that she has made a haplt OF
getting her own breakfast ready,
arranging it all on one of the delight
full trays made especially for the pur-
pose-and popping back in bed to eat
while she reads her morning paper!
She Stoutly maintains that although
it means she must get up little
earlier, the next time is more than
compensated for by the feeling OF
luxury and well-being that pervades
her during this peaceful moment.
A well-appointed breakfast tray is
really a necessity in any household,
for although you may not care to
follow my friends example on week
days, Sunday mornings give you ample
opportunity to indulge. Also, In event
of illness, or even of leisurely-minded
guests, such a tray and breakfast set
as those shown in the accompanying
picture would prove invaluable.

MOST of the sets in the shops come
4'A with a far greater number of
pieces than seems necessary. Occa-
sionally, however, you will find a
hearty breakfaSter. even in bed, and
then the rest of the set will be called
into play; it is nice to have enough
matching articles so that substitution
of other dishes is not called for.
AS a general rule, you will need on
the tray a small fruit juice glass. a
bowl for either fruit or cereal, COW
cred platter for toast or eggs, an egg
cup, coffee pot, cream pitcher and
sugar bowl. and, of course, the coffee
cup and saucer. You may like to add
another smaller pot, for either hot
milk or hot water, and there are
number of small plates in various
sizes to suit your particular needs
Salt and pepper shakers in some
bright and amusing design. the re-
quired silver, and tiny vase with
a flower or two in it would complete
very delightful morning picture
The linen for the breakfast tray
is another item to be carefully con-
sidered. Usually you may purchase
tray set consisting of a small cloth
and two napkins to match-very prac-
tical and pretty, except for the fact

A LWAYS in fashion, but with
~ few new tricks, this type of
~ dress returns each year as
4 \ comfortable, wearable, prac-
tical and easy to make as
always.
The white accent is important
almost a necessity, in fact-for Sum-
mer Here 1t is used with an extra
special flourish in the dashing collar
and the coronet cuffs.
Like most of the other house dresses
recommended by us. this one has the
common-sense advantages Of set-in
sleeves, darts over the bust line. q
well-cut back and a panel front with
plenty of reserve fullness at the hem
line. The collar is becomingly cut.
narrow at the back and shapely in
front. The neck is made low and the
sleeves short in anticipation of Sum-
mer.
Many different wash materials sug-
gest themselves for this design, but
none do we recommend more highly
than a pretty percale. The most
pleasing designs, this season, are the
tie motifs in neat arrangements Of
shapes and styles. These come in
soft, delicate or strong colors. Dresses
made of each should be in every
housewives wardrobe. since light COL
ors are too perishable for every type
of work, and dark ones too sturdy
for after-lunch wear.
A word must be said for the new
seersuckers; the lovely, crinkly, col
orful ones that bring modiShness
into the early morning picture. Often
the patterns are checked and plaided,
unless they are bold stripes in vivid
colors.

The Old Gardener Says {:

A cold-frame will add two or
three weeks to the growing sea-
son, but that is enough to greatly
increase the number of early
plants which may be grown.
There are many ANIMALS, which
If started in the open ground, will
not bloom until Fall, but will be
at the height of their beauty in
Midsummer if started in a cold
frame in April. AS matter of
fact, there are some ANIMALS
which cannot be started salts
factorily in the open ground be-
cause they are slow to germinate
or for some other reason demand
a little coddling. Salpiglossis,
which is extremely beautiful
when cut, seldom proves a sue
cess if started outside, and the
late Towering cosmos is pretty
certain to be caught by the frost

Gay Effect
Paper and Paint Put
Brightness Into the
Atmosphere.
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.
CLOSET backgrounds are becoming
increasingly attractive as they
gain in decorative attention. No
longer is it considered quite right for
them to be left with the white plaster
finish if the interior is conspicuously
visible when the door is thrown open,
although in the case of clothes closets
the white may remain if it lightens
the interior. In many instances these
closet side walls are bright with color
For dining room and kitchenette clos
cts these finishes are the last word in
decoration.
Dining room cupboards on the
Dutch and Colonial types are in high
favor, and these are objects of espe-
cial attention in the vogue of fancy
backgrounds. Wall paper is favorite
medium of decoration, the kind OF
paper which is gay with birds and
blossoms, landscapes and pictorial de-
signs. The background of the paper
generally is rich in tone, bright blues,
intense reds, deep yellows being es-
teemed. Against such colors the
beauty of other bright hues in cor
responding color values carry out the
designs effectively.
The papers must have strength as
well as beauty. No merely pretty or
dainty paper is pleasing for this pur-
pose. The colors must harmonic well
with the color scheme Of a room or
match it in the main. Also the con-
tents of the closet shelves have to be
considered. For instance, for peasant
wares red would be in keeping, while
if the china was decorated in pink
the color would kill the beauty of the
ware. Pewter and brass are congenial
to these decorative paper backgrounds.
With certain papers, silver and glass
show to advantage, although there is
a peasant aspect to these walls which
accords better with metals of lesser
value than silver.
Painted walls make. good side wall
finishes for dining room and kitchen
closets. The colorS used are not tints
but stronger tones, not dark but gay.
Green and yellow are two colors
against which most decorated china
whatever its hues, can be seen advan-
tageously Blue Is very pleasing with
some old-fashioned wares and Chi
nese red is just the thing with some
decorations and some chinaware.
Any homemaker can paint the walls
as there is not apt to be much wall
space. Shelves are white, cream, or
natural wood. The paper used is cost
ly but since very little is needed the
actual outlay would not be great. In
the average closet, matching paper
would not be necessary, which sim
plifies the work for the home deco
rator.

French COTTAGE Cheese

French people make cheese from
SOUR milk without heating it. They
pour the milk into earthen molds
which have holes in the bottom. A
very fine sieve may be used instead OF
the molds. The whey drips out and
the curd assumes custard-like con-
sistency and takes the shape OF the
mold. When sufficiently stiff the
cheese is chilled and is eaten with
sweet cream and sugar. 1t is staple
dessert In many French families,
especially in hot weather, and is de-
licious served with acid fruit, such as
currants, or with Strawberries.

EAR MISS DIX-My daugh-
ter Is soon to be married and
her father and I want her
- to start out alone in her own
home. Her fance is at the
present time assisting financially in
his home because his fathers salary
has been reduced. In his home there
are his mother, father and younger
brother. His mother feels that he
ought to continue to contribute to
the home and live with her after they
are married. My daughter does not
have to live there. Her father has
told her he will assist them so that
they can have their own place and
that would enable the young man to
continue to help his people Do you
think that this young couple should
start their married life with the
groom's people?
A WORRIED MOTHER.
Answer think that the greatest
mistake any young couple can pos
sibly make is to 60 to live with either
the brides or the bridegroom's parents
when they get married. 1t is simply
jeopardizing their whole future lives.
Years and years after marriage, when
they have adjusted themselves to each
other, and acquired the art of living
together, they might risk it-although
1t Is always fraught with danger-but
1t is a hazard that should never be
taken at the beginning of marriage.
MO MATTER how much the newly
weds love each other, no matter
what fine and noble characters they
are, the early days of marriage are
bound to be full of diSappointments
and disillusion. They are going tc
find out that each has many faults
and peculiarities that they never
dreamed were concealed about their
persons. SelfishneSs is bound to clash
against selfiShness. Habits conflict
with habits. Both are bound to chafe
at the restriction of liberties they
never valued until they lost them
And they should be alone when they
make these discoveries and fight their
inevitable battle for supremacy. There
should be nobody sitting on the side
lines cheering them on and bidding
them to stick up for their rights.
Many and many quarrel that has
ended in the divorce court would
have ended in tears on the brides
side and kisses on the bridegroom's if
only they had been by themselves

To remove water spots from

himself straight from the shoulder, outlines our

NORTH CARoLINA'S MOST DISTIN,
GUISHED EDITOR is DEAD

Thousands of citizens of the mountain
country of North Carolina are sorrOWlng
today because of the death of Wade Hamp-
ton Harris, for more than fifty years con-
nected with The Charlotte Observer and
editor in chief of that newspaper since
1912. He was II years Of age and had
been engaged in the newspaper business;
since his boyhood days. He passed away
at his home in Charlotte at 1:30 this morn
ing, where he had been desperately i'll for
several months.
In no section of the State will the death
of Wade Harris cause more sincere sorrow
than in Western North Carolina. The peo-
pie of this section estimated the character
and services of this distinguished Caro-
linian at his true worth. They recognized
in him a true and patriotic son of the State.
His love for the mountain country and
friendship for the people of this section
were often and warmly expressed, verbal
" and in the columns of The Charlotte OBJ
server.
A noble friend of Western North Caro-
lima and its people is dead.

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
GROWING ARMY OF FEDERAL employees


A boom hits Government-165,O 900 added tc
the Federal payroll.
Uncle Sam, shouldering new and expanding jobs,
has increased his force by one-thrd in 20 months.
Never in peacetime has it been so large.
Today about 100000 civil employees draw gov
ernnlent checks. And still the trend of employment
continues upward. More thousands of jobs, run
ming pension systems regulating utilities, control
ling potatoes, performing other tasks, wrapped
up in laws left behind by congress.
The Los Angeles Coliseum is shown, filled to
capacity with 1OO,GO persons.
About five and one-half of those stadia would
have been needed back in March, 1888, to hold the
employees of the Federal government.
A lapse of 20 months occurred.
Once more the Los Angeles Coliseum is shown
BY August l. 1885, not five and one-haf, but seven
and one-third stadia of that size would have been
needed to hold the federal employees.
The added 165, 900 are running AAA, clingng tc
NRA, working for RFC, iva, FERA, PWA, FCA,
HOLE FACA WPA and the expanding group of
other government alphabetical agencies.
Those new workers carrying government to
the far of the land giving every family and
every individual an acquaintance with Uncle Sam.
Included are only civil employees.
Not included is personnel of the army or navy
which also is being increased by about $4,000.
Likewise, not included are the hundreds of thou
sands in CCC camps, or the 100000 who will be
working for the federal government on relief jobs
or the 5000, 900 farmers who receiving drafts
on the treasury or the thousands of veterans
drawing pensions.
Mr. Roosevelt in 1888 started out to curtail fed
eral activities.
He had congress cut salaries of federal workers
Is per cent. Pensions were reduced. Payrolls were
slashed by firing thousands upon thousands of fed
cral workers.
Then new agencies to deal with depression prob
lens started to spring into being. The federal es
tablishment then began mushroom growth that
continues.
IVA started with few hundred employees, grew
to thousands. NRA went from scratch to 5000
employees in brief life. AAA bettered that record
several times over. Hole had workers in
March, 1888, and went to more than 10000. So it
was down the line.
Every month in the past 20, on an average, has
seen about $500 new workers added to the federal
ranks.
Pay cuts, once Is per cent have been eliminated
and federal employees much they did in
1929. Salary increases have started again.-United

CAN MUSsoLINI TURN BACK?

Even in the face of united Europe, can
Mussolini turn back from his policy of eX-
pansion in Ethiopia? Hard concrete facts,
regardless of their merit, would seem to
indicate that such course is impossible.
The area of Italy is about 10000 square
miles, less than half the size of Texas and
about the size of New Mexico. In 1881 the
population occupying this area was A.
220, 434. Thus the density was about 345
people per square mile. From 1927 to 1881
births in Italy exceeded deaths between
100000 and 100000 annually.
Italy is not a rich agricultural country.
The rainfall is chiefly in the autumn and
winter and this results in a material linn
tation of the kind of crops which can be
grown and the yield of such crops. The
country is rough and much of the agricul-
ture is carried on under conditions which
the average American would consider inn
possible. The territory must be worked
largely by hand.
The condition is reflected in a quotation
pUrportedly coming from II Duce himself
''itsiy each year produces an excess of
100000 men who must in one fashion OF
another emigrate." Again he said on an
other occasion: Italy must expand or she
will explode" -,
MussOlni cannot turn back. He is def
nitely committed to a policy of territorial
expansion. Expansion is essential to the
life of the nation. For long time Masso-
lini has realized the true condition. His
decision to acquire Ethiopia as an area fot
population expansion is not one of the mo-
ment. The lurking idea of conquest and
expansion is the only one that will recon
cile his campaign for increased births with
his statement previously quoted.
For him the situation is acute. Faced
with an ever increasing population and
nothing for them to do he cannot turr
back. Strong as is his position at home al
the present moment, in the face of this
situation, it must sooner or later become
impossible. He must press on, even in the
face of united Europe.
1t is this danger that he must face. He
must also face the danger of the loss Of
support at home in the event, however un
