Sleuth Hadn't Cone Far
Before Solution Came
The great detective crawled
about the scene of the crime,
sharply peering here and there.
But he could find nothing to help
him to a solution of the mystery.
No footprints, no shred of torn
cloth. Not even a cigarette end.
And then, after the third time
he had been over the room, his
patience was rewarded. He came
upon a button. Carefully he picked
it up, put it into an envelope,
tucked the envelope into an inside
pocket, and as he slowly rose to
his feet, remarked: "X have the
key to the solution!"
But even before he was fully
erect, the truth dawmed on him—
his trousers began to sag.

ASPIRIN’S Fast
relief from muscular
pains
The quick modern way fo
ease headache, and neuritic
and rheumatic pain.
We feature the fact that Bayer As-
pirin costs only lc a tablet, to drive
home the point that there’s no
reason even for the most budget-
minded person to accept anything
less than genuine fast-acting Bayes
Aspirin.
For at the most, it costs but a
few pennies to get hours of relief
from the pains of neuritis, rheuma-
tism or headache ... and get it with
the speedy action for which Bayct
Aspirin is world famous.
Try this way once and you’ll
know almost instantly why people
everywhere praise it. It has rapidly
replaced expensive “pain remedies’’
in thousands of cases.
Ask for genuine
‘‘Bayer Aspirin” by
its full name when you
buy . .. never ask for
"aspirin" alone.

WEEKLY NEWS ANALYSIS BY JOSEPH W. LalilNE
U. S. Ships May Be Registered
Under European Neutral Flags
In Effort to Circumvent Law

j MARITIME:
Neutrality
[ Having fought for and having won
| “cash and carry” neutrality, the
United States promptly sought ways
| to ciicumvent it. While American
vessels and seamen loafed along the
j waterfronts, crafty minds were
j thinking up at least two ways of
maintaining maritime traffic despite
I neutrality: (1) chartering foreign
! ships, a perfectly legal method used

Germany,” In 72 hours 11 ships
were sunk, one a British destroyer. I
Britain, for her part, sank two Nazi
merchantmen and a U-boat.
The week’s most thought-provok-
ing news dispatch came from John
T. Whitaker of the Chicago Daily
News, who cabled from Rome that
Der Fuehrer’s position looked des-
perate. Said Whitaker: Hitler had
indecisively retreated after massing
troops on the Belgian-Dutch fron-
tier; he can pierce the Maginot line
only by wasting a million men; he
can’t break the British blockade;
Scandinavia opposes him, and a
strike at the Balkans will bring
down the wrath of Russia and Italy,
each of which “has his measure.”
Conclusion: “He finds, for the first
time . . . that the cards are not
stacked against his immediate foe.
And as he delays, confusion and de-
featism are inevitable at home . .
Finlandia
MINISTER BRENNAN
The President sympathized
by Black Diamond Lines, Inc.; (2)
registering U. S. ships with other
nations, also legal but carrying a
few potentially unpleasant implica-
tions.
With its next meeting still a week
away, the maritime commission was
almost certain to refuse requests for
transfer of some 90 U. S. vessels
to Central or South American regis-
try. When the idea was first
broached, President Roosevelt sup-
ported it. Later, after getting a lec-
ture from Secretary of State Cor-
dell Hull, he told reporters that the
more he thought about it, the more
convinced he became that it wasn’t
right. Reason: It would place sister
American republics in a neutrality
position different from our own.
Loud as the complaints of Ameri-
can ship owners were those of lesser
European neutrals whose thriving
U. S. commerce was stopped by the
neutrality law. Two loudest objec-
tors were Eire and Belgium. The
former sent its minister, Robert
Brennan, to tell the state depart-
ment that Eire should be excluded
from the “combat zone” be-
cause she is neutral and will re-
main so; because Eire needs U. S.
products; because Eire doesn’t be-
lieve U. S. ships would be endan-
gered visiting her ports. Be gium
sent her Ambassador Count Robert
Van Der Straten-Ponthoz to inquire
about transferring U. S. ships to Bel-
gian registry.
Certainly, commented the Presi-
dent, objections to Latin-American
transfers wouldn't prevail in the
case of European neutrals like Ire-
land. It was a pretty safe guess,
therefore, that U. S. ships may soon
sail under European flags.
EUROPE:
T he IFar
Leaving Moscow without cus-
tomary diplomatic formalities,
Finnish conferees returned to Hel-
singfors where awaiting officials al-
ready knew they had refused to
grant Russian demands. Immedi-
ately the Soviet press began a with-
ering anti-Finnish campaign which
could only be a prelude to armed
action. First, Moscow’s Pravda
claimed Finland was on the brink
of economic ruin, but Helsingfors
quietly replied the Finns could get
along. Next, the Soviet news
agency, Tass, accused Finnish
riling circles of fostering anti-Rus-
sian policy. Helsingfors answered
by announcing there would be no
resumption of conversations.
CRIME:
O’ Har e-Capone
Who killed Cock Robin was never
a greater mystery than who killed
Edward J. O’Hare, Chicago race-
track owner whose assassination in
early November set off the biggest
gangland witchhunt since Alphonse
Capone went to prison in 1932. Rea-
sons; The murder came just before
Capone was released, and O'Hare
was known to have associations with
Capone. Two theories to date:
(1) That O’Hare, as interim man-
ager of the Capone gambling syndi-
cate, was "rubbed out" because he
refused to turn back the reins when
“Scarface Al” was to be released.
(2) That O’Hare was slain by dis-
senting Capone mobsters who feared
he would return the reins to Scar-
face Al.
The deeper federal and city in-
vestigators probed the mystery, the
more complex it became. The more
embarrassing, too, especially for
one Judge Eugene J. Holland of Chi-
cago municipal court, who was asso-
ciated with O’Hare in a real estate
enterprise. Officials wondered if
there could be any connection be-
tween this and the fact that only 28
of the 12,624 Chicago gambling cases
'T'HIS is a season of elegancies
-*■ and niceties such as bespeak
gracious-lady fashions. One of the
surest signs that the luxury note is
being sounded is the lavish use de-
signers are making of rich embroid-
ery and other fastidious surface dec-
orations, such as intricate applique
design, exquisite beadwork and re-
splendent sequin embellishment,
also (very important is the news)
latest costume collections declare
the revival of handsome old-fash-
ioned, now new-fashioned, passe-
menterie.
Been treasuring for years a bit of
precious passementerie that adorned
grandmother’s wedding gown, or
perhaps her best Sunday-go-to-mect-
ing dress? Now’s the big moment
to bring it out. If it is just a single
ornament, applique it near your
heart on your smartest blouse or
frock and it will serve as effective-
ly as a jewelry gadget. If it’s two
motifs of a kind you’ve hoarded, one
atop each sleeve will bring infinite
style prestige to your best gown.
Embroidery is wielding its magic
in every direction, enhancing with
gaily decorated sleeves afternoon
gowns of silk crepe’, sheer wool or
velvet, electrifying the formal eve-
ning gown with resplendent glitter-
ing note, adding intrigue to sports
sweaters with yarn-worked posies,
stressing the sumptuous trend in
formal evening sweaters (now so
stylish) with all sorts of dazzling
gadgetry.
Speaking from the accessory
standpoint, ornate with embroidery
will your gloves and your handbag
be this year, your mittens and your
scarf, your wide corset-like girdle
and even your chapeau will not be
immune from the epidemic of em-
broidery.
The charming gold tissue lame
evening gown to the left in the pic-
ture will, no doubt, prove one of
the loveliest that goes to parties dur-
ing the winter social season. It
subscribes to the embroidery vogue
in that the cunning little gray lida
cloth jacket that is worn with it is
embroidered with sequins and gold
cord.
It’s a gay and very formal sweat-
er that you see portrayed in the
oval inset. The sweater is of sheer-
knit fuchsia wool, tuned to evening
formality with embroidery worked
with sparkling gold sequins in a leaf
pattern.
A foremost topic in fashion cir- j
cles is the floor-length evening coats |
made of handsome wool material.
See centered in the group a gor-
geous affair styled of red broad-
cloth enhanced with massive gold
applique done in gold kid with em-
broidered accents.
And now comes the climax of our
story—the allover embroidered day-
time coat! When Jane Alden, Chi-
cago stylist, flew back from Paris
following a week-end to week-end
flight she arrived just as you see
her pictured to the right in the il-
lustration. Her hurried trip was
made to work out special styles :vith
Madame Bruyere of the Maison
Bruyere, for use in her talks be-
fore the Four-H clubs throughout
the United States. She stepped out
of the plane wearing a dark green
kid hat, in a snail design, with
matching kid gaiters, a black dress
of the new one-side fringed apron
type and an allover-embroidered
gray coat by Bruyere. You sense
the exquisite detail of the coat at
first glance, and you are at once
impressed with its quiet elegance.
The embroidery reflects consum-
mate art in its refined handling and
although it is done in an allover
patterning the effect is smartly con-
servative and practical because of
the soft gray coloring of the em-
broidery that blends into the back-
ground in perfect symphony.

Jewelry Vogue Is
For Diamonds Now
Diamonds have entered a new era
of popularity, both as jewelry and
as personal possessions of marketa-
ble value. In several style shows
recently staged many of the mani-
kins wore this sparkling type of jew-
elry in preference to the spectacular
gold effects.
New ear-rings from a noted Paris
house are called “opposites,” in that
one earring is a diamond flower set
with sapphires, the other a sapphire
surrounded by diamonds. Which do
you wear in which ear? Well, that
makes no difference, but to have a
touch of sapphire blue repeated in
your dress somewhere scores high
in allure.
Diamonds can be worn for day or
evening. One fine piece such as a
brooch or a clip can be used on
the coat lapel, at the neckline of a
dress, at the center of the velvet
neckband or even in the coiffure.
COURTS:
5 to 4
Only two years have passed since
Franklin Roosevelt sent the senate
his first nominee to the Supreme
court—Alabama’s Sen. Hugo L.
Black. Since then, one by one, have
come Liberal Stanley Reed, Liberal
Felix Frankfurter and Liberal Bill
Douglas. With only four Roosevelt
appointees, the nine-man court was
still theoretically anti-New Deal.
This month died Justice Pierce
Butler, 73-year-old conservative, a
Catholic from Minnesota. When his
successor is named, the New Deal
will have an undisputed liberal ma-
jority which will last at least an-
other generation. Among possible
successors observers listed another
midwest Catholic, Michigan’s Frank
Murphy.
The knitter who is thinking in
terms of Christmas presents for her
friends will do well to take note of
this winsome breakfast jacket. You
can make it in no time, for it is
knitted in an easy effective drop
stitch.
Dame Fashion Now
Goes Star Gazing
It’s star gazing we will be en-
joying this winter, for the latest is
star-shaped nailheads and sequins,
scattered over bags, snoods, gloves,
dresses and wherever spangled ef-
fects adorn. Silk prints with star
| patternings are also shown.
Leather Important
In Style Picture
It has come to the point that suede
is regarded as important a medium
for wearing apparel and fetching
accessories as any fabric might be.
The loveliest suede items imagina-
ble are being turned out—hats, bags,
dresses, coats, bolero jackets, tai-
lored classic jackets, and so on.
Seeing that suede brings into the
fashion picture a wealth of color un-
surpassed, small wonder is it that it
has come to be considered “tops”
in fashion. Leather trappings on
wool sports togs include smart
leather buttons, stitched applique of
leather, leather bindings, belts and
an endless list of the uses of leather
too numerous to mentior
Gone like sudden sunshine on a
cloudy day was the Belgian-Dutch
effort to make peace between Hitler
and the allies. And after the sun
came threats of rain, for it ended
the last hope of armistice. There
was still much saber rattling, such
as Winston Churchill’s speech call-
ing Der Fuehrer a “cornered
maniac,” but the foes were ready
to start slaughtering.
Sea and air warfare went ahead
precipitously. One day Berlin an-
nounced (by inference) that hence-
forth all British-French merchant-
men would be torpedoed. Reason:
They’re all armed. Next day, after
a successful but pointless air attack
on the Shetland islands. Berlin
warned it would “show the British
what it means to be at war with
Breakfast Jacket
JUDGE HOLLAND
Embarrassed,
handled by Judge Holland in the
past 15 months had resulted in con- j
victions.
Two days before Capone’s myste-1
rious release in Philadelphia, a 21-
year-old named Russell Stoddard
was held by Los Angeles police after j
a mysterious stabbing. Not only did
he claim to be a former O’Hare I
bodyguard, but officials found in his
possessions a letter indicating that
Stoddard knew who killed O’Hare.
