‘USABLES’ TOP CHRISTMAS GIFT THOUGHTS THIS YEAR

Vast Array of Presents on Display BY JULIA BLANSHARD NEA Service Writer NEW YORK. Dec. 10.—First Christmas gift thoughts this year are likely to be thoughts of “usables.” Gifts that can be worn, gifts that can be used about the house, gifts that will make the college room a nicer place to live, the sick room happier. Money, of course, is the first thing most people might wish for, if Santa Claus were working full time this year and really asked them their hearts' desire. If you prefer not to give money, there are multitudinous useful gifts that are bound to win hurrahs of thanks. For Lounging—and Working First among these come such wearables as new warm lounging pajamas for the college girls, girls who earn their own living—and who make their home in tiny quarters. They’re useful, too, for mothers who have to get up and feed Timothy in the night, and for sick folks who have a way of waking up and wanting to read when the house is stone cold at 3 a. m. In line with this warmer-winter Christmas giving, there are lovely new lacy-like woolen undies that many women will love, soft sweater sets with mittens to match, scarfs, berets and belts to match, woolen half sox that tie in fancy bows with colored strings, and with mittens to match. There are all kinds of fur neckpieces that are Ascot ties, collarettes, bow-ties or just nice, glamorous fox scarfs.

Blouses Make Nice Gifts New blouses this year are a nice gift for women. Preferably one of the colorful lacy weave woolen ones, in pastel hues, for they dress up a navy blue, black or brown suit in high, wine and handsome manner. Housewives this year have a whole long list of usables that they probably would give a lot to have. Combination bath mat, bath towel ana wash rag sets come this year all done up in cellophane packages and have the loveliest designs. You can match up bathroom colors or you can even get old-fash-ioned mid-Victorian designs, such as the new swan pattern, if you want to. Colored sheets, new colored damask sets of lunch cloth and napkins in linen and lace, dresser scarfs and all other kinds of house linens are in order. Nobody has the cash this year to buy all they need and women with large families will love such gifts. Lot of New llsables There are lots of new usables for men this year. There is anew college vogue to let a boy pick a design for his ties and then have the same design made up in three or four different colors, to wear with different suits, maroon and beige, blue and white, gray and silver, green and black. Father is likely to like something for his car, such as one of the new figure heads for the radiator cap, a pair of warm driving gloves, an electric cignret lighter, a heater. Furniture comes in for its full share of glory as Christmas gifts this year. What could be nicer than a lovely arm chair for husbands, a cozy boudoir chair or chaise lounge for a lady, a low desk and chair for Junior to encourage him to do his “homework”; a rug, some sofa cushions, anew lamp or shade, a radio or perhaps a desk for the women of the house to keep the accounts straight. Plants Are Lovely Plants that are growing, instead of cut flowers, are lovely Christmas gifts, because they make nice table centerpieces for a long time and living room decorations in between meals. Perhaps the most usable of all are some of the new electrical equipment. There are featherweight new electrical sewing machines that many a girl would welcome. There are new waterless electrical shavers for men that are the last word. There are combinations of toasters, grill and percolators that the bachelor man or woman could use to advantage getting a light supper for friends. Electric stoves are nice for country friends. Luggage comes in this usable list. Most folks need new r luggage. Newest of the new is the auto luggage, in various shapes and sizes that either fit on the back of your car or sneak into the space in the rear in modest manner and remain unobstrusive.

Arms Race Assailed by Dr. Edwards “Competitive armament building is at the bottom of most of the world's economic difficulties,” Dr. David M. Edwards, executive secretary of the Indiana Council on International Relations, said Wednesday in the last of his lecture series lon current world problems sponsored by the League of Women Vot- | ers, held at Rauh Memorial library. The concluding lecture coucemed j “Problems of Disarmament,” the national policies of each country and their probable contributions to the disarmament conference. Prosperity can not be restored, the economic depression will not be relieved, until a world program of ! reduction of armaments is inauguj rated. Dr. Edwards believes. I ' United States delegates to the conference, he said, will occupy a strategic position. “Success of the conference will depend upon the attitudes of the principal nations involved,” Dr. Edwards continued. “Germany will demand reduction on the basis of ! the Versailles treaty and will accept any reduction. “France demands security, protection against invasion, although | there is a strong sentiment for disarmament among the French people. “Italy is committed to disarmai ment and Japan’s attitude is not enthusiastic. Russia has been more radical in demands for disarmament than any other nation. Italians have everything to gain and nothing to lose by the action,” he i said. In concluding, Dr. Edwards quoted from Newton W. Baker: “Somebody in the world, some nation in the w r orld, must be big enough and brave enough to say to the rest of the world, ‘We do not only demand peace, but we intend to have it.’ ”
