The murderer who came bound from St. Paul, impulsively started. bang into the impenetrable wall of the Rocky mountains. an Indian legend that there was a pass over the divide, along course of the Marias river. Mr. railroad, talked to about it. They knew all about it. the of tion. This Marias pass was dwelling place of evil spirits, their lives or their reason. Mr. Stevens mushed over the mountains with the thermome- ter at 50 degrees below zero and found no pass. But, by chance, he found a wanderer in the wil- derness, a Blackfoot driven out by his tribe because he had killed a man. The Indian had been having a difficult time. A few devils and monsters, more or less, meant little to him. They made a deal. The story of their days-on-end scramble to the roof of the continent through five feet of snow and bitter cold, with Mr. Stevens sleepless as he kept an eye on his homicidal guide, is one of the classics of the conquest of the wilderness. They found the pass, and their return was another desperate adventure. But soon the scream of locomotives was crying down the demons, who, presumably, moved on. When the Panama canal was pro- jected, John F. Stevens fought through, against weighty opposition, the lock principle against the sea- level plan. The engineer in charge, from 1905 until he was succeeded by General Goethals, he flattened all the demons of disease and dis- order which had licked De Lesseps. General Goethals rated his work as among the greatest of engineering achievements, He was minister plenipotentiary to the Soviets in 1917, remaining six years and re- organizing and rebuilding their rail- roads. seem ne R.

One can think offhand of a lot of vexing problems that might be tossed into its hopper these days. et, it ought to save a lot of money. Dr. Bush, former vice presi- dent of Massachusetts Institute of Technology, became presi- dent of the Carnegie institution on January 1 of this year. He is one of the most distinguished mathematical physicists in America. A tall, genial, bespec- tacled scientist, with a slightly stooped and somewhat stringy figure, with untamed hair, he leads reporters quite out of their depth. His metallic cerebration was just one of many of his in- teresting devices and discover- ies, including, particularly, re- search in the transmission of electric power, to which he has made notable contributions, The son of a distinguished Boston clergyman, he romped through Tufts, Harvard and M. I. T., picking up three degrees in three and one- half years, thereafter teaching at M 5 T On February 19, 1936, addressing the New York Patent Lawyers’ as- sociation, he was severely critical of the American patent system, for its “appalling fixity and lack of adaptability.” At the current com- mittee hearing, he commends it, but both meager news reports are out of their context, and Dr. Bush doubt- less could defend himself against charge of inconsistency. 0 Com tar wor ph. hd | a 4 pag Fir AS A proper approach to the per- that scon will be staged in countless households, we know of no gesture that at just glimpse of the new textiles their refreshing departure from the old, in the way of texture, pat- ternings and colorings, you will feel an urge stirring to cut and to baste and to sew. In this day and age when won- ders are being performed in the way of textures and weaves, it be- absolutely imperative that the woman who would sew success- fully must know materials. This is especially true in regard to wash fabrics that are a revelation as to what science is achieving in the way of non-shrinkage, color-fast-boil- proof tones and tints and in the way of weaves of entirely new origin. Consider for example the new spun rayon fabrics that are as lovely and exquisite in texture as imagination can conceive, When you ask to see these fas- cinating new spun rayons take note of their marvelous colorings that are so refreshingly different from the usual run. Many of the beauti- ful hues and motifs for design are traced to fine Chinese porcelains bloom pinks and cherry blossom reds. You'll love these new wash fabrics that are so handsome they really do not look like washables, that greatly enhances them from the practical standpoint. Some of the smartest washable crepes combine the newest fabric (spun rayon) with ve Ye 57 You can get these winsome spun rayon crepes in delectable mono- tones or in prints that are so lovely mere word pictures fail to describe them. On your fabric sight-seeing stylize a flight of snow white birds against a sky of peachbloom pink or a seashell motif on a lime green background and you will thus sense the charm and beauty of the new Spun rayon crepes. Softer to the touch than all wool, yet cozier than cotton by far is an imported material that looks like and feels like a million, yet it can be sent to wash with a carefree mind for the fabric has been san- forized-shrunk. See to the left in the picture a housecoat made of this new flannel (half wool, half cotton) which is lightweight as thistledown. This particular smart plaid fabric tailors to perfection. To the right in the illustration un- usual charm is expressed in a quaint dirndl dress of flowered cotton pop- lin—one of the dependable modern cottons in that it does not shrink out of fit when washed. It is trimmed with Czechoslovakian embroidery and buttons in authentic Czech de- sign. Wear it over shorts and cum- merbund when en route to active sports, or as a full-time daytime dress. Either way, it is perfect with its matching bonnet. You will find a bolero costume made of gingham (faithful standby) much to your liking. Why not enter it on your sewing list, for this two- piece is easy to make, so why not look up a reliable pattern and have it in readiness to wear this spring with dainty blouses? The model centered in the group is in blue and white check. The skirt is flared for fullness. The long-sleeved bolero jacket has wide revers and exposes cuffs of white pique caught with large mother-of-pearl links. Match- ing gingham trims the rough straw sailor hat she has in her hand. © Western Newspaper Union, Rebirth of Amber It's amber jewelry you will be wearing if you are up to the mo- ment in style. The revival of this familiar gem is important fashion news. The new amber jewelry re- veals untold beauties. The colors range from golden yellow to rich antique mahogany tones. The love- ly transparent quality of the stone is especially effective in the new floral designs. The leaves and fo- liage of many flowers are formed of delicately shaded or veined am- ber. In the picture a very up-to- date young woman enhances her gown with amber flower jewelry. Petticoat, Tiered Frocks Real News If you see a glimpse of lacy frou- frou peeping from under her neat little afternoon dress of silk crepe, do not make the mistake of saying “Pardon me lady, your petticoat is showing.” If you do milady is apt to airily reply, “Sure, that's the intention.” Yes'm it's only too true, petticoats are in fashion and further- more the so-termed petticoat dress that is causing so much excitement in fashion's realm is actually styled so as to reveal a tantalizing glimpse of its frill. program is the new flounced silhou- ette.

It came as a result of his refusal to play the lead in “Magnifi- cent Fraud.” Lloyd Nolan has formed the habit of stepping into the parts that Raft doesn’t want, so he did it this time. Last August, when Raft refused a role in “St. Louis Blues,” the same thing hap- pened. ancien To this desk came a touching sto- ry about a cocker spaniel named “Rudy,” given to Tommy Riggs by Rudy Vallee a year ago.

Men's Favor | By PATRICIA LINDSAY | EN loathe careless grooming. In fact I think that men are inclined to be more fastidious about us than we are about ourselves! That statement will probably bring me. Well anyway, men do like us sweet-smelling, tidy in our dress and noticeably well-groomed.

She needed a job and couldn't get one. “l am a secretary,” she said, “with eight years of experience here and there. I'm not keen about sec- retarial work, but I'll take any job. I simply have got to work! Yet ev- ery place 1 apply they more or less tell me they want a younger girl What shall I do?” Her plight is a common one to girls over 30 who, married or single, find it necessary to seek employ- ment this summer. When industry slackens, jobs become scarce and applicants for the jobs increase. It is quite obvious why the young- er girl is preferred. She asks a smaller salary, she is more easily trained to the work, she has no home ties to distract her during the day, and usually she is more attractive because she is about 10 years younger! All in all she is stiff | competition for the older girl If the girl who sought my ad- | vice had asked me for a job I would not have given her one. Why?
