you'll get the idea. You may have a wasp waist after all. Of course, the excess poundage is squeezed cut above and below, but that's all in line with the new silhouette, which requires at hip and bust, and a minimum span between.
 The cofselet belt is designed to he worn mostly for dress-up clothes, and not as an all-day gar ment. The latter need is filled in other ways by the corset manufac- turers. New. longer girdles, with a more sharply defined waistline do the trick for suits and daytime irocks with nipped-in waistlines.
 Another smart idea is the long line bra with boned midriff, which acts as a corselet belt with bra at tached. This type is worn with a girdle, except when worn with an evening or cocktail gown with a full skirt, when no further corset ing is required.
 For the slim-line dresses that are still being shown, an all-in-one foundation garment gives the cor rect long, unbroken line, and is eX ceptionally useful to the woman

WASP WAISTLINERS

Fashion takes a new shape this fall, and with it comes new gir- dle.
 Since most of US are not built with wasp waistlines, stringent means are indicated if we are to fit into the new fall clothes-and this means a wasp waist belt.
 Many of the new clothes come equipped with built-in "waistlines, or small boned inner belts which squeeze the waistline into shape be- fore the outer belt is fastened Others require a separate founda- ton garment to achieve the correct hourglass silhouette.
 This fall you'll be seeing the new corselet belts in most shops, and at first sight they may be a distinct shock, looking exactly like those garments grandmother used to wear when she bragged about her 22- inch, Waistline.

MOURNING DOVES FOUND, INT. ALASKA;
 AApLANED SOUTH

A small mourning dove, who got his directions mixed and flew north to Alaska when he should have been heading for California, is well on the way toward becom- ing as famous as Wrong Way Corrigan," today.
 With the tourist season over and winter already knocking on the door, the lone, brown dove and a foot of snow arrived simultane- ously September 30, at the home of MT. and Mrs. Paul Waugh at Clear, on the Alaska Railroad.
 Realizing that Alaska was no place for doves, Mrs. Waugh ask cd the Fairbanks Housing Agency to help find a suitable winter home for the bird, preferably a little farther south of the North Pole.
 Pan American World Airways Agents at Fairbanks offered to give the dove a complimentary ride on a southbound Clipper flight, to get him started in the right di- rection.
 On bis arrival at Seattle, Fish and Wildlife authorities were im- mediately interested.
 "A dove found in interior Alaska Remarkable" exclaimed their re- search experts, who study the mi gratory path of birds. Doves have never been found farther north than the southernmost tip of the Territory A storm must have car ried him north for hundreds of miles
 The Fairbanks Alaska Game Com mission is also interested, as they have not heard of mourning doves in the Territory ever before. A complete record of the remarkable flight is heing made.
 The adventurous dove is. resting up at the Woodland Park Zoo for the winter and is under careful ob- servation. Should the rigors of his long journey prove too much, his final resting place will be in the University of Washington museum

NLRB Sets DeadIine
OF Oct. 81 for Unions
Financial Statements
Final Date for Submitting
Anti-Communist Pledges
Postponed by Denhom
By jones Y. Newton

Unions will be given until Oc-
tober 81 to satisfy the National
Labor Relations Board that they
have circulated financial state
ments among their members, it
was learned today.
This step came after Robert N.
Denham, NLRB general counsel,
postponed the deadline for the fl
ing of non Communist affidavits by
union officers until the end of next
month.
In addition to the loyalty affi-
davits and the supplying of finan-
cial statements to members, unions
also must file financial statements
and other data about their organi-
cations with the Labor Department
to qualify for business before the
NLRB under the Hartley Act.
Meanwhile, officers of the United
Mine Workers District so, an or
ganization comprising workers in
numerous industries and crafts, an
nounced they will allow all pend
ing cases before the NLRB to drop
by default. This is a result of John
L. Lewis refusal to file the required
non Communist affidavit. MIR.
Lewis, while an anti Communist
himself. has taken the position that
labor in battling the Taft-Hartley
law should not comply with any
part of it.
Mr.. Lewis recently blocked favor

Council on the affidavit issue. Under

81 Per Cent Sewer Increase.
The municipal sewer division ap-
preparation request of Sanitary Di-

All increase of 81 per cent, all but
$4,000 of it for new construction,
over the amount the sewer division
is spending in the current fiscal year.
For construction, to catch up with
the city's growth during the war

The remaining $1,280,0O0 in the
