girl with q normal amount OF
ability, a cooperative attitude
and a good CLOTHES sense" is the
one who will 90 places, according
to personnel experts and stylists.
1t stands to reason that when
there's a secretarial or recep-
ZIONIST job available, it's going to
60 to the girl who most nearly
resembles those pictures of What
the well dressed business girl will
wear"
This process Of being well
groomed need not be costly one
either. A simple seersucker or
striped chambray suit costs no
more than a flamboyant print
dress Of rayon jersey. An effec-
tive wooden lapel pin is usually
priced lower than flashy rhine
stone model. and spectator pumps
won't wreck the budget any more
than those bright ballet slippers"
or the high-heeled mesh jobs
with open toes and backs. When
you make a choice, ask yourself
truthfully whether it's in good
taste, whether It's the type Of
thing pictured in the career girl
sections of various magazines
and newspapers, whether it's
something that is tasteful, ap-
propriate and not too "busy."
And when the wardrobe Is ac-
quired, keep it in the best possible
condition. Soap flakes, a clothes
brush and shoe polish require no
great expenditure and they do
pay dividends. There's no excuse
for slightly soiled collars and
blouses and gloves, no reason for
shoes that look as though they
are afflicted with an alergy to
shoe cleaner, and no possible
sense in wearing mussed up
dresses which obviously have
never seen an iron.
Far be 1t from the fashion
writers to suggest that the career
girl look like her great-aunt
Jane. Simplicity does not
mean dowdiness or uninteresting
clothes. Good grooming is a
matter Of appropriateness. Of
learning what the successful
business girls wear and Of resolv-
ing to look ones best no matter
how much reorganization 1t may
require.

Lacking any other form OF
amusement on this holiday, you
might spend your leisure mo-
ments playing little game called
what Is Washington Wearing?"
You may be surprised to find it
not only an interesting but an
educational pastlme, for the
clothes that smart women are
adopting hereabouts are certain
ly qualified to give observers
some good fashion ideas.
AS a matter of fact, we're be-
coming downright famous. A
new book entitled washington
Is Like That" by W. M. Kip
linger, points out that a current
theory in the National Capital
has it that the women of Wash
ington are the best-dressed wom-
en- in the world. This book,
which was published by Harper
& Bros. on May q. stresses that
the theory applies to the average
of dress, mot merely to the con-
centrations of we'll dressed wom-
en- such as those seen on Fifth
avenue, New York, or Grant ave-
nue., San Francisco"
All of which would seem to
mean that everywhere you look,
there are plenty of well-groomed
women, busily engaged in their
new war duties, in their jobs and
in their role of informal hostess
to small groups Of their friends.
Mrs. William P. MacCracken
has an evening frock OF vivid
green chiffon, banded in cob
webby black lace, which also
edges a green chiffon cape that
is most becoming to her bril-
liant coloring and vivacious
good looks. Nine. Ertegun,
wife of the Ambassador from
Turkey, wears smart print

blue, mauve and black. One
of the most effective prints seen
this season belongs to Mrs. Emil
Hurja, who tucks a bright green
bow in her blond curls to accent
the green in her evening gown

Simplicity Best
The Girl Win the NeQfest Clothes Wins Out
By Helen Toef

II all the words on correct
attire for business girls were laid
end to end, the chances are we'd
still have an epidemic Of scream
ing color combinations, ankle
socks and fussy dresses in the
office. However, the endurance
of fashion writer's closely rivals
that Of insurance statesmen. The
girls refuse to give up, and they
never cease being unhappy about
the lack of good grooming that
is evident among the typewriter
tappers hereabouts.
Lately, for example, there has
been an ankle-sock epidemic.
This, we believe, is caused by the
fact that there are so many very
young girls working today-and
at age 16 the ankle sock is
likely to be a most important
part OF the wardrobe. However.
it has no place in an office, and
though stockings are precious,
they must be worn to business.
Same thing with slacks. They
have their place, and it's certain
ly not among the filing cabinets.
No matter how "emancipated"
the war may make women, it's
not that potent-so save the
trousers for casual wear and stick
to simple dresses and suits for the
9-to-5 daily grind.
Moreover, when the word
simple" is used, we're not
kidding. What the fashion busi-
ness calls q busy" dress is the
sort of thing that all too often
depresses the bosses and, in
cidentally, keeps its wearer in
"the pool" while girls who
shun frilly, bow-trimmed, flower
adorned frocks 60 on to bigger
and better jobs. . A busy" dress,
as you probably have gathered, is
one with too much detail and
trimming, a super-fussy model
that belongs at a garden party,
not at a mahogany desk.
AS for getting ahead" in the
business world, take it from the
experts that correct dress is most
important. Needless to say, the
poor speller and inefficient typist
can't make the grade even If she
looks like a glorified version Of
Madeline Carroll. But the career

By winning four points from the third place Sales team, while the second place Accounting was losing three to the Purchasing, the Sup- plies increased their Chase office Grand street lead to five points. The Production in winning three from the Treasurers, advanced to third place, dropping the money men deeper Into the cellar.
 The Supplies-Sales match was & real thriller, all four points so close that the results could have been reversed If the Sales had received a few breaks. However, due to some fine pinning by "Bruiser" Green the Supplies had just enough to carry them through.

YESTERDAY MORNING another team was eliminated in the loo pound tourney when the Purple Flashes defeated the Wildcats by the runaway score of S6 to 8. In this game Johnny German was high scorer for the winning team making IS of the 36 points. In second place his brother Jimmy (Chief) German was next with 10 points while for Wildcats Nappy was high man making four points. And in the second game the Rangers won in a runaway by taking the Spades by a score of 32 to 10. This puts the Rangers, Purple Flashes and the Rebels in the Semi finals with the winner of the Rebel and Purple Flash game on Friday to play the Rangers in the prelimin- ary on Saturday night. This game on Friday will not only be contested between the players but between the two managers Flash Sherwill of the Flashes and Doc Savage of the Reb- els. It will show which boy knows his basketball better and which boy has planned the better strategy, Then too, 1t will bring together the two German brothers against Jim Sullivan and think 1t will be clear ly a matter of who has planned and who executes the better strategy.
 IN THE EVENING the Warriors again chalked up another victory over the Torrington Indians by the sizeable margin of 45 to 34 points for the Indians. This victory puts the Warriors into the semi-finals of the Naugatuck Valley Tourney. In the first half of this game the Indians had things pretty much their own way by tossing up 29 points to the Warriors l9. But in the second half, the Warriors made a terrific come back by throwing up 26 points. The star for the Indians in this tilt was Breen, who threw up 13 points for his team with Roach making IS points for the Warriors. In second place for points made were Danelio with 13 for the Warriors and Senese throwing up 8 points for the 1n- dianS. This game was perhaps one of the best played games this season in this class and in this part of the country. It was not only played very fast but great number of plays were we'll executed by both teams. Tn the second and last game of the night, the Brooklyn All-Stars beat the Thomaston Bears by a high score of 53 to 22. For the All-Stars
 Adams was high man making 22 points for the winning team with French second with l2 points. These boys played bang up game against the Bears, but think that they will be easily picked of if they come up against the Warriors. For the Bears Dayton was the best all around player throwing up IA points for his team with Johnson in next place making points. This tourney prom ises to provide much excitement be- fore it is over and your reporter picks the Warriors as champions of the Naugatuck Valley Tourney.

Drill Friday at Wilby Gym; Naugy WalIOps West
 Haven
By JOHN A. CLUNEY

Crosby high schools classy court combination may not win the state basketball championship of the "A' division, now on tap at the New Haven Arena, but, in the light of its 15-joint edge over the central Connecticut champs from Man chester last night, you can wager all the Japs in Java that the Scho- field squad is entitled to the listing dark horse" insofar as its chances of providing further upsets are concerned.
 By its surprisingly easy 46 to 3l victory over Manchester, Crosby goes into the quarter finals Monday night at New Haven against the number two team of the tourna- ment, Windham high of Williman- tic, defending state champions. A repetition of its performance last night, especially ball-handling and defense work by Reynolds, Belanger, Kelly and Fisher is quite good enough to stop Windhan or any team in the tournament. Friday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, Coach Bill Schofield will assemble his lads at Wilby gym for @ workout calculated to keep them on edge for the all- important game next week.
 We'll Done
 Naugatuck high, with Furs, Dunn and Reilly in fine shooting form, outpointed West Haven, 45 to 33, which was expected, at least by this writer, but the borough lads will be facing the strongest team in the tournament Friday night, when it meets Central of Bridgeport, rated 1000 by the tourney committee, and an outfit that nearly set back the undefeated Yale freshmen a few weeks ago, finally losing out by four points in nip and tuck game.
 Central should win from Nauga- tuck, but those borough kids never stop trying, are famous for their late rallies and drive to the final whistle, which means that a good night from the free throw line will keep them right in the ball game.
 Great Defense
 Crosby's defensive play was the impressive part of Crosby's stand- out triumph last night aside from the fact that Manchester had Iloth- ing to cope with the scoring ability of Kelly and Fisher who got 31 points between them, but the back court work of Belanger, Reynolds and Kelly who was up and down the center of the court all evening was little short of sensational. Even Fsher, normally high-scoring for- ward who has to be fled" to get in his best work took hand in breaking up Manchester passes, close-checking and under the basket work that made Crosby look like 8 20 to 1 shot after the first five minutes of play. Crosby led Il to after the eight minutes of the first period, rolled to 2l-l0 edge at halftime, had & 20 point margin before the final heat, 37 to IT and won going away 46 to 13 though Chubby Clarke's lads picked up five of the 20 points margin.
 Manchester scored first, but kept the lead for less than a minute, as Reynolds, guarding well and drib- bling down the middle scored a couple of hoops and a free toss, before Kelly and Fisher got under way to fill the nets with leather from then on. Zamaitis, heavy solid. bpt speedy Manchester for- ward was the most consistent player for the losers, with Il points and a hang-up floor game in his favor. Score:

as the train passed through the
most squalid portions of Phoenix,
Tucson, and other towns, he report
ed to his fellow Senators that we
were all pretty illiterate and were
not prepared for statehood.
AS a matter of fact, the real issue
was one of political eXpediency only.
Fearful that Arizona would add two
Senators to the anti administratio
roll Gall of the administrations
through that period were Republi
cam the Republicans in Congress,
by and large, were against state
hood, while most of the Democrats
were favorable.
A highlight of the statehood
struggle that should not be over
looked was the expedient adopted in
1906. The demand for Arizona's
admission was by this time taking
on something of a national charac-
ter. Something had to be done to
assuage it, and the joint statehood
plan was conceived
New Mexico, with its larger popu-
lation and more easily controlled
vote would overcome Arizona, and
the peril of two anti-administration
Senators would be turned into two
pro- administration Senators. This
might well have come to pass had
not a champion of free Arizona
arisen in the Republican ranks
Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio. He
forced an amendment to the state
hood bill providing that Arizona
and New Mexico should vote sepa-
rately on the question and that if
either territory approved it jointure
would fail. The result is well
known. Arizona voters rejected
jointure by vote Of 6,265 to 3,141.
FIGHT CONTINUES
The fight for statehood continued.

zona into a state. Mark Smith in

ILLITERATE?
The opposition which for so long
defeated the measure was, ostensi-
bly,, predicated on the theory that
the Territory was not fit for state
hood-that it had not sufficient
population, wealth or education.
In 1902 Senator Beveridge of In

to ascertain first-hand whether we
were ready for Statehood. He did
not stop, but baSing his opinion on
