UTAH 'Old Christmas' That Old Black Lace Shawl Is Is Best Despite Right in Style This Season Modern Trends WW might not know it, but the next spring training trip is just around the corner. The two managers who can afford to sit back and yawn are Joe McCarthy of the New York Yankees and Billy Southwortb of the St. Louis Cardinals. With most of his stars young and active with people such as DiMag-gio, Keller around, his with younger pitchers moving up McCarthy didn't have to hang out his Christmas stockIt was already ing. mmg , packed. Billy Southworth's main worry will be getting rid of talent, oot taking it Grantland Rice on. The Cardinal leader has 19 good- looking pitchers and 11 good outfielders waiting for the spring call. Billy needs more ball players just as Minnesota needs more tackles or guards. But it's different in 14 other camps. Larry MacPhail and Leo Duro-chunderstand they can't afford to stand pat, even on a pennant winner. Their World Series pitching staff averaged over 33 years. The Dodgers need another good pitcher, at least one more good and one more hitting outfielder, to defend their place against a Cardinal club that should be better in the next race. The Reds still have a great pitch ing staff on hand, with Vander Meer and Riddle due for even better seasons, plus Walters and Derringer and a rookie or two. This will be Derringer's sixteenth season and at the age of 33 Paul was 35 in October the big Red can't be expected to be what he used to be. But there are more than one or two Red spots that need improving, which Bill McKechnie un- er derstands better than anyone else. What the American league can do to keep the Yan- Paul Derringer kees from winning the 1942 pennant around is something more than we can figure out this far ahead. But it will have to be something on the miracle side. st There is an old saying to the effect that "fools rush in and get away with it where angels fear to tread." ' looped Observers Say of cranberries, red glass balls, then all white lights would be very festive indeed, especially if complemented over the house with evergreen boughs tied with white ribbon and clusters of big red poinsettias.

" To these problems, lace, always a gallant flatterer, brings one of the happiest solutions fashion has to offer this winter. It is not only that the charm of lace ever makes resistless appeal, but this season the use of lace takes on new emphasis. Modern laces are so diverse in type and in kind there's literally a lace for every mood and mode, whether informal or ever so formal. This adaptability of lace is a most convincing "reason why" it is more widely a favorite among designers than ever. It can be made to fit modest budgets and simple occasions successfully and glamorously. A wise supplement to any wardrobe that must include a "pretty-pretty- " informal frock that is not expensive is the model shown to the left in the illustration. You can get f this very wearable patterned lace in a long list of delectable colors, and the dress will always be ready for any occasion. The bodice is horizontally tucked in a new treatment and is made smooth by a dainty slide fastener. A taffeta bow gives it a final fillip.

Wide Peasant Belt To Match Hat Band WXU Service.) WASHINGTON. Joseph Stalin is reliably reported to have told high American officials that he would not consider a British campaign in North Africa as complying with his demand for the British to open a "Second front" to take the pressure off Russia. This statement by the Red Dictator was made more than a week before the British launched their new drive in Libya. V N ' Of It- - fa Sndicate psychological moment to release this priceless heirloom from its lavender-scentewrappings, for beguiling mantilla effects like that pictured to the right in the illustration are recapturing the charm and romance of yesterday and bringing their allure to modern fashion. One sees these charming lace fantasies everywhere in the current formal fashion picture, either worn over the head as here illustrated, or thrown artfully and casually over the shoulders to serve graciously as a light evening wrap. The black velvet gown so alluringly veiled in this lovely shadowy Chantilly lace scarf makes simplicity its theme. Petite black lace edging finishes off the low decolletage, while wide bands of the velvet are brought up to each shoulder top where they tie in intriguing big bows. Youthful party dresses of filmy Chantilly lace in lovely pastel shades are given high fashion rating this season. The bouffant dance frock centered above in the group is of flesh toned Chantilly, the mesh ol which is as delicate and elusive as a silken cobweb. The corselet waistline is banded in taffeta, which also defines the pleated shoulder ruffles and appears, as trimming, on the skirt. Scores of charming lace fantasies are being shown for sophisticated moments at opera, banquet and ball. There are tiny black lace calots with a metallic weave and sequin-sow- n edge. You can buy gay gauntlet gloves made all of lace for the dashing and the debonair. Black lace mitts are shown that boast a double tier of lace reaching to the elbows. The new lace evening handkerchiefs are luxuriously fragile with lace and chiffon. And for the romantic touch, see the new lace muffs. d (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Head Lines In the way of accessory items, a new twosome has been brought out this season that will add intrigue to many a daytime costume. This gay and flattering alliance consists of a wide colorful felt or leather belt embroidered in peasant colors, together with a matching band to encircle the crown of your nonchalant felt hat. Also available is a corselet that laces up the front in a vestee effect. The bright colors of this felt or leather corselet add gaiety and chic to the simplest wool dress or skirt. Military experts here are almost unanimous in their appraisal of the situation. They admit that the renewal of fighting in Africa was not anything like as much of a diversion in helping Russia as would the landing of a British expeditionary force in continental Europe. The point here is that all agree if such an expeditionary force should be landed in Norway, or anywhere else in continental Europe, the Germans would withdraw as many divisions as necessary from the eastern front for the purpose of annihilating the British. There is also agreement that the British force so landed WOULD be annihilated. There are some experts who believe Germany would be able to crush any expeditionary force Britain would be able to land in continental Europe without relaxing her war effort against Russia. If this point is right, then Britain would make a terrible sacrifice without accomplishing anything. Worse than that there would be not only the loss of British lives, and military supplies, most of which had already run the submarine gauntlet in the Atlantic, but the resulting prestige of the Germans would have a very bad effect in other quarters. Defeat in Africa Worries U. S. and Britain The British and our government agrees are worried about the effect of such a British defeat on the French in Africa. There is plenty of understanding among these military experts for Stalin's attitude. In fact, there is great sympathy as well. But there is virtual unanimity that the price of such help for the Reds is too high, especially as there is no certainty that the goods for which the price would be paid would be delivered. But the really interesting point made by the experts is that Stalin is wrong in thinking that a North African offensive by the British is not a satisfactory substitute. In the opinion of these observers it is far more likely to prove of lasting value to Stalin than the sort of offensive he has been calling for. In the first place, it is pointed out, the repercussions from a defeat would not be nearly so disastrous. In the second place, win, lose or draw, the cost to the Germans of this North African campaign will be far greater than a campaign of twice the forces involved in continental Europe. The answer to this is that Germany must send every soldier, every tank and every gun for the North African campaign overseas. The British navy has been taking a terrific toll of the ships which form this line of supply. The toll may be expected to increase, rather than diminish. So the effectiveness of the British army in North Africa is not limited to the losses it can inflict on the enemy. It is augmented by forcing the enemy to expose itself to British naval attacks. mor through Frr This Veil Can Be Useful As Well as Ornamental o.

Here the black felt hat shown at the top in the picture rolls up at one side and forms a soft peak at the center front to extend nature's line.

Cathy ikopt, Ikcitm, . U. S. Has a Check On Nazi Activity Those senators and representatives who insisted that the United States break off relations with the Vichy government because of its "collaborations" with Adolf Hitler were just shouting words without having given much thought to the consequences of such an action. All they were asking was that Uncle Sam slap Marshal Petain on the wrist. Just how that would hurt Hitler is difficult to figure. If the action had any effect on the Petain government ,at all it would tend to drive them into a closer embrace with the Nazis. Actually it probably would not affect Vichy's actions in the slightest degree. But it would deprive the United States government of what is at present an accurate check on Nazi moves all through Africa, including Dakar and everything else of moment. The point is that at present this government has some 300 officials scattered through what might now be called Vichy Africa. Their function is to see to the arrival, disposition and consumption of American supplies which have been going there. The last thing this government wants to do about these 300 men is to recall them. For the plain fact is these men have been reporting every happening of any possible interest. Thus our government has had accurate information with which to check all the wild reports that have been pouring in. H0Ut eA Monc!
