TAX WILL
BAR MANY
VOTERS
Virginia Opponents Believe He
Has Delayed Too Long in
Accepting COP. Nomination

RICHMOND, Va, April 2S.-
Democratic leaders here and else
where in Virginia are puzzled by
the refusal Of c. BaScom Slemp
to say whether or not he win
accept the Republican nomina-
ton for Congress from the Ninth
district Of southwest Virginia.
Slemp today is at his old home
in Big Stone Gap, Va. An an
nouncement Of his acceptance or
refusal of the nomination is ex-
pected at any time.
They claim that his silence has
now been prolonged to such an
extent that it will be very diff
cult for the G. o. P. to carry the
district. either with or without
Slemp as the nominee.
The reason why these Demo
Gratis feel that they practically
have the Ninth district ''in the
bag" already is that the period
for the payment of poll taxes ex.
pires on Saturday. They contend
that the G. o. P. has from 1000
to 10000 delinquent voters in the
district whose poll taxes must be
paid by that date, and that there
is not sufficient time remaining
in which to do this.
Poll Taxes Important
Payment Of poll taxes by the
party leaders is one Of the most
important phases of political con-
tests in the Ninth district. The
party which gets the largest per-
centage Of its voters paid up by
the required time, six months be-
fore the election, usually wins.
Slemp is well aware of this
fact, and his indeciSion as to
whether he will make the race
is all the more puzzling to politi-
cal observers for that reason. The
Republican leaders in the Ninth
have been marking time, waiting
to get a candidate and a war
chest before going after the de-
linquent voters, and now with
only 10 days remaining, they have
neither.
Democrats Active
The Democrats, on the other
hand, have been actively paying
up poll taxes for some weeks and
have an aggressive candidate in
John w. Flanagan. of Bristol.
They are confident of victory and
believe that whatever chances the
G. o. P. had have been thrown
away by Slemp's indecision.
He was nominated in conven-
ton more than three weeks ago
and has been expected ever since
to say whether he would accept.
It is understood that he has not
visited the district since his nom
ination for a conference with
the leaders there. At present he
is said tc be In Washington,
where he is engaged in the
practice of law,

Riding Habits

There is little change
in riding habits, their
big story being in their
colors-navy coat with
cadet blue breeches,
brown coat with yellow
beige or banana
breeches. S uch nova
tion as pastel breeches
and shirts are being
shown for summer, but
are watched with wary
eye by the conservatives.

Knitted Suits of
Great Popularity

Knitted suits are seen
everywhere, and in very
smart types. The three
piece suit usually has a
tuck in mesh blouse,
most often with short
sleeves or sleeveless, a
yoke or fitted skirt, and
the jacket may be the
lumber jacket type, a
cardigan, or a bolero.
Flannel suits are clever
and youthful, especially
in the modified Norfolk
jacket type that intro
duces quite a blouse,
with the skirt tight
about the hips and flar-
ing low.

Bathing Suits
Are Still Backless

This summer will see
one-piece or two-piece
knitted bathing suits on
smart swimmers, follow
ing the rule that active
sports clothes are made
for action. Many of them
will be accompanied by
capes or robes of terry
cloth, or a richer fabric,
always in a harmonizing
color. Black, navy and
dark colors lead for
swimming suits. Bathing
suits for lounging on the
beach are Of printed silk,
shantung or, very new,
of linen. They follow
dress lines, often with
tuck-in blouses, and are
nearly always accom-
panied by a cape or coat.

Sports Clothes Are
For Active Women

Actual sports clothes
are designed for women
who play games of golf,
tennis and so on. Each
type has a. special use,
is specialized for that
particular activity, but at
the same time, most of
them may add a jacket
and become a spectator
sports costume.

Sports Jewelry
Must Be Simple

Less jewelry is worn
with sports clothes than
we've seen for sometime,
and what is chosen is al
ways simple, Of wood,
composition or very
simple chokers or semi
precious stones. Neck
lines are gen orally
higher, so that even a
choker is often SUPER
fluous.

Mannish Coats
Are Always
Correct
The polo type coat
seems to be enjoying
favor now, as a street
or sports coat, and it is
always excellent to wear
over a riding habit or
golf frock. The tweed
coat with scarf collar
that loops into a bow is
good, and the mannish
double breasted coat
with belted back has in"
finite chic.

The Dress Of the

Semi-sports frocks to

The return of the shirt
waist frock is predicted,
and we've seen modified
versions Of it here al
ready. It has the natu-
raj waistline, fuller
sleeves, higher neckline
and gored skirt of the
Gibson girl, but the girl
is so changed that the
dress is scarcely recog-
nizable.
Then the one piece
dress, double breasted
and belted at the normal
waistline is here, for
golf or general wear
under tweed coats. Two
piece frocks are usually

smart with cap sleeves.

are Of crepe de chine,

Sleeveless Frocks
Are Worn
With Jackets

Inc most popular sum-
mer sports outfit will un-,
doubtedly be the sleeve
less dress with a jacket.
The newest thing about
these frocks Is that they
may have a square cami-
sole neckline, t h cir
waistline is normal,
practically always belted,
their fullness is placed
low, leaving the hips
smooth. Hemlines are
longer than last summer
coming two or three
inches below the knee.
Jackets for these
frocks are usually the
cardigan, but modified,
either by adding formal
details, or by flaring
from the shoulders mod
estly. Jackets may be
of a contrasting fabric,
flannel, tweed, silk, cha
nois, or nearly anything.
