Turn It Around
It’s simple to modernize an oldfashioned bed with a high headboard. Remove the headboard, turn the bed around and use the low footboard for the head. Refinishing in an attractive paint will give it an entirely new aspect. Or make a snug slip-cover to match window draperies and bedspread. A quilted fabric would be especially attractive,

Legion Women Leaders Confer
The tightening of immigration; naturalization and deportation laws was outlined as one of five “first line objectives” of the National American Legion Auxiliary, this afternoon, by Mrs. Andrew H. Lawo, legislative chairman from Raleigh, Tenn. . The Auxiliary is holding a national executive meeting today and tomorrow at the American Legion headquarters. Committee members and national officers from every
state, Alaska, Hawaii, the Panama Canal Zone and the District of Columbia, are attending. The other legislative objectives stressed by Mrs. Lawo were:. An adequate national defense; universal service in time of war; Government protection for World War orphans and widows, and effective veterans’ preference in all governmental jobs.
Cites Communist Stand
Under the immigration objective Mrs. Lawo called attention to the Legion’s attitude toward the Communist Party of America. She said that members have affirmed their faith in the party system as an instrumentality of democratic government but recognize that no party can have a dual allegiance. The American Legion and its Auxiliary do not claim that national defense will of a certainty prevent war—no person can honestly make such a claim, Mrs. Mark W. Murrill, national chairman of the defense committee, said in her afternoon report. . “But we do know that it will make war more remote and that each step in that direction is a distinct contribution to lasting peace. This is, however, only one point in a threepoint program. The other two points call for adoption of suitable neutrality laws to keep us out of other nations’ wars, and a universal service act to take the profit out of war and strengthen the national defense.” ’
- Discusses Patriotism
Mrs. P. I. Dixon, national Americanism chairman, said “It is probably true that patriotism in the United States was out of fashion, but today, through the efforts of the American Legion and the Auxiliary and their’ Americanism program, a widespread wave of patriotism is sweeping the country.” _ Other reports at the morning sesSlon were made by Mrs. Louis Lemstra, Clinton, Ind. rehabili~ tation; Mrs. Frank E. Mathers, Haddon Heights, N. J, employment; Mrs. A. A. Pantelis, Highland Park, Ill, radio. : This afternoon session was to include the following reports in addition to ' those mentioned: Education of orphans of veterans, Mrs. F. W. Bartling, Douglas, Wyo.; Junior activities, Mrs. Lutie Long Smith, Kansas City, Mo.: child welfare, Mrs. A. H Hoffman, Des Moines; community service, Mrs. George Vensel, Phoenix, ‘Ariz. ; trophies, awards, emblems, Mrs. J. Allison Hardy, Columbus, Miss. and music, Mrs. Leslie E. Taylor, Haxtun, Colo. An annual executive committee dinner is scheduled for tonight at the Indianapolis Athletic Club and

THE HEIM collection showed a great deal of gray blending with other colors, especially earthy tones of browns and pastels of blues, greens and yellows. Black and white led the parade of evening gowns, which were outstanding in their trim smartness. The gowns have long sleeves and the barest hint of decolettes by the using of shaping drapery. The star of this group is a black lace gown of shirtwaist style. Its long sleeves were finished with starched, white linen cuffs and a white linen flat collar at the high neck. : Daytime dresses slide from practical woolen things to a restaurant type of dress, almost formal for the material chosen. Woolen si" coats and dresses were slightly fuller in the skirts, some with pleats and others flared by gores with the hemline often corded. Early beach fashions include gay prints which Jacques Heim designed for American overfast fabrics. In the seashore fashions there was an ensemble of crisp ‘ white eyelet embroidery. Furs were an integral part of spring clothes at Heim and there were new ideas in capes.
