Criticism
By Crime PrObers
RuffLeS Senators

The Wickersham commission S
criticism of the present system of
choosing United States attorneys
was deftly turned against the
Hoover Administration today by
Senators, who Smarted under an
implied charge that they helped
to name incompetent prosecutors.
Senators Take Offense
Senate leaders took particular
Offense at the commissions decIa-
ration that their use of patronage
in the appointment of Federal at.
tOrneys ''haS a bad effect on the
personnel and conduct of the Of
ficeS."
They retorted, first, that the De-
partment of Justice solicited their
recommendations; second, that
President Hoover could ignore
patronage rights if he so desired,
and third, that they hadn't heard
Of any defects in law enforcement
due to lack of ability in Federal
attorneys. Said Senator Caraway
O0 of Arkansas, sarcastically:
II deeply resent tkis unwar-
ranted affrOnt to President
Hoover. 1t is outrageous to in
innate that he yielded to the
bad influences of the Senate to
make objectionable appoint
mentS."
G. o. P. Chiefs Also Stirred
Republican leaders were Just as
critical of the commission. Such
loyal Administration leaders as
Senators McNary (RO of Oregon
and Bingham (R) of Connecticut
declared the criticism was unjusti-
fled. They insisted Senators we're
as well qualified to name COM
petent prosecutors as any other
Government officials.

THERE is something trim and nau-
\ tical abcut all these boating pa janss
without the slightest suggestion of neg
ligence about them, and if there ever
was anv feeling that pajamas were a
little too suggestive of the boudoir, GER
tsinly any such suggestion is lacking in
these new nautical pajama costumes.
Beach BAHAMAS, too, have become
spruce and trim. and many of them are
developed in nautical cclors, dark blue
and white, all white, white and red or
white with rcd and blue. With an all
white bathing suit yop may choose a
two-piece all-wtite pajama costume
made Of cotton, linen or jersey.
There is wide variety of materials
to chose from. Terry cloth is used for
trousers and short cardigan jacket in
one practical outfit. Wool jersey is
liked because it does not show the wrin-
kIes, pique has the advantage of being
cool but quite opaque, while linen is
chosen for its crisp snlartness. Cotton
tweed, eponge. calico, shantung and
gingham are other materials used for
the new beach pajama.

For Dance.

Pajamas for dance wear-the jupe
culotte costume of the French dress
makers-are as. yet in the experimental
stage. You may be -devotee to the
pajama costume for beach and boating
wear and still prefer an undivided
skirt for dinner and dancing. But it
is at least fashion that Is worth
watching and the fact that it has not
been enthusiastically taken up this sea-
son as some people expect does not
mean that it will not eventually become
an established fashion.
The less formal pajama costume for
wear at home has a definite place in
the Summer wardrobe. There are
three-piece costumes consisting Of trou-
sers, sleeveless blouse and short jacket
that are especially attractive. For day
time wear you may choose linen with
large colored dots and for leisure hours
of the afternoon and evening you may
choose plain or figured crepe.
One-piece pajanlas for negiige wear
are Is popular aE the two-piece sort.

~ OWN on Long Island the
younger set is motoring IN
pajamas, and going about
~ everywhere in them. Nubby
surfaced shantung and prints
share honors in these dashing hither
and yon pajamas, with shantung per-
haps little smarter. Shantung suits,
both white and natural colored, are as
smart as can be for those short trips
one makes by train from time to time
during the Summer. To top them, the
newest thing is a small panama hat,
about matching the suit in shade. With
this, several Of the gay new hatbands
are required, for those quick changes
that vary the appearance of a hat.
For the pajamas sketched on this
page we have chosen Shantung as best
suited to the beach and for motoring,
If you like to motor in pajamas, and
why not? The very broad-brimmed
basket straw hat shown with the cos
tune looks like a haystack that has

Kid mohair. q wool yarn as
fine and as thin as silk, Is used
for knitting Summer sweaters,
and as many gay colors as you
like are used in their conStruc-

type of sweater Is short Of waist
and short of sleeve. A fad Of the
moment Is the wearing Of thin
wool sweaters with silk suits.
Gloves are worn short, IL and
l6 button lengths are best for
the evening and and button
for the daytime. White and egg
shell hues are smartest at the
moment; it is many seasons
since white gloves have been as
fashionable as they are just now,
but brown gloves promise to be
in demand later In the season.
Hand-stitched gloves are i'm

vogue for rough-surfaced mate
rials. The black hand-sewing is
not confined to white gloves, but
is featured on all the bisque,

THERE is a lot of difference between
l. the pillow that looks tempting in
Winter and the one that looks tempt
ing in Summer. For one thing, the
uses for Summer and Winter sofa
cushions are different. A transplanted
English woman in this country once
gave me a very good suggestion. In
England, she said, she always slipped
bright red or orange covers on her
cushions in Summer, because in Eng
land so much time is spent in the gar
den. And then, when storm threat
ened, it was an easy matter to pick up
the cushions from around the garden.
They didn't melt into the landscape.
They stood out in vivid, bright patches,
and were easy to snatch up.
OF course, we don't have so much
rain in this country But we do have
lots of sudden Summer showers. And
this idea of making our garden pillows
bright enough to find easily is good
one.

Winter ones They should be covered

place of base plug. Get some sort of

tensions.
Remember that if a side light or

Martha's Spinning.

It is said that Martha Washington
kept 16 spinning wheels going at Mount
Vernon much of the time. And she
herself knew how to spin and weave
and do the many other things that. in
those days, were done at home and
that today are done in factories and
workrooms.
OF course, there was factory work
even in those days-materials we're
spun and woven by hand In factories.
And women often did the work. They
would have been as much surprised by
our present-day factories as Lady
Washington would have been surprised
by our department stores with their
yards of brocades and velvets, geor-
gettes chiffons and crepes.
For in those days factory workers
began to work at in the morning
and stopped at at night. Factory
hours of today would have seemed un-
believable.
But how would they have liked the
roar and the routine? Or isn't the
routine of looking after o machine that
spins or weaves any more monotonous
than running a spinning wheel or loom
