If milady is to be in style, she
must soon purchase ballroom
slippers which worn without
stockings, will reveal her toe
nails-and the toenails must
be manicured and tinted as
carefully as her fingernails!
This edict was pronounced
today by two groups of fashion
dictators convening here, the
Illinois Hairdressers Association
and the National Shoe Retail
ers' Association.
Max Hoefer, president of the
hairdresserS, said:
For evening wear. the gen.
eral color scheme of tOenailS,
fingernailS, lips, eye lids, and

inum blondes will use black,

red suitable, or both may use
bronze. Eye shadOwing for a

Although three divisions of the

new quarters in the just-finished
Commerce Department Building,
the greater part of the Census
offices will remain in the tenn

decennial population calculations
are completed, perhaps until au-

The three divisions already
moved are the biographies divi-

and division of financial statistics
of States and cities, about $50
employees in all.
The electrically-operated adding
and tabulating machines of the
bureau, which have been moved,

alternating and direct current are
available in the new building, but
all the machines used direct cur
rent in the former building, and
to be used in the quarters as

RASKOB INSISTS
LIQUOR ISSUE
Be MET
Warns Party Of Danger of
Split If Prohibition Is Dodg-
ed; Poll Result Revealed

The Democratic Party must
either grapple courageously
and sensibly with the prohibi-
ton issue in 1892 or run the
risk of definite split between
North and Southland the
formation of a Liberal third
party.
With this as his warning and
his text, John J. Raskob, national
chairman, appealed again to his
party today to incorporate in its
platform plank pledging the
people an opportunity to vote for
a change, preferably through the
medium of his home rule" plan
of liquor control.
State Rule, His Plan
This plan would amend the
Eighteenth Amendment so as to
exempt from it's provisions those
States which by referendum vote
to assume control of their own
liquor problem within their own
borders. This would still leave
those States desiring to remain
dry the protection of the Federal
police powers in the original
Eighteenth Amendment.
Results of Poll
To support his contention that
a majority of the party is op-
posed to prohibition in its pres
ent form, and to impress the ma
tional committee which meets
here this week, Raskob made pub
lie the results of his recent poll
of the 1880 persons who con-
tributed funds to the party in
1928.
Replies received to date, he re-
ported, total 25,578, and of this
number SO per cent favor submit
ting the prohibition question to
the people for decision.

Wisconsin Senator Says Bill

The Administration s plan
to rush the twO-billion-dollar
reconstruction finance corpo-
ration bill through the Sen
ate was blocked today by Sen
ator Blaine (R.) of Wiscon-
sin, who charged it was de-
signed to aid the banks that
brought on the depression
and to "produce an upward a,
turn in the Stock Market" "
Blaine objected to immediate
consideration of the measure, pro
testing against the AdmlnlStra-
tion's haste to enact bill which
will provide not a single mouth
full of food for the hungry nor a
single work day for tie working
man"
+ Goes to Calendar
Under the rules the bill went

leaders can start debate on it to-
morrow if they command a ma
jority vote.
Blame charged President Hoover
had "stubbornly and Wilfully' re-
fused to call Congress into session
during the nine months recess
last year. If there were need for
haste in enacting relief leglsla-

will be held responsible for the
delay by having failed to summon
Congress.

TAX RUIN

Thousands of estates through
out the United States virtually
will be co1lfiscated by the govern
ment through the imposition Of
Federal taxes unless relief is
obtained from Congress or the
courts, according to a group of
tax experts, headed by E. C..
Alvord, former special assistant
to Secretary Mellon, now a priv
ate law practitioner, who have
made a study of the situation
and will seek legislation of RENE
dial character.
Should this fail it is antic-
ipated that resort will be taken
to the courts. However, court
action would only apply to in
dividual cases and would not
form a general remedy.
Thousands of estate tax returns
have been made in the last two
or three years. Subsequent to
the filing of the return the
estates have deprecated in value
to such a degree that in many
cases the tax due is greater than
the present value of the estate.

A direct appeal to the White

means which could save the jobs
of 35 mechanics working at the
Washington Navy Yard, who have
been ordered dismissed because
their wives also are in the Gov.
ernment service.
Secretary of the Navy Adams
yesterday declined to intervene in
the matter and in a letter to
Senator Reed (R), of Pennsyl.
vania. said that instead of giving
the men an indefinite furlough
they would be released.
The Secretary explained that
the Comptroller General had
ruled that an indefinite furlough
did not constitute a reduction in
personnel, nor meet provision of
the married person clause in the
economy act.
Senator Reed in taking the
matter up with the Navy chief
asked that the men be continued
at work until Congress can act.
