Shape OF Things Gomez Seen What England Has Given Up
Don't's
OF Beauty

Maybe you don't think they're
born that way. Maybe YOU know
very well that you. with enough
savvy and viii power. could create
an enchantress and a success too
just like the beauties that deco
rate magazine covers and the scin-
tillant advertisements.
The will power Is yours to find.
% DO appear fully and charm
ingly dressed The Bohemian touch
went out with Elinor Glyn. Your
mother must have told you that
no nice little girl goes about the
streets Of the city without hat and
gloves.
90 DO be on time II doesn't
do much for appearance to be late.
, 90 Don't fling your personal
ity all over the lot.

complete. After all. little numbers
like Carole Lombard. Margaret
SULLIVAN. Bette Davis and their
ilk, arrive on the set at the ungod-
~ hour of Gas a. m, fully made
up.
CD DO have your hair and nails
nice for any and every job. This
seems too obvious to mention.
30 do treat the clothes you
wear with loving care. Watch your
lipstick when robing or disrobing.
Take precautionary measures for
personal daintiness.
CD Don't borrow things from
the dressing room. Borrow is a
nice word. Snitch is what we call
il. Nasty word, nasty practice.
90 Don't be busybody. A few
questions about the situation are
in order, but this feverish, grasp
ing Interrogation department is
embarrassing as well as distinctly
annoying.

How The Jury Voted
Women: Take the job:
four; get operation, two.
Men: Ia Ike the job:
five; get operation, one.

Mechanic: Take the defense job
now. He can also serve his coun-
try in the factory. I know how
he feels
Clergyman: Naturally he should
get the operation sometime but
right now l believe his country
could use him to better advantage
in the factory.
Housewife: His family is right.
The government only wants boys
of certain age and who are physic-
ally fit for the armed forces.
Typist: Since he feels that way
he should get the operation. He
probably won't be happy unless he
does.

Hints Of dark business sfoot in France
reached the United States Monday
through the press cables. The story
came from Switzerland that Laval, dis
missed from Vichy government in De-
cember, 1910, had conferred three times
with Petain since the previous Saturday.
Their business was an Axis promoted
renewal OF negotiations for increased
French German collaboration, which,
according to neutral dispatches to
Switzerland from Berlin. were inspired
by Nazi fears of an Allied offensive
against German occupied Western Eu-
rope.
On Tuesday Petain acquiesced in the
German wish. He agreed TO reorganize
his government under La
Rom val's superintendent. This
po,.,, was the day on which the
Riom trials, begun in the
Axis interest, conducted in a manner
dismaying to the Axis, were to have been
resumed after the Easter recess, but
special decree law was issued by the
Vichy government directing their in
definite suspension to permit broadening
OF their scope so that they would include
political as we'll as military mistakes
which led to war and defeat" for the
Third Republic.
On Tuesday also Vichy- American re-
lations began to shake. The previous
day Acting Secretary OF States Welles

gave to Ambassador CASTOR Henry Haye
A note based on most original and
ingenious diplomatic principle, justifying
American recognition of Free French
authority in French Equatorial Africa
The note said that United States policy
was to help Frenchmen maintain or
regain control of theft own territory, and
added that Frenchmen collaborating
with Hitler were attempting to "prosti-
tute their country" The Vichy govern
ment on Tuesday issued statement de-
claring 1t had rejected the injurious
terms" of the note, but an hour later the
government asked correspondents to
withdraw the story from publication.
On Wednesday CASTOR Henry-Haye pre-
sented the French rejection to Mr..
Welles. He rejected the rejection on
the ground it expressed the opinion not
of France But Germany
Arrangements by mid-week, then, were
complete for split between the United
States and France on two grounds

Anti-EngliSh though he is, Admiral Dar-
Ian is not pro-German. Far-reaching
French military collaboration with Ger

may not be likely. The post Of Darlan
testifies that Petain had final victory
even as he fell.
The United States on Friday made
very clear its complete conviction that
these events changed the whole char
acter of the Vichy regime. Mr.. Welles
announced that Ambassador Leahy was
being called home for consultation. The
betting was that he would not go back.
The instructions to Leahy were in line
with the American Governments de-
termination not to give Laval any
grounds for making the French people
believe that his regime is acceptable to
the United States. In ceaSing to deal
with the French government, we would
make it clear that we were working for
the French people.

AMERICANS BRAVE PERILS OF CHUNGKING
War Adds New Burdens Small Bond Chino

CHUNGKING tby wireless A small
band Of loyal Americans, no more than
200 at most, are carrying on their varied
duties in the capital of China. Para
doXically, the conf1agration started by
Japan on December has brought COM
parative tranquility to Chungking and
the Americans here like their Chinese
allies. are able to work in security with
out interruption from enemy raiders.
But if the Pacific war has brought us
breathing spell. it has also given new
dignity and added responsibility to the
work in which We Americans are en-
gagged.
Although comparatively unknown.
there are many Americans in Chung
king who for the past crucial years have
held key positions as regards Chinese
resistance and Chinese American rela-
tionS, First place on this honor roll
may well be given to the Americans as

eIStionS
All the c. N. A. c. pilots whom Ameri-
can newspaper subscribers have heard
about for several years are in and out
of Chungking. The low-flying American
Douglas transports piloted by veteran
American pilots are a daily sight over
the capital OF China despite the fact
that for three and half years the
japanese have never hesitated to fire on
these civilian planes II they got the
chance.
Many Tasks for Missionary.
The resident American director of the
line is w. L. Bond of Richmond. Va Mr..
Bond was on the commercial air field on
the morning OF December when the
japanese succeeded in destroying sew
ersl transport planes. He remained on
the Job, on his feet, for the next 30
hours. and it was in great measure his
devotion 10 duty which saved the planes
with which the c. n A. c. is still able
TO fly its international air route.
Mr.. Bond lives in the home of a vet
srsn American missionary, Chester B.
Rsppe OF Tsyloryille. III. Mr.. Rappe is
finding that an American miSsionary's
Job in Chungking today merely begins
with the conducting of divine services.
He is treasurer of the Methodist Mis-
sion for China and is also treasurer of
the West China Co-ordinating Commit
tee Of the American Advisory Com
mittee. The Co-ordinating Committee
handles much of the American money
raised in the United States for relief
work in China.
Two others who enjoy Mr. Rappe's
renowned hospitality, for he has lived in
his present house for over 30 years and
st least one of his faithful Chinese
servants has been with him that whole
period, are DR.. Arthur NJ, Young OF Los
Angeles and David Rowe Of Princeton,
n J. Or. Young is the senior American
adviser TO the Chinese Ministry Of ri
nance. who is reputed to know more and
