REVIEW OF A NEW
AUTOMOBILE
The first lMt model?automobile
has bC?o unveiled to the public.
Thousands visited the showroom,
and ahouta of toy went up as the
American buying public saw the
many new features. These Included
fenders an both aides, bumpers in
the proper position and brakes that
really worked.
?
Departures from the trend of the
last four years were numerous, a
marked leaning toward having the
chassis directly in line with the body.
Instead of partly askew being espe
cially noteworthy.

and a tendency to have all shackles

automobiles since Pearl Harbor, and
the reception was terrific.

Outstanding innovations, too, were
windshields with the glass intact,
wipers that really worked by press

a dashboard clock that did not reg

Much comment was caused hv the
discovery that after closing the door
windows you can no longer stick
your hand out without lowering it
again. The public is expected to get
used to this after a while. The idea
of having one or more panes of glass
missing has been completely
dropped.
?
Salesmen explained, however, that
if customers through habit wished
to have a door with the glass miss
ing, they could arrange it.

Nineteen forty-six models will
have paint on all parts, much of it
with a gloss. Steering gears win be
quite firm, It being no longer neces
sary to give thorn four or Ave com
plete tarns to control the wheels.
?
General approval of the new cars
was expressed; but there was one
sigh of disappointment. It was dis
covered that the companies would
make no departure from the 35
yegr rule at never providing a jack
or a hit of tools adequate for even
a minor repair.

Stunning Fur Accessories Are
Worn With Unfurred Costumes
k
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
pUR is playing a spectacular role
in the fashion world this season.
There are so many breath-taking
ways in which fur is being ma
neuvered by designers, adjectives
fail to do justice to the theme. Only
seeing is believing how smartly and
attractively fur accent is being
worked Into the scheme of costume
design.
This year fur craft is making a
striking new gesture in way of ac
cessorizing the unfurred suit or coat
or smart wool dress with a strik
ing fur hat-afld-bag ensemble, or the
fur hat may be teamed with a muff
or a belt of matching fur that gives
a nipped-in waistline to a smart
wool tunic coat.
You will be seeing more fur hats
worn this winter than you have
ever seen before. The types range
from youthful berets to most im
posing fabulous hats styled of the
choicest of furs. The big idea is to
wear a fur hat with your winter cos
tume, the simplest types with day
time wool casuals and the more
elaborate fur chapeau with your
most fetching dress-up gowns and
evening wraps.
Centered in the picture one sees
just how intriguing a fur hat can
look with a brown and beige striped
jersey dress which is softly tailored,
with a fly-front bodice and gathered
skirt. Hie wider brimmed hats
usually have a fur facing with a felt
top. The handsome mink facing for
the hat tunes to the brown color
scheme of the costume.
It is hard to imagine anything
more eye-appealing, more refresh
ingly new looking, more appealing
to discriminating taste than the
stunning suit which is accessorized
with a "last word" fur hat and bag
set, as shown to the right in the
illustration. It has that patrician
look of elegant simplicity which is
so characteristic of the better fash
ions this winter. The suit is ot soft
beige wool. The four-button jacket
has three bands of the self fabric
applied to resemble pocket flaps.
The beret and bag are beaver, a
favored high-fashion fur this sea
son. It's a grand idea, if you hap
pen to have a worn and out-of-style
fur garment, to take it to your fur
rier, who perhaps will find enough
good fur in it to make one of the
now-so-fashionable hat and bag sets.
This season's styling technique
also calls for fur used in a trim
ming way. It's quite the smart thing
to prettify the simple black velvet
gown, both the formal long-skirted
type or the ingenue short-length
dance frock with lovely white er
mine, as shown in the illustration.
The deep rounded neckline and short
sleeves are edged with lovely white
ermine. \
This is a season when scraps of
fur are to be treasured and not light
ly thrown away. Now that acces
sories and trimming accents ot fur
are so outstanding, it's worth one's
while to turn every swatch of fur
into costume decor. This year clev
er items that add the touch that
tells to even a simple dress include
a whole host of intriguing ideas. The
fur headband is a novelty brought
out this year. If you have a strip
of ermine, tie it about your coiffure
with ribbon at the back or con
ceal an elastic fastening under a
cluster of ermine tails that dangle
over one ear. A belt of spotted leop
ard fur will impart swank to your
cloth suit or dress. If you have
enough mink or Persian lamb to
make a costume bow you can use
it to advantage in many attractive
ways, pinned on your cloth coat in
stead of a jewelled clip, worn an
the bodice of your dress just be
low the shoulder. You'll And lots of
ways to use a white ermine bow.

Satin-Brocade Suit
You will see a lot of brocaded
satin this season. It is used here in
solid black for a chic, sequin
trimmed cocktail or after-five res
taurant suit. The sequins trim the
collar of the jacket, which is closed
with three brocade-covered buttons.
These charming dress up suits are
worn under fur top-coats.
Hair Ornaments Made
Of Feathers, Jewels
What with the many gala events
planned for a brilliant winter social
season, there is a steadily increas
ing demand for festive hair orna
ments, that reflect the elegance that
fashion demands. The handsome
feather fantasies shown in the new
collections are very "great lady"
looking. Women of fashion are
wearing ostrich tips, ostrich plum
age, simulated birds with dramatic
trailing tail feathers in exotic colors
and other varied feather clusters.
These all have comb or clip anchor
age. The new headbands are Just
as gorgeous as Jewels and sequin
embroidery can make them. These
include ecroQ designs, butterflies
end flowers worked in a solid all
over patterning. Topping everything
in evening swish is a cbp-on band,
or call it wreath if you will, of sequin
flowers in black or multi-color. Fur
headbands are very attractive and
new looking.
Subtle Neutral Tone* Are
Favored for Day Wear
In the better dress collections, the
emphasis is on subtle neutral tones
for daytime dreaaes and sweaters.
The favorite aoft tones are subdued
grays and baigas, winter blood and
oatmeal shades. Then there is a
green that is grayed into a aoft in
definite affect that is moat attrac
tive. Dreaaes and toppers made hi
these refined tones fascinate with
their striking simplicity and their
patrician appearance. There is wide
call for fine cashmere sweaters la
these fashionable neutrals. They
are perfect for the college ghrL
PUBLIC WILL ?F. FAIR
WHEN PACTS AEE KNOWN
HAS INDUSTRY SOMETHING to
hide from the public? U there some
thing in ? discussion of tie relatione
with labor it would not want the pub
lic to know? Personally I am con
vinced there is nothing the lndua
trial executive* wish to conceal.
Over the yesrs I have (mown a
considers bis number of industrial
executives, and, with but few ex
captions, they have had no real con
ception of maaa psychology. They
have been capable men in their own
lines; they have piloted their eon
corns to industrial success, and they
did their Jobs largely by keeping
still, and saying little. "IYiey knew
their jobs; they are worthy of the
salaries they draw as business as-.
ecutives, but they do not understand
the psychology of tha John and Mary
Doaks that constitute the grant ma
jority of the American public.
Taday, mere thaa at any pre
vious time la ear history, the
people of all classes insist on
knowing tha inside of things
that affect themselves la tha
way of wages or prices. They
want to know the coats of pro
ducing tha commodities they
bey. and the earnings af As asm
corns that make these goods.
As a general avaraga the people
are fair. They do not ohjoct to the
payment of what might be consid
ered large galarins to mga of abili
ty; they baUeve investors should
havs a reasonable return on the
money that is supplied to provide
plants and tools for industry.
To the average American a bal
ance sheet Is unintelligible. At the
best it is merelv the word of ? cor.
poration executive, and that, to the
John Doaka, prove# nothing. If the
facta and figure# a balance aheet
containa could be openly diacuaaed
and analyzed the corporation "would
have a better standing with the av
erage John and Mary Doaka, Amer
ican citizena who vote.
We have reached a place
where ear free enterprise sys
tem is In danger. Those who
weald replace It with a form of
state socialism find in any re
fusal of industry to openly dis
cuss and analyse the operations
of Industry a weapon fitted to
the deeds they would do. Out of
such refusal they create snspt
cien that breeds difficulties.
The part of government is to
place responsibility on both manage
ment and labor, and in adjudicating
any difference between them, to see
that both sides lay all the facts on
the table, face up. The John Docks
feel the operations he helps to
finance, and whose products he
buys, should be above suspicion,
as it is in all probability, but he is
not sure when management says
"no" to a request for a look inside.
With our free enterprise system,
our way of life, in danger industry
cannot afford to create the impres
sion of a "public be damned" policy.

ON HOLDING UNIONS
LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE
WHEN THE EMPLOYER makes
a contract between himself and the
legally constituted authority repre
senting those who work for him, to
pay his employees $1.00 an hour, and
| inen reduce* that pay to 90 centa,
I that employer haa broken a con
tract. Any court in the land would
consider, and hold, his actions aa
such. The court would force com
pliance with the terms of the con
tract by that employer. When his
employees feel the time is opportune
to demand 11.10 an hour, and all, or
any part, refuse to work unless the
higher rate is paid, that, too, is a
violation of a legal contract. In that
case, the courts would not, or could
not, force compliance. The legally
constituted authority ? the union?
that made the contract is not re
sponsible under any present law.

Tomatoes of 1946
Tomatoes, already rating high in

work at Univertity
of Chicago.
Tomato cannery

to use. Oil being ex

seeds, cannery waste
wui provide an extracted ether
soluble fraction of 12-4 per cent.
By treating plants with the fumes
of a growth-promoting acid, naph

be produced.
The skins of tomatoes are being

make them of commercial impor

Creep-Fed Pigs Grow
Bigger in Less Time
When pigs on rye pasture were
creep-fed, 5.6 per cent more of the
pigs survived to weaning age than
when they were'forced to eat with
the sows, experiments at the Uni
versity of Illinois reveal.
The average daily gains of the
pigs are greater under the creep
Feeding method. The difference
noted of .06 poudB per pig a day
Is of doubtful significance, but the
total gain for 100 pigs would
to 6 pounds in favor of those fad hi
the creep. If ted for 46 days, the
100 creep led pigs would show a dif
ference of 240 pounds more pork
ip to weaning time.
