MR.. PEEK'S PART

(Des Moines Tribune -CapitaD
Perhaps not every reader Of the Tribune Capita
caught the following sentences in David Lawrence
recent letter from Washington:
The truth is there is no inconsistency at all.
Mr.. Peek would hesitate to say it aloud, but
he,. too, has discarded the equalization fee
and the McNary-H -Haugen plan, largely because
the battle against the theory that the fee is
% unconstitutional is. in his judgment, too diff
ficult to carry on.
But Mr.. Peek sponsored the plank in the
Democratic platform, which did not mention
either the McNary- -Haugen plan the equal
lzation fee. He was in conference with the
platform makers at Houston. And the plank
favors another method Of distributing the cost
Of controlling the surplus.
With what consistency does Peek challenge Go,
srnor Hanmil in view Of this record, which probabl
h will not question:.

ZINE feathers make fine birds.
How true the old saying is!
The loveliest bird, with its

loses claims to beauty. Even the

drab and plebian.
Every woman is happier when
she knows she is appropriately
and neatly dressed, because this
knowledge gives her confidence IN
herself, an assurance that dispeis

why good clothes and success so
hand in hand.
Good clothes in themselves,
however, mean little, unless they
are worn well. I have seen fat
