Renaissance Effect

There's wonderful variety in
the satins available. There is
everything from a collar with
a huge swirl Of satin, much like
q rose, arranged in jabot effect
to page-boy collars direct from
the Renaissance, and braided
satins in military effect. And OF
course there are sets, with cuffs
or bib.
Moire and crepe are close Sec
onds, made much the same
way. But in addition colored
crepe makes scarf and belt sets
that will set off a dress mar
velously, and that offer great
variety in your wardrobe. You
can get bright greens, blues,
rust, wine, and so on, some
with edging of gold or other
novelty, some plain. They're
good for sports costumes, too.

But he never tells me that I am

This makes me very unhappy,
and very often I have considered
leaving him.

1t strikes me, my dear Maybe,
that you have a good deal more

band. And if he doesn't tell
you you're attractive, it is prob
ably because of your lack of ap-

ally in superior vitality. The
person who has so much energy
that it exudes out all over him
energy of the body, of the in
tellect, of the souls the person
who fundamentally has cit"
Perhaps nothing contributes
more to give the impression of
this superior vitality than good
posture.
Proper Balance
Perhaps we remember people
more on account of their grace
full carriage, effortless walk,
easy assumption of different
sitting, playing games
than we do beauty of face,
skin, hands, or figure.
Certainly he who has a good
posture and a good walking car
riage should have vitality be-
cause poor posture necessarily
drains energy and brings on
fatigue.
The head should rest in good
balance on the top of the spine.
When it does not, the improper
balance is supported by the
neck muscles, and the muscu-
lar strain involved produces
fatigue more rapidly than in
the well balanced posture. The
same analogy applies to the
position of the spine, which
should fit squarely into the
sacrum, that bone which is. in
shape and in function, the key
stone of the bony ring of the
hips-the pelvis.
Nearly all spines rest some
what unbalanced on the sacrum,
so that about 95 per cent of us
have slight curve in the lower
or lumbar region of the spine.
In most cases this does not
involve any strain, but when &C.
centuated it may bring on a
number of symptoms associated
with fatigue, malnutrition, con-
stipation, loss of appetite, and
a sense Of mental depression.
Distributes Weight
How can we improve our
standing posture? We can at
tain a good standing posture by
throwing our shoulders back
and rotating the palms of the
hands out. Just take that posi-
ton, allow your arms to hang,
and rotate your hands so the
palms are forward. You inStinc-
lively expand your chest and
want to take a deep breath. The
two feet should be parallel, dis
tributing the weight of the body
equally on the balls Of both feet.
A soldier at attention has a
good posture so long as he does
not keep his muscles strained. A
plumb line dropped from the
lobe Of the ear Of a person in
good posture should pass
through the line Of the shoulder,
hip, knee and ankle.

If your ambition in life is to
have a lasting and successful

be a bore ten years later, and

''Program of Social Suicide"
Seen in School Fund Cut
Representative Otter Cannot Reconcile
Character Building Refusal With Ad-
ministration's Social Security Policy.

Refusal of the House Subcommittee
on District Appropriations to include
an item of ss7.54O for character edu-
cation in the public schools was
branded today by Representative Dit
ter. Republican. Of Pennsylvania as "a
program Of social suicide"
Otter, ranking minority member of
the subcommittee. served notice on his
conferees that he intends to fight for
the adoption Of an amendment restor-
ing this sum to the schools. The
eliminated item should be restored,
Otter said. "in the hope that the
school system in the District of Co.
lumbia may provide model for other
school systems Of the country"

the character education experiment
this year would call for approximately

for this purpose and to disrupt the
organization which has been built up
by the superintendent of schools in
this commendable program. No one

PAY RESTORATION
HEARING DELAYED
Meeting Of Subcommittee on
Deficiencies Expected With
in Few Days.

The hearing set for today on the
McCarran Government pay restora-
ton bill before the Subcommittee on
DEFICIENCIES of the Senate Appropria-
tions Committee had to be post
poned, but is expected to be held with
in a few days. Several subcommittee
members could not be present today.
The pay bill, which seeks to restore
the remaining per cent of the cut
as of January l, was transferred to
the Appropriations Committee several
days ago after the Civil Service Com
mittee decided it lacked jurisdiction.
Senator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia,
chairman of the appropriations group,
notified Senator McCarran, Democrat
of Nevada late yesterday he would be
given a hearing by the Subcommittee
on Deficiencies.
Believing that present living costs
justify an immediate return to the
basic salary schedule throughout the
Government service. Senator McCar-
ran will make determined effort to
have his measure approved.
The Subcommittee on Deficiencies
has before it joint resolution already
passed by the House to provide sew
eral independent Government COM
missions with additional funds needed
for the remainder of the current fiscal
year. Since the pay bill also involved
an expenditure to be made during
the remainder of the current fiscal
year, Senator McCarran believes it
would be appropriate as an amend
ment to this deficiency resolution.
McCarran yesterday introduced a
revised draft of the pay bill, having
the same effect of his earlier measure.
This also was sent to the Appropria-
tions Committee and probably will
be offered in place of the original bill

ROOSEVELT ASKS
STATE FOREST AID
Writes to Oklahoma Gov.

ton in New Program.
BY the Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY, January 18.-
President Roosevelt, in letter to Gov.
E. w. Marland, has asked co-opera-
ton of Oklahoma in a reforestation
program as part Of the national re-
covery plans. Marland said he would
work along the lines the President
suggested.
Some Of the provisions of the lum-
ber code cannot be carried out effect
lively without Federal and State legis-
lation," the President wrote, "in the
matter of protecting the forests
against fire. insects and disease. ad-
justment of forest taxation, taking
over tax delinquent forest land for
State or other public forests, other
suitable measures to increase public
ownership, and encouragement of bet
ter management Of private forests.
II intend to submit to Congress rec
concentrations for legislation looking
toward this end, so far as 1t comes
within the scope of Federal action.
There are, however, several meas
ures that come within the jurisdic-
ton Of the individual States. Among
these are measures dealing with tax
alton of forests, tax delinquency, for
est fire laws, cooperation between the
State forest agencies and forest own
ers in developing and maintaining
permanent local forest industries and
communities and other measures deal
ing with police power Of the State"
Marland said his Flood Control
Committee would handle the plans.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Reports of Ickes' Wire.
tapping on Farley
Held Baseless.
BY PAUL MALLON.

Too many negatives eventually
make you positive. For instance,
there is the present predicament of
the abused Mr.. Ickes, Secretary of
Interior.
You can ascertain rather definitely
that Mr.. Ickes did not have his under
cover man, Mr.. CLAWS, tap the tele-
phone wire of a fellow cabinet officer,
Postmaster General Farley. Nor did
, Mrs Roosevelt become aroused at any
Snooping by the same Ickes' agent
around the Reedville homesteading
project.
The First Lady did not inspire
the presidential secretary, Louis
HoUe, to tell Mr.. Ickes that he
would haze to get rid OF his right
hand man, Mr.. BurleU, as ,UeH as
Mr.. Glapis. Nor does the President
himself know anything about that.
These denialS have been widely cir
culated, except, perhaps, the one about
tapping Mr. Farley's wire. What hap.
pened was that Mr. Ickes denied at q
press conference recently that there
had been any wire tapping. The
name of Postmaster General Farley
was not mentioned. There really was
no need to mention it. The er-
roneouS story was all over town.
Busy in High Places.
If two negatives make an afirma-
tive, as most grammarians insist.
these numerous denials. with which
Mr.. Ickes row is virtually surrounded,
certainly indicate that he and Mr.
CLAWS have been very busy in very
high places.

and unscientific methods. I cannot

ment of character building.
The fallacy Of the doctrine of re-
trenchment in our public school sys-
TEN becameS more evident as one
contemplates the imperative demands

tainty Dependability, stability and
character are needed sorely today"
Cannot Reconcile Policy.
Representative Otter declared that
he could not reconcile IAN avowed ad-
ministration policy Of emphasis upon
social security and an evident admin
istration program Of ignoring the
foundation upon which our social Sc
curity must be built-the character Of
our people"
II deplore the fact that character
education cannot be included in the
program of administration expendi-
tures," Otter continued.
Il am in accord with those who
emphasize the need of maintaining
the national credit but I am equally
convinced that an economic recovery
will be of little value unless those in
terests which nave to do with char
acter building are safeguarded and
developed. I hold it is our
first duty to give to our children the
greatest possible advantages for phys
iCal well-being, for intellectual dis
cipline and the development Of spirit
ual stability which can possibly be
provided
Representative Otter was applauded
when he closed his statement with an
appeal to both sides of the House,
irrespective of party lines" to support
his proposed amendment to restore the
character education appropriation.

The labor boys are fuming about
the proposal to keep Government
wages down below private wages.
They regard this as an attack on
wage scales generally and they appear
to have some support inside the New
Deal. Houser Moffett said recently
the 1926 wage scale is the desirable
goal. A recent release from his Office,
although carefully worded, also tended
to knock down the idea that building
costs are too high.
This wage matter will be one of
the biggest inner issues before the

Civil War in Labor.
The building trades union labor
situation is not being helped by the
civil war now raging inside it.
Deputy N. r. A. Administrator
Berry will not confirm or deny it,
but he has notified the two warning
factions of the A. F. of L. building
trade department that he will resign
unless they compose their differences.
He is big union man himself (head
OF the pressmen) and Is fast getting
around to the view that he is wasting
his building trades code efforts as

continue to fight among themselves.
Peace is expected shortly, for that
reason or others.
