Adolf Hitter War Dance for Duce B enito mussolIni, visiting Adolf Hitler for the purpose of composing and presenting to the world a statement of the intentions and demands of the Italian and German governments, was received by the Nazis with great en thusiasm. II Duce, on the way to Ber lin, stood on a hill in Mecklenburg with Hitler and witnessed a big war dance staged by the reichsfuehrer that displayed the re gained military might of Germany most impressive ly. Hitler’s best officers and troops, armed with the latest weapons of death, put on a sham battle partici pated in by all land and air forces. In the nearby Baltic the German warships showed how they chase “Red” submarines; and at Wustrow the anti-aircraft batteries gave a demonstration of their effectiveness. The huge munitions plants in the Ruhr district were visited, and the throngs of workers, given a holiday with pay, cheered the two dicta- .tors heartily. Every city and vil lage was decorated. In Berlin there were tremendous demonstrations Wd elaborate festivities in honor of the visitor from Rome. As for the statement by the rulers of Italy and Germany, the best guess was that it would declare that* hereafter Fascism and Naziism must be shown proper respect by all powers, that “defamation” of the regimes must stop and that their aims and intentions must be under stood by the world and that their (right to political parity must be recognized. To the German press Mussolini said: “My visit to Germany is wholly a matter of the heart, a vis ible sign of the cordial friendship (between two great, cultured peoples that trust each other implicitly. “The two peoples will clasp hands, will put their packs and rifles on their shoulders and will march side t>y side in the future, for this future belongs to us.” Russia Warns Japan T OKYO officially notified Berlin that the Chinese were plotting (to attack the Russian embassy in Nanking with planes disguised as Japanese aircraft, for the purpose of involving the Soviet government in the Sino-Japanese conflict. With the equivalent of “Oh, yeah?”, Russia (retorted with a stern warning that it would hold Japan responsible for any bombing of the embassy, inten tional or accidental. The Soviet of ficials said they considered the re ported plot a “pure prevarication showing the intention of some Jap anese military powers to bombard the Soviet embassy intentionally and then try to escape responsibility.” With callous brutality Japan con tinued the air raids on Nanking, Canton and other large Chinese cities, the bombs slaughtering thou sands of helpless civilians. The ut- Her contempt for protests of western nations shown by Jetpan seemed warranted by the failure to insist on respect for the nine-power treaty 'guaranteeing the territorial integ rity of China. For this failure Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-shek blames especially the United States. “This war,” said hei, “will last as long as Japanese aggression lasts in China.” The League of Nations advisory committee adopted a resolution con demning the Japanese aircraft for bombarding open towns, though the British tried hard to avoid mention ing Japan by name. Leland Harrison, the American ob- jserver without vote, sat silent [throughout the acrimonious debate pn the committee. ' A Japanese submarine sank a fleet of Chinese fishing junks off the coast of southern China, killing 300 men, women and children. Yarnell's Policy Wins A DMIRAL HARRY YARNELL was decidedly opposed to the policy of Washington to withdraw American warships from Chinese waters in the face of danger. His protests have been considered by the general board of the Navy de partment and his program ap proved. Consequently our naval vessels will remain there to protect our nationals “as long as the pres ent controversy between China and Japan exists.” The Navy department announced that the Asiatic fleet could not be withdrawn under present conditions “without failure in our duty and without bringing great discredit on the United States navy.” —*— More Woe in Palestine rjREAT BRITAIN’S contested VJ plan to divide Palestine be tween the Jews and the Arabs, with a slice for herself, came to the front again when Lewis Andrews, British commissioner of Galilee, was assas sinated by a group of terrorists in Nazareth. Three men, two in Eu ropean garb and one in peasant clothing, ambushed Andrews and shot him and his bodyguard to death. Andrews had gained the enmity of extremists because of the strictness, of his rule as district commissioner' and his life had been threatened fre* quently. O'Mahoney Buffs In PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT,*on the 1 way to Seattle, first entered the “enemy’s” country when he crossed, the border of Wyoming, the state of Senator Joseph O’ Mahoney, leader of the anti - Supreme, court enlargement forces. Mr. Roose velt’s train reached Cheyenne in the ear ly morning, and there, among the welcomers, was Jo seph, though he had pointedly not been _ . invited to board the train. He walked O Mahoney a i ongs ide the Presi dent’s car and Mrs. Roosevelt emerged, shook his hand and asked after Mrs. O’Mahoney. The senator then entered the pri vate car and he and Mr. Roosevelt shook hands and said “Hello,” but the atmosphere was decidedly chill ing; he took leave of the party at Casper, Wyo., after accompanying the President and his group on a drive about that city. The Chief Executive spent two days in Yellowstone National park, and then went on to Boise, Idaho; to the Bonneville dam near Port land, and thence to Seattle. No Special Session A CCORDING to high government officials in Washington, the President has dropped his plan to call a special session of congress in November. Administration leaders, it was said, were convinced that it would only invite trouble over the appointment of Hugo Black to the Supreme court and further damage Mr. Roosevelt’s legislative pro gram. Nofed Merchant Dies U'DWARD A. FILENE, best known of all Boston’s merchants, died of pneumonia in the American hos pital in Paris. He was seventy-seven years old. Besides being a business man, Mr. Filene was a noted social economist. He was sometimes called the apostle of mass produc tion and distribution. Only ten days after he took charge of the American legation in Vienna, Grenville T. Emmet died of double pneumonia. He was sixty years old and was a former law partner of President Roosevelt. He was minister to the Netherlands in 1933 and was given the Austrian post last July. what thinks .about: Irvin S. Cobb Rivals for Nudism. S ANTA MONICA, CALIF.—I took part in a parade cele brating old days in California, riding in an ancient open car riage with our postmaster here —he calls Jim Farley “Jim”— and our congressman, who like practically all Democrats in good standing in the southern part of the state, craves to be the next nominee for governor. If any more aspirants bob up, there won’t be anybody left to vote for them. This cer tainly has been a banner year for or anges and candi dates. Our outfit got a lot of cheers from the crowds and a per fect ovation when passing a given point where the Elks also were giv ing away beer. All three of us felt pret ty proud of our selves until we realized that prob ably the applause wasn’t meant for us. There must have been thou sands in that crowd who’d never be fore seen a horse-drawn pleasure vehicle. If Lady Godiva, dressed only in her long hair, rode on a white horse through any modern city street, there’d probably be ten who’d hur rah for the horse against one who looked a second time at the lady. Sight of a white horse would be a treat to one and all, whereas in these days of nudism and public un dressing on the beaches—but that will be about all for that. • • • International Messes. W ITH the great powers tottering on the brink of hostilities to a more tottery extent than usual; with the Spaniards still willing to fight to the last Italian from Brother Musso lini’s loan collection; with China battered to a bloody hash-meat in what would closely resemble a war if only Japan had so declared it, which must indeed be gratifying to the ghosts of the thousands al ready slain and the homeless ref ugees from ruined cities—this seems a mighty good time for us to keep our shirt on. Kindly recall that other historic occasion when Uncle Sam felt called upon to hop into a mess cooked up by foreign nations and, as a result, not only lost his shirt, but has never since been able to collect the laun? dry bills for washing the said shirt. This, if you get the drift, is a subtle reference to those defaulted Euro pean debts. Let us, therefore, highly resolve that, no matter how great the pres sure from within or without—mainly it’ll be, as was the case before from without—we’ll keep the old shirt on. • * • Classifying Bores. I ’VE been classifying bores. Class B bores are those still using the lapel clutch or buttonhole grapple, whereas a class A bore is one whose boast is that he never lays a finger on you—just holds the victim by psychic power. Lately I’ve met what I should call a super A type, the same being a gentleman who, in addition to hav ing perfect technique otherwise, had been imbibing garlic to excess—and didn’t care who knew it. When fi nally rescued, they had to use a pulmotor on me. Meeting this champion reminded me of what I heard the late Wilson Minzer say to a gentleman who in sisted on boring Wilson while suf fused with the afterglow brought on by combining bourbon whisky and Bermuda onions in his diet. His hiccoughs were not only frequent but had echoes to them. Finally, when Wilson was practi cally ready for artificial respiration to be applied, he said: “Dear sir, your breath would start the windmills turning in an old Dutch painting.” * • • Typical Texans. T USED to think a typical Texan * was one who said he was going to send you a ten-gallon hat and then didn’t do it. But he is a sub species. A really orthodox Texan tells you he’s giving you a pair of genuine Texas steer horns. They’ll be along as soon as he can have them shipped. But he never ships ’em— that’s what makes him typical. So many typical Texans have vol unteered to send me sets of long horns that, if all these parties were laid end to end, you’d have one of the finest consecutive strings of born liars ever seen. But they wouldn’t stay that way; they’d rise right up and start looking for Easterners tc promise long horns to. Not that I’m craving any long horns. They. stretch so far from tip to tip they make you think of a muskellunge fisherman trying to show you how much that biggest one measured. If you hang them low, they prong people in the eye. If you hang them high, they’re chiefly useful for cobwebs to drape on. And no self-respecting wife will let you hang them anywhere. IRVIN S. COBB C—WNU Service. Make Your Own Lace Accessories By CHERIB NICHOLAS »j) M ISS COLLEGE GIRL, Miss Debutante and matrons young and not so young who being active in social affairs need must “dress up” to occasion, here’s telling you how to economically acquire that air of elegance which fashion de mands for this fall and winter. No matter how ungenerous your clothes allowance may happen to be you can have a whole collection of lace “pretties” such as the sketches here show at comparative ly trifling cost. In fact the idea that prompts this illustration, to gether with its story, is to give you “pointers” on dressing smartly and handsomely on a limited allowance. A touch of lace will do it! Trans form your simplest demure and un pretentious gown into a costume of distinction. And now that we’ve told you, the first step is either to let your favorite dressmaker in on the secret (show her these sketches) or perhaps you prefer to thriftily adopt the “make it your self” course of action. Not that you have to be an expert with the nee dle, for, provided with carefully se lected patterns, there is no reason why, if you can sew even a little bit, that you should not successfully copy these charming fantasies. No matter how many you make of these lovely lace items you can’t ever have too many. Here’s a word of friendly advice: don’t stint in getting the best type laces for the finer and more ex quisite the lace you use in making these dainty fashions the more con clusively will they carry a message of high-style prestige. If you are clever and have a knack of your own a pattern will not be necessary for the cape for it is cut along simple circular lines. However, a pattern similar to the model shown should be easily avail able. It has little tailored epaulet effects on the shoulders and cun ning wee buttons with tiny thread- crochet loops to fasten it down the SILHOUETTE TRENDS FOR EVENING DRESS By CHERIE NICHOLAS Outside of that the pencil-slim Directoire with its high slit skirt and the revival of the Empress Eu genia, there is a definite tendency in many houses to a Spanish type of dress. This is usually marked by flounce ruffles. And one must not forget the gently widened skirt as evidenced also in the afternoon clothes. The most startling bit of material used in this has been the placing of various types of lace over lame to give the firmness and stiff ness required. One more skirt— and the silhouette can be settled. That is the short front. This varies from the gradation effect to those cut off clear to the knees in front to show a filmy petticoat of ruffled net. A cross between this and the Directoire are skirts which are cut away like a man’s coat, to the knees and then come down to the ground at either side seam. Daytime Footwear for Fall Loses Rugged Sporty Look Most daytime shoes have lost the rugged, sporty look that formerly characterized the appropriate foot wear for tailored suits. Smart, soft- toed models, many of them made with elastic insets and gores, mould the foot trimly. Others, constructed entirely of elastic leather, insure a streamlined silhouette, unmarred by gapping sides or fastenings that protrude. These snug, form-fitting styles are as easy on the feet as bedroom slippers, partly because of their construction and partly because of their comfortable walking - height heels covered with matching ma terials or built up of little uncov ered layers that are nick-proof and resilient. front. You can get it hemstitched about the edge or finish with roll hem. As an evening wrap this cape of black Chantilly may be worn over the fashionable all-black gown or over the dress done in lovely pastels. Have you heard the news about the stunning blouse and skirt or jacket and skirt formals that de signers are featuring this season? They are quite the talk in fashion realms. The jacket is supposed to be of sumptuous fabric or lace in contrast color to the monotone skirt. Choose black lace if you want it to “go with everything,” although metal lace is wonderfully effective, or if you cherish a color scheme why not a lace jacket in the new spruce green with a crepe skirt in darker rich green, or suppose we say any color just so the jacket is lace? It is no trick at all to get a simple basque-jacket pattern of the type pictured and it will be found easy to make. The little white cotton lace bolero is very popular and it can be made up so inexpensively it is worth while to keep two or three in waiting for emergency calls. Wear it over sim ple afternoon dresses or over a floor length crepe sheath which trans forms it into an evening ensemble. Jeff of London has made an ef fective accessory ensemble of black Chantilly lace. (See sketch to right bottom.) The jabot with its high neckline matches a pair of gaunt lets of the same black Chantilly, and together they give the essential feminine look to the most tailored of suits. © Western Newspaper Union. BRIDLE-PATH CHIC By CHERIE NICHOLAS To dress up to the part she plays should be the ambition of every true sportswoman. It may be along scenic bridle paths that the enthusi ast guides her gallant steed or it may be in the glare of bright light and trumpet loud in the fashionable horse show arena that she will make her bow. In either event her riding togs must be correct down to the slightest detail. The picture shows a sartorially perfect outfit. We would especially call your atten tion to the horse’s head carved from brown shell catalin that is noncha lantly pinned on her coat. During the summer it became quite a fad to wear novel carved catalin fish, frogs, snails and such, either clips or brooches, on one’s bathing suit. 'Tavolite ?Q.aclpe of} the U/eeh Mixed Mustard Pickles Use two quarts each of beans, cauliflower, tiny cucumbers and silver - skinned onions. Cut the beans and break the cauliflower into flowerets. The cucumbers may be sliced lengthwise if de sired. Shred five large peppers and put all on to boil in a gallon of vinegar. When boiling take up the vegetables and return the vinegar to the kettle. Mix one ounce tumeric, one-half pound mustard, three cups brown sugar, two cups flour, one-half cup salt and enough cold vinegar to form a paste. Add this paste to the hot vinegar and stir until well blended. Then add the vegetables and heat until scalding hot again. Seal at once.
