Washington Fashions
BY Wilma La Vile

Lace has been good all winter
for evening wear. In fact, it
has been excellent. Now, there
is a newcomer to the lace mode
that adds prestige and will, no
doubt, add popularity. This is
linen lace. It's worn for after
noon and evening at Southern
resorts and it's good here in
Washington for evening.
This new lace is particularly
interesting in it's texture, rather
coarse, but its patterns are dis
tinctive and the lace has
enough weight to hang grace
fully. We found a particularly
smart frock in one of the
Washington stores which we
have sketched for you today.
It's in eggshell, with bow and
girdle of deep jade velvet. The
bow at the waistline is held by
a rhinestone buckle. The tiny
sleeves make it appropriate for
afternoon and for informal eve
ming wear. The square neck
line is an attractive point and
the skirt achieves it's fullness by
circular cores.
Other laces that are i'm
portant in the mode right now
are filet, Alencon, and Chan
tilly, They are all used for
evening, though they may ap-
pear in the afternoon if they
are made informally enough.
Miss LaVille will gladly
answer any questions about this
frOck or about fashion if you
will call District $3.50, Exten-
sion 165, or write, sending q
self-addreSsed, stamped envelope.

Concert

Roxy and His Gang to Stage
Program for Benefit of
Memorial Chapel at Walter

Under the auspices of the ia
nous Gray Ladies of Walter
Reed Hospital, Roxy and His
Gang, with several Metropoli-
tan Opera stars as extra
added attractions, will give
two concerts at Constitution
Hall the afternoon and eve
ming of February 5. The pur-
pose is to swell the fund for
the Memorial Chapel being
built at the hospital.
For many months the Gray

this project. The cornerstone
was laid with due ceremony
and the beautiful little building
is nearing completion. But
more money is needed before
the finishing touches can be
applied-and here comes Roxy
to the rescue. The Roxy who
already has equipped the beds
at Walter Reed with radio and
contributed so much to Ease
the lot of the men who still
are paying for the war. Roxy
and His Gang are donating
their services and the proceeds
from the double program
should make assured the imme-
diate completion of the much
needed chapel.
Mrs. Reeve Lewis will be
chairman of the entertainment
for the Gray Ladies. At q
meeting held yesterday, when
preliminaries were discussed,
there were present among
many other Gray Ladies Mrs.

CLEAN D|STILLATES
FAVORED BY EXPERT
Those Without Sulphur Just as
Good as Kerosene for 1rac-
tors, A. c. Man Says

"A clean distillate with little Or no
sulfur is just as good a fuel as kero-
sene, providing the tractor engine
will handle it without knocking" says
H. F. McColly, agricultural engineer
of the North Dakota agricultural ex-
pertinent station. 1T It is dirty 1t
may gum up the needle valve with
tar and foul the combustion cham
Der. II the distillate contains much
sulfur trouble is bound to result"
Sulfur in the distillate Is injurious
to the motor because in the combus-
ton process some OF it is turned into
dilute sulfuric acid. This acid cor
rodes the highly polished iron and
steel parts and has been known to
ruin an engine in about 100 hours Of
running.
1.-THE trouble can be minimized If
not entirely avoided by the use OF the
ventilated crankcase. II the water
yapor is removed constantly from the
crankcase together with other fumes
of combustion, the oil win not be-
come contaminated, and the destruc-
tive acid does not gather in the
crankcase. Ordinary crankcase
breathers should not be confused with
ventilators. Usually ventilators have
some action forcing ventilation.
Another item is that of fabrication.
Fresh oil lubricating systems arr less
likely to become contaminated with
the acid, as tho used oil Is not re-
turned to the crhnkcase," states NC
Colly. /.
Successful tractor operation on dis
tillate requires that the engine be
thoroughly warmed up before using
this fuel as it is harder to vaporize
than gasoline and kerosene.

BINGHAM PROPOSAL
OF BOOSTED INCOME
TAXESIS CRITICIZED
Increased and Extended Tax
Suggested as Curb to Gov
eminent Extravagance

Washington, April 6.-P-Faction-
al leaders Of congress looked with
little favor Monday on the proposal
by Senator Bingham that income
taxes be increased and extended to
curb governmental extravaganza.
The Connecticut Republican no
sooner had made his statement ia
vortng q blanket increase in levies
and an extension to smaller incomes
that responsible members Of both the
senate and house objected.
Senator Watson Of Indiana-Re-
publican floor leader-said:
Il am opposed to any further tax
alton because I don't think 1t Is nee
essary under existing conditions"
Senator Norris, Nebraska, an indie
pendent Republican leader, asserted
while he would not object to an in
crease II the expected 100000, 900 def
cit materialized "the increase should be
applied in inheritance taxes and on
the higher brackets. or larger In
comes"
Senator Harris, Georgia, ranking
Democrat on the senate appropr1-
ations committee, said:
II am opposed to Senator Bing-
hams plan in toto.".
y Representative LaGuardia, New
York, q house Independent leader,
predicted there would be an increase,
but added:
There will be no lowering Of the
present tax exemption and that is
just as certain as day follows night.
The tax increases in the next con-
gress will be such that Senator Btng-
ham and his half dozen In the senate
surely will vote against"
Bingham's proposal was the first In
discussions Of the approaching $780,
O00, 900 deficit to suggest tax demands
be made on smaller incomes. Some
legislators have said they would ia
vor increasing the levies on bigger
incomes while leaders Of both parties
and in both houses have insisted
greater taxes will not be necessary.

Warns Party to Avoid Strad-

Adopt Definite Platform
SEEKS RECOMMENDATIONS

Washington, April 6.-{P-Another
suggestion that Democrats avoid
straddling and adopt q definite 1882
platform on controversial subjects
including prohibition-was before
that party Monday in q letter from
Chairman Raskob OF the national
committee.
He asked each national committee
man to make individual recommen-
dations for the 1882 platform and give
particular" attention to prohibition.
Once more he advanced his home
rule plan as what he believes to b q
solution of liquor questions. Then,
answering accusations that he was
attempting to dictate to the party, he
recalled the last Democratic conven-
ton charged the national committee
OF which he Is chairman with making
Recommendations Of policies or pro-
cedure for the consideration OF the
convention"
IT. was with this instruction In
mind, he said, that he called the re-
cent national committee meeting at
which he advanced the home rule
plan and other suggestions.
whether we like it or not" he
wrote, prohibition Is a critical ques-
ton In many Of our states"
The voters, he asserted, will sup
port the party whose policies and
conduct appeal to them as being SIN
cere, honest, courageous, best guar
anteeing the preservation OF our
democracy and promoting freedom
and happiness as against . life Of
tyranny and strife"
Asks Simple Platform
IF this line Of thought is sound,
the Democratic party can profit
therefrom through the adoption Of q
platform which will e~nunciate simply
and clearly, without equivocation and
in language q 1~4-year-old child can
understand. the principles 1t proposes
ond promises to enforce In the con-
duct of our government It Its can
didates are elected, Raskob added.
If the Democratic party Is inter-
ested only in winning n election, 1t
might be argued with q great deal OF
force that we should avoid or strad-
ole all controversial issues and resort
to every expediency to gain votes. Not
through courageous leadership on our
W part but through promoting dis
satisfaction with the Republican par
ty in every conceivable way"
The 4,O00-word letter also dealt
with Raskob's suggestions regarding
tariff, business, farm relief. unem-
ployment, the five-day week and
public utilities.
But he saw prohibition as the out
standing question on which the party
should come to "a common and defi-
mite understanding"
Admitting a difference between the
"dry attitude Of the party In the
south" and the liberal attitude Of the
Larty In the north" he said prohiba-
ton is, perhaps, q dangerous COM
plication."

How silly it must be for the DEM

call for retention of the 18th amend
