7 AM constantly impressed by the
small number Of women who know
the meaning Of smart simplicity
i On any city street the number Of
really well-dressed women Is sur
prisingly few And that doesn't mean
that many Of these women are not ex-
pensively dressed. A half hours walk
truth Of my assertion. One passes wom-
en- who, one feels, have spent q good
deal of time and money on their cos
tunes A few Of them Will be truly
chic. The rest will give an appearance
Of mediocrity. And the reason Is not
that these women have been obliged to
economic, but that they have never
learned the meaning Of smart sim
plicity.
One will be all rufIies and frills, an
other will not have learned how to as
semble accessories correctly, another is
unaware of the simple laws Of color
harmony. Perhaps out Of 10 women
there will be only one whose costume
Is truly smart. I used to believe that
women were actually learning the value
Of simplicity. That was in the days
when the sports mode influenced cos
tunes for every hour Of the day. Then
women chose simple costumes, because
there were no others to be had. As .
result. they presented an AIR Of chic
simplicity.
But today . new influence has come
into the mode-the Victorian trend
Now, no costumes in the history Of the
world have been more charming than
the Victorian, when wisely assembled,
and when selected with Judgment. But
these frills and rufles, pufYed sleeves
and nipped-in waistlines do offer much

to make sacrifices for schools.
Schooling More Necessary.
But let me call to your attention
the fact that as a civtli1a ton increases
in complexity schooling Is more neces-
sary than ever before. For people who
lived in an agricultural stage, when
roads were poor and towns were small
and far apart, less schooling was neces.
sary. Lteracy was the main require
ment. People were born practically
under the same conditions and into the
same conditions in which their parents
were born, and would live most of
their lives in those conditions
To-day we live IN complex civiliza-
ton, which it is necessary to under
stand in order to be adjusted to It.
Schools are the means by which W
accomplish this period Of adjustment"

strain of the responder" by bidding
three no trumps, in which case the
opener alone will be to blame il any
thing goes wrong if. however, the
opening bidder merely says two no
trumps over the suit take-cut, the re-
spending hand is saddled with the
whole responsibility if he bids three no
trumps II he rebids to three in his
suit, he is emphatically warning the
opener, and after that warning the
opener alone is to blame if he bids three
no trumps and fails to make it.

~ struck fashion this season and
II on its crest are two fabrics that

conjure with in the world Of
dress-linen and cotton-productS Of
our own Southern plantations and CT

In a season when the washtub has

The biggest news this season, OF
course, was the white and natural
colored linen coats worn over dark silk
dresses and the overwhelming popularity
of black linen-heavy black linen for
coats and suits and black handkerchief
linen for sports dresses And in the
wake of these have come countless

Seersucker. both plaided and striped,

favored And there are batistes and

Mail Contracts VitaI to Merchant Marine

IN the drive for economy in the Federal Gov
! eminent, it was inevitable that attention
should be directed to the annual loss under the
present system of mail contracts which are
awarded to American shipping lines.
The loss, however, was anticipated; tn fact
had been considered likely to exceed the pres
ent rate Of loss, at the time the merchant ma
rine act Of 1928 was passed. The attacks against
the Post Once Department for the type OF
contract let by the department have brought
vigorous defense, q defense which Acknowledges
the loss but defends it on grounds Of national
welfare and national defense.
According to Assistant Postmaster General
Irving Glover, the estimates made at the time
the merchant marine act was enacted forecast
an annual loss to the Post Once Department Of
$50, 900 900 a year through letting fiat con-
tracts rather than contracts based on pound
age carried. This estimated loss has by no
means been reached. Last year was the worst
year under the contracts. the total deficit be-
ing SIG, 164 ,337, safe margin remaining be-
tween that figure and the $50, 900 antici-
pated deficit. For the four-year period since
the enactment of the law. however, the aver
age loss has been but $13, $50 900. These fig
ures, Mr.. Glover insists, justify the activities
of the department. for the estimate of cost to
the Government has been safely in excess OF
the actual cost.
Answering those who criticize system
whereby the Government actually pays the
equivalent of a subsidy to the American ship
lines which carry the mails, although lower
rates might be obtained from foreign lines, Mr..
Glover explains the benefits to American eco
nomic life in peace time and the potential
value in case of war.
Because Of the mail contracts A trade routes
which practically cover the world are able to
be kept in operation. AL the officers of ships
plying these routes are American citizens and
fully two-thirds Of the seamen are also Amerl-
can. The scale of pay and other operating
costs are just about double those of foreign
ship lines Should the mail contracts be low
cred, it would be necessary for American lines
to scale their operating expenses to the level
of foreign lines or go out of business Such
scaling down of costs would inevitably lead
to be reduced to the level of wages abroad.
American sailors. 1t would mean that repairs
would have to be made in foreign shipyards
