Smart Swagger Goats
and Tailored Suits

MO matter how popular the white
~ swagger coats Of the Summer be-
come. we will not tire of them. They
are a fashion that improves on &C
uuaintance. And there is nothing
about them to make familiarity with
them breed contempt for them. They
are made in all sorts of fabrics-and
they look well with frocks Of any and
every color.
The Swagger coat of white wool fleece
has met with notable success with we'll
dressed women this Summer. You may
choose it in pure white or egg shell
tone, in full length or three-quarter
length.
Then there are swagger coats made
of silk crepe to match silk crepe dresses
and Of linen to go with linen or figured
cotton prints.
Suits, coats and dresses Of 6. decidedly
tailored sort have come into their own
again and are looked upon with favor
by the best dressed women here and
abroad It is the beginning Of real
revival-and not a mere fash In the
pan Of fashion.

Dark Sheer Material
Has Smart Approval

WITH vivid, bright coIors very much
w in evidence at the resorts this
Summer. with pastels highly favored
for evening and white dominant every
where, it is worth noting that dark,
sheer materials are considered very
smart for wear in town during the
warmer weather Jacket dresses OF
black or dark blue tucked chiffon are
chosen by many well dressed women
for about-toWn wear on warmer days,
and prints showing white or light fig
ures on dark background are highly
favored.
Two-piece suits Of linen or stout cot
ton materials add variety to the smart
Summer wardrobe and give a welcome
opportunity for wearing dainty, sheer
lingerie blouses.
And now many Of the stores are
offering pastel-toned silk crepe short'
sleeved dresses with three quarter
length swagger coats of matching fan
nel-dress and coat for a price that
would not have seemed excessive for
the coat alone II months ago.

and even patent leather. For street
wear there are oxfords or pumps show
ing white with trimming of brown or
black, and for sports you will like the
new oxfords and ghillies showing a
combination of white with black or
brown saddles.
White buckskin ghillies made with
low. fiat heels and crepe rubber soles
are chosen for tennis. Oxfords with

very slightly higher heels, showing
black or brown, saddles on white or
white elk or buckskin, are the smart
choice for golf. For sailing and boating
there are flat-heeled sandals or ghillies
made of unlined elkskin or canvas, with
rubber soles, and for beach wear there
are mesh sandals with strap across the
ankle or instep, made with a fiat or
medium high heel.
White cloth shoes are trimmed with
bands of white pigskin in very smart
fashion, and sometimes punched calf
skin is used with white cloth. These
shoes are very striking for semi-sports
wear, with white pique or other cotton
or linen dresses.

Flowers on Dresses.

CREPE de chine dresses, with field
flowers printed over them, are
most attractive under long redingotes.
Sometimes the field flowers are in
natural gay colors on black ground
or a blue ground. Sometimes they are
in, for instance, yellow, gray and green,
on black, or rust, brown and white on
beige.

ScarfS and Neckties.

CCARFS are still as important as ever
~ and neckties retain their appeal to
snartly dressed young women. On the
other hand there's a significant ten
dency toward mannish shirts Worn
without benefit of scarf or tie of any
sort. First, there was the collar but
ton shirt for sports-made with boy
ish turn-down collar buttoned at the
neck and worn without a tie. And
now women in that vanguard Of fash
ion are wearing brooches and clasp
pins in lieu qf ties to fasten their
blouse and SHIRT collars.

Supply of Handbags

HANDBAGS must provide variety
We no longer choose just one OF
two new handbags, but buy a hall
dozen at a time But that needn't
mean extravaganza because this year
you can buy half dozen bags to &c
with a half dozen different Summer
dresses for the price you would have
paid for two bags not so long ago.

Berries on Hats.

CMAIL punches Of berries are the
- smartest and newest trimming for
the wide brimmed Leghorn hat. Straw
berries, raspberries, huckleoerries. cur
rants-perhaps you won't be able to
tell exactly which they are, but they
make colorfUl trimmings that har-
monize with the dress OF inquired silk

Goats With Scarfs.

COME Of the new coats are sold with
- two scarfs-one in plain color to
match the coat, the other in dots or
figures. The idea is good, for there
are times and times for wearing scarfs
and sometimes the plain scarf will
add just the touch of trim, simple
smartness needed-sometimes the dot
ted scarf will give Just the perky, jaun-
ty air you want.

Velvet Jackets.

TRANSPARENT velvet jackets with
lace dresses are among the charm
ing Spring styles that, for warmer
weather, may be changed into a COM
bination of taffeta or georgette and
lace. Two shades of the same color
are used-or the jacket Is black with
a lace dress of pink, blue, white OF
some other color.

tweedy finish is also spoken of as a
likely winner for warmer weather.

STRIPES in the new clothes are used
- with intelligence. They form their
own decoration. Running up and down
in some parts of the dress. round and

the design interesting. S..---.---.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

The remark often is heard now that with
increased taxes, and the accompanying de-
crease in land values it is much better not to
own a home these days; that it is much more
profitable to rent from some one else who has
made the investment.
There are many who will take issue with
the idea that it is best to rent, even in these
days, and one of these is D. B. league, a prom
inent attorney of Sanford, whose interview
printed in the Sanford Herald portrays a
sound preachment on the philosophy Of indie
pendence that comes with home ownership.
Mr.. league said in part, II think one of the
most important accomplishments in life is to
be able to appreciate the relative value of
things-to put first things first. Applying this
philosophy to the material things of life home
ownership stands first. This means possessing
your own vine and fig tree, and accompany
ing acres.
1.-The home has been the supreme civilizing
influence through the ages. Like a rock it
stands back of the churches, the schools, and
all moral and social order. The investment in
land suitable either for farm, home or indus
try has always been encouraged, because time
has demonstrated that it alone has a lasting in
trinsic worth"

FOR TWENTY-FIVE N

and girls in North Carolina are given an op-
~portunity to build a foundation for life.
For twenty-five cents a day these boys and
girls are presented with new experiences, new
problems, and new facts.
For twenty-five cents a day a little more
knowledge is added to each boys and. girls

For twenty-five cents day S66,939 boys

For twenty-five cents a day, the State pro-
vides an education for every boy and girl.
Twenty-Five cents a day, the difference

two cents, the difference between failure and
success; twenty-five cents, the difference be-
tween disappointment and happiness.
Are the boys and girls Of North Carolina
worth twenty-five cents a day? Should twen-
ty-two cents a day be spent on the fuure cit
liens of North Carolina? Should the "North
Carolina of tomorrow" be an enlightened
State, giving every boy and girl from the
mountains to the sea an opportunity to bur-
geon out all that is within him, or should this
opportunity be limited at this time of stress
and financial depression? These are questions
which should be carefully considered in any
school program based on expenditures from

then and the public would like to
know where that saving was accomp-
lished, especially since the Court House
budget was greater under the Repub-
licans than under the Democrats. May
be the author of this supposed saving

abolish the poor house, put a chicken
in every pot and a car or two in every
garage. Well, as I have already said,
times are hard and the Republicans
will promise anything to get a job for
the rest of the depression. However,
when they start to lambast the Demo-
Gratis they ought to carefully look over
their W party record before talking
too much. People who live in glass
houses should be careful about heaving
stones at others. In closing, I wonder

admitted fact that they are usually
mighty short on performance they are
so adept on promises that G. o. P. has
taken on a new meaning and now sig

history has shown that they will prom
Use anything to get elected. With the

iceable though that the 1928 promise
of a Continued prosperity" is alto
gether lacking.
Possibly one of the most interest
ing sets of promises seen SO far is the
Rowan Republican Platform. After
ratifying and approving the Hoover
administration, % say nothing of con-
demning the Democrats, the Rowan
Republicans promise any number of
things, not the least of which is the
abolition of useless offices and a 80
per cent cut in county salaries. Let's
look back four years. Didn't they
promise something of the same sort
then? l believe the records show that
they abolished one office and created
several more. They abolished the Of
flee of County Treasurer and created
a County Engineer and County Tax,
Supervisor. These offices and that of
the Negro Farm Demonstration were
discontinued by the Democrats after
the landslide of 1880. If Republican
promises of 1882 are no better than
those of 1928, the election of a Coun-
ty Republican ticket would probably
mean the abolition of another office
and the creation of several more for
deserving and hard-up Republicans
who still have faith in Hoover in spite
of five and one half cent cotton and
three days a week in the textile mills.
Then comes the question of salary re-
auctions. 1t is a matter of public rec
ord that the Republicans made a few
modest cuts in 1928 and increased
other items to such an extent that
their budget was greater than the
Democratic ones of the two proceed

SOME TEXTILE PROBLEMS

The two main troubles with the textile in
dustry, according to an article in The Daily
News Record, are (1) lack of credit and (2)
profitless selling; selling without a reasonable
profit or none at all. Under the caption, 1.-THE
Solution to the Present Situation" the article
reads as follows:
1.-The condition of the industry is bad but
there are a few bright spots which, if studied,
would go far to point the way back to pros
perity.
There are two main stumbling blocks at
present and until these are removed, the sit
uation is hopeless.
1.-THE first and most important is the credit
situation. Collections in practically all sections
Of the country are extremely low This ap-
plies not only to textiles but to every other
product. The capital of nearly all business
houses is so tied up in bills receivable that they
are having great difficulty in meeting their
own debts when they come due. The situation
is getting worse rather than better, and must
mean wholesale failures unless checked at once.
situation; in fact the second trouble contains
the solution.
1.-THE second trouble is summed up in a very
few words. Selling without a reasonable profit
or without any at all.
There are some houses in different ends of
the textile business who are really making fair
to good profits on their sales. These people are
few and far between, and getting scarcer.

to an unbalanced one, aggravated by fear and

LABOR AND ROAD BUILDING

A recently completed study of the New
Jersey Contractors Association shows that 76
cent? out of every dollar spent for road work
goes to labor. Thirty-four cents is paid to la
Dor directly on the project and AZ cents in
directly through the transportation and man
u~facture of supplies and equipment.
The experience of other states has been SIM
liar, which explains the efforts being made to
expedite road building during the time of Sc
we're unemployment. 1t is interesting to note,
in this connection, that more of the road dollar
goes to labor when comparatively inexpensive
highways-of the "road-mix" type-are con-
structed, than in the case of main highways.
Furthermore, the road dollar goes much fur
ther from the standpoint of the community,
inasmuch as the cost of the former type is but
10 or 20 per cent of that of the latter.
The most fertile field for the road builder
lies in rural localities. For a very small cost
per mile, first-class, all-weather roads can be
built connecting farms and towns with ex-
isting main highways-and those secondary
roads carry, figurativey speaking, a constant
stream of dollars to the towns and farms
reached. They bring tourists off the beaten
path, stimulate small town business, make it
possible for the farmer to take his goods to
market or shipping points at the most advan-
tageous time. The nations secondary roads are
the nations food" roads-and that word is a
good measure of their importance.

lidity of the Ten Commandments is
not significant. That they are univer-
sal in application and true for every
race and cline is, after all, the only
thing that really matters. The same
may be said of Christ's law of love,
