Remember when the style took women’s hair up? Hatters screamed because sales dropped. A woman couldn't wear a hat. Now, however, dress designers, hair dressers and hatters are working hand in hand. At the Fashion Designers Conference in New York, fashfons are co-ordina Look at the short hair styles, small hats And high collars. Florists are getting in on the act, too, said Mr. Budas.

Mr. Budas said an ornament affair is being developed which will hold flowers. A lot of hair isn’t needed to hold them in place. Will we ever reach the ultimate in beauty, [ asked breathlessly?

Super Rat-Race

By Robert C. Ruark T

NEW YORK, Nov. 2—As a reformed Naval

_officer, with considerable quiét pride in my old

alma mater, I believe I speak for a great many thousand reservists when I say they'd have to handcuff mie to get me back in thé Navy in its present shape. : The United .States Navy today is what we used to call a rat-race. Rat-races begin at the

3 top, and the infection spreads downward until

even the over-the-hill artists in the brig feel a sense of insecurity and futility." A rat-race is the antithesis of morale. 7 When Mr. Truman's newest political buddybuddy, Francis Matthews, got his loyal chieftain to fire Adm. Louis Denfeld as chief of naval operations, that was the final wipe-off of morale in the Navy today. From now on no top officer will trust Mr. Matthews to speak the Navy's piece in- high council; from now on no top officer will attempt to co-operate with Mr. Matthews; from now on every attempt will be made to sabotage Mr. Matthews and reveal him unfavorably as little

THIS ATTITUDE of unrest and distrust plummets downward and fans out. The admirals are jittery. and the captains become insecure; the commanders fidget and the lieutenants catch the Irritation; the Heutenants chew out the ensigns and the ensigns give the chiefs a bad time and the chiefs eat out the ratings and the. ratings murder the LC’s. ‘ § This goes- on for a time, and then the reaction starts upward. The LC’s -goof off on their work and the ratings wink at the chiefs and the chiefs yawn at the ensigns and lieutenants and the commanders get off early to play golf -and the captains and admirals are not inclined to give a rip one way or the other. ,- . . ‘What was once a happy ship. taut and sharp with shared pride based on security, discipline and performance, suddenly goes sloppy and lax.

I figured I'd run a line into the roost so I could wake up my chickens on dark mornings and also give ‘em a little artificial heat on bitter nights. . ’

‘My Kingdom for Nails’ PROPRIETOR ENGLAND laughed, but he wasn't amused. There wasn't a nail of any size to be-had in all-Fairfak County. He'd tried, goodness knows, to get some, but wherever he went, no nails. And a lot of folks needed nails worse than did my hens. ' Seemed that when the steel strike started more than a month ago a number of pessimistic building contractors bought up all the nails they could. They're still building houses.
