Gus year by $273,24S. according
to the annual report of the State

mended that the present law be

Reiterating it's position in the
controversy regarding the with.
drawal of Federal aid funds from

the Staunton, New and Shenan-

these streams are navigable, the
commission denied their naviga-
bility.

CONSTRUCTION
SHOWS Com

Growing confidence that bust
ness will be better before long
Is pointed out as an encouraging
factor by the Bank Of Montreal
in its latest monthly summary Of
business conditions in Canada.
This confidence persists in spite of
the fact that the decline in COM
modify prices appears not to have
been checked.
The report adds:
"Some large undertakings are
under way, such as the Cana
dian National Railway terminal
at Montreal, and extensive
water power development in
Quebec, Ontario and the west
ern provinces. President Beatty
has declared the intention Of
the Canadian Pacific Railway to
proceed with . building pro-
gram that ordinarily might be
deferred for q year or two.
Geater industrial activity may
reasonably be expected to fol
low upon the tariff revision,
and the beneficial ramificatiOns
of industrial activity are wide.
Foreign market conditions re-
main unfavOrable to the export
trade in farm products, minerals
and manufactures, and until
this condition alters, enlarged
operations may be confined to
domestic markets.
I'm some branches Of retail
trade customary autumn ac-
tivity has occurred, and con-
siderable tourist influx during
the last four weeks has helped

provement has taken place. The

average crops. have been resped.
The low price of grain, however,
contracts the purchasing power
of farmers and retards revival of
trade, and the same may be said
of livestock and dairy products.
Shipments of live cattle to the
British market are being made
after a lapse of several years"

RETAIL STOCKS
INCREASE 1873

Stocks Of goods on the retail
merchants shelves in the past
year have increased 1913 per cent
in terms of days supplies, accord
ing to a current survey by the
Standard Statistics Company. Per
tinent parts of the result of the
survey, which covers cross.sec

HOOVER BLAMED
FOR SLUMP

CONVENTION HALL. Syra-
cuse, Sept. 30 1Ns0.-Presi-
dent Hoover's administration of
the National Government was
pictured as in a state of COM
plete collapse by United States
Senator Robert r. Wagner, key
note speaker of the Democrats
State Convention which opened
here today.
Senator Wagner laid the blame
for the business depression and
the "haggard bread lines" at the
White House door; he charged
that the Republican party had
failed to make good the prom
ises made in the 1928 campaign
and he said that ''the depth Of
it's despair is exceeded only by
the profound distress to which
it has brought our country
The speaker charged the Re-
publican administration at Wash
ington with ''tinkering and
trifling" with prohibition, and
he declared the Republican party
in New York State has pur-
sued an even more erratic course" ="
Referring to the action Of the
Republican State convention at
Albany last week in adopting q
plank calling for repeal Of the
Eighteenth Amendment, Senator
Wagner asserted:
"Tts present manuvers are
manifestly an insincere surren.
der to political expediency.
Confidence is not justified by
its record Of everchangtng pro-
fessions, the Republican party
cannot be trusted with prOhi.

Spring Gloves Pull. On
And Are Very Plain

Gloves, like stockings, are in
conspicuous in the Spring pie
ture. So they tune to hosiery
colors and hosiery tunes to
costume colors.
The best daytime gloves are
pull-OnS in four to six button
lengths. And they are worn
wrinkled around the wrist For
early Spring you Will probably
choose suede, but later on, glace
kid. Because they are cooler and
do not soil so easily.
In choosing costume gloves,
the best rule to follow is to select
ineonSpicuOuS decorations that
tone in with the costume. And
they are best when slip-ons in
stead Of euffed gloves. The very
short glove with one button or
snap is now worn only with the
tailored suit or the coat with
very tight sleeves.
Long gloves for evening are in
fashion again. And white glace
kid is first choice :. because it
can be worn with many costumes.
But off-white tones that harmon
i3e with costume colors are very
smart especially in suede.
The Washington times., 1930-03-18
Stockings Darker
Than Last Spring

Spring stockings are some
what darker than they were last
Spring, but somewhat lighter
than they hSve been this past
Winter. And they will blend
closely with the costume color,
that they may be rs ineOnSpicu-
Gus as possible.
Daytime stockings take their
cue from costume colOrs. So the
medium and light browns and
beiges, net reddish Gr pinky, but
clear, neutral tones assume
new impOrtance-because they
go with the popular costume col
OTIS Of Spring.
And there viii be more taupe
and gun metal, because there will
be many all-blaek costumes.
Evening stocking colOrs ara q
combination of costume and COM
plexiOn matching. So we find the
flesh pastels most popular. But
there is a new idea for evening
stockings paStels 10 match
your frock.
Very sheer hose are smaFtest
for everything except sports
wear. The reinforcement should
be low and narroW.
The Washington times., 1930-03-18
Spring BlOuses Are Either
Tuck-ins or OverblOuses

The new blOuses are of two
kinds .. tuek-ins and over
blouses. And when they are over
blouses, they are shorter than
they formerly were-sften just
to the waigtline.
Like every other Spring fash
ion, they must be appropriate for
the occasion. So we have formal
blOuSes, semi-formAl blOuses and
informal blouseS.
Formal blouses win be of silk
-. fat crepe or satin Less for
NAL blOUses are of less formal
silks-hke shantung and silk
shirting-and of linen or eottonS
like hatiSte and pique.
And these formal and informal
blouses fan into two more classes
those with dress details and
those with mannish shirt details.
BlOuses with dress details may
have draped necklines, seamings,
bows, bolero effects. And shirt
details include norfolk yOkes, slot
seams linked or buttoned cuffs
and bosom frOmtS.

"Ensembling" of
Great Importance
This Spring

When you see q woman who
impresses you as looking particu-
larly distinctive this Spring, you
may be sure she has carefully
considered the ensembling of her
costume.
By "ensembling" is Of course
meant choosing every detail Of
the costume to harmonic with
every other detail.
They mast hGrrHORize ia WsSte-
rial. A hat Of satin, for instance,
would not harmonic with a
tweed coat. A felt hat would har-
monize, rs the feeling Of both
materials is similar.
They must kar1HORize IN color.
Black shoes, for example, would
not be chosen to wear with n
brown dress.
They must h0rWSOntze N de-
gree of for~Hlity, semi-formal-
ity, or informality. An informal
type of blouse would not be worn
with a very formal suit.
Ensembling is particularly i'm
portant to remember when choos-
ing accessories-shoes, hats,
gloves, stockings and jewelry.
She has also considered the
appropriateness of her costume.
The Spring mode has greater
formality. And each costume
should be appropriate for the
occasion.
She has also considered the
individuality of her costume, and
has selected not just any dress in
the accepted silhouette, color and
material, and appropriate for the
occasion, but one that is particu-
larly suited to her.

The shirtwaist dress is . new

very practical and becoming.
Skirts that are pleated are the
skirts for the active sports
woman. But spectator skirts
usually find their fullness in cir

Romance Inspires New
Spring Evening Modes

These lovely feminine dresses
are Of chiffon, net, fat erepA
satin or taffeta. And later On,
watch for organizes and e0etDa
nets.
With long fuIl-skirted dresses,
hip-length wraps are worn. With
not 50 full dresses, three quarter
length wraps. And they are Of
transparent velvet, tafteta anA
lame IL. or when very, very nsW,
Of velveteen.
You are smaFteSt when yUUR
wrap matches your dress exactly
:. and evening shoes are gen
orally dyed to match the Wr@R
or dress.

Spring evenings are n time
when you can be as romantic as
you like-and 1880 Spring fash
ion will help you!
There's romance in every line
Of the new evening dresses. In
the full-skirted fashions inspired
by the Spanish. In the quaint
hustle back adaptations of the
1905. In the slim, high-waisted
Empire modes.
They're feminine to the very
tips Of their hemS which come
just below the ankle when even.
And when they're uneven, the
short in front line with ankle
length N the back Is the accepted
IaaEth.

Handbags are Flat

Whatever else they may be,
Spring handbags are fat and
neat. And the fat, neat shapes
most women are carrying are the
envelope, the Swagger with top
handle, and the pouch.
You'll see mostly calf le&thers
and suede, trimmed with stitch
ing, with simple appliques, with
quietly ornamental clasps. And
some Watersnake to ensemble
with watersnake shoes.
With daytime costumes, hand
bags most often match the color
Of the coat and are very
smart when of the coat fabric.

Jewelry Gives Accent

Daytime jewelry is used to
give color accent to the costume.
That's one reason why colorful
semiprecious stones are fashion
able.
And that's why, too, pearl
necklaces and antique silver and
gold are fashionable. Because
often . eolorful costume is best
accented by a different, harmo-
nizing color rather than match
ing jeWelry.
In the evening, jewelry is used
to give q formal sparkling ac-
cent. So you'll see many spark
