Jacket is made with four pockets down
the front. The frock has charm and
novelty. 1t is of white wash crepe,
comparatively simple in cut. The
jacket is a lustrous sateen, the sort
that improves with each washing and
is a Joy to wear, as it feels like moth
ing at all on the back. The very
young designer of all the styles on
this page Is a firm believer in tie
fastenings. Here she uses two sets OF
them to close the jacket-one pair at
the throat and another between the
minor top pockets and the major lower
ones. The idea is liked very much
by her own generation and looked
upon with affectionate indulgence oy
the preceding ones. The little jacket
comes in maize, rose or blue. The
dress is made only In white.

dress at the lower right of the page
The romance of this profoundly femi-
nine trimming is increased through
the medium of pale color and sheer
fabric. A star-shaped pattern fiaunts
its nocturnal outline over the delicate
surface Of a helio-blue matlisse or
gandie and the effect is beautiful and
unreal. The designer, in recognition
of the return of grandeur, has used
brilliantly jeweled buttons in q row
down the front, and on the belt q
similar buckle. This breaking down
Of cut-and.drisd rules, supposedly

covering correct combinations of this
and that, Is one of the refreshing
things about the new clothes. Jewels
are to play an important part in the
trimming of evening gowns, regardless
of the species of fabric.
In the newest collections fine cot
ton and net take their place with poise
beside such elaborate materials as
velvet and brocades. And on all OF
these fabrics jewels are de riguer to
what extent they may be used rests
entirely with the designers inspira-
ton. Trains, too, are seen oftener
than not and many of them trail their
fiuted edges fully yard on the floor.

Youth speaks to us in every captivat-
ing line of the evening dress of cloud
like seersucker organdie, shown on the
figure seated at the lower left. The
fabric is dull as to surface, insuring
slenderness of line. decorative red
buttons, matching red suede belt,
are used to restrain the exuberance
of the outstanding ruffles on the
sleeves. The hip-line, placed at a new
low, gives a fiattering trimness to the
figure and is the starting point for
the bouffant ripples that emphasize
the importance of the skirt with a
train for formal evening wear. Frocks
of this type are Midsummer favorites
for notable house parties, dinner
dances and bridesmaid wear.

America through their pioneering courage and
common sense will solve many agricultural prob
lens.
In the great one-crop sections of the continent.
successive years of no-proft crops have spun new
web of rural philosophy. One of the paradoXlcal
aspects of the agricultural scene during the past
three decades has been the vast quantities of food
sold to farm families in tin cans. Rural districts
have used grOtesque amount of butter substitutes.
Many farmers have sold all their cream butter and
eggs. Country children have suffered from malnu-
triton as well as city youngsters.
Behind this agricultural incongruity lay the same
economic reasoning that loreei-ed industry inro
the backwash current. A big turnover with small
profit per unit was the nations economic philoso-
ply; it applied to clothespins, motorcars and BUSH
els of grain. Inventive genius gave Gargantuan
machine power; agricultural science helped produce
bigger crops and more livestock.
Producers of specialized crops would not bother
with garden OF COW. The result was inevitable
Better machinery improved methods, increased
acreage due to lower priees-all contributed to the
final cloudburst. A graph recently released by the
United States department of agriculture shows thst
as production has gone up during the last decade
food prices have dropped in practically correspond
ing ratio And the lack of farm buying power put
a crimp in the industrial machine
Now word comes from widely scattered points
that farm families are changing their farming

INVITING TROUBLE

1t would seem to The Record that some of the
outsiders have been inviting trouble and now they
are reported to be reaping it.
We refer to the fact that the North Carolina
brand of moonshne has recently been paid many
glowing compliments throughout the oass-blessed
sections of the nation. Indeed certain federal
official is reported to have called into conference
a number of newspaper men and others, in Wash
ington a few days ago, to demonstrate to them
the superiority of mountain moonshine the
inferior concoctons which are being legally mar
keted.
If anything could have been done which
better designed to create eager market foc
woods-distied corn, The Record has not been able
to conceive of it.
Then too, Virginia, proud sister state to the
northeast, has always been bit contemptuous Of
Tar Heel people whose blood was never rated
quite so blue and whose mentality was always
graded below the adolescent stage of development.
But how Virginia aristocrats have Dragged about
Carolina moonshine The way they have smackcd
their lips and sung its praise it is strange that
many outsiders have come to think of this noun
tain dew as the sort of nectar with which the Gel
lars of Olympus were probably stocked.
And now the complaint comes that Virginia au-
thorties don't know they're going to combat Caro-
lima rum-runners who are said to be fastening to
meet the demands of a new clientele whose thirsts
have been enormously whetted by the thought Of
getting hold of a few gallons of ''rare old Caro-
lima corn"
1t is another queer quirk of the imagination 81

Now we have wet nation, and the aluring

A LESSON IN JUSTICE

An Englishman recently wrote letter to the
London Times to commend the London police and
courts for their promptness in dsposing of case
of burglary. His letter-revealing, as it does, a
kind of law enforcement which is regrettably
strange this side of the water-s worth quoting
here:
"The goods were stolen on Saturday morning.
he writes "Ths burglar caught and the goods
recovered Saturday afternoon. On Monday the
burglar was committed by a magistrate to stand
his trial at the Old Bailey. On Tuesday he was
duly tried, convicted and sentenced"
Probably speed of this kind is somewhat excep-
tional, even in England, where quick justice is
proverbial. Nevertheless, the object lesson is too
plain to be missed,
With police and courts that work so fast is it
any wonder that England has less trouble with
'crime waves than we have ?-The San Francisco

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
BY
Ike Walton, Redivivus

Some one Of the cure-all
bureaucrats has suggested that
the government should buy out
all the farmers who are trying
to farm on poor land and force
them to get better land.
Marie Antionette once had a
brilliant scheme like that. When
one of her courtiers told her
that the Paris mob was crying
for bread, she replied
"Why let them eat cake.
The Paris mob cut off her
head.
How much would the govern
ment pay those farmers for their
poor landpoor land? And where
would those "poor devilS'-that's
what the $4,000 year beauty
called them-go? And where IS
the good land" they would buy
with the price of their poor
land?
Maybe it's in the Yazoo delta,
where the mosquitoes, and the
dorkeys, and the alligatOrs make
music by night, and the sun
shines bright by day, and malaria
runs rampant, and the soil is so
rich it takes more work to keep
down the weeds than the crop is
worth, and where, in spite Of two
hundred years Of slave labor and
the cheapest sort of free labor
there are more poor white folks
and run-to-seed aristocrats to
the square mile than anywhere
in America; and more debt and
less progress too.
Maybe its in the Southwest
deserts where you have to pay
for your water, and must not
take a bath without looking at
your bank account, and where
the dust chOkes you, and the sun
burns you, and the cactus pricks
you, and the coyotes howl, and
you must sign Il contract with
all sorts of trusts and combines,
and where you Will think of the

That's a lot to lose. Or find. But

"Our debts were about S250,000,00C,-
600. That meant debtors must part
with about Alt billions worth Of
goods and services to pay off.
THE dollar now is worth $1.40.
That means a decline of CT billions.
We owe only $50 billions in goods
and services now. That's a coed
start and the present policy, with
its successive steps. Will get it
down to $50 billions"
You point out that ne has ac-
counted for only 1G7 CT those zoo
billions. But so many ciphcrS
have used up all tie chalk. The
senator explains he also wag
counting in the change in value OF
bank deposits.
