While Roosevelt forces prepared to
open Senate debate next week on the
New Deal farm bill, George N. Peek
assailed portions of it today and ques-

Peek, former A. A. A. admins
traitor and foreign trade adviser to
President Roosevelt, said "the suspi-
cion arises that one purpose behind
it is political.
The bill proposes two years OF Fed
eral subsidies to farmers, based on
soil conservation and other factors.
Under the measure this plan would
be followed by a permanent program
involving grants TO cooperating
States.
In his first public comment on the
bill, Peek asked why the State pro-
gram should not be made effective

Suspicious of Election Influence.
"The suspicion arises y he said,

of Federal political rangers and propa-
gandists in the States.
Another consideration may be that
politically il is felt to be better, in a
year of presidential election, to have
the checks for the farmers come oi-
rect from Washington rather than
from the States.
IF these suspicious are valid,
think farmers should know about
them. Furthermore, members OF Con-

It is still early to buy Christ
mas gifts, although we know a few
girls who have already finished
their whole lists and have the
packages wrapped and ready for
Santa Claus.
The merchants would love to
have us begin early, and we be-
lieve in the EARLY Shopping Sys-
tem," but we like to wait until we
see few trees and the bell-ringing
SantaS to give us the Christmas
spirit.
There are a number of my
readers who tell me they like to
have photographs made to give
their friends, and it is a nice GUS
tom, especially if one has number
of relatives. It is because of this
that we are talking of gifts now.
You know it takes time to have
pictures finished, so if you plan
on photographs, it is none too
soon to start now.
If the hands are rough, give
them some careful grooming for
a week or so, and they may be
shown with pride.
When we think of how we are
going to look, there are always a
few little changes we may like to
make. We may need to take off
some weight before we face the
camera. There is still time to
make quite a lot of improvements
and to select the kind of a gown
| that will do the most for us.
One may indulge in some OF the
smart hair ornaments we have
this season. There is a great va
riety, and they add a formal note
to any hairdress. Many Of the
screen beauties are wearing nat.
ural flowers in still pictures.
When you are quite satisfied you
have assembled your costume, and
have made all the necessary i'm
provements, you will need to know
just how to make up for the pic
ture. It is a little different from
the usual makeup, and one that
will photograph well.

ITALIAN baskets, each woven by

seem the most attractive to me
are rust, rose, blue and green, and
nearly all the baskets have the
most intriguing designs woven in,
peasant designs, and so on. There
is vast variety of them, baskets
for dogs and cats, waste baskets,
hampers of all types, knitting
baskets, carry.all baskets with
double handles at the top. Some
are plain, some quite decorated.

WHY DO HUSBANDS CEASE
BEING LOVERS?
"Dear Miss Fairfax:


Dear Miss Fairfax:
"When we were first married,
my husband seemed wildly in love
with me. And now, unless remind
him, he does not give me even a
gOOd-by kiss before he goes to his
office in the morning.
my friends say I'm Old-faSh-
iOned, and that men don't bother
about these attentions to their
wives in this helter- -Skelter world.
But if the world is helter.Skelter,
1 think that love and tenderness
makes it more livable.
"There is no other woman in
my hcSband'S life, of that 1 am
sure. MARIANNE"
The reason that husbands cease
to be lovers is that they are so
harried chasing the more and
more elusive dollar they just
haven't time to make love to
their wives.
I suppose you are a stay-at-
home lady, who does not have to
go downtown and work at a job.
And that, of course, makes yon
feel that your husband should
be more loving and attentive.
But as you tell me there is
no other woman in his life, I
think you have much to be
grateful for, even if he does for
get that good-by kiss in the
morning.
