HOW SOON WEDDING BELLS WILL RING led Prexs The conscription law may be hurrying young couples into matriage. But in at least 30; states there are laws that require more than spur-of-the-moment agreement by the parties before the knot can be tied. Some states require a Feriod after intention to is announced.

Shoes of leopard skin with soles three inches thick? A_ hat white fox dyed pink? Divided skirts and harem hemlines? It's shocking, the news from the American fashion openings. But, like sensational news from Paris openings, these tidings are to be taken with a grain of salt. Of the 800 original American designs presented with great fanfare by six leading Fifth Avenue style establishments last week, about 100 were sensation- al—for the sake of the headlines and a few daringly best-dressed women. & The rest Were simple, wearable. and nice—the sort of clothes you could take to your heart. In Paris Tradition American designers, determin- ed to prove that they could pro- duce fine clothes without the help of Paris, did themselves proud The clothes were in the Pa tradition, with clean-cut lines and fine detail Hand-done embroidering, bead- ing, hand-made belts and buckles appeared in profusion, refuting the claim that fine handwork c come only from Paris. Though the variety of design was great, the collections clu to basic trends launched in Paris last spring. AP Fashion Writer The silhouette is slim, skirts 16 or 17 inches from the floor. Shoulders are moderately wide, and waistlines are an inch or so below normal. : This doesn’t mean American designers haven't the courage for change, but only that the time isn’t ripe for radical style revi- sion. Meantime _ there's fashion interest. How would you like a venetian blind dress so realistic you'd probably try to pull the cord? Sophie Gimbel designed it for the Saks Fifth Avenue collection. What do you think of Hattie Carnegie’s newest invention— paradise fox? It is white fox— sometimes dyed pink—with long black monkey furs grafted in. A rust-red velvet impressed with a sweeping plume design was used in one of the most ap- plauded dresses at the Bergdorf Goodman show. Bonwit Teller offered peek-a- boo dresses with cut-out paper doily designs at the low neckline. Milgrim used great bands of fur to finish off the new longer- length suit jackets, and Jay Thorpe presented Sultana drap- ery on hobble skirts. Soon To Be Duplicated In most of the collections about half of the models shown—: more daring ones—are custom- made. That is, they are made up only on order for individual custom- plenty of 'ALL-STAR PROGRAM FOR CHESTERFIELD NEWSPAPER SERIES Many famous personalities ap- pear in the Chesterfield Cig- arettes campaign for early fall. released this week by Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company. This campaign will tell Ameri- ca that Chesterfield is “the smok- er’s cigarette, because it combines milder, cooler, better taste in one satisfying smoke”. From the screen world, Fred MacMurray, Robert Rapelye and Georgette McKee “star” for Chesterfield. Heading the list of sports celebrities are Gene Sara- zen, great golf champion, and Sid Luckman, All-America footbal hero. Three pretty aviatrices from the newly-organized Women Fly- ers of America and a_ cheerful World’s Series baseball adver- tisement complete the schedule. National magazines, billboards, cut-outs and the famous Chester- field radio network programs, featuring Glenn Miller's Moon- light Serenade on CBS and Fred Waring’s Pleasure Time on NBC, support the newspaper adyver- tising.

When it is finished with this, it becomes a living ship, in a way that Kipling makes clear in “The Ship That Found Herself.” The U. S. Navy Ashore But a ship, even in commis- sion, is never free of the shore. It must have bases handy—bases where it can refuel, get fresh food, fresh ammunition, and re- pairs. There can be no_ blue water navy without these bases, for the maximum range of a modern fleet is about 2,500 miles. Even that short distance carri it dangerously far from fortified yards and fuel stations. To supply the ship when the fleet is in blue water, the Navy has ten outlying bases. These are spread around the world from Cavite, Olongapo, Philippine Is- lands, stretching across the Paci- fic to Guam, to Pearl Harbor, to Pago-Pago, to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to the Aleutian Island Archipelago. south again to the great Coco-Solo base at Panama and to our eastern outposts at Guantanamo, Cuba and the Vir- gin Islands. At these bases, aside from the relaxation to sailormen home from wars, there are fuel stations, repair bases, and, at some of them, there are drydocks. Most of them are defended by shore fortifications. and most! have air bases where the Navy's long-range flying boats can come home to roost and drink up the thousands of gallons of fuel that will enable them to range again ntice is hereby given that the across the ocean and keep their ; v dereigned nae ry and eyes on what is going on.

In time of peace, many of these auxil- iaries are not necessary to the fleet. In time of war. to supply the fleet, enormous trains are re- quired. The Navy must be p: vided with sufficient auxilia in any emergency, and for this the Navy must depend on € merchant marine. That is the Maritime Commission’s gram must go step by step the Navy program. That is another problem for the National Defense Advisory Commission— seeing to it that the Navy gets these supplies when it needs them. Back of these bases are the Navy’s shipyards where our ship was born. Here men can put to- gether anything from outboard motors to a 45,000 ton battleship. Here guns and gaskets are made. Anything that floats can be re- paired. These buildings and manufacturing facilities, at one and the same time, make Navy and keep it going. At Portsmouth, Boston, Newport, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washing- ton, Norfolk, Charleston, San Pedro, San Francisco, and Seattle are, with the aid of the private shipyards, the birth places of the fighting fleet.

CONVENT SPANISH COURSE TO OPEN Convent of Mary Immaculate announced teday that the Spanish 21 and 22 courses will be given as evening classes, to ‘start in the near future. These classes have been announced as equivalent to Spanish 101 and 102 at the Florida State College for Women, and the course al- lows three semester hours credits each. ] Adults interested in these classes may call at the Convent or phone, it was stated |THE BUDGET PROBLEM (Continued from Page One) will, we must have them, and I am convinced that the burden will be borne willingly and even gladly when we realize what enormous stakes we stand to lose if attack finds us unprepared to repel our aggressor. The Congress has made avail- able in appropriations and con- tract authorizations for national defense expenditures almost $15,- 000,000,000, more than one-third of which will be spent before the end of this fiscal year. As the sit- uation becomes more acute, this amount may be greatly in- creased. The money necessary to carry out the enormous defense pro- gram will eventually have to be paid in taxes. I firmly believe that, to as great an extent as pos- sible, we should pay our nation- al defense bills as we go. In line with this philosophy, the Con- gress passed earlier in the pres- ent session the revenue act of !1940. This measure will increase our tax revenues by $1,000,000,- 000 annually, the greatest peace- time increase in our nation’s his- tory. i As this is written, additional tax legislation is now pending inj the form of excess-profits tax. | which will further increase our revenues. In spite of these added taxes, however, the defense program will necessitate further deficits. We are, however, a virile and de. termined nation. If deficits are necessary to the preservation of our national se- curity, if higher taxes must be borne in order to retain our lib- erty and freedom, and if a great- er national debt is the price for the continuation of our .eherish- ed ideals. I am _ convincéd “the American ‘people will not long delay their decision.
