RENTS ON AIR !

For the third time-over the
radio-Senator Arthur Capper
(RO, Kansas, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, last
night warned Washington land
lords and real estate agents here
that rentals in the Capital are
too high "and they must come
down."
Meanwhile, with favorable
action forecast, Senator Capper
has put in a Senate resolution
authorizing the District Com
mittee, or a subcommittee, to
conduct a midsummer investiga-
ton of the rental situation here.
Senator Capper told his radio
listeners last night that he was
practically certain his resolution
would get Senate approval before
Congress quits. He said further:

in Washington are too high.
They must come down. This is

going to approve that resOlu-
ton. Our Committee should
have the authority and the
funds to conduct this summer
a searching inquiry into the
rent situation here.

let this vital matter rest until
Congress meets again in De-
cember. A special Subc0mmit-
tee. clothed with all authority,
will be at work through this
summer and it will be assisted

meantime, great deal de-
pends upon the attitude of the
landlords of Washington. If
they voluntarily meet the pub
lie demand for lowered rents
our investigating task will be
lightened. But rents in this
city must come down, one way

Active sports skirts should
be an inch shorter than that,
approximately IA inches from
the floor. There are three
correct evening lengths, and
it depends on the gown and
the occasion which you
choose. Informal evening
gowns, of which there are
plenty in late spring and
summer, may be 10 inches
from the floor. Most dance
frocks, and summer evening
gowns that are a bit more
formal, are ankle length.
Really formal gowns for re-
ceptions, weddings, or other
stately occasions are instep
length, as they have been the
past winter. Don't forget in
measuring your skirt in
inches from the floor, you
must take into account your
height. Twelve inches from
the floor is right for a per-
son of medium height but if
you are extremely tall, you
might want yours shorter, or
if you are very short, they
will perhaps have to be a
bit longer.

Where Your

This years story on hem
lines applies to coats, dresses,

all approximately the same
length, coats long enough to
cover dresses, suits the same
as coats for daytime, with
hemlines going down as for
NAL hours approach. For

inches from the floor. For
spectator sports, or for very
informal daytime clothes, a

new-old cellar and cuff
sets.
Redingotes' Return
Although there is a de-
cline in interest in the three
piece suit of last fall, skirt,
jacket and blouse that make
a suit-dress, there is a con-
siderable revival of popular
ity for two pieces that
make a suit or a dress. One
type is the redingote. 1t got
off to a too early start last
year, and consequently to a
bad start, but promises to
do much better this year.
The new versions combine a
real dress, usually with
sleeves, and a coat that is
smart and practical enough
to be worn with Other
dresses, and that usually has
none of the material of the
The Washington times., 1932-03-14

There is just as much of a
contradiction in dresses as
there is in any other part of
the mode. We find dresses
that are entirely masculine
in cut but feminine in char
acter, dresses that have the
beginnings of a military ca
reer, but stop short and de-
eide to be frivolous. So it's
hard to lay down hard and
fast rules about them. Per-
haps the best way to express
it is to say that they hit a
happy medium between tail
Ored smartness and feminine
charm. For you will find the
elements Of both in almost
any dress you choose. Let
us examine the elements that
make for this strange but
utterly attractive complex

A Militant Line
The things that contrib
ute to a tailored look in
dresses are very much the
same characteristics that
make suits and coats man
nish or military. First are
their clean-cut, frankly sim

trimmed, but it's silhouette is,
after all, rather plain, just a
long straight skirt balanced
by generous shoulders above.

by Senator Wagner Dem, N. y
to provide jobs for the jobless now
that the administrations two chief
anti-depression measures have
passed congress with the help Of
the New Workers. party.
At the same time, Professor John
Dewey. president of the Peoples
Lobby, was on record as saying that
the impending vote on the Costi-
gan-La Toilette relief bill would test
not only the head but the heart
Of the senate.
These two statements as the week
began presaged an effort by Pro-
gressives and Liberals TO get Demo-
cratic leaders TO agree on a formal
and definite relief program.
Building Program Argued
They pointed first to the fact that
the Democratic controlled house has
not yet been given a chance to pass
on the Capper wheat bill or any
other SIMILAR measure which would
permit free distribution of some of
the federal farm boards wheat.
ThAs, proponents of these bills
recognize, will not settle the prob
lem of hunger. But they believe it
will stave off starvation until con-
gress agrees to some program Of
wider scope.
What" asked Wagner, can the
federal government do to help the
ioblesS?" He answered his own
query, saying:
THE federal government can
forthwith launch an extensive build
ing and improvement program large
enough to put to work about a mil
lion men directly and many more
indirectly.
Hoover Held Responsible
For more than six months, the
federal employment sterilization
board. created by of the employ
ment bills which I introduced in the
last congress, has been collecting
plans and specifications from more
than a hundred federal bureaus
which engage in some form of fed
eral construction.
In the hands of these bureaus
are thousands of projects which
need to be constructed. The plans
are in readiness. Congressional
authorization for these projects has
been given.
THE next and immediate step is
for the President, in accordance
with law, TO submit estimates to
congress for required appropriations
of money to carry the work for
ward"
Dewey pointed to passage of the
administrations two billion dollar
reconstruction finance corporation
bill, and said the various credit
measures advocated by President
