In Weak Bid to Oust Fascists

Spain
Germany and Italy would not
have aided Rebel Spain if they had
no aspirations in the Iberian penin-
sula. Nor, presumably, would
Rebel General Francisco Franco
have accepted Fascist aid if he did
not expect to repay that favor.
These simple facts are being ig-
nored by France and Britain, who
now hope to woo the Rebels away
from their Rome-Berlin connections
to make a peace which would save
the defeated Loyalist cause. It is
hoped thereby to end the war im-
mediately, giving General Franco a
partial victory when he could
achieve a complete victory through

a few more weeks’ fighting on the
Madrid-Valencia front.
The likelihood of a complete Loy-
alist surrender is evidenced by an
apparent breakdown in morale,
coupled with internal squabbling.
An army of 200.000 government
troops allowed itself to be routed
out of Catalonia. Next day Loyalist
President Manuel Arana plumped
for unconditional surrender while
Premier Juan Negrin boasted he
would continue fighting. Mean-
while. in southeastern Spain. Loyal-
ist Gen. Jose Miaja was a virtual
dictator in his own right, ignoring
both Serors Arana and Negrin.
Whether he wanted to surrender or
continue fighting was anybody's
guess.
Britain and France could hardly
expect General Franco to jump at a
peace offer from such badly-tattered
opposition, but they did. It was
reliably reported that Anglo-French
interests were offering to supply
funds for reconstructing Spam if
Franco would oust German and
Italian influence. So anxious were
the British that they sent a cruiser
to carry Rebel Spain's envoy to the
Loyalist island of Minorca, where
a surrender was asked and won.
In return for these gestures. Gen-
eral Franco offered little to the two
great European democracies who
refused him recognition until all
Loyalist hope was gone His prom-
ise: To remove foreign troops,
which dees not necessarily mean,
removal of foreign influence. Ex-
pected daily is recall f the old
Bourbon dynasty to Spain's throne.
Probable ruler will be big. sport-
lovir.g Prince Jaime, net a sufferer
from haemophilia (bleeding, like so
many Bourbons. Highly grateful to
the man who restored his throne.
Prince Jaime would be more than
willing to let Genera! Franco rule
as premier, a la Mussolini.

Within 13 days :! a pipe's death,
the Sacred College of Cardinals
must meet in Fre e to elect his
successor. Locked in secret con-
clave a: the Vat: ran. during late
February end eaniy March, these
princes of the F.oman Catholic
church well name a successor to the
late Pete Pius XI Attesting to the
futility cf prediction was the last
election, on February 6. 1922. when
Pius—only r.une mirths a cardinal
—was elevated over the heads of
many more favored candidates.
Favored candidate this time is
Cardinal Eugenio Pace'.!:, papal sec-
s s t m-
porary pope during the interim be-
tween Pius' death and the election
of bus successor. Trough he con-
fesses a longing to lead the con-
templative life of a monk, Cardinal
Paceiii has the excellent record cf
papai diplomat that qualifies him
for the job of pope in a year like
1939.
Only stumbling block to Cardinal
Pace'di's election, is the growing be-
lief that a non-Italian might make
more headway in settling the cur-
rent European turmoil. Though the
position traditionally goes to an, Ital-
ian. it is recalled that in 1922 the
Spanish Cardinal Merry del Yal led
early balloting.
Great Britain
Last January 13 the British for-
eign office received a mysterious
••ultimatum” demanding withdraw-
al of English troops from Ireland
within four days. Three days later
bombs began exploding throughout
the British Isles and between subse-
quent explosions Scotland Yard was
able to place responsibility w.tfc the
! illegal Irish Republican army. While
first arrests were being made and
| special guards were assigned to the
| king and queen. Irish Prime Minis-
ter Eamon de Valera found occasion
j to regret the incident.
Far from a terrorist, Mr. de Va-
lera has won amazing concessions
for Ireland by using much gentler
tactics than the extremist Republi-
: can army advocates. Today Ireland
1 is known as Eire, having become an
I independent state associated with
the British commonwealth only for
certain minor purposes. British
overiordship is gone except for far
North Ulster, which is largely Er.g-
j lish Protestant as opposed to the
Irish Catholicism of southern Ire-
land. Mam purpose behind the Re-
publican army is British withdrawal
from Ulster. Mr. de Valera also
wants this but he believes m sar.er
. tactics.
While soothing London's nerves by
■ asking laws to crush the illegal
army. Mr. de Valera probably found
himself blushing with embarrass-
ment when P. T. Kelly, an independ-
ent senator, arose to ‘ regret that
the ultimatum sen: by the Republi-
can army to the British foreign sec-
retary had not been sent bv the
Irish government.”
Relief
It is paradoxical that this year's
anti-administrator, congress should
be the first to admit that federal
relief is a permanent fixture. But
this does not mean that the White
House and Capitol Hill are agreed
on how relief should be handled.
No sooner had the nation recovered
from the shock of congress' inde-
pendence tr. slashmg 515*1 ICO.000
I from the relief deficiency bill, than
' relief again pepped into the head-
Ur.es:
•Emergency.’ As President Rccse-
I velt signed the reduced deficiency
j appropriation he begged congress to
restore the S150.00C.CCO Reason:
"In my opinion ar. emergency r.ow
exists." The President said WPA's
alternatives are (11 to slash 1,000.-
C00 reliefers from the rolls by April
1 or (2) to oust from 1.5CO.OCO to
2.000.000 via week-by-week reduc-
tions from April 1 to July 1. Since
each WPA client presumably has
dependents, the President thought
j it was contrary to "human cecer.-
: cy" to leave from 4.000,000 to 3.CC0,-
: 000 Americans stranded.
•ERA.' Tr.e house received a bill
from Virginia's CUftcn A. Woodram
which would completely upset the
administration's reUef apple cart,
creating ‘UR-V (unemployment re-
Uef administration'. Tr.e bill's light-
ly-camouflaged purpose is to give
congress complete voice over re-
Uef. hamstringing the White House.

V EW YORK —At the old beanery
- ’ for the hired help in the New
York World building, a few years
ago, there was quite a stir and
stew of ambi-
Dream Book ;>or.. Swapping
Came Through dreams one
As Advertised Maxwe., Ander-
son was going to
write a Flay; Louis Weitzenkorn had
the same idea; big. jovial Phil Stong
had written 16 novels, to the quite
considerable indifference of all pub-
lishers. but Mr Stong said all this
was post a Lttle practice workout
and he promised to deliver later on.
Swarthy, saturnine James Cain
thought he might have the making
of a book or two in his system, but
said little about it. Young, whippy
Dudley Nichols, a dem.cn reporter,
trained as an engineer, had a writ-
ing career neatly blue-printed. Paul
Sifton, burned up by social Injus-
tice, was going to write a few plays
and tear the lid off things in gen-
eral. Ben Burman. whom Phil Stong
could carry around m his pocket,
was going to be a bell-ringmg nov-
elist.
A kindly Destiny presided over
the old beanery. The above play-
wrights, novelists and Holly-
wood big shots probably could
have bought the then sinking
world with their collective re-
sources of today—although Mr.
Sifton. after pulling two or three
lurid Broadway plays, now is
sank voluntarily in the some-
what nndramatic federal wage
board, as its assistant director.
The spot news of this chronicle is
that Mr. Burman has been honored
with the Southern Authors award for
his recently published novel. "Blow
for a Landing.” Thus is the highest
literary award in the gift ^ of the
South, in which non-ficticr. also was
judged. His previous books include
"Steamboat Round the Bend.”
which became Will Rogers' last
screen play, and several other Mis-
sissippi yams. He has more or
less cf a personal copyright on river
tales.
Mr. Burman once told me how his
dream was almost sidetracked. He
quit the World, to become an author
—with no luck. and. at long last,
only a dime. The fragrance of fresh-
ly baked buns in a shop window de-
throned ros reason and he shot the
dime for four buns. Back in his
garret he found a letter from a
magazu-.e. saying they liked bus
"Minstrels of the Mist," which they
had had for months, and which he
had given up as lost. Would he
ccme up and consult them on a mi-
ner change? He would, but lacked
carfare
He bid seen a pretty girl in a
nearby studio. He didn't know
her. but he told her his troubles.
She was similarly situated, but
staked him to three two-cent
stamps. He raised a nickel on
them at a stationery store, saw
the editor and got not only a
check, but a big hand on his
story.
And. naturally, he returned
and married the pretty girl, who
thereafter illustrated his books
as they traversed, not only his
pet river, but Damascus, the Sa-
hara desert, Bagdad and other
such mother-lodes of literary
raw material.

Beauty Aids
Not Intended
For Children
By PATRICIA LINDSAY
Tk/TANY mothers write asking
A'X such questions as these:
‘‘Do you believe in permanent
waves for young children?"
"My child has a very pale face.
When she goes to parties should I
rouge her cheeks?”
Slv young daughter likes colored
nail polish. She is only nine. Should
I let her wear it?"
And once in a while I get a
question which makes me gasp—"I
want my child, who is now five
years old. to have a perfect com-
plexion when she grows up. Should
I give her a facial once a week at
a beauty parlor?"
Of course, my answer to all of
those questions is "No—Definitely
no!"
A child should be allowed to grow
into an adult, unhampered. Her ten-
der hair can be ruined with intense
heat and harmful lotions: her skin
can be marred for life by creams
which were made for aging beauty,
not virgin beauty; and how horrible
to look at a young child with lac-
quered nails or rouged cheeks!
If you wish your child to grow
into a beauty be watchful over the
fundamentals of a healthy body and
mind. See that she is fed the foods
that will nourish her. Foods that
will strengthen her tuny bones and
teeth. Foods that will keep her skin
fresh as a dew-kissed petaL
Brush the darling's hair regular-
ly. away from the scalp with a brush
that is kept sterilized and used for
her very own Keep her scalp clean,
free from r3sh.es and dandruff. Try
to discover a natural wave in her
hair, and press it between your fin-
gers while it is damp to encour-
age its curl.
Self Neglect
Never Justified
What mother failed to do was
this. She neglected herself in or-
der to shower daughter with much-
much she didn't need. When daugh-
ter was at the going-out age. she
saw other mothers who were at-
tractive. who could speak on current
topics and books, who were more or
less companionable to their own
daughters'. By comparison her
mether fell short. Didn’t she? Yes,
the doting mother failed to keep
modem. Her offspring outshines
her.
What these disappointed mothers
should do. now that their daughters
have grown, is to spend much more
time thinking about themselves!
Buy some new clothes, get a new
hair-do and a few beauty treatments
—if the budge: will stand for them
by crossing out daughter's ordinary
provisions! Those will restore self-
respect.
To restore self-assurance get ac-
tive in something, preferably local,
which will bring you out of the
home into social activity. Read
bocks, magazines, go to movies. De-
velop a personality—because you
have drowned yours in your daugh-
ter's. Don't blame her. She is
your.g ar.d youth is ruthless! Win
your own self esteem back and it
will not be long before people will
be saying. "Alice should be attrac-
tive and talented, just look at her
mother!"

HIN'T-OF-THE-DAY
Be Kind to Tender Skins
Plain soap and water is the most
reliable of all skin cleansers, but
there are some skins that do not
react satisfactorily to this method
of cleaning.
Some women find that when they
use soap ar.d water on the face there
is a tendency to dryness ar.d itch-
ing. Sometimes a slight rash will
appear for a day or so.
Women whose skins react in this
manner should avoid standing under
the shower, and even for the tub
bath it is advisable to cover the
face and neck with a cream or vase-
line. A generous coat of vaseline
will repel all steam ar.d water.
Wnen soap ar.d water are used, it
should be at a time when there is
r.o irritation. The water should be
tepid, never hot.
Use a wash cloth or complexion
brusn to wash well around the nose
and mouth, a3 well as the face ar.d
neck. After a few moments re-
move the soap with cool water
rinsing, cover the face and r.eck with
a towel ar.d pat dry.
Tr.er. apply a good smooth cleans-
ing cream—or.e with a good oil base,
ar.d never the vanishing cream,
which often .-.as an alkali or soap
case. After rerr.v the cleansing
cream, u3e a good tissue cream.
Eighteenth Century Ice Cream
The famous Josiah Wedgwood,
English ceramic maker cf the
Eighteenth century, listed ‘‘ice
cream cups again and again on
his price cards, showing that even
m that day this dessert was known.
In fact, a recipe for making it was
dated 1669. Fruits, sugar, and
cream combined were placed in ar.
earthen pot, packed with ice and
"much salt." ar.d frozen, much as
we freeze ice cream. Washington,
Jeffers;.-., ar.d Madison are known
to have served it at social functions
in this country by the end of the
Eighteenth century.

OLMSTEAD FALLS. OHIO.-Fa-
ther's unemployment was fortunate
instead of tragic for the William
Crowley family—they now have a
thriving home industry which is
profitable for all.
Crowley, temporarily without a
job, decided to spend his time to
some advantage and began experi-
menting with creating plaster fig-
ures. H.s studio was the family ga-
rage and his chief assistant, daugh-
ter Evelyn, who was convalescing
from pneumonia. E:gh»een-vear-old
Evelyn sketched the Crowley dog
and other animals ar.d her father
followed the sketches in making his
figurines.
Labor Is Divided.
Then the rest of the family joined
forces.
"Here is the division of labor,"
Crowley explained.
"Evelyn makes the preliminary
sketch. I do the plaster carving and
molding. 13-year-old William Jr. is
responsible for the casting, aided by
Charles, who is 11. and Mrs. Crow-
lev paints the figures. Eight-year-
cid Bob takes care of the jars and
brushes. Our three dogs and three
cats pose as models.”
He said the family has perfected
a durable composition for statues
ar.d a washable finish, but the for-
mulas for both processes are se-
cret.
"In less than a year in business
we have sold more than 2,000 novel-
ty art objects to shops in Cleveland
and other cities, including Berea, j
Fairview, Ashtabula and Elyria. We
have also sold some objects to Buf-
falo stores.” Crowley said.
Comic Figures Made.
“The objects range from statues
of Washington and Lincoln to comic
cowboy figures.
“As for our factory, it has ex-
panded until it includes the garage,
furnace room and the summer
kitchen."
He added that he is employed
again, but he spends all his spare
time working at home.
"Give up the business because I
have a job again? No, I wouldn’t
think of doing that," he said.
"There are too many interesting
things to find out about this line to
give it up.”
Faithful Clock Is Voted
‘Pension’ by Town Board
WISCONSIN RAPIDS.—Tne old
town clock here has outlasted an
economy move and now ticks into
its declining years with assistance .
of a $10 a month pension.
The common council voted the $10
a month over protests of aldermen
who would have abandoned the
clock after 46 years of service in
the tower of the city library, for-
merly the city hall.
The old timepiece is a weight-
wind clock and for the las: 14 years
kept the time without repair service
of any sort. Recently an expert re-
pairer the clock and charged 542 50.
Tne service charge roused advo-
cates of economy, who said that
$120 a year for clock repair was
too much compared to 542.50 in 15
years, and. besides, the clock was
Fretty old.
The objections were beaten down
by aldermen who asserted that a
clock which gave good service for
46 years shouldn’t be abandoned for
a few dollars.
Tr.ey voted the $10 monthly as a
"special pension" with which to hire
a special attendant to oil, repair
and wind the clock every month.
Dual Controls Used in
School Driving Classes
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.—Driving in-
structors at 14 downstate high
schools employ dual-control auto-
mobiles to teach studenis driving
technique ar.d rules, the division of
highways announced today.
The division said that many of the
■ other 630 high schools offering driv-
er and highway instruction courses
were providing actual arivir.g prac-
tice f:r students in machines bur-
nished by instructors ar.d schools.
High schools employing dual-con-
trol automobiles were at Elgin, Bel-
videre, Moline, Carbor.dale and
Charleston Teachers' College high
school and Charleston high.
The division said preliminary ar-
rangements are under way for the
use of dual control-cars in high
schools at Peoria, Spring Valley,
Macomb and other downstate cities.

Walking on the Highway
ITS an art, this walking along
1 the highway, and not every-
body who does it lives to tell about
it afterward. At least a third of
the pedestrians fatally injured in
rural districts are struck while
walking along the roadway, ac-
cording to figures of the National
Safety council. And about two-
thirds of these were walking with
their backs to approaching traffic.
In many places, sidewalks are
being built parallel to the high-
ways to segregate motor and pe-
destrian traffic, but in places
where they aren't yet built, the
council has these four suggestions
to offer:
l_Walk on the left side of the
road.
2— At night, carry a light.
3— Wear light clothing or at
least some article of clothing
that’s white, to make it easier for
the motorist to see you.
4— Walk on the shoulder of the
road instead of the pavement,
where possible, to keep from forc-
ing cars into the path of oncoming
traffic.
