the first actual invasion since the time of William the Con-| queror should be attempted. The Air Ministry spoke of reserve fliers apparently being held back for the decisive encounter and it was stated that Britain's new serret fighters and bombers have not yet | been put into service despite hints by Germany that the Luftwaffe is using its latest aircraft in the “all out” attempt against England.

DRAFT DELAY

| Congress would have to provide funds to finance the campaign. If the Senate consents to have recruiting tried for 60 days, the House probably will agree to limit the draft to voung men.

The House amendment is more drastic in some respects, providing jail and fines for non-compliance, but its definition lof plants liable for seizure by the Government is more specific, and precludes inclusion of newspapers radio stations, and other “facilities” which some Senators feared might be classed as defense industries. Next most important point at issue is a House requirement that no men shall be called up until the Army has housing and hospital facilities for them. The Army had planned to winter some units in temporary shelters in the South.

newspapers, obtaining the benefit of this satisfaction felt in Germany. But, if the British consider they have the advantage in night raiding and do not terminate their attacks on German cities, Goering’s position as active commander may become questionable. The British raid on Hamburg, last evening, indicates no immediate cessation. The issue of | night bombing thus is as yet undelcided.

The reason is that they never four-in-hand.

BIGGEST ISSUE
Strauss Says: —
So This Is Pegler. . . He Should Talk!
When a fellow takes pen in hand or Underwood in lap and
proceeds to take issue with Mr. Westbrook Pegler, there pops
into his mind the "stop and desist" implication embedded in the familiar line by the poet Pope, "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread"...
For that man Pegler is a man who can make words sing and singe and sizzle and sear.
Mr. Pegler makes certain observations about Hoosiers including their sartorial habits and predilections.
He speaks about (among other things) how you can tell a Hoosier
by his tie, which (so he avers) is never unknotted once it is tied by the clerk who sold it to him!
Incidentally, Mr. Pegler paid Strauss the honor of a visit a few years ago—he was on his way to Louisville at the time of the flood.
We trust he wasn't embarrassed by being approached by some kindly, well-meaning but mistaken customer with a greeting such as, "Glad to see you! You're the great Columnist, Mr. Broun! | knew you right away = you do ‘look like an un-made bed'!"
(It was the pictures of the late Heywood Broun that carried that “un-made” bed cut line.)
We trust no one approached him volunteering to tie his tie—or to tie his shoe laces. (He seemed very comfortable and casual—and our guests can do no wrong)
You can tell a Hoosier—he is, by and large, a well-dressed man nothing underdone—nothing extreme—but smart and cosmopolitan.
He has it over the average New Yorker like a tent!
Whose anemic-looking and colorless clothes are depressing.
Why, the New Yorker is still largely in the Dark Ages—he has only in the past couple of years learned the comfort
of thin, light tropical clothes! A Hoosier hates foppishness and Broadwayishness like Mr. Pegler hates the Commies and the Bolos.
Hoosiers are considerably ahead of the Eastern Seaboard in the spirited dignity of their attire—and are on this side of California
in their feeling for color and novelty! In a word, they don't go overboard either way, Just right,
And a Hoosier likes his hats. Here it is the 20th city in population but the 5th largest Dobbs outlet in America.
Here is a John Cavanagh hat shop—a twin of the Superlative Hatter on Park Avenue, New York,
Here are ties, Mr. Pegler, such as Countess Mara shows in her ultra, ultra shop opposite the Waldorf. And
salubrious ties from England and the best of native conception.
Here is one of the most important centers in America for Hickey-Freeman clothes (including certain Vicuna coats for $350—we're selling them!)
Yes, you can tell a Hoosier—his interests are Paintings,
Politics and Literature—he is a solid agriculturist who has never
had a crop failure. He is a Horseman and a Horticulturist
(surely you have heard of or smelled our Indiana Roses!) Me is a Tomato-Grower—he is an Industrialist who gets things done!
And lastly, you can tell a Hoosier—a well-turned out fellow with his feet on the ground——a sincere, friendly,
hospitable sort of fellow, well-groomed (as Corr the Federal
Security Administrator, our Senators and Others in our public life). of taste—on the Main Streets of Hoosierdom, from Madison to Muncie to Mishawaka=from Evansville to Elwood to East Chicago . . . (and more than 99 and 449, of these men according to the latest Gallup poll, tie their own ties and less than 1-10 of 19, of the ties have a two-bit look).
