 Right now, when the average girl needs a change of scenery, famous cosmetician Is launching q new lipstick. It's perfect to take along on a southern or northern holiday, but regular blues dis pellcr for those who cant go away
 After all, one good way to be pleasant though bored to death with January is to do something about your beauty. A permanent and new coiffure might help. A few professional facials are likely to improve spirits as well as com plcxion. A new cosmetic, particu- larly if it's q vivid and exciting lipstick, Is very apt to make life more Zestfu1.
 The nd-of-the-month lipstick comes in q handsome case that \ simple enough for daytime and ella borate enough to carry in an evening bag. It's made in all the popular shades. including lus- cious scarlet that goes well with the dark winter dresses you still are wearing. In additlon--and this is the real reason for It's pop- ularity-this particular lipsticK stays on much longer than even the most cheerful optimist would expect.
 Dry your lips and apply lavish coat of the new cosmetic. Don touch 1t or moistcn the lips TOT | two or three minutes. Then using a piece of cleansing tissue, run (and 1 mean really rub) off the excess, smoothing down irreguiar edges as you do so. What remains, | xntII hn there hours and hours later.

Requirements Limited,
 FuTS Are Needed
By MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Stan Correspondent NEW YORK.-Regardless of " the boat, your destination and length of time you'll be away, take only sports and evening clothes when you start on any kind of cruise. This is the advice of Sally Dickason, 27 year old travel by-water expert.
 Miss Dickason should know. Eigth years ago she married an educational director of cruises and has been around the world once every year since then. There's not single country she hasn't visit cd
 There simply is no place for town clothes on boat or ashore, unless. of course. you're going to stop over in city for wecks," the pretty black-haired authority in- sisted. "Onc needs plenty of eve ming clothes, but the rest Of the wardrobe must consist of sports things"
 At this point Sally DIckason listed the five greatest wardrobe mistakes woman taking her first cruise Is apt to make.
 "The inexperienced traveller takes an inadequate supply of shoes, and she selects the wrong kind. She should. Of course. take dancing pumps to match formal gowns. sports shoes for the deck and several pairs of sensible walk ing shoes for trips ashore.
 SIGHTSEEING
 IS HARD WORK
 Next to ditch h-digging, sight seeing is the hardest work on earth, and the woman who tries 10 see the remote spots of the world in high -heeled street shoes simply will have painful rather than pleasant memories of historic and romantic placcs.'
 When choosing fabrics the un- taught opper-for-c clothes goes wrong again. Miss Dickason says. She should take lace. chif- fon and uncrusha ble linen evening dresses. knitted sports togs ana hats of linen, bengaline and feIt not straw.
 TO leave your fur coat at home on q Mediterranean cruise IS mistake. If you leave in January (and You shoul6 to go to the Mediterranean, don't take sum mery., pastel costumes. Pack light weight woolen dresses, heavy | coat, dark walking shoes and dark felt hats.
 "The fifth error wastes your ix ,,nnn1f nIIcGt ion l your good taste,' Miss Dlckason went on. There Is no sense m grabbing the first dress that looks cute. Instead, assemble your ward robe 10 make various items do double duty. Why get three light dresses with jackets? Three frocks and one jacket that can be worn with each would be smarter. The heavy coat should be neutral in | color and classic in design to mar monize with everything

 Thinking in terms of budeett, Miss Dickason said that its those who go on short cruises 10 the West Indies and Berm uda "ho .bonld buy clothes that can De worn in town all spring and sum mer, Go aboard in a suit with matching topcoat that will do you proud in the Easter parade.

the proposed Improvement in st.

of a jetty or jetties at the mouth

suggested. The meeting was ar
ranged by the Dover Chamber of
Comerce. After Colonel Lee had

Dover could save on its coal bill if
they could get their coal hauled by

NEW UTILITY
BILL OUTLINED
3 Member Commission to Fix
Rates, Exercise Full Con-
troll is Proposed
JURISDICTION EXTENT

The creation of a Public Service
Comission to regulate the activities
of all public utilities in the State
is provided for in a bill submitted
by Senator VanSant to the COM
mittee on private corporations to
be substituted for his skeleton
measure It provides for a mem
bership of three, appointed by the
Governor for six year terms, not
more than two of one political
party, each entitled to travelling
expenses and compensation of SIS
for every day in session. 1t stipu-
lates that the commission organize
every two years with the election
of a president, and authorizes the
body to name a secretary and fix
his salary and any other employees
deemed necessary. 1t requires a
semi-anual report on utility ser
vice. The bill defines public utility
to include any and all street rail
way, traction railway, pipe line,
gas, eelctric light, heat, power,
water, telephone and telegraph sys-
tenn, plant or equipment for public
use in Delaware or in any of its
political subdivisions. 1t would
give the commission jurisdiction
over every such utility, with pow
er to regulate not only the corpor-
ations as such, but also their les
sees, trustees and receivers ap-
pointed by any court and also over
all of their equipment and proper
ty. The commission would have
the power to fix rates, investigate
all complaints concerning utilities,
and to require utilities to file with
it complete schedules of rates
charged. It prescribes penalties
which the commission can impose
for noncompliance with its orders.

BIG SUM PAID
IN TAXES US. A,
Study Shows That $780,
100000 Is Fifth of Ma
tiOn'S Income
DEBT STILL INCREASES

New York-The taxes paid an
nually in the United States now
amount to 50O.OOO,0OO, or one
fifth of the national income, it was
estimated by the national industrial
conference board in a study of the
cost of government
Federal, state and local gov
ernment expenditures, exclusive of
debt retirements, are about $15.50O,-
100000. In the last four years the
public debt is in excess of S47, ,000.-
100000. In the last four years the
public debt has been increased at
a more rapid rate than at any other
time in history except 1918 and
1919"
Lower Than 1880.
The board pointed out, however,
that collections, despite the numer-
Gus taxes added in recent years to
federal, state and local systems,
are at a lower level now than in
1880 when they amounted TO S10,-
3OOOOO,OO0.
'The enormous decline in the
yield of the federal taxes and prop
erty tax delinquencies were the
principal reasons for the decline
after $780," the board explained.
Federal income taxes declined
from s2,411 100000 in 1880 to $685.
100000 in 1884. OF the total collec-
tions for 1894, estimated at S9,500,-
100000, federal tax collections were
S2.S92, 100000"
The normally large margin be-
tween tax collections and expendi-
lures has been greatly widened by
the federal deficits and now aver
ages about S6,OOO,OOO,OOO, the board
asserted.
''Of this amount" continued its
report, roughly S2,OOO,OOO,OOO is
covered by non-tax receipts, such
as earnings of general departments
and public service enterprises, spe-
cial assessments, fines, rents. and in
terest The balance of about S4.-
000,0OOOOO has been reflected In in
creased Indebtedness.
Debt Increases.
THE depression will have the eff
feet of making governmental ex-
penditures of the future more in
flexible. The debt of the federal
government is approaching and may
soon reach a level twice as high
as in 1880, and state and local debt
also has increased in lesser de-
grees.
debt service requirements are
the most inflexible of all expendi-
lures. Their rigidity, more than
any other factor, detracted from the
effectiveness of retrenchment as a
means of solving state and local
fiscal problems during the depres-
sion. For 1892, the latest year for
which complete data are available,
debt service-interest and retire
all governments COM
bined was equivalent to 16.5 per
cent of gross expenditures and 29.2
per cent of tax collections"
