Aroused Public Opinion
Can Lower Taxes, Says
Pennsylvania.

Declaring that reduction in govern
mental expenditures can be only
brought about by an aroused public
opinion" the Pennsylvania Railroad. on
its next pay day will give with each
check the suggestion that employees in
terest themselves actively in the ex-
penditures of their local governments.
The suggestion reads:
1T will be to your benefit to interest,"
yourself in the eXc c0ditures OF your
local government. Taxes have become
a heavy burden ON the ownership OF
property. If you rent house you pay
portion of the owners taxes. the same
as you would if you owned a home.
The Federal, State and local taxes now
are Is per cent of the national income.
Some of the expenses of the Govern
ment are produced by extragavance and
some by the demands of the people or
organized portions of them for special
services They have grown to SUCH an
extent that all Governments are ex-
pending money for purposes which you,
as an individual taxpayer, would not in
cur if you had to pay them directly
from your own pocket. Reduction IN
governmental expenditures can only be
brought about by an aroused public
opinion. Interest yourself In these mat
tiers for your own benefit and the ben
eft of the public generally. The Penn
sylvania Railroad is one OF the largest
taxpayers of the country. Last year,
according to the annual report, 1t paid
nearly $33,000,000 in taxes"

DIAMOND CLIPS WIN
LONDON POPULARITY
Fashionable Women All Wearing
Them on Hats, at Neck
and on Handbags.

LONDON, IN. A. N. Al. - Hostess
gowns" in rich materials dyed to match
the color of the room are among the
latest dress novelties.
One shown recently was in dull silver
cloth printed with design of green to
harmonic with the green walls Of the
salon, and there are many other va
rieties which blend attractively with
modern schemes of decoration.
Though we have not yet decided
whether waists are to be high or low
or our skirts long or short. one thing is
certain among those who are rich
enough. They must possess a set OF
diamond clips. This usually consists of
one large one, two smaller and two very
small, and are clipped on hats to give
the effect of a miniature tiara, or on
frocks to outline the curve OF a neck
line, where they have the appearance
Of a long, flexible brooch. Sometimes
they are worn separately; the large one
on the hat, the two smaller ones at
the neck and the two tiny ones as a
clasp on a fat handbag.
Umbrellas may be stumpy, slim or,
preferably, Tom Thumb" One OF the
latest mounts for handles consists of a
synthetic glass shade through which
can be seen a posy of artificial flowers
in white or colors. This has a charm
ingly Victorian effect and promises to
be popular

CONSUMER BUYING
NEEDS STRESSED
American Federation 0
Labor Holds Confidence
Is Spreading.

Confidence is spreading the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor said today in
its survey of business, but we cannot
expect convalescence to develop into
cure until consumer buying picks up"
The chief obstacle to recovery in
consumer buying is workers income loss,
Labor warned, adding that increasing
wage cuts have recently Speeded the
decline in workers income.
In the first half of 1882, in manu-
featuring industries" Labor said, wage
reduction averaged 81 per 100 firms
This is serious consequence to the
Nations future economic life, for it
means lowering of standards which
will take years to recover
Buying Reduced.
Consumer buying has been reduced
by income losses, both from wage cuts
and unemployment: both have a par
t1cularly Gripping effect on buying be-
cause the fear of income loss makes
workers hoard every cent they have.
During the II months when wage
cuts were more severe consumer buy
ing fell more than twice as much as
in the previous 20 months"
The survey presented the following
table compiled from figures reported
to the Labor Department by the num-
Der of firms reporting wage cuts in
1931-32:
1881. 1882.
1873 First quarter. ............. 2.308
698 Second quarter. ........... 1889
8l1 Third quarter. ............
1,349 Fourth quarter. .........
Our object from now on should be
to raise wages, not reduce them" Labor
continued.
Urges Higher Wages.
Even now at the bottom of depreS-
sion many companies could increase the
wages paid to workers In the last
eight months 100 companies have paid
extra dividends. If company can in
crease dividends it is in position to
increase the income of its wage-earnerS
Some companies are already restoring
wage cuts made last year or before"
Commenting on the Governments re-
construction policy, the survey said the
by forcing credit into the market and
raising prices.
This amounts to the same thing as
Cheapening the value of money and
raising the value of goods and securi-
hindrance, it will start buying because
people will naturally invest where value
is rising; that is. they will buy goods
and stop boarding money.
Demand for goods will start industry
moving But demand cannot be kept 10
artificially. Permanent business growth
depends on increased buying power at
home and growing markets abroad

DUCHESS OF YORK PICKS
COLOR SCHEME FOR HOME.

LONDON (N.AN.A.).-The Duke
and Duchess of York and their two
daughters are still in Scotland. Dur
ing their absence their home in Picca-
dilly has been given over entirely to
the workmen. From motives Of econ
omy the duchess has decided not to
have any inside painting or redecora-
ton done this year, but outside the
house all the paint work, back and
front, is being renewed and the stone
work washed.
The duchess has chosen q shade OF
plain, deep cream for the outside of
her London home, combined with a
glossy black for the doors and ratings.
Additional coats of varnish are being
given to the front door at the duchess
special request, for she knows how
quickly London fogs and rain dim the
first gloss of new paint. Shiny black
ratings, strengthened by a new stone
curb, have been put around the gar
den where Princess Elizabeth and
Princess Margaret spend so much Of
their time during Spring and Summer.
The Duchess of York loves dainty
china and, like Queen Mary, takes
great pride in stocking and supervising
her china cupboards. The present
popularity of delicately tinted china
decorated with flower designs largely
is due to her influence.

 one girl stepped out from the group and began to sing. The swaying, bobbing chorus formed a picturesque background.
 
 From a nearby table two women hastily gathered their wraps about them and arose to go. Their escorts followed with ill-coneealed chagrin.
 Ladies shocked?" asked Steve.
 Gentlemen not behaving well, " Lottie conceded demureiy.
 The song came to an end. Singer and chorus girls scampered from the room to don feathered finery for the Rascal" number. The lights fiickered, faded, rose again in colors and swirled over the room, casting shadows over those who remained in their seats.
 "You and Lottie dance," Mona suggested, turning toward Steve But the young man did not answer He was looking past Lottie. a well coming grin lighting his browr face. Steve rose and Mona saw g suavely dressed young man with neat blond hair and brown eyes approaching their table.

The really modern bathroom has become, without doubt, one of the most beautiful rooms in the home, not only fulfilling it's requirements as a place devoted to cleanliness. but making use of the most up-to- date fixtures and meeting the dec- oratiye scheme of the home per- fectly. It makes use of a profus- ion of the latest and most beauti- full materials that have been de- veioped by American chemists.
 The above picture of a model bathroom, designed by George Sa- kier and shown at the recent ex- hibition of National Master Plum bers in New York, we'll illustrates the beautiful deficiencies of such g room. It is carried out in three pleasingly contrasting colors. The washable walls are in yellow, the shower curtain in ultramarine

 Do tell me about this pasteuriz- HE process, SdIu odliy, duTOlCly changing the subject. "It reminds me of dairy"
 1t is like dairy, because the ingredients of many of the face creams are pasteurized just as scientifically as milk is pasteurized and for the same reason to guard against the possibility of any impurity. Indeed, fresh, rich milk is one of the chief ingredi- ents in these creams, because milk has been recognized for centuries by the most beautiful women of all lands and all ages as one of the most beneficial agents of skin beauty. There is the story told about Nero's wife that while Rome was burning and Nero was fid- ding, she was hastily bathing her face with the milk lotion with which she insured her beauty! Those ancient beauties certainly knew the value of milk. both inside and out.

 Do you mind if I stay while ?" | she asked quietly. Just for Q dance or.two? Then I'll go home"
 Glad to have you" Steve as- sured her. '1'm expecting friend any minute now. Well be a four some"
 "A friend." Lottie exclaimed. You wouldn't fool me, would you? Then I'll stay! I didn't work to- day." Lottie went on. T mean not at the shop. I modeled/ at the Fashion Show. 'Pilgrim'S Perfect Blond' Yes, really. Last year l was Pilgrims Dashing Brunei in little number from Patou and Chanel. Oh, well, I aim to please" Where did you meet your friend MT Parker?" Mona asked. The new escort was hitherto unknown. Mona had neither seen nor heard of him before.
 "At the Fashion Show. Lottie told them. "He was holding a dog for his mother. I had met him once before, so of course I had to promise him a dinner date"
 Mo-a and Steve exchanged glances. That meant that Lottie had actually been absent from Pilgrim's s during Steve's call and therefore knew nothing of the transaction. Apparently Lottie had not recog- nized the gown. In this, however, Mona was wrong. Lottie had recog- nized it, but loyalty to her friend | made her conceal the fact.
 Another dance began. Its sinuous melody wound about the smoke l blue, perfumed room intriguingly. i Lottie raised her elbows shoulder l high, her fingers pointed inward, wriggling in time with the music. She rolled her eyes toward Steve without any particular meaning be- hind their frolicsome gaze. She hummed and swayed, singing be- heath her breath so that the words were barely audible. There was a challenging twinkle in Lottie's eye.
 'Why don't you two dancer" Mona was about to suggest since Steve was failing completely to take his cue. At that moment Lot tie began to improvise more dar- ingly. Lottie was clever at such tricks but Mona was annoyed.
 The amateur entertainer was, however. drowned out abruptly by sudden change in the music. The lights dimmed and remained lower. Suddenly they turned dazzling blue. The master of ceremonies, professionally alert and eager, sprang to the center of the floor.
 Then into the cleared space the chorus came dancing. Girls, beau tifully formed. fragilely costumed, their exquisite skins gleaming. Bodies swayed and dainty feet

PARIS STYLISTS GUARD SECRET
 PLANS WELL
BY MARY KNIGHT

United Press Stan Corfesp0ndent)
 Paris - GU. R.) - Despite the fact that every year, twice a year, all the fashion heralders here pit their wits against the creators of haute couture to contrive new ways of getting an eye to the keyhole of the inner shrines of creation, and an ear to the ground for new style rumblings, and by tricky conyer- sation, get them to divulge secret or two unwittingly -, the seasons chef dsoeuvres are zealously guard ed until the zero hour.
 At best, a fashion cannot re- main exclusive longer than a cou- pie q, hours, for in that length of time it's color, fabric, line, trim- ming, cost and every detail of it's composition has been cabled around the world and telephotos are fol- lowing fast on the echoes of the far flung words.
 Real Hints
 Prognostications, guesses and real hints about the next seasons feminine apparel float around for weeks.
 Like the signs you see ip shops: ''The management is not respon- sible for the loss of articles left in this store. ..." no fashion writer aged in the wood of ex- perience, will ever predict in fiat statements what the smart wo- man will, or will not wear, that season. She relays the rumors as they trickle out of the establish ment and take no blame if some, or all, of them are inaccurate
 Rare Burgundy
 At least five of the biggest style creators here have decided upon shades of golden wine and rare Burgundy. Even Q few shades of Pernod and the amber tints of Johnny Walker and White Label have come alive in the newest fabrics from the looms of Rodier and Binnchini. Shades of red, ranging from the very deepest and succulent Burgundy to cherry seem to be the foremost in importance. There are lots of deep reds and vio- iet-redB rather than the brighter tones of the more flaming youth

 "We never do the things that we should, suppose. Hal will be here after a while. He'll be sur- prised, at all of this. I'm glad you are all here. Glad I'm tired of fim!' "
 Sue gazed at the flushed face, the excited eyes, with sudden wis., dom. It was the contrast of her own hidden-away existence with that of Grace and herself that had suddenly impressed Sally, she knew. Somehow, the role Sally had been playing was cheap when con- fronted with other roles in the same drama. And true to naturel she wanted to slip out of the un- happiness and find something more to her liking. And yet the snow and the cabin and the situation were. making her sentimental. too, Sue knew.
 Sue was saved the need of an- swering. The knocker on the cabin, door was being pushed up and down. She hurried to answer it, leaving Sally to follow more slow ly.

 She hoped Sally wouldn't press the case any more. She didn't want the police to know. And yet, maybe if they did, it would frighten away the men who were trying such spiteful revenge. But she was afraid that 1t would make them more determined.
