The Chinese Ambassadors resi-
dence, Twin Ooks. Underwood Photo,
By KATHARINE M. BROOKS

nNE OF THE GREAT
~ charms of Washington is
the meeting of distinguished
men and women from other
lands. In the past many of
these have worn their native
dress, and the Orientals are
the last to discard them for
utilitarian Occidental wear
ing apparel. In many coun-
tries the robes are a part of
the religion.
Among those to keep to
their native garb, at least in
a modernized form, are the
Chinese ladies. Half a CEN
tury ago the Chinese Minister
and members of his staff wore
their long coats, as they did
in China for so many CEN
turieS. Since the establish
ment of the republic this
custom has disappeared al
most entirely.
Nine. v. K. Wellington Koo,
wife of the Chinese Ambassa-
dor, has adopted our modes
except in her gowns for for
NAL wear. The color photo
graph reproduced on the
cover shows her in one of
her very becoming robes. The
Chinese silk brocade is of a
delicate flower design, and
across the front is embroi-
dered in gold the Chinese
dragon. The costume follows
the pattern for all Chinese
women - straight up and
down, the narrow skirt slaShed
at each side from hem almost
to the knee to allow freedom
to walk. The skirt always is
ankle or floor length. The
Sits in this jade green gown
are bound with gold which
matches the dragon and the
binding about the low stand
ing collar and across the left
shoulder, where the dress
fastens with tiny gold buttons.
Nine. Koo wears her hand
some jade and diamond ear
rings with this costume; the
stud on the ear Is jade, sur
rounded with diamonds, and
mas two pendants, one jade
and one diamond. She also
has a string of matched and
graduated jade beads. Usually

BLlNDING HEADLIGHTS
CAUSE MANY ACCIDENTS

Last year in Nebraska. $40
highway accidents and IL fatal
tiles were the result of binding
headlights. Dwight Ravens, Pres
ident of the Nebraska State Safe
ty Council, points out that most
of these accidents could have been
prevented had these drivers obser-
we'd the courtesy Of the road ard
simply depressed the beam of
their driving lights as they
preached on-coming cars on the
highways
Mr.. Ravens further reminds
drivers that night driving will be
ever more hazardous this summer
due to a great increase in the
number of mentioning motorists.
Captain Sanders of the Safety
Patrol states that headlights
which are dim and inadequate are
equally as dangerous on the high
way as the blazingly bright head
light which is not properly foe
used or the car which has only
one headlight in operation. He
urges drivers to make the proper
adjustment, requirements, or re-
pair of their headlights and make
certain they do not blind on-com-
ing motorists.

Nebraska Veteran
Population $4,000

Recent surveys indicate an even
tual World War IL veteran popu
lation of 127, 200 in Nebraska, it
was revealed today by Ashley
Westmoreland said, includes the
veterans already discharged by the
armed forces and the soldiers,
sailors and marines still in service.
The potential will increase until
the official termination of the war
which has no yet been declared,
he added.
The minimum potential veteran
population of World War Il for
the nation is estimated at $4,000,
900, Westmoreland disclosed. BY
comparison, World War 1 produc-
ed 4,627 900 veterans; the Civil
War, 1,849,O 900 Union Army vet
Grams and the Spanish-American
War. $4,000, for a combined total
of 6,857,O0O, which is considera-
bly, less than one-half of the min
imum estimated for World War IL
alone, he added.
The estimated veteran popula-
tons for the other four states in
VAS Branch 8 area, with head
quarters at Fort Smelling, Min
nesota, are:
Minnesota-2e6, 900; Iowa, 252, 800
Nebraska 127 200; North Dakota
6 $4,000, and South Dakota so, 800.

.One-Fiffh Of
Food Used tn
america asted

A year ago the Fish and Wild
life Service estimated there are
probably two rats for each per-
son in the United States and that
each rat consumes about fifty
pounds Of food a year and wastes
Of destroys three times as much
The loss of foods chargeable to
rate, amounts therefore, to about
Sc billion pounds Of % million
tons a year.
Efforts to get more funds for
rat eradication failed.
In September, 1943, the Food In
formation Division of the u. S.
Department of Agriculture report
ed on food waste that studies of
garbage collected in 247 cities
showed it contained IAN average
of 300 pounds of food which is
purchased by American house
holders"
Adding together (1) the waste
from farm to retail store, and (2)
the waste in the home, butexclud-
ing losses on the farm prior to
harvest, total food losses or over
all reduction in weight between
amounts harvested and amounts
actually consumed appear to be
between &c and sc percent. The
lower figure Of &c percent pro-
badly would represent a nse
vative estimate of overall losses
in this country, even in 1943."
The Peoples Lobby has SUBMIT
ed these facts to the President
and saked him to appeal to the
American people to end the food
waste which means starvation for
many millions in other countries,
and to allot adequate funds for
rat determination. This would
save a lot, of taxes in enabling
America to help the world, as we
all really wish to.

your feeling that 'the House of

not out of committee in a matter

under suspension Of the rules and

Immediately upon receipt Of
your letter regarding "Blum's
