At last, q new fashion discovery
has made its appearance! Now
you can have shoulder pads for
every ensemble in your wardrobe
and keep the pads all lined up
in your lingerie drawer just wait
ing to be worn with the specific
outfit for which they were de-
signed. These pads are perma-
nently shoulder -molded and made
of superfoam with non-slip lin
gerie clasps attached. Owning
these will eliminate the laborious
job of sewing pads in each dress
or blouse. In fact, no longer
will one even have to sew in snap
tapes. These pads can be at
tached to the bra or slip strap
and thus being, they become part
of you instead of part of the
dress. For set-in sleeves. there
is a shallow shoulder pad; for
dolman, cape or raglan sleeves,
a beautiful rounded one which
hasn't a suspicion Of a seam to
spoil the smooth contour of its
symmetrical line: for sharply slop-
ing shoulders, a slightly higher
style than the shallow, with par
ticular application to coats, suits
and toppers. The last, but not
least, q diminutive rounded style
which was designed to support
light weight fabrics featured in
blouses and very thin summer
frocks. This particular style would
be a perfect "all-purpose" shoul-
der pad for small teen-age figures.
You'll find all of the styles are
covered in rayon taffeta or cotton
broadcloth and come in wide
range of colors. No matter which
you select, rayon or cotton, they
are all washable. Use a little
soap and water. squeeze out the

Told Of Need 10 Change
Old City Charters

Periodic revision of city charters
was advocated today by priest
as one means of keeping democ-
racy up to date.
The Rev. Edward Bowling, S. j.,
of St. Louis, told a session Of the
Summer School of Catholic Ac-
ton at Georgetown University
that rewriting city charters was
important because otherwise
power is in the hands of dead
charter members of former time
and should be transferred to the
living"
The speaker also urged voters
to interest themselves In the
workings of local government for
there he is informed and can be
most effective. Within this prov
ince he noted that improved elec-
ton methods and a more demo-
cratic ballot would be the best
means of getting local govern
ment away from invisible forces
and into the hands of the voters.
Yesterday the Rev. Thomas F.
Gavin of Canisius College, Buffalo,
N. Y, called on Protestants and
Catholics to learn more about
each other so they could work
better together. Declaring that
many Protestants dislike Catholics
because they have misconcep-
ton of what Catholicism stands
for. These misconceptions would
disappear with greater knowledge
by both groups.

olic Action is sponsored by the
