 PARIS, March 6.-Spring hats have joined the forward move ment'.' Half the new ones are de- signed to sound the slogan Eyes fronti' Sometimes the trim scoops well out over the eyes ill poke bon net effect, sometimes the trim is in the front, again the brims which roll upward are pulled well over the forehead But the side tilt still holds.
 Here are some other noteworthy trends in spring headgear:
 The towering toques of winter have given place to flatter hats. with height often given by such effects as two quills raking sky ward.
 Feathers and flowers are much used as trims.
 There are many novelty straws- soft and silky, shiny and reedlike or very rough.
 Black, navy blue and hyacinth blue are outstanding colors.
 Hats Follow Clothes
 These are advance pointers, how ever, for the real chapeau news must wait until dressmakers have done their writing on the fashion wall and the modistss know what spells clothes for the spring of 1855.
 Suzy has launched her beloved sailors in new pulses with a straight three inch brim and beret crown which is shallow, but wider at the top than near the brim. One black model has an eagle feather stick ing straight up and out in front, another two tall black quills rearing up on the side, a third two wings of white ribbon poised squarely in front.
 From Straw to Satin
 Wide brims appear, too, though these are naturally less in evidence early in the season. One of the smartest is made with a brim oi shiny cream reed straw and g crush crown of black felt. i Rose Valois likes toques and tur. bans for advance season wear anc shows them made of everything from a soft crushable silky stray to ribbed white satin. There art white Turkish turbans with roll ed effect about the face finished with an outstanding brush of blacl feathers, stocking cap toques mad of black silky straw and blacl straw toques with two red birds o paradise sweeping upward iron each side.
 A number follow the flower vogu by thrusting a cluster of gardenia in one side to nestle against tn : ear.
 yeils are seen too. Sometimes O .ooues they film the eyes and nos, lQain on sailors they are worn ex tending three inches beyond tn edge of the brim.

 During oral argument of cases he frequently interrupted counsel always deferentially. He never nag ged, browbeat, nor unsuccessful, interferred with their argument At times. some development would cause him to inject comment. Sucl occasions were looked forward t, by his colleagues and court habi tues for choice tidbits of wit anc humor, as well as salient lega discourse. Many instances could b given in illustration, but one vii suffice.

Individual Senators. such as Glass of Virginia on the one hand and Long of Louisiana on the oth- CT, have become increasingly as- sertive on issues about which they disagree with the Chief Executive.
 It is noticeable, too, that several Democrats just reelected, and fac ing no further election contest un- til 1940, are showing an indepen- dence hitherto lacking.
 About the most absorbing politi- cal question discussed around the Capital just now is wrapped up in this situation. No one knows how far the Senate's new assertion of influence will go, but everyone rec ognizes that great potentialities are involved in the answer.

Dict Is FATALLY Defective

NN - aNaAAf DtAtbAAFC
IN healthy rural communities So
cial life revolves about the home,
the school, the church and the
country club. where young and old
find recreation, have healthy social
contact and receive mental and
spiritual uplift. There is nothing
Of this kind for the sharecrOpper
and his family. For them no home,
only a temporary shack, no coun-
try church or school, no legion hut
or club. For them society does not
exist. Life is a humdrum of work
and want.
Most of them live in shacks of two
or three rooms that have none of
the attractions and comforts of
home. Their diet consists, for the
most part. of corn bread, fat meat
and molasses. The diet is fatally
defective in many elements essen
tial to health and vigor, such as
eggs and milk, fruit and vegetables
Their garb often consists of one
patch upon another. Their homes
are almost naked of furniture.
Landlords Will Supreme
The writer knows something of
the life in mines, mills and factories.
in various parts of the United
States. but the Sharecropper is the
poorest paid. fed, clothed and
housed laborer of them all.
Another appalling feature of this
system is the absolute insecurity Of
the sharecropper's family. His con-
tract is only for the cotton season,
which begins in March and ends
when the cotton is harvested. He
has no security of habitation.
Whether good or bad. he stays or
moves at the viii of his landlord
If he is thrifty, has domestic ami
mails, a COW, hogs and chickens; if
he raises a good garden and feeds
his family largely thereby; if he
draws only a small amount from
the commiSSary and gets a good per-
centage of money for his crop, he is
less profitable to the landlord than
the tenant who consumes his crop
in the commiSsary, and he is there
fore more likely to have to move at
the end of the seasn.

The governments readiness i'm
mediately TO initiate an emergency
program TO check the devastating
Gust storms In the middle west and

Colonel Lawrence WeStbrook, dep
uty relief administrator.
In a conference with Governor
ALI M. Landon, Of Kansas. West
brook outlined a plan aimed at
controlling the storms OF swirling
dust BY a system Of strip listing"
or blowing up high earthen barri-
cades at stated intervals in the
fields. These "earthworks" would be
depended upon to protect the re-
mainder Of the soil from the winds
sweep.
STRIP listing would be applied
in widths OF four or five rows at
intervals OF 20 roads except where
moving land" was encountered.
This would have to be entirely
listed"
Paul z. Maris. Of the relief ad-
ministration. has prepared a plan
for financing such a program
throughout the midwest. This
tentatively has been agreed upon
by the FERA and the department
OF agriculture.
The work would be done through
county organizations. with the
Farm Credit administration ad-
vancing loans Of 81 an acre to land
owners not eligible for production
loans and not now under rehabl-
itation plans.
Maris said IL was estimated that
50 cents an acre would be needed
for the listing.
