This is Swim.SuiC year.
Women buy bathing suits either
to swim in, or to lie on the
beach to sun. So there is as
little as possible to the bathing
suits. They are apt to buy pa
jamaS or Slacks and shirts for
summing and beach bathing, so
again, suits are mostly for swim
ming, and so are perfectly
simple. The days of elaborate
suits, just to be looked at, is
gone. All women with a figure
good cough, wear tight, close
knitted wool suits, and those
who think suits Of that sort
too extreme for them, wear a
wool jersey that is as simple
and snug as possible, but is a
little kinder in it's lines. Like
beach clothes, the designs are
severely and beautifully plain.
Stitches Count
The new thing about swim
suits this year is .the' diversity
and attractiveness of the
stitches used in knitting them.
Color, too, plays an important
part. Last year the majority
of women clung to the idea that
black or navy. was really the
smarteSt, but this yc.T those
conservatives will probably ap-
pear in white, orange, or scarlet.
The more vivid, the smarter,
and the suit will be in an un-
usual stitch. There are ribbed
effects, waffle stitches, and
other novelties, all close knitted,
firm and pliable. No need to
extol the virtues Of a knitted
wool suit, for we all know their
qualities of fitting, figure mould
ing and quick drying.
Streamline Models
"Streamline" is the name of
the bathing suit silhouette this
year, and you can see from the
illustrations how well it fits. All
the suits sketched, though quite
different, have the same long,
slender effect, and you can see
how little they will hamper you
in the water. One is Of wool
jersey, a type preferred by
many women, though most
young girls wear the knitted
suits. This suit is in white,
with banding in contrasting
color, red, blue, brown or green,
though of course it can be
bought in other colors and
combinations. The design is
quite attractive and it is be.

of the well known trade-marked

The idea of promising to

Your Health and Diet
By Logan Clendening, M. D.

A great deal can be done in
the way of treatment of
hyperidrosis of the feet. This
is worth emphasizing because
the victims often resign them
selves, thinking it is a natural
situation concerning which
nothing can be done.
The best remedy is one of
the simplest and most neg
lected-water. The water should
be cold-never hot, and the
feet should be bathed and
washed in cold water-not
soaked-at least twice a day.
After that they should be
swabbed with an astringent To-
ton such as 3 per cent salicylic
acid in menthyl alcohol.
And, finally. both when walk
ing around with shoes and
stockings on and when resting
or in bed, the feet should be

powder. One such powder is as
follows: Salicylic acid, 3 parts;
starch flour, 10 parts; talcum,
81 parts; mix we'll. Another
is tannoform, 4 parts; boracic
acid, 4 parts; talcum, parts;
mix we'll.
The modern habit with
women of going without stock
ings in the summer is calcu-
lated to prevent much foot
trouble of this sort, because a
great deal of it depended upon
improper ventilation. The suf-
fering male is not allowed yet
by custom to indulge in this
form of relief.
For more serious cases, it
would be we'll to consult a
podiatrist. The practice of

ner with a demand bid of 3.
Clubs. OF course A had to re.

ing to discover the distribution
of his partners cards, B again
forced, by bidding 5-Spades,
fearing that "a bid of only a.
Spades would be permitted to
lapse. A raised to 6-SpadeS.
Upon that encouragement, B
chanced a venturesome bid Of
diamonds. AS may be seen
either seven spades or seven
diamonds can be made, wholly
because the K of spades is
favorably located. A did not
fancy playing a grand slam
at diamonds, when he held only
four trumps. Thinking that
possibly BIS spades might be
longer than AS diamonds, A
shifted into 7-Spades.
It made no difference what
opening lead 2 made, although
that player was not aware OF
the fact. Hearts was the only
suit that had not been bid, but
z diSliked leading from his
minor tenace. Diamonds had
been strongly bid by both mem
bers of the declaring side; un-
less Y could trump lead of
diamonds that suit did not
seem a good one to open. Clubs
could not be led up to the bid
der of the suit. The ordinary
rules was as follows: When
two different suits have been
bid by opponents, and the final
declaration is in a third suit,
ordinarily the best opening lead
is a trump, to cut down cross
ruffs." In this special instance
B had assisted diamonds strong
ly, and then A had shifted his
partner back to BIS secondary
bid, which made it seem as
though a trump lead could do
no good. z finally led his j

lead, but one prompted by AS

that such a lead might win
the one trick required to pre-
vent a grand slam from being
made.
OF course, the declarer played
dummy'S Ace Of Hearts, and he
discarded his own lowest dia-
mond to avoid guessing whether
or not the latter suit would
break for him in play.
Lacking the Ten of Trumps,
it was useless to lead dummy's

we're taken. Dummy ruffed the

NOCALES DARK
IN TAX FIGHT.

NOGALES, Ariz., Nov. 23.-U.P}
Another night of darkness along
city streets was in prospect today
as municipal officials and a pub
lie utility persisted in contrasting
attitudes toward a tax on the COM
pany's gas mains.
The Public Utilities Consolidated
corporation shut off the current to
municipal projects last night after
the city had insisted it would at
tempt TO assess gas main taxes.
Members of the American Legion
patrolled the unlighted streets to
prevent banditry and other law
lessness, feared from the blanket
of darkness.
Action Of the utility was not en-
tirely unexpected as Moses Droch-
man, manager of the company, had
warned city officials it would eX-
tend no credit if they persisted in
their demands. The city had paid
its October electric bill but had de-
Quoted the amount of taxes the
company had refused to pay.
The dispute had been brewing
for two years and a court action
is pending on the city's demand for
rate reduction.

BAD EGGSFOR
SCREEN STARS

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. %. U.P)-
The resplendent finery of many
finn notables was spoiled-almost
last night by an incipient hun
ger" demonstration staged in front
of a theatre presenting the pre-
miere of a new Eddie Canton pic
ture.
A number of stars and other
film notables had filed into the
theatre and others were arriving
in sleek limousines when the foyer
of the theatre became the target
for a light barrage of rotten eggs.
Silk hats ducked to cover along
with the more humble chapeaux
of newspaper photographers. No
one was struck although a num-
Der of celebrities narrowly escaped
by their alacrity in quitting a
radio microphone in front of the
theatre.
Whether the eggs were tossed
from some members of the crowd
in front of the showhouse or from
some passing automobile could not
be learned. Police blamed the
brief disturbance upon hungry"
protestants, who requisitioned
their ammunition from soup
kitchen several blocks away.

HITLER STILL
SEEKING WAY
Nazi Leader Trying To Find
Means For Taking Over Ger
man Government.
BY ERIC KEYSER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Nov. 23.-Adolph Hitler
and his Fascist leaders renewed
their efforts today to find way
of taking over the government and
ruling without a parliamentary
majority.
Hitler's latest answer to Presi-
dent Paul Won Hindenburg was de-
livered at the presidents office at
6 p. m. Its contents were not i'm
mediately disclosed
Reports abroad that the answer
had been delivered apparently arose
from the fact that a messenger was
sent to the presidential palace with
it but Hitler, suddenly decided to
change it, sent second messenger
who breathlessly overlook the first
halfway to the palace and recalled
him.
Hitler and his advisers were
closeted at their hotel all day
seeking to frame letter which
would leave the doors open to fur
ther negotiation.
Hitler told the president two
days ago he could not obtain q
parliamentary majority, and asked
instead that he be allowed to rule
under a semi-dictatorship similar
to the Won Papen regime. The
president refused.
The latest answer, it was re.
ported, would not explicitly re-
nollnce Hitler'S claim to the chan
cellorship but would hint at his
readiness to agree to a Hitleritt
representative in a prospective
presidential" cabinet to rule under
Won EIindenburg's dictation. II
true, it means Hitler has adopted
entirely new tactics and would con-
sent to his party's sharing in a
government which he did not con-
troll.

STATE FUNDS
CAUSING ROW

SACRAMENTO Cal, Nov. 49, -
UPE-State officials who received
a demand from ROLAND A. Vande-
grift, director of finance, to turn
over money collected from volun-
tary pay contributions on the part
of state employees, today took steps
to determine the legality of such a
move.
Vandegrift's letters we're sent to
Frank G. Jordan, secretary of state
Friend w. Richardson, building and
loan commissioner; Mark H. Gates,
secretary of the state harbor COM
mission; Irene E. Cook, state board
of equalization; Harold Best, vet
erans' welfare board, and Dan H.

ces.
The finance director pointed out
that these disbursing agents had
no right to hold up the money con-
tributed by employees. Most of
them declared they would ask the
attorney general for an opinion
before parting with the money,
which is being held in various Spe-
cial funds.
Last week the state crime COM
mission found an ancient law to
the effect that anyone failing to
follow directions of the department
of finance in keeping accounts
could be fined from $100 to $1,000
and sent to Jail for a minimum of

No CLUES IN
FILIPINO HUNT
Suspect Arrested At Indio For
Calipatria Staying Is Released
From Custody.

One of the most intensive man
hunts ever known to Imperial
county entered upon its fifth af-
ternoon today, finding practically
the entire sheriff's force, immigra-
ton officers, customs officers,
state highway patrolmen and other
peace officers seeking three Fill
pinos wanted for the murder of
one Hindu and the robbery of an
other northeast of Calipatria last
Saturday.
While Sheriff George L. Camp
bell and his staff were searching
every part of Imperial Valley, Off
GERS at Redlands and even farther
north, at Yuma, Blythe, Mexicali
and Boulder Park were continuing
the search which so far has ended
only in blind alleys.
One Filipino, taken from a west
bound, freight at Indio Monday
night, was released yesterday when
it was established positively that
he had no connection with Pro-
dencio Rondaris, Patalion Rengor
and Gabino Manzino, the three
hunted men.
Three other men, thought to be
Filipinos, ran from officers and
escaped into an alfalfa field at
Indio earlier Monday night. The
theory is that these three are the
F'llipinos wanted for the murder of
Bran Singh and the robbery OF
Sham Singh on returning from an
ill-fated journey to the bank at
Calipatria to draw a $444 payroll
for a Filipino gang picking peas
on a ranch in that section.
The first report to reach Ell
Centre was that one Filipino was
captured and two others escaped,
but investigation by Tom Sharp,
district attorneys investigator, dis
proved this.
On the chance that the fugitives
may have returned from the desert
to the cultivated section of the
county, sheriff's deputies have
searched Filipino camps and made
every other effort to apprehend the
trio.
Every group of Filipinos leaving
Imperial county, by no matter
what means, has been closely
scrutinized for the past four days.
Unless the hunted men made their
escape on foot and by means of
side roads, they are thought to be
in this county still.
