President RooseveltS public works
program with an income tax in
crease. coupled with 4 dividend
tax and additional gasoline eX-
else.
WASHINGTON. May %. (UP)
Congress siGnalled full speed
ahead last night for President
Roosevclt's national recovery bill
with the hope that it would be
through the house and up for
consideration in the senate before
the Weekend
Only details remain to be
ironed out before the measure
embracing public works and in
dustry control reaches the floor
of the house. Once there, it will
be debated under one of the
stringent rules so popular with
the Democratic leadership.
Chairman Harrison Of the SEN
ate finance committee will begin
hearings on the measure today
and hopes to conclude them by
Tuesday. Senate debate is cX-
pected to last from a week to ten
days.
The feature Of the measure
that is worrying the house ways
and means committee is the form
of taxation that shall be levied
to raise the $220,0O0,OOO to pro-
vide the sinking fund and inter-
est charges to retire the So, 300,-
100000 which is TO be appropri-
ated for the public works pro-
gram.
For three days the committee
has wrangled over the taxation
Plan without coming to any con-
clusior. Last night it appeared
likely that a compromise would
be voted in the committee today.
Sentiment is strong in the COM
mittee for q sales tax, a plan that
inevitably leads to stormy debate
on the floor. Most members Of
the committee feel that unless
they devise some form of taxa
ton quickly, President Roosevelt
will bring forward his own plan
in the form of sales tax dis
guiSed as q unemployment tax"
with food. clothing, medicine and
other essentials exempted.
An increase in the normal in
come tax rates, particularly in
the lower and medium brackets,
also has been suggested as a sure
fire source Of revenue. Raising
Ct the lower bracket income tax
from to 6 per cent is one METH
cd that has been suggested.
A third method is adding an
other 3-4 of a cent a gallon to
the gasoline tax; a fourth is to
get the money by taxing corpo-
ration dividends.
President Roosevelt's recon-
mendation that the Marland oil
control bill be written into the
recovery measure probably will
be accepted by the house commit
tee, but no action will be taken
on it until the tax feature has
been disposed of.
Once the taxation phase of the
measure has been drafted, little
opposition will appear in the
house. Democratic leaders eX-
pect to jam this bill through with
all the speed and cunning they
have displayed in disposing of the
other emergency legislation sent
up from the White House.
The senate finance committee
will hear Senator Wagner, Dem,
N. Y, as its first witness today.
He will be followed by Donald
Richberg, counsel for the railroad
brothcrhoodS.
President Roosevelt hopes the
bill will put 100000 men to
work. Besides the vast public
works program, there is a prOvi-
sion for industrial planning.
Through it, the federal govern
ment sets itself up as partner
with business, accepting sugges-
tions from trade associations as
the best means in which to keep
production in some sort of bal
ance with consumption.

shows best taste and "accus-

The vogue for satin continues
and increases. Almost over
night it has become midsum-
mer's leading fashion. Black
satin suits, dresses, accessories
are being bought actually in
numbers now. We haven't seen
many Of the new things about
town yet, so most women have
evidently gone vacationing in
them, but that means they'll
wear satin here when they
come back. Black Is the favor
ite, though some browns have
been chosen too. It's a prac-
tical fashion, for satin is really
rather cool, and at the same
time, it presents a smart, fresh
appearance, even after hard
wear on a hot day.
Now for Women
We've shown satin suits and
dresses for the young and slim,
and we had satin accessories
yesterday for everybody, so to-
day it's time to turn attention
to the larger woman, and the
woman who is hard to fit. For
you can find satin suits and
dresses in half sizes, and large
sizes, in just as smart versions
as the misses sizes. If satin is
not too shiny, and is cleverly
handled, it is very slenderizing,
so is suited to the woman who

quent. When your hands are
very dirty. try rubbing into the
skin a cleansing cold cream or
skin food before washing them
with soap and warm water. You
will be surprised to see how
quickly the dirt disappears and
how soft the skin remains.
The use Of hand lotion after
this treatment tops off the
process beautifully. See that
you get a lotion which is Sooth-
ing to the skin. Half a lemon
will be found useful to remove
stains from preparing vegetables,
as it has light bleaching
qualities.
Use Gloves
Naturally the meticulous
woman will use gloves, either
fabric or rubber, as much as
she is able when engaged in
any sort Of manual work. It
is also desirable, if you wish
to keep your hands in soft
condition, to massage them at
night with a nourishing cream.
If your hands tend to be
overdry, or if they are chapped
or roughened. what they need
is oil. This might be unpleas-
ant perhaps in the daytime,
but when massaged into the
hands at night. they may be
covered with cotton gloves.
This treatment will be partic-
ularly beneficial in the winter,
when your skin is naturally in
a dry condition.
I have given you To-Day an
outline for the fundamental
care of the skin on the nands.
Tomorrow I will tell YOU about

in itself.

different bit of white if you tire
Of it. The swagger coat is at
tractive, is the right length for
a slender look, and the dress
is complete without it. This
suit is priced $3.50, and is in
black.
In Half Sizes
The other suit on the left is
in half sizes, 161a to 241a, and
is designed for the woman who
is full through the hips and
upper arms. Notice the clever
scanning through the waistline,
which makes the dress fairly
melt into the figure, and look
very slender. The short sleeves
of the dress are hand finished,

Should Bachelors and Old Maids
Be Taxed?
Nobody will deny that the
family constitutes the very bed
rock upon which a nation Is
built.
If the family as a social unit
should disappear; if marriage
as an institution providing for
the maintenance of homes and
the rearing of children should
be abandoned, it is certain that
in time States and nations as
now organized would disinte-
crate and the human race,
within a comparatively few
generations, inevitably would
cease to exist.
Is there, not, then just rea-
son why a special tax should
be imposed upon bachelors
and old maids?
Should they not be penalized
for failure to do their share
toward maintaining the family
as the unit on which perpetu-
ity of state and nation depend?
Certain it is that the nation
with the greatest number OF
families will be longest to
survive. Small wonder, there
fore, that every country is so
definitely concerned about its
own vital statistics, especially
those relating to marriage and
the birth and Geath rates.
That marriage and the rear
ing of children mean added ex-
pense for a man as well as
extra responsibilities for both
parents goes without saying.
No one but a child could pos
sibly believe in that ancient
and romantic tradition about
two being able 20 live as cheap
as one. Indeed, even in times
gone by when the economic
situation was not as precarious
as it is today. it took a man
until he was twenty-five or
thirty before he could afford
to marry or could adequately
support his wife and children.
With women the situation
is somewhat different. Never
theless - since practically all
walks Of life are now open to
women and every one OF them
can earn her own living and
be independent of male support
if she really wants to-mar-
riage must needs also be looked
upon by women as a sacrifice IN
many cases.
These considerations which I
have discussed are. however,
of a strictly personal nature,
and, in the last analysis, they
are purely selfish.
The instructive urge to give
and receive affection and to
find expression for the sex In
stinct can, of course, be satls-
fled outside the marital state,
and whether such behavior Is
immoral is beside the question
here. The point is that single
men and women do give way to
such impulses "a fact which
quite decidedly makes them feel
that marriage can be avoided
altogether.
But what about the obliga-
tions of bachelors and old
maids to the State? Since the
nation depends so largely upon
the integrity Of the family unit
for it's own stability, and since,
furthermore, every human be.
ing as part Of a social and
political group, receives so
much in the way of benefits and
therefore owes equally much in
the way of loyalty and support,
should rot the State rightfully
levy a tax-what might be in
terpreted as a fine or punish
ment-upon those who evade
the sacred duty of perpetuating
our civilization and the face?
At any rate, what do you
think? What suggestions have
you to offer?

Love Ashamed Of Its Object
Cannot Thrive

Love Ashamed OF Its Object
Cannot Thrive
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have a college degree, but
the boy I o with is only a high
school graduate. We are "a
and c6 years old, and have gone
together for several years. His
occupation at present is truck
driver. He can do anything in
the mechanical line, and has
made quite a bit of money on
the side doing this type of work.
That he wears overallS during
working hours is humiliating to
me, when all our friends are
professional people. We are
both very much in love, but his
job hurts my pride terribly. I
feel quite superior to him
mentally, and I wonder if this
will prevent our being happy.
He is very ambitious, but, with
just a high school education,
his ambition seems rather futile
to me.
A CONSTANT READER.
Isn't it the man rather than
the Job, my dear? Especially
at present, when so many
white-collar men are unem-
ployed and so many in the
mechanical trades are drawing
wages?
Henry Ford didn't begin
with a college education, but,
like your friend, he was clever
in a mechanical way. And
the Wright Brothers, who did
so much for pioneer aviation,
had, if memory serves me, a
bicycle repair shop on a side
street. The greatest Of our
presidents was a rail splitter,
and the first of the Wander
bilts in this country was born
with a silver spoon in his
mouth.
On the other hand, the
world is full Of failures who
have had one or more degrees
from the best universities. It's
the man, every time, rather than
the degrees, his job, his relatives,
environment or previous con-
dition Of servitude."
But if you feel superior to
your lover, and are ashamed
Of him because he spends his
working hours in greasy over
alls, it would be a grave mis-
take to marry him. 1t would
be unfair to you both. He'd
know you were ashamed Of
him, even if you tried to carry
it off. For there is a human
wireless, between people who
are closely associated, that is
often more reliable than the
spoken word.
And what would your own
emotions be, if you happened
to be speaking to overall-clad
husband and one Of your old
friends passed by dressed in
white flannels, or even a morn
ing coat and striped trousers?
It seems funny that any
garment as ugly as morning
coat could evoke deep emotion,
but very likely it would if it
happened along during one of
those times when you were
feeling superior.
I hate to say so, my dear,
but I'm afraid you're too
strongly influenced by ex-
ternals to bring about a sue
ceSsful marriage with this
young man. Your love must be
strong enough to overbalance
such shame as this, to accept
''for richer or poorer, for better
or worse" as the beautiful
words of the marriage cere-
mony read.
Unless you feel that you can
make these promises whole
heartedly, it would be as unfair
to the man as to yourself to
make those VOWS.
