Spring Mode Features
Changing Silhouette
Full Skirts, Deep Armhole
Sleeves Give New Lines.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Now that spring home-sewing ac-
Invites will soon begin, prepared
ness is the word for those who plan
to make their own clothes. 1t is
wise to become informed in advance
as to that which is to be new in
SilhouetteS, new colorS and style
right materials that have the new
look. You'll find that you will work
with much more confidence if you
give careful forethought to your pro-
gram.
Silhouette interest is keen this
year, for there are interesting and
important changes on the way. The
new trend is toward skirts that are
fuller and about an inch longer,
swinging out into animated hem
lines. Lots of pleating will be used,
not only as trimming but pleats in
the skirt at each side or gathered
fullness is very new style gesture.
The all-around pleated skirt is Gin
again.
There is a big change in sleeves
In fact, sleeves are really in the
newer fashions, and they make an
interesting study, for they are so
versatile and different" Most of
them are gathered into the armhole,
and they range from short puffs to
bracelet and wrist lengths.
The silhouette for coats and suits
call for rounded shoulders, deep-cut
armholes, wing effects and varied
interpretations, all of which calls
for soft styling. There are many
belted in and tied effects. A trend
to fitted lines is also seen. The con-
tinued success of toppers is as
sured. Boleros and brief jackets will
be featured.
Bright colored wool jersey is high
on the fabric list. Home dress
makers will find that jersey is very
easy to work with. Pretty and SIM
pie little suits and daytime casuals
are made of aralac flannel. Woods
in lovely colors and soft neutral
shades are still top fashion for
spring. Striped surahs and taffetas
will be just what you want for the
tunic blouse you plan on making.
Pure silk prints are with us again,
and there's big news in nylon
weaves. The first dress you will
probably feel an urge to make will
be a gay print. Look up the new
prints that show lots of imagination
in their patternings. Keep in mind
when you are looking up your pat
tern that the two-piece suit-dress is
of high fashion rank.
Color puts navy first. However,
browns are in close competition,
especially the new ginger and
copper shades. Bright colors stress
vivid coral, royal blue, cornhower
blue, tangerine, much red, the cop
per tones and new tone of yellow.
Competing with these are the ex-
quisitely refined neutrals and the
much-beloved off whites, especially
the white wine tones.

Milestone in
Mans Progress

1t may be that what is accom-
plished will be washed out by SUBJ
sequent stupidities; but I believe,
whether we 60 forward immediate
ly from this point or not, it will
remain a milestone in mans effort
to accomplish the outlawry of war,
that it will be landmark from
which others may set their course
anew. Grotius, father of information
al law, held to the principle that
aggressive wars were illegal. AS
Justice jackson pointed out, it was
because of the greed for land which
characterized the 18th and 10Th Gen.
turtles that this concept was thrust
aside and the world came to accept
the tenet that war in itself was not
Illegal. And it seems to me that all
attempts to stop war must be futile
30 long as such concept exists in
international thinking. No one who
saw the spontaneous reaction to
Justice Jackson's opening address to
the court could feel that the ire
mendous effort which has gone into
the creation and operation of this
court can be completely lost.
For those who have witnessed
these proceedings there is a strik-
ing symbolism in the rise and fall
Of a nation which built a vicious
culture in less than a decade with
one final objective aggressive war;,
which very theology destroyed it as
no nation has been wrecked before.
Here we see before US in the flesh
Tin some cases considerably less
flesh than they were adorned with in
their hey-day), the men who con-
ceived and carried out this plan,
which is the distillation of the phi
losophy that might is right, and
which negates the whole basis of the
moral law which has been estab-
ished by civilization.

Accused Make
Brave ShoW

However, for us in the courtroom,
more impressive than the things that
were done were the men in the pris-
oners' dock who actually did them.
Goering was no longer a name, he
was person, now leaning back and
grinning, now with his arms on the
edge of the rail of the dock, his
chin resting on them. There was
Rosenberg, whose task was to
twist the minds of the people with
his absurd story of super-race, Of
anti-semitism. There he sat, looking
down, his fingers nervously toying
with the telephone cords.
There was Keitel, stiff, cold, proud,
arrogant, all Prussian in his uni
form, stripped though it was of
every badge, ribbon and insignia. He
maintains himself with dignity, but
not for moment does he forget his
pose. At this writing the PSYCHE
atric analysis of the prisoners has
not been completed and Keitel has
not been reported upon, but I dare
say his I. @. will be high, though
perhaps not equal to that of Goer-
ing, who, surprisingly enough, stands
right at the top. Goering is tacitly
acknowledged as leader by the 9TH
ers. To the observers he appeared
still the silly poseur, although he
seemed more reasonable appearing
than the fat and grinning mannikin
saw as he presided over the Reich
stag in his comic opera uniform.
Admiral Doenitz, who looks like a
pale shadow, is also at the top of
the I. @. list. He remains almost
motionless, only occasionally con-
sulting his attorney, who appears in
German naval uniform as he is on
duty with a part of the fleet used
in mine sweeping and was released
especially for the trial.
Down at the bottom of the list so
far as intelligence goes is julius
Streicher. Although of far lesser
stature than the rest, this miserable
character is a symbol of the fall
of Nazidom because he is meeting
his fate in the city in which he rose
to power-a fate at which he him.
self limited.
Streicher conducted the last class
in Nazi indoctrination for lawyers
held in this very courtroom where
he had been tried by the pre-Nazi
authorities for various misdemean-
ors and perhaps other crimes. As
he concluded his last lecture, he
pointed to the prisoners dock and
said: 1--WE used to sit over there.
Now we are standing up here. But
there may be a day when we are
sitting down there again."
He is sitting down there today. In
a brand new dock, to be sure, but
with the same great iron eagle over
the high marble frame of the door
way looking down on his cringing
head.

Fads and Fancies

Airy-fairy evening gowns of float
ing chiffon are again in the pic
ture.
Velvet is big news in the realm
of lounging robes and hostess
gowns. Some of the handsomest
types are styled of black velvet that
drapes to side fastening, finished
off with scallops about the edges.
Loose Mandarin print jackets worn
with black velvet Stacks interpret
a striking new at home fashion.

This eye-thrilling dickey really
isn't dickey. It is perfectly gor-

lated to play the role of dickey.
Woven satin dots contribute to the
designful patterning of this lovely
Echo scarf which comes in a range
of very beautiful jewel color COM

several richly colorful and designful
scarfs on hand as they can be con-
verted into endless glamour accents

Try Nazis in Ruins
OF Their Handiwork
Scene of Historic Trial 81 Per Cent Destroyed
BY Bombings; Case Sets Precedent
For 0utIaWing War.
BY BAUKHAGE
NesUs analyst and Commentator.

the growth of the Nazi plan is being
set forth factually, coldly and logical
ly. A new chapter is being, written
in every session of the court.
We watched Nazidom unfold be-
fore US step by step - first, In the
removal of the physical ability of
the German people to resist; then in
the gradual substitution of Nazi con-
cepts for the normal human concepts
produced by the Christian philoso-
ply.
One OF the American attorneys
quoted a comment Of DR.. Schacht
on the effect of the destruction Of
the freedom of the press. Schacht
was quoted as having said, at time
before he knuckled under to Hitler,
that thousands of Germans had been
killed or imprisoned and not one
word was allowed to be printed
about it. OF what use is martyrdom,
he asked, when it Is SO concealed
that it has no value as an example
to others? Therein lies one Of the
answers to the moral failure Of Ger
man resistance.
BY the time the Nazis were ready
to fill their concentration camps with
their foreign victims, they had
learned well the art Of handling the
resistance Of their own people and
smothering it behind a wall of utter
silence. AS the court pointed out, the
first purpose Of the concentration
camps, the persecution, suppression
and propaganda, was "the conquest
of the German masses"
Each successive step was traced
by the prosecution with the same
meticulous detail, detail that kept
even the prisoners with their ears
glued to the headphones and their
eyes following the speaker or the ex-
hibits.

have just left the courtroom where,
as I write, the trial of Germany's
war criminals is still In progress.
The courtroom Is just above me in
this great stone courthouse which
was almost untouched by the bomb
ing which reduced this most beauti-
ful and famous city to the point
that 1t was declared "91 per cent
dead" by the experts who followed
the occupation by American troops
on April 20, 1945.
I am writing in the press room
with reporters from more than a
dozen nations about me. Most of us
are in uniform, the majority being
the uniform of the United States
army, which all war correspondents
In our theater wore. Up until re-
Gently correspondents had a simu-
lated rank of captain. Now we are
simply uniformed civilians operat-
ing under military orders.
As I look back over the beginnings
Of this trial - the earliest discus
sions before the tribunal itself was
formed - have the feeling that we
are now looking at something very
real - actual and factual, rather
than theoretical and vague. At the
first gathering, the appalling condi-
ton of this city produced the feeling
that all about 1t and in it must be
chaos too. Nuremberg dates back to
the 18th century and it grew into
such favor and beauty that it bore
the name of Germany's treasure
chest" 1t was chest of treasures
of art, song and culture as well as
Of the gold that poured into the COT
fers of the merchants. Now it is
shell, and one of Europe's best ex-
amples of the atmosphere and
charm of the middle ages is gone.
How the nearly 10000 people who
are said to be living in these ruins
exist it is hard to say. The streets
are cleared, some street cars are
running, some shops are opening,
city government is operating. But
few houses are livable. In some
cases parts of great office buildings
have been restored. Such cellars as
can be cleared of rubble and rooted
are crowded. A huge air raid shell
ter 280 steps below the ground con-
tains small village in itself.
