It’s the "spool silhou ette,” and dresses cut in this mode turn the wearer into a styl ized spool~-superimposed on ex tra-slim lines, it is nipped in at the waist, flaring equally above and below. Howard Greer is tak ing the bows for it. Tunics are starred and under skirts are narrowed to a point. Lengths are important — Greer sponsors, for street wear, skirts that are way - down - in - the back, curved at least five inches higher to a point in the front, making a sort of high-hobble-skirt. Evening variations hit the^ floor in back, hobble at the ankles and are slashed to the knees in front. “Spool silhouette” bodices are slim fitted at the waist, flaring up wards at the bosom to give what is called a “shell” bodice. The sleeves are all-in-one, doll lana in varying widths cut in one piece from neck to wrist. Among his 30 models, Greer in cluded several important, fitted evening coats in luxurious mater • ials; several stunning suits. These latter were softly tailored, long jacketed and, in most cases, fea tured intricate detailing. But it was his dressy afternoon frocks and evening gowns th a t made fashion news. Tiered skirts and single tunics, worn over down in-the-back, close-fitting skirts, led in the afternooners. Ruffles were used to relieve the severity of some of the narrower lines. Never wide, they appeared on hemlines, were repeated in tiny basques, attached to string belts. Many dinner dresses followed afternoon lines. Easily the most unusual of them was a black crepe which hugged the body from waist to knee. The bodice was all one piece, long-sleeved and of sheer black marquisette. The crepe skirt left off at the knees, where it was j, tucked a little higher in front, and the rest of the skirt was a deep, floor-length ruffle of the marquisette, revealing the legs. Brocade was highly favored, particulary for evening.

The only notable land operation reported here from other sectors was an attack in considerable strength by Russian tanks at an undesignated part of the central front. The high command said Moscow and Leningrad were attacked again from the air and Leningrad was shelled by heavy siege-guns. NAZIS FORCES ACTIVE KUIBYSHEV, Russia, Nov. 13. —The whole of the central front about Moscow was alive tonight with exploratory German thrusts, apparently heralding one more general offensive, military - dis patches reported, while new Rus sian counter-attacks beat further back the upper and lower arms of the current German envelop ment maneuver. These far-spread local attacks formed a general probing oper ation through which it appeared that the Nazi command urgently was seeking out every soft spot in the Red line against the ap proach of the worst of winter. In the bleak slush of the battle areas, both sides were bringing up re serves. Heavy action involving large forces, said military dispatches, was in progress only about Tula, 100 miles below Moscow, and in the vicinity of Kalinin, 95 miles northwest of the capital. Around Tula, the Russians’ southern anchor, the Germans were reported driven back an ad ditional one to two miles, beyond their five-mile retreat earlier re ported, by Soviet counter-thrusts heavily sprung from the southern approaches to the town. All German frontal assaults at the Tula positions, it was added, had ceased. / Upon the northern flank about Kalinin, fighting was violent in two sectors: One northeast of the city, where a new German push was declared breasted by Red counter-attacks, and the other in the upper section of the city, itself. Southwest of Kalinin. Russian detachments were said to have crossed the Volga and successfully raided the German rear. Subsidiary artillery action also was reported against what is ap parently the nearest German po sition to Moscw, a salient driven to Narofominsk, 35 miles south west of the capital, apparently from the main German southwest ern line about Maloyaroslavets. The German force there was de scribed, however, as a "unit,” and this implied that it was small. 1 FUR-TRIMMED GLOVES FOR LOVELY HANDS A bit of fur encircling the wrists of your shorties or a swathe of it on your gauntlets will give your gloves that luxurious look.

T. S. Johnson, director of the state defense council outlined a three-point program for co-ordinat ing defense projects in this area. “The first thing we must do is to do everything we can to aid de fense,” he said. “The second thing to do is to keep the defense effort from swamp ing and overwhelming us as com munities.” “The third thing to do entails a long range plan of co-ordinating the defense program and the post-war program among every little com munity in this area.’’ A ways and means community for the regional defense council, consisting of Nere E. Day of Jack sonville, E. S. Askew of Oriental, and W. S. Wells of Southport, was elected. Council President George Jeffreys, who presided over the meeting, will meet with the county defense coun cil in each county in the area dur ing the next week. Mayors of towns and chairmen of the boards of commissioners in the counties in the council attended the meeting. PETTICOAT SOLONS BACK SHIP ARMING (Continued from fate One) ler, she said. “Surely, at this mo ment, that is our first duty. If we become part of the actual battle line, we must implement our own men with the material with which to fight." Mrs. Bolton, a member of the Foreign Affairs committee, was on the other side of the fence from her fellow-Republican, Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers (Mass.) who also is on that committee. Mrs. Rogers favored the bill. Mrs. Rogers’ “Aye,” voiced from a front row seat in the House, was a squeek that provided a high-spot of humor in the tense atmosphere. She pointed to her nose in a way that explained, “dot a told in’ the head.” The fast-ticking moments of the three and a half hours’ debate hurried by to leave unsaid the speech of Mrs. Mary T. Norton (D.-N. J.), chairman of the House Labor committee, the only woman to head a major committee. She won a few seconds’ recog nition. “I have received so many threats,” said Mrs. Norton, some times known as "Battling Mary,” "that I want to put into the rec ord my reasons for supporting this resolution.” She waved some pages of letter-paper. “My vote,” Mrs. Norton had written, “is based on the promise that having voted billions of dol lars of taxpayers’ money to help those countries defending Democ racy, it is logical to provide the means to get the materials to their destination.” Miss Jessie Sumner (R.-Ill.) sel dom speaks from the floor, but yesterday’s Congressional Record carried a copy of a speech in which she opposed the revisions as another step in "a series of successive war steps.” Mrs. Margaret Smith (R.-Me.) let her vote speak for itself. It was an “aye.” Participating in the roll-call was the congresswoman who voted against the entrance of the United States into the World war—and then cried. Miss Jeannette Rankin (R.-Mont.) voted “No” today, and a few moments later was encoun tered off the floor—her blue eyes red and misty. 1 i (depend on PRESCRIPTION —Mo. 7— J Highly J Recommended m For Colds m And Coughs W Due To Common ^ ■ Colds. ■ On Sale At All M Drag Stores. ■ A Mild Laxative ■ Money Back ■ Guarantee op* ■ prfe^ 7... 55c 1 Three Davis Soldiers In Oratorical Finals 9 Winner Today Will Receive All-Expenses Furlough Trip To Nation’s Capital Finals in the Camp Davis oratorical contest will be held in the post theater Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, with speak ers from the 95th, })6th and 100th C.

HONEYMOON DEATH LAUNCHES PROBE Dead Woman’s Son Files Charges; Husband De tained In Mexico MONTERREY, Mexico, Nov. 13 —IS)—United States Consul Henry Waterman said today that a man identifying himself as Arthur Tor rance, 55, of New York City, was being held by Monterrey police pending investigation of the death of Torrance’s wife, the former Mrs. Ada Loveland, with whom he was honeymooning in Mexico. District Attorney Jose Juan Val lego of Monterrey said Torrance was under detention as the result of a written accusation filed by the dead woman’s son, Richard Loveland, who arrived here from Kalamazoo, Mich., Tuesday, three days after his mother died. Tor rance had reported the death due to a motor-car accident outside Monterrey. Vallejo said an inquiry would begin tomorrow afternoon, after which he will determine whether to request Torrance’s formal in dictment and arrest. Consul Waterman said the dis trict attorney’s office had ordered Mrs. Torrance’s body disinterred for examination. Torrance had reported his wife jammed on the brakes of their car quickly, to avoid a car which turned onto the road ahead of her, that she was hurled forward and struck her head on the rear view mirror. 1 GENERAL SMITH LAUDS CLEANUP City, County Highly Com mended For Campaign Against Vice A statement commending Wil mington and New Hanover county law enforcement officers for the work that they have done in ridding this section of prostitutes was re leased Thursday morning by Major General Frederic R Smith, com manding officer of Camp Davis. Officers at the camp said that county and city reports showed tha| more than 100 women have recent ly been convicted and sentenced. "I am highly appreciative of the splendid program of law enforce ment that has been put in effect by the police officers of Wilmington and New Hanover county in regard to prostitution," the general said. "It has been called to my atten tion that certain undesirable per sons, driven from the New Hanover area, have taken up residence is Brunswick county. “While the Army is making an investigation of the Situation there, I nevertheless feel certain that Brunswick officers will follow the example set by New Hanover in dealing with organised vice.” >■ IF you suffer monthly feMale min which makes you NEM,cuinr Nervous— If you’re annoyed by headaches, cramps, backache, distress of “Irregu larities,” a bloated feeling, periods of the blues —due to functional monthly disturbances-try Lydia Pinkham’s Compound Tablets (with added Iron).
