HYDE PARK’S ACTIVITY
HYDE PARK.—My days were de
cidedly peaceful in Hyde Park
though full of activity from the point
of view of doing things with the chil
dren, swimming and playing games.
There is a real touch of autumn in
the air. Around the pond, the pur
ple weed has turned to a faint red
dish tinge. Here and there some
scarlet leaves are showing on the
swamp maples.
Though I imagine we shall have
some warm weather before autumn
really sets in, I still look at every
meal out of doors as an added bless
ing before the cold weather makes it
impossible.
Some of us attended the Roosevelt
Home club dance at the town hall
in the village one night. We all
took part in a very active Virginia
reei, and I envied my young niece,
Amy Roosevelt’s ease and grace.

LAST CORREGIDOR MESSAGE
One afternoon I went to the annual
Roosevelt Home club party. We all
listened to a r«cording made by the
war department of the last message
sent from the Fortress of Corregi-
dor. The mother of the boy who
sent it was in the audience and she
came to the rostrum to say a few
words.
She has heard nothing from her
boy and the best she can hope is
that he is a prisoner and can sur
vive under whatever conditions to
which he is subjected. Very simply,
she said she had attended these
gatherings for three years. Last
year we were at peace and she
prayed that we might remain at
peace, but now she prays daily that
the next year we may return to
peace. Her other boy is on the coast
of the state of Washington some
where near Seattle, which must give
her a feeling of being bereft at
home.

STUDENT ASSEMBLY
WASHINGTON.—Since my return
from Hyde Park I have had the
pleasure of meeting four young Brit
ish delegates to the International
Student Service assembly. One of
them, Wing-Commander Scott-Wal-
den, was decorated for his part in
the Dieppe raid. Another, a very
young Scotchman, Captain Cochran,
has returned recently from Libya.
There is a young naval officer,
Lieut. Richard Miles, and a young
minister, the Rev. Allan Booth.
They were an interesting group to
talk with. We drove around the Lin
coln Memorial one night to show
them the statue, which I think is
at its best with the lights on it at
night. They were deeply impressed.
Today I hope to meet the Dutch
delegation, which is arriving, and
to have the delegation from the
USSR dine with me, for I was away
when they arrived.

MAGNIFICENT SPIRIT
In the course of the last few days,
I have had a number of letters about
boys in the service. One gentleman
from Trenton, Mo., encloses a clip
ping quoting a letter ftom his boy
who has just received a commission
as a lieutenant in the army. “I feel
that it is man’s greatest privOege to
be called upon to serve his country
in time of war, and I am going to
give all I have.”
How magnificent these boys are.
Let us hope that this spirit will carry
them to victory and they will con
tinue to give “all they have” in
serving their country in time of
peace.
Another gentleman from Toledo,
Ohio, tells me of a naval training
school which has been started at
the Naval armory, and which is at
tended largely by boys of 16 and 17.
He is particularly proud of the
youngsters of that age who enlist.
I question the advisability of such
early enlistments and feel more and
more every day that our young men
should wait for their draft boards to
call them, but I realize that these
boys are moved by a spirit of
patriotism and service which should
awaken in us a humble desire to do
all we can in return.

SYRIAN LECTURE
One day, a young Syrian, Mr.
Salom Rizk, who has been speak
ing under the auspices of a maga
zine to various groups of young peo
ple in schools and colleges through
out the country, came to see me.
I can well understand that his life
story would make his lectures inter
esting.
He was born in the mountains of
Syria and, as a young man, came
to a Middle Western city in the
United States. He was an American
citizen, but had to learn the mean
ing of America and suffered much
before he became a citizen.

FASCINATING STORY
The other night I read a play by
Seldon Rodman called “The Revolu
tionists.” It deals with the always
fascinating story of Toussaint
L’Ouverture and Henry Christophe.
The President has always spoken of
this episode in history and the
extraordinary citadel Toussaint
L’Ouverture built in Haiti, the ruins
of which still exist. This play is
good reading and I shall be interest
ed to see it acted. These two men
were great and more people should
know their story.
Wide Wale Corduroy Is Given
New Importance by Designers
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
YITATCH corduroys as they take
’the lead in the fashion parade
this fall. As front page fabric news
corduroy is “it” this season and no
mistake. Ask any college-bound
girl. She knows!
Not only are campus enthusiasts
“rushing” corduroy for all it is
worth, but though the season is yet
young this material is proving so
much of an out-and-out choice the
fabric sections are booking orders
one fast following after another.
To be sure, the fact that corduroy
is free from priority rulings is in
itself a sufficient reason why en
thusiasm for it is running high.
However, seeing the stunning coats
and suits designers are turning out
made of corduroy puts an irresist
ible desire in one to acquire a whole
wardrobe of corduroys. The amaz
ing adaptability of corduroy to all
phases of fashion is enough to in
spire one to do just that. Certainly
corduroy serves as an all-purpose
fabric with amazing versatility. You
can find in the shops everything
from slacks to the smartest sort
of town suits and stunning topcoats
to satisfy the most exacting and dis
criminating taste.
Wide wale corduroy is the impor
tant news in stylish corduroys this
season. The new wide wales are
making such a dramatic and spec
tacular appearance in all costume
collections you can find everything
from knee-length shorts outfits to
daytime boxy jackets and coats
that are so craftily styled they real
ly out-style everything in corduroy
that has gone before.
A tailored suit of wide wale cor
duroy of the hollow-cut velveteen
type as pictured lb the right in the
above illustration is a prize posses
sion to include in a 1942 collegian’s
wardrobe. It’s the suit of a hundred
uses, dressy enough to wear to facul
ty teas, sturdy enough to wear to
class, of a weight that is comfort
able for spring (looking ahead) and
just-right for fall wear. For
town wear add a casual hand-
crocheted chenille hat (note its tow
ering tall crown) and handsewn
double-woven cotton gloves.
Off to town for a big week-end the
young lady shown centered in the
above illustration chooses to wear
a hollow-cut velveteen coat, for it’s
going to look ever so smart when she
goes tea dancing or to the matinee
with her soldier. This corduroy vel
veteen is not only glamorous, but,
being cotton and sturdy, it has plen
ty of common sense back of it.
The fingertip coat pictured to the
left will prove a friend indeed come
rain or storm. Here is an outfit
that shows judgment, common sense
and high fashion instinct combined.
This two-piece which mounts a re
versible corduroy-lined coat over a
corduroy skirt is typical of what
college girls will be wearing this
fall.
They will also be lounging infor
mally or playing hard in corduroy
slacks and in culottes made of cor
duroy. The favorite color in cordu
roy is a rich beige. College girls
also like coats made of bright red
corduroy, and forest green corduroy
lined with quilted red cotton is an
other college favorite.

Gabardine Jumper
Keeping close watch on the clothes
preferences of women as they lead
a life packed to the brim with ac
tivity, designers have laid much
stress on practical clothes. The
present revival of the jumper dress
as a smart and much-needed fash
ion is recognized in the practical
outfit pictured above—a model dis
played at the Merchandise Mart of
Chicago at an advance showing of
fall styles. It is made of red gabar
dine, will wash and is altogether
practical. Its gay color classes it
as right up to the minute.
Lace Blouse
Dressy afternoon styles place em
phasis on the velvet suit worn with
a blouse fashioned of lace. This is
a fashion that is destined to become
of outstanding importance as the
social season gets into swing.
Lace Adds a Touch
Of Feminine Charm
For memorable evenings what
better choice than lace—that lovely
non-priority charmer that makes
women appear at their loveliest.
Lace is being partnered with fabric
and other media in effective ways.
Especially new is the dress that has
a full lace skirt topped with a fit
ted long-torso bodice of black vel
vet. It is the sort of gown you will
want to wear for your man in serv
ice who wants you to look pretty
and feminine.
The emphasis placed on dressy
formal afternoon suits is in a call
for lovely blouses of feminine type
made of dainty lace. Three richly
jeweled buttons add to the gracious
attractiveness of a brocaded cot
ton lace charmer that is warrant
ed to add distinction to winter suits.
The lace is an exclusive heavily
corded pattern, and with lace on
the non-priority list one can feel
well dressed and patriotic at the
same time.
Gloves, Hat, Shoes and
Bag All Dyed in One Vat
Hats, gloves, bag, shoes in fine doe
skin dyed in one vat have been made
possible through the teamwork of
those who are working together to
achieve a new color formula for
smart accessories.
Your gown is smart black and
your accessories are carried out in
a vivid one-color technique. There
is a new red that is wonderfully ef
fective for monotone accessory en
sembles. Green is a favorite, also,
and the new fuchsia shades are stun
ning with black.
Black Velvet
The black dress sleeved in black
velvet with a huge bow of black
velvet at the waistline of the wrap
around skirt is very distinguished.
Coats of the dressy type are also
trimmed with black velvet.

Forgotten ‘Savior’
' I 'HE 200th anniversary of an im-
portant event in American his
tory passed almost unnoticed recent
ly—at least, so far as any national
observance of it was concerned. It
was the Battle of Bloody Marsh,
fought near St. Simon’s, Ga., on
July 7, 1742, and this fight was, ac
cording to historians, “one of the
small number of decisive battles of
ail time.”
When it ended in victory for the
English colonists of Georgia it
meant that the English, instead of
the Spanish, should rule over what
is now the southern part of the Unit
ed States. For, had the Spaniards
won that battle, English coloniza
tion in North America migh* have
stopped at Virginia and our South
ern states might now be a part of
Mexico.
Not only is Bloody Marsh a “for
gotten victory,” but tne man who
won it is also something of a “for
gotten hero.” True, most Americans
remember Gen. James Oglethorpe
as the founder of the colony which
became the state of Georgia. But
few, if any of them, know of all his
rights to fame, including the mili
tary genius which won that decisive
victory 200 years ago.
His colony served as a buffer state
between the Carolinas, the southern
most English colonies, and the Span
ish settlement at St. Augustine in
Florida. Among the Georgia colo
nists was a party of Scottish High
landers who settled on St. Simon’s
island in 1735, established the town
of Frederica and built a fort which
was the British outpost nearest New
Spain. Its strategic value was ap
parent to Gen. Oglethorpe, whose
career as a soldier had begun at
the age of 18 when he served under
Prince Eugene against the Turks.
At 19, upon the recommendation of
the great Marlborough, he had been
GEN. JAMES OGLETHORPE
appointed aide-de-camp to the prince
and had served brilliantly during
the siege and capture of Belgrade.
Then he gave up his military ca
reer to become a member of parlia
ment and to begin his philanthropic
labors which led to the founding of
the colony of Georgia in 1733.
However, he had learned his mili
tary lessons well and when England
and Spain went to war in 1739, he
immediately led an expedition
against Florida. He succeeded in
capturing several Spanish outposts
but failed to take St. Augustine.
The Spaniards retaliated by attack
ing St. Simon’s island but under
Oglethorpe’s leadership the tough
Highlanders beat off the attack.
The next year Oglethorpe again
descended upon Florida and drove
.the Spaniards within the defenses of
St. Augustine, but did not have a
force strong enough to capture the
city. There was a lull in hostilities
for the next two years. Then Ogle
thorpe attacked St. Augustine again
but after a brief siege withdrew in
such a manner as to trick the Span
iards into counterattacking.
They assembled an armada of 50
ships and set out for another assault
on the English stronghold on St.
Simon’s island. Landing there, they
were confronted by Oglethofpe’s lit
tle army which fought a delaying
action until the thistles which cov
ered the island were at their prickli
est stage, thus slowing down the
barefoot Spanish soldiers who out
numbered the English seven to one.
Oglethorpe maneuvered the enemy
into fighting on ground of his own
choosing, allowing them to push for
ward toward the fort along the edge
of a marsh over a trail that was
so narrow that the Spaniards had
to advance in single file.
Then Oglethorpe launched his at
tack and cut the attackers to pieces.
When the Spanish leader brought up
reinforcements to cover his retreat,
Oglethorpe ambushed these forces
and the Spanish invasion ended in a
complete rout.
This campaign proved that Ogle
thorpe was a great soldier. But he
was also, according to one historian,
“a great administrator, a great phi
lanthropist, who instituted and su
pervised a colony for poor debtors,
taking no salary, profits, perqui
sites or land; a great reformer; a
great artist and a great Christian
gentleman. As administrator, he
founded the 13th state and ruled
with justice and humanity the di
verse elements which composed it;
English debtors, Austrian religious
refugees, Scottish Highlanders, In
dians and Negroes.

Lynn Says:
Preserving Food: Eat and can
whatever you can from your Vic
tory garden. But you still may
have some left, you say?
There are several methods to
take care of the surplus. First,
investigate to see whether your
community has one of those stor
age lockers where you can rent
space in the freezing locker.
Cleanliness and speed are impor
tant factors in this type of stor
age. Food must be well select
ed to warrant the expense of this
type of preserving.
Drying at home is another ex
cellent way and one of the oldest
methods available. Driers can
be bought for a reasonable sum
and used to advantage for drying
and storing fruits and vegetables.
Other foods such as root vege
tables, pumpkins and squash have
good keeping qualities if stored
in their natural state under well
regulated temperatures such as
in attic or cellar. Dried beans,
peas and cured onions may be
stored in an attic. Squash and
pumpkins require a relatively
warm place with free circulation
of air.
