STYLE

White suits will be more worn than
ever this summer. Beautifully tai
lored white suits in gabardine. flan-
mel and linen now are being worn by
the well dressed women Of Florida
and California.
The printed frock with lace accent
Is something new. One smart frock
being shown is Of printed crepe. a
gray ground with yellow and white
motifs. Delicate detail Is introduced
in rows and rows OF yellow Valen-
ciennes lace edging shallow ruff1es
on the sleeves, and trimming the
bow that has a smart twist.
If you are the possessor OF an old
fur piece that Is still wearable, but
not long enough to be made into a,
regulation fur scarf. why not add a
big bow Of silk or satin and tie your
fur piece around your neck. This
style OF wearing your fur Is also good
with furless suits and coats.
A new color combination to watch
Is beet red and pearl. or Quaker
gray. A striking ensemble shown
was composed of a coat of beet red
corduroy worn over a Quaker gray
silk dress-very effective.

SETTING THE TABLE

The fundamental rules that gov
ern table setting are based on con-
venience, utility and balance. The
rules are the same whether the table
is set for a simple breakfast, quick
luncheon. family dinner or for q
formal party.
Follow these rules: /. Set the
dishes so the table is not crowded in
one spot. no end or side being over
balanced with dishes.
2. All lines Of the table should 90
across or lengthwise Of the table. A
diagonal line attracts attention and
should be avoided. Handles Of dishes.
bread and butter spreaders. oyster
forks. salt and pepper sets, all must
follow this rule. II round doilies are
used the threads should also be plac-
ed parallel to the table edge. not OF
a diagonal. All dishes, linen and
silver should be placed to follow this
rule. or the effect is carelef.
3. Dishes and serving silver should
be placed for hardness. DO not put
a dish OF jelly or pickles 50 for to-
ward the middle Of the table that
no can reach 1t.
4. The silver. china. linen and glass
put in place for one person at the
beginning Of a meal are called "a
cover" Each cover is supposed to
have 20 to "a inches of length and Is
inches for depth. The owe should
not be crowded. yet II must be a
definite unit. This does not permit
sprawling silverware and straying
glasses and plates.
3. Set the table according to the
type OF service that Is 10 be used. III
there is no maid. set the table to
make the service simple and easy.
Avoid unnecessary steps. The serv-
Ice table Is set with silver and dishes
for the courses to follow. This Is
more simple than to go to the kitch-
IN for everything.
8. All silver. china and dishes for a
cover are placed where they are most
convenient. and so that the cover is
a balanced unit.

During the Seventy third Congress
Otter made determined fight in the

against a reduction in the personnel
of the Public Utilities Commission.
Differs interest chiefly Is In the
public schools, the Public Library and

Due to the large Democratic ma
jority in the House, Otter was faced

PAY RESTORATION
Return to January / Status De.
spite Roosevelt Attitude,
Seen in New Bills.

Belief that Government pay would
be restored as of January /, despite
President Roosevelt,s attitude, was
expressed last night In a statement
by the National Federation of Federal
Employees, through Luther c. Steward
president, and Miss Gertrude McNally,
secretary treasurer.
The Federation called attention to
the pay bills that have been intro
duced, and urged passage.
The organization observed some
gains for employees in the fact that the
President does not recommend that
the ban on administrative promotions
and reallocations be continued.
It regrets deeply that the Presi-
dent failed to cover the merit system
question in his message and to declare
his determination to extend and
strengthen the civil service" The
opinion was voiced however that this
will come later.

U. S. ASKS FUNDS

to Save on Costs in New

By the Associated Press.
Evidencing its intention to bring
lower power rates for the Govern
ment as well as for Individuals. one
branch of the Roosevelt administration
yesterday asked another for $780,
600 to construct Federal power plant
in New York City.
The application, drawn by Rear
Admiral L. H. PEBBLES, director Of the
Treasury's Procurement Bureau, was
forwarded by Secretary Morgenthau
to the Public Works Administration
shortly after President Roosevelt. asked
Congress for an additional 10000
900 for the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority. 80.
Rear Admiral r. e. Bakenhus, o
member of President Roosevelt's COM
mittee to study power costs In New
York; Maurice p. Davidson, New York
light, heat and water commissioner.
and Vice Chairman Basil Manly of
the Federal Power Commission, had
conferred earlier about the proposal.
PEBBLES plan provides for Q plant
and distribution system with access
to existing Government power plants
in New York and to the proposed
municipal plant. As projected, it
vcu,d supply only Federal buildings
teiween Forty Second street and the
Eattery, extension to other parts of

tingent upon savings.

WILD LIFE COUNT
URGED BY DARLING
Biological Survey Head Says
-
Game Resource Survey
il Is Necessary;
BY the Associated Press

by the Associated HreSS.
The chief of the Bureau Of Biolog-
ical Survey has proposed a new kind
Of census to count the noses and bills
Of the wild creatures which haunt for
ests, fields and streams of the United
States.
]. N. Ding) Darling, q former
newspaper man, whose sketches and
cartoons have helped the cause of wild
life conservation, has requested pub
lie works funds to conduct such sur
vey through game and fish commits
sions Of the States.
"For years we have been living out
Of the till of the land without leaving
a credit slip to show what we have
TAKEN" he said. 1T Is time to correct
that situation.
1T is hard to believe that no survey
ever has been made to estimate the
wild life population. We have no def
mite figures to show the approximate
size Of any group of our animals. Nor
do we know how many are killed every
year by hunters" he said.
Such a survey. Darling explained,
would show what game we are taking
and what we should take in order to
leave sufficient members for breeding
and replacements."
l. The data obtained would show the
status Of every species of our wild life
and would establish which animals
should have more protection from
hunters. The census, he said, could
be taken in every State within six
months.
