EARNINGS ARE INDEX
TO U. S. PROSPERITY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 24.-From many
lines Of industry, even from those
whose securities have not enjoyed the
favor of the stock market recently, such
as the motors and the oils. today came
reports Of brilliant earnings in the FIRST
half of 1929.
weeks hence, 1t will be shown that the
first six months Of the year have wit
messed the highest tide of industrial
prosperity In the history OF the United
States.
These reports are soon to be supple
mented by those from the railroads.
which are just beginning to publish
their statements for June and for the
half year. The public utilities have
had practically an unbroken record of
increasing gross and net earnings with
an ascending scale OF electrical energy
generated, for several years
Among the most striking of the
earning reports available today we're
those Of the electrical manufacturing
companies. such as General Electric
and Westinghouse Electric. Both indi-
cate the activity in the manufacture
Of electrical equipment and appliances
and the income which they are receiv-
ing from their investments In sub
salaries identified with the radio in
dustry. In the six months to June
so the General Electric Co. did gross
business nearly IS per cent in excess
Of that of the same period of 1925.
The Westinghouse Electric in the same
period expanded the money value Of
its output s27 900, 900, or 80 per cent.
The investment trusts also are max
ing wonderful statements for the half
year, though most Of the profit which
they show for this period comes from
the sale of securities rather than from
the income on their portfolios of stocks
and bonds They have been taking
advantage Of the rapid changes in the
speculs tive trend from one group OF
securities TO another.

TAXI MEN SEEKING
STATUS AS UTILITY
Larger Operators Reverse
PoSition-ASk for Uniform
Service Charges.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 24.--Many of tie
larger taxi operators throughout the
country are clamoring for State and
public utility. This is a distinct re-
verSal of the position taken by many
carriers. The lake steamer lineI, for
example, always have maintained they
were not a public utility. Tbs pro-
ponents of regulation by State public
utilities commissions or the interstate
Commerce Commission declare 1t WOULD:
standardize the business and obviate
much waste.
Uniform rates, such as are imposed
on the railroad and other vehicles in
interstate and intrastate commerce, are
strongly urged by Ernest II. Miller,
president of the Parmelee Transports
ton Co. This corporation operates a
huge system of taxicabs In New York
and Chicago and has just completed
arrangements to put fleets into Pitts
burgh and other Midwestern cities.
Eventually the chain win be made ma
ton wide.
In many cities, including New York,
Mr.. Miller points out, taXiS are prohib-
tied from charging more than a GER
tain sum per mile. but there Is no re-
striction as to how little they may
there are some cabs operating on rate
basis of 40 cents per mile. The major
ity of cabs work on a basis of 80 cents
for the first mile and 20 cents a mile
thereafter. The higher-priced cabs
their rivals say, are not the best or
most luxurious. They make q specially
of the business at or near the steam
ship docks and their patrons, many of
them, are foreigners.
At the present general scale the rates
in New York are lower than in any
other city except Paris. The margin.
the managers of the big cab companies
assert, is extremely narrow. They do
not deny they make excellent profits
but say these profits come from opera
lions of large number Of units at the
narrow margin.

Some of these new compacts

My Secrets
of Charm
By Josephine Huddleston

TT seems like only yesterday
that what painting and pow
dering women INDUCED in
was done entirely within the
secret confines of the home, and
then, more likely than not, be-
hind tightly drawn shades and
with trembling fingers.
l remember distinctly the first
pot of rouge l found in my
mothers chiffonier. 1t was hid
den away underneath the gloves
and handkerchiefs and when /
saw it / was torn between delight
at experimenting with this fasci-
mating and forbidden thing and
horror at the thought that My
Mother painted her face. No such
delicate word as rouge or tint
had then been invented by high
priced advertising writers to take
the "sting'' out of painting"
Talking the matter over with
my playmates on a tour of in
spection which centered on moth
er's dressing tables, revealed the
comforting fact that most of the
nice women in our little city de-
pended upon something other
than bran mullins, plenty of
sleep and exercise to tinge their
cheeks with the bloom Of youth.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-06-02

But I'll wager that not one Of
those mothers would have admit
ted it, because at that time it
was generally thought that no
respectable" woman would do
such a thing!
Then suddenly, overnight,
rouge pots were placed on top Of
dressing tables and face powders
were openly discussed-even at
church meetingsl
No. I'm not very ancient my
self, which isn't particularly in
teresting except that it goes to
prove that not only startling
changes take place within a very
short time, but that we adapt
ourselves to those changes we
like with such whole-souled en-
thusiasm that we forget twas
ever otherwise.
All of which brings US to the
consideration Of one Of these
startling changes. namely. the

until ROLAND. fearful lest she
might be overheard. got her
wraps.
In the taxi. her head on
Rolland's shoulder. Boo-Boo no
ticed something unusual about
Claremont and Hester. who were
with them. Through the haze
OF standardization she couldn't
figure out what was different
about them. "Do you see any
thing very funny about them?"
she asked ROLAND. pointing at
the other couple.
"No, baby, ! don't You're

- REAT diversity Is shown in
7 the Spring collections of
negligees. They include
both plain and elaborate, naive
and sophisticated styles to suit
the individual taste. There are
negligees Of silk, satin, brocade
and velvet made on tailored lines,
others Of sheer materials upon
which lace, embroidery, ostrich
or marebou is lavished, and
many of strictly simple lines.
Gowns of this last sort, worn for
boat and train travel and for
utility at home are popular be-
cause they are'usualiy made Of
the tub silks, crepes or light
woolens and are easily cared for.
Pajamas are steadily becom-
ing more fashionable. Many of
the new sets are Of such smart
ness that they may be worn for
almost any other than a formal
occasion. They are gay and color
full, conventional and pastel, ORR
entail, classic or m~odernistic.
The Chinese coats which first
prompted the idea of this pic
turesque costume form a part Of
many lovely pajama ensembles.
They are made frequently Of
durable Chinese damask in blue,
ivory, pale gold or green. Some
are finished with only frog
fastenings, others with embroid-
cry that forms a border or an
all-over, widespread conven-
tionalized flower pattern. Such
coats are TO be worn always with
trousers in plain c%olors, with
perhaps just a cuff band Of
embroidery at the bottom.
Among the unusual designs IN
pajamas is one ensemble in which
the coat Is made Of crepe de
Chine with brown and yellow
checked pattern, bordered in
brown crepe, which Is particularly
fashionable this season, and the
blouse and trousers are Of the
same material in a warm yellow.
Pajamas for Summer night
wear are made Of the printed
satins, ninon or crepe, the smart
models frequently having trou-

oddly enough, did not contain

dancer was initiating a blonde

and the noise.

show business. Ralph. But not
for long,"

above, but has an extra con-

be very popular. especially for
sports use, wnen every article
that must be carried is more or

All Of these compacts have

course, unbreakable.
1t would be impossible for me
to describe the varied way IN
which these compacts are deco
rated, since each manufacturer
has his compacts TO match the
rest Of the packages in MS line.
The craze for color has spread
from the kitchen utensils TO the
new compacts, and n is now
able TO buy them in all shades
from the bright sports colors to
pastel tints, both plain and in
lovely color combinations for
evening use. Then. too. the plain
gold and so-called platinum. in

gold or platinum trim. are good
for evening.
