of authority, he has decided
that it's safer to put on q bullet

Yellow With Black

Paris is sponsoring yellow with
black. It's a stunning comblna'
ton, and is good almost anywhere
you find it.
Black street costumes can find
no better complement than vel
low, unless perhaps it's white, the
old favorite of the ParisianS for
a union with black. Yellow hats,
gloves, blouses, handbags and even
silk stockings are being worn in
France, with black.
That reminds us here in Amer
lea that yellow also is first sports

white, of course). You see it on
the beach, on the street, at work,
at play, in the evening -. any
where and everywhere that you
see people.
Another color revival has just
been staged by beetroot red. 1t

again, and is good in beetroot and

and accessories, particularly COM
bined with white, and in robes,
suits, accessories and in contrast
with white for the beach.
Hats of velvet are appearing al.
ready. That seems premature,
but velvet always comes out in
summer, and berets or floppy hats
of it are worn with summer
clothes. Furthermore, we have
summer velvets this year, new and
different from anything we've
ever had before. They're used
mainly for evening wraps, but are

The Norfolk Suit
Is Back

Well dressed men, those who
really bother with their clothes.
know that the Norfolk suit is
back. And the Norfolk jacket
is back as a sports coat to
wear with odd trousers.
The main reason for its re-
turn is the fact that, men are
wearing sports clothes SO much
more. and so many more types
of sports clothes. They just
won't be usual. uniform this
year, and so tailors have to
think and work fast to keep
them different.
Norfolk jackets follow the
natural shape of a mans body.
and that's why they are so
comfortable. There's no pad
ding, no heavy look or feeling
there. They are as natural as
an old sweater, and as easy to
wear.
Authentic details are the
pleats, back and front, which
the belt runs under. Patch
pockets give another sporty
touch, and they are usually
stitched all around, as are the
edges of the collar. lapels, and

Gowns to Wed
At -Four

What under the sun shall I
wear to wedding at four?"
This question came in quite an
harassed voice over the wire
today. It's about the hundredth
such question that has come in
recently. so it's probably time
to give little thought to the
question.
That phrase, under the sun"
is just the trouble, for a we'd
ding at four is apt to be under
the sun, and very decidedly a
daylight affair. That makes
organdie evening gowns, low
necked gowns of any type, and
our usual cool summer dance
frocks quite out of the ques-
ton.
The usual answer is a floWered
chiffon if you have one. Not a
decidedly evening type, but
one that is ankle length or
above, and with sleeves or at
least a generous cape or jacket
arrangement that covers enough
of your arms.
Then there are net dresses
for sale around town that are
ideal. They are of net tucked
all over usually, though they
may be plain, and they are in
dark colors or pastels. They are
street length, have ruffly collar
and cuffs, or some sort of
ruffles about the neckline that
make them look quite dressed
up. You can wear a jacket
with them (most of them have
one to accompany themO or
you can leave it off, according
to the time of afternoon, and

BY WILMA LAVILLE

About five years ago the SUM-
tan vogue hit us with a bang.
We must all be bronzed, thor
oughly, all over and at once.
And so many of us subjected
ourselves to painful days and
nights. to an ugly burn to &C
Complish the feat quickly.
But that is all over. Like so
many extreme fads, it has now
been modified. We merely tan,
never burn, and many of us do
not even tan mildly. You al
most never see a deep burn
these days. Women are much
too smart for that.
But it's as difficult to do the
job we'll as it used to be to do
it quickly. We must work hard
over it, take it slowly. use the
utmost care. And just in the
nick Of time we get an inter
view with an eminent man who
gives us excellent advice, and
easy to follow. Here it is:
ITO tan or not to tan? Since
this is a question of taste and
type, if you do want to acquire
a tan this summer, do the job
intelligently," advises DR.. Walter
H. Eddy, director of Good House
keeping's bureau of foods, sani-
tation and health, who outlines
the following routine for getting
a good SunbroWn instead of sun
burn.
Watch for RedneSs
Repeated measurements" he
says, "show that 20 minutes ex-
posure of the skin when the sun
is hottest will give perceptible
reddening the first day, and
that 10 minutes more of that
time will produce severe burn.
Watch for this rednesS to de-
velop when you take your first
sun bath. AS soon as it appears
cover your skin, and end that
days bath. If, however, you use
the early morning or late after
noon hours for your sun bath.
you can stay out longer without
harm.
Fortunate persons who pos
sass adequate pigment cells will
find, following that period of
redneSS. that these cells will
work to prepare for the next
day. The pigment will spread
over the Redeemed area and
form a screen. But be sure to
watch for the red again the
next day. You will find it a
little longer in appearing. Again
stop the bath when it comes"
Lovely Brown Blanket
BY following this routine for
a week or so, you will acquire a
beautiful blanket of brown.
Then, if you like, you can pro-

step forward
Under the terms Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's plan made
public yesterday, the program
will replace the public works
administration and will pro-
vide permanent machinery
for meeting economic prob
lens.
Board members stated that a per
manent body such as the President
proposes would be OF great benefit
to the country in working out eco
nOmic problems.
Permanent Machine Needed
"We need just such a permanent
machine for relieving the slack IN
industry" said Lew O. EllIngham,
#. Wayne publisher and member
OF the board.
If we are to have a remedy for
our unemployment problems and
II We are TO keep business running
on a steady basis. a program such
as President Roosevelt proposes Is
certainly necessary" he declared.
Otto P. Deluse. chairman Of the
PWA advisory board. stated that he
was heartily in favor of a compre-
hensive public works program to x
tend over a period Of years and to
replace the PWA, which is a tenn
porary body.
Indiana PWA Defended
Defense Of the work accomplished
by the PWA in Indiana was made
by the board members in reply to
the criticism that the program was
faltering in the state.
Mr.. Deluse stated that the pro-
gram was getting under way with
great rapidity and that within sixty
days an additional 1900 men would
be taken from the county relief
rolls and put to work on twenty
eight PWA projects in the state.
we have really Just started on
our program" he said. However.
We already have 1890 men working
in Indiana and we will give jobs
to about the same number in the
next two months when We get into
full swing
Aim to Speed Industry
Mr.. Elingham asserted that the
object Of the PWA was to speed up
industry n the country and that
the state organization vas making
decided progress in that direction.
Industry in Indiana has shown
marked signs of stimulation" he
said. What We must do is to keep
the ball rolling and make longer
strides toward the return of pros
perity."
When actual work begins on the
remaining twenty-eight projects
granted Indiana the public Will have
more of an opportunity to measure
the accomplishment of the state
program. Mr.. Ellingham believes.
He attributes delay in getting the
PWA program into full swing in
Indiana. to red tape in Washington.

projects must be approved by public

TWISTS
FACTS, CHARGES
H. WEIR COOK
Distortion Is Laid to u. S.
Postmaster General by
CITY Officer.

Explanation by Postmaster-G Cen
eral James A. Farley of air mail
contract cancellations is a gross
Misrepresentation and ridiculous dis
tortion of facts, it was charged to-
day by Lieutenant Colonel H. Weir
Cook, Thirty-eighth division staff
officer and national legion aero
nautics director.
The meeting of airline officials,
at which Mr.. Farley says various air
contract s~were apportioned, was no
more unfair than was Mr.. Farley
when he distributed railroad mail
contracts" said Mr.. Cook.
"Of course there are aviation COM
panieS that would bid lower than
those holding the contracts, but if
such companies did get the con-
tracts, heaven help the air mail.
The companies he refers to do
not know how to build the right
kind of planes, and they do. not
know how to fly them. If their bids
were accepted, I am afraid flying
would become extremely hazardous
for passengers.
"a man who has a case against
any group will not be required to
use $500 words to say it," he add
ed. referring to Mr.. Farley's state
ment.
Colonel Cook, who testified last
week before the District Of Colum-
bia grand jury, is we'll acquainted
with the early days Of the air mail
while it was being carried by the
p%ostofice.
It resigned from the air mail
service back in 1920 because OF the
terrible old crates we had to fly, in
which several men were killed, and
because, through politics of the
postofflce department, inexperienced
division superintendent were given
charge" he said.
The same conditions probably
would exist if the p~oStof1ce depart
ment continued to operate the mail
lines. or if some Of these small lines
clamoring for mail contracts got
them.
II wouldn't risk my neck in some
Of the planes they operate.
mr.. Farley's statement makes
my blood boil, in view of the facts,
1t is merely a matter of resortlng
to personalities to cover political
manipulations."

clared. our program may take

the projects Immediately after. he
stated.
More Projects Sought
1T is our wish to obtain as many
public works projects as possible for
Indiana" ne said. we already have
obtained hfty-two major projects,
but We have hopes of getting from
thirty to forty more through the
board at Washington.
we do not want to stop with our
present accomplishments but to
keep things moving and to see a re-
vival of business conditions follow
our public works program"
More than $1,000 900 has been
granted Indiana for PWA construc-
ton work. The approval of further
projects has been held up pending
further appropriations.
$1,000, 900 Appropriated
Additional requests for PWA
grants are filed in the local office
in the federal building and will be
submitted when more money is ap-
propriated to the state.
The board stated that 1872 projects
calling for an expenditure Of more
than s39, 600, 900 had been consid-
cred by the advisory committee in
the past few months.
OF this number, ffty-two projects
were put through and $1,000, 900 ap-
propriated. Some of the projects
we're rejected by the local board
and others by PWA officials in
Washington. The $3.50 tax limita-
ton law proved the greatest STUN
bling block to communities who
wished funds for public works, it
was said.
Eighteen Of the projects now un-
der construction are state highway
jobs. Other projects under way are
the building of sewage disposal
plants, water works, municipal light
plants and bridges.
Three state colleges r to have
new units built with PWA funds
