New Styles Are Flexible
Ideal Selections Which May Be Made This
Season Give Assurance of Comfort-Hats
Better Adapted to Warm Weather.
Varying Colors.

throughout the warmer weeks. Usually
they are made without sleeves, or with
short sleeves with little jacket having
long or three-quarters sleeves. A collar
or vestee Of white lace or embroidery
gives dress of this soft smartnesS and
freshness. Or you may choose a sheer
dark dress of navy blue or brown.
Possibly dark dresses seem out OF
place to you on Summer day. If so,
you can wear white or any light tone
with confidence because this Summer
fashion approves light tones for town
wear An all-white jacket dress Of
washable silksis an excellent investment
and may be worn with white, black or
colored accessories. Red or blue
red and blue, yellow or green are COM
bined effectively with the all-white cos
tune. White was never more generally
worn by we'll dressed women than it is
this Summer. At the Summer resorts
and country clubs the majority OF
women are opponents of this fashion.
White linen, white pique and white
cotton mesh are seen at every turn.
\
THE separate skirt of white pique
has been revived this Summer, and
II you have not already added one to
your wardrobe. you should do so now.
1t may be bought separately or as part
of a two or three piece ensemble. 1t Is
smartest when worn with a sleeveless
white pique blouse tucked in at the
waist and worn with a wide patent
leather belt-black, red, bright blue or
green-or it may be worn waistcoat
fashion. over the skirt at the front. A
straight line jacket Of pique Is some
times added to the white pique costume,
though usually little packet OF silk or
linen In bright contrasting color Is
chosen.
If you have time and inclination to
do a little home dressmaking. you can
make number of these little jackets
yourself. Make one Of blue or brown or
black crepe with large white coin dots
and save enough Of the material to
make a neck bow. Then wear your
dotted jacket with a white pique or
cotton mesh and finish the picture
with the bow at the front of the collar.
A blue flannel jacket made with
straight long sleeves and finished with
brass buttons or a nautical emblem on
the sleeve will prove a most useful ad-
dition to your vacation wardrobe. These
jackets are made Of very lightweight
flannel without Innings, and are very
smart when worn with a white skirt
and blouse or a white one-piece dress.
For beach or boating the same jacket
may be worn with white COB trousers
or pajamas.
One of the most interesting develop
ments of the Summer fashions has been
the acceptance of the jacket with short
or three-quarter sleeve. To be sure,
this fashion was originated months
ago and was launched last Spring, out
the significant fact is that it has been
accepted so enthusiastically in this
country.

Furniture Makes
Picnics PleaSanter

If you go picnicking often, by all
means put seine money into picnic fur
niture.
You can buy little folding stools for
less than a dollar each, quite comforta-
BILE and attractive. For a little more
you can buy a camp chair with back,
which Is much more comfortable for
some persons. These folding stools take
up little room and certainly make pic
MICS more comfortable for the older
members Of the party.
You can also buy q cheap folding
table for picnicking, and that, too, adds
to the picnic's comfort. Sometimes the
table--but then it costs more-folds into
a box to carry the picnicking equip
ment and unfolds into a table.
A couple of cushions and a steamer
rug ought to be included in the pic
nicker's equipment. A coarse, cheap
rug is quite all right-just something
to spread on the ground for the pic
nickers to sit or lie on. Put away or
spend a certain amount of money each
week to make this years picnicS pleas
anter, and just see how much you can
add to their comfort at a really rea-
sonable cost.

tiers are going about in party slippers
in the daytime. How can any one keep
from getting pneumonia in the Winter
time If she wears shoes with paper
weight soles? And what support does
the flimsy little shoe of the moment
give to the foot. anyway?
Those are their questions. The better
foot health of the present generation
ought to be answer enough. Our feet
are remarkably grateful for such air
and freedom as We give them-and our
modern shoes give them lot more than
shoes of the last generation.
To be sure, modern heels are I'M
compromisingly high. The smart sill
houette demands a high heel And
there may be objections to that. from
the point of view of foot comfort But
the modern young women slips from the
highest heels into heelless sandals and
back again at moments notice, and
so gives her feet frequent rest and
change. And so they seem to bear up
under the strain Of high heels.

Don't Let the Dust
Get Ahead of You

OF course, there is such a thing as
being too much concerned with the
matter Of busting, but the dusty house
is never a well kept house, no matter
how you regard it. And very little time
Is saved in the long run when busting
is neglected. The woman who goes
around with a buster and dust mop
every day and who makes 1t part OF
the weekly routine to go over all mold
ings and lodges with slightly mois-
tened dust cloth never has those really
hard sessions of cleaning which come
when dust in allowed to accumulate.
Dust Is really injurious to books and
ornaments and impairs the surface Of
finely polished wood. A very little dust,
as much as may accumulate within "a
hours, may be lightly picked up with a
slightly oily dust cloth. But layer Of
dust thick enough to be clearly visible
cannot be rubbed off or picked up from
the furniture without slightly scratch
ing the wood.

Shoes Fit With Comfort

PRETTY feet are as much admired
i now as they ever were, but girls
of today are very little concerned about
the size of shoes they wear. The size
OF ones shoes depends to a great extent
on ones height, and since girls of the
present generation are taller than their
mothers-due in large measure. to ath-
letics-it Is only natural that their feet
are larger. If mother, with a height
Of feet inches. wears No. 3, while
her daughter who Is 3 inches taller,
wears a No or g. it does not mean
that feet are actually becoming larger.
Model shoes may still be of the
smaller sizes, but the shoes that most
dress models wear are we'll above the
average in length, because girls who
are chosen to display new frocks and
wraps are usually we'll above the aver
age in height. One very charming
model of our acquaintance unblushing-
ly admits that she wears a No. 9. And
in one family Of four exceptionally at
tractive young women of the modern
athletic type the Oldest Of the quartet,
who wears a No. shoe, is called Gin
derella by her sister because of her
fairy feet!
Really there is no reason why any
girl need know what size shoe she
wears anyway, because modern shoe
dealers invariably measure the feet
carefully before attempting to fit shoes
and usually the size marks in the shoes
are done in a code that you cannot
understand.
1t Is safe to say that most all foot
ills come from badly fitting shoes, and
one reason why girls of today are less
addicted to corns and bunions and
other Affections of that sort is because
they realize the importance of getting
shoes that are large enough and of
the right last.
Probably one Of the things that makes
the modern shoe better for the foot is
one of the things women of an Older
generation-men, too-worry about.
That is, modern shoes are light in
weight. Older women, who don't
change with the times, but still wear
substantial shoes, are quite likely to
worry about the fact that their daugh-

sheer dresses to wear in
town, for many fashionable
women are spending at least part
of their Summer in the city this year.
Social events are taking place at
backyard gardens and on terraces,
This has had considerable influence in
changing the trend in buying Summer
colthes and on the time of the exodus
to the country.
What with the tennis courts, and
yachting. even sports clothes are now
an important part of the city wardrobe.
Today we are showing a carefully
chosen selection of hot weather clothes
for town wear. There are no floral
prints. although we admit that they are
practical. but plain colors are newer
and smarter.
CHIFFON suits have the jackets and
~ blouses made double. Felt hats
have made their appearance much
earlier than usual and it is very smart
to wear them with the sheer chiffon
suit.
Hats of shiny felt in typical Empire
effects are new this Summer. They are,
of course, worn low over one eye. 1t
is a good idea to buy these felt hats

Carl w. Bahr, the investigator who

the need for the proposed measure is
being magnified and is preventing Con-
greSS from considering other matters.
Senator Howell said the section re-
ferred to by Senator Walsh has been
the law in the District for Is years, and
is included in the pending bill because
this bill repeats the Sheppard act.
Senator Blaine opened the debate by
declaring that corruption exists in any
department of the Government that
is called upon to help enforce prohibi-
ton. He concluded with the state
ment that Congress is being called
upon ito devote days and days to the
discussion of a prohibition measure
applicable to the District of Columbia,
which no doubt will go the same way
as all other prohibition laws, with its
corrupting influence"
Dry Corruption Denied.
Answering these attacks later, Sen
ator Morrison denied prohibition has
led to corruption. Corruption. as re-
lated to the liquor traffic, did not COM
mence with the eighteenth amendment"
said Senator Morrison. He added that
regulation, prior to prohibition, was
as corrupt as they picture proh1bl-

Senator Brookhart, Republican, of
Iowa, also defended enforcement OFF,
GERS against arguments advanced by
Senator's Blaine and Tydings.
At one point in the debate Senator
Tydings said the drys were not willing
TO ask for the amount that would be
needed to enforce prohibition. The
Marylander added that he would vote
for $500, 000, 900 and for 100000 agents,
which. he said, would enable every
agent to watch 500 or 1000 people.
When the Senate discontinued con-
sideration of the Howell bill early last
week, the question under consideration
was the additional search warrant au-
thority in the bill.
Representative Lehlbach, Republican,
New Jersey, demanded in the House
that Congress consider his resolution to
repeal the eighteenth amendment. He
based his demand on the Wickersham
report.
Lehlbach, an administration Repub-
lican, predicted that the party which
fails now to meet the prohibition issue
squarely, will be overwhelmingly re-
pudiated at the next national election"
Pointing out that a majority of the
Wickersham Commission believed the
eighteenth amendment could never be
adequately enforced, Lehlbach con-
tended that Congress must no longer
temporize."

WILBUR DEMANDS
FULL SHALE PROBE
Senator Glenn Also Asks In
quiry Into Publication of
Kelley Charges.

BY the Associated Press.
A show down" on Ralph S. Kelley's
oil shale charges was demanded yes
terday by the administration at the
opening of the Senate's investigation OF
statements made by the former land
Office official.
Secretary Wilbur insisted the Lands
Committee make a full investigation
and give the Interior Department an
opportunity to answer every charge.
simultaneously Senator Glenn, Repub-
lican, Illinois, demanded the commit
tee inquire into the circumstances sur
rounding publication of the charges.
Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana,
author of the resolution authorizing the
investigation, said the committee was
not authorized to make complete in
quiry.
Wilbur Seeks Clearance.
Later in the day. however, Wilbur, In
a letter to Chairman Nye, said further
authority was not necessary to bring
officials and records of his department
before the committee.
Wilbur and Solicitor Finney of the
Interior Department were the only wit
nesses called yesterday.
The Secretary was not questioned,
but at the end of the session he said:
I'VE propose to see this through to the
last case"
Charges have been informally made
Of certain character" he said, land if
the SenRte is starting in on them we
feel we ought to get clearance from the
Senate"
Walsh explained the purpose of the
hearings merely was to determine
whether a more exhaustive investiga-
ton was necessary.
Wants World Contract.
Glenn announced he wanted to in
struct Kelley, when he appears before
the committee, to bring all correspond
ence and records in connection with his
contract with the New York World for
publication of his charges.
The Illinois Senator also said he
wanted to call whoever made the ar
rangementS for that paper with Kelley.
Kelley did not appear yesterday be-
cause of illness, but he is expected to
be on hand Tuesday.
After refusing to give his charges to
the Department of Justice, which was
ordered by President Hoover to inves-
tigate them, Kelley published his story
in the New York World.
The Justice Department announced
after an investigation the charges were
unfounded.

CASH BONUS PLAN
Administrator Hines Asks for
Jobs Rather Than Money
for Veterans.

Gates, service mems organizations yes
terday raised persistent demands for
cash in testimony before the House
Ways and Means Committee.
Estimating 20O,o to 300, 900 veterans
are jobless, Hines said a considerable
number were in dire need" He urged
special efforts to find work for them.
He said only $4,000 jobs have. been
found through cooperation OF the
Veterans Bureau and the Labor De-
partment since Summer.
Advocates Of cash payments stressed
that acceptable plans might be exc
cuted by the TreaSury'S raising 81 ,0O0,-
OOO This they said was less than one
third of the figure on which Secretary
Mellon and others calculated that con-
version. even If possible, would shake
the securities market.
Statements Similar.
Thomas Kirby, legislative chairman
of the Disabled American Veterans,
argued in a statement for the COM
mittee that at the end of the war the
Government was spending more than
million dollars an hour, and was
planning for the ultimate triumph dur
ing the following year"
THE Treasury Department through
out the long campaign leading up to
the enactment of the adjusted COM
pensation act consistently fought the
whole proposition in principle and in
detail" Kirby added, land a compare
son of the statements just made by the
Treasury officials with the statement
made by the Treasury officials six
years ago shows striking similarity"
Hines divided the 100000 service
men as follows:
Those to whom the service certifi-
cate is just another security in the
strong box; those who, while working,
could use the cash, but would spend
it for other than necessities; and
those especially with families. who
are out of work and in dire need"
Would Involve Sacrifice"
To give the third class cash, on
surrender of their certificates which
represent insurance and their only
security" Hines said, would involve "a
sacrificed" To invite the others to give
up their bonds, which mature In 1945,
he thought most unwiSe."
wouldn't it be better to help them
find Jobs" he asked, land to help
them by creating jobs, SO they could
pay their own way out of this distress?"
John Thomas Taylor, representing
the American Legion, said he believed
the action of the Executive Committee
two weeks ago, sponsoring conversion,
represented the sentiment throughout
the 100000 membership Of the organl-
cation.
Representative Garner of Texas
asked whether this represented Senti-
ment of service men outside the le-
gion, and Taylor said he could not
answer for them.
