A GLANCE AT CIVILIZATION REVEALS...
Jackpot Question: What's the World Coming To?
...CONFUSION, FEAR, HYSTERIA, DESPAIR
By H. I. PHILLIPS
WOMAN'S WORLD
A GLANCE AT THE GLOBE
The world is in queer shape.
Everywhere civilization is wishing
it could find a cure for its savagery.
Confusion and fear are running
neck and neck with hysteria and
despair. Half the world is looking
for trouble and the other half acts
as if afraid there won’t be enough
to go around.
♦
People have always been called
different from animals in that they
were rational beings. But the ani
mals appear to be outsmarting us.
For centuries man seemed to be
“tfme See a Mm”
C OME set a man," the Nazareth lads would
say.
And peering through an old shop's open
door.
Would watch One swing an adz, see muscles play
Like ripphng Steel, and mark along the floor
Huge timbers that a driven saw and plane
Had smoothed and pohshed to its bright clear grain.
“Come see a man,” the word ran like a fire
Down every Street and every crooked lane.
And throngs besought Him, wild with their desire
To rid themselves of agonizing pain.
“Come see a man whose power is Strange, and such,
His hands alone can heal men with its touch."
Samaria, and noon above the land—
A flushed-cheeked woman, hurrying to tell.
With Strange excited voice and lifted hand.
Of One who waited by an andent well.
"Come see a man who told me everything.... *
Surely this is our long awaired King!
"Come see a man," the cry Still rings today,
"Who knows no fear at all, so brave is He."
So Strong and clean. He went His quiet way
To climb at last the hill called Calvary, I
There to be lifted that a whole world might
Be drawn to Him: its Saviour jad its Light-*.

Clever Accessories Highlight
: eatures in Your Ensembles
By Eitta Haley
I F YOU’RE the kind of a woman
who doesn’t know what it’s like
to wear a dress because you go
from one season to the next In a
suit, fashion is all on your side.
Your suit may be elegant and
perfectly tailored. It may need
little in the way of dressing up for
many occasions. However, if you
do wear a suit for almost every
thing, there are many fashion-wise
touches which can help dress it up
or down to be most suitable for the
occasion.
Some women like to leave their
suits strictly alone, and use ac
cessories elsewhere. Do it with a
frothy veiled hat or one bedecked
with flowers. Both of these types
are flattering for making the tai
lored suit acceptable for the dres
sier occasions.
Another way te do it is with a
blouse. For most times you can
wear the trim and tailored blouses,
but for other occasions, choose ny
lon, sheer; net or organdie with a
fresh froth of lace or ruffles. Try
another color, too, in the blouse, and
see if you arentt really refreshed
Fiction SOMETHING OF VALUE
Corner
By
ANNA t WILSON
T HE PORCH was broad and
sunny, and Elsie placed the big
chair where Dad could see the
people passing and look across into
Barnes grocery store.
“You see, Dad,” she said cheer
fully, “you’ll be happy here in the
sunlight, and you can watch what
goes on over there in the store —
it’ll be no time at all until you for
get about the shop — Goodness
knows, a man who’s worked until
he’s sixty-five years old has earned
a rest.”
Dad sank back In the chair and
sighed wistfully. “I know, Elsie,
and the company
was real nice. Mr.
3 -Minute TwUinger p r e-
Fietian sent ed me with a
Nciion watch and said
they were real
sorry about my eyes, and hated to
let me go. Watch making is such
fine work and," Dad finished care
fully, “there was no other place
open in the shop where they could
work me in. Mr. Twilinger ex
plained about it all before I came
away.”
“Yes," Dad tried to settle him
self uneasily, "but sitting here isn’t
going to help pay for this house, and
I did hope to see you settled in a
home of your own before I died.”
He was glad when Mrs. Frisby
stopped to talk. She was gossipy
and friendly and liked a chat.
“Glad to see you taking a rest at
last. Dad. Goodness knows, it was
time. I see you’ve been looking at
the sketch for the new Memorial.
Isn’t it wonderful that a great artist
like Mr. Bonelli’s been engaged for
the job. They say he’s been asking
for medals to copy on the figures
of the war veterans and I’m hurry
ing right down with this one of
^Willie’s.
Dad stared at the sketch of the
Memorial, thinking of what Mrs.
Frisby had said. Something of
value. Dad went over all his meager
possessions and they weren’t much.
Just his clothes, fieat and clean, the
watch Mr. Twilinger had given him
and that old coin.
Dad was confused by the noise
and bustle when he entered Mr.
Bonelli’s studio, but Mr. Bonelli
smiled at Dad and took him into a
little office in the rear.
‘It’s about a coin,” said he hum
bly, and took out his lucky piece.
“Where did you get it, and why
do you want to sell it. Dad.”
It was easy to talk to Mr. Bonelli,
and Dad explained about his home
and Elsie.
T HE ARTIST sighed — “It might
have been valuable once, but
it's too defaced now for restoration
—I’m sorry,” he looked as if he
really was.” I wish I could tell you
that it’s worth something but I’m
afraid it’s not.’
Dad thanked him, but as he got
up to go, Mr. Bonelli spoke.
“I have a friend coming toinor-
row and if you drop in you can talk
it over with him.’
All afternoon Dad polished the
coin and when he went down to the
studio in the morning the metal in
the coin shone.
Mr. Bonelli was talking to an
other man, when he saw Dad he
beckoned him in. Dad took out the
coin and the stranger glanced at it,
but he was really looking at Dad.
Dad in his neat worn clothes, was
worth looking at. He had lived a
good life and all this good living'
showed in his wrinkled face and
clean blue eyes. Mr. Bonelli’s own
eyes twinkled.
“We find yon have something
of value. Dad, after all,” he
said softly.
"The coin was worthless,” he
continuSd. “We want to use you as
a model for one of the figures on
our Memorial. We want to employ
you in the studio to keep track of
valuables loaned to us. Mr. Twilin
ger says we couldn’t get a better
man. The pay is good, well over
five hundred dollars for the year’s
work," he said gently. “You see.
Dad, the thing you have of value is
yourself. You’ve been a good citizen
and it shines—right in your face."

White enameled jev'elry ip many
different designs is also popular
for the season. The suits, as well
as the white print-on-dark-back-
grocttid dresses, are just made for
this type of jewelry.
Several strands of beads are
still being worn with many of the
suits. Some of these are neck-hug
ging while others are long enough
to be tied in a large loop a few
Inches below the neck.
Neckline decorations as well as
earrings are increasingly impor

There never has been a sea

were so popular. The reason is
the great beauty of the fabric
and the way It takes so exqui

are examples of the increasing
ly popular trend toward asym
metrical lines which involve
consummate artistry in design
as well as skill in execution.
For this type of suit, skirts are
always slender, long and
■lashed. The total effect is a
youthful silhouette coupled with
extraordinary smartness.
/ou Build It
This two-piece suit with the
look of a coat dress comes from
the spring collection of a New
York designer. It boasts a
snug, waist-length jacket, but
toned down the front in line
with the fastening of the skirt,
and moulds the shoulders in a
beautiful, rounded line. A wine
taffeta scarf contrasts with the
grey worsted, making the suit.
colored gloves for all occasions.
No wardrobe has too many pairs
of white gloves, which incidentally
are of first fashion importance this
season. Since American-made
leather gloves are washable, they’re
practical as well as pretty acces
sories.
For casual wear, there are white
and natural colored chamois. White
pigskin has taken on a new look of
slim styling that makes it ideal
with the new suits. Because of
their special inseam construction,
they may also be used for dress
wear.
Scatter pins are seen, not only
on the suits which I mentioned,
but also on white doeskin or glace
gloves to dress them up. Buttons
and bows are keynotes in styling,
too, as are the appearance of em
broidery, tassels and openwork on
the gloves.
For cool comfort during spring
and summer, shorties are the fa
vored length, with really long
gloves still holding their own for
wear on very formal evenings.
The flowers that bloom have
nothing on gloves when it comes to
color. Glove shades range from
delicate pastels to rich, vibrant
tones. Among the most popular
are Bristol blue, clove pink, fawn,
sun bronze, carib green, rose lus
tre, cherry pink and South Sea
violet. Colors can be worn with a
dark costume or may harmonize
with the apparel shades. They
don’t have to match.
Navy Favored
For Shoes
Beautiful navy calf has been one
of the important color and ma
terial combinations in the shoe pic
ture so far. However, if you pre
fer brown or black calf, many of
these are shown.
As you know, suede is no longer
just for winter. There are suedes
for spring and summer, too, and
many women like these for their
softness.
Shoes still show very high heels
and platforms, especially for the
small girls. Buttons are still high
lighted, straps and ornate cuttings
on the novelty shoes are seen ex
tensively.
Polka dotted shoes with bags to
match are seen as something very
new for the shoe fashion picture
this summer. These are meant to
compliment the dark solid colored
dresses and suits.
Parses are Neat,
Compact, bat Roomy
One of the nicest bags seen re
cently is a three-in-one purse. The
basic bag is black faille, or other
colors from which you may choose.
Over this fits a cover made of
vinylite plastic, simply by snapping
to the top of the bag. One side is
white, while the other is black pat
ent. Any of the sides is perfect for
summer, and you can actually
change your bag in a few seconds
if you tire of one side or another.
Most of the bags seen are very
nfeat and compact. Even if the bag
is larger than the usual pouch type
It still carries with it an air of
neatness.
For casual wear you may want
one of the basket bags which are
roomy and sturdy. The lower part
of the bag is made of woven straw,
while the top, including the handle
that goes over the wrist is made of
faille or an other durable materiaL
Bag prices are lower now than
they have been for several seasons,
and styling and fabrics are all that
could be desired.

The newspaper publisher in the

unique methods of stirring up
reader interest in his weekly
newspaper. One trick was to mis
spell words.
Recently a local subscriber

“Tut, tut,” replied Sam calmly.

Plausible Legend of
Chopstick Origin
The origin of chopsticks—those

the Chinese and Japanese use so
skillfully—is lost in antiquity.
According to one popular leg
end, once upon a time an ancient
emperor ct China, fearing an up
rising or possible attempt on his
life, passed a law forbidding any
one to use or possess utensils or
instruments made of metal. Even
in that legendary era, the Chinese
disliked eating with their fingers
—so some ingenious fellow in
vented chopsticks and, just as defi
nite rules of etiquette govern the
correct use of our table cutlery,
definite mannerisms denote polite
use of chopsticks.
