Smart Fall Styles
That Are Flattering
UERE are two charming fash-
1 ■* ions with the crisp, slim-
waisted, very feminine look that
proves they are new and smart!
And you’ll notice that the sleeves
are proudly puffed up, not out—
they give height, not width, to the
shoulders. These two simple de-
signs, each accompanied by a de-
tailed sew chart, make it very.

very easy for you to have two
leading fashions of the coming
season at very little cost.
Two-Piecer With Jacket Blouse.
This charming fashion is ex-
tremely good this fall. It’s tailored
or dressy, according to the mate-
rials in which you make it up.
The skirt is slim and plain. The
jacket-blouse as youthful and be-
coming as it can be. For street,
make it of wool crepe, flannel or
faille. For afternoon, choose vel-
vet or broadcloth for the skirt;
satin, velvet or silver cloth for the
jacket blouse.
With Smart, Slenderizing Lines.
Notice that the front panel of
the skirt is cut in one with the
midriff section—that’s a smart de-
tail that you see in expensive mod-
els, and it’s excellent for large
women. You can trust the suave,
slick lines of this dress to make
you look several pounds slimmer.
It fits beautifully. Shoulder darts,
and gathers above the waistline,
ease it over the bust, without any
hint of bulkiness. Make this of
satin, silk crepe, velvet or sheer
wool, and you’ll like it better than
any dress you’ve had for a long
time.
The Patterns.
1477 is designed for sizes 14, 16,
Id, 20, 40 and 42. Size 16 requires
2 yards of 39 inch material for the
jacket-blouse; 2 yards for the
skirt.

Despite the fearsome thunderings of Adolf Hitler and Benito
Mussolini, a paradox of war-mad Europe is that the foes of
Germany and Italy have far superior military equipment.
Though Rome and Berlin may shout and boast, a cold anal-
ysis of comparative strength shows that the inevitable “allies”
can eventually defeat them in a war which might last as long
as two years.
This fact has long gone unnoticed. It was not brought out
until a few weeks ago when Germany opened her autumn
maneuvers and began looking with hostile eyes at little Czecho-
slovakia, whose Sudeten German minority has allegedly been
discriminated against.
Though Czechoslovakia herself is weak, though even Great
Britain has a surprisingly small armed force, the mighty power
of Russia and France is some-^

NERVOUS?
Do you feel so nervous you want to scream?
Are you cross and irritable? Do you scold
those dearest to you?
If your nerves are on edge and you feel
you need a good general system tonic, try
Lydia E. Pinkhara's Vegetable Compound,
made especially for women.
For over 60 years one woman has told an-
other how to go “smiling thru" with reliahle
Pinkham’s Compound. It helps nature build
up more physical resistance and thus helps
calm quivering nerves and lessen discomforts
from annoying symptoms which often ac-
company female functional disorders.
Why not give It a chance to help YOU?
Over one million women have written in
reporting wonderful benefits from Pinkham’s
Compound.

thing to be reckoned with. Rus-
sia cannot afford to throw her
entire weight against a Euro-
pean foe, because the threat of
Japan necessitates mainte-
nance of a good-sized force in
the Far East. But the Soviet
military machine is a wonder
of the modern world.
In her weakened condition
from the Chinese conflict,
Japan cannot be considered
an important factor in any
current European war. The
above figures on comparative mili-
tary strength — furnished by the
United States army and navy de-
partments—do not even list Japan’s
land forces for this reason. Tokyo’s
only power lies in whatever “nui-
sance value” she might provide in
Siberia to help her Fascist allies,
Germany and Italy.
U. S. by Comparison.
Figures on America’s military
power are provided only for com-
parative purposes. Though the
United States has abandoned her
policy of complete isolation, her
neutrality position is stronger than
it was in the World war, when
American aid was deemed neces-
sary to crush Germany’s imperial-
ism.
Thus the lineup of great powers
finds Germany and Italy on one
side, opposed by Great Britain,
France and Russia. Such European
countries as Jugo-Slavia, Rumania
and Hungary are minor factors.
Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Den-
mark and Finland have avowed
their intention of escaping compli-
cations.
Here, then, are the figures. In
actual army strength — including
standing forces, airmen and re-
serves—Russia, France and Great
Britain have 26,725,000 men. Italy
and Germany have less than half,
or 10,725,000.
Great Britain’s navy is alone big-
ger than the combined fleets of Italy
and Germany, whose tonnage is
1,107,032. Britain’s 1,758,478 tons,
plus 699,342 tons from France,
makes an opposition force of 2,457,-
820 tons. Some of this naval equip-
ment will not be ready to use for
several months, but the actual ratio
at the present time is about the
same.
In air strength, the "allies” have
15,400 planes, while Germany and
Italy together have 11,500.
A Week or a Year.
It is interesting, though admitted-
ly horrifying, to contemplate how
long a general European conflict
could continue. Several years ago
the Italian general staff made the
that the next
distance guns and other fiendish
implements of Mars.
But the theory has not been borne
out in the three conflicts the world
has seen these past five years. It-
aly’s campaign to capture Ethiopia
lasted an amazingly long time, con-
sidering the crude type of opposition
offered by Haile Selassie’s forces
And in China the Japs have met
with similar resistance. Shanghai
was not captured overnight by a
terrific bombing attack; the cam-
paign lasted closer to five months.
The most striking example of
modern warfare is in Spain, where
two powerful forces are fighting
their battles along tactics similar
to those used in the World war. Ma-
drid was bombed hundreds of times
and still found itself able to hold
out against Generalissimo Franco’s
rebel troops.
Thus, militarists of 1938 are of the
opinion that warfare has not
changed much in the past 20 years.
As in the World war, the doughboy
is the most vital factor in land con-
flict. A similar comparison can be
made on the sea, where the battle-
ship is still the backbone of the
fleet despite mighty naval planes.
“Ersatz” to the Fore.
Perhaps the major difference be-
tween 1918 and 1938 is that gold is
not now so important. The “allies”
have behind them a gold reserve
almost 30 times the value of that of
Germany and Italy, but the latter
two countries now boast of their
RIGHT—How France and Ger-
many face each other with their
amazing Maginot and Siegfried
lines. BELOW—Czech soldiers,

ry, stand ready to defend their na-

C. Houston Goudiss Describes Diet After
Middle Age; Shows How Right Food
Can Prolong the Vigorous Years
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
/^\ NE of the best prescriptions ever offered for longevity was
v J advanced by the wise man who said: In the twenties,
prepare for the thirties; in the thirties, prepare for the forties;
and after that—prepare for a long and vigorous old age!
That advice is well worth following, for it has been esti-
mated that by taking into account all the newer knowledge of
nutrition, it is possible not3>---.
amount of exercise. Get enough
sleep so that you avoid that chron-
ic “tired feeling.” Above all, eat
enough, bat not too much, of
the foods that build and maintain
health: milk; eggs; fruits and
vegetables; protein foods in
amounts just sufficient to meet
your requirements, so that there
is no excess to be eliminated;
enough fuel foods to give you plen-
ty of pep anti power, but not in
amounts (hat will cause the
weight increase which many peo-
ple erroneously believe inevitable
during the middle years.
only to improve health, but to
add a number of years to the
normal life span.
chemists who can manufacture “er-
satz” or substitute materials of war.
These products relieve them of
some worry in the event of block-
ade, but there are certain essen-
tials—like oil and cotton—which ev-
ery nation must have to carry on
successful warfare.
The discouraging inevitability of
war has been growing in Europe’s
consciousness for five years, and
out of that inevitability have arisen j
new methods of defense unparal- |
leled in history. England, which is ■
especially invulnerable to modern j
aircraft, has developed her “ARP”
(air raids precaution) program to j
the point where almost every man, j
woman and child knows how to han-
die a gas mask. She has built bomb-
proof and gas-proof cellars with fe- I
verish haste, constructed new coast ;
defenses and trained expert anti- j
aircraft gunners.
But these precautions are minor
compared to those of France, Ger-
many and Czechoslovakia with
their amazing “lines.” Between 1929 j
and 1936, France employed 15,000 j
men to construct the Maginot line, j
a series of underground fortifies- j
tions which extend from Belgium to
Switzerland, aimed to protect the
country against invasion from Ger-
many.
When the September crisis first
broke, France rushed hundreds of
thousands of men into this line and
Germany answered by hastening
work on a similarly startling series
of fortifications, the Siegfried line. .
A Man Is as Young as He Feels
It has been well said that “the
age of man has small relation to
his years,” for it
has been demon-
strated, both clin-
ically and in the
scientist’s labora-
tory, that old age
is a physiological
condition rather
than an accumula-
tion of years.
In grandmother’s
day, a woman of
50 was considered
o!tl. Today that age
is regarded as young, and much
of the important work of the world
is being done by men and women
who can see 50 only by looking
over their shoulder.
Importance of Correct Diet
On the other hand, thousands of
Americans are unknowingly im-
pairing (heir efficiency and short-
ening their lives through the mis-
use of food. They are eating the
wrong kind of food—and what is
equally disastrous—they are over-
eating! They do not seem to real-
ize that eating too much does not
strengthen the body, hut exhausts
it with the labors of digestion.
The surplus nourishment clogs the
system and may be indirectly re
sponsible for headache, dyspep-
sia, biliousness and mental dullness.
Unless they change their habits
of eating, they will inevitably be-
come victims of their own indis-
cretions For while it is folly to
neglect the health at any age. to
do so in middle life is to open
Curb the Appetite for Rich Foods
It is most important to avoid
overeating. For muscular activi-
ty decreases with the passing
years. The middle aged individ-
ual often rides where a younger
person might walk or observes ac-
tive sports from the sidelines
where he formerly played them
with zeal. Unfortunately, how-
ever, the appetite seldom dimin-
ishes in proportion to the lessened
fuel needs. That is why every
individual who has entered upon
the middle years should check his
or her weight frequently, and
promptly reduce the fuel foods if
a significant gain is noted.
The protein requirement dimin-
ishes somewhat after the age of 60
for no new tissue is being built.
It is, furthermore, advisable to
take a large share of the protein
in the form of milk and eggs.
Vegetables should be used free-
ly and if there is difficulty in mas-
tication, they may be finely
chopped. Fresh fruits may be
eaten as long as they do not cause
fermentation; otherwise cooked
fruits should be used instead Con-
• rnry to popular opinion, sweets
can frequently be eaten in con-
.. . , , .. . siderable amounts without eaus-
Keep Down the Weight
The first 25 years of man's life
are devoted to growth. During
tins period of youth, the body usu-
ally has a large fund of reserve
energy which can be called upon
in times of stress During the next
25 or 30 years, the weight should
remain constant. If the diet is
properly regulated, and sound
habits of hygiene are followed, a
man or woman will come into
middle age full of vigor and with
mental and physical capacities
undiminished.
Unfortunately, however, the
laws of hygiene and nutrition are
often broken during the active
middle years. As a result, bodily
reserves are depleted and middle
age finds many men and women
near the danger line, no longer
able to resist infections and the
degenerative diseases.
That is why it is so desirable—
if you hope to be vigorous at 50
and after—that you begin to plan
for it many years earlier.
Live sensibly. Avoid overwork.
Regularly take a moderate
Hoi Foods Beneficial
Hot foods are often more easily
digested than cold, and it is help-
ful to begin a meal with hot broth,
in order to stimulate the secretion
of digestive fluids. A hot bever-
age may also be beneficial at bed-
time.
It is sometimes observed that
five or six small meals are more
easily digested than three large
ones. Each person should discov-
er what meal schedule best suits
individual requirements and then
abide by it. For it is indeed true
j that middle age—and the years
beyond—are largely what yon
make them!
Questions Answered
Mrs. J. A. H.—Milk, fruits and
vegetables supply a large part,
but not all of the minerals re-
quired by the body daily. The diet
must be supplemented with whole
grain bread or cereals, eggs and
some meat.

nr HIS mat is made of white cot-

at the notion counter for corded
seams and trimmings. The orig-
inal mat from which this design
was taken was made of—no one of
this generation would ever guess
what! Corset strings. These were
once a common commodity along
with collar boning, hat pins and
side combs. There was quite a
fad for making luncheon sets of
them braided or arranged in va-
rious designs and sewn with fine
Stitches on the wrong side.
The design shown here is com-
pact and, copied in rather heavy
cord, makes an ideal hot dish mat.
Follow the sketches for directions.
Make the circles in pairs, as
shown, using No. 40 cotton thread
to sew them. Braid three cords
• and then sew the braided
braided row, being careful to
“ease in” the inside edge just
enough to keep the mat flat. Con-
tinue adding alternate rows of cir-
cles and braiding until the mat is
the size desired.
To join the ends of the braided
rows, pull one end through the
braiding to the wrong side of file
mat; then trim the ends and,sew
them flat. It is not too early to
