/ L- i THE SUN, NEWBERRY. S. CL OCTOBER 24, 1941 npHE football scythe, 1941 model, will continue to be extremely busy during the next few Saturday afternoons. A few more teams from the upper ranks must drop into the list of the beaten before the season ends. Future upsets are to be expected. One of the favorite current debates concerns the tough est football schedule of the year. My vote goes to Coach Charles Bowsers’ Pittsburgh squad. Here is the Panther hookup—Purdue, Michigan, Minnesota, Duke, Ohio State, Fordham, Nebraska, Penn State and Carnegie Tech. The last named team is on the off side, but look over those first eight Pitts burgh games. I can’t find another schedule that calls for such opposition as Pitt must meet from Michigan, Minne sota, Duke, Fordham and Nebraska, without calling on the others, which are none too soft. Another Entry Considering the material at hand I’d say a good runner-up would be Dr. Mai Stevens and his group of Violets from N.Y.tJ. This year the Violets face Texas A. and M., Syra cuse, Holy Cross, Penn State, Mis souri, Tulane and Fordham. Tulane COACH CHARLES BOWSER and Fordham alone would make a a hard schedule for any normal squad. This menu is entirely too much for the material Mai Stevens has at hand. From now on it would be a fine day’s work for N.Y.U. to beat anyone of these opposing outfits. Bowl Scouts Busy The rush for bowl selections is already warming up, and the rival ry is keener than ever. Eight lead ing teams are needed for Pasadena, Dallas, New Orleans and Miami, and they want the best. The Pacific coast always has one fixed starter—her own conference champion. But the western delay In waiting for the final gaqae may cause trouble again, as so many leading candidates won’t hang around that long with other bowls pressing the issue. The Texans ar? hoping to keep their own conference champion hooked to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, where they can handle over 50,000 spectators at top prices. The Sugar Bowl, now able to accommodate 75,000 or more, would like to get the pick of the North and the South for New Orleans—Ala bama, Tulane or Duke, for example, against a Fordham or a Colgate. And Miami, with an increasing capacity, is just as keen to keep building up her big winter show. This means the Rose Bowl com mittee faces claimants ready to pluck six of the best teams in the field. The Rose Bowl rat of $100,000 is a golden lure, b*t many teams Invited to collect $00,000 or $70,000 don’t care to gamble on losing the lesser amounts. Which is sim ple enough to understand. Who They May Be It is entirely too early yet to have any bowl teams»line up. The West ern conference and Notre Dame are out. So is Navy and the Ivy league —two years ago Cornell would have been a terrific card. But the main candidates now, apart from the Pacific Coast con ference, are Alabama, Duke, Ten nessee, Tulane, Texas, Fordham, Colgate, Southern Methodist, Ne braska, and Oklahoma. To be beat en once is no bowl bar. Last season Fordham, Texas A. and M., Nebras ka and Georgetown—all bowl teams —had each suffered a defeat. Two defeats are usually the eliminating point. It isn’t certain that Duke would take on a bowl visit, unless WtJlace Wade changes his mind. • • • The two leading candidates from the North are Fordham and Col gate, which are not likely to be beaten twice, at any rate, and which are almost certain to have fine rec ords. Alabama and Tulane are excellent bowl prospects. They are two of the best. In tbe Southwest the bat tle 1 is always so bitter that few teams ever finish a spotless season, no matter how good they are. The competition is so keen in that sector that the job of winning them all is nearly always an impossible turn. Elegance and Refinement Are Apparent in Furred Costumes By CHERIE NICHOLAS 'T'HERE is a genuine feeling for elegance and refinement ex pressed throughout the fall and win ter fashion program that bespeaks the discriminating taste of best- dressed women. Among the signs that point to a definite movement toward distinctive apparel that car ries a message of “tone” and qual ity is the emphasis placed on luxury fabrics this season, on sumptuous furs, important-looking jewels and accessory accents that impart thor oughbred touches to the costume. Then, too, the revival of dress-up clothes for “after five” is noted this season. The street-length dinner dress is an important fashion which in turn brings back into the picture formal little early Victorian dinner hats to wear with them. The new long gloves add dignity and luxury. That there is a definite impor tance attached to richly fur- trimmed costumes was a fact em phasized when the Style Creators of Chicago presented a showing of rep resentative fall and winter modes recently, three of which appear in the accompanying illustration. These luxurious costume suits of wool have dresses that are jewel- studded at the top and have fur- trimmed jackets for added ele gance. Smart and distinctive is the fit ted three-quarter length cutaway bordered in fox shown to the left in the picture. Its matching dress has below-elbow sleeves, a tucked neckline and a huge clip of silver, turquoise and aquamarine. A clev erly styled pompadour hat of felt adds a convincing style touch. Amethyst-colored wool is the fab ric selection for the suit in the cen ter of the group. Its hip-length jacket is distinguished by a flatter ing collar of blue-dyed fox. The high draped turban is in two shades of amethyst. The fitted and bloused jacket of the soft brown wool suit shown to the right has a front of sable-dyed squir rel. An autumn brown felt hat with wide brim softly shirred and chou of green velvet tops this handsome outfit. A record-breaking season that will dramatize furs to the limit is in promise. Designers are using fur so intriguingly that only seeing is believing. Their efforts run in two distinct avenues of thought. One approach leads to the lavish use of fur as a trimming, as demon strated in the accompanying illus tration. The newest coats are en riched with tuxedo panels of fur, dresses have tunics heavily bor dered with fur, and there are at tractive appliques of flat fur. On the other hand, designers are playing up high drama in separate fur pieces. Muffs were never so huge and, as if to stress this fact, hats in matching fur are often so tiny they look like topknots perched on pompadours or thrust at a dan gerous angle over the forehead. However, milliners are seeing to it that there are fitted snoods at the back or other contrivances that in sure firm anchorage to the head. Nor are all fur hats tiny, for one of the smartest hat fashions this season is the wide brim that is fur-faced. All sorts of fur neckpieces are made of fur, the latest bit of fashion gossip centering about the new stole effects. Some of them are like capelet scarfs. Other fur fantasies include fur-cuffed gloves, huge bows of fur to wear at the throat, shoe orna ments, bracelets with dangles of fur, corsages ‘of fur flowers, and fur motifs to applique. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Jewels on Wool A button craze is on. Designers are working overtime devising ways to “show off” buttons. Fashion even has a surprise for your tailored wool suit,—jeweled buttons! It’s this kind of ingenuity that keeps things in teresting. From the American cou ture series by “la Mode,” come the buttons of vari-colored jewels that march in double rank and file up and down the jacket of this smart suit, climaxed by a matching spray lapel pin. You will find these jewel ry - and - button ensembles equally fascinating on tailored and dress maker suits. So brighten up that dark sheer wool, or make that gaudy plaid even more enchanting with buttons, but tons and morn buttons! All That Glitters Is Right in Style Everything in the way of hats, dresses, suits and accessories glit ters this season. You do not hava to stop and wonder if this glittering touch or that will be in good taste. It is good taste, according to fash ion’s decree. The embroideries massed on evening fashions are mas terpieces of needlework. The jet ac cents on day frocks, be they simple wool or regal velvet, are every where. Nailheads are no respecters of fabrics. They glitter on suits and on elaborate dress gowns alike. Black frocks are being illumined with plashes of gay beadwork and embroidery. And the latest is bright red, green or vivid blue sleeves, lavishly embroidered. Hats, too, come in for their share of glitter. Some are' of fur encrusted with gay sequins. Dressy Afternoon Suits Of Velvet or Rich Silk The" trend toward gentlewoman fashions is reflected in the new aft ernoon suits displayed in current costume collections. You will still wear tweeds for morning and about town, but for afternoons you will be wanting a suit in black, brown or deep jewel-colored velvet. If you prefer, you can choose a suit of elegant moire silk. Most of the suits have jackets with flaring peplums. Match Them Match your petunia-colored gloves With stockings in identical hue. Give your simple black dress a dashing fillip with these accessories. Top it with a little jet dinner hat— that’s fashion’s way of doing it this season. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Wes‘«rn Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 26 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY RE GARDING BEVERAGE ALCOHOL LESSON TEXT—Deuteronomy 5:32, 33; 11:26-28: Isaiah 28:1-6: Habakkuk 2:12. GOLDEN TEXT—Righteousness exalteth a naUon: but sin is a reproach to any people.—Proverbs 14:34. Legal approval of the sale of alco holic beverages has largely taken the matter out of the hands of the home and the church and has made liquor a civic problem. That, of course, does not provide us with a convenient excuse for evading our personal responsibility, for the na tion is made up of you and me, of your home and mine, of your church and mine. We must share the na tion’s responsibility gladly and ac tively if we are to be worthy of our citizenship. Especially is that true of the Christian, for he sees the spiritual and moral implications of the matter, and he also knows what to do about it. I. “Righteousness Exalteth a Na tion; but Sin Is a Reproach to Any People” (Deut. 5:32-33; 11:26-28). That may sound a bit old-fashioned and it may appear that men have abrogated that principle, but if we wait a bit we shall see that it still works. 1. Righteousness Brings Blessing (Deut. 5:32, 33; 11:26, 27). In this callous and indifferent generation we need to repeat with emphasis the fact that there is laid down in the very constitution of the universe a moral distinction between right and wrong. Right is always right and wrong is always wrong. The book of Deuteronomy presents the fundamental laws of God. In this fifth chapter there is a review of many of these laws and a practi cal appeal for obedience. It is point ed out that the way of liberty in the walk of life is to turn neither to the extreme of legal bondage nor to the opposite extreme of human license, but to “walk in all the ways which the Lord your God hath commanded you.” Walking in His ways brings all the blessings of Deuteronomy 5:33, a promise which is repeated in 11:27. 2. Unrighteousness Brings Judg ment (Deut. 11:28). Turning aside from God’s ways must bring upon man His curse. It is no light mat ter to be under God’s disapproval. We who know how much the approv al or disapproval of frail human be ings around us may mean, should consider what it means in the life of a man (or of a nation) to have the eternal, omnipresent and omnipo tent God against him. Then what about a people which countenances the manufacture and the sale of intoxicants, which they well know bring about wickedness and vice which can only call for the judgment of God. Many believe that the great war in which the world is embroiled is simply God’s judgment upon the nations (including England and America) because they have turned aside from His holy ways. That means that the most effective way to stop the conflict is national penitence and prayer. Why not be lieve and practice II Chronicles 7:14? II. Civic Greatness Cannot Be Built on Sin and Oppression (Isa. 28:1-6; Hab. 2:12). Yes, that sounds old-fashioned too! The theory of today seems to be that the road to greatness is by way of disregard of God’s laws, and by the application of the mailed fist of cruel conquest. But let us remem ber that others have tried the same violation of God’s law, and let us recall what happened to them. Did you ever hear of Napoleon?—of Al exander the Great?—of the “glory that was Greece”?—and the world conquering power of ancient Rome? Modern military leaders could well afford to spend less time on their books of strategy and their war maps and more time reading the Bi ble and the pages of history. 1. Drunkenness and National De cay Go Together (Isa. 28:1-6). The leaders of Israel (Ephraim) lingered long over their wine bowls as they spoke with pride of their nation, and especially of Samaria, its crown. It was a city beautifully situated on a hillside surrounded by a fertile terraced hillside. Does not that all have a vaguely familiar sound? A great nation of our day which now lies in bondage to its neighbor dictator not long ago spoke with pride of its attainments and its security, while (according to the testimony of its own leaders) the use of intoxicants went on apace, even in the army. 2. Permanent Power Cannot Be Built cn Oppression (Hab. 2:12). Here again history reveals the cor rectness of Scripture. Many a na tion has sought to find its “place in the sun” by building with the blood of its vanquished enemies. It has never worked, and it will fail now just as it has in the past. What about the city, state, or na tion that attempts to promote its own growth out of the taxes on liq uor and its sale? SOWING CIRCLE YyE ARE never too young to * ' appreciate a pretty frock.

As might he expected since Camel cigarettes are America’s favorite, the induction into service of thousands of selectees and vol unteers has only emphasized the service man’s preference for Cam els. Actual sales records from serv ice stores show Camel is the fa vorite with men in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. Prince Albert is another big fa vorite with men in camp or on ships. Since service men nave in dicated in all surveys to date that tobacco ranks first in the gift line up with them, it is natural that local tobacco dealers are featur ing cartons of Camels and pound tins of Prince Albert as ideal gifts for the men in the service from the folks back home.—Adv.
