Bermuda's Water Supply

In Bermuda all the roofs Of the
houses are white because these
roofs are used to catch the rain as it
falls. There is a strictly enforced
law that every house must have a
suitable water catch and storage
tank. Rain falling on the white roofs,
or into hillside catchments dug into
coral, is diverted to storage tanks
which are inspected and lime
washed regularly.

Suit Simplicity Subtle
and Therefore Expensive

Simple suits are always in de-
mand, but the simplicity of such
suits is subtle and therefore always
expensive. Chanel has created a
beauty which appears for summer
in lightweight gray flannel, and for
early autumn wear in smooth navy
wool. The jacket, with one-button
fastening at the waist, is slightly
fitted in front and has a straight
back. On one of the wide-stitched
revers is slit pocket that holds a
hankie. There is a tiny turnback
cuff that continues from a set-in
scanned panel with three buttons.

Hollywood Dog Days
TOURISTS to the Hollywood Sec
L tor come during dullish inter-
lude. The diary of Miss Astor has
been closed, and the next chapter
in the love-life of John Barrymore
has not been opened.
It might be said for Miss Astor's
output, before the court shut it off,
that it was well-written and caused
the public eagerly to await further
disclosures. Certain parties may
have gone out of town, but they
all left word where the paper was
to be sent Hereafter, for a series
of such purely personal confessions,
it might be well to begin each in
stallment like this:
MAY it please your honor and
my precious pettykins."
Praising John Hamilton
HEARD John Hamilton speak to
L selected group of his own folks,
and please don't laugh when l say
that the individual he most reminds
me of-in engaging personality, in
sound sense-is the rival national
chairman, Jim Farley.
Without comparing these two as
to past records or future prospects,
I figure they're temperamentally
alike in various ways-notably m
not getting unduly excited or hastily
indicative.
In his talk Hamilton did not de-
clare the American flag was in dam
ger, did not implore anyone to save
the American home. He didn't call
the Republicans saints; didn't call
the Democrats knaves or idiots. He
didn't claim for his side monopoly
of patriotism. Quite calmly he told
his hearers what points he thought
should be stressed by his party in
this campaign-and poked fun at
himself while poking fun at the
other crowd.
Congressman Versus Taxes
A GAINSr my better judgment,
IA Pm trying to be cheered by the
announcement of the present ma
jority leaders in congress that, look
ing forward to the next session,
they behold no new taxes ahead.
But, after election, when the lads
look closer, they'll probably be able
to behold quite a few.
That's why balanced budget is
like the idea of santa claus-some-
thing everybody talks about, but
nobody ever expects to see. Ex-
cepting when campaign is on and
the voters are sort of fiinching their
CALLED backs under the load, IA
vorite pastime of legislators, wher-
ever found, is thinking up more
taxes to go along with the taxes
the've already thunk up.
They resist the craving for just
so long, and then they notice some
previously overlooked dollars hiding
behind the Dashboard, and then
well, you might nire henhawk to
guard your henhouse, but could you
depend on his word?

as it visions what style-conscious
spectator sports maidens will be
carrying to the football game.
Bags stitched to match gloves are
also fashion highlight in promise

staunch handles to swing by and
the new jewel slide fastener pro-
viding a delicate golden chain

theory of centralized authority
and Landon promising to restore

What with Farley undertaking to

votes; what with Andy Jackson
