LOOSE FREEDOM
 BRINGS USEFULNESS

Only lately has Hollywood's younger generation discovered the lounging pajama for evenings at home. UEtil now the tailored type did for outdot" and indoors alike. They still .efer to them as slacks, or "p-js," but the trend is toward dressier styles, more luxurious mat erials with velvet and silk or wool jersey leading for winter wear.
 In colors, anything goes, with em- phasis on brilliant, jewel tones. Embroidery is popular trim - either in metal for the very 1X- travagant or bright wools in peas ant designs. Applique in contrast ing tones is often seen.
 Typical of the "p-js' being talk en over by young stars is Jane Frazee's pet new pair. She says she bought them as the best relief she knew after spending most of her waking hours playing foil for those two zanies, Olson and Johnson, in "Hellzapoppin." The slim cut trous- CTS are black velvet while the dol- man-slee7ed, long-torso top is gold silk jersey with V-pattern in striking scroll design of appliqued black velvet down the front.
 Elizabeth Bergner has trick all her own for evening slacks. She has hers made of sheer Wools in Eng lish-drape style. The blouses she wears with them are just as frou- frou feminine as the slacks are masculine. The star of Paris Call ing" her first screen appearance in some time, sometimes even wears frills above her simple slacks. But her favcrite blouses are strictly tail- ored out of the sheerest of chif- ion.
 Claudette Colbert's newest ac- quisition for evening is a flame pajama suit i'll light wool, with bell sleeves on the fitted, hip-length jacket. Norma Shearer has clos ct full of all varieties of lounging pajamas. So, too, have Joan CraW- ford, Bette Davis and Hedy La- marr. They are all prooably amused that the baby stars have only just taken hostess pajamas up.
 The most amazing lounging cos- tune to appear in these parts for some time is worn by Margaret Sullavan in Appointment for Love" !" She liked them so well she bought them for home wear. Chances are they won't set style, though, be- ing somewhat on the bizarre side. The cut stems from a Grecian shepherd boys pants. The full navy blue silk jersey trousers are draped in balloon effect midway be- tween ankle and knee. Gray wool jersey molds the top in a tight, smooth fitting blouse with wide, swathed girdle in coral jersey.

Territory Of Popuo
Escapes War to Date

Territory OF PoPuo
Escapes War to Date
ONE of the few outposts of the
~ British empire untouched so
far by the greedy hand of war is
the Territory of Papua, or British
New Guinea.
Most common among the ships
in Papua's three ports is the ma
tive vessel shown on the stamp
above, issued by the territorial
authorities about 1908. -
Papua is part of the island of
New Guinea, just off the northern
coast of Australia. A protectorate
was established over the territory
in 1894 after the Government of
Queensland annexed the land in
1898.
In 1906 it was named the Terri
tory of Papua under the jurisdic-
tim of the governor-general of
australia, with lieutenant-gov-
ernor of its own.
Approximately 100000 natives
and 1900 Europeans inhabit the
land, which is cultivated chiefly
for cocoanuts, rubber and sisal.
Recently copper mines have been
worked there with exports reach
ing nearly 100000 annually.

Application for a writ of man
damus, ordering the city of Water
bury's retirement commission to
make a decision regarding the eligi-
bility of John Rossi of Waterbury
for a retirement pension, was filed
in superior court today by the latter.
Rossi, who has been employed
chiefly as a street-sWeeper in the
municipal street department, as
serts that he became eligible for re-
tirement on February %, 1899, hay
ing reached the age of 60, and haV-
ing served as city employe for Is
years.
Last October II, he alleges, he APP
piled for a retirement allowance,
but the commission deferred action
on the application, turning it over
to Corporation Counsel j. Gregory
Lynch for a ruling on the eligibility
OF the claimant.
According to the petition, the
state General Assembly approved a
retirement bill at sessions in 1881
and 1887, while Rossi was still III
the employ of the city, whose pro-
visions qualified him for pension.
An amendment changing the length
of service was approved on June %,
1899, but at the time the applicant
had already served 25 years con-
tinuously, and had attained the age
of 60.
A special legislative act OF June
16, 194l, repealed all previous
amendments, it is alleged, but made
no reference to the original act.
