NEW YORK, March 4.-The So
ciety photographer from London
Cecil Beaton, is the sartorial WOW OF
the season in both New York and
Palm Beach. A Ianguid, drawing
fellow he will focus his camera on
only people who matter" and this
commercial snobbery has made him
a Mayfair pet.
He can spot such flashy dressers
as Goadby LoeW the blanket on
last years Derby winner and romp
down the home stretch ahead in
the Gaudy Dressers' Sweepstakes.
Materials that would redden the
cheeks of Broadway's one flight up
tailors are worn by him with some
thing of a jolly old dash.
He goes in for three-tone shad-
ings. A chocolate brown coat, an
autumn leaf vest and a tan
pair of pantaloons give the idea.
Or perhaps dinky lapeled coat of
grass green with a Buster Brown
bow. Nothing is too bold by day,
but at night he quiets down to con-
ventional dinner jacket.
While Beaton holds first place
among the disciples of the livelier
patterns, the seasons most sedate
and correctly dressed honors, &C
cording to styliSts, go to Tullio Car
minati, movie actor He clings to
grays, blues and blacks and ties of

CITIZENS OPPOSE
Z0NING LAW CHANGE
Manor Park Association Against
Erection Of Small Apart.
ment Buildings.

A property holders request that the
Manor Park Citizens Association in
dorse action providing for a change
in the coming law was denied by the
organization at its meeting at Whittier
School last night.
The issue arose over the proposed
erection of four small apartment
buildings at Flair road and Van Buren,
street. Arguments raised against such
a change in the coming law were to
the effect that low-rent apartments in
this area would definitely decrease ad-
jacent property values and would pave
the way for even further inroads OF
commercial building.
Most Of the meeting was taken up
with a report Of the organizations
Public Utility Committee in regard to
the transit hearings. George A.
Corbin, chairman Of the committee,
reported that a further investigation
Of transportation conditions in the
Manor Park area had been promised
by Riley E. Elgen, chairman Of the
Public Utilities Commission. Data
were presented by Corbin indicating
overlooking Of busses in the Manor
Park section.
A brief filed by an attorney for the
association in condemnation proceed
ings in connection with the widening
of Blair road was read. Because Of
the extensive work necessary in pre-
pairing the document, it was voted to
take up an additional collection to
reimburse the lawyer for his work.
The case is pending before Justice

railroads Of 31a per cent Of salaries
not In excess Of $500 a month, and an
income tax on railroad employees of
31a per cent of salaries which do not
exceed $500 month. The companion
law set up retirement system for en-
ployes reaching IS years of age. The
maximum pension was placed at Sl20
a month.
Purpose Of Tax" Stated.
The true purpose of this tax act is
not to create revenue for the support
Of the Government, but to furnish
funds to pay the pensions, the bill of
complaint charged. 1t added that the
retirement act does not authorize a
disbursement of general Government
funds, but the distribution Of funds
raised by the tax.
It charged that the separation of
the two acts was merely scheme for
passing funds through the Treasury
for payment of pensions in circum-
vention of the Supreme Courts ruling.
The two acts, as pension system,
have many of the same unconstitu-
tional features as the 1884 law, it was
stated. Among these was cited provi-
sion for paying pensions to discharged
employees when they reach the age of
65, regardless Of the reason for the
discharge.
Another was that II person in the
service of railroad when the law was
passed quits before he reaches the age
of 65 he still will receive a pension
when he attains that age regardless
Of how long he would have been out
Of the railroad service.
A. A. A. Ruling Seen Help.
Counsel for the railroads said they
thought the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration decision by the Su-
preme Court yesterday, while not con-
trolling. will be helpful to them in
this case.
The railroads alleged that the whole
pension set-up is a scheme for "spoila-
ton and conflScation" Of their proper
ty and is not taxation.
Named as defendents in the suit
were the Railroad Retirement Board
and the commissioner of internal reve
nue.. They must file an answer in
20 days. The case then will be set
for trial.
Handling the case for the railroads
was a committee of counsel composed
of R. V. Fletcher, vice president and
general counsel of the Association of
American Railroads; S. R. Prince,
general counsel of the Southern Rail-
way Co.; S. S. Alderman, general
solicitor of the Southern Railway Co.;

Towns May Bring Pressure.
There are thousands of applications
from cities and towns in the ''inac-

ministration, projects sought eagerly
by the communities, but denied be-
cause of lack of Federal funds. Many
Of these communities will seek to
bring pressure on Congress to include
in the appropriations for the new
fiscal year a large sum for public
works on loan and grant basis.
For the construction program al
ready begun, 1ckes has more than
$500, 100000 in allotted but unex-
pended funds. In addition, he has
a small revolving fund from the sales
OF securities taken in exchange for
municipal loans. This money can be
reloaned on other projects to con-
tinue work on a small scale. Also,
from time to time, projects are re-
scinded and the funds thus released
applied to other construction work.
Under the Presidents budget recon-
mendations, Federal public works in
the various departments will be ham
died in the same manner as they were
under previous enthusiastically
specific appropriations.

FIFTY TONS OF FOOD

The average person over period of
fifty years puts more than fifty tons of
what he considers food into his body, ac-
cording to Dr. Ralph P. Baker. a Penn
sylvanian:
Our greatest fault is over-eating, y
DIR. Baker said. 'The body will utilize
only the amount of food needed for
growth, tissue replacement and energy.
All excess is waste, and waste matter is
toxin.
Food intoxication and alcoholic in
toxication are similar in many respects.
From moral point of view they are iden-
tical. Each has its origin in perverted APP
petites.
"The food intoxicant gets headache
if he misses meal; the alcoholic needs his
eyeopener. Some of us go to jail; some
of the others go to the hopsital.
