CHAIR PAINTED DARK CUT 6REEN WITH GREEN DOWN AND WHITE CUSHIONS A TOP-HEA- BACK next time I went to see the Bride, there was the chair sitting in a corner painted a cheerful green and with white gingham cushions.

On the first flight the Clipper made a trip that usually takes four days by boat in slightly over five hours. Twenty passengers were aboard. This initial flight called attention to Alaskas air defenses which are in the process of being strengthened by the U. S. navy. Two new flying bases at Sitka and Kodiak are under construction at the present time and the naval expansion program calls for further bolstering of Uncle Sams air arm in the area. Pan American Airways is starting transoceanic service over 8,000 miles of the South Pacific to New Zealand and a new flight schedule with daily plane service to Argentina is slated to get under way July 12. On the New Zealand route, four and a half day service will be provided between Los Angeles and Auckland, New Zealand. 20-to- pay-passeng- er All Gaul is divided into three parts, said Caesar, and now modern France, covering most of ancient Gaul, is again divided into three parts. .The two most important segments will he occupied by the Axis powers, , Germany and Italy.

INDUSTRY: Change of Pace Current reports of Federal Reserve banks plus other commercial indices reveal that a downward trend of industrial activity which has marked U. S. business since last December has now been reversed. Expanding production is noted in many key industries. With much of such increasing activity centered directly or indirectly in war and defense materials, nonmilitary industries are also registering important gains. Steel production is now booming along at capacity speeds and new orders from foreign and domestic buyers which are currently pouring in should keep blast furnaces roaring for many months to come. Automobile tire shipments have shown large increases and leading rubber companies say these more than offset a seasonal decline in sales to car manufacturers. Southern Pacific railroad is negotiating for the purchase of some 2,500 neffr freight cars. LEAGUE OF NATIONS: Business Report employees of the league of nations the last 89 to be exact were given notice to resign for business appeared to be at a standstill. Secretary General Joseph Avenol started closing up shop about May 16 when Germany launched its blitzkrieg against the low countries. It was then he gave 205 league officials and employees a chance to resign or have their contracts suspended upon any notice. Two decades ago the league was created to aid in the settlement of international disputes, but business was dull until two years ago, when aggressors started to work in earnest and things began to hum in the great marble building that housed the delegations. But this activity began to slow down as one by one, Austria, PoAlbania, Finland, land, Denmark, Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium and then France wilted under the pressure of more powerful nations. Starting out as a noble bid for peace and world understanding, an idealistic institution is closing its books in a world where force holds the balance in the ledger.
