Roll Call Shifts Vote.
When the bill was reported to the
House today by the committee as q
whole, Chairman Byrns of the Appro-
priations Committee asked for a sepa-
rate vote on the La Guardia amend
ment. The Tennessee Democratic
leader previously had voiced his deter
mined opposition to further pay in
creases on grounds of economy.
A viva voce vote taken on the amend
ment prior to the roll call indicated
intention OF the House to leave the sal.

S|GNBOARD BILL
IN VIRGINIA HOUSE
Measure to Come Up for
Final Action Today After
Fight by Reid.
BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

BY a STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, March 5.-Every
effort on the part of its enemies failed
to prevent engrossment by the House
of Delegates late yesterday of the bill by
Delegate Hugh Reid providing for an
annual tax on, and registration, of bill
boards. The measure was 70 come up
on final passage today.
Delegate Reid emerged victorious
after one of the strangest battles that
was ever waged in the House chamber.
All non-recorded votes showed that the
bill had failed and each recorded vote
showed it as winning. AS a result of this
situation, Speaker j. Sinclair Brown
discovered that at least one of the mem
bers, Delegate Howard Zigler, Republi-
can, was registered by the voting ma
chine as having voted "on" when he
was not even in the chamber.
Reid Explains Advantages.
When the bill came up for engross-
ment, Reid explained that it placed a
permit fee of so cents on small signs of
every nature and 81 on billboards over
$50 square feet. He also explained that
it would permit the State Highway
commissioner to proceed against the
erection of billboardS or for their re-
moval as a nuisance. One Of the princi-
pal evils to be eliminated, he said, was
the erection of tin signs which, he de-
clared, should be taxed out of exist
enCe."
The opposition was led by Delegate
Wilson w VellineS of Norfolk. himself
a billboard operator. He moved that
the measure be dismissed from the cal
endar and the ViVa-Voce vote indicated
success of his motion.
When a division was called for and
the vote taken by counting the hands
raised for and against, the motion
showed its success by As to 80. Reid
then demanded a recorded vote and
the motion was defeated by vote of
As to SO.
Challenge Is Sustained.
This was followed by a motion by
Delegate Daniel Coleman of Norfolk to
reconsider, but Reid challenged Cole
the grounds that he had voted against
the bill on the first vote. This chal-
lenge was sustained by the Speaker.
The next step was on the question
of engrossment and the viva-voce vote
again indicated its defeat, but a
recorded vote showed 46 to fl for
engrossment.
Vellines then asked that his vote be
changed in favor of the bill so that
he could move for reconsideration but
the Speaker refused this request.
Just as members thought they we're
through with the matter for the day
Speaker Brown announced that Dele
gate Zigler had been registered as vot-
ing when he was not even in the
chamber and another member stated
that he had been requested by zigler
to press his button.
This roll call was then thrown out
and another vote taken. This showed
even greater strength for the patron Of
the bill, the result being 40 to 80 for
engrossment. Two Northern Virginia
delegates voted against the engross-
ment, They were j. Fred Birrell OF
Alexandria and George Herring Of
prince william County.

It was up to President Hoover today
to say whether 40,000,000 bushels OF
Farm Board wheat are to be donated to
distressed farmers and the unemployed
Of the cities.
The last step was taken in Congress
late yesterday toward approving bill
giving away this grain, SO the measure
awaited only the signature or veto OF
the Chief Executive. The general eX-
pectation was that he would approve it
Bill Believed UncIear.
Inquiry as to Mr.. Hoover's intentions
only drew from quarters close to him
the remark that the legislation prob
ably would not be considered to violate
the Presidents principles against direct
Federal relief But the White House
did not consider the bill altogether
clear, in such provisions for instance as
those providing for milling the wheat
into flour
The Red Cross will distribute the
grain, if the President signs the bill
and is to undertake converting it into
eatable form in cities over 5000 popu-
lation it is authorized to have it baked
into bread. Some of the grain would
be used as cattle feed, however
The Senate took only about five min
utes yesterday to complete Congressional
action on the resolution.
House Amendment Added.
It agreed to a House amendment COM
bining in one 10000, 000- bushel measure
two Senate resolutions which had pro-
vided 10000, 900 for human relief and
100000 more for live stock in the
Northwest drought areas.
The plan to draw upon the Farm
Board granaries for relief of suffering
humans was sponsored in the Senate
weeks ago by Senators Wheeler, Demo-
crat, of Montana, and Capper, Repub-
lican, of Kansas. Later Senator Nor
beck, Republican of South Dakota, pro-
posed the smaller amount for live stock
feed
Both proposals were passed promptly,
but they languished for days in the
House Agriculture Committee room
until that group reversed a previous
stand and reported favorably. An over
whelming 344-to-2 vote followed Thurs
day in the House.
Concurrence in the House amendment
binding the two plans together was
voted on motion of Senator Norbeck.

Simplicity Is Keynote, .:1.
Of Juvenile Trimmings

THERE is a smart tailored simplic-
ity about little girls clothes this
year that is highly gratifying. Frills,
rufies and fiounceS have been discarded
as too ornate for the active young girl
of the twentieth century. Trimming
takes the form Of neat shocking or
fagoting, piping or bands of contrast
ing color, simple pleats stitched down
where the effect of fullness Is not need
ed, small applied pockets and neat but
tons.
Fabrics for children's clothes are
chosen for serviceability as well as
smart appearance. There are the usual
plain or printed sturdy cotton fabrics,
some of which have the soft luster of
silk Silks that have the dull surface
and tone of woods, and woods that are
as light of weight and firm of texture
as silk or cotton.
fashions that never wanes, and this
year the pure white dress is especially
desirable as a background for red or
blue trimmings, or accessories. The va
rious darker blue tones that are known
as navy or marine will be chosen for
play suits and practical resort wear.
Bright red Is important rs an accessory
of blue or white while pastels OF the
softer sort make a strong bid for favor.
Clothes for the small boy are as SIM
pie and practical as those chosen for
his sister, and for the warm months at
least he may be as free from the dis
comforts Of adults masculine traditions
In dress. Shirts Of the sleeveless or
short-sleeved sort with open necks are
given q smart sports appearance that
Evening star., 1932-04-24

make them highly desirable to the very
young men
Sweaters answer the problem of extra
warmth for small girls and for small
boys. There Is nothing 50 comfortable,
nothing that interferes less with youth
full activities, than a pull-on sweater.
They can be made at home by the
clever knitter-the work is delightful
and the woods are SO soft and colorful
that they are q real temptation Or
they can be bought, in every color and
pattern, for moderate prices.
1t Is most attractive plan to have
several Of these little sweaters to go
with different dresses-perhaps one of
beige, one of blue, one of green, one
of rose. Or, II there are just two, one
Of beige and one Of green might be used
becomingly with all suits or dresses.
The color scheme of the little girls
clothes must be considered when
course, the same thing must be consid :
cred In choosing the small bows
sweaters. For the older boy gray and
beige and green and blue, often mixed
tolors, are usually chosen.
Tiny frills-although We have already
said frills have been discarded-are one
of the most attractive finishes for the
very little girls dresses. Narrow white
batiste frills, gathered or laid in pleats,
used about neck and arms, simplify the
vari-colored prints that are so smart
and suitable for children Of this are.
Often shocking on these dresses Is done
in bright colors, the colors Of the print
ed figures. The use of the white edg-
ings at neck and arms keeps the dresses
from seeming q hodge -podge OF colors.

Straps Hold High Skirts
Smoothly Under Bodices

THE weeks mailbag from readers
held many interesting questions
about new dress problems. So we're
turning it over to you with our answers
in the hope that it will give you some
good ideas for your Spring wardrobe.
Here's the first question:
u have a lightweight jersey sports
dress made with a skirt and short
helted overblouse that is giving me no
end of concern. because whenever
raise my arms the blouse rides up at
the waistline. I cannot sew the skirt
and blouse together because the skirt
goes up at the side and the blouse
goes up at the front"
You might sew the two pieces to-
gether across the back and then fasten
snap fasteners at the front along the
belt OF the blouse and skirt. Dresses
Of the sort you describe are often i'm
proved in that way. Another good
plan Is to sew a somewhat wider belt
on the skirt of matching color and
then arrange inch-wide ribbons or
straps of material in suspender fashion
on the skirt. They will be under the
blouse and will not show but viii keep
the skirt and blouse from parting COM
pany because when you raise your arms
you VIII raise the sklrt tlHIe aS "oAi
as the blouse.
I'm going TO Europe on a tour in
July. ! am planning to have light
weight wool suit with separate wash
blouses to wear for travelling. ! have
no Spring coat, my Winter coat Is
pretty heavy. Do you think 1t will be
necessary for me to take a coat?"
You will be much better prepared for
your tour if you have coat to wear
on cooler, wet days on steamer and
for motoring and cooler days on your
travels 1 would suggest rather light
weight tan polo coat of regulation cut
