Exciting Trends
In School Clothes
Doll Waistlines, Deeper Arm
holes Among Changes.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

=
| Perhaps the newsiest news on the
boards for teen girls, who will soon
be assembling their fall 1915 back
to-school wardrobes is that of the
side-drape skirt which ties in a bow
at one hip. There are also skirts
in many styles including drawstring
types, kilties and the double box
| pleat back and front versions that
hold high fashion rank. However, for
that new look there's no type skirt
that out-smarts the slim side-tie
| skirt.
AS ever the sweater-and-skirt
fashions will major in the schoolgirl
fashion parade. Speaking of sweat
ers, the new jacquards head the
procession. Their new patternings
and colors are eye-thrilling. Don't
fail to jot down jacquard sweater"
on your shopping list.
Your school wardrobe would not
be complete without one or several
jumper frocks. You can get them in
smart pastel wool gabardine, and
for downright practically as well as
good looks, the new jumpers made
too cleverly for words of sturdy
denim will prove one of your most
priced possessions. The main thing
to look for in the new jumper is
shoulder interest, for designers are
doing some very designful things in
this direction.
Suits favor Johnny jackets,
blazers, cardigans and short coats
with pile Innings. AS to coats, top
per is a real essential in any girls
back to school wardrobe. Fleece
topper's the thing this season. The
very newest types are belted in
after the Russian manner.
The new raincoats are simply
thrilling. They are so intriguingly
fashioned and so enchantingly col
orful, you'll be wanting to wear your
raincoat, rain or no rain. They really
are gay little flatterers with their
| drawstring waistlines across the
back that tie with pert little bow
and their full sleeves gathered in so
prettily at the wrist with fluttery
| little animated bow for finish. They
come in navy and black but most of
the girls favor the light pastels.
The important news about date
and school dresses is that they stress
new deeper armholes, doll waistlines
and raglan shoulders. The smartest
are made up simply with no fussi-
ness yet with a detailing that gives
them a definite fall 1945 look. And
now for the best news of all it's
that frocks of pastel cottons in
plaids, stripes and plain register as
top fashion for teen girls school
wear these tubbable, lovable dress
es are no longer discarded as
not suitable for fall back-to-school
wear. Rayon and wool jersey, vel
veteen, wool-clan plaids also spun
rayon weaves continue as smart
fabric choices.

Having led American ground
forces back over the vast tracts
of the Pacific to the doorstep of
Japan following the Gripping
blow at Pearl Harbor, General
Macarthur was designated to
accept the Nipponese surrender
along with representatives of
the other Allied nations.
Coming four days after To-
kyo's first offer to give up the
fight provided the emperor's
sovereignty were respected, and
three months after We day,
Japan's surrender was greeted
with wild enthusiasm through
out the U. S., which joyously
celebrated the end of the most
destructive and costly war in
history without waiting for
President Harry S. Humans
official VI day proclamation.
In accepting the Allied terms,
Japan agreed to the total reduction
OF its once proud empire, with hope
for the future based upon the Or
ganization of a free democracy
within the home islands of Honshu,
Kyushu, Hokkaido and Shikoku.
Under the Potsdam ultimatum,
Japan must eliminate the influence
of those elements which have en-
couraged conquest; give up Man.
churia, Korea and other overseas
acquisitions; disarm all armed
forces; permit the revival of de-
mocracy and freedom of speech,
religion and thought; and submit to
Allied occupation of designated
points in the homeland until post
war security has been established.
At the same time, Japan was
promised an opportunity for orderly
development once a peaceful gov
eminent had been created, with re-
tention of such industries as would
maintain its internal economy and
eventual access to raw materials
and world trade.
The war ended just as the atomic
bomb threatened the obliteration of
Japan's sprawling industrial settle
ments, with Hiroshima and Maya
saki already badly mangled by the
terrific blasts.
Packing an explosive force 10000
times greater than TINT, the atomic

EMPEROR:
His BACKGROUND

Their authority re-established with
the overthrow of the military gov
errors in 1868, the Japanese emper-
ors, supposedly descended from the
sun goddess, have exercised their
mythical power for the unifcation
of the country to facilitate its i'm
perial development.
With the overthrow of the shotgun
ate shortly after Admiral Perry
opened the door of Japan to the
outside world, the simple island peo-
pie, previously owing strict ale
glance to the military clan, easily
transferred their blind obedience to
the mikado.
The present mikado, Hirohito, is
puny, nearsighted man of A. He
is called the l24th emperor of ia
pan by the Japanese court authori-
ties. When he assembled the throne
in 1926, he chose the word "Showa,"
meaning enlightenment and
peace" to describe his reign.
Many political experts believe
that personally Hirohito wanted
peace, but as the puppet of the mill
tary clique had to 60 along with
their designs. Actually he Yields
little real power. His actual "reign"
began in 1921, then as prince re-
gent he ruled in his fathers stead.
He was married in 1924 and is the
father of one son and three daugh-
tiers.

with army and marine troops slash
ing forward in island to island
fighting, the war in the Pacific
rates as one of the bloodiest in
history.
From the very beginning the U. S.
encountered bitter and fanatical
foe, ardent and well disciplined,
willing to fight to the last cartridge
even when completely enveloped.
All through the war, the toll of Jap
killed far surpassed the number
captured, indicating the nature of
their defense.
Because of the close teamwork re-
quired in the overall operations, it
would be difficult to single out one
outstanding hero, though General
MacArthur's fiery stand against the
enemy in the early stages of the con-
fiict and his later redemption of
lost territories made him the SYM
Dol of the American spirit.
Beside the name of Macarthur
must be added those of Admiral
Nimitz, who directed U. S. naval
operations in the vast Pacific thea
ter, and General LIE May, whose
BIOS seriously reduced Japan's in

When Authors Erred

Dickens put the new moon in the
east in the evening; he made Tony
Weller's second wife Sans mother-in-
law; he also described how, in the
depth Of winter, Mr.. Squeers set his
unfortunate boys hoeing turnips. Co.
nan Doyle in Sherlock Holmes story
made a scheming lawyer draw up a
will in favor of himself-a proceeding
which would make the document in
valid. Defoe made Robinson Crusoe
fill his pockets with biscuits while in
state of nudity; Rider Haggard in
King Solomon's Mines described an
eclipse of the new moon?

RECONVERSION:
Neat Job

With World War II finished, and
with the nations great armament
production due to be slashed, inter-
est mounted in the governments
program for switching industry
back to a peacetime basis and pro-
viding continued high employment.
Shortly before the cessation of
hostilities, President Truman called
in War Production Board Chieftain
Krug to 60 over plans for speeding
up reconversion to prevent a large
scale rupture of the country's econo-
my after VI day.
At the meeting, it was deter
mined that the WPB was to con-
duct a vigorous drive for the expan-
sion of production of materials in
short supply to meet all demands;
limit manufacture of articles re-
quiring scarce materials; establish
effective control over material stock
piles to prevent speculative hoard
ing that would endanger the stabil-
ization program; provide priority
assistance to break bottlenecks that
might impede the switch back to
civilian goods, and allocate scarce
materials for lower priced articles
to keep costs down.

America First Found

The first white contact with North
America was made by the Scandina-
VANS. In 9S3, Eric the Red, Morse
adventurer, discovered Greenland. In
the year 1000, his son, Left Ericsson,
started for the new continent with a
band Of missionaries to convert the
natives. He seems to have landed
somewhere between Nova Scotia and
Massachusetts,, but no permanent colo
MES were established. For five CEN
turtles thereafter apparently no con-
tact was made between Europe and
America.

bombs destructive capacity so far
exceeded that of ordinary missiles
that it brought a quick reaction
from a government that had planned
continuation of the conflict from
underground bastions despite in
creasing BIO attacks.
Besides threatening to lay Japan
waste, the atomic bomb also was
credited with blowing Russia into
the conflict, thus bringing the total
Allied weight to bear against the
Nipponese. In all, these two events
served to climax the growing tenn
po Of the Allied drive in the Pacific,
which saw U. S. forces virtually sit
ting on Japan's doorstep at the ces-
sation Of hostilities.

Japan's Imperial Ambitions Led to War

Before the Twentieth century ia
pans imperial ambitions were re-
stricted to Korea, the coast of China
and some neighboring islands in the
Japanese sea. Japanese leaders
suddenly realized the power Of west
ern armament. During the next half
century Japan was modernized so
successfully that the Japanese vic
tories over China in 1894, and Russia
in 1905 were swift and conclusive.

Cannibalism Why's!

Cannibalism is sometimes practiced
as respectful way to dispose Of the
aged and sick. A cultivated taste for
human flesh, performance of the re-
quirements Of mystic rituals, and sat
isfaction of hunger in time of famine
are among the many other types Of
cannibalism observed among primitive
peoples.

Irish Dress Linens

Now that Irish dress linens will be
reappearing in stores again, it's good
to know that they are being made
even more crease-resistant than be-
fore. Scientists have developed new
processes for treating the fabric that
reduces wrinkling toward the vanish
ing point. At the same time, these new
finishes actually improve the beauty
Of the texture and the suppleness Of
the weave.
