NEW YORK.-If a preview of the
new spring collections is any indi-
cation, the New Year in fashion
will be the brightest, trickiest and
spiciest in a week of seasons.
A bag CT new eye-riveting tricks
are used to give the 1945 silhouette
a spicy new appeal and point up in
teresting design. Some attention
getters-they're called the ''unex-
pected emphasis" to revamp
the silhoutte "bat-wing" shoulders,
ingenious draping, new back busi-
ness-bigger and better bustles for
one-and dramatic side sweep.
Even coats, usually too conserva-
tive to flag undue attention, join
the ranks of suits and dresses to
shove appeal to the hilt. Some use
side-swept closings as well as back
interest as does the piquie-trimmed
gray woolen coat, shown right, de-
signed by Philip Manone-typical
of the dress coat in all collections
which marches a parade of buttons
both side front and side back to
catch eyes going and coming.
The trend in coats is toward the
dreSsy Style-toppers, knee-hitting

Darn Garter
Wells to Have
Stronger Hose
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

If you'll darn-stitch stocking welts
before you wear new hose, to REIN
force those areas where garters grip,
there's a longer life ahead for your
hose.
For that one and some more tips
that will stand you in good stead,
thank appealing, leg-lovely Shirley
Peterson CT Marriage Is Private
Affair" who says she pre-darns the
toes and heels of sheer stockings to
keep these areas from rubbing thin
from constant friction.
Then, if you've any mis-mated
stockings around which could be
brought together in a color-team
Shirley has a suggestion for that.
Her trick is to dip the impaired
singletons into a color-wash, made
by dissolving a spoonful of stock
ing-tint powder into a basin CT
warm water, and setting it with a
final cold rinse. Be certain, however,
that all the granules are completely
dissolved or you'll have spotty-look-
ing hose.

McCrory at the meeting Saturday
Of Mrs. Dorothy Armstrong.
Luncheon was served by the
hostess at attractively appointed
tables, followed by a short business
meeting.
Mrs. McCrory's talk was the fea-
ture of the afternoon in which she
described conditions in Asia before
the war and what she thought they
would be afterwards.
She told how the people in each
of the Asiatic countries, such as
Burma, China, Malay, French Indo-
China, India and the Dutch Neither
lands, felt towards the japanese.
She believes one reason it was so
easy for those countries to be con-
quered by the Japs was that they
were dissatisfied with the rule CT
the British, French and Dutch.
Those present were Mesdames M.
r. Brents, Warren Brock, C.. S.

A fellow in New York had COM
planned to the d. A. that the star
made 13 passes-maybe 15-winning
$4,000 from him shooting dice. The
fellow was mad and wanted the D.
A. to investigate. The D. A. refused.
"If I could make 13 passes I
wouldn't be here" Raft grinned

Other day he was riding the ele-
vator at Hollywood Park race track.
1t was crowded. The elevator boy
said:

Raft replied:
Fine, but I can't win anything
here. I haven't got room to throw
the dice"

up the set by suddenly tossing a

He's still burning ever stories that

Family Ruins
Chance for
Happy Marriage
BY RUTH MILLETT

The soldier overseas was granted
a divorce in absentia from his wife.
His mother had testified in his
behalf, telling the court that while
her son was out of the country, his
wife lad collected his allotment
money and had illicit relations
with other men.
That mother probably felt she
was doing her son real service
to help him secure a divorce from
his wife. And whoever told him
that his wife was carrying on" with
other men may have thought that
was doing right, too.
But isn't divorce between couples
separated by war che thing that
should be put off until the wars
end, instead of helped along by the
friends and families of either hus-
band or wife?
LET THEM ALONE
Maybe one partner is being
wlonged. But if a couple are let
alone they must be able to work
out their problems and to do some
forgiving on both sides. At least
they ought to have the chance to
see each other before they decide
the divorce court is the only an
swer to their problems.
Parents can help their children
in many ways during the war years
But they ought to keep their hands
off their children's marriages.
There are going to be enough
wartime divorces without parents
encouraging them, or stepping in to
make sure a married son or daugh-
ter isn't wronged.

MONTREAL, Dec. 17.-Canadian
newsprint production will reach an
all-time high of $685. 900 tons in
1916, the Newsprint Association Of
Canada estimated today, but the
Organization warned American con-
sumers that increased orders would
not be justified.
The estimates for 1916, based on
the anticipated supply for the first
six months of the year, are 693 900
tons, or % per cent, above the aver
age for the last five years before the
war, are 5000 tons, or Is per cent,
above the wartime average, and are
437,000 tons, or 1874 per cent, above
the figures for 1945.
The newsprint association took
pains to emphasize, however, that
total American supply from all
sources would be only slightly above
last year and actually below 1941
and 1912, and that because of an
increase in the number of users in
dividual consumers may be little

The association pointed out that
United States rates of ordering and
consumption throughout 1945 have
been considerably in excess of actual
shipments" that stocks have been
eaten into and now are at an all
time low, and that American pro-
duction is expected to drop to new
low of II per cent of American con-
sumption in 1916.

Canada Sees Newsprint Record,
But No End to Paper Shortage

dividually can expect little relief
from their present tight situation,
the association said. Among new
users listed as getting part of the
available stocks are new newspapers,
more comic books, more Government
consumers and others.
"The increase (of Canadian pro-
duction) in 1916 merely brings ship
ments approximately into line with
the rate of orders placed in the
fourth quarter Of 1945," the news
print association said in a survey.
Consumers Warned.
ITO preserve a sound situation.
consumers should realize that total
'l946 supply, as presently estimated,
does not justify an increase in the
present rate of total ordering"
The present estimate is based on
what can be done with pulpwood,
the raw material, now on hand. In
June production will begin to show

an increase in pulpwood cut this
winter, although it was stated that
no further estimate Of 1s46 perform
ance is feasible until new wood fig
ures become available In the spring.
The association said that even If
the maximum production of Ca
madam mills were achieved in the
second half of 1916" which is
highly doubtful-improvement in
the half year could not exceed
200 900 TONS"
Shipments Of newsprint to the
United States from Canada, which
supplies three-fourths of American
consumption, will reach an all-time
high of 3,000.0 900 tons in 1916, it was
estimated. This compared with a
hve-year prewar average of 1926, 900
tons, a wartime average Of 2,617,0 900
tons, and shipments of 2,770,000 and

less, in 1912 and 1943 because Of
shortage OF shipping space and other
war factors. the association said.
Total United States supply, while
only slightly better than in 1945,
will be actually less than in 1941,
the association reasoned. 1t said
the decline over 1941 would run 8
or 10 per cent after deduction of
10000 tons to allow for low stocks
and new users.
