He Jutland Veteran, has a charm- Heads Home Fleet in .f Swedish wife, who was Marie Louise Berndtson, daughter of Axe! Berndtson of Stockholm. Their home has been a salon of mingling British and Scandinavian culture. Sir Charles has not been particu larly conspicuous in Britain’s high command of the navy, but, by all accounts, he “has what it takes.” Sixty years old, in the navy for 46 years, he has been in command of the home fleet since 1938. He fought in the Battle of Jutland, winning the D. S. C. From 1925 to 1928, he was director of naval ordnance. He commanded the destroyer flotilla Mediterranean fleet in 1930 and 1931 and was sea lord and controller of the navy from 1932 to 1934. He was second in command of the Mediter ranean fleet from 1934 to 1936. A British friend who arrived here recently tells me Sir Charles is re garded as perhaps the best naval strategist and tactician of England, of the esteemed “bulldog” type who, unless spurred by higher com mand, would attempt no too-hazard- ous exploits, but may be depended to go all the way through. ♦ O RUNS, no hits, no errors is ^ ^ a good score for a diplomat.

He assumes charge of French and Brit ish interests. He emerged against the backdrop of the Boston Beacon street aris tocracy, and was known as th* “beau of the beaux arts,” when he was studying architecture in Paris. After short turns in architecture and banking, he entered the diplo matic service as a career man, serving in various posts at Tokyo, the Philippines and London until his appointment as minister to Bul garia in 1937. He became minister to Denmark last August. He is a cautious, “message to Garcia” diplomat who has learned never to gei out on a limb—No. 1 in the diplomat’s rubric. This in spite of an occasional frolicsome mood, as when he named his infant daughter Helen Maria, in honor of General Dawes, his former chief at London. IT WAS just a year ago that lean, 1 grim, Calvinistic old Premier Hendryk Colijn warned Holland of big, bad trouble ahead in which in- Stctesman Colijn "tinders 4 cer- IVarned Holland tainly would To Be Prepared ® et hurt un less they pre pared to defend themselves. His urging had much to do with his country’s diligent war preparations of the last twelve-month and today, Mr. Colijn, no longer premier, but an influential elder statesman, says Holland is ready to make things extremely unpleasant for trespass ers. In the World war, the astute Queen Wilhelmina managed to save her country by a miracle of adroit maneuvering. She might be able to do it again, but just in case, they have re-rigged their dykes for web footed warfare, if necessary, greatly enlarged their fighting forces and co-ordinated their defenses for the best possible showing a bantam weight country could possibly make against the big sluggers. Mr. Colijn, 70 years old next July, is an amiable, cultured gentleman, not given to fighting talk, but not inexperienced in real fighting. His political and financial fortunes were advanced by his showing in some oatch-as-catch-can milling against the savage Sassaks on the Island of Lombok, east of Java, when he was a young lieutenant in the Nether lands army. His service in the Far East brought him in touch with Sir Henry Deterding and he moved along with Sir Henry to wealth and eminence in the world expansion of the Royal Dutch Shell Oil company. He is a financier with a strongly liberal political orientation. In his public activities, he has been a vig orous foe of both the Nazis and Communists. In November, 1938, he denounced the Nazi anti-Semitic pogroms as “the most tragic epi sode of modern times.” He is calmly assured that civili zation has staying power, air bombs or no air bombs. He has been leader of Holland's Calvinist party. He was a farm boy who knocked olf milking one night and told his father he was off to military school. ^ ^TaS^CrAn RADw" By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) W HEN Columbia decided to film “The Tree of Liberty” they decided to give the public more than good value. Many of the scenes of the book are laid in Williamsburg, Va., at the time of the Revolution and just afterward. And since the Rockefellers have obligingly re stored most of the buildings of the town so that they look as they did then, Columbia sent the company to Williamsburg. They also invited newspaper writ ers down to see Cary Grant, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Richard Carle and others working, under the very able direction of Frank Lloyd. Students from William and Mary college acted as extras; in a scene made in wind and rain in front of Raleigh tavern you’ll see them, dressed as students of the college were in the seventeen hundreds. The wind and rain were artificially produced on a beautiful spring eve ning. The next afternoon Grant was to be photographed riding up to the door of a famous old plantation. The governor of Virginia and crowds of enthusiastic fans assembled to watch. When you see that scene, Tnagine the governor and the rest White Satin With Lace Accents And Diamonds for Wedding Gown By CHERIE NICHOLAS CARY GRANT of us shivering in a chilly wind from the James river, whiting for the sun to come out, while Grant patiently rode his horse up and down until somebody pointed a candid camera at it at close range, making it so nervous that it ran away. Grant lost his hat and got his wig rumpled, and by the time order was restored the sky was too cloudy for any pic tures to be made. The following day a mob was to storm something or other, and a torchlight parade was to be held. So it rained. The picture people were patient; they’re accustomed to that sort of thing. The newspaper people were not, so they went home. The only news was that the title had to be changed to “The Howards of Virginia,” because the other one sounded too much like a Warner Brothers patriotic short, and that Martha Scott, instead of Joan Fon taine, would play the lead. It’s going to be a swell picture, one of Frank Lloyd’s best—that’s recommendation enough for any movie. Director John Stahl, who has been connected with only two studios— Metro and Universal—during the past 25 years, has broken away, along with such producers as Walter Wanger and Frank Capra, to enjoy the freedom of making his own pic ture selections. You must remem ber his “Back Street,” with Irene Dunne, and “Only Yesterday,” with Margaret Sullavan, to mention just a few of his successes. He’s chosen “The Life of Daniel Webster” for his first free picture, and has signed with James Roose velt to direct “The Boy Grew Older” for him. Spike Jones, drummer in Oscar Bradley’s orchestra on the CBS “Screen Guild Theater,” refused an offer of $200 for a drum head re cently. The original cost of the drum head was only $10—but it’s covered with signatures of famous Hollywood stars who have appeared on the program, from Shirley Tem ple to Bette Davis. Lany Ross was recently nominat ed as the perfect date by a group of pretty girls who act as profes sional fashion models. To show his appreciation, he invited four of them to be his guests at a very smart—and very expensive—night club. When the night was over, Lanny, who was selected as the per fect date because he knows just what to do when escorting a woman, found that he couldn’t pay the check —because he’d left his wallet at home. Many commentators will air their views on the forthcoming presiden tial campaigns to be held this sum mer. To one, however, it will hold special interest. Many years ago Edwin C. Hill, “America’s Star Re porter,” covered the Theodore Roosevelt convention. From the time Teddy became President, Hill was referred to by the Rough Rider as “the unofficial member of my cabinet.” This summer Hill will again cover a Roosevelt convention providing Franklin Delano Roose velt runs for a third term. S ENTIMENT for the wedding gown of traditional white satin seems to prevail among this sea son’s brides-to-be. Not that excep tions to the rule will be lacking for fashion continues to introduce fascinating innovations such as white silk jersey draped in sculp tural lines for the bride’s dress. For the very youthful bride a lead ing designer creates a vision of love liness fashioned of 57 yards of fairy like diaphanous net for the skirt and train. Then there is the excit ingly new nuptial robe made of lovely deep old ivory ribbed silk faille. Even more thrilling is a beautiful model of brocaded silk that takes on a touch of color via a quaint patterning of romantic floral sprigs and foliage. For the simple wedding, fashion declares in favor of the prettiest sheer dimities fancy might picture, which is in line with the new trend to wear smart and lovely cottons this summer. Along this line of thought is an entrancing gown de signed for the bride who favors sweet simplicity. Styled of dotted organdy, there are deep bias-cut ruffles fluttering here and there on bodice and skirt. A low-cut round neckline finished off with flattering frills accents youth in its every detail. However, notwithstanding the lure of bridal themes that depart from the conventional and usual, the fact remains that enthusiasm for a re vival of time-honored traditional white satin is very apparent this season. Furthermore, there is an awakened interest in the all white wedding among'prospective brides. The bride in classic white satin, the attendants in billowy white net, white lilacs, white roses with a plentiful showing of green in foliage and stems makes a picture of sur passing charm and elegance. To distinguish the gown of ivory white satin, superb styling must re flect in every detail. The patrician gown in the illustration bespeaks that perfect finesse that proclaims its elegance. This lovely model boasts a basque bodice with wide picturesque skirt beginning from shirring at the hips. Exquisite Alencon lace inserted in the puffed sleeves carries an important style message that accents of precious lace on white satin is a feature em phasized in spring-summer wedding gowns. The news about the brides pic tured in the insets is that they wear diamonds instead of regulation pearls. Not a surperfluous display that offends good taste—not by any means! A single important piece is the theme fashion advances, per haps an heirloom brooch or pen dant. As aristocratic as a princess is the bride pictured in the top in set. The square-cut neckline with its dainty frill of filmy white tulle is ever so flattering. Her necklace sparkles, so does her tiara head- piece. “Something old and something new” is the thought that is ex pressed in the charming little quaint headdress fashioned from the lace yoke of her mother’s wedding dress worn by the bride portrayed in the oval below. The new diamond cross pendant that lends infinite en chantment is the bridegroom’s gift. Her engagement ring is a marquise (boat shaped) cut—very new and very smart in design. In regard to fabric choices for the maid of honor and the coterie of bridesmaids and flower girl that grace the wedding picture, it is in teresting to note the revival of that old-time favorite, marquisette. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Big White Quills It’s a white season for millinery. If the hat is not all white the ac cent of tremendously large white quills will give the proper touch to a swank navy or black straw hat. For that matter the very latest is to trim one’s voguish gray felt casual hat with a white feather or flock of little white wings. The novelty black straw hat pictured above shows the white feather advantageously in two enormous quills. Organdy Necklace A smart white lingerie touch is treated like a piece of jewelry in a new flower necklace to brighten a dark colored basic dress. The flowers are made of starched white organdy, each one edged with a fine line of red and strung on a rolled organdy band Paris Coats Show Fullness at Back The new coats are of various cuts, fitted and somewhat flared; with movement in the back only; or straight. Morning and sports types again vacillate between the redin- gote, this spring with plaits in its back, and the ample coat that hangs from the neck or from a shallow yoke. A newcomer is the coat that is flat in front and bloused in the back at the waist. There are a few capes, mostly rather straight, broad shouldered, and long enough to cover the gown. Dark Twill Coats Spi •ring’s Fayorite Favorite coat this season is a dark twill cut on fitted lines, though a number of loose-backed ones are also shown. (It’s smart to wear a loose plaid one over a plain suit.) Frocks to wear under the new coats are of printed crepe, jersey and wool. Navy blue, black, milk chocolate brown, gray, cadet blue and sand beige are outstanding colors in new clothes. Newest Silhouette Shows Slim Skirt Outstanding news in the new clothes is a narrower silhouette in which a slim skirt is grafted to a bloused top either in coats or frocks. Otherwise spring skirts are gently flared below a long torso with an incurved waist. TODAY'S HEALTH COLUMN Dr. Barton Consult Doctor For Persistent ‘Crop’ of Boils By DR. JAMES W. BARTON (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) T HE usual treatment for a boil now is to let it alone or perhaps apply a “drawing” oint ment to cover the boil only and not the surround ing skin. The use of poultices on the surrounding skin is a mistake. A poultice that just covers the boils helps to draw the contents of the boil to a “head.” When the boil is ready to open, a toothpick is dipped in carbolic acid and used to make an opening in the boil to allow pus to come out. Where there is a “crop” of boils or a carbuncle (a large swelling or lumps with a num ber of openings), no “home” treat ment should be at tempted and a phy sician should be consulted. Howev er, when boils oc cur from time to time the underlying cause or causes should be sought. Treatment directed toward the removal of these underlying causes usually results in success. Remove Sources of Friction. “It consists of the removal of local sources of friction—collars, clothing, the removal of substances obstructing the opening of the hair roots (dirt, oil, pimples), the treat ment of any infection — teeth, sinuses, the treatment of underly ing skin ailments, acne (pimples), dandruff, hives, eczema, itch and the treatment, when present, of too much sugar in the blood, anemia, undernourishment and the like. The thought then when boils occur from time to time is to try to find the cau^e among those mentioned above, arid then undergo treatment by ultra-violet or X-ray to improve the tone and infection-resisting abil ity of the skin. The eating of too much starch food—bread, potatoes, sweets—may greatly increase the sugar in the blood and be a factor in causing boils. • • • Varicose Vein Treatment Varies T"\ URING the examination of re- emits for the Great war any case with a marked degree of vari cose veins in the legs was rejected as being on the feet in the standing position for long periods would be sure to make the condition worse. The injection method was known, but not highly regarded at that time, and so if these men were very anx ious to proceed overseas they were sent to hospital, underwent opera tion, remained about three weeks in hospital, and were then put op “light duty” for about three months. Today more cases with varicose veins undergo the injection treat ment than operation because more thought is given to each case and only those cases that can expect satisfactory results either from in jection or operation are given treat ment. That is, each case is tested as to the ability of the deep-lying veins to do their work, should the large knotted and twisted veins on the outside be removed by injection or operation. Deeper Veins Draw Blood. After observing the condition of the veins as the patient walks about, a tourniquet — tight band — is put around the upper leg or thigh and the patient again walks around the room. Usually the veins do not stand out so prominently because the deeper veins not only do the work but seem to draw some of the blood out of the outer varicose veins. This is good evidence that should these outer varicose veins be removed the inner or deep veins can carry on the circulation properly. When the tight band makes no improvement in the appearance of the veins or when the veins stand out even worse, then it is not con sidered wise to destroy these outer veins either by the injection method or by surgery. When these veins are not very large or there are but a few of them simply injecting the veins with a hardening solution will destroy them. When veins are very promi nent it is often necessary to tie off the large veins, high up in the thigh, feeding the veins on the lower leg before the injections are made into these veins. • • * QUESTION BOX Q.—What causes hives?
