BY DONNA GRACE

WHILE we are all satisfied,
w the girls of this era are far
superior and more physically
perfect than the poor handi-
capped maidens of former years.
1t is fact, none the less, that
the same feeling of superiority
existed with each generation of
the past.
It's nice custom, too, isn't
it? And one that will always
endure. Modern young people
are generally strong and healthy.
but recently we have observed
many who look as if the very
thought of a good brisk walk or
vigorous few sets of tennis would
make them i'll.

Most of these young girls are

stage the facial contours need

skin itself will lack color and
have none of the translucency of
youth.

with city prints and with light

An influence

W
Incidentally, it's very curious
to see how much influence
world affairs have had on the
gay life of our big cities. In
New York itself. except for the
charity balls, there are almost
no big dressup parties. Instead,
there are many more intimate
little dinners, where friends sit
about and talk and talk into the
small hours of the morning.
For this, America has pro-
duced the perfect answer-the
dress with the shirtwaist top.
It's the dinner dress of the
year. I can't talk too much
about it! 1t practically always
has a white Shirtwaist top and a
full skirt. The skirt may be
lace-or printed crepe-or per-
haps plaid taffeta. 1t may be
plain crepe in color that is in
sharp contrast with the top. 1t
has a hard little tailored belt.

Do Dress

As soon as it gets a little
warmer. you'll be wearing a
print dress with a short, fitted
wool jacket in some shade that
goes with something in the print

Hats--Hair

1dIS-T1dif
Hats. in general, are mostly
small-because the most impor-
tant part of your face is around
your forehead and brow. The
milliners are the first ones to
say that your front hair makes
your hat. Unless your hair is
groomed to the mines, your hat
never will be right. You may
wear a full, curly fringe, or
maybe you like a pompadour.
1t isn't fashion that will decide
that question, but your own
face.
But by all means. whether
you have bangs or pompadour
or just a smooth. brushed-up
look, make sure that your hair
is neat and fiat at the sides.
At the blackwell, there's an
other point you must decide for
yourself. Up or down, it doesn't
matter.
The news in shoes is colored

 Furthermore, said Saroyan, T believe that art in Its way, is as great a weapon for the defense of right as a strong army and strong navy.

GERMAN PILOTS
 MAY BE, REPLACED

Washington, Aug. 13-(UP)-A plan for replacement of all German pilots on South and Central Ameri- can airlines by Latin Americans trained in this country is being for mulated by government officials, it was disclosed today.
 Officials consider employment of the German airmen a potential menace to the Panama Canal and major drawback to cooperative plans for hemispheric defense. A number of American republics al- ready have busted German pilots in favor of their own nationals and U. s. flyers, but others have been unable to obtain well-Qualifled re- placements. ;

FRENCH SAILORS
 HAVE DESERTED

Manila, P. T.. August 13. tUP) - Four members of the crew of the French steamer Marechal Joffre, which arrived here yesterday with American refugees from French Indo- China, deserted ship today and said they planned to join the Free France movement. It was reported that other crew members planned to jump ship rather than serve 400 Japanese. scheduled to board the ship here as passengers. The Japanese, evacuating the Phil ippines, were booked for Shanghai.
 Frenchmen arriving from Saigon said that Japan now had 11,O00 ex- celIently equipped, mechanized troops on the Thailand frontier. Some of those aboard the ship were bitter in their cfsticisnl of the Vichy government which. they said. had sold Indo- China .:down the river to Japan

 "There may even be some actors I've heard of broke actors-who can't afford to work without pay.
 People aren't going to buy tick cts just because they heard the ac- tors worked for nothing. They'll want good show and I will admit it's going to take some doing to make this one into a profitable picture. I'll certainly need the best in talent and I intend to pay for it.
 'T'll even pay Saroyan for the screen rights and also for his ser- vices in adapting his play. He then can give this money to na- tional defense and I'll give mine and I'll let him see the books.

DOLLAR DAY FOR
 THRIFTY BUYERS
Merchants of City to Open Their Doors Thursday
 With Many Bargains
(NEA Telephoto)

Thrifty Waterbury housewives will throng the downtown business dis trtct tomorrow, seeking the bargains which local merchants are offering in their semi-annual Dollar Day. In view of the economic situation to- day, it seems probable that this will be, the last chance to purchase many of the kinds of merchandise before prices rise sharply.
 All the city's progressive mer- chants are cooperating in bringing to Waterbury shoppers this unusual opportunity to save money on a grand scale, and offering spectacular bargains in food, in furniture, in clothing, and in every line of mer- chandiSe. This is a chance to save money not only on purchases of ar- ticles for summer use, but also on supplies of all kinds for the fall, especially in apparel for children ot school age.
 Stores throughout the city will open at 9:30 tomorrow morning, and the merchants are hoping the pres ent cool clear weather will last at least ore, day longer, and make shopping a more pleasant task. Prices have been widely slashed, in the effort to clear out stocks of summer bathing suits and sports wear of all kind, and there will be bargains galore for customers. Early fall stocks will also be on sale, at prices lower than those (which will probably prevail later in Etiie season.
 All in all, this promises to be one Ecf Waterbury's most successful bar gain days, and the city's merchants advise customers to arrive early, in order to get the choicest pickings among the many which will be offer led to the public.

Other Brit ish bombers smashed at Magdeburg, Hanover and the big Krupp armament works at Essen, cutting a swath of death and de- struction through the heart of in- dustrial west Germany.
 Airfields in Holland, the docks at Le Havre and shipping in Norwe- gian harbors also were attacked.

Admiral Darlan Is Given Some Powers, But Far From Complete Control PETAIN HAS BANISHED
 FREEMASON LODGES Germany Is Not Satisfied Because Pierre Laval Is
 Still Left Outside
BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent

Vichy, France, August 13. - (UP) = Frances latest cabinet shake-up, increasing the powers of Vice Premier Admiral Jean Darlan, was described by informants to- day as merely a technical move to synchronize defenses. The impression that Darlan had been placed in supreme command of the Colonial armies of General Maxine Weygand in Africa in addition to the admiralty, fleet and air force, was said by these in formants to be erroneous, and the angry tone Of the pro- German Paris press over the fact that Pierre Laval was given no office indicated that the shake-up had failed to entirely win favor with Germany.
 The official journal appearing at 6:30 yesterday evening said: 'The ministry of national defense (headed by Darlan) has been created with the following attributions: CD The general organization of na- tional defense; (2) Distribution and use of the armed forces; (3) General inspection of the armed forces. The secretarits for war, navy, air and colonies come under the ministry of national defense."
 The ministry of colonies, rather than the war ministry, has charge of the colonial armies, and the plac- ing of the colonial ministry under Darlan would mean that he had been made supreme commander of all the armed forces of the empire, and that Weygand and his troops were subject to Darlan's orders.

 At 8:30 D. m., however, the govern ment announced that Darlan's de

 Washington, Aug. B - (UP) - President Roosevelt is expected to land somewhere on the northeast coast in a day or two and then he may dispel the great mystery sur rounding his vacation cruise = whether he had conferred with Brit ish Prime Minister Winston Chur- chill:
 Since he embarked on his cruise in the North Atlantic Aug. 3, only cryptic messages have come from the Yacht Potomac, and there haven't been any of those since Saturday.
 Washington, London and other capitals meanwhile have boiled with rumors that Churchill and Roose- welt, and perhaps others, were meet ing at sea or at some isolated North Atlantic point.

Hollywood, Aug. 13-(UP)--Wil- liam Saroyan. who put a $250 900 price tag on a pointless play so movie makers wouldn't poster him and then offered it to them free if the profits went to national de- fense, finally got a nibble today.
 Lester Cowan, producer at Colum- bia Studios, announced he would accept Saroyan's dramaless drama, .'The Time of Your Life," make it into a movie and give the pro- ceeds to defense work.
