THIS TOWN HAD TOO MUCH MONEY
 FOR JOBLESS
It Got $lO,0OO From Can-
 ada to Spend, But Could Get Rid of Only $6,O0O

Dundas, Ont, April 27-(UP)- Pity the town of Dundas. It has too much money.
 The dominion government last week sent the town $10,000 to be spent for unemployment relief. It took town officials several days to think up ways of spending $6.000. The other $4.000 was real prob- lem. The town council met in emergency session last night. The members gloomily discussed the surplus. Then one councilman had an idea.
 ''Ws can pave the streets. he said.
 Fine" agreed the other mem. bers.

tractive pajama outfit illustrated to

kind cotton print-saffron and green
on white background. Even little
daughter is letting her hair grow these
days with the result that hair ribbons
have come back. The latest is to
match the hair ribbon with a linen
collar and cuff set unless the set Is
white, in which case the hair ribbon
matches its trim. These collar-and-cuff
sets are so easy to make there is no
reason why every little lady should
not have several of them. The one
shown in the picture on the dainty
baby blue linen, of Puritan cut with
slashes, the slashes interworked with
fagoting done with trim stitch thread
in contrasting color. The fagoting also
unites bias trim bordering to the
collar and cuff edges. The bias trim
can be bought folded under and ready
to apply, which is time-saver and
nerve-saver when 1t comes to cutting
narrow strips on a true bias-and
think of the endless folding!
Thin sheer woolens made up In two
colors such as brown crepe with a
rose-colored yoke. belt and other de-
tails are features in the realm of ju-
venile modes.
The fair for corduroy which is In
sistent in the adult world is also re-
Elected among children's fashions. A
type of school suit which is ideal for
midseason has shapely skirt formed
of many cores. The jacket is collar
less, is hiplength and is belted. For
the hitler tots the bolero is favored
in that 1t can be taken OFF and put on
so easily.
There is a tendency in designing
party frocks for the very young to In
troduce long-skirted effects with quaint
high waists and sashes. A yellow
Powered white organdie, for instance,
has floor length full skirt. The high
waist is defined with wide sash of
yellow taffeta.
Handsome and as practical as 1t Is
good looking is white washable satin
for the making of dressy frocks and
blouses for little folks, for anyone who
has had the experience of washing
satin of this description knows how
perfectly 1t may be tubbed.

a ND now the spring sewing cam
paign begins. AS rule, it's "chil-
dren first" when mothers begin to sew.
What with the little folks needs tax
ing precedence, it's time to look about
for timely suggestions on the subject.
AS little daughter emerges from the
tiny tot age, she wants her outfits
fashioned more on the lines of the
clothes mother or big sister wears.
Wherefore, it appeals to her greatly
to have a jacket suit somewhat after
the styling of that of her elders. The
skirt and jacket two-piece worn with
dainty washable blouses has also the
virtue of being eminently practical for
the little girl who goes to school. U.s.
ually the tiny skirt is pleated like the
one worn by the sprightly little lady
posing to the right in the picture.
There are many pretty checked ma
terials which will make up successful
iy after this fashion. A rayon and
wool weave is suggested, for mixtures
Of this sort launder perfectly. the pres
ence of the rayon keeping the wool
from shrinking. 1t also adds pretty
luster. The jacket may be fashioned
along simplest lines as the picture por-
trays. AS to the blouse, or perhaps
it should be spoken of in the plural,
for that is the beauty of a jacket suit
1t admits of many change when 1t
comes to the blouse-it should show
clever little trimming features. There
Is new trim stitch decoration which
is very effective and easily done. The
work is entirely done by sewing ma
chine. All that is needed for this is
trim stitch thread in both needle
and bobbin, the needle being of the
coarsest, and the guage set to nine or
ten stitches to the inch. Worked in
bright colors the effect is that of EN-.
broidery. The blouse which completes
the jacket suit pictured, is of cross
bar lawn, all edges bound with bias
trim.
The beauty of bias trim is that It
can be bought ready to use, thus

NEW MODELS GIVE
VERNE TO SATIN

Take length of black satin, add
to it a dash of white satin, and you
have most wearable frock. Early in
the season there was quite lot of
satin shown, but 1t hasn't been worn
so much through the winter.
But for early spring it would not be
surprising to see several models of
black satin with white satin touches
making grand success. Such a black
satin frock, cut on suit lines. is vastly
becoming and is luxurious without be-
ing too lavish.
Always an effort should be made TO
see that there is dash and d CAV air
to the black satin frock; otherwise IT
has tendency to look heavy and set,
which means. of course, that 1t looks
old and is inclined to make the wearer
look rather too matronly, something
that even the matron of long standing
usually wants to avoid.

Republican Presidential nomination If
the opponents Of Mr.. Hoover could

to such speculation in just such a

Debate of the measure in the SEN
ate was chiefly over proposed amend
ments, many Of which were offered
and few were chosen. The most i'm
portant amendment adopted was pro-
posed by Senator Ellison D. Smith Of
South Carolina. It added new sec
ton to the bill authorizing an appro-
priation of S5O,OOO,OOO for use by the
secretary of agriculture to extend
loans to small farmers. 1t stipulated
further that the S45,000,000 now re-
naming in the drought relief fund
should be applied to such loans.
During the discussion there were
frequent and fierce attacks on the
banking interests. especially those Of

being accused of questionable meth
DDS and ethics in the flotation Of for
