ments contains a scarlet velvet cap
with rhinestone design and also two
red velvet roses that may be perched
on top of the head that wears lots Of
forehead curls. The white velvet roll
with tiny rhinestone birds, as Sketched,
is unusually beautiful.
EQUALLY fascinating in the eve
ming picture are the thrilling
evening bags in exquisite matelasses
with jewel-studded frames, new bead
ed designs, and both black and white
satin, covered with brilliants. The
bags seem to be more spacious than
formerly, so that they readily hold
everything that you might desire to
put in them.
For the club woman who drives her
own car there is the street size en-
velope purse of metal kid that will
hold her permit and cigarettes in con-
venient pockets, and also pouch bag
little smaller. These have jewel or
rhinestone clasps and are most rea-
sonable at SO, $5 and $3.50. Another
feature of the silver or gold kid purse
is that it exactly matches gold or
silver slippers, or colored velvet Slip
pers with metal kid trim.
One of the handsomest bags is the
Schiaparelli design bag with cabochon
jewel frame as Sketched. 1t comes in
several color combinations, is satin
lined and beautifully fitted.
The Persian brocaded bag is new
with its soft Oriental coloring and
Renaissance clasp, and is most use
full as 1t will blend with many cos
tunes.
A new rhinestone bag on a satin
back with white enamel frame and
silver metal chain is new and has
particular interest because each stone
is embedded In tiny frame without
prongs, which entirely eliminates the
possibility Of catching in chiffon or
other delicate fabrics.
The foot ball bag in gold or silver
matelasse and colored velvet Is first
choice with the girl who does a lot
of dancing, as it hangs easily on her
wrist by strap, and being round and
puffy does not get in the way. These
are smart wherever young people con-
gregate, and priced at SIS.

CHECK Of TAXES
WILL PROVIDE
JOBS IN D. c.
White Collar Persons on
Relief to Be Used on
Treasury Projects

Employment for a limited mum.
ber of Washington's white collar
workers in the Internal Revenue
Department was promised today
by Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau, jr., with an
nouncement that the District is
included among 18 cities of over
100000 population in which work
ers for miscellaneous" tax pro-
jects are to be recruited.
The purpose of the work is to
check up on back taxes and the
jobs will consist chiefly Of door-to-
door canvaSsing.
Applicants for the jobs must be
bonafide residents of the District
and on local relief rolls. The Sec
retary explained the Treasury De.
partment has nothing to do with
selection of the men, but recon-
mendations of relief agencies will
control choice of personel. The
weekly salary is $24, which will be
paid solely from local relief funds.
Approximately 800 white-collar
workers already have been hired
for this work in New York and
Chicago, and employment in
Washington and other cities is ex.
pected to get under way shortly
to bring the total free up to
about 1000.
According to Mr.. Morgenthau a
similar plan was tried out in the
New York area some time ago
with favorable result. He pointed
out that tax recollections directly
traced to activities of these special
agents were "far in excess" of the
amounts expen on their
salaries.

widow spiders warning.
All that day he and Mrs. Null
len, with flashlights, explored
every nook in the house. In the
cellar he found two spider eggs
upon rafter and promptly
crushed them.
Mrs. Mullen since then has
learned about black widow spiders,
how they devour their males, how
their bite may be fatal to hui
man beings.
Tells of Fright
But it wasn't knowledge that
caused her toGstep on the insect.
She said:
81 was so afraid Of it, so
frightened that it might bite
my baby, that could think only
Of stepping on it,"
The spider, Mr.. Mullen believes,
came into the house cellar to
escape the dampness out-of-doorS.
Then it evidently crawled up the
radios ground wire.
The Mullens have plugged all
holes in their floors in the past
two days. They want no repeti.
tion of the incident, even though
they know the spider is not com.
monty found in this vicinity.
And they have a genuine story
of a spider and Miss Muffet to

Senate District Committee ap-
proval Of the reappointment of
Riley E. Elgen as a member of

appeared virtually assured today
as Senator Pat McCarran (D0, of
Nevada, indicated he would with
draw his objection.
The Nevada Senator, who was
the only member of the commit
tee to ask that confirmation be
withheld, made it plain that he
had no specific complaint against
the Commissioner, but only desired
to make inquiry as to Mr.. Elgen's
background.
Senator McCarran said today
that he had made some investi-
cation and that so far as he
could determine Mr.. Elgen will
win his approval. He added,
however, that before he def
nitely committed himself he de-
sires to look a little further into
the candidates fitness for office.
At the same time, the Nevadan
feels that he is laying plans for
his proposal that public utilities
here be placed under public own
ership.
At the next meeting of the
Senate District Committee he will
ask that a subcommittee be ap-
pointed to aid him in investigat-
ing the matter,

Jack Frost Hilarious;

Frost kicked up his heels, rolled

A Washington mothers horror
at seeing a hideous spider so near
her baby girl caused her to step,
in wild fright, upon it and crush
it to death. That was Monday
morning.

She was in her crib near the
radio, awaiting a bottle of milk
which was being prepared by her
mother. Mrs. Mullen entered the
room and went to the radio to
turn it on. Her glance fell to
the floor.
There was the black spider, a
half inch in diameter, crawling
along the radios ground wire. She
screamed and her husband came.
But already Mrs. Mullen, thinking
only Of her baby two feet away,
had stepped upon the spider.

It was cold today. But tomor-

Weather Bureau forecasts.
The mercury dropped to 6 de-
grees above zero early today, coat
ing streets and sidewalks with ice
as the capital dug out after yes
terday's 11-inch snowfall, but to-
morrow morning the temperature
will drop one degree lower, with
S degrees as the coldest weather
of the year to date.
Meanwhile, as ice grew thicker
on ponds and lakes, ice skaters
were sharpening up their blades.
It was expected skating would be
allowed on the Reflecting Pool to-
morrow, as an inch of ice already
Sheathes that body of water.
Skaters Warned
While there was some ice along
the river banks, police urged
skaters to keep off, pointing out
it is extremely dangerous at this
time.
While the Reflecting Pool op.
poSite the Lincoln Memorial was
sheathed with an inch of ice, no
skating will be allowed today.
However, if the cold weather con-
tinues, skating probably will be
permitted tomorrow, park police
said.
Several thousand EVA EN-.
ployes were pressed into service
today clearing the streets of snow.
Traffic in Washington was al.
most at a standstill for hours
yesterday, while in adjoining
Maryland and Virginia. main
highways were barely paSsable
while many side roads were com.
pletely blocked.
Thousands Delayed
Street-car traffic was blocked
at many points by short circuits,
and although schools and Gov.
ernment offices were closed early,
thousands of persons were hours
late reaching their homes.
Checking up on the storm today,
engineers for the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company in
Maryland and Virginia estimated
that damage amounting to $780,
600 had been done.
The Eastern Shore of Maryland
was cut off entirely, and $500
poles were down, 1000 telephones
out of order and 140 long distance
lines were out of commission.
Emergency crews were rushed
to work today, and it was expected
the lines would be opened by to-
morrow.
The telephone company re-
ported no trouble here, but bust
ness was reported 10 per cent
above normal due to persons call
ing friends and relatives TO see
how they were making out during
the storm.
Costs d. C. $4,000
Although the Weather Bureau
had expected the mercury would
drop to low of IA degrees early
today, it went even lower, stand.
ing at six degrees at o'clock.
The storm will cost the Dis
trict at least $4,000 for hiring
men to clear the streets. Several
hundred additional men were also
given jobs by the Capital Transit
Company to keep the street car
tracks clear.
Several minor accidents were
reported by skidding automobiles
during the storm, and with ice
on the pavements this morning,
motorists were warned to use eX-
