tons for pleasure. The law does
not dictate how the gas shall be
used.
Inevitably, public transit sys-
tens in the East have become
but thus far are &C.
commodating the crowds. although
inconveniently in some cases. Only
hardship reported
in New York results from in
creased movement of troops in
that area by rail.
In short, the East has regarded
gas rationing like a pill-it's hard
TO take but is n cure for the coun-
trys transportation ills.

In many towns the order has
been given that Poles must bare
their heads before German officers

AS the prisons are not large
enough TO accommodate all the

That prevalent Detroit report

Through an extensive survey OF

is a growing belief in
official circles in Washington to-
day that Germany will be unable
to crush Russia.
The conviction that the Soviets
can hold out has been greatly
strengthened by the report brought
back from Moscow by Admiral
William II. Standby, American
ambassador TO Moscow.
Admiral Standby arrived in
Washington yesterday. He con-
ferred for nearly an hour and a
half with Secretary of State Hull,
and is expected to see President
Roosevelt today.

UNDERSTAND DIFFICULTIES

While it is still considered un-
certain whether the Soviets can
hold Stalingrad, II is felt that the
Russian armies will remain intact
this winter and that Hitler will
continue to face a major war on
two fronts next spring.
Although disappointed over the
fact that a second front has not
been opened in Western Europe,
the Russian people generally
show a willingness to understand
American and British difficulties
in this connection.

front and back were joined to-
gether with fancy pins just
about under the ears. Ii was a
quaint, coverall fashion. All hats

If by chance you are doing
any plating of tresses. let us
hope that you haven't had your
hair thinned.
You'll find, as the thermome-

your neck, gives you a lovely
cool feeling. That's the one bad
element in the bob; 1t swelters
you.
A cute trick is to have front

them one over the other, FORM

It's not easy TO tuck in and
conceal the ends. But keeping
curls in form isn't easy either.
Two braids with flat curly
ends offer opportunities for
original designs. You can cross
them, pin the curly ends abaft
your ears.
If the hair length permits,
you can have a center parting,

the back hair flow softly, using
the braids as a band across the

New Styles
Featured on
Fifth Avenue
BY DONNA GRACE

OUR FREQUENT visits to
Fifth avenue are always inter-
esting and we do see new styles
and novelties of all kinds but
we know our own fashion editor
gives you the very last word in
what they are wearing.
We like 10 jot down a few OF
our observations, however, SO
the following will be of some
of the things we saw last week.
You have been hearing OF the
trend for suits but now ii has
reached the stage where a suit
must be the main part Of your
wardrobe. A good suit can be
worn for any occasion except
formal evening attire. We see
many smart suits even at night
clubs where a few managers
still frown on all who do not
dress, but the worst they can do
is put you off in corner table.
Millinery
New frilly blouses and those
in exotic prints make any suit
a dresSey outfit and tailored
blouses for daytime are correct
for luncheon or business. The
favored colors are gray. navy,
black and pastels for those who
can have several.
Walter Florell, whose hats are
sold in most large cities has his
own ideas about style shows.
He selects the prettiest models
he can find and these girls are
all dressed alike. This is so the
audience will concentrate on
hats alone.
The background, too, is i'm
portant. His last show was in
the Cotillion Room of the Pierre
Hotel in New York. This is a
blue room with white trim and
drapes of wide-stripe red and
white silk. They are draped back
with large ropes and tassels OF
blue. The red, white and blue is
the same as the former flag of
France.
