ing robe. The color combina-
tion is a knockout.
The ensemble worn by
George Combs, former Mem
Der of Congress, arriving at
the Mayflower the other day.
The coat was light gray and
the trousers green-a very
impressive green - one of
those greens that remind you
of spring, budding leaves,
etc. His shirt, too, was of
green and his tie green and
black. Sounds a bit terri
flying, but it really looked
swell.
Gen. William Horton, we
are convinced after profound
study and careful observa-
tion, bases his color cOmbina-
tions on the medal he is wear
ing at that particular mo-
ment. For instance, the rib
bon of the Legion of Honor
calls for red tie, red socks
and red and white handker-
chief.
Glimpsed at the Army and
Navy Club the other day, he
was wearing a medal with a
note of green. His tie, hand
kerchief and socks were all
of the same Shade. Very
swanky.
The very we'll known and
liked Larry Haugen stopped
over in town for a few days
this week, registering at the
Mayflower. We noted his at
tire with particular attention
as Larry is famous for his
wardrobe. He was wearing
a beautifully tailored suit in
dark blue tropical worsted,
double breasted, white shirt
and dark blue polka dot tie.

Mrs. Hurley was lunching

in a ravishing combination to
fashion the ensemble which
Wynne Gibson favors for shop

Clothes Whims S
Of CoI|esians

At Vassar, they are full Of
little tricks. They wear bright
shawls over their heads like
Czechoslovakian i'm m g rants
while going from class to class,
and go in for shorts in warm
weather and ski suits in cold.
They love Tyrolean hats and
wear socks with bare legs till
the first frost and sometimes
all through the winter.
At Wellesley, it appears, II
you are in the know, you wear
ear muffs and no hat in the
winter. Out at the University
of Michigan, girls Unexpectedly
wear hats, gloves and carry
purses to class. At the Uni
versity of Alabama, the latest
fashion is a sort of sock stock
ing with a lastex band to keep
it up.
It is correct, at Radcliffe to
wear white sport shoes IN
winter, a habit acquired from
Harvard. At Smith, the thing
is a string of pearls with your
sweater and a ribbon or bandeau
around the head. Here, as at
Vassar, the uniform is a short
tweed skirt, a sweater, usually
buttoned on backwards, and
flat sport shoes. At Wells, they
wear sailor pants and Slacks
right into class and knitted
baby bonnets on their heads. AT
Syracuse, they go to class in SKI
suits.
For the uninitiated, Harper's
Bazaar translates certain col
lege fashion argot that is local
in application: At Vassar, they
call their girdles "SuSans.
Purdue calls them "squeezerS:
At Iowa State University, soft
crushable hats are lannon's.
At Smith, socks are "footieS."
Sissy clothes" at Florida State
means tea-time dresses, and at
the University of oregon, long
dresses are "droops."

Striped Shirtmaker
Silk Frock

Pert Kelton's blue and white
striped shirtmaker silk. frock
is made interesting by the way
the material is used with hori-
zontal stripes for the large
patch pockets, yoke and belt
on the vertical-striped dress.
Pearl cuff-links at the cuffs of
the long sleeves and a pearl
buckle on the belt are used as
fastenings. Color contrast is
furnished by a summer weight
felt hat band with blue gros-
grain ribbon and red feather
ornament. Blue kid pumps are
worn with the dress and a plia-
BILE wood hand bag bordered
with blue kid and lined with
blue and white striped gingham
complete the ensemble.

At 10 o'clock on the morning of Satur-
day, November gath, a hearing of i'm
portance to every citizen-taxpayer Of the
city Of Brownsville will be held in the city
hall, and if experience of the past holds
true, there will be at the most three or
four local citizens there to participate.
And yet, the matters which will come
up for discussion that Saturday morning
will be talked back and forth throughout
the coming year, perhaps be the basis of
idle rumor, most certainly be exaggerated,
m%isquoted and m~isapplied.
The hearing in question?
None other than one on the proposed
city budget for the current fiscal year.
And this situation is not peculiar to
Brownsville alone. or to Valley cities and
communities alone.
The great American taxpayer and voter
takes an intense interest in the affairs of
his state, his city, his school district, but
he usually takes that interest too late to
do himself any good or to advance an
ideas he may have.
After the budget Of the city Of Browns
vile, as a case in point, has been passed
on and approved by the city commission.
It Is too late for Mr.. Taxpayer to advance
the idea that too much money is being
spent for this and not enough money is
being spent for that.
The time to express ideas about & city's
finances is before the expenditures in
question are approved, not after.
Of late there has been expressed here
In Brownsville a considerable interest in
the financial affairs Of the city of Browns
vile, some constructive criticisms have
been made which show ignorance of the
city's affairs.
In the interest of fair play and in the
interest of furthering the continued prog
ress of the city of Brownsville, we suggest
that those who have expressed an inter-
est these things have their opportunity
on the morning Of Saturday, November
oath.
The budget is on file with the city clerk
for examination by any who may so desire
prior to the date of the actual hearing.

large share of the blame for the coming
Of that conflict
This summary is made by the Foreign
Policy Association. Rises in military ex-
penditures run like this: France, 25.S per
cent; Italy, 26.3 per cent; Great Britain,
48.s per cent; United States 100. 9per cent,
and Japan. 388 per cent.
Germany's expenditures, incidentally,
are below the pre-war mark solely be-
cause Of the Versailles treaty restrictions.
All in all. this makes a dismal outlook.
And our own nation-considering that its
military expenses have nearly tripled-is
hardly in a position to point the finger Of
scorn at any foreign countries, either.

Your Diet Needs Iron
To Strengthen Blood

Editor. Journal Of the American Medical Association.
and Of Hygeia. the Health Magazine
Most OF the iron In your body Is found In the blood.
It Is there as part OF the hemoglobin in the red blood
cells. It's purpose is to help the red blood cells carry
oxygen.
Iron also is found in muscles. liver. spleen. and
kidneys. However. the total amount Of iron in your
body Is not great.
There are various ways in which the blood is badly
affected in relationship to the iron that It contains.
In some cases an insufficient amount OF iron Is being
supplied By the diet to replace the body.
IN other cases, due 70 a large hemorhage. con-
siderable amounts Of iron associated with the red
blood cells may be lost from the body.
Therefore, In cases OF anemia due to bad diet or 90
the loss OF blood through hemorhages. the feeding Of
extra iron in the diet is a useful measure.
1t has been estimated BY various authorities that
anywhere from six to sixteen thousandths Of q gram
Of iron are lost from the body daily. and that there
fore every person ought to take in an extra Is mil
ligrams. or 15-l0O0ths Of a gram. Of iron each day,
to make up the loss and allow something as a factor
Of safety.
Foods vary as to their content Of iron. Lean meat
furnishes considerable iron and II taken once daily
viii help make UP the iron loss.
An egg Yields about 1-10th OF all the iron needed
by the body. Dried fruits are a good source OF iron.
Among the leafy vegetables, parsley contains most
iron, but ii seldom eaten as such.
The green leafy vegetables. such as spinach and leaf
lettuce. contain more iron than celery. cabbage and
head lettuce.
Milk, which has been called the most nearly per-
feet food, contains about / 10 milligrams Of iron In
q pint which is less than 1-1Oth OF all the iron re-
quired by the body daily.
A growing child requires more iron than does an
adult. When children are born. they have a small
reserve store of iron In the body.
This Is gradually used up, however. 50 that children
occasionally develop a form Of nutritionai anemia
which is an indication for the provision Of extra
iron.
A woman who is about to give birth to a child needs
extra iron to take care Of the needs OF the baby, and
the woman also requires extra iron at such times
as she may be undergoing loss Of blood through her
periodic functions.
