Pink Rates Coolest Shade
and Looks Most Expensive

Pink, fashions favorite color this
summer, is the coolest-looking and,
incidentally, the most expensive ap-
pearing shade you possibly can wear.
There are pink linen and shantung
suits for town and country, handsome
pink sweaters 10 wear with white
skirts when you weekend out of town
and glamorous evening gowns in vari-
Gus tones Of this lovely shade. One
particularly nice evening gown is
fashioned from double layers of pink
chiffon and is worn under a biIlowing
wrap of matching material.

THE TAX PROGRAM
By WILLIAM E. BORAH
u. s. Senator frnm Idaho

1T IS absurd TO call the Presi-
L dents tax program a share
the-wealth program. 1t is, in fact,
nothing more than a share-the-burden-
of-goyernment program. 1t is not only
sound economically but is sound In
morals to take care of our vast ex-
penditures TO larger degree through
heavier taxes. II the taxes are wisely
laid, such program will be more con-
ducive TO recovery than the reckless
voting of bonds and the increase Of
the interest burden.

DANGER OF HASTE
BY CARL W. ACKERMAN

By CARL W. ACkERMAN
Dean of Columbia Journalism School
WHILE the NRA is now
w largely historical, the exam
pie of what could be accomplished
by the mobilization of emotion, hys-
terra, fear, hatred and revenge faces
US still today. Taking advantage Of
the overwhelming sentiment of the
American people for better social con-
ditions, those whose object is a new
social order based on governmental
control tell US that we must make
haste or all will be lost.
That is not true. All will be lost II
we make haste. Haste precipitated the
World war. Haste made communism,
fascism and nazism possible in Russia,
Italy and Germany.
1t makes every emergency acute be-
cause ii chokes opinion, reason, justice
and faith.

XHTOOLENS TO suit"
w the smart woman - I'd
this fall are that fasci-
mating We are not GO
ing TO be able TO resist them and you
wouldn't if you could after once glimps-
ing them. From every inch Of their
woof and their warp the wOolens
brought out this season radiate a
beauty Of coloring. of texture, Of novel
" In patterning and weave which is
simply taking the world Of fashion by
storm.
Seeing that the American mills and
the mills abroad are giving Us the
most amazing, the most beautiful wool
ems fancy can picture, it is TO rejoice
that the English habit Of wearing
sportsy or tailored costumes for all
daytime occasions in contrast TO most
resplendent and glorious formal fash
ions for evening has spread TO America.
Now that the smart thing TO do this
fall is to go very colorfully and hand
sOmeIy tailored in the daytime, il is
safe TO predict that dresses, suits,
swagger costumes together with three
piece ensembles made Of stunning
woolens will predominant by a large
majority in the wardrobe Of every fash
ion-wise woman.
One Of the most dramatic gestures
which has 10 do with this sweeping
vogue for grand woOlens is the cos
tune which goes fifty-ffty gorgeous
cloth and high-colored suede. That is
70 say, skirt Of rich wooden is topped
with a jacket or sweater of suede or
leather which carries the key color of
the plaid or striped material. To eli
max the scheme Of design, the newest
thing is the blouse which is knitted of
the identical yarn in which the wool
material is woven. Thus perfect col
or harmony is achieved.
Another thing likable about the new
woolens is that they are so delight
fully soft and caressing TO the touch,
and give ear TO this bit of good news
they are so woven in combination OF
yarns, they do not wrinkle.

THE RECKONING
By LEWIS w. DOUGLAS
Former Director of the Budget

AHEN that day arrives, re-
w gardless of what the inter
ventions may be, whether an ap-
parent recovery or a slow process of
disintegration, the terrific impetus of
the economic forces created by an In
solvent Federal Reserve system, a
bankrupt banking system, a destroyed
middle class and no credit with which
the unemployed may be relieved, it is
difficult to conceive the method by
which we may escape from the des-
potism of a dictatorship.

Even trains-dress trains-can't es-
cape the mode for drapery.
Black and navy blue woods are used
for long coats TO be worn over differ
ent dresses.
Leather leaves are a new fastening
which gives some OF the latest models
tremendous chic.
Wrist watches have become so
small that you almost need binoculars

HURRICANE REPORT
CALLED WHITEWASH
Van Zandt Accuses Officials of
Gross Negligence in
Failure to Act.

Charging the official report of the
Florida hurricane was a "whitewash,"
and accusing officials Of gross neg
ligence" in failing to heed storm
warnings, James E. Van Zandt, COM
mander in chief of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars, has called on Presi-
dent Roosevelt to ignore the report
and punish those responsible for the
death of veterans in the storm-swept
area.
Nobody will be fooled by the
'whitewash' report covering up the
offcial negligence that brought death
to all of those who had served their
country in time of war" Van zandt
says.
The report states that the catas-
trophe was due to an act of God.
If officials had needed the storm
