The right-minded American reSents the
hint of charity, and that is what dole IS III
its last analysis. Every vigorous American
wants the privilege of working to support
his family and himself 1t is the high priv
ilege of our statesmen and economic leaders
to evolve some plan whereby the man who
wants to work may at all times find employ
ment. Much thought is being given to that
problem right now. Some are proposing
unemployment insurance, whereby the
worker will be insured against voorhees,
days. 1t has been suggested that the gov
eminent and industry unite in some form
of insurance that will take care of man
when he is out of employmet. That is wise
plan If the worker is made party to it and
If through the years Of his employment a
very small part of his earnings is taken to
help build up this insurance fund BY that
plan, industry, the worker and the govern
ment would unite in insuring the worker
against loss of employment. To us it seems
that some such plan has much to commend
it. It does not hold out to the mass of the
people the facilitating thought that When
they get out of work benificcnt govern
ment is going to hand them free living on
a silver platter, but it gives the great mass
OF the people part IN helping to provide
safety for themselves if they do lose en-
plovment in times such as the present. I'm
der such plan the worker does not become
an object OF charity but by his own industry
and worth he has helped to provide for his
future

In our concern that all shall have full
justice III our social organization, we ought
not to let the softness Of our heart impair
the soundness of our judgment. It must be
remembered that humanity is far from per
feet; 1t must be remembered that some will
always be improvident no matter how pros
porous the times. Some will always be ia
want whenever the pinch Of adversely
comes and as rule they are the ones who
are the most insistent that aid
be extended to them. One only has TO
have little experience in the administer
ing OF charity work to learn that this is pro-
foundly true. Within the past year 4
woman appeared before the relief organiza-
ton III Libby and wanted clothing for her
family. The wanted clothing was shown
her but she was told that some of it would
require sewing and mending, She replied
that she didn't want it if it had to be
mended. 1t dole were given to that
woman and such as she as an established
policy, it would be only short time until
they would be demanding it as their right.
1t Is not uncommon for county officials to
receive letters from those receiving county
aid demanding that certain things be done
for them.
Western news and the Libby times. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1920-1933, 1931-10-08

We recite these instances simply to
substantlate our contention that humanity
is far from perfect and that this problem of
taking care of the needy is indeed a per-
picking one. The two instances cited above
are OF the more sordid kind There are
great numbers Of people in need who are
wonderfully thankful for every kindness ex-
tended to them and who are more than will
ing to do all they can to help One may rest
assured that such people do not want dole.
They want a chance to work and that
chance they should have.
There is no more fitting closing for
this editorial than to quote from the letter
we received from the government relief or
ganization In writing to this newspaper,
the writer said:
Il think there is very keen realiza-
ton that while provision must be made in
terms of relief, every attempt should be
made to create employment to the equiva-
lent of such relief rather than to extend re-
lief as pure charity. 1t is certainly encour-
aging to see the marvellous response from
each community in handling it's own affairs
and am satisfied the matter will be well
handled and with minimum of distress. :.

Gardening
Gadgets That
Save Labor

There used to be a time
when gardening tools came
in a set of three rake, shovel
and hoe. But now, one
longer breaks ones back at
the dictates of horticultural
whims. A most tantalizing
variety of garden tools and
gadgets for every stage of
gardening is probably the
cause for the ever increasing
species known as "the

A set of five tools with
18-inch handles, strong but
light, are the basic tools.
They are hoe, fork, rake,
spade and weed puller. Then
there the combination

Miniature golf can now be
played indoors as well as out

and hazards, sand pits and
water traps which is built on

tricky, too, and takes skill

LAMP BASES

Metal and crockery bases
are ideal for lamps for the
sun-porch and verandah.
These usually have parch-
ment or parchmentized
shades. For the bedroom a
daintier base is used; either
of Dresden or French porce-
lain with which pleated silk
shades are used.
Cluster lights are the new
est note in metal table lamps.
Three-candle lamps in Eng
lish bronze finish are very
popular as are the same de-

lamps are suitable for the
living room in which GeOr-
gian furniture is used.

The Bathroom
Invites Gay Color
Schemes

OCAlC1uCS
Bathrooms no longer suf-
fer in that glaring plain
white that used to be so
stylish and so ucinteresting.
AS in everything else, color
here has come into its own.
Not only for the walls, the
woodwork and floors-but
for the fixtures themselves,
color has become distinctly
fashion-right. There was a
time when the colored rub
berized shower sheet was a
luxury. Now it is absolutely
a social obligation. What
with this room. which used
to be one of the "unmen-
tionables," becoming style
conscious, anything's likely
to happen. A clear case Of
spring fever.
And why not? After all,
what s smarter than a spring
costume which is we'll
matched? The bathroom is
certainly now in the "style
conscious" class. Her (or
should we say "his'') bath
mat and curtains match her
shower sheets and blend too
with all her other "doo-
dabs" like soap. soap dishes
and drinking cups.
And now she's gone and
done something else. She's
added wallpaper to her list
of crimes. But we must ad-
NIT it s charming. She's got
ten around the practical
point by having two coats
of waterproof varnish put
on which makes it impervi-
Gus to steam and water and
quite as practical as bath

just because her floor
isn't tiled, doesn't seem to
make her feel the least bit
bad, as she's gone out and
gotten the gayest linoleum
she could find.
The towels in her linen
closet would make her
grandmother blush for they
are blue to match the rest of
her costume. One of her
friends has a yellow costume
and bought yellow towels.
The towels are soft and
fluffy with bath mats to
match. And her queer
shaped bottles and boxes for
powder are so lovely that
they look like real objets

Whether your tastes run
to blue or to yellow, to law
ender or to rose, the bath
room is one spot, these days,
where you may give full
vent to your color cravings.

cinating new textures, color
and designs. No wonder so
many houses are given a
new lease on life through
their gay new curtains, slip
covers, new cushions and
bedspreads.
The changing of fabrics
marks the metamorphosis of
the house from winter to
summer and brings a new
crisp freshness to replace
the faded WORKOUT feeling
of winter. Very often with
a smart new covering a
piece of furniture gains a
note of smartness it never
even had in its "palmiest
days"
The wide range which one
has in choosing new fabrics
this year is due to the enter
prise of textile mills and
fabric importers who are
constantly evolving new de-
signs, color combinations
and weaves. Old stuffs long
passed into oblivion are
carefully re-copied.
Gay cottons for slip-covers
and summer draperies are
more beautiful and individ-
ual than ever before. These
range from the tiny French
provincial flower designs or
early colonial type to the
dashing effects of extreme
modernism, the large pat
terms so effective with
wicker furniture on the sun
porch.
Buy Dependability
Discriminating and thrifty
housewives have learned that
it is often worth while to
pay a little more per yard
for these materials and re-
ceive much more additional
value in individuality of de-
sign, permanence of colors
and general wearing quail
tiles. For the slip-cover
must be tailor made, smart
and perfect fitting, and
since money must be ex-
pended on it's making, it is
a good investment to buy a
dependable quality Of mate
rial.
Linen, with its dust-shed-
ding surface, holds a front
place for slip covers and
summer draperies. There
are the roller-printed linens
of beautiful design and tex
ture which are much cheaper
than the hand-blocked linens
and every bit as effective.
One new linen which is mod
erately priced has adapted
it's design from an old Span
ish tapestry.
In linen one looks for rich
colors, not too bright in
tone, and for good texture
and weight. And often this
season, patterned linen is ef-
fectively combined with a
contrasting plain color.
An interesting series of
linens adopts its themes
from the romantic traditions
of our grandmothers. One
of these shows scenes from
Uncle Toms Cabin and an
other an episode from the
melodrama, After Dark. "
Moby Dick is also immor-
talized on linen, and still
more recent is the picturiza-
ton of "The Covered
Wagon Linens are par
ticularly good for boys
rooms, game rooms, guest
room or the sun porch.
Cotton Very Popular
Chintzes and cottons, too,
are very gay. On Amer

Early English
Oak

Early English is becoming
increasingly popular, espe-
cially in dining room furni-
ture. Jacobean and Tudor
styles are being adapted for
the modern home. A few
pieces of these styles find
their way into the living
room or library.

RayOn Fabrics
of New Weaves
and COlOrs
For Curtains

In this new weave the
original high luster of rayon
has been dulled to a silky
richness so that It is difficult
to distinguish this material
from a lovely, soft, finely
ribbed silk.
Fabrics of synthetic yarn
of the rayon type achieve
their greatest triumph In
sheer gauzes that are used as
, glass curtains. The taffetas
and moires of these yarn fab
RIGS are becoming more and
more silk like and one may
have a rajah weave of silk
and synthetic fiber which
surpasses the pure silk fabric
in fastness Of dyes and mod
erateness of price. A very
good type of glass curtain
material is mohair mist and
sheds dust. This material
comes in several weights and
weaves and is more durable
than the average gauze.
Tapestry weaves are now
so beautifully done by ma
chine that re upholstering
ones furniture need no
longer be an exorbitant ex-
pense. Some interesting de-
signs are the "Bayberry"
tapestry, also copies of
famous tapestry patterns
such as "Holy Grail, " "The
Three Fates" and others.
Window Fabrics
Never before has there
been such a variety of win
dow fabrics as is now avail
able for summer. The range
in color and pattern is very
wide.
Those that are crisp are
tarlatans and organdies.
Other interesting materials
are cheerful chintzes, lovely
hand blocked linens and
voiles. New materials to be
seen for summer curtains,
however, are waterproof
rayons and celarese fabrics
that are impervious to sum-
mer showers. Airplane cloth
can be rubberized or not, ac-
cording to individual tastes.
The list seems endless. We
have unbleached muslin,
cheesecloth, homespun, per-
matex and fabrikoid, both
patterned and plain; bril-
liant cloth felt, monk s cloth,
Osnaburg cloth, cotton crepe,
oilcloth, Argentine cloth
even turkish toweling and
ordinary gunny sacking.
1t is almost too bewilder-
ing to know what to use, and
a few suggestions might be
of help. For the Louis XVI
room figured roller shades of
sunproof rayon could be used
and edged with a contrasting
fabrikoid. The draperies
could be of a solid color
fabrikoid; this could prob
ably match the edging of the
shade.
For the Early American or
French Provincial Bedroom
a drapery of white rubber
lied airplane cloth with fig
ures would be smart. One
interesting f a brio shows
American wild flowers with
their Latin names printed
boldly in black like old bo-
tanical prints. Plated oil
cloth or fabrikoid with white
cords drawn through top
and bottom makes a perky
finish for the top of this
drapery. Glass curtains need
not be used with this.
For the Victorian Dining
Room draperies of washable
and waterproof permatex
would be attractive. These
are arranged in precise folds
that fall to the floor. For
the boys room modern hand
blocked turkish towellng fits
in beautifully.
These are just. a few uses
to which these materials
could be put and the variety
