For the Week-ender who wishes
to pack everything in one bag,
yet be ready for everything that
comes along, Florence Gainor has
cleverly coordinated four piece
wardrobe whose tricky combina
tlons give YOU an outfit for anv
weekend occasion, from loung-
Ing III Sun-chair to a formal
summer dining.
The basic pieces, all of black
rayon faillc, include long.
sleeved bolero, an eight-gored
skirt with built-up waistline
supltable for wearing with or
without a jacket, a pair of slacks
and a pair of the new knee
length shorts.
But the real backbone of the
whole wardrobe is found in the
various blouses, which worn with
the major pieces, are equally suit
able for daytime wear with the
bolero and skirt or for porch
lounging with the bolero and
SlackS. One blouse, really a
waistcoat with back-straps, is of
fine-ribbed white pique. Having
practically no back, it would do
very well to wear with the knee
length shorts for sun tanning.
Another is Of catjI1-ct 1,ipod chit
fon with a drapeo front gathered
to a simulated bow. A third is of
lightweight hopsacking weave
rayon in white, with side gath
erS that shape a front decolle-
tagc. All are sleeveless so that
when the bolero is taken off they
combine with the skirt to make a
perfect outfit for formaliSh din
nerS.

"Weather Chef" Test
 Chamber For Experts
Duplicates Any, All Types of Weather for Scientists
 to Promote Efficiency of Super BOmbers

An aircraft generator is tested in the chamber by bolting 1t to the inner wall of the test chamber and driving 1t from the outside by a shaft extending through an air. tight seal in the l4-inch thick wall. One of the newer generators weighs only half again as much as typi- cal automobile generator, but de- flyers 30 times as much power.
 Used Air Discarded
 Air from the test chamber is pumped out and discharged to the atmosphere. It cannot be recir- culated as any vapors or condensa- tion would impair the scientific accuracy of the test. The vacuum in the test chamber draws the stratospheric air through the cool ing and drying system and directly into the generator through the air scoop which brings ia cooling air in actual use.
 Sensitive electric meters measure the amount of power driving the generator, and the power 1t pro- duces. Engineers can watch the test through a window-fout thicknesses of plate glass-in the test chamber door which is sealed shut by wedges.

F.D.R. Criticized
 On Fathers Draft

Washington, Dec. 18-UP)- President ROosevelt's caustic criticism of recent legislation designed to delay the draft of fathers today drew equally caustic retorts from congress siOnal sponsors of the law.
 The president, who signed the bill while on his trip to the war zone, said yesterday that the section pertaining to fathers was just a piOus thought. An other section which ended the war manpOwer commissions jurisdiction over selective serv- ice drew sharp disapproval from MT. Roosevelt.
 ''If half of it is a mistake and the other half is bad legis- latiOn then why did he sign it?" asked Rep. Paul Kilday, D., Tex, original author of defer fathers legislation.
 Rep. John Sparkman, D., Ala, declared, Congress, not the president, is the policy setting agency. sincerely hope that now selective service will be ad- ministered in the manner in which Congress intended
 Informed that the president plans to send a message to Con- gress concerning the measure, Sparkman said he would await it with interest. "I certainly want to find out why he ap- proved the bill if he disap- proved of it, he said.

YALE GRADUATES. MEDICAL CLASS.
A Men, Five Women Re. ceive Degree of Doctor
 of Medicine

New Haven. Conn, Dec. 1s- Trained minds. taught to disting- uish between unpleasant facts and desirable fancies" are the ones to whom the community must look for guidance, and those who have been highly trained for specialized pur- suits must not. in their intense loyalty to their own position forget this wider responsibility as citizens" President Charles Seymour of Yale University said today at the gradu- ation exercises of the Yale School of Medicine held in the Sterling Hall of Medicine at Yale.
 Tt is easy to see that an out- standing characteristic of the years that followed the last war was a sense of irresponsibility-every man or every nation for itself and the devil take the hindmost," President Seymour declared. This spirit was obvious in the field of international relations and today we are paying the price for 1t. We in America would take no responsibility for the maintenance of peace; would make no sacrifice for the welfare of the world that might disturb our in- sulation; we would mind our own business and let the rest destroy themselves. The British and the French having created at our in- spiration a League of Peace refused to accept the responsibility of 1nak- mig 1t operate as it had been de- signed. Ill domestic affairs we as citizens avoided the responsibilities which democratic system demands and, in phrases sometimes whining and sometimes cynical, contended ourselves with futile complaints of our ineffective democracy.
 "At this moment there can be no question of responsibility. The dangers we face in long war. our determination to conquer those dangers and to exterminate any pos sibilty of their revival. bring to each of us sense of obligation to the national service. That sense of obligation will persist until the dangers are wiped out. But II as It happened twenty-five years ago, we then sink back into the comfortable, irresponsible belief that we are once more to be blessed by the return of normalcy, the day of democracy will indeed face its doom."
 Including Five Women
 At the exerc ses, President Sey- mour awarded the M. D. degree to 49 students, two certificates to Brit ish students, a gold medal, and Sev- eral prizes.
 The Campbell Gold Medal, award ed to the graduating student who secures the highest rank in the ex- aminations of the course, was given to Donald w. Seldin, of 757 Man haitian avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. Honorable mention was given to William K. Welch, 387 Jayson ave- nue, Mt. Lebanon, Pittsburgh, Pa.
