HENRY BAILING OUT Henry Ford is leaping out of the airplane after the war, with or with out a parachute. ? He wants ae part xt winged Mer cury in the postwar world, and will turn him in for good old Lizzie. ? The great Willow Ron factory that is turning one bomber ont ev ery hoar will get back to earth and spawn flivvers at the Irst oppor tunity, Henry announces. He expects to sell a million ears a year, and he sees longer lines in front of the Ford salesrooms than there are in front of "Oklahoma!" ? As Hank sees it, the people are craving to leap from battles to rat tles. They are yearning for the time when the word "objective" will again mean a hotdog stand at the seaside, when a spearhead win be just a point in a traffic jam, and when all communiques win read: "We made broad advances on an approaches to the bathing beach this morning." ? . ? Ford has been a miracle man in the bomber business, but his heart belongs to Lizzie. ? His one desire is to get back to a vehicle that drops nothing* bigger than a nut, ruins nothing but an enemy fender and has but one tar get: life, liberty and the pursuit of detours. ? ? ? Hen was never happy watching those bombers roll off his production lines. They lacked the family touch, the defective headlight and the op tional upholstery. He was a dejected figure as he looked at a Ford prod uct which allowed for no back-seat driving, no loose door handles and no complaints about the windshield wiper. * Henry pioneered the auto in order to give man more pleasure, wider travel and an opportunity for nerv ous breakdowns over a greater expanse of territory. He never thought any vehicle of his would destroy cities and lick master races. ? He pines for the end of the war and the return of the day when the question of the hour will be "has mother packed the lunch for the trip to Lake PoWwog?" and not "What's the target for tonight?" ? And when the only briefing will be "Keep her down to 45 an hour." ? His idea of a great picture is that of John Smith, Mrs. Smith, the Smith kids and Rover all jammed into the touring car, their faces agleam, their hearts high, with no hatred for anybody except a motor cycle cop, and no desire to kill anybody except the inventor of the red tight. ?

It's 4Big 'n' Little Prints' Mode T ?? ? By CHERIB NICHOLAS * A NEW fashion I in prints came I into being this spring. It's really a new branch on the family tree of mother - and - daughter or big - and little sister fashions. The idea is, the print design produced for mother or big sister is reproduced in minia ture to tune to little daughter or little sister age. This print innovation is so very new, so gay and so obvious the wonder is that no one thought of it before. The theme of big-'n-little prints is developing into much more than a mom and chile proposition in that it is making a tremendous hit for adult play clothes and daytime dresses. The idea of a large print plus a print scaled down to right proportion for children offers end less possibilities to creative genius. The fashion-wise girl with imagi nation will use the small print for her dress, making the most stun ning accessories out of the big print that fancy can picture. She'll try a blouse in little and a skirt in big print When mother turns out a frock for herself and a miniature dupli cate for her child, she will do well to make them of the big and little doughnut print trimmed with gay ric-rac braid as shown in the fore ground of the illustration. The patternings of these new re lated prints are as gay and out of the beaten path as the big-and little idea itself. The doughnut print is a favorite, and a bright-hued Dutch tile motif in the two sizes is charming, as is also the floral that patterns calico daisies in two sizes. Speaking of prints in general, the story they have to tell this sea son is as exciting as it can be. The entire fashion world is intrigued with the remarkable "conversation prints" that take just any theme, be it a ball of yarn, a safety pin or a prancing horse that goes through all its antics in print on a colorful back ground handling the patterning so designfully and artfully it turns out to be a work of art that delights the eye. When it comes to the new florals, the story of prints deals with the theme in breathtaking new slants. There is, for instance, a superb print shown which splashes large white flowers with green leaves widely spaced on a navy blue satin back ground. Another beautiful print spaces enormous California poppies, entirely realistic in color. Comiiig trends in prints herald dark grounds for both day and eve ning wear. The smartest types are widely spaced. Satin prints with widely spaced motifs are last word news. There are many styling details that make as big news as the prints themselves. One of the late features is the side drape and side-fasten that is executed in original ways. Many of the side drapes that end in a cascade of ruffles have the edges finished off with sawtooth scalloping, with a like treatment edging the sleeves. Such clever things are done as seen in the dress of black - on - white background polka dots, the dots rather widely spaced so that the impression is mostly white. The gown is very youthfully And simply styled, a dash of color supplied in a bright red pip ing that finishes off all edges. The big color sensation in current prints is the combination of pink with black. When topped with a dainty pink-flower hat and pink gloves or other accessories, the costume re solves itself into a picture of sweet femininity. Rtliued by Western Newspaper Union. With Print Accents Pretty as a picture is this IMS spring suit - costume. Teen - age seamstresses will discover that it's sound budget strategy and smart fashion sense to dust off the sewing machine and start stitching away to make this costume a reality for your very own self. The big highlight for this costume is the accessories of gay print. You can get fabric covered buttons made in short or der at your local sewing center's no tion counter. A final touch of polka dot bow and matching dressmaker handbag will make your costume a standout wherever you wear it Filmy White Hats Are 'A Dream Come True' There's a white hat vogue on, the like of which has seldom if ever been equalled in the annals of milli nery history. The white hat of to day is like a dream come true. There is an ethereal beauty about a lovely confection that is made of yards and yards of filmy illusive sheers or chiffon veiling or dainty ruched net or fine horsehair braid. In these sheers, billowed about the crown nestle white roses or some smaller white posies. Or perhaps one discovers the flutter of a ribbon or two from within the filmy mass. Then there are the little "lovely lady" hats fashioned of wee blos soms such as lilies-of-tbe-valley, tiny hyacinths, stephanotis and other diminutive snow-white flowers. Con trasting the little flowers, there are dramatic confections that pose three enormous white roses firmly an chored to a disc of fine white straw. There's charm aplenty also in the immaculate white hats fash ioned in versatile and intriguing ways of starched pique or eyelet embroidery. They are the coming vogue for the spring and summer. Capelet Dress Attuned To Spring and Summer The more you see of cape dresses and suits the more you admire them. The latest models are so daintily fashioned they will be wearable right through spring and summer to fall. The type you'll love best is the rayon crepe dress with print top. This has a matching capelet that comes just to the elbow. The print top has a neat collar band of self print with a huge soft bow at the front that falls out over the cape in an attractive manner. ? - '?& V - . DuQQ3E|^nl Btlim* by Wimiii Iftnpapv Uataa. VALUE or A TWO PARTY GOVERNMENT With a one party system of gov ernment. om man rule is inevitable. America never has had. and -does not want, each a government. Under our two party system, when it hap pens that the legislative branch and the administrative branch are controlled by different parties, there are occasional times when it would seem party advantage is con sidered as above national good. Of two comparatively recent in stances of that character, one was in the winter of 1918. A compulsory military training bill was before con gress and the Republican majority would pasa it. To those who had originally sponsored the meas ure President Wilson let it be known that when the bill was passed by the Repulican majority he would veto it unless it was withdrawn, given a new number, and reintro duced by a member of his own party as an administration meas ure. When that was done the Re publican majority refused to pasa as a Democratic administration measure what it would have passed as a Republican measure. Had there not have been that clash of party interests the nation would have had a trained citizenry from which to draw an arpiy for World War II. In 1933 the Democratic party con trolled congress, and we had a Republican president. Immediately following the national election of that year, when the Democratic party had elected the President to be in augurated the following March, the incumbent Republican President, Herbert Hoover, proposed legisla tion to stop the alarming bank fail ures. He could close the banks, but without legislation he could not re open them. The Democratic major ity in congress refused to pass the legislation without instructions from the incoming Democratic president, which instructions could not be se cured. The banks continued to fail until immediately after the in auguration of a Democratic presi dent on March 4, 1933, when a spe cial session of a Democratic con gress passed the identical bill, intro duced as an administration measure, it had refused to pass in January. Such instances can happen . only when different political parties control the legislative and administrative branches of the federal government. Under such conditions both parties may be guilty of placing party ad vantage above national good. ? ? ? ECONOMIC SET-UP FOR POSTWAR EUROPE MUCH OF POSTWAR EUROPE, including France, Belgium, the Bal kans and possibly England and oth er countries, will have as an eco nomic system, a cross between state socialism and private enterprise. It will, in reality, be the present day communism of Russia mixed with a greater amount of private enterprise than is now found in Russia, but to which Russia is moving. The De Gaulle government of France has nationalized the coal mines, with the announced purpose of the same pro gram for all industry dealing with natural resources and national de fense. That means nationalizing all transportation and heavy industries, suck as steel and steel products. In many ways, it is the economic sys tem of Naziism against which the Al lied nations have been fighting. It is a system toward which we, too, have been drifting. It is a long way to the left of what we have had for our last 190 years. It is where we will land?unless, and I do not know what that "unless" may be that might save us, or how far we may go if it does not happen. ? ? .a" ? : ANOTHER REQUEST FOR SUBSIDY IT IS EXPECTED THE CALI FORNIA summer orange crop, though unusually large in numbers will be small in size, and California citrus growers' are fearful of the price they will get. Some of the growers have proposed asking the government for a subsidy to com pensate them for any loss in value because of the small size. "Why not," they say, "everyone else expects the government to carry their losses, why not we orange growers?" Oth ers propose they ask the govern ment for a higher ceiling price so the consumer will make up the loss, instead of passing it on to all the tax payers. The former American way would be to take the bitter with the sweet, and let the increased quantity make up, so far as it would, for any decrease in quality. The new way with all of us is to ask the government, the tax payers, to tarry the load. ? ? ? IN THE ALLIED PEACE PRO VISIONS, as announced by the Big Three, nothing was said about an American loan to Germany with which she could pay for the devas tation she has caused. We set a pre cedent at the close of World War I that Germany will expect us to fol low with the close at World War n. She would much prefer to pay reparations with American money than with German labor, but, pos sibly, there is a limit to our gen erosity. We were good-heartod boobs ones, and that should be enough.

Anotfier advantage of the meth od is that unhealed water from prac tically any source can be used. The presence of alkali or clay does not reduce the effectiveness of the new dip. However, pure clean water is best. Veterinarians of the department's bureau of animal industry studied the effects of dips of various strengths.
