Investors Vote Today

Plans for reopening the Dis
trict National Bank on a 100 per
cent basis are progressing salts
factorily, Joshua Evans, jr., presl-
dent and conservator OF the
bank, said today.
Just what the plans are Mr..
Evans said he could not disclose
at this time, but he said he has
hopes for the early reopening OF
the bank.
Directors of the bank have
been meeting daily, going over
the plans, and it is expected that
they will be placed soon in the
hands of the Comptroller of the
Currency for approval.
Stockholders of the Potomac
Savings Bank met in Alex

the plan to transfer the assets
of the institution to the Potomac

FIGHT ON BILL
PERIL To ITS
PROSPECTS
"Brand New Ideas" in Need of
Explaining by Secretary,
Say Opponents

A revised draft of President
Roosevelt's farm relief bill ran
into stiff opposition today before
the Senate Agriculture Com
mittee, causing administration
leaders to summon Secretary Of
Agriculture Wallace to their aid
before trusting the measure to
vote.
Secretary Wallace was asked
to appear before the committee
this afternoon to defend it's
brand new ideas" Of farm re-
lief.
The bill was sharply modified
by Senator Smith CD of South
Carolina, committee chairman.
With the consent of other COM
r1ittee members, he eliminated
all allotment features and re-
wrote the processing tax pro-
visions so as to slash the tax.
Even this failed to satisfy critics
of the bill.
Farm Cnle1S 10 IaIk
Farm leaders were clamoring to
be heard by the committee before
it takes a vote on the bill. The
committee finally decided to hear
John A. Simpson, of the Farmers
Union, and George Peek, Of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, this afternoon.
There was division Of opinion
over the number of crops to in
clude in the plans for reducing
acreage. Some Senators demanded
the plan be used as an experiment
at first on only two or three major
crops. If it succeeded. they said,
it could be extended to all major
crops.
The old Smith cotton relief bill.
incorporated as Title in the Ad-
ministration bill, was left un-
touched. Under this section. the
Secretary of Agriculture could ex-
change options on Government
owned cotton for pledges to reduce
cotton acreage this year.
Tax Features Changed
The Presidents suggestion for
reduction of acreage in other
basic agricultural crops, through
the Government renting excess
acreage, was left in the bill.
This section would authorize
the Secretary Of Agriculture to
enter contracts for the leasing
of land from producers as may
be necessary in order adequately
to reduce or prevent the produc-
tion of excessive surpluses of any
basic agricultural commodity,
having in view the current con-
sumption demand in domestic and
foreign markets"
The taxing features were
changed to eliminate the Presi-
dents plan which called for q
tax equal to the difference be-
tween average crop values in the
period 1910-1914 and present
values.
The new provision would give
the Secretary of Agriculture
power to fix any "rate Of tax
necessary in his judgment to
produce the revenues" for renting
excess acreage. Instead of raising
between $8OO,000,O00 and $1,000,-
900 900 as suggested by the Presi-
dent, the tax probably wouldn't
raise more than $100,000,000 or
5000, 600 900,

 His words broke of as he turned the key in the lock. The door swung open.
 Bannister saw living room, longer than it was wide, with three windows at the end. There was an attractive dark rug on the floor, attractive. figured draperies at the windows. Aside from these de- tails the room was completely in disorder. A desk, standing before the window had been rified. Chairs were at all angles, one of them upturned. Pillows from the daven- pirt had fallen to the floor. Dirt had been trampled into the carpet and there were several places where ashes had been spilled.

If one were to ask the average person the reason for his acquiring substitute for his lost teeth, the answer would invariably be-"for the sake of appearance" While thls reason is important there are other advantages of properly constructed dentures (bridges and plates). Full plates, used where the jaw contains none of the natural teeth help in the chewing of the food. in maintaining the health of the mouth tissues and the underlying jawbone, and keep the facial mus cles in normal shape and function. The chief function of the partial plate or the fixed bridgework is the task of protecting the remain ing teeth. This is done by keeping them in normal position. If lost tooth is not replaced in time, the adjoining teeth shift, causing in many cases unbelievable irregulari- ties. The teeth tip bringing about the formation of catchalls for food. The teeth opposing the empty spaces, having no teeth to meet during the movements of the jaw, gradually grow out of their sockets and eventually become so loose that they require extraction. This can all be avoided by inserting a properly made denture to replace missing teeth.
 A type of case frequently neg Iected is that of missing lower pos terior teeth. that is a lower jaw with only the front teeth present. Unless the person has a very strong and dense upper jaw bone, the up per front teeth will eventually be pushed outward and will present marked spaces between these very prominent teeth.
 Simply by inserting the missing lower teeth, which can readily be. done by what dentists call lingual bar plates, the stress of mastication will be distributed over the whole mouth and will not be concentrated on the front teeth.
 When the average person speaks of preventive dentistry he refers to diet and mouth cleanliness. It is not recognized by many laymen that when teeth have been extrac- ted preventive measures are still called for.
 Proper foods-milk, fruits and vegetables, should all be provided, the mouth should be kept clean, lost biting surfaces should be re- stored. Missing teeth should always be replaced unless mouth condi- tions make it impossible.
 An adult, going through the pro cess of having artificial teeth in serted, is a capable subject for spreading dental health propagan- da in family circles and among friends. His experience will help

We might guess along with you all that tigrette was a kind Of a baby tiger, or tigre to the French. But you'll have to figure it out for yourself about the weenushk. We've asked everybody, seen pieces of it, touched it and smelied it but we get no reaction of any other animal to when we might com pare it. The pelt has a stand-up fuzz over it, thicker than the tlg- rette and it is sort of speckled like certain tribes of skunk; it is excel lent for bordering coats and things, is light in weight and very flat tering. If you can't find 1t any where in your town you'd better write note to Vanek, Paris and ask for particulars!
 Any old burlap lying around the house? Snatch it up and take it to your tailor who, following the Paris mode if he's smart, can make you perfectly ritzy ensemble a la Bruyere who uses Rodier's burlap in blue to make a skirt and three quarter coat. The coat is worn over a sleeveless waistcoat in white gail lac with blue bone buttons bounc- ing down the front.
 And just to prove that foxes and ermines are thumbing their cold little noses at anemic pocketbooks, they've gotten together on an even ing cape or coatee, as Blondell who makes it calls it. The ermines cov- CT the shoulders and the foxes trot around the edge as a wide border. This slap at depression fastens at the throat with a gorgeous clasp of dimunts, polls and hemeralds!
