SMART CLOTHES
SEEN TODAY IN
Ell CENTRO SHOPS

Smart clothes seen in Ell Cen
tro's stores today by The Press
shopper are described below:
Style Shop
With a number of dances in the
near future, interest in formal
gowns is increasing. One of the
smartest of these was seen today
at the Style Shop, a lovely creamy
taffeta in material, high wasted,
almost Empire in effect. Chief in
terest centerS in the back which is
extremely chic. Low cut, with deep
revers flaring away from the sides,
and a shawl collar, the extreme
decolletage is relieved by a band
of taffeta down the center of the
back A large flat bow flares away
from the waist line. Perfect TO be
worn with this gown is a gorgeous
black velvet long evening wrap,
lined in white. Close fitting with
dolman back, this Jat may be
buttcned securely up to the chin
or may be thrown open. Tile
sleeves are long, full, being gath
Polka Dot
One of the most popular and
newest combinations for fall is the
checked coat with plain skirt or
the plain coat with checked or
plaid skirt. Polka Dot is well
equipped with a fine stock of these
coats and one of the smartest is a
blue and white wool check wool
coat. Tailored in cut with fas-
cinating belted back having in
verted pleatS to afford plenty of ac-
ton room, the coat is trimmed with
blue buttons. The pockets repeat
the inverted pleats Of the back.
This coat with we'll cut skirt, a
pretty blouse for warm weather
and a gay sweater for colder
weather, worn with a bright scarf,
would make an ideal outfit for the
first cold fall days. Practical for
sport wear, for street, for school
or business it is ideal for valley
women. All sorts Of combinations
in coats, skirts, etc. are obtainable
at Polka Dot as well as some fine
leather coats.
JOhnsOn's
How many times does the we'll
dressed woman seek that perfect
dress, one which she may wear for
street use and yet is suitable for
formal AFTERNOON parties?
Johnson has the ideal answer
to this demand in handsome
black crepe dress and coat. Worn
with the coat, the dress is a simple,
tailored suit; without, an afternoon
dress. The coat is short, fitted at
the waiStline and has a cape collar
edged in black fur. The dress is
very plain with a graceful skirt
having sufficient number of kick
pleats to give room for action. The
distinguishing features lies in the
short sleeves and collar which are
graceful in line and which have
stitching of silver. Nothing is more
modish than Dlack, and black with
touch of metal is superlatiVe
With the suit are suggested acces-
sorieS in black, a chic hat, gloves,
bag, shoes, and it should be noted
that sheer black hose, the newest
mode, are shown instead of the IA
miliar grays and beiges.

PILES GO QUICK
without Salves or Cutting

Itching, bleeding, protruding
piles are caused by bad circulation
of the blood in the affected parts.
The parts become weak, flabby and
lifeless. Only an internal remedy
can removed the cause-thats why
salves, suppositories and cutting
fail. DR.. Leonhardt's prescription,
HEM -ROID, succeeds because it
removes congestion, restores circu-
lation, heals and strengthens the
diseased parts. HEM-ROID has
given quick, safe and lasting relief
to thousands of Pile sufferers. 1t

had no authority to take the bonds
for building and loan associations.

of human suffering. which wanted all
they could get. They must change

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. February 24-Build-
ing and loan associations, which for
long time were opposed to Home
Loan Corporation bonds, now are
supporting them and investing as a
means of obtaining fresh money"
according to Harry o. Levin. former
State Senator, and attorney for four
associations.
Addressing meeting Of associ-
ations this week, Mr.. Levin said only
two building and loan associations
now were refusing to take the bonds.
With the bonds selling in the
open market at SO and a fraction, !"
Mr. Levin asserted, "the building and
loan associations are seeing that the
bonds will bring in fresh capital and
will make an endless chain of new
money in circulation.
Advantages Cited.
THE associations see that it Is
better to get $93 for a 500 bond
than to have property on their hands
which they cannot dispose of. As
sociations which I represent had to
buy in 200 parcels of property, for
instance, and they have to hold them
having no way to get rid of them"
Mr.. Levin said that statistics fur
nished him by the Maryland Home
Loan Corporation showed the follow

farmers operate only 10.7 per cent of
the farm land in Garrett County.

REPA|R|NCURCED
ASRECOVERY SPUR
Architect Would Spend $100
on Each of 100000
NEGLECTED" Homes.

A ready and efficient means of
speeding general recovery. according
to Arthur B. Heaton of the Washing
ton Chapter, American Institute of
Architects, would be the expenditure
of 500 on each of the 800,0 900 meg
lected' homes of the country.
Mr.. Heaton, who was general chair
man of the Renovize Washington
Campaign last year. advocates a ma
tional "renovize" campaign to put
men back to work and to quicken the
pace of industry. He pointed to the
success of home modernization move
ment here and in other cities.
THE renovize campaign of Phila-
delphia, one of the largest, increased
employment there % per cent, while
employment in other locations went
down." Mr.. Heaton says. The small
campaign in Washington added 81
per cent to repair permits in compari-
son with the same period of the pre-
vious year. And both of these cam
paigns were conducted in very dis
tressing times.
Loan corporations, banks and the
Government are stressing the worth
of this movement, and are urging peo-
pie to put forth every effort to reno
VIE at this time The National Re-
covery Administration strongly rec
ommends the policy, and the Home
Loan Bank act provides for loans for
modernization.
1T is almost inconceivable what
hn xrvsf1 al Il
properties. Most owners do not real
ize that with small expenditure beau
tiful homes can be made from such
structures. This has been brought
before the public in a demonstration
OF the Shanty which was rebuilt on a
public square in downtown Washing
ton. Many thousands went through
this house and marveled at its homi-
ness, yet it was made out of a mere
shell which was much worse than one
would ordinarily have for remodeling.
There are many new devices and
appliances which we can adapt to our
old homes-they can be repaired as to
woodwork; painting should be done at
least every three years to protect from
deterioration; heating and plumbing
should be kept up for economy; and
insulation should be studied for COM
fort, IN both Summer and Winter, as
well as for saving of fuel.
There is widespread agitation over
our blighted areas or slums, and
rightly so. Some of the better ones
should be renovized and others
cleaned out.
IF properties are not kept up, own
ers who hold them for investment lose
income. Property well maintained
brings increased return. Large trust
companies. owning and managing
home and business properties for in
vestment, will testify to the large diff
ference in income between those kept
up to date and those which are not.
Buildings constructed many years ago.
if modernized. are generally well
rented at all times, while many COM
paratively new ones which have been
allowed to fall into disrepair are
poorly rented"
