If you want your dress to have that
new look be sure its sleeves are topped
with some sort of fancy epaulets. Ii

will be capped with tailored and
stitched or braided effects. For dinner

weaves the theme is elaborated upon
via sparkling embroidered motifs such
as here pictured. This velvet aress

to create definite waistline and hip
curves. The full sleeves are fashion
ably worked with elongated shoulder
pieces of crystal passementerie. Rhine
stone buttons finish the neckline. The
little velvet pill-box turban sports a
quaint ostrich tip.

DUNLAP SAYS STATES
SHOULD USE ALL OF ROAD
TAXES ON HIGHWAYS

Federal highway aid for the states
soon will be difficult to justify IT the
states divert gasoline tax receipts to
to other than highway purposes, said
Acting Secretary Dunlap in a state
ment to the press February 81. MIR.
Dunlap said the public should bear in
mind the basic purpose of federal aid
for highways. In his statement he said:
sIn the last eight years the federal
government has distributed nearly ST.
600 100000 to the states for road build
ing Many OF the states legislatures
now have before them plans to increase
gas and motor-vehicle taxes, to restrict
highway travel, and to divert funds
collected from motor-vehicles users to
fonread purposes These plans conflict
with the basic purposes of Federal
aid for highways.
1.-THE mere fact that any state takes
funds collected from motor-vehicle
users and spends them for general ad-
ministration, or any purpose other
than highways, argues strongly that
federal assistance for road building IS
not needed in that state.
Excessive taxation on gasoline, oil,
vehicle licenses, etc, tends to limit and
reduce the use Of the highways, by
making such use unduly expensive.
This is directly opposed to the basic
theory behind federal highway aid.
If we believe that the highways are
to-day vital national asset, necessary
to bushes as well as to social prog
ress, we ought to encourage rather
than discourage their use.
Federal aid to the states for high
ways ought to be continued, in my
Judgment, but it will soon be difficult
to Justify if highway receipts continue
to be diverted by the states to other
than highway purposes. Levied with
moderation, the gas tax is perhaps the
best illustration of tax levied ac-
cording to ability to pay, benefits re-
ceived. and convenience of collection
This is no time to ride willing horse
to death"

ECONOMICS CLASS STUDIES
BANKING SYSTEM

Aside from the interest in the bank
ing system occasioned by their having
deposited in bank the contents OF
the little pig bank, or the miniature
bank of some other type, IN which
pennies had been stored since the first
birthday, the members Of the eco
nonic class are interested in the bank
ing system in a strictly educational
sense.
CONFIDENT with the predominancc
OF the banking question in todays ma
tional life, is the fact that the eco
Monies class has just reached that
point in the text book where banking
and the entire banking system are ex-
planned in detail.

ance, and is being animatedly dis
