C. /• THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1936 AS IT WILL SfeEM to SEVE^t MILLtOM KIBW VOTERS- Washington, Oct. 18.—The mhst im portant news which has occun*^ in Washington for many months—pos sibly the most impoHant news since the beginning of the depression— was the unexpected | announcement •that an agreement had been reached by the United States, England and France, for the stabilization of the currencies of the world’s three great est democracies, on a basis of a parity of values. This was the culmination of ef forts which were ^gun in 1932 and which took form in the Summer of 1933 in the World Eoconmic Con ference ' held in London. That con- ference failed to accomplish anything | when the United States withdrew itsj delegates because of France’s stub born insistence that it would not co- "operate in any movement which would, reduce .the-.gold ,;valne..,.ql..ih)g. franc. Since then the political situation in France has changed and that na tion’s steady loss of world trade, due to the French government’s main tenance of the franc at a higher pro portion value than the pound sterling and the dollar, has finally impressed upon the French people the.^ import ance of equalizing international ex change. So when France finally made the proposal to devalue the franc by about 30 percent^ provided England and America would coope rate in assisting to maintain its, gold value on the new basis, both of the other nations were willing to agree. Forecasts Trade Reviva.I As had been expected, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland followed the example of France, so that now, except for Germany, Italy and Po land, all of the important European currencies have been placed on an equal basis with the currencies of Great Britian and America. Italy is expected to see the light before long. Germany’s financial po- Biition is such that it may be difficult for* the Hitler Government to fall into line. But the- results just arrived at, which followed weeks of inter national discussions over the trans- Atlantic telephone and through dip lomatic channels, are regarded her as promising to bring about a re storation of international trade on A scale which will be of immeasuraibla benefit to all of the nations con cerned.

This was im mediately reported to the Treasury by the Chase '{National Bank, and the Treasury notified te bank that it would take up the offering at the current market value of $4.97 to the pound, out of the exchange stabiliza tion fund of $2,000,000,000. ''This move by the Russian Gov ernment was interpreted \at first as an effort to depress the pound and impair the workings ^ the new agreement between France, England and America before it had got fair ly started. This has been snicb de nied from Moscow, which claims that it was merely a necessary move to relaize funds with which to meet obligations maturing in London. The whole situation is pointed to as additional evidence of the cloise- ness with which the affairs of every nation are-tied to those of every other nation, and the consequent im portance of maintaining friendly re lations and putting no unnecessary obstacles in the way of the exchange of commodities with .each other, if any nation, no matter how peaceful its desire', is. to avoid being entang led in a war.

Fashions for fall are going to have a decided influence on your make-up. The^casual, almost mannish, look pro duced by slouchy tweeds, sleek hai? and bare finger-nails is definitely out. You can’t be casual when your clothes are cut on slim princess lines, when you are wearing rich velvets with old- world touches of lace, and when even your street dress fastens with a vel vet bow. You have 4q live up to the romantic glamour that is the keynote of the sytles for fall. Complexions are going hack to the pink and white standard, and hands will be strictly feminine. Swarthy skins and unpolished fingernails are both taboo. Newest polishes are the^ soft, elusive smoky shades, which afe particularly good when they echo'oSe of the tones in your frock. Raisin and autumn wine shades, for instance, call for polKsh with a faint hint of mauve or blue. . ^ A smoky shade especially created to^carry out the .romantic mood is old ro^. Its faint tinge of smoke-blue ties it in with all shades of blue, gray or wine. When you are wearing any of ■ the warm copper and coffee browns, change to polish in rust. But not the rust to match your suntan. There is a new light rust with a soft golden undertone that is grand with ail the gold touche that arr^going to accept many of the fall blacks and browns. Your skills must have the texture of a gardenia to set off properly the autumn modes. Hands must be pam pered with creams, and watched to see that nails and cuticle are petal smooth.
