October 31, 1940 Page 15 Verhovayak Lapja NEW YORK STYLE LETTER From Anne M. Griffin Peerless Fashion Service 121 West 19th Street New York, N. Y. The old tussle between belt and suspenders has finally entered the woman’s world. Department stores are now showing two-piece dresses, the skirts of which are held in place by mannish suspenders. They claim it ensures a graceful hang for your skirt, and is much more comfortable besides— particularly after dinner. * * * Watch the jumper go to town! Dress it up or dress it down with a sports, or formal blouse. On the street, about the house, off to school or on a date, it’s jumpers early, jumpers late! In corduroy or velveteen, Silk or plaid or duvetyne, Buttoned down the back or side, Bodice snug and skirt cut wide, Practical as well as smart, The jumper’s stolen fashion’s heart! * * * Just a word for purple! Colorful, regal, rich purple! It’s coming right up as a shade of first fashion importance, and is especially lovely in wool. You couldn’t make a better choice for that dress to wear under your fur jacket, and it promises to be the belle of the bleachers at important games this season.--------------------O-------------------FINANCING REARMAMENT Financing the arms program will require tremendous sums of money. It will be up to the taxpayers of the present and the future to buy airplanes, warships, rifles, tanks, and all the other needed weapons, and to pay for the maintenance of naval and military forces. These expenses must be borne by the public alone. Equally important is that part of the cost which can be properly borne by private industry. Before an airplane can be built there must be a factory—before a battleship’s keel can be laid down there must be a shipyard— before a soldier can be issued his uniform there must be a tailoring plant to make it for him. And here is where private money should be used to the limit. The commercial banks have pledged their willingness to make loans for defense needs. So have the investment bankers, whose work is to dispose of industrial securities to raise capital for plant expansion and to provide operating capital. There is no lack of private savings ready to go to work in this country today, to create the tools necessary for building American security. There has been talk of putting government even more widely than at present into the business of providing this capital, through such lending agencies as the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Not one cent of government money should be used in this manner until it has been definitely proven that private capital for the purpose is unobtainable. Only if that is done, can the democratic system be preserved, and the direct cost of defense to the taxpayers be kept at the lowest possible level.--------------------O-------------------SEEN AT STATE FAIR The state and county fairs are a firmly entrenched tradition in this country. They provide education no less than entertainment and a good time for the whole family. On the serious side, they show what agriculture has accomplished. Expert visitors to recent fairs have been impressed by the stress laid on quality. Better fruits, better vegetables, better dairy products —all along the line, the products of the farm are constantly attaining higher standards. And a large measure of the credit for that achievement must go to the agricultural marketing cooperatives. These co-ops have long laid special stress on better producing methods—methods which not only produce more, but which produce a finer quality crop. They have done fine work in soil utilization and kindred lines. And the result is better food for the consumer, along with a higher return for the producer.--------------------O-------------------WOMAN AND LIFE INSURANCE Women, according to well substantiated legend, know a good thing when they see it. And that seems to be true when it comes to building up savings, no less than in buying clothes or decorating a home. More than 17,000,000 women are owners of life insurance. In a recent year about 20 per cent of all life insurance purchases were made by the fair sex. That is a very high proportion when you think that, even in these days of equal rights, the great majority of wage earners are still men. The ladies deserve praise for the foresight. For no one ever devised an economic protection for the individual, male or female, one half so effective, safe and certain as life insurance.--------------------o-------------------THE WORD TO THE LIVING IT isn’t enough to say in our hearts That we like a man for his ways. It isn’t enough that we fill our minds With paeans of silent praise. Nor is it enough that we honor a man, As our confidence upward mounts— It’s going right up to the man himself And telling him so, that counts. If a man does a work you really admire, Don’t leave a kind word unsaid In fear that to do so might make him vain, And cause him to “lose his head.” But reach out your hand and tell him, “Well done!” And see how his gratitude swells. It isn’t the flowers we strew on the grave, It’s the word to the living that tells. LITTLE JULIUS SNEEZER BY BAKE! 5M-m/KTS THE matter wid you \ —I FOLKS?! ARe Voo STILL A COLLECTOR?
