This lovely lace gown has a
matching jacket, which it should
have according to all the laws of
fashion. The idea of topping each
dress with related cape or jacket
runs throughout the entire style pro-
gram until now it has become a
widespread accepted fact. Norman
Hartnell, especially prominent for
his coronation gowns, designed this
very lovely evening ensemble. Both

President Roosevelt will establish
another precedent this afternoon when
he receives informally in his Office
Senor Don Leon De Vale, newly ap-
pointed Minister from Nicaragua.
This means that the formal Blue
Room of the White House will 70
longer be used for such occasions and
that both the President and the diplo-
mat will be attired IN informal clothes
instead of the customary wing COL
lar cutaway coat and pin-striped
trousers, formerly worn on such oc-
casions
Moreover, the President and his
visitor will laugh and chat while they
sit and smoke instead of standing
stiff1y as has been the custom in the
past. Mr.. Roosevelt. several years
ago, abolished the old custom of ex-
changing diplomatic speeches when
receiving foreign representatives for
the first time. His custom has been
since to receive the letters of credence
from the foreign representative and
hand to the latter his prepared speech
and receive from the visiting foreigner
his speech In return, thereby doing
away with the vocal delivery of these
stereotyped, formal utterances.

WOMAN, g, Stays
GREAT-GRANDS0N
Fearful of Custody Loss, She
Kills Child With Razor,
Then Tries Suicide.

A constant fear that the 2-year-old
child she had raised from birth was
to be taken away from her led an
82year-old colored woman to slash
her great-grandson to death today
with razor and then attempt to
take her own life.
The alleged murder and attempted
suicide occurred when officers went
to the home of Mrs Emma Horton
1921 Thirteenth street NV. where
they found her great-grandson dead
his throat cut. Mrs. Horizons throat
also had been slashed and she was
bleeding profusely.
At the time, the woman was sched.
uled to appear in Juvenile Court al
a hearing to determine whether ths
child, Frederick Horton, a ward Of
the Board of Public Welfare, shoulc
be recommitted to the care of thai
agency
Officials of the Child Welfare Divi-
sion of the board said they could not
explain why she was fearful that the
child was to be taken away from her,
as they had expected to ask the Juvenile
Court to commit him to their care
for another year.
Mrs. Horton was taken to Gallinger
Hospital, where, after being treated
for injuries, she was committed to the
psychopathic ward for mental observa-
ton.
She said the boys mother died the
day after he was born. On a petition
of destitution, the Juvenile Court
placed Frederick under supervision of
the Board OF Public Welfare when
he was only few weeks old, and the
board placed him in the care of Mrs
Horton and an aunt of the child
Katherine Horton.
About three weeks ago, the thin
aged woman said, some one came te
my home and made me sign severa.
papers, and I didn't know what they
were"
"A welfare worker showed some pa
pers under my face and told me tc
sign them. I didn't know what they
were, and when I asked, she wouldnt
tell me. I thought they were going tt
take the child away.
Il didn't want them to take Fred
erick." she said in quivering voice
II loved him like my own"
Child welfare officials said they
couldn't explain to what papers she
was referring. but suggested they
might have had some connection with
the old-age pension Mrs. Horton has
been receiving under the Social Sc.

BOMBING BELIEVED
ORDERED BY JAPAN
Officials Here Say Toxic
Wanted u. S. to Lose
Face With Chinese,
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Eye witnesses reports regarding the
sinking of the U. S. S. Panay and
the bombing of two other American
ships begin to reach Washington. All
the witnesses who are telling the
story of the drama are men whose
word is beyond question. And SO far.
their stories indicate the action of
the Japanese flyers was without any
doubt premeditated and that the air.
men followed orders.
Although the statements Of the
witnesses have not been of1cially con-
frmed, American officials in close
touch with the situation are of the
opinion that the bombing of the
American ships was ordered by high
quarters. The reason for this is be-
lleved to be that the Toxic govern
ment wanted to make us lose face
with the Chinese and at the same
time frighten Americans living in
China and compel them thus to leave
the country where they have been
established for more than half a GEN.
tury.
AT present the japanese govern
ment is endeavoring to set up a
puppet state in the newly-conquered
provinces.
Despite the failure OF the Brussels
Conference and the passive attitude
OF the western powers regarding the
invasion of China, the majority of
the Chinese leaders still believe their
only hope is an Intervention by the
European powers interested in the
preservation of China's integrity.
Dummies" Hard to Find.
This makes it somewhat difficult
for the agents of the Toxic govern
ment to find the necessary dummies
to place at the head of China's affairs.
If America was slapped in the face
violently, it was thought in Toxic, a
feeling of despair might take hold
OF the Chinese and they might give up
all resistance.
The haste with which the japanese
government has apologized to the
American Government is considered
by many officials in Washington as q
splendid piece Of propaganda work
and intelligent diplomacy.
There is no doubt that the Toxic
government does not want a conflict
with this country. It is also true that

By the Associated Pres

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 15.-A. w.
Robertson, chairman of the board of
the Westinghouse Electric g. Manu-
featuring Co., said today the increased
taxes the company has paid since 1885
would be sufficient to pay wages Of
$500 unemployed men.
In a protest against increased taxa
ton, telegraphed to Chairman Pat
Harrison of the Senate Finance Com
mittee, and Chairman Fred Vinson
Of the House Subcommittee Robertson
stated:
1T is well to remember that money
paid in taxes cannot be paid In
wages"
He said the Westinghouse company's
taxes have increased 600 per cent
since 1894; from $2,500 900 four years
ago to more than s16.000,000 in 1887.
The increase since 1885, he said, has
been more than $11, 100000.
Perhaps taxes we are collecting
to pay for relief are the very things
causing unemployment" the manu-
facturer said.
Money can be spent only once.
Tax money is lost to employment"
He listed the Westinghouse COM
pany's yearly tax bill for the past
four years as: 1884, $2,500, 900: 1885,

NEW FUND TO SPUR
SLUM CLEARANCE
$3,000,000 Grant to Aid
Work in All Sections
of District.

Reinforced with a $3,000,OOO grant
from the United States Housing Au-
thority, the District of Columbia Al
ley Dwelling Authority was prepared
today to push ahead with the slum
clearance program on which it al
ready has embarked, Director John
Ihlder said today.
The grant was announced late yes
terday and more than half is to be
expended before July /, under present
plans.
The work is to be carried out in all
sections of the city, Mr.. Ihlder ex-
planned, adding that the program al
ready devised by his organization
calls for the reconstruction of 176
squares. The grant will not be suffi-
cient to care for all of this, however
Already, the authority has expended
s860,000 in reclaiming all squares, he
said.
Larger Areas Objective.
Limited funds heretofore available
have prevented the Authority from 60
ing ahead in the larger areas where
housing congestion exists, and it was
indicated that these now will be the
objective.
1t was explained, too, that the Dis
trict contributes its share to the
building program just as do those
municipalities which are expected to
make a 10 per cent contribution to
the housing fund when taking adven-
tage of its provisions.
When rentals are fixed for the liv-
ing quarters set up they include a
basic figure which provides amortiza-
ton and interest charges; insurance
and taxes as figured on the District

ter. No one will deny that. Such
cameras are versatile and open the
way for picture taking under many
conditions. Extremely fast action
holds no terror for them. They laugh
at poor light. If you want to special
ize on speed photography or indoor
shots without special illumination,
or shoot under adverse conditions
in general, a precision-built, ultra
fast lens camera is the thing to own.
If, however, you want a camera
to snap pictures under ordinary con-
ditions, simple, inexpensive one
will serve admirably, afford lot Of
pleasure and, as far as recording
the subject is concerned, will make
average snapshots just as well as
the more elaborate type. Remember,
| am referring to snapsnooting un-
der ordinary conditions.
Artistic composition, shooting to
capture fascinating and artistic
shadows - which always add so
much to picture, interest appeal
and lighting are strictly up to you.
There isn't camera made at any
price that can tell you how, when
or where to make picture of rare
quality and appeal, but experience
will teach much.
The fact that an unusual, interest
compelling snapshot was taken with
