snarls that are begging down plane production. His particular job will be to wield an axe on the mountain of red-tape that has the Air Corps tied in knot.
 Some of these inner checks are fantastic. For example: it takes literally bale of paper-work to place an order for plane supplies.
 Lovett wasted no time wading into his job. While most of the Defense executives took time out for the holidays, he stuck to his desk, including New Years day, keeping two stenographers busy. He didn't even go out to lunch, but took a snack of milk and crackers at his desk.
 Lovett also introduced a per- sonal innovation when he took of flee. One of the few civilian execu- tives in the Defense set-up who severed all business connections, Lovett, who was formerly part ner in the banking firm of Brown Brothers Hartman, alsd Slun- tarily filed with Secretary Stimson a complete list of all his security holdings and bank accounts.
 He even resigned as trustee of the Carnegie Foundation, the Met ropolitan Museum of Art and sev- eral philanthropic organizations. NEW DEMOCRATIC TREASURER

 Mingled good and evil are indi- cated in the planetary aspects for today. It is day for seeking per sonal recreation There is sign read as depressing to employers for labor will make urgent de- mands.
 Heart and Home: This is time to watch the thoughts. The stars stimulate study and encourage training in scientific subjects. Un- der this head cooking should be listed, since diet is to become of special concern owing to the preva- lence of intestinal influenza. Stom- ach troubles due to nerve strain also are indicated. Nurses will be greatly needed through this year
 Business Affairs: In this period of prosperity the successful men of the future will be those who pre- pare for changed conditions m trade and commerce. This winter has been designated as a milestone in progress which marks the turn ing away from old traditions and customs, old policies and financial methods. Housing should be pro- noted on a large scale by cities, for there is to be a postwar short age unless peace prevails before l943
 National Issues While men are trained for war, women should be trained for peace, the seers de- clare. In view of future economic exigencies, equal rights will be urged by those who oppose hamper ing laws discriminating against women workers. Owing to theA ef- fleets of wars women have been compelled to be wage -eafners, each conflict adding to the pro- portion necessarily employed. After the present European total war, stranger changes are forecast.
 International Affairs: For Fire the coming summer is to be difficult Severe economic strain is foretold Leaders in the government will be removed by death. After the long struggle for independence the Irish patriots may be glad to seek pro- lection from London. Dominions and colonies of the British Empire are to prove their loyalty, even though they may undergo serious catastrophes from enemy ships and airplanes.
 Persons whose birthdate it * have the augury of year of gain and even extraordinary success There may be some anxiety in the domestic circle.
 Children born on this day should be exceedingly lucky all through their lives. They may be too kine to friends and too sympatheti, generally. They may be easily i'm posed upon.

bers conduct themselves so as to insure their reelection in l942.
 Rayburn revealed that he and Mccormack had entered into a two-way agreement with Roose- velt. The President promised to confer with House leaders on all moves he planned to make during the session; and in return, Ray burn and Mccormack pledged more united backing from the Demo- cratS.
 I'm depending on all of you to back us up on this" Rayburn said. T don't expect 100 percent support for everything the Presi- dent proposes. But at the same time I don't want 50 or 60 percent support, which isn't enough to off, set Republican opposition. You ought to go along at least 90 per- cent Of the time"
 Mccormack stressed the neces- sity of the Democrats being present to vote on amendments to impor- tant bills. The fact that Republi- cans stuck to the floor en masse, while many Democrats were absent, he pointed out, accounted for much of the knifework against New Deal legislation last session.
 The majority leader also strongly advised new members to give the utmost attention to the needs of their constituents, chiefly by run ming efficient offices and answer ing mail promptly.
 Young congressman make na- tional regulations by what they dc on the floor" Mccormack said sagely, but they get reelected by the personal services they perform ! for their constituents. We must all of us keep this in mind if we want to retain control of the House in 1922 and pave the way for another presidential victory two years later
