Low-Cut Necklines Call
For Bra to Match Dress
Necklines are on their way down

With this type of dress, comes a bra
to match. You can fasten the open
point high or low, as you wish. The
latest blouses have open-throat col-
lared necklines that may be adjusted
at will.

But now, one moonless night, a band
reported as of at least sixty men
struck from no place, scattering the
Herd, and blazing down on Harnish’s
riders almost before they could take
to the saddle. There had been a
sharp running fight as Harnish and
his half-dozen boys took to the brush
and the hills. Unsatisfied with sei-
zure of the herd, the unknown band
had spent three days trying to hunt
down Harnish’s riders.
Lee Harnish himself, wounded in
the first skirmish, had had a hard
time getting clear; it was not known
whether or not all of his riders
were elsewhere accounted for.
After an elapse of several weeks,
an Indian-faced vaquero came hunt-
ing Bill Roper; he carried a writ-
ten message from Lee Harnish:
Brims Large, Small
It’s a far cry from the tiny little

ly equipped wardrobe of headgear
should include both. The cunning
flower hats have captured women’s
fancy to the extent that they will
continue in the picture for a long
time to come, but from now on they
must share honors with the stunning
big pompadour brims, Mexican
gaucho felts and the face-framing
“covered wagon” types.

White-Ground Prints New
In Summer Fashion Picture
It is the white-ground prints that
have the coveted “new” look. The
black-on-white combination is espe-
cially smart. Wear with these black-
and-whites one of the very voguish
large Milan hats, carry a patent bag
matched with pumps, splash a dash
of red or yellow in gloves and your
boutonniere—the sum total will be
“style.”
Blue on white is also new and the
prints that pattern red or yellow on
white are exceedingly chic.

when Dave Shannon pushed a little
bunch of seven hundred head through
the river at Mudcat Turn, and found
no vaqueros waiting on the other
side. Shannon waited three days
before he was forced to turn the
cattle free and ride.
The complete news of what had
happened never really came. What
Roper learned came in bit by bit,
by way of random riders who had
talked with a vaquero here, another
there.
Lee Harnish had been pressing
south with a herd of twelve hundred
head. He was two day's into Mex-
ico, and supposed that he was clear;
he had never had much trouble,
once he was well below the line.

charge of the Office
of Emergency Man-
agement, one of the
most important in
war effort. There is
such criticism, of
course, as has been
made on the floor of
the house of repre-
sentatives by John
Taber of New York.
Taber thinks the
Hopkins' appoint-
ment is the worst
thing President
WASHINGTON.—It isn’t the Unit-
ed States fleet, hovering around
Pearl Harbor, that is staying the
hands of the Japanese war lords,
keeping them from striking at
Singapore and seizing the Dutch
East Indies while Britain is fighting
with her back to the wall. It’s
bombers. British bombers at Singa-
pore, yes, but chiefly American
bombers, both at Singapore and
Manila.
It is known that most of the Brit-
ish air strength at Singapore has
come from the U. S. A. but, and per-
haps more important, Uncle Sam has
been sending heavy bombers to
Manila, building up his own air arm
in that remote part of the world.
But why should that worry Japan,
it might be asked. Japan has a
strong aviation force, a big navy,
and a magnificent army. So why
should Japan worry about Ameri-
can—or British—bombers?
The answer is simple. It is dem-
onstrated twice a week or more in
the aerial war between Britain and
Germany. It is a fact beyond doubt
that the British air force is not as
strong as the German—yet the Brit-
ish can and do bomb any particular
spot on the occupied coast or in
Germany they like.
The point is that superiority in
the air, even when it is very great,
is not enough to prevent bombing,
even bombing of particular small
targets at particular times.
OIL SUPPLY VULNERABLE
Which brings us to the real heart
of the Japanese fear of exciting
Uncle Sam too much in this Far
Eastern business. It so happens
that Japan is very shy on oil. But
she must have oil for her ships, her
planes, her tanks, and her supply
trains.
Japan has plenty of storage oil,
plenty for an emergency—BUT—
Japan’s secret service knows that
the U. S. and British navies know
precisely where every gallon of it
is stored!
It is the considered opinion of mili-
tary experts that the Japanese army
and navy would be immobilized
within a few days of any hostile
move by the demolition of Nippon’s
entire oil supply.
It was a long time before Roper
saw Lee Harnish again. He did not
accept Harnish’s statements off-
hand; but when he had conferred
with Dave Shannon, and others of
the border men in whom he be-
lieved, he was forced to accede that
the border-running phase of the at-
tack on Tanner was done.
As February drew to a close, the
big herds were once more being
thrown together for the trail. From
the eleven rehabilitated outfits in
which Roper was now silent part-
vogue. Two shades of Irish linen, a
rich tan and a deep green, combine
to dramatize the South American in-
fluence shown in the simulated bo-
lero of this good-looking dress. This
is a fashion designed by Schiaparel-
li for gay young folk.
It’s ‘three cheers for the red-
white-and-blue" when the classic
shirtwaist dress shown to the left in
the group marches along in the fash-
ion parade. The dress is of blue
wrinkle-resistant Irish linen. The
double blue-and-white collar and
cuffs are edgd with red rickrack,
and the chic crocheted belt also com-
bines the three colors.
A fashion that women will wel-
come is the redingote that is styled
of linen in handsome dark mono-
tones. This is worn over print
frocks very effectively and over linen
dresses of a contrasting shade. A
practical as well as smart item in
any wardrobe is the linen suit that is
fashioned with the longer jacket. In
navy or dark green or toast brown
it invites many uses, for the jacket
may be worn over casual frocks
when not worn with its matching
skirt.
The young set glories this season
in the new line middy blouse fash-
ions. As summer advances, dance
floors will boast linen dinner dresses.
On beaches, dressmaker bathing
suits in linen will take to the water
and many play suits and beach
dresses of Irish linen will be worn
by vacationers.

THE STORY SO FAR:

made this decision against the opposi-

pleading of his sweetheart, Jody Gor-

and other outlaw gunmen, Roper con-

this country, and I don’t see but
what he can.”
“Well, anyway,” Roper said, “the
border gangs are going good. We’ll
go on with it, and keep going on . . .”
“Bill,” Shoshone said, “how long
can you go on, the way it’s costing
you now?”
“Not much farther, I guess.”
“You going to have to quit?”
Roper shook his head. “I’ll never
quit now, Shoshone; I can’t quit.
While I’ve got one rider left with
me, or no riders, I’ll still be work-
ing on Cleve Tanner. But I think
we’re going to beat him, Wilce. Aft-
er all, the border gangs—we can
count on them.”
Roper continued to count on his
border gangs for two weeks more.
Then, in the middle of February,

herds. Cleve Tanner, manager of
Thorpe's Texas holdings, seemed help-
less to stop him. In spite of his dar-
ing plans, Roper’s resources had dwin-
dled dangerously low by the time winter
came. And Thorpe seemed not to feel
the losses inflicted upon him.
“This thing is finished up. Don’t
let anybody tell you it was Cleve
Tanners men busted into us. What
hes done, this Tanner has put some
bunches of Mex renegades up to
landing on us, they work with the
Yakis, and his Indian scouts have
spotted where we make our cross-
ings. Seems like theres anyway a
dozen bands of them havent got any-
thing else to do but lay watching
those crossings, and wait us out.
“About half of them is carrying
new American guns and plenty am-
munition. They got our hide nailed
to the fence all right and we are
through.”

g
was throwing money around with a
shovel in each hand. You know
what I think? I think he can go
away and forget Tanner, and write
everything he has in Texas right
off the books, and never know the
difference! ”
Roper locked his hands behind his
head and stared at the ceiling.
Sometimes it seemed to him that
trying to break Tanner was like try-
ing to empty the Rio Grande with
a hand dipper. The apparently un-
bounded resources of Ben Thorpe in
the middle country and in the north,
out of reach of the south Texas war,
made up a vast reservoir which
Tanner could draw on without limit.
“How is Tanner himself making
out?”
“Bill, I’ve been all up and down
the north and east part of Texas;
and I can’t see where we’ve ac-
complished a damned thing.”
“You don’t know what you’re talk-
ing about!”
“You know what I think?” Wilce
persisted. “I think there’s more cat-
tle in this country than the world
has any use for. I don’t think you
can bother any man any more, just
by fooling with his cattle.”
“Never mind what you think.
Let’s have what you know.”
“I nosed around and tried to find
out what promises Tanner’s been
making for cattle on spring deliv-
eries. I didn’t learn everything. No-
body learns everything. But I got
enough to total up.”
Shoshone Wilce hesitated, and
didn’t say any more until he had
got a cigarette rolled. In the mid-
dle of rolling his cigarette he went
into a coughing fit, and spilled the
tobacco, so that he had to start over
again.
“Bill,” he said at last, “Cleve
Tanner’s going to drive more cattle
this year than he’s ever drove be-
fore. In just one bunch alone he
aims to deliver fifteen thousand head
on the banks of the Red!”
“He’s crazy!” Roper shouted. “He
can’t do it—it’s impossible!”
. “Well—he thinks he can. He

wear. There really is no material
that more faithfully holds its own
than handsome Irish linen. With
women of discriminating taste, fine
linen is a tradition, and now, be-
cause of scientific processing, the
new linens are rendered practically
non-wr inkable.
Aside from the practical view,
which ranks linen high because of
its complete washability, crease-
resistancy and adaptability to any
type of wearing apparel, style ex-
perts are suggesting linen because
of the beautiful colors in which it
may now be purchased.
A trend this season is the com-
bining of linen with another fabric.
You’ll see many linen dresses with
wool coats, lined and collared to
match the dress. Linen also may be
combined with silk or rayon prints
very effectively. Often a monotone
linen coat is lined with the print of a
matching frock. In these instances,
the linen used is one of the heavier,
sturdier weaves, either plain or
with self-plaid woven into the fabric.
A fashion highlight this season is
the newly styled longer jackets of
solid colored linen, worn over bright
gingham checks or printed cottons.
The attractive ensemble centered in
the photograph illustrates the idea.
The jacket, of deep green linen, is
cut as expertly and fits as suavely
as any painstakingly tailored wool.
It tops a black, white and green
checked dress which follows careful-
ly the lines of a classic shirtwaist
frock.
The use of linen in two-toned com-
binations is a this-season theme that
stresses the popular contrast-color
i ner, a little trickle of trail cattle
1 began to move toward the gather-
t ing grounds on the Red. The in-
come from these sales helped a lit-
! tie; but the proceeds were principal-
l ly absorbed by debts incurred in
behalf of the individual ranches. The
! improvement in his situation which
; Roper had hoped for did not come.
It was deep into March when Tex
Long quit.
“Look,” Tex Long said, “look.”
He did not talk easily; whatever
i he said was matter-of-fact, even
now. “I got to pull out of this
’ game.”
Bill Roper looked at him, without
, expression. “All right. How much
you figure I owe you?”
; Tex smiled. “Nothing.”
A very rare flush of anger came
into Bill Roper’s face. “Tex, what’s
the matter with you?”
Tex Long made a quick, futile
gesture with his hands. “We used
to be able to jump down on them.
We can’t do that now. The Bert
Johnson place is studded with ri-
fles until a man can’t take a step.
Every place you’ll find out it’s the
same. There isn’t going to be any-
thing more we can do. We went
good for a while. But they got or-
ganized, now. We’re through.”
Tex Long was only one of Bill
Roper’s picked gunfighters, but he
was one of the best. As March
drew on, Roper lost four more.
Into the Big Bend; into the valley
of the Nueces, Cleve Tanner had
flooded such a power of gunfighters
as Bill Roper would not have be-
lieved. He had supposed that he
could outplace and outsmart Tan-
ner’s warrior outfits. But now his
raiding forces met everywhere a
stubborn resistance.
Roper had discounted the quit of
Tex Long; but now other news was
coming in. The Graham outfit—the
first of all those that the Roper men
had taken—was again in the hands
of Cleve Tanner; and Nate Liggett,
assigned to protect Graham, had
headed for the tall without even a
report. Hat Crick Tommy was three
weeks missing. The Davis outfit,
left under his protection, had gone
the way of all loose outfits, and Tan-
ner’s cowboys rode the range.
Dry Camp Pierce was almost th?
last to come in—of those who came
in at all.
Pierce rode into the Pot Hook
Camp early in April. He was the
same, small wiry man he always
had been—his eyes watery, his jaws
poorly shaven.
“Bill, I can’t carry these camps
no more. God knows we strung
with you while we could. We’ve et
beef, beef, beef without salt or flour,
we’ve et bobcat meat. But Bill,
there’s no lead in our guns, and
there’s no patches in our pants,
and it’s time I got to let the boys
go, to make out any way they can.”
Bill Roper looked older than Dusty
King had ever looked; his face was
like granite, with hard lines cut into
it by the weather.
“Okay,” he said. “I understand
how you feel, Dry Camp.”
Dry Camp’s anger was gone as
quickly as it had come. “Bill,” he
said pleadingly, “it’s only—it’s on-
ly—”
“It’s only that you’ve had a lot of
men out working for us,” Bill Roper
said more reasonably.
“Near fifty men,” Dry Camp said.
“How many you got working
now?”
Dry Camp Pierce hesitated.
“Not a damned man,” Bill Roper
said bitterly. “And now you quit
Dusty King.”
“Look you here,” Dry Camp said.
“I’ve strung with you when I
wouldn’t have strung with any other
man, let alone an upstart kid. I’ll
say this for you—you’ve made a
game fight. But kid, take my word
for it—they’re too big, and they’re
too strong.”
“You think so?” Bill Roper said.
“I know so. I don’t know what
you had, made men like Lee Har-
nish and Dave Shannon and Nate
Liggett throw in with you, but they
did—the damnedest wild bunch Tex-
as ever seen. Half the renegades of
the Long Trail, and your part of
King-Gordon, has gone into beating
Cleve Tanner. And where are we
now?”
“Well?”
“We aren’t any place! Kid, I tel
you we’re beat, and we’re long
beat!”
April melted into May, and Roper
had nothing to fight with any more.
Those units of his wild bunch that
had not quit had not been heard
from at all; he knew already that
the ones who had completely failed.
Cleve Tanner prospered, seemingly;
and all was well with Ben Thorpe.
Bill Roper waited at the Pot Hook
now, trying to think of some way

Handknit Apparel Enjoys
Increase in Popularity
There is a large demand for hand-
knit apparel. Even the machine
knits have been brought to such a
point of perfection that they have
the handknit look. Dresses are so
expertly fashioned that they do not
miss any of the styling details that
give distinction to fabric treat-
ments.
Sweaters and cardigans abound in
unique trimmings, such as wool
yarn fringe, dangling tassels, em-
broideries and knitted skirts are now
made with pleats or gores.
Roosevelt has done in the whole na-
tional defense setup.
But there is another angle, and
one which will appeal tremendously
to any of the people who will now
work under Hopkins. At least they
will know, always, that their chief is
just about supreme—that nobody is
going to get in between their chief
and the President. Therefore, if
they can satisfy their own chief, they
are all right.
Everyone who has ever worked
in any big organization, whether it
be government or a corporation,
knows the tremendous value of this,
and knows that it makes for good
feeling and for efficiency.
DISCOURAGES FACTIONALISM
The point may well be raised that
perhaps, if he blunders enough, he
ought to be destroyed. That is the
other side of the picture, and it fits
with the Taber criticism. But at
least it has the virtue of pretty near-
ly eliminating the sort of factional-
ism which is so rampant in many
government branches and in many
corporations, where certain individ-
uals inside, hoping to advance their
own status by a change, play with
certain figures outside their imme-
diate group with the hope of ulti-
mately throwing their chief out the
window.
That sort of thing is rife in gov-
ernment offices. For some reason
connected with the frailties of hu-
man nature, being on the govern-
ment payroll seems to breed it. But
it is also true in many private en-
terprises, particularly those not run
by a “czar.” “Office politics” is
just as blighting in private employ-
ment as in the government.
No one has any doubt of the hold
Harry Hopkins has on the President.
He has taken the place so long occu-
pied in FDR’s heart by Louis Howe.
Actually he is much bigger, men-
tally, and in his breadth of vision
than Howe. Also he has more
friends, outside the Roosevelt circle.
It is \ questionable whether he has
anything like the political shrewd-/
ness of his predecessor. /
The winter dragged out slowly.
Roper’s plans, bold as they were,
had been well laid. He had per-
ceived from the first that success or
failure depended upon whether or
not he could make his war with
Tanner self sustaining. To gnaw
away at the Tanner herds was one
thing; to turn their captures into
cash was altogether another.
Roper had hoped that he could ini-
tiate his own drives to the north,
but he had found this out of the
question. On the other hand, the
trail drivers had found themselves
so vulnerable that none of them
wanted to buy cattle of questiona-
ble ownership.
The Thorpe-Tanner organization
did not have this problem; they took
what they wanted and drove what
they wanted, by means of their own
trail outfits. But Roper could now
only dispose of cattle for the trail
through ranchers known to be
scrupulous and established men.
This was the strategic purpose be-
hind Roper’s rehabilitation of the
eleven outfits which Tanner had orig-
inally seized, and which Roper had
now put back into the hands of their
proper owners. These re-established
ranchers had not only the sympathy
but the respect of everyone who
knew anything about Texas cattle.
Through these men Roper now had
a safe and sure outlet for the cattle
recovered by Dry Camp’s experts,
while the gunfighters under such
men as Nate Liggett, Tex Daniels,
and Hat Crick Tommy supplied a
much needed protection until they
could get on their feet.
But this method, promising as it
was, was slow. Of necessity the
men whom Roper backed were cow-
men without assets other than their
disputed claim to their ground.
Sometimes by mortgage loans, but
principally by silent partnerships,
Roper had now obtained interests
in nearly a dozen outfits. They
should have been thriving outfits.
But Roper found his money drain-
ing away with unforeseen swiftness,
without hope of any financial re-
turn until the trail should open in
the spring. Only the Mexican bor-
der operations, which depended upon
Lee Harnish, continued to show a
thin trickle of income through the
winter months. As spring ap-
proached, Roper found himself near
the end of his string.
Early in February, Shoshone
Wilce came south seeking Bill Rop-
er, and found him at the Pot Hook
ranch.
“Find out anything?” Roper
asked.
Shoshone Wilce rubbed his badly
shaved chin with horny fingers. “I
don’t know as you’re going to like
this so very good, Bill.”
“Let’s have the bad news first—I
eat it up.”
“God knows there’s enough of it;
there ain’t any other kind to be
had. What do you want to know
