emobility which the motor age
had given workers. Through the
lean years, many hard-pressed
families have chung to their auto
mobile as a drowning man would
to a raft. as the one means OF
scouting jobs.
The Importance Of the automo-
bile in economic mobility al
ready has been abundantly DEM
onStrated. The story of the
trailer. and what it may mean
in vast human shifts and adjust
ments, is just now opening up.
The annual production of trail
ers is now around $4,000. 1t is
estimated that the immediate de-
mand will be for about 100000
when the new scientific design
is employed. It is for a large
scale trailer production, but at
present, they are produced by
about 200 manufacturers with
small capital and small plants.
READY FOR 1T
Real estate taxes carry a heavy
load in financing the increasing
costs of municipal, State and
Federal Government. What will
happen if we start living on
wheels, detouring ground rent
and taxes? Maybe that's one
way to beat that tax ogre which
seems to be closing in on all OF
us. If the assessor threatens the
little gray home in the West"
we can just slap on a little paint,
step on the gas and make it
"the little green home in the
East" Real estate men will tell
you that the big house is just
a dead liability. They're hard
to sell. The rising demand is for
small, scientifically designed, con-
venient and economical houses.
The knockdown steel house was
one step further in this direction,
and the idea of rambling house
may not be altogether fantastic.
Trailers have been getting bigger
and better each year. In Japan
taxi drivers by the thousands
have been converting their cabs
into living quarters, with COM
plete cooking and sleeping ar
rangementS, quickly and easily
slowed away when the workday
begins. German technicians have
been experimenting with a mobile
house, something like that of Mr..
Wilson.
America Is uniquely adapted
for this kind of thing-more so
than any country. A family could
make a "pitch" on a Vermont
mountainside in the summer and
roll down to Florida in the fall,
Engineers tell me that, so far as
mechanical details are concerned,
it is easily possible to make a
travelling house which can be
heated and air-conditioned and
provide every detail of comfort
and convenience for far less than
an ordinary house.
Students of the human side OF
the news haven't begun to plumb
the change which cheap motive
power is bringing about in mass
conditioning and behavior. They
observe that automobiles did a
lot to enable the younger genera
ton to have it's fling, but they
haven't gone much beyond that
Probably adaptability and mo
bility are just as important in
human survival as they are with
the bugs and the lower vertebrateS
This ambulating house thing i
worth watching.

REGULATIONS

The answer to the question as
to why Secretary of War George
Henry Dern was not buried in
Arlington is that the places OF
honor there are reserved for those
who have served in the armed
forces of the United States.
Although Mr.. Dern was head OF
the War Department he was not
officially a member of the Army
and therefore he can not be &C
credited the ceremonies attendant
on interment at Arlington.

New Tax Dangers

The findings of the Presidential surveyors OF the
problem of fiscal relations between the Federal and
District governments may make it possible to increase
local appropriations for the coming fiscal year with
out increasing local taxes
That possibility, hOlUeUer, should not lead the
District Commissioners to submit to the Bureau of
the Budget estimates Uhich UOULd be tar higher
than the normal revenue OF the city without an IN
crease in the Federal share.
No one can tell just now what Mr.. J. L. Jacobs and
the advisory committee conducting the fiscal invest
cation will report and it would be folly for local Off
Gals preparing the budget to predicate their estimates
on the suppostion that there will be increase in the
Federal appropriation.
SHOULD THE ESTIMATES BE THUS BASED
AND THE INCREASE IN THE FEDERAL SHARE
FAIL TO EVENTUATE THERE WOULD IN ALL
LIKELIHOOD HAVE TO BE AN INCREASE IN
LOCAL TAXES OR THE IMPOSITION OF NEW
TAXES, OR BOTH.
There is every reason to believe that the deliberations
of the Presidential Investigators will result in
mendaton for considerable increase in the proportion
Of local expenses borne by the Federal Government
The last investigation of the question conducted by
q Federal agency-the Bureau of Efficiency-brought
forth recommendation for Federal lump-sum twice
as large that carried in the current appropriation
bill.
While we believe that justice and a proper regard
for the development of the National Capital would
lead the present Investigators to at least similar
conclusion, there is no assurance of this result
And even should the investigators find that the
District has been treated shabbily by the Federal
Government there that the report of the
Investigators will be accepted by Congress in time for
incorporation in the next appropriation bor that it
will be finally accepted at
THUS FOR THE DISTRICT COMMISSIONERS
TO YIELD TO THE DEMANDS FOR INCREASED
APPROPRIATION WOULD BE TO CREATE A
SERIOUS HAZARD OF MORE LOCAL TAXATION
A HAZARD WHICH WOULD BE PARTICULARLY
DANGEROUS AT THE PRESENT TIME.

TIP TO comparatively short
- time ago handwriting was re-
garded as form of needlework to
be utilized and reserved for luxuri-
Gus intimate apparel, robes, bed
jackets, negligees and such. The
thought no longer holds good. The
emergence of handwriting from
boudoir environs becomes a high
style event-the dawn of new era
for this exquisite needle work.
That faithful perennial back-to-
college clothes problem is with us
again. By way of new and in
teresting approach to the subject
suppose we talk about the perfect
ly fascinating hand-quilted sports
coats and evening jackets such as
are now pridefully showing in
shops that make boast of being
ever 'first' in fashion.
Tuck away one or more of these
cunning and chic hand-quilted gar
ments in your back-to-school ward
robe. Wear 'em on the campus ane
to parties and proms and you will
excite the admiration and envy o
the whole college. If you thinl
this is an exaggerated way of put
ting it, please take one long lool
at the hand-quilted fashions her

n'est-ce pas?
Hand quilting really dates bacl
to early history, some of the oldes

Home of Mythical Giants

Not content with having it's own
private giant like every other city
of northern France, the city of
Douai, in Flanders, has a whole
family of "giants," which con-
tribute to the gayety of the French
carnival season. Anglo Saxons
know Douai chiefly as the city
where the Catholic translation of
the Bible was made. But to
Frenchmen, it is celebrated as the
homeland of mythical giants, some
of them as big as the ones in
Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's TRAY
els" The head of the Brobding-
nagian family which holds it's re-
union at Douai is an artificial colos-
sus called Gayant,' % feet high,
who reigns as monarch of Flanders

GenghiS Khan

Temuchin, son of Yesukai BAHIA
dur, was born in 1852 near the
northern bend of the Hoang no
river, in Mongolia. He was only
10 when he assembled his fathers
throne and announced with youth
full confidence his intention OF con-
quering the entire world. He did
in 20 years become master of all
Asia and Eastern Europe, destroy
ing-it is estimated-in his wars
and expeditions at least 10000
lives. History knows him by the
name he gave himself, Genghis
Khan ("greatest of kings"). He
was great as administrator as well
as warrior. He was tolerant in
religion, encouraged popular edu-
cation and established laws against
crime so rigid that it was said that
one might travel from one end of
his vast domains to the other with
out molestation.

Outstanding in fur fashions is

grapes and vintage green's in the
first fall fashions springs from the

fashion. Evidences of it's presence
