THE TREND. OF FASHION

= 49,
INTEREST in navy blue and
bright red is perennial, and
like the crocus and the tulip
is one of the first signs that spring
is here. This year one sees this
combination most skilfully carried
out In, millinery, in frocks and in
numberless little accessories that
help to make the spring Of 1924 so
colorful. The small blue etraw hat
with fascinating red parrot
perched at the back, and the cloche
with the up-turned brim and trim
ming of red sealing wax, are both
opponents of this particular color
scheme. While handkerchiefs, and
scarfs and envelope bags all feature
red and blue.
One of the most successful frocks
seen recently at a fashion exhibi-
ton was of heavy dark blue silk
combined with lip-stick red. The
under skirt was of the red, and the
long tunic of dark blue and circu-
lar godets at the sides of the same
red. Small triangular pieces of red
were placed on the sleeves and
above the godets. These we're en-
broidered very finely in many col
ors that contrived to make the
meeting of the red and the blue
less pronounced. Long ends seem
to be feature of many of the new
frocks. And much hand-work is
seen.
Another f1'ock that emphasizes
the popularity of red and blue is
blue twill one-piece dress with
white organdy collar and cuffs and
scarf of brilliant red. Small
metal buttons on the waist and
pockets add military touch.

The Man

! Livable

!. So often one gets the house re-
decorated for spring and then de-
cides to take rest, but at the last
minute realizes that the room which
belongs to the man of the house has
been neglected. This seems to be the
most serious job of ALL If you 20

tempts are not appreciated or else you
are rebuked for the way in which you
have done the place. EDO it Yourself"
Is the usual answer. and we all know
what that means. If he really starts
to do anything, he gets scared before
he finishes or he hasn't time to do it
right. Ia
A pleasing version of the mans room
Is lacking in those feminine qualities
and vet it is comfortable and decorative
Everything has been carefully con-
sidered from the mans point of view,
and the added touches of beauty are
simple enough not to be bothersome
To begin with, the size of the room and
the needed articles OF furniture are so
balanced that the room is not over
crowded, and yet everything is there.
The desk has an important place, the
bookcases, bed, reading lamp and smok-
ing things are all placed where they
will be within easy reach.

with black outlines. A small windsor
chair fits under the desk and this is
painted pure black. The lowest shelf
of the bookcase is made high enough to
permit room for writing things and
at the left, the lamp with parchment
shade and the tobacco jar and cigaret
box and ash tray. At this end of the
bed are many large, comfortable cush-
ions, so there is a place to lie and read
and smoke. $3.50
The cushions are covered with dull
material in black, green and dark blue

At the opposite side of the desk a

table is hung an oval mirror with black
frame.

black enamel and in its center is a
plain gray rug with darker. gray border.
On the walls it is best to use some
light plain color. Ifsthe room is sunny,
gray can be used, but If 1t is at all
dark it would be better to use warm
light tan or cream color.

All candidates for nomination IN the
primary elections must file their eX-
pense accounts within ten days after
the election, according to the statutes
of this state, while those who secure
the nomination must file their expense
accounts not less than ten days nor
more than Is days before the final
election on November 4.
The statutes bearing upon campaign
expenses reads as follows:
within ten days after any primary
election, all candidates therein shall
prepare a carefully itemized state
ment setting forth each item in de-
tail, with the cost thereof, showing
the full and complete record OF his
expenditures money or other
things of value, including all promises
to pay money for the purpose of aid
ing or that would have a tendency to
aid the success of such candidate IN
such primary election. Together with
such report, each candidate shall file
report in detail for each of the
persons named by him as authorized
to expend money or other things OF
value in his interest. He shall also,
at the same time, file like report
for any person who may have expend-
ed money or things of value for such
candidate, although the name OF such
other person was not among those
filed by such candidate as the names
of authorized agents.
every person who shall be a can
lot IL of
special election to any state, county,
city or town office shall, not more
than fifteen and not less than ten days
before the date of such election, file
full correct and itemized statement
of all moneys and things Of value re-
ceived by him or by anyone for him
with his knowledge or consent, from
any source, in aid or support of his
candidacy, together with the names OF
all those who have furnished the same
in whole or in part, and such state
ments shall contain true and item
lied account of all moneys and things
of value given, contributed and ex-
pended, used or promised, by such
candidate or by his agent, representa-
tive or other person for or in his be-
half, with his knowledge and consent,
together with the names of all those
to whom any and all such gifts, con-
tributions, payments or promises were
made for the purpose of procuring or

the November elections, and provid-
ing always that La Toilette would not
switch number of republican sena-
tors from the Coolidge-Dawes ticket
and procure votes for Bryan The
margin is narrow, and La Toilette
might easily be the deciding factor.
One need only go back to 1916 to
see how delicate is the present sit
uation. In that year the electoral
college stood 277 for Wilson and 254
for Hughes. A third party candidate
controlling, for example, the 13 cleo
toral votes of California, would have
thrown that election into the house
How many electoral votes LaFollette
will control as result of the coming
election is something for political
writer's to figure on. 1t may be some
thing for the two dominant parties to
consider seriously
La Toilette supporters are claiming
he will carry between eight and six
teen states. If he carries only Wis
consin, Minnesota, North Dakota
South Dakota and Montana, such re-
suit would likely precent either Cool
idge or Davis from winning the neces-
sary majority of 266 electoral votes
necessary to elect the president Even
the electoral vote of any one state
might prevent a majority.

Collector Starts Payment
Of Income Tax Refunds

Frank r. Stewart, collector of in
ternal revenue for the district of Ari-
zona, began last week issuing and
mailing out the checks for the refund
of the Is per cent reduction of fed
eral income taxes paid in full for the
year 1928, as provided by the act of
1924. This bill was signed by the
president and became law on June 2.
1t was necessary to list approx
mately 5000 accounts, showing the
names and addresses, serial number
of returns, total amount of tax paid
and the one-fourth due to be refunded.
These lists were then forwarded to
the department for checking and ap-
proval and returned for payment.
Upon the passage of the act it was
necessary for the treasury department
to prepare and issue instructions as
to the procedure for the IS collection
districts throughout the United States.
Upon receipt of the final instructions
received July IA, Mr.. Stewart began
Immediately on this work and by July
26. schedules including the entire 81
900 items were forwarded to the com
missioner of internal revenue at
Washington.
The first approved schedules were
received from Washington August 49,,
and on the same date checks were
mailed to taxpayers. The work of
writing the checks covering these re-
turns will be completed in the very
near future.
While this is being completed cred

Women Enter Into
New Labor Fields

Within forty-one years. if women
continue to desert the ranks of do
mestic service there will be virtually
no domestic employees at all, accord
ing to prophecy made in an analysis
of statistics relating to employed wo-
men in Pennsylvania, just completed
by the Consumers League.
Since 1910 more than 41,000 women
have left domestic service to try their
wings in other fields of endeavor, says
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The spirit of adventure into new
fields for women is asserting itself
noticeably, according to the survey.
Women are becoming stonemasons,
bricklayers, boatwomen, mail carriers,
pawnbrokers, stevedores, cobblers,
shoemakers, coal operators and the
atrical managers and owners.
One out of every five women in
Pennsylvania is employed. In the
clerical fields there are 33,800 more
women, an increase of Ill per cent.
Women are also entering the CONNER
cial world as chemists, metallurg1sts,
assayers and BARRIERS
was recorded. In 1920 there were five
women boatmen, three women long
shoremen and stevedores and one sail
or The World war introduced the
woman chauffeur In the year 1870
seventy women chauffeurs offset only
three such adventurous souls in 1910.
Two women were carriage drivers IN
1920 and 16 were garage keepers.
Increase is found in the number of
women employed by railroads as
switchmen, flagmen, ticket and sta
tion agents. Women mail carriers in
creased in ten years from SO to SO.
Women telephone operators increas-
ed lis per cent. More than 14,901
women earn their livelihood at switch
boards throughout the state. There
are 130 women telegraph operators
and 46 women are telegraph messen-
gers. In 1920 there were 1914 more
saleswomen than in 1910.
Women retail dealers showed an in
crease in the ten year period; 5000
women have entered grocery stores,
1000 candy stores and 800 dry goods;
296 have drug stores, 271 clothing, 326
department stores and 43S cigar and
tobacco stores.
Women decorators and window
dressers trebled in ten years, while
woman real estate agents increased
249 per cent. The largest group of
women in public service includes 521
postmistresses. Women detectives
have increased 131 per cent. There
were five woman sheriffs in 1920.
School teachers numbered 45,904 in
1920, an increase of 1920 over 1910.
Women college professors increased
189 per cent; in 1920 there were 502 in
Pennsylvania colleges. Trained nurses
numbered 1902 in 1920 against 1892
in 1910.
