ROMANCE CERTAINLY ran
high back in the zoos. Bold

parents. They went by stage
coach and horseback, stopping
at rowdy inns where the bride
was frightened out of her wits
and the young husband taking
time off en- route to fight a duel
over her.

Decorations
Add Gaye+y
To Feasts
BY ELEANOR ROSS

PART OF the delight of the
holiday dinner is in decorating
the table.
Consider carefully the artistic
height for your table decora-
tionS.
Those that are too high are
awkward. and those that are too
low become monotonous TO the
eye unless very colorful.
All table decorations should
be narrow. The table should not
at any time look crowded or
heavy.
Cenferpieces
Centerpieces are of infinite va
riety, but TO our way of thinking
flowers offer the most beauty
and color.
A low container of bright
flowers, flanked by yellow cam
dies, would make "A beautiful
and colorful piece, as would an
artistically arranged container
of fruits.
Unusual effects may he OBJ
tanned with mirror plaques,
mirrored table tops. with clever
combinations of fruits and flow
ers, with crystal trees and flow
ers with little china or pottery
turkeys or traditional figurines.
Setting the Table
To balance the centerpiece,
decorative compete dishes two
or four in number, are generally
placed towards the ends of the
table.
Set the table with precision.
After the silence cloth is laid,
spread the table cloth which
should be carefully adjusted so
that its one and only crease is
placed exactly in the center of
the table.
The cloth should fall from II
to Is inches below the table
edge. Then place your center
decorations, the centerpiece, the
candles and compotes.
After this, the places are set
and if possible allow the stand
ard space Of "a inches measuring
from the center of one service
plate to the center of the~neXt.
Fifteen inches is the usual
depth for each setting.

Blow TO Hitler Seen
In Russian-PoIish Treaty.
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

7 ONDON-The signing of the
- Russian-Pollsh friendship
pact is diplomatic military
move of prime Importance and
indicates great sagacity on the
part of the Russian government.
It leaves Adolf Hitler as the
only enemy, actual or ponten-
tial. of the small nations of
Europe. 1t is A thorough-going
reputation of the whole Russo
German pact.
If German has any case
whatsoever, Poland and Russia
have an equally good one and
have had ever since 1918. The
Polish frontiers were drawn
after 80 years and the division
could not be established with
exact photographic Justice. Mod
ern Poland included far more
Ukrainian and White Russian
racial stock than it ever did of
German stock.
Objective students OF ethno-
graphic questions challenged the
Eastern frontier settlement at
the time the division was made.
Therefore, the Russian gesture
will leave Germany without a
scrap of ground 10 stand on.
MEANWHILE, in the last two
wi years since Poland became
the victim of Hitler's aggression
and Warsaw the first heap of
rubble as the result OF the luft-
waffes activity. the Poles have
justified the right TO their coun-
try in the only way such a claim
ever can he justified.
They have demonstrated on
every battle line. in every
branch of service that they Will
die for Poland.
Some day a new SienkiewicZ

Poles He Will record that when
Poland's own military experts
advised her she could not hold

The astonishing item is that while the United States
was not at war between 1880 and 1910 it is THIRD in
percentages of debt increase.

He is a mixture of Aesop,

his talent waves the bodies Of

Northumberland ZOOS.
All of which is apropos of
"Dumbo," his latest. and not, TO
me, his most enjoyable cartoon.
What "Dumbo" lacks is the
spine of a real story, of a uni

''Pinocchio," the Three Little

of course turns up in "Dumbo. y

Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
sent generous aid through the
Dutch Red Cross, and an Allied
expeditionary force to aid the
Firms was prevented by Sweden,
which. acting under German
pressure, refused 10 allow the
transit of such a force through
Sweden.
TIME and again, the German
Il press justified the Soviet
action.
Finland was chided for not
having followed the policy OF the
Baltic states of COMPLIANCE
to Russia WITHOUT resistance.
On December z, the German
radio warned Norwa and
Sweden not TO let British and
French arms pass over their
territories to Finland, and on
December II Germany officially
denied that she was aiding Fin
land, scotching a persistent
rumor.
Peace came in Marcia nego-
tiated peace favored by the Ger
mans the peace that they
have been assisting Finland TO
overthrow.
DUT there is direct evidence of
ID Germanys connivance in the
first Russo-Finnish war. The
evidence is-ift- the speech of
Adolf Hitler, made July 20. 1910,
four months after the conclusion
of the first RuSSo-Finnish war.
In that speech Hitler said:
"A veritable wandering jew
among hopes is the possibility
of a fresh estrangement between
Germany and Russia. German
and Russian relations have been
finally established. Britain and
France continually credited Ger
many with the desire to conquer
territory which lay outside the
sphere of German interests. IL
was said at one time that Ger
many wanted to possess the
Ukraine, again fhat she intended
to invade Finland, yet again that
she had threatened Rumania.
Germany has taken no steps that
would lead her to exceed the
limits Of her sphere of interests,
NOR HAS RUSSIA DONE
ANYTHING OF THE KIND"
HERE is a clear justification in
II Hitler'S own words of the
Russian war against Finland.
This is what Hitler said in 1910:
But, on Nov. 4. 1941-just the
other day-a Berlin spokesman,
furious with the American Presi-
dent for proposing to mediate
peace between Russia and Fin
land, said that Germany had
been compelled to stand by with
bleeding heart during the first
RuSso-Finnish war because pre-
occupation in the West pre-
vented Germany from assisting
Finland.
1t was also the only thing that
prevented Germany from at
lacking Russia. which she was
supporting in the Finnish war
a year before!

States must try 10 use the port
