Whether or not you have usherS
depends on the number of guests
you are planning to invite. If
there are to be only a few guests,
it would not be necessary. But if
there is to be a large or fairly
large group of guests, you will find
it convenient to have ushers to
take care of the seating arrange
ments. If you think that having
uShers in the procession and re-
cessional takes away from the in
formality that you wish to main
tain, you needn't have the ushers
take part in these.
It would not be at all necessary
to wear gloves with this informal
attire. If you do decide to wear
gloves, I suggest gloves of soft
suede, eggshell.

Famous Authority on Problems
of LoUe and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"My friends have all dropped
me, and 1 have no one from
whom l can ask a word of ad-
vice. Two years ago 1 set up
housekeeping with a girl whom
1 could not marry, because
had a wife in one of the Euro
pean countries.
THE girl has been married
and separated, too. With the feel
ing against us, we've had a pretty
hard time to get along. But now
I've had a raise, and things will
be easier.
Her mother has done every
thing she could to break us up,
and once the girl told me her
family had arranged for her to
marry a young man, we'll fixed
financially and of her own ma
tiOnality. The trouble is she
doesn't love him, and she claims
to love me.
81 haven't seen her for three
weeks. Would 1t be wise to try
and get her back, if she is will
ing to come?
"I'm 10 years older than she
is; l do not know whether my
wife in Europe is living or dead,
and l have not the money to
make the necessary inquiries,
which would be impossible on
account of the political upheaval
in the old country"
FOREIGNER"
There are good many sides
to your problem. First, the op-
position of the girls family,
which keeps you apart; then the
fact that you have both been
married and are not divorced,
and have lost your friends and
standing through flouting public
opinion and living openly to-
gether.
The girls mother is unalter-
ably opposed to her daughters
going back to you. On the other
hand. the girl claims to love
you and not the man they wish
her to marry.
Why not try to clean up the
slate a little. at least? Go to
the Consul General, who repre-
sents your native country, and
see what he has to advise.
And write to the girls mother
and say you are trying to regu-
larize the situation, and would be
glad to marry her daughter when
she is free.
The Consul General may be
able to find out whether your
wife is living or dead, and what
legal steps you could take to Sc
cure a divorce.

SHALL HE RE-ENLIST?
Dear Miss Fairfax:


"My husbands enlistment IS
up in a few months, and we are
undecided whether he should
continue in the Navy or not,
We've been married four years
and things have been pretty
hard for us.
"We hardly ever see each
other, except on week-ends, and
he has been in the Navy so long
that he's lost confidence in him
self, and is afraid he can't get
work if he resigns.
ut would be hard for him to get
used to land, when he's been so
much at sea. If he reenliSts he'll
have to go to China and Hawaii,
and that would be a long Separa'
ton.

or should 1 be willing to wait 10
years more for the benefit Of the

The question of your husband's S
reenlistment will prove easier to
answer if he has had even partial
training in some trade or business,
or if you have any friends who

THE SERVICE OF INDUSTRY

Discussing the use of surpuses created by industry
good times the New York Times points out that they
perform important social function ''They used'"
the Times reveals, for the replacement of obsoescent
machinery for the installation of machinery, for the
erection of factories and office buildings, for the
creation of new capital goods of every variety.
The creation of these capital goods cumuatvely
Increases the volume of consumption goods that American
industry turn out year by year for people. It
increases the productivity of the American workman and
hence his earning power It provides endessy op
portunites for employment
Using the automobile industry as example, the
Times quotes figures from the Fnancial History of the
Automobile Industry, to show that in year out of
ST. 658OOOO0O capital invested in nine automobile
panies all but $685. 100000 had from reinvestment
out of surpluses of the corporations themselves.
"At the present time has been constantly empha-
szed the Times states the great bulk of the existing
unemployment is in the capital goods industries These
industries depend overwhelmingly for their revival and
expansion upon renvestment Of corporation surpuses
Should fear Of drastic tax Of surplus retained for
renvesment lead corporations to cura present plans
for plant expansion, heavy blow would be dealt to
potential recovery and the hopes for unemployment"

YESTERDAY AND TODAY

1t is 315 years since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock In those early years the people sometimes found
hard to provide the necessities of e but they succeeded
Since we became Nation have not only provided for
ourselves but for of the rest Of the world The New
Deal' has made change In 1888 fed ourselves and
exported So 100000 bushels of wheat The New Deal paid
farmers for not raising wheat, and in 1885 have i'm
ported 28,0000OO bushels to supply needs and ex
ported none In 1888 sold abroad 100000 bushels Of
1ye but in 1885 we imported 100000 bushels In 1888
we sold abroad 100000 pounds of lard but in 1885
had to buy 100000 pounds to meet needs In 1888
sold abroad 30OO000OO pounds of pork but in 1885
the tables turned and bought 100000 pounds Be-
sides all this the consumerhas had to pay enormously high
prices for what he used And what has the New Deal
to do with this? AS example, take the matter of pigs
The government paid $6OOOOOO to have little pigs and
broodng sows killed. It paid $1OOOOOOOOO to have hogs
and cattle killed during the 1894 drouh It paid $3OOOOOO
more for agreements not to raise pigs. Some farmers may
have benefited by all ths but the of the people have
suffered The might be said of wheat and and
cotton and other things which theorists have been per-
mtted to medde with The American people suffering

PURCHASING POWER

Statements purporting to show the increased income
of the people of the United States the figures OF
1888 make very pleasant reading Unfortunately, how
the figures do not show the real situation because
they do not take into consideration the increased cost
of living and Of the purchasing power of the average
For example, according to figures released by the
Alexander Hamilton Institute the per capita money in
in 1888 had declined to $357 and then to $01
in the preliminary figures of 1885 But at the same time
the cost of living index fixed the basis of 100 for
1929 rose from 748 in 1888 to 831 in 1885.
In other words, while the average per capita wage
gained little than IL per cent in two years. the
cost of living than II per cent It be seen
therefore, that the gain the average per capita income
practically wiped out in the United States by the
increased cost of living
To illustrate from figures furnished by the institute
the consumers purchasing power from low Of
1873 in 1888 to I'll in 1884 and then dropped back to
746 in 1885, figure only O8 points above the 1888 level
So the rise in income and the parallel rise in the cost
of living gave the after two years of New Deal
and lavish government expenditure to prme the pump
increase Of just about per cent in his purchasing
power
After all, it isn't much the amount of money get
what buy with it. The average citizen may de-
eide for himself whether increase Of per cent in his
billion dollars in the natoa debt with the consequent
looming ahead of higher taxes which will affect every
in the and especially him who belongs to the
middle class which strives to pay it's debts and practice
economy far this is possible in economic age

Strong words are being spoken
by the nations lawmakers these
days about the tenacity with which
some downtown" officials stick to
ideas. The new tax bill brought the
situation into the open.
When the tax plan first was sub
mitted to congress-, it surprised
everybody. Leaders had expected
fairly simple bill. In fact, they
had warned that passage of a
broad measure would he political
suicide because it would awaken
the small taxpayer as to what is
in store for him after the election
when the bill begins to be paid,
But Congress, nevertheless, was
asked to change the whole basic
structure of corporation taxes. The
proposal was to put stiff levies on
profits which were not distributed
as dividends to stockholders but
which were turned into surplus
and reserves.
Legislators swiftly remembered
that it was reserves which let
thousands of concerns employing
millions Of men weather five de-
preston years. In other words, the
money that had gone 'tinto the
sock" in good years was used to
pay running expenses during the
bad.
1t was suggested, therefore, that
the new taxes not be so high as to
force distribution all. profits.
Let some, the lawmakers said, be
put in to reserves. r. 49,.
The treasury balked, even refus-
ing at first to estimate how much
revenue might be obtained if the
diversion of some profits into re-
serves were permitted. But when
congress put it's own experts at
work on estimates, the treasury
supplied some too.
All this scrapping with treasury

The treasury and federal social security board busy
preparing regulations under which 100000 en-

There is difference of opinion between those who
are practical and those who are politically
minded The practical say the regulations should
be issued and the huge staff necessary to register
the 26000000 should start functoning this at
the latest The politicians insist that the work be put off
until after November because they fearful of the
effect it might have voters to remind them of these
