FOR EXAMPLE, you take a shirt, pastel lavender in color; add a vivid piece of stuff ied a necktie, three shades of deep lavender with large geometric designs; plug the sleeves with heavy cuff links (the shirt’s gotta be with French cuffs); cover your feet with a pair of lavender socks, turn the brim of your hat up all around and finish off

Too Much Ballyh

WASHINGTON, Mar. 14—You don’t like to use the words “barnstorm’” and “publicity stunt” in connection with an operation which might save your bacon some day, but the recent globe-girdling

‘Jaunt of the Lucky Lady II had a lot more hippo-

drome in it than you like to see outside a wrestling match. Sometimes, In this town, you get the idea that more importance is paid to peddling a product for maximum shock effect than is actually contained in the product itself. There is too much Hollywood ‘hoopla nitxed up in the current inter-service squabble down here for my particular peace of mind. The Army, Navy and Air Force all seem more interested in heckling each other than they are in rassling up the bestrounded weapon available.to the public money.

Stealing Navy's Thunder

IT IS no secret that the Air Force's spectacular staging of the non-stop roundtripper was deliberately shaped to steal the Navy's thunder, as it flexed its muscles and pointed pridefully at its own maneuvers in the Caribbean. It was staged with all the eold savvy of & flock of skilled Broadway press agents charged with the chore of fob-

‘bing off a box-office turkey.

What the Air Force so modestly described as a “routine” flight was a masterly exhibit of highpressure publicity. Two B-29's and a Constellation, loaded with press, radio and equipment, were flown to Ft. Worth. Direct telephone lines for United Press, Associated Press and British Reuters already had been set up. There was regular combat briefing for the correspondents—who had been invited on the trip by “classified” invitations—meaning vital secrecy was involved. Air Force described this as a “test of security,” and the men were not briefed until they were actually in the air. At one time, no questions were Allowed.

When the story broke, the general tenor was that the rest of the armed forces could rack up—that future war was now the full property of air, with any minor assistances, like errand running, that the other services might care to offer. I got the impreddion that a few dozen airplanes might now logically be expected to win any future

About 100 members of the club, including my bride (who was the only lady present), met in the schoolhouse down the pike at Herndon to discuss coming interesting events. ‘The ParentTeacher Association provided the lunch: roast beef, potatoes, salad, and hot cherry pie. First rate, too, said Mrs. O. She reported further (and a little bluntly, it seemed to me) that the genuine children of the artificial fathers now are about to arrive. All over the country are cows expecting calves. The question before the association thus is how best 'to nurse a calf, whose mother never even met her husband. *

She sald she also felt a little embarrassed, ‘she being the sole artificial breeder in attendance, who doesn’t even own a cow. This situation is’ about to be changed. She used to have one, you may remember, named Clarabelle.
