leaders of the motor truck Interests
assembled from all parts of the STAT

all practices that tend to interr,nt

arouse the ire of private motorists.
A campaign of road courtesy amonp
truck operators is to be launched at
once.
"The majority Of motor truck oper.
ators Of Maryland respect the rights
of the private motorists and do their
best to give them free right of way"
said John E. Raine, General Manager
of the State Association, at the close
of the meeting.

not one truck owner who resents aRy

theless, we are going to do our utmost
to make all truckers realize that
courtesy on the highway is not only
good business but sound sense.
Association members will be urged
to take the matter up of road courtesy
with their drivers, not once but regu.
larly. Drivers will be instructed to
keep to the right at all times, to pull
over promptly for motorists who
signal to pass, and if necessary. even
to stop to permit faster vehicles to
pass.
Especial attention will be given to
see that trucks do not park along the
highway in way to endanger traffic

Trucks bearing these signs will not
travel within five hundred feet of each

and will give right of way to faster

FARMERS STRIKES

While the threat of nationwide farmers strike ap-
parenty has subsidized after stormy campaigns couple
OF states, 1T is interesting to reflect just what brings
about such uprisngs Writing from little town in Okla
homa to farm paper producer, who declares he is
in favor of farmers strikes, says:
The average price of oats is eight cents. In other
words, one bushe of oats would pay for two postage
stamps and two post cards Eggs average six cents
Dozen IL farmer wanted good tooth brush he would
have to sell eight eggs to get it. and then 90 into
his pocket for two cents in cash."
Any citizen who will sit down and study over such
ngures VIII probably understand why farmers in several
sections OF the country felt that they could no longer tot
crate such conditions They tried to exactly what or
ganlzed labor does when it feels its wages are
they started strike AS they view it, it was their only
recourse after everything else had failed They may have
been right or they have been wronghat is not for
us TO pass Judgment But this much ought to be clear
10 anyone there is something radically wrong somewhere
IN our system OF government that permits conditions to
reacn the point where there is any possible excuse for
farmers srke and until that trouble located and the
proper remedy applied such outburss are almost certain
to occur

 Many a girl this year is doins mean things to her face by wear ing the wrong kind of neckline- in the name of fashion.

For the slender type woman, the square cut necklines are excellent, even when they come right up to the throat. It really takes 8 young, baby-face to wear hard, round necklines with no trimming and the collar of the dress extending to the throat.
 Evenings give women a chance to play up their particularly good points. The thin-backed woman whose every vetebrae shows should forego the temptation to wear a that leaves the back bare. There are strapped effects, some of them with a center strap running right down the back, that are much better. Too plump a should have the same eau tion.
 In like manner, there are high front neck gowns that can be vastly becoming to certain types but horrid on others. Don't try the exaggeratedly high ones or those with the wide bateau line if you aren't certain of your own type.

 For this room, the smallest room in the house will suffice, if you are crowded for space. Just enough width to put a studio couch across one side. Just enough length to have a work table or desk and a few easy chairs and a bookcase or two.
 An ideal room for the modern girl does it's color scheme in a lipstick red and gay sapphire blue. It uses unpainted furniture for the bookcases which flank the little desk table, the low table by the couch and the rocking chair. It covers the arm chair with a neat plaid linen, in the blue of the floor with red and yellow lines in it. This same linen makes the tailored s1ip-cover for the couch and the rag rugs combine the same gay colors in their patterns.
 Walls Are Cream.
 The walls are painted cream with a tw0-foot baseboard effect of clear white. Where this meets the cream, there is a little narrow but colorfui border of the blue and red. If your room is very small, 1t is better not to use this, unless you put 1t near the bottom of the floor or the op of the wall, near the ceiling. The floor is the sap phire blue of the linen.

One of the incest things about such a room Is the closet opening off of it. For a young girl, paint the entire sides of the closet red, have the floor blue and the ceiling cream. A chest of drawers should be placed at the end, if room is afforded. Use hangers that are the red or the blue. And, most im- portant of all, have a mirror In the door, if you possibly can af- ford. it.
