l. .ers, bat nothing seems to take
the place of the heavy brushed wool
sweater for outdoor wear. School
girls and college girls find it one Of
the most popular garments in their
wardrobe, not only for skating and
skiing and athletic meets, but for
general wear as well.
The brushed wool slipover is not
confined to the school girl, how
ever, for her older sister, her
mother and her aunts, all hail it as
one Of the most desirable knitted
outerwear products. 1t is one of
those happily designed garments
where style and comfort meet, and
due to the fact that it may be worn
with or without a coat, is equally
at home IN town or country.
...Colors and collars also have much
to do with the popularity of the
brushed wool slipover. For those
Of conservative tastes, there are
colors that will please, and for
those wishing something to agree
with gay mood, there are any
number of colors and color COM
bln2tions. Stripes in keeping with
fashions edicts, play an extreme
la important part.
One of the newest sweaters has
q collar standing up just at the
back which serves a utilitarian
purpose, being a perfect wind
SHIELD, and also introduces an indi-
vidual style note.

One Of the main difficulties nov

With her reduced population
about equal to that of New York
City-Austria still has about as

she was a great empire with ten

Many Face Layoh
Between now and Dec. 81, this
year, some $4,000 people must be
laid off. Something like 10000 have
already got the sack-with an in
demnity for summary dismissal or
a bonus for voluntary resignation.
Ask any city hall politician how
he would feel were he told to fire

sore. And he'd be scared, too.
Afraid for his hold as a political

MORRIS CANAL
SUGGESTIONS
New Ship Canal Included in
Discussion of Abandoned
Waterway Problem

TRENTON. May 10:-Following
he request by Governor Silzer for
suggestions as TO what shall be done
with the Morris Canal property, the
governor announced today that
among the ideas he had received was
n suggesting that the state retain
title to the canal property and that
1t would lease such parts as may be
desired TO utility companies and the.
various municipalities along the line
of the ditch.
It was suggested that the portion
of the canal in the metropolitan sec
ton be used for a rapid transit sub
way with a boulevard 1t the surface.
The t. be derived from
such leases are proposed to be used
to develop a park in the upper re-
sions of the canal.
The governor did lot divulge the
source of the suggestion which he
saw fit to make public. The letter
10 the governor, in part, follows:
This canal question should be
considered from the point OF view
of the state, and the state should
retain title TO the canal property as
a whole and lease such parts of it
as desired by the several municipal
ties or utility companies for such
purposes as may be most in the in
terest of the public, the leases to be
On such terms as will provide a fair
return to the state and will provide
trevenue to enable the state to make
use of unproductive sections OF the
canal to the best advantage.
There seems to be a general
agreement that the metropolitan Sec
tion of the canal should be used for
a rapid transit subway with a boule-
ward at the surface level. 1t is not
fair to the state, however, that the
avenue from such use should go to
reduce the taxes solely of the NUM-
cipalities concerned. This revenue
should be available to the state as
q whole to create a park system in
the upper regions of the canal. if
That seems best, and if any balance is
left it should benefit the state as a
whole and lot individual sections.
1.-The wishes of the localities at
fected are entitled to a good deal OF
weight in determining the use to
which the canal should be put, but
they are not entitled to a free gif. of
the property.
Some of them may argue that the
appropriation of a cash payment TO
the proposed Central Jersey Ship
Canal entities them to demand the
rest of the canal property. That
does not follow, because the oro-
posed Ship Canal will remain the
property of the state and will not be
owned by the municipalities through
which it runs, and if there should
ever be any revenue from the Ship
Canal, that revenue should belong
10 the state
