Fun in an Exploration SUPPOSE the average woman iloves shop-gazing for the same reason that the flapper loves the films and the chfid its fairy tailes Slie sees herself in the richest furs visualises that luxurious divan in her drawing-room and sees those gleaming saucepans on her scullery shelf where her worn ones now stand In much the same spirit does the flapper put herself In the role of the adored one and the child become a princess in a palace of crystal The dreams are as endless as the variety before her But what of the average man His shop-gazing is a very different matter He seldom shop-gazes unless he means to buy be the purchase for his wife his girl-friend or his important self He takes a good look in the window sees what he wants goes in and buys it Just like that No dilly-dallying no dreaming for him But what a lot of fun he misses Of course the weather affects mood when shopping A rainy day will often make every hat one tries on seem more absurd and every look in the mirror a worse shock However the sun shone for me yesterday and the sky was blue when 1 set off on my first expedition Round the Birmingham So I felt as happy as the proverbial lark and as thrilled as if 1 were off to hunt big game Just So Frocks I said to myself but not a bit of good trying to be firm on a shopping expedition i6 it You know what happens One sets out with a 10s note to buy a book as a birthday present for an old friend and arrives home some hours later with a darling red handbag for oneself So it a chic little frock that I found first after all but a really autumny choker necklace at the colour of an acorn turned brown Just the thing I thought to go with sporty jumpers or woollen frocks in those new autumn shades of rust and terracotta Two and elevenpence-halfpenny it was and there was a wrist bangle to match it at a shilling less I saw literally dozens of evening gowns later at and A Modes all colours all materials all prices I liked most a simple little gown in white ripple satin that boasted the very latest up-to-the-chin neckline The choker fastened with a diamante clip at the back of the neck There was no back to the gown and it had a dear little half-belt which began a the side seams and fastened behind It was 39s lid For wear over this (if one was feeling really extravagant was the sweetest coatee-cape made of 6ilvery a simple little gown in while ripple satin that boasted the very latest up-to-the-chin colour that eyes would be if such creatures existed Another attractive material I saw at Walter was one of pure 6ilk with a dull crepe surface that gave a wool effect This was for afternoon frocks very warm and light and not too delicate-looking This was 10s lid a yard and 38 ins wide From materials for gowns to materials for curtains Such a funny material too oil-skin transparent and washable for say a kitchen window it a good idea The prettiest amongst them was a plaid green black and cream though the self colour ones were also charming These are 3s llid a yard rather more than one would usually pay for kitchen curtains perhaps but there! it is a novelty after all These I saw at and once in the furnishing department I found it difficult to get away Bed Wear 7 also sluggish in feeding the bearings Essolube gives immediate protection to the bearings from the first revolution of the crankshaft

Youth Group of the Birmingham branch of the League of Nations Union was forthcoming last night at a public meeting at Heath The other said Mr Hannon I made a speech in Birmingham in which I said some things about Geneva I have since had voluminous correspondence some very critical some of a somewhat encouraging character in relation to what I said I do not seek anything more than a fair estimate of the vieAvs to which I gave expression When I said We have had too much I Avas thinking of the ineffective results of the many conferences and the continuous negotiations that have taken place I make no secret to-night of my belief that the first consideration of British statesmanship in view of the world situation should be to concentrate on developments Avhich would improve the conditions of the people of this country and of the Empire THE SIX-POINT PROGRAMME The British Empire co-ordinated and stabilised in the determination of its own policy should make its own moat safe before using its power diplomatic or otherwise to foster and improve the conditions of other Of the six-point disarmament programme of the League of Nations Union Mr Hannon remarked Every point academically admirable every point hopeless from the point of view of securing universal peace While the League of Nations is an admirable institution unique in human history its accomplishments owing to differences arising out of economic nationalism military pride and old prejudices and bitterness are such that we cannot hope for any great things in the Mr Haigh a committee member of the Birmingham Central League Youth Group protested that Mr Hannon had not given the meeting any constructive proposals Developing the British Empire Avith-out regard to the interests of other peoples would lead to greater divisions than ever FURTHER WANTED So far as the young people of Birmingham and of the world are concerned their hope is for the overdoses of This sentiment was cheered So was the contention of Mr A Gibson another speaker that Avhen the representatives of other nations read speeches from public men like that delivered by Mr Hannon at the annual conference of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations last week they pointed the finger ol scorn at this country and accused us of being insincere This speaker agreed hOAvever that Mr Hannon had been very sincere in his constant and steady support of the League of Nations Union On the Avhole Mr Hannon may ne congratulated on having had an easy passage through a meeting which was not so antagonistic as some people anticipated it Avould be Councillor A Lamplugh presided and a resolution urging the adoption of the six-point disarmament programme of the Union Avas carried unanimously Sold like vintage wine in

right Two months ago he knocked it again tvhich made it gradually get worse and caused the wound to spread larger We have often heard of the goodness of Germolene and at last we bought a tin The result after a application is too marvellous to believe It Is practically well now and my husband and I are very thankful I had given up the idea of it ever getting well Mrs Wakeling 6 Tilbury Cottages Downley BUCKS Results almost too marvellous to Brand Ointment heals BURNS For seven weeks I suffered from very bad burns For the first four weeks treatments did very little good A friend of mine persuaded me to use Germolene and after the first two days an improvement was noticed I have used altogether only two tins and I am now practically better Owing to the serious wound I was afraid they would leave scars but I am pleased indeed to tell you that they have healed without one" A Winpenny 4 Stanningley Rd Armley LEEDS So I wandered round looking at down quilts and wishing if the truth must be told that I could have a nice little snooze on one of them for just about 15 minutes I coveted most one in rose pink crepe marocain (pink again I like it so much because I wear it) It had ruching in the centre and a deep band of ruching about eight inches from the edge It was lined with sateen because real satin is so I was told and was double-bed size 4s was the price Down quilts

RASH ULCERS PSORIASIS Times When It is tKe Safest Course In view of the number of recent prosecutions for low flying the Automobile Association draws attention to some aspects of the matter which are not generally appreciated by the public Safety is naturally the first consideration and the provisions of the Air Navigation Orders state that an aircraft shall fly over a town at such an altitude that it can land outside the town if It should have a mechanical breakdown and shall not be flown in such a manner as by reason of low altitude or proximity to persons or dwellings to cause unnecessary danger to any person or property There are a number of circumstances in which an aeroplane may fly low without causing unnecessary danger If it is over an open field it can land safely without damaga to people or property and the faster the aeroplane is being flown the safer it is for speed gives it a wider gliding range and consequently a wider choice of a suitable landing-place WHAT IS LOW The term low flying is liable to misinterpretation Even experienced pilots are unable to judge the height of an aeroplane at all accurately A heavy aircraft at 1000 feet for instance will appear lower than a light single seater at 500 feet whilst noise is apt to influence opinion on this point Flying below a certain altitude Is not prohibited by the Air Navigation Orders because in the interests ot safety the widest possible choice of action must be left to the pilot There are often conditions when what is generally called is the only safe way of flying Except near an aerodrome this low flying causes little inconvenience The most common complaints of low flying arise against pilots who are showing off before their friends on the ground This too often ends in disaster The A A suggests that this form of flying should invariably be avoided TO sit OSOOT WEEKLY And the BEDSTEAD IS FREE!
