(U.R> The American stenographer who, during n conference held by Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson with the world press, remarked. ‘I wish they would speak English," has a colleague who indicated the use of an interpreter might be helpful. "What I’d Ike to know," she said, "is how many 'pip pips’ it takes to make a 'pop' as these British newspaper reporters always say either ‘Well, l must pip pip ■ along,' or 'l'll pop along' as they leave." . Among other things puzzling the state department girls are the knee-length leggings worn by ths v.ell-dressed British woman office worker as a protection against the! cold and the slush. The American trim, silk-sheathed ankle and a bit more, has not yet bowed to the elements. The words “thank you" have a duel meaning here. Workers carrying desks into the press room at St. James's palace encountered much difficulty in getting American reporters to move out of their way when they said "thank you” with emphasis on the first word. It is the British worker’s way o’ saying “gangway” or "one side please." Salespeople place the emphasis on the last word when receiving cash. Everheard at the huge grate fire in the press room of St. James's palace near which stood a nationally known American newspaper correspondent: "Well, they say we Americans die because of our overheated rooms. I'll say it's ainore pleasant, rooms. I'll say it's a more pleasan* an icicle." Th? room, as most of London’s rooms, has not the central heatng system and is warmed merely by a coal fire. » While their husbands are busv 'at conferences, wives of members of the American delegation are shopping for antiques and old prnts Mrs. Reed, wife of the senator from Pennsylvania, is purchashing Georgian furniture for a | new home being built in Washington. They are participating in a round of social functions during London's season now at its height. Lady Astor, member of partia l rnent, is a “southerner and of course, a good democrat" and for that reason Senator and Mrs. Joseph Robinson, of Arkansas, will <pend a weekend with her soon. Robinson, apparently tireless, is working hard. “1 missed a good chance to go on a pheasant hunt before the season ended." he sail, "but work is work." All forms of public opinion are represented in the large press ■oom of St. James’s palace. One newspaper carried on page one a -tory headed "trained seals" signed "by one of them" explaining that the difference between i “traltied seal" and a reporter was that the former specu’ated on news and the reporter got it. However, a survey of personalities reveals that some of the world's best known reporters and writers are at each press confernice. Most of them, it ,is noted, are men who have spent half of their lives in the newspaper profession. The American correspondents generally are far more youthful than those representing European newspapers. A minute is a minute to Secreary of Navy Adams. A newspaper caricaturist approached Ad ams in an elevator and asked permission to sketch him adding "it won't take a minute"'to which the secretary replied courteously but ! haven’t a minute." The English custom of eating with a fork in the left hand instead of the right, is interesting the Americans but none is attempting to copy it. One stenographer said, "I'd never get thiougb a meal. Theyfl charge me for parking overtime." The English maintain it is quicker since th? knife ordinirly is used by the right hand and minutes are lost during a meal by constantly transferring the fork to that hand aftet th? knife'll functions are over. — Bargains in New Living Room Suits.

| I I A la mode ® I I PARIS sets the styles in women’s dress for the world. London is the arbiter in matters of dress for men. But, New York and Chi- ffi cago, Boston and San Francisco and hundreds of smaller cities !fi and towns throughout the United States may know what are the latest styles even before they are shown in Paris. fee A seeming paradox, but true. Merchants maintain representatives in Paris, London, Vienna and other European style centers ffi § who cable the latest news of the modes, and ship samples long before they are sold abroad. In America, the news is translated into advertisements and printed by local newspapers throughout the ® ® United States. And so, American women are able to dress in the S tfi latest styles in dress more accurately than the women o f a n y (ye other country on the face of the globe. g ® Advertising keeps you abreast of the times in other ways.

SUN'S ECLIPSE TO BE SHOT BY PLANE CAMERA California Scientists Hope To Get Best Pictures of Phenomenon By Olin T. Cartwright (United Pro s Staff Correapondent San Francisco. Feb. 18 —(UP) As a certain portion of California is darkened, darker than midnight, for one brief moment on April 2.‘> two men will be working liko mud 10,000 fe> t above the ear h to take pictures of the sun. Those men, scientists from the i.ick Observatory near San Jose, (’al., plan to photograph the total e lipse of the sun on that day for ihe benefli o science. 1 It is a feat never before attempt cd by man, and if successful, l< expected to provide Lick Observac y with some of th best records' eve. mt. le of mi ecl'pse of the sun. The effort will b ■ made in a highisiwcred cabin airplane, capable of attaining an ultl tide of 15,000 fi et or more. The interior will be equip;>ed with the latest of telescopic photoI graphic devices perfected for the I Inking of pictures of bodies in the . heavens. Di. H. M. Jeffeis will be the i photographer, and his plane will be piloted by ;tn expert flier. Although Dr. Jeffeis is a kualified pilot he will be too bus shooting pictures of the eclipse (o give any thoughts to I controls of the Hying ship. The attempt will be made in the ratified atmosphere two miles omore above the Napa Valley, according to Dr. R. G. Aitkens, one of the directors of the observatory. The total eclipse of the sun which will not last more than 60 to 80 seconds, sci ntists believe, will only be v sible from certain points in! 1 north-central California. Starting at a point on the Califor-! nia coast north of Camouflage, th - 1 1 eclipse will be seen by observant people as it slithers across valleys and towns, highways and byways of the earth. ‘ From Camouflage the eclipse will - he visible on a line northeasterly I across the state to Honey Lake, where it goes into Nevada, accord- J ■ I ing to Dr. Aitkens. * At fwo other points other observ I ers of the Lick Observatory will be

stationed to watch Hie phenomenon. They will be doctors J. 11. Mooro mid I). 11. Menzel. In commenting on the purposed flight Dr, Aitken told the United Press, "It muy not Im- suecessful, but It Is very much worth the effort. We hope to obtain, with the aid of th plane, the best mid clearest phejtogiaphs ever mmle of an eclipse of 11ho sun." Il CONGRESS TODAY ♦ -(U.R) ♦ Senate: Contlnm s tarlfi' debate.
