Al though the way I've been rav ing about the place for the last few years 1 shouldn't mention the word "better" in connection With it! Anyway, there will be quite a bit of difference, according to what I hear . . . Additional pace, re-arrangement of rooms, new decorating . . . But the ame Brady Narey to see that everything goes smoothly and everybody has a good time. Last Sunday I happened to be in The Newt-Herald office by myself, and answered the phone ... A tweet feminine voice asked me if Cal-Ore was open to dinner parties for that night . . . And when I told her that Friday wat the re-opening day, the voice showed her disap pointment ... So that a a piece of business Cal-Ore lost by not opening a week earlier. v Canadian hosiery mills are now making nylon hosiery . . . To retail at ll.BS a pair. .

You'll un derstand each new event a lot better if you have the back ground of knowledge these tre mendously interesting books provide. "Night Over Europe," by Frederick L. Schuman is the . story of diplomacy just before and during World War II . . . It answers such questions as: . What happened to Czechoslo vakia? . . . Why did Hitler abandon hit designs on- the , Ukraine? . . . What was Stalin's greatest blunder? ... How and why did Roosevelt's leadership fail? ... Who destroyed France? Schuman is a noted political scientist and has several author-' ltative books to his credit. The Battle For Asia" is by Edgar Snow . . . The crack newspaper correspondent who wrote Red Star Over China, In -"Which he prophesied that japan could not win. Then there's a wonderful eye witness account of Europe to day, particularly England and France, by one of the most fa mous of European correspond ents, Quentin Reynolds . . . It's called "The Wounded Don't Cry," and rates right now as the second best seller in the United States. And of course you shouldn't miss "Out of The Night" by Jan Valtin, which has the whole country talking. The author, whose real name is Krebs, is now trying to keep out or tne way of the Com munists ... But according to -wie - ana -Time" he is ex pected to be the next author whose body is found under cir cumstances indicating suicide . . General Krivitsky, whose articles ran in the Saturday Evening Post a year ago, was xne last. You can get these books at Shaw Stationery, of course. IF you read Mademoiselle, you've probably seen the ad for "Storkettes," the slack suit to wear if you're "in fanticapating." . . . Chet Smith's has them and that's where I got chance to exam ine this newest and most ob acuring outfit I've seen yet. "Storkettes" has a patented waistband feature with a 16 inch expansion made possible by pleats and eight buttons that al low gradual expansion . . . The trousers are rather full and the pleats allow them to get fuller . And the blouse it the regu lar new-style loose smock-effect. In Mademoiselle, the prices given are $2.60 and $5.00 . . . But the same things exactly at Chet Smith's are $1.98 and $3.98. Costume Jewelry for lapels it bigger, gaudier and more ec centric than evar . . . Have you noticed? - - During recent year.

I F you re beyond the young- girl age and yearn for one of those darling bonnets that are the newest thing in hats, don't hesitate to try one on . . . Because they look even bet ter on the so-called "matron' age than on younger gals. I think these new bonnets are the cutest things out . . . The crown is supposed to fit behind your pompadour, if you wear one . . . Then the brim curves gracefully forward and down in the most flattering way When I tried several on at Moe's Millinery department the other day I realized right away that they d be better-than-usual protection from the sun, too, The ones at Moe's are of straw with ribbon trim . . . And the price is a sensation, too Only $3.95. In case you haven't learned yet . . . Moe's is the new home of the famous Rafield hats , Mable Upper Randall, the man ager of the department, is tick led pink over the new line. I VE never been able to un derstand fully why a man who smokes a pipe has to have a- whole bunch of pipes One pipe smoker told me it was because a pipe tastes good for only a couple of days, and then has to be allowed to dry out for a few days . . . That doesn't explain, though, why he keeps about 12 of them handy, Pipe smoking under those conditions could be a pretty ex pensive indulgence, I should think . . . Not, of course, if he'd stick to comparatively inexpen sive pipes, but lots of men don t I got to thinking about that this week when I saw the dis play of pipes in the window of Currin's . . . Vance Vaupel told me that the drug store has the largest selection of Yello-Boles in town . . . More than 400 of them. ' There are all different shapes. sizes and styles in bowls, stems and insides . . . Some of them look like plain pipes, while oth ers are very distinguished in appearance . . . And they are priced at $1.00, $1.25 and $1.50. QatcelanX T HE next thing that's due to go up in price is silverware . . . Because nickel is the base of all plated silver ware, and the government has cut the supply to silver ware manufacturers about in half ... It seems nickel has lots of uses in the defense pro gram. Garcelon's has been warned to order from the manufacturers now for possible delivery in August, because the' silverware companies already are behind on their orders and can't catch up because they can't get the nickel. So if you want to fill in on your present set, you'd better do it right away. If you re going to buy a new set of silver plate, it would be a good idea to choose your pat tern now . . . You can have Garcelon's lay it away while you pay on the budget plan, if you want. Garcelon's has various sets of silverware at different prices All pre-defense prices, by the way . . . There's a lovely Community Plate set of 53 pieces for eight . . . For $49.75, including the beautiful anti-tarnish chest ... I'm crazy about the Milady pattern of Communi ty Plate, myself. The store also has 1847 Rog ers silverware as low as S27.S0 for 26-piece service for six. with the chest included, too. comnared with innm ni,, America at the same tlm.

S. to Take Over British War Contracts WASHINGTON, March 13 VP) A high administration official disclosed today that the army and reconstruction finance cor poration were negotiating to take over between $300,000,000 and $350,000,000 worth of Brit ish war contracts and factories in this country. The official, who declined to be quoted by name but spoke to reporters in order, he said, to clear up some misapprehensions about what was happening, said the program "in no way means that the British will be relieved of the remainder of their obli gations in this country." He explained that the nego tiations probably would cut British war obligations, how ever, between 20 and 25 per cent, indicating that their total obligations for weapons and other war materials were about $1,500,000,000.

The organization celebrates its 29th birthday March 12-18, War Writer Eyes American Aims in World By DEWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Writer Nazidom, speaking through the medium of the government controlled radio, charges that Uncle Sam is a double-dealer in the matter of aid for Britain and "Intent only upon the speediest acquisition of a maxi mum number of British posses sions." That is so far from the fact that I doubt whether the Ger mans or their partners in the triple alliance, Italy and Japan, really believe Uncle Sam Is such a rat as to double-cross a friend and then knife him in the back for gain. It Isn't even a very smart piece of propaganda, but more in the class of thumbing ones nose to express resent ment. Still, the allegation is a re minder that self-analysis is al ways good. Just what Is our feeling as we start to pour our resources out for the Anglo- allies? I have talked with people of all classes in many parts of the country since the war began, and have no doubt that America is Impelled by high and unself ish motives. If the security of our country and ways of life is foremost in our minds, that is natural. But beyond this my definite impression is that the majority of Americans in sup porting aid for Britain are hon estly anxious to help preserve the security and ways of life of other countries who are victims of aggression. Uncle Sam hasn't arrived at his present pitch of determine tion, however, without long and grave thought. It was the same A blend of straight whit. kies 00 proof.

When I was in England In August of 1938, just before Mu nich, the public was more than apathetic about fighting for Czecho-Siovakia or anybody else outside the empire. After the little republic was put on the sacrificial altar, however, and the blood began to run, there was a sharp revulsion of public opinion. England realized for the first time what was in store. Then was born the spirit of resistance which we see today. Public sentiment in the Unit ed States has undergone a simi lar change, as I see it. And the axis itself has been primari ly responsible for this, for with each succeeding act of aggres sion there has been increasing sentiment in America for de fensive measures and aid for the Anglo-allies.
