ANNIVERSARY GIFT

ANN N4A
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Some very good friends Of
mine will celebrate their fiftieth
anniversary next month. Will
you kindly suggest something
suitable and within the reach of
an unemployed business woman?
Perhaps something for 81?
3D."
You might send a dozen roses,
the Talisman roses that have
the golden color that is symbolic
of the fiftieth wedding ami
versary (The short-stemmed va
riety are less expensive). Or a
small white glass vase would
be an appropriate and inexpen-
sive gift. Or a small convenient
sized dish of china or glass or
pottery, for bonbons, nuts. rel
ishes, and the like. Or a dec
orative figurine.
You also can find many types
of boxes, decorative and most
useful. Or a novelty-weave
breakfast or luncheon or tea
set-the peasant colors and
Weaves are especially lovely
nowadays, and not expensive.

like the one in our sketch.
Some sturdy, pre-shrunk ma

a chair that gets hard use. And
bound seams (the easiest kind
to make) give a tailored fin

papers, logically, take a large
part in this mania for color
Designs, though they are many
and good, are secondary to color
Designs are often small or deli
cate in conception. Frequently
they are tinged with silver,
which makes them almost
ethereal. Frequently they are
striped.
Many fabrics are copied from
old designs. So, too, the papers.
There are flowers and berries.
These are endless corbellles.
Some of them realistic, some OF

Taking "The Step"

The Department of Commerce
in Washington, in its survey OF
national affairs, has not over
looked romance.
Cupid has taken his bow and
arrow out of the moth-ball1 and,
according to statistics. appears
to be hitting a good many
youngsters within range-and
some not so young.
With the greater number OF
marriages and births, there is
likewise an increase in the num-
Der of divorces. Let's hope this
severing of the bonds is only a
temporary furry,
People during those lean
years, beginning with l929,
learned to be more patient and
tolerant, instead of flying OF
the handle and going to Reno
at a moments notice.
Hard times seemed to bring
out sterling virtues. In those
terribly lean years we had no
time to look for the crumpled
leaves of matrimony. We were
like people making a short cut
across a railroad trestle. We
had to watch our steps and beat
the train to a safe landing.
The little irritating manner
isms of the man or woman
trudging along beside Us ceased
to irritate. If we could only
carry the lesson Of the depres-
sion into the good times which
seem to be dawning, we'd come
pretty close to sighting the mil
lennium,
The Washington times., 1935-09-09

so means that the exhibits
must be right up to date, and
show the latest developments
of modern activities-too re-
cent to get in a museum. A
number of the exhibits are
naturally of medical interest.
The demonstration of devices
to reduce different kinds of
noises is one of the most i'm
portant of these.
Our modern industrial civil
cation is accompanied by all
sorts of raucous noises, and we
have the most carefully con
trolled experiments to show
that these noises are destruc-
tive to efficiency.
They tend to defeat the very
civilization they create, being
so antagonistic to the smooth
working of the civilized per
sons nervous system.
Not GuesswOrk
This is not guesswork, bu
a conclusion from scientific
studies. DR.. Donald A. Laird,
of the psychological laboratory
of Colgate University, has put
workers to the test, measuring
their efficiency at given tasks
in the presence of different
kinds of noises.
Whenever the noise was loud,
the efficiency of the work went
down, and whenever the noise
stopped, there was a further
increase in output. Not only
that, but a partial reduction of
noise will increase efficiency.
For instance, a drop in loud
ness of S per cent from the
loudness level of 10 reduces
missed production by 3 per
cent.
This is the answer to the
belief that some work places
are too noisy to benefit APP
probably by reducing their
noise, since they cannot be
made acoustically quiet"
In my travels this spring I
have been interested and have
reported in this column the
result of the anti-noise cam
paigns in various cities. Prob
ably the most astonishing re-
suit was in the once hideously
noisy city of London.
Hours of Quiet
The English minister Of trans
port, Hon. Leslie Hore-Belisha,
has enforced a ruling against
mobOr horns between 1880 at
night and in the morning,
and fine of $40 for anybody
using his motor horn in the
streets during these hours is
rigidly imposed and collected.
The substitute for the horn is
to flash the headlights once or
twice on approaching a street
intersection. The same thing
has been adopted in most cities
in Italy.
The headlight signal at the
corner is very effective, even
more so than a horn. because
the approaching driver may be
deaf, but certainly if he is
driving a motor car, he is not
blind,

Rugs Harmonic

For rugs, the color is set by
the other colors in your room'
50 this years color range is
closely coordinated with the
radical changes which have been
affected in fabrics. The browns
are clearer, the pastels more
subtle and the wine shades are
in their element. These, the
warm and rich Burgundy colors,
always strong, are now still
stronger. Blue ranges from
natter to aqua, from French to
horizon, and even through to
royal and twilight blues. they
are all equal sharers in the glory
of the blues for rugs.

For curtains, Burgundy, an
other of the years great colors,
is especially smart. You will
find it leaning toward fuchsia,
warm wine, aubergine. But it
must be rich and regal.
For upholstery prepare to use
brown in a new tone. For choco-
late gives way to this clearer
brown. 1t has none of the red
of cinnamon. It's a cooler color.

mothers day, but invariably
she will grow tired of the ex'
pertinent and go back to the
latest style bob.
AS in any custom. there will
always be some girls who will
prefer to be a little different
and wear long hair.
There are very clever designs
for long hair for the debutante
who is trying to find her indi-
vidual style. or for the matron,
who will not have short hair.
A point that is not studied
carefully enough in our own
hair arrangement is the back of
the neck. Whenever we hear
the expression, "she is so we'll
groomed," always picture neat
trim neck line, not necessarily
a severe line, but a very orderly
one.
There is surely an appeal
about a soft, lovely wave or
braid at the neck line, but never
wear a low style hair dress if
the neck is short.

ing statement that every wo-

by bobbed hair, no matter at

There are so many varieties

TRADE INSURANCE
URGED BY SMITH
Senator Sees Roosevelt on Plan
for U. S. to Assume Part
of Risks.

Government assumption of some
part of foreign trade risks. through re-
enactment of the war risk insurance
law. to speed up import-export bust
ness was urged on President Roosevelt
yesterday by Senator Smith, Demo-
crat. of South Carolina.
This will be method where indi-
viduals in different countries can deal
directly with each other without re-
gard for the exchange situation OF
their governments" Smith said.
Instead of using the usual foreign
exchange draft. which now is traded
in at the rate of exchange Of the
country in which it was issued, Smith
would have foreign trade conducted
through the medium of notes payable
at the United States currency rate
and discounted by banks with the
understanding that the credit risk will
be shouldered by U. S. insurance COM
panies, aided by the Federal Govern
ment.
Smith said he had no legislation
ready to effect this. He added he was
waiting until the President discussed
1t further with other advisers.

D. c. CRIMINAL BILL
PASSAGE IS URGED
Commissioners Want Great
er Penalty for Habitat
Offenders.

Congress was urged today by the
Commissioners to enact the so-called
~habitual criminal bill, which would
greatly increase prison sentence, for
conviction of second or third onense
of felony.
In a letter to Chairman Norton OF
the House District Committee, the
Commissioners declared they believed
the measure is sound and practicable
and enactment would have a tend
ency to decrease crime In the Dis
trict."
Drafted by Prettyman.
The bill previously had been intro
duced at the request of Corporation
Counsel Prettyman, who drafted 1t
as an outgrowth of investigation OF
crime and law enforcement by q
committee of the House District Com
inittee, headed by Representative Ran
dolph of West Virginia.
Upon a second conviction OF any
felony the guilty party would be
sentenced to Imprisonment for the
full term provided by law for the
crime at the time of the first con-
viction. In the case OF a third
offense the guilty party would be
sentenced to not less than IS years.
Under the proposed act fines could
not be paid in lieu Of Jail sentence.
Punishment Increase.
The measure provides for considera-
bly, greater punishment for repeated
offenses than does the present statute
relating to second offenses. This calls
for punishment for second offense OF
a fine not in excess of so per cent
greater and Imprisonment for period
not more than one-half longer thar
the maximum fine and Imprisonment
for the first offenSe.

What's your idea, General?"-
such words were constantly on her
lips, so the Baronne du Montet
tells us. And such was the vanity
of this dandy with the bandaged
forehead, a one-eyed Don Juan
who in earlier days had run away
with a married woman, Therese

In the encourage of the eX-Em-
press, Napoleon'S name was taboo.
The French staff had been dis
banded, and replaced by German
servants. The past was dead, its
memory buried in oblivion. In the
heart of Marie Louise we can de-
tect no trace of that generous
compassion which is a womans
appanage, and might we'll have

No, not a trace of it.
In the prison-house of Saint
Helena, to the anguish that cap
tivity must have meant for one
who in his time was master OF the
world, was to be added now the
cruelest of griefs that can befall
a husband and a father; lone
illness of heart.
