The Living Soul of Law

THERE are two ways of looking
l. at any law, or you might say
there are two sides of every law,
the inside and the outside, the soul
and the body as it we're. The body,
the outside, is the letter Of the law;
the inside or soul of the law is the
spirit or principle of the law.
The body of the law, like the
body of a man, lies; it is not in
tended to live on. and on. But
the soul Of the law (if it has
one; some don't) lives forever.
Take, for instance, that law in
Lev. 1879, 10. The body Of it, the
letter, says: Do not be efficient in
getting in your crops Leave some
wheat in the field. Leave some
grapes on the vine.
Today that sounds rather stupid,
on the face of it, and no good farm
er would pay attention to it. But
look at the spirit of that law: the
wheat and the grapes were to be
left for ''the poor and the stranger. -
There was then no Red Cross, nc
bureau of displaced persons, nc
travellers aid, no family service, NO
social security, none of our many
modern agencies for the underpriv-
ileged. Those who had property
were hidden to have a care for
those who had none.
The duty of society to see that
no one starves, the duty of all
to help those in need, that is the
living soul of this law, and it
still breathes in laws of the Goth
century-laws Of old age assist
ance, maternity assistance, PEN
sion plans and so forth.
The living soul of the Old Testa.
ment laws can be expressed this
way: The love Of justice and the
justice of love. The best and wisest
laws today, are those which give
this same spirit its fullest and most
practical form.

and slim-fitting glace gloves. The
lines are more sleek and fewer
strictly tailored gloves are seen.
Victorian influence is present both
in the wider use of capeSkin (glace)
leather and in the delicate cuff dec
orations with lace. ribbon and
beading.
Glace gloves will double for day
time and evening wear, the darker
shades being used with suits and
street wear while the light pastel
colors will be popular for after
dark costumes.
Even the classic pigskin gloves
have adopted the trim and slender
look, though they are worn primari-
ly with casual and sports clothes.
Smart glove colors for the season
are the darker shades of brown and
green as well as the new slate and
charcoal gray. Other popular au.
tumn accessory colors are black,
beige. white. navy and wine.
Slender TOelines
Match Hemlines
AS dresses go, then so must foot

which you'll be seeing in today's
footwear are designed to match the
longer hemline, and to lend to foot.
wear the same aristocratic and
formal note that pervades the cos.
tune picture generally. according
to St. Louis shoe stylists.
Earlier in the year it was thought
that toelines might be pointed, az
they were in the 10th century, but
now it appears that more modified
versions such as the softly tapered
toe will be. the fashion.
Heels are as graceful as the toes
thus drawing on the high, curved
Louis heel for inspirations You'll
find that heels are thinner and
fragile, and it looks as though the
ultra-slender french heel will be
leading the fashion parade.

Jesus Last Word

THE Jews figured out that there
L were in all 613 separate com.
mandments in all the laws com.
bined. They used to have interest.
ing debates as to which of all the
613 commandments was the most
important.
They came to Jesus with that
well-worn question. Jesus quot
ed only two laws, one from
Deut. 6:5 and the other from
Lev. 1913. Love God, love your
neighbor, he said. All the other
laws depend on these two.
To this day, Christian thinkers
are not entirely agreed as to just
how far Old Testament laws may be
binding on Christians. But all are
agreed on two points: The basic
principle of these laws is always
good, and that fundamental principle
is love.

velvet, wool, interesting buttons or
other dress-maker touches.
The peignoir coat, belted in front
and loose in the back, may also be
one of the most important fur coat
fashions of the season.
The empire style coat, worked
high in the waist and in the back
is the most significant coat of the
season as direct result of the new,
Simmer dress fashions. This coat
has narrow, sloping shoulders with
fullness controlled rather than far
ing out.
The demi-coat is sometimes full
and other times slim and narrow.
and is destined to be popular be-
cause it can be worn for several
seasons. It ranges from 80 to 36
inches in length, thus allowing sufi-
cient room for long, slim skirts to
show off to full advantage.
The semi-wrap is the fifth silhou-
cite, and is an outgrowth of last
years cocoon coat. This has the
curved hemline, and is good on tall
dramatic types.
This Seasons Gloves
Are Lady-Like
Tapered fingers, slender wrist
lines and smooth-gloved hands pre-
dominate on the glove fashion
scene. New designs by the Ameri-

style trends: an overwhelming en-
phasis on the side-slanted hat no
matter what the contour; major
attention to berets, cuffed or other
wise treated pillboxes, bonnet types,
with manipulated detail for women's
hats.
AS for color in hats, you'll find
that cloud or off-white shades in
felt rate a lot of interest. In the
novelty tones you'll find emphasis
on such colors as royal, American
copper, avocado, gray, fiamingo.
red, continental green and sprin-
king of tape, castor. coffee and
beige.
You'll be seeing high feathers and
veilings as trimmings for many
hats. All-over embroideries of beads
or sequins are used, particularly
on berets.
Generally speaking, hats are
small, head-itting with occasional
casual and manipulated brims of
medium-size.
Look For These Coat
Silhouettes
If you're buying fur coat this
season, it may we'll be that one of
the following silhouettes should be
your choice. for they emerge as
those which will probably be seen.

Love Is Not Repealed

THIS is what Christians mean
L when they say that the laws of
God are eternal. We do not mean
that every law between the covers
of the Bible can and should be used
as the law Of our land today.
What we do mean is that the
spirit of these laws Is immortal,
for the spirit is love, and love
never has been repealed.
Show me a law which helps the
strong at the expense of the weak,
a. law which encourages cheating
and selfishness and fighting, and
will show you bad law. Show me
law which encourages and helps
men to deal fairly with one another
and to live together in peace, and
I will show you good law. Every
law that helps you love your neigh
Dor is good law; indeed there is
something divine about it, for God
is Love.

Womdn's World
Trends in Fashion Designed
To Make You Look Prettier
by &,tta Haley

IT'S easy to enumerate certain
L fashion trends for the season, but
women are most interested in what
the new clothing does for them, at
least in the final analysis. All ex-
perts agree that this years clothing
makes women look prettier and
more feminine.
| This years dresses have both
color and warmth, accented by the
deep rich tones that quality woods,
jerseys, rayon gabardines and cor
duroys give. There's interest, too,
in plaids, in gray, copper tones
bright reds and dark greens.
If you're a school and college girl,
your interest will be in such fash
ion-wise features as dropped shoul-
ders, shallow capes, frilled cuffs,
stoles, and the convertibles which
are jumper dresses with jackets
that can be changed to fit the oc-
casion.
For all women, here are some of
the trends worth noting. The skirt
with the slim front and back panel
fullness and smooth hip lines are
new this season. Among the other
skirts (which are fashion-worthy,
there's the skirt that buttons at the
front, back or either side; or, the
godet skirt tucked and gored which
is full without being voluminous; or
the straightforward skirt with back
fullness.
Necklines are reaching higher in
daytime clothes, both in dresses and
coats. For evening wear, you may
want to choose the ever so fattering
portrait neckline, or for a formal
dress, something of the strapless
variety.
Side-Slanted Hats
Are Emphasized
Whether you buy budget-priced
hat or an original creation by one
of the top designers, here are salient

one of the most interesting sections
of the Bible.
Some of these old laws are dead;
but even mummy can be interest
ing. Call them dead if you like; you
still can learn great deal about
the times and the minds and the
customs of those far-off days by
reading the laws which governed
peoples daily lives.
But it is hardly fair to call
them dead. Rather, they have
been honorably retired. That is
to say. they were admirable
laws in their time and place,
and Gods will was learned
through sthem.

Italian Factory Uses
u. ). Flour But Half
OF Workers Are Red
By Morton Wade CompbeI|
Ster Soeetot corresnondent


ROME-Twenty freight cars
full of American flour roll each
week into the yard of pasta fac
tory near the old Roman wall. But
more than half the 500 workers are
communistic just the same.
The factory, ruined during the
war, has been rebuilt with Italian
money but without the American
-four would stand completely idle.
The people in many small Italian
towns complain they never see ac-
tual American aid arriving. These
pasta workers see aid by the car
load. Yet they say freely, even in
the hearing of their democratic en-
oloyers that a communistic life
would be better.
Vetzio has worked at the factory
for IA years. He started at boys
wages, twenty lire a day. Now he
gets 800 lire day but can buy less
than he could as boy. Food costs
a hundred times more than it did
and is not as good, Vetzio said. He
lives with his wife Adele and one
year-old son Franco in one room.
Hope For Red Victory.
Dante, an ironworker, and Um-
berto, a mechanic, both get about
/ 900 lire-a dollar and sixty cents
a day. They agreed with Vetzio that
all of the $50 men and many of the
$50 women in the plant think their
wages would go up and food prices
come down If the Reds should win
April 1S.
After all, says Dante, who has
also been at the factory for years,
Italy never has had enough flour
of its own. The plant used to get
