' j j draping and intriguing shirring. , yf - J The attractive dress to the left In ' S I 4 J the picture is of smooth. dark 8ilk jersey. Although it has been elab-orately draped and shirred, the slen-der silhouette has been in no respect sacrificed. If you haven't a silk jersey (preferably black) daytime dress in your collection you are los-ing out on a lot of pleasure and com-fort. Choose dark or black jersey for practical afternoon wear and for your loveliest formal let it be of white silk jersey sculpturally draped, adding gold accents to make it su-premely beautiful. A draped and shirred green silk crepe luncheon dress, designed for the new corseted lady, is shown to the right. It speaks eloquently in favor of fabric treatment. Note the self fabric pleated ruffle on the bod-ice, the wide corselet belt and other fetching styling details. Centered in the trio is a striking evening ensemble developed of handsome silk white faille, for faille, such as our grandmothers treasured, is again a favorite silk. Note the brief peplum that flares from the new lowered waistline of the basque jacket. The novel square buttons are of outstanding style importance. It's fortunate you'll be if you have stored away among heirlooms some of the gorgeous jeweled buttons that once were fashionable and are so again. Glorify your evening coat with these buttons or your blouse or your "bestest" afternoon dress. In conclusion just a word about the stunning jacket tailored suits that are made of black bengaline silk or faille. These silk classics register among the topnotch fash-ions of the day. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) WHAT was good enough for our - great - grandmamas should be equally as good for us. Some such thought must have moti-vated the minds of our modern fab-ricis- ts when they announced for fall and winter 1939-194- 0 a revival of the quality-kin- d silks such as were the pride and the joy of our ancestresses. Call them heirloom silks if you will, for some of the silk weaves so chic and so fabric-fin- e that are considered high-styl- e today but tell the story ovep again of sterling-wort- h bengalines, failles; likewise traditional ottoman silks and grosgrains, also stand-alon- e moires and taffetas that make music with their rustle of real honest-to-goodne-silk. When you come to analyze the present situation, the in current fashion of the elegant "lovely lady" fashions so charac-teristic of the early Victorian and Edwardian periods, we of this gen-eration just naturally have to think in terms of fabric elegance. The idea that prevails this season Is fabric elegance for dresses styled with utmost simplicity, de-pending on accessories for dash and allure. High value is put on skillful fabric treatment in drapes, shirr-ing- s, pleating and self-fabri- c details. It is a very group we present in the illustration here-with. A great favorite with French designers is pure silk jersey which they say, and they prove it in the lovely creations they turn out, has no peer when it comes to sculptural WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS BY JOSEPH W.

Released by Western Newspaper Union. , T ' , k i " W few"' , I f j AGRICULTURE: Cotton and Wheat Three items made news for cot-ton and wheat farmers as November got underway: (1) With 10,100,000 bales of sur-plus cotton stored under govern-ment loan, and with an 11,845,000-bal- e crop (slightly less than 1938) forecast for this year, the agricul-ture department announced loans based at 8.3 cents a pound on seven-eighth-s inch middlings would be available to 1939 growers who plant-ed within their acreage allotments. A week earlier the loan program seemed stymied by increased cot-ton consumption thanks to the war, (2) The bureau of agricultural economics forecast the same wheat acreage for 1940 as for 1939, L , 64,600,000 acres, which would pro-duce about 760,000,000 bushels of spring and winter wheat. But next year's yield will be under par un-less unusually favorable weather comes along. Reason: Drouth has already damaged much seeded win-ter wheat beyond recovery. (3) Closing its first year, the fed-eral crop insurance corporation was sad. Having taken 6.7G9.120 bush-els of wheat as premiums from 165,-55- 1 farmers, the corporation had claims from one-fourt- h its custo-mers. . Indemnities paid, totaling 9,461,730 bushels, brought a loss of about $1,885,000. RUSSIA: Unhappy Birthday Twenty-tw- o years ago a bloody revolution gave birth to the U. S. S. R.

TRADE & INDUSTRY Repeal of the U. S. arms embargo, which keeps American ships out of combat zones and allows belligerents "cash and carry" rights, not only set olT a partial business boom at home but also brought major reper-cussions in world diplomatic, trade and maritime circles. A survey by the Northwestern National Life In-surance company showed luxury and semi-luxur- y goods began mov-ing swiftly In September, but Fed-eral Works Administrator John Car-mod- y spiked any boom hopes: Only 500,000 of the 9,000,000 unemployed can expect new jobs. There was cautious expansion In U. S. Industry, where building awards for October totaled $49,910,-00- 0 against $12,814,000 a year ago. Many firms announced stock divi-dends payable In December. Rail-roads, which coupled their expan-sion with a plea that they might be permitted to operate without govern-ment interference in times of emer-cenc- y. were offered a new recovery Finance corporation. The government restricted foreign commerce in some quarters and ex-panded it in others. Approved was a new reciprocal trade pact with Venezuela, "freezing" tariff sched-ules on exports of wheat flour, oat-meal, lard and lumber. In return, the U. S. will reduce import taxes 50 per cent on Venezuelan crude petroleum. Meanwhile, an squabble flared over the U. S. maritime commission's transfer of more than 40 ships to foreign regis-try as a means of avoiding the ban on American shipping in belligerent zones. Secretary of State Cordcll Hull objected, not because the step was illegal, but because it would violate the Integrity and spirit of the neutrality law. Commented Maritime Commissioner Max O'Rell Truitt. "I don't see any element of a dodge at all; I think it's a com-pletely sound, bona fide situation all around." President Roosevelt final-ly decided against the transfer, promising to change his mind later if tension eased. Meanwhile, C. I. O.'s maritime union estimated 10,-00- 0 U. S. seamen were thrown out of work by the neutrality provision banning nationals from combat zones. (At Washington the President consulted A. F, of L.'i William Green and C. I. O.'t John Lewis on this prob-lem, also discussing the chances for labor peace.) Trade with belligerents zoomed. Even Switzerland, minus a navy, chartered two ships. The state de-partment warned shippers to de-mand cash from their foreign cus-tomers, and the cash was apparent-ly forthcoming because Britain's parliament rushed through a billion dollar fund to carry on the war. ik-fvAfo- ' lhth-:- t program by Jesse Jones, federal loan Thia plan, used first by the Boston and Maine line, calls for postponing debt pay-ments and ; .x ! reducing an-- .

On that same day in Washington, the Soviet embassy decorated Len-in's statue with red roses, assem-bled Scotch whisky and Russian soda, green sherbet in crushed rasp-berries, and cakes smothered in rum sauce. Awaited were the guests to help Charge d'Affaires Dmitri Chuvakhin celebrate. But he was embarrassingly disappointed. Absent were all Supreme court justices, cabinet members, senators and high ranking state department officials. Only China, Turkey and Ecuador sent their diplomats. Only prominent New Dealers: NLRB'j Edwin Smith, SEC's Leon Hender-son, and Mrs. Thurman Arnold, wife of the assistant attorney gen-eral. Most beaming visitors: Hans Thomson, German charge d'affaires, and his pretty wife, accompanied by four staff- members. Next day observers noticed Franklin Roose-velt had sent the U. S. S. R. no mes. sage of congratulations. POLITICS: No Ham, No Eggs The tumultuous 1930s have broughl an unprecedented thirst for secur-ity taking form in unorthodox pen-sion schemes. Most schemes were born in California, like Townsendism and EPIC. In November's elections two more panaceas went down to de-feat, but there were signs many a politician might follow them. Ohio's Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow promised to "continue the fight" for his badly snowed-unde- r plan to give hall before a mysterious blast in the empty attic upstairs sent its heavy ceiling crashing on the hangers-o- n who had stayed behind. Next day, while the Nazi press railed at Jews and the British secret service as "instigators" of the plot, the offered a $200,000 re-ward for capture of the perpetra-tors. While seers wondered if the Munich explosion might not prove another cause celrbre like Sarajevo or the Peiping bridge incident, pro-Hitl-sentiment began crystalizing in Germany. Dead as a dodo was the Belgian-Dutc- h peace plea; in fact the Dutch opened their dykes in self defense following border clashes that smelled suspiciously like those before the Polish invasion. CONGRESS: Committee Time Home to the stamping grounds went most senators and congress-men when the special neutrality ses-sion adjourned. But between ses-sions is' a fine time for committee hearings. Still in session is Martin Dies' group, bally-hooin- g for another appropriation. Two other groups, working out legis-lative suggestions for next Janu-ary's term, are: House Tax Subcommittee. Open-ing its hearings under Tennessee's Rep. Jere Cooper, the committee talked about broadening income tax bases. But there was a disinclina-tion to offer concrete proposals. It was announced final determination of a program will await the opening of congress. Two official reasons: (1) The treasury is studying taxes, soliciting suggestions from business and Industry; (2) National defense needs for the next fiscal year are not yet known. Besides, the com-mittee is wondering about taxes on excess war profits, not knowing where to turn. Equally important, how would tax revision be received in an election year like 1940? (At Washington, Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau told reporters any initiative for raising the V. S. debt limit above $45,000,000,000 must come from congress, not from himself or the White House. Present debt: About $41,000,000,000.) NLRB Investigating Committee. Deferring hearings until its Chair-man Howard Smith (Dem., Va.) gets well, the house labor commit-tee found new kindling for its cam-paign against the labor board in a new strike technique, the "slow-down." Defined Ohio's Rep. Harry Routzohn: "The slowdown is al-most the same as. the sitdown." Its origin, he said, could be traced to the northwest lumber camps, thence to the recent Chrysler strike. all persons over 60 a pensionof $50 a month via state in-come tax and a levy on real estate.

But, as usual, the biggest war news was made far from the front. Some 20 Nazi divisions stationed on their frontiers worried Belgium's King Leopold and The Netherlands' Queen Wilhelmina. Moreover, they heard rumors that Adolf Hitler would invade on November 15, claiming as an excuse that the allies would do likewise if Germany didn't invade first Though steadfastly denying any German "ultimatum" for a state-ment of their positions, the king and queen held all-nig- consultations with their foreign ministers. Re-sult: A peace appeal was dispatched to all combatants offering Belgian-Dutc- h mediation services. Britain rejected it politely. Fuehrer Hitler was less polite. Not waiting to reply directly, he hastened to the beer hall at Munich where his notorious putsch took place in 1923. There, on Naziism's sixteenth birthday, he scorned peace: "There can be only one victor that is we."

Culbert Olson had fought ham-and-eg-by promising "useful and pro-ductive employment" to all who wanted it as a reward for defeating the plan. As pension leaders began a recall move against Mr. Olson, the governor soothed them: "This defeat doesn't mean that California is against the further development of sound social security . . ." Other results: In New York, voters ignored Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia's protest by legalizing pari-mutu-race betting.

Somebody was NEW turning in a riot call when Igor Stravinsky's "Fire Bird" and "Sacre du Printemps" were first played. He Wdd' Composer was Eari Spears Harvard Browder of .the salons and Professorship musical con-servatories, but now he's as respect- - able as Nicholas Murray Butler, as he takes his post as professor of po-etry at Harvard. As he writes bis fourth symphony, he enjoys full and complete academic sanction for what were once considered the wild vagaries of his compositions. In Russia, his parents wanted him to be a lawyer. Rimsky-Korsako- ff was the Pied Piper who lured him from law books to outlaw music, but who un-leashed his jcenius and himself profited as Stravinsky became one of his most knowing and gifted Interpreters. The frail person of Professor Stra-vinsky, as he may now be called, has been shaken and racked by the torrent of his genius, and every so often he has found it necessary to take time out In Switzerland for re-pairs. But, at 54, he still has furious vitality and is still at mid-wa- y in his creative career. With a sharp pencil he spears snperanral sounds. Marshaling them In a symphony, he looses demons, to slay them with his baton. This demoniac disso-nance caused riots in France when his compositions were first produced. It took quite a few years for discerning critics to discover that he "planned It that way," and that there was law and order In bis music.

"We don't want any war to Inflate Bethlehem's business," says Mr. Grace. "We prefer peace. We are in a position to be war baby number one, as In the last war, but I can tell you that our directors and associates don't want that kind of business. I'd like to see the war stop to-day. Bethlehem would be better oft if it did." In contrast are the words of an-other great industrialist, now dead, who, at a New York luncheon club in January, 1917, spoke as follows: "America has come of age. Its ships cannot be driven from the seas; its citizens will go wherever their trade or business leads them. No insolent challenge to our enter-prise will stay us in our peaceful pursuits whenever and wherever we choose to go. And I say to you that our great business establishment will remain world business for what-ever profit may legitimately accrue. It is not only our right, but patriotic duty to seize opportunity to main-tain the full solvency of this na-tion." Mr. Grace, as president of both Bethlehem Steel and the Bethlehemfihipbuilding corpora-tion, had special charge of all production of cannon, armor plate and munitions daring the World war. Last summer, he rounded out 40 years with Beth-lehem, one of the great steel-maste- rs ef the country. After his graduation in electrical en-gineering at Lehigh university, his first Job at the company was operating an electric crane. He became general superintend-ent, manager and a director in 1911. lie became president In ' 1913. He is 63 years old. w pOMPARISONS are dangerous, but it would appear that Walter A.
