the children can be safely carried
from kitchen to picnic place.
And the best of it is that with
modern equipment practically Moth
ing has to be taken home.
We haven't found any paper
knives yet. But paper forks and
spoons, paper cups and saucers,
paper plates, paper tumblers and
sauce dishes have been perfected so
they are quite as useful as china,
glass or silver.
There are round plates and square
plates that can be had in two or
three different sizes. If you want
to get fancy, there are divided
plates, just like a china grill plate,
with three sections for keeping
three different articles of food sepa-
rate. These are large enough to be
held safely in the lap if a picnic
table isn't about.
There are squatty containers for
serving salad, vegetables, apple
sauce or anything else that's in a
semi liquid -semi-solid state. There
are platters for cold meat-or the
steak or hot dogs you cook at the
picnic grounds.
Cups come in at least two sizes
and so do forks, and spoons.
And all these things are so in
expensive that they can be tossed

Million Women
to Ask Repeal
of Liquor Lao

By Times Special
NEW YORK, July 2.-Signa-
lures of one million women, urging
the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, will be presented to
congress and President Hoover in
petition, by the NWomen's Moder-
alton Union, it has been announced
by Miss NJ. Louise Gross, national
chairman.
The appeal is being made on
behalf of mothers, who feel
deeply the responsibility for the
welfare OF the coming generation,
and have watched with greatest
anxiety the growth of Incorporate
habits in the country" said Miss
Gross.
1t is the belief Of the organization
that as long as national prohibition
remains in force, all efforts to make
the people of the United States
sober and temperate will be hope
less.
Members Of the organization feel
that characters of men, women and
children are being ruined. their
health undermined, and their re-
spect for honest work being des-
troyed.
Similar petitions will be circulated
at 1882 national political Conven-
tons, the chairman said.

WHAT'S IN FASHION,
More Comfortable Picnics

I into the first convenient trash can
when it's time to go home.
Those decorative paper table
cloths and napkins that you see IN
every stores stationery department
make the picnic table Cor grass
look more appetizing. And there
are place squares Of paper, which
are not square at all but oblong
like the mats in your runner and
mat set that you use on your table
at home.
The vacuum bottle Is almost a
necessity of the modern picnic. But
even more convenient is the vacuum
jug the voluminous one with
the wide mouth that can hold thick
vegetable soups or piping hot stews
for the children.
There are all sorts Of small
collapsible picnic stoves that oper-
ate on canned heat or on the bat
terry of your automobile or the gas in
the gas tank. And they're con-
venient if a really substantial meat
meal is wanted.
And If there's room In the car, you
might like the contraption that
folds up like card table, but opens
out with two benches attached to a
fiat top table.

Belt, Shoes

Color Touch
BY JOAN SAVOY
EEA Service Writer

The Fourth Of July is an excel
lent time to wave the good old red,
white, and blue color scheme and
cash in on its chic value.
OF course you start with a white
frock, or a white one touched up
with either red or blue. Then you
can add the other color in Access
sorry touches and there you are,
not only patriotic, but 100 per
cent fashionable American.
Some Of the new white bathing
suits will stand polka dotted red
and white beach sandals and UNI
brella and a polka dotted blue and
white jacket or coat.
Or you may be better of, so far
as chic is concerned, if you merely
add leather belt half red, half
blue. Or you may go very fam
boyant in your color scheme and
use a coat Of solid color such as red,
and your hat and shoes blue.

costumes, shown here, start life as
two-piece frocks. One, a very nifty
one indeed, and ideal for a holiday
outing on land or sea, is made of
wide vale white pique and tailored
to use the striped design of the
goods itself for a decorative effect.
The stripes of the weave 60 It's
way and that, with the square neck
outlined in pointed scallops and the
front of the blouse finished in
similar manner.
Both blue and white, and red and
white linen add their touches, the
former for the belt, the latter for
the scarf. The hat, if one is worn,
should be white, banded in both
kinds Of polka dotted linen.
The second outfit is neat and
chic, a two-piece white fiat crepe
with bands of blue and red outlin-
ing the round neck, short sleeves,
the belt and simulated bolero on
the waist.
Smart looking and tailored, 1t
waves its colors in quite original
manner and chalks up for itself
reputation for individuality.

Just Do These Two Simple Things
Inches of Fat Melt Awov

Here is quick and easy way to
take OF a pound a day-four to
seven pounds weekl-with never
a hungry moment. A way any doc
tor will tell you is safe and sure.
This Is what you do: Take a tea
spoonful ordinary Jad Salts IN glass
OF water half hour before break
fast every morning. This reduces
moisture weight instantly. Also
cleanses your system of the waste
matter and excess toxins that most
fat people have. and banislaes puff
dneSs and bloat.
Then do this about eating. FILL
YOUR sTOMACH-eat your fill-of
lean meats. vegetables like spinach,
caulIflower, cabbage. tomatoes, etc,
and lots OF salads. Eat lot. Eat
aIl you can hold. Don't go hungry
minute Cut down on butter,
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-07-02

sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any
fruit for dessert.
That's all you do. Fat seems to
melt away. The coarse lines of over
weight give way to the refined ones
Of slenderneSs. You lose as much
as a pound a day. You feel better
than for years. For in this treat
ment you achieve two important
results. The Jad Salts clear your
system of toxins. The diet takes
of fat with food that turns to en-
ergy instead of weight.
If you're tired of being embar-
raised by fat. try this way. You'll
be glad that you did.
'Note particularly-the salts
urged purely as poison-banisl,lng
agent-not as q reducing. The
change in food does the work. You
can get Jad Salts at any drug
tore.-Advertisenent4

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE
CONTROL is LIKELY
Hopes Raised by Reversal
of Results in
Illinois.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The possibility of the Democrats or
ganizing the new House appeared more
promising today upon the report that
the Democratic candidate in the eighth
Illinois district would be issued a GER
tificate Of election.
Although Peter c. Granata, Republic
can, was issued a certificate of election
last November, Secretary OF State STRAIT
ton of Illinois announced at Springfield
that Stanley II. KunZ. Democrat, would
be issued a new certificate on the basis
OF a recount.
Granata Action Doubtful.
What action Granata, who has been
on the pay roll as Representative since
March, will take is unknown here. With
his replacement, the Democrats would
have 215 and the Republicans 2l3 seats
under the present count. However, the
official figures on the standing of the
parties now are 2l4 and 2l4 Until
Kunz's certificate of election is received
by William Tyler Page, House clerk,
there will be no official change.
Under the usual procedure, the House
clerk will turn over the contested seat
If Granata seeks to be seated, with
new certificate for KunZ, the Demo-
Gratis can challenge, and the seat may
be declared temporarily vacant until
the House decides the winner.
Developments Watched.
Leaders in both parties have been
watching the Granata- Kunz contest as
we'll as the race to fill the vacancy in
the first Wisconsin district. However
the Democrats have but slight hope of
taking the Wisconsin seat.
Thomas r. Amlie, Progressive Repub-
lican supported by the La Follettes and
Senator Blaine, was nominated yester-
day to run against the Democratic
nominee, George Kerzog.
The Democrats believe they have a
good chance to win the seat in the
first Ohio district left vacant by the
the late Nicholas Longworth, besides
filling the normally Democratic seats
vacant in Ohio and New York.
