Wanted: National Park Multimilionaire

TN THE closing hours of the last ses-
/ sion Representative Rayburn OF
Texas got all worked up over the idea
Of the United States accepting gifts,
especially in connection with legations
abroad, arguing that it was beneath
the dignity of a great nation. Rep
resentative Rogers of Massachusetts,
replied to him and said in part:
1T has been habitual on the part of
the United States congress to author
ize the acceptance of gifts. We Oc-
cupy a legation at Bangkok that was
presented to US by the emperor of
Siam. We occupy building in
Morocco that was presented to US by
the emperor of Morocco. We occupy
a consulate in Tahiti that was pre-
sented to US by the reigning queen of
the islands. If it is true that in the
past we deemed 1t proper to accept
gifts from potentates, why is it igno-
minious now for US to accept gifts
from American citizens who, in the
opinion of the President of the United
States, seek to present to us objects
which it is desirable for the United
States to possess? Time and time
again we have authorized the accept
ance of gifts of various kinds and of
great value"

They had to agree whether or not the
entire rent was to be settled in terms
of corn, or whether other crops should
have a share. They decided the mat
ter of the quality of the corn that Mr..
Kashrent was to bring his landlord,
and where it was to be delivered
There was question as to whether or
not date should be established on
which the tenant must declare his OPP
tion-cash or corn-and whether or
not the landlord should have a similar
choice. Perhaps they had to recast
the whole lease TO agree to the new
terms of payment and without ref
erence to the cash at all, but in the
end they had contract which gave
justice and protection to both parties
If crop prices should prove so unstables
as some men predict they will be. In
addition, Mr. Kashrent has a landlord
whom he respects and Mr.. AcreOwner
has tenant whom he can rely upon.
Landlords and tenants who find
themselves facing a similar problem

Frocks of lace have become simpler
and even more charming than ever.
Much crepe de chine Is used in COM
bination with lace. Such a union
makes a garment which is soft and
clinging, SO that this fabric is more
suitable as a foundation over which to
drape soft filmy nets than any Of the
heavier silks.
White crepe de chine and black lace
ia well liked combination in ex-
elusive dressmaking circles. Women
appear loath to abandon the vogue for
black and white which came upon us
so suddenly and ran such rapid
course that In the natural order of
things its existence should have been
a brief one. Its long life, however,
Is no doubt due to the fact that black
and white is practical, filing many
needs in both the limited and the ex-
tensfve wardrcbe-and, used In con-
junction with each other, is likewise
becoming to almost all women.
Demure Models In Popular Gray.
Crepe de chine frequently consorts
with satin in the newest models turned
out by the great French dressmakers.

Smooth Git Ye, If Ye Don't Watch Out

nURING the debates in congress
~ over the appropriation bills for the
departments there were a thousand
and one outbreaks over the "army Of
employees" Some were bitter
clashes;" others were amusing.
Senator Smoot of Utah on one occa-
sion attacked an agricultural depart
ment item. He said there were now
$1,000 employees in Washington, as
against 10000 to $4,000 before the
war Senator Gronna of North Da-
kota agreed with Senator Smoot in
general, but defended the particular
bureau, contending that an increase
in the force was necessary because it
was overworked. Thereupon Senator
Smoot said in part:
Mr.. Smoot-I am going down to that
division of the department, for

to see one department of our govern
ment whose clerks are overworked. I

Sash Enhances

The sash has been through many

popularity. Its coming out of OBJ

enthusiasm as the return to the stage

a time in retirement. 1t came back

sashes that our grandmothers wore on
their white muslin frocks. In this
guise it was met with acclaim by all
women, young and old. 1t could not
have come in more appealing way.
The sash has stayed with us now
for several seasons much longer
time than the usual life of a fashion.
During this period, however. it has
undergone many changes. No longer
