T HE day may come, before
the Nazis and the laps get
u everything they asked for,
when Americas maids and ma
irons will tear off ration coupons
for hats, as they now do to get
their share Of coffee, sugar, gaso-
line and shoes.
Perhaps Russell Patterson. the
widely-known American artist
who has illustrated many a cover
for The American Weekly-had
such a day in mind when he
turned his talents to designing
top-pieces that enhance feminine
beauty and steal no material that
might help win the war.
Mr.. Patterson was wise enough
to use no felt, silk or metal in
his original and attractive ideas
for millinery. He concentrated
on flowers. Not blossoms of
paper and cloth, but fresh blooms
that smell good
The artist, as might be ex-
pected, does not hire a pretty
model and sit her down beside a
bunch of posies -- and then start
creating. He draws sketches
first and then designs the fra

Mr.. Patterson has cleverly
utilized Mother Natures beauti-
full lines and contours which he
sees in the different blooms. Be
yond that, he has taken advan-
tage Of the flowers natural col

becoming to different types of
beauty 1872 blondes, brunettes and
redheads. There's a flower for
every face and color. or colors,
TO emphasize the most attractive
features of everyone.
For instance, Mr.. Patterson
uses a combination of carnations
and violets, worn close TO the
ears in the Madame Butterfly
manner, for the type that can
look well in a hat of Oriental
suggestion.
The artist has also found an
ingenious use for spring flowers
which lend an attractive touch TO
another type Of face. One, de-
signed by Mr. Patterson and exc
cuted by Miss Frida Mueller. a
New York florist, uses fresh
pompons to get an effect that is
inspired by the wimple. From

tication Of the American woman.
In recent years, designers of cos
tune jewelry envisioned the pos
sibilities of flowers in the making
of bracelets, necklaces and even
rings.
The inspiration for that nov
city, of course, came from his
tory and from primitive tribes.
The bellies of Egypt, in the time
of the Pharaohs, knew the roman
tic value of sweet-scented posies.
So did the maids and matrons
of ancient Greece and Rome.
Their modern sisters, however.
aren't satisfied with just tucking
a rose over a shell-pink ear or
carrying a bunch of roses over
ones arm. They designed chains
to fit the neck, the wrist or the
finger, to which were attached
tiny clamps capable of holding
fresh flowers of the desired
color, shape and fragrance.
And other designers. realizing
the possibilities of Natures own
ornaments, fashioned beautiful
clips to fasten small bouquets to
the shoes of the girls pinks
with a spray of ferns, for in
stance. Or white gardenias for
a brides slippers.

pons which falls from the side
of the head around the chin of
the wearer and virtually framing

In another creation shown
here, the artist uses spiky

a model whose face lends itself
to this treatment.
These, Of course, are only a
few Of the possible combinations
that may be used as the seasons
change and new blooms appear.
And why shouldn't an attractive
girl change her floral top-pieces
TO suit the seasons?
Mr., Patterson's designs are in
tended principally for formal
wear, but some Of the simpler
forms have been adapted for
street costumes and their popu-
larity is said to be spreading.

RACE FOR DNIEPER:
Nazis Still Mennced

Only two natural defense lines in
the fiat farm areas Of southern Rus
sia were left open to the Nazi armies
after the victorious Russian forces
had swept rapidly westward follow
ing the fall of Rostov and Kharkov.
These were the Dnieper river in the
central Ukraine, and behind 1t the
Dniester river on the Rumanian bor-
der.
Even if Hitler's armies won the
race to the Dnieper river and sue
ceeded in establishing a new winter
line behind it's mile-wide expanse,
the Nazi problems were by no means
solved. The Nazi southern flank in
the Crimca would be exposed and
difficult to hold. The northern flank
west of Leningrad would likewise
be in jeopardy.
In an effort to convert the German
retreat westward into a disorderly
rout, the Red army had pounded
ahead in knockout offensive aimed
at Orel, Nazi anchor point below
Moscow. Strategic junction of four
railroads, Orel provided direct COM
munications between north Russia
and the central Ukraine on the trunk
rail line between Moscow and Orel.
AS the Reds continued to push the
Nazis out of the eastern and north
ern regions of the Donets river, Nazi
resistance had stiffened inside the
river basin itself.

JAP WAR THEATER:
Nine. Chang Urges Speed

Even as Madame Chang Kai-shek
in Washington was calling for more
decisive Allied blows against Japan,
communiques from China revealed
that the Japs had undertaken what
was apparently a major effort to
knock China out of the war.
The Jap offensive took the form Of
attacks in seven Chinese areas from
above Shanghai to Yunan in the
Southwest. The core of the drive
had been directed along the old Bur-
ma road in Southwest Yunan.
Seeking to stir America to great
er understanding of Japan's menace
to the Allies, Madame Chang said
it was contrary to the United Ma
tons interests to allow Japan "to
continue not only as a potential enc
my, but as waiting sword of DAM
ocles, ready to descend at a mo-
ment's notice."
Reports from Allied Pacific head
quarters continued to reflect steady,
if undramatic progress. In New
Guinea, American and Australian
jungle troops were pushing hard on
the heels of Japs retreating from
the Wau area toward Mubo on the
outskirts of Salamau. In the air
Liberator and Flying Fortress
bombers continued attacks on Jap
positions in Dutch New Guinea and
New Britain.

BLACK MARKETS:
Gangsters Reap Riches

How to combat the black markets
in meat products which were sky
rocketing retail prices, menacing
the supply for military and lend
lease purposes and endangering the
future existence of small packers
was a problem that had congress
as well as agricultural officials wor-
ried.
AS reports persisted that gang
sters had turned their unscrupulous
talents into this highly profitable il
legal trade, two suggestions were
made by the OPA to the house
small business committee, for solv-
ing the problem. One was for the
government to purchase live ami
mails. The other was for a registra-
tion of every person who sells or
handles meat.

TUNISIAN TIMETABLE:
DELAYED by RonmeL

General Eisenhower had had his
choice of fighting decisive engage
ments on ground offered him by
Marshal Rommel or on terrain OF
his own choosing. That he had pre-
ferred the latter was indicated by
the fact that he was not drawn into
a major battle when the NaZis
pushed American troops out of the
Tunisian area between Sidi Bou lid
and Gafsa into the foothills border
ing Tebessa, Algeria.
While the Tunisian reverse was
not a catastrophe, it was neverthe-
less a Furnishing setback that meant
considerable further delay in liqui-
dating the Axis in Africa and NOV
ing on to the vastly bigger job of
getting at Europe. The situation
was frightened somewhat by reports
that the veteran British Eighth
army had rolled up from the south
and had engaged RommePs atten-
ton.
The loss of three advance air.
fields and three forward positions
by the American forces was costly.
Superior weight and mechanical
equipment, plus gruelling battle ex-
perience was the explanation for the
Nazi success. The new German 60
ton Mark tanks had proved too
strong for the 28-ton American tanks.
The Nazis, moreover, had caught
the Americans with their lines too
thinly held.
In Washington Secretary of War
Stimson said that American forces,
outnumbered and outarmed have
suffered "sharp reverses and SUBJ
Stantial casualties"

DRAFT:
'UndesirabLes' Nest?

AS it became clear that congress
sional sentiment was preponderantly
in favor of deferring fathers and
others with dependents until the sup
ply of single men was completely ex-
hausted, somber predictions on the
future quality Of draftees were made
by army spokesman.
Brig. Gen. Miller G. White warned
that deferment for fathers of draft
age would make it necessary for
the army to induct illiterates, men
with venereal diseases and "unde-
sirables" now accepted only in linn
tied numbers.
The rapidity with which the ma
tion's armed forces are being built
up was indicated by a statement by
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, head
of the selective service system, that
total of $4,000 men per day are
being taken into the army and navy
at present induction rates.

CANBERRA: The Australian COM
monwealth issued a proclamation
according the United States most
favored nation treatment on tariffs.
This action was taken without for
NAL request from the United States.
R. V. Keane, minister of trade and
customs, said: ''It is wrong that our
principal ally, who has given us
great material assistance, should re-
main on the punitive general tariff. I"
LONDON: Britain will need at
least 100000 helpers for harvesting
this years crop and if they are not
available on voluntary basis, they
will have to be conscripted, Minister
of Agriculture r. S. Hudson de.
clared. Last year, he said, Britain
had $50 harvest camps and this year
it is hoped there will be more than
1000. ''We want at least 3OO,OO
school children, 5000 older students
and between 100000 and 200, 900
adults" he added. The alternative t.
a satisfactory harvest, he said
would be prolongation of the war and
an acute food shortage.

PEACE OFFENSIVE:
A1is Tries Wedge

Long expected by Allied chancel-
lories, the Axis peace offensive final
ly got under way. First feelers
were extended by Virginio Gayda,
Fascist editor. The next move came
from Nazi Propaganda Minister JOS
eph Goebbels.
The theme of both Axis spokes-
men was that the unprecedented
Russian victories were as much a
danger to Britain and America as to
the Axis. Therefore why not a sep
arate peace, so that Europe could
be saved from the Bolshevik men
ace?
Quick to expose the spurious tech
nique by which the enemy hopes to
talk its way out of the consequences
of impending defeat, was Elmer Da-
Wis, chief of the Office of War Infor-
nation. "This pulls the whole mat
ter into the open," he declared. "The
Axis is trying to drive wedge be-
tween Britain, the United States and
their Allies"

IMITATION:
Taxation the Remedy

Hard-headed Mariner S. Eccles,
chairman of the Federal Reserve
board Of governors, bluntly warned
congress that the nation faced dis
astrous initiation because the gov
ernment is financing too much of its
war deficit by bank borrowing and
not enough by taxation and public
borrowing.
Asserting that the government was
doing a Every bad" job of war
financing by comparison with other
countries, Mr.. Eccles said the prob
lem of initiation was entirely in the
hands of congress"
''No government in a war period
has been able to avoid some infia-
tion," he said, adding that Imitation
can only come by congress ap-
propriating money and failing to pro-
vide method Of collecting money"
Purchasing power this year, he
estimated, would be 40 billion
dollars in excess OF goods and serv-
ices available. II the public saved
in the same proportion - In ls<z,
however, he said the gap would be
shaved down to about I6 billion.

Heartening news that AZ French
warships, in addition to the four
now undergoing repairs in American
shipyards, would soon be fighting on
the side of the United Nations was
brought out by Vice Admiral Ray

naval mission to the United States.
Admiral Fenard said that two

aircraft carrier, seven destroyers, IA

CANNED MEAT:
Temporary Freeze

Making supplies of canned meats
and canned fish last through the
year was problem causing many
a headache in the Office of Food
Administration. Stocks on dealers
shelves had dwindled ominously; /;
housewives were on a buying spree.
Result: the OPA suspended sales of
canned salmon, tuna, shrimp, meat
spreads and kindred products until
at least March 28-the date on which
meat rationing was expected to be-
gin.
Meanwhile, housewives and corner
grocerymen had begun to familiar
ize themselves with the point-ration-
ing system governing the sale of
canned fruits and vegetables, dried
fruits, canned soups and canned
baby foods. e

spider-web paintings-paintings

by a famed Innsbruck family of
Tyrol (now Italy,, the secret of
this type of painting was lost when
last members of this family died.
Unlike the flimsy cobweb of the
