Go by plane, boat, train,
motor or bus, and you will find
that the shops have provided
the perfect outfit. that they
have given thought to your
smart appearance, as we'll as to
the necessary convenience and
comfort of travel.
For travelling, one can think
of no more perfect dresS-than
the black silk jersey, we spoke
of yesterday on this page. It
doesn't rumple and its sleek,
smooth lines are becoming to all
types. Also it packs superbly
and once hung up, any folds
quickly disappear.
Goats and Suits
Best of all, once the advent of
fall brings an eclipse of color
in your wardrobe, this same
smart frock can be worn with
your fall coat and straight
through the winter.
The light weight wooden dress
is in demand too, as are crepes
that are being made to look like
wool. The knitted things are
being made up in stitches to
look like tweed which is very
smart for travelling.
The untrimmed sports coat is
winning a place for itself in

ity Is the new cry. That means
that facial landscaping is subdued.
Don't forget that the season
has advanced and the tone of the
complexion has changed because
Of the caresses of the midday sun.
Powder must be darker. The lip
stick with an orange cast is all
right for blonde and brunette. 1t
is more outdoorish than the good,
old geranium color.
Liver spots are the bane Of
many a woman'S life. Like
freckles, they are due to a change
in the pigment of the skin. The
liver has nothing to do with them.

given today.
II your baby is breast fed, then
you are fortunate. The only thing
you have to keep in mind in con-
nection with it is that you keep
yourself as rested and unworried
as possible.
If your baby is bottle fed. then
certain arrangements will have to
be made for his feeding. If the
journey is only for day, whether
by motor or train, it is possible to
prepare beforehand and take with
you the days supply of milk. II
your trip is longer than for day,
different arrangements will have
to be made, though often it is con-
venient to take the first days feed
ings with you, already prepared.
If the journey is by train, it is
sometimes possible to arrange to
nave bottled milk or prepared milk
delivered to the train en- route, in
ice boxes, but this is rather ex.
pensive. 1t is also sometimes pos.
sible to procure bottled, sealed,
paSteurized milk daily while trav-
cling by train. and, of course, this
is usually possible by car.
THE ALTERNATIVE
The alternative of bottled milk
is the use of some of the prepared
milkS, powdered, or evaporated,
or the proprietary baby's foods.
Consult your doctor about these
and about formula. Don't start
on your journey without adequate
plans concerning the milk part Of
your baby'S diet.

or If it is for longer and you are
planning to take the first days

Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS tarIaX:
"I'm just high school kid, II
years old, and to make a little ex-
ira money 1 have been delivering
merchandise for chain store.
"Of course, I've got girl
drat it-drat all girls 1 say. /
asked my girly if she'd go to the
show with me-. 1 wanted to see a
special movie, and she said she
would.
81 had only S1.5O to spend on
this party, and thought we'd get
orchestra seats for the movie, and
I'd treat her on the way nome.
"On the night of the big date,
I called, and found her sitting on
her porch with an older man, must
have been all of rs or 26. We all
talked together for a while.
Il expected her to mention our
date, and excuse herself from him,
but she did just that to me, and
said: Pm going out with Mr.. So
and So, and we'll have to be going
SOOn.' l was speeches., was so
burnt up, but 1 got up and tried
to make fun of them by saying:
Il hope you'll have a grand time,
Marmaduke and Angelina and
turned on my heel.
1--WE not see this girl since. Shall
1 cut her dead, or pretend her
crOOkedness didn't hurt me?"
"JOE."
The latter method would be de-
cidedly better. Don't refer to the
broken date, and if she says any
thing about it, you might ask her
casually, did we have a date for
that EVENING"" But don't ask her
again. She was very rude, and I'm
glad you thought up the Marina
duke and Angelina jibe.

supply already prepared with you,
here is the way to go about 1t:
Prepare the necessary number Of
bottles for a days feeding.
You will need an automobile re-
frigerator or other portable ice
box for them. This can be bought,
or one can be improvised as fol-
lows: Have a pail big enough to
hold the bottles of milk in cracked
ice. Put this pail in another one
about two inches wide all around,
packing sawdust between the two
pals. Put plenty of newspapers
over the two pals and cover over
that. Then as each bottle is
needed it can be heated.
SIMPLER METHOD
A simpler method for one day is
to use good quality thermos bot
tie. Put the days supply of milk
in it and take 1t out as needed.
Be sure that your thermos bottle
is absolutely clean before you put
the milk in, that it has been
thoroughly chilled, and that the
boiled milk is cold when put in.
OF course, do not use the milk
after it has been in more than
"a hours.
The empty sterilized milk bot
ties for the day must be stoppered
and put in a container, pail or
otherwise tightly covered. Sterile
nipples will also need to be kept
in a sterile container. If you use
the thermos, it is possible to carry
fewer bottles and nipples than
with the other plan, because you
can sterilize them after using.
Tomorrow I will discuss the
baby's milk while travelling, and
other foods he will need.

Now that I am without you, all

These things do not remember

An Aid to Justice

once more Congress considers bill exemptng news
" paperen from being forced to reveal in court the
sources of confidential information.
This measure, introduced by Representative Edward
Curley of New York, SHOULD PASS.
Indorsng the Curley bill, William Randolph Hearst
has pointed out:
Most of these confidential communications to news
papermen in the nature of revelations which AID
THE CAUSE OF JUSTICE. Obviously THE SOURCES
OF INFORMATION WOULD BE CLOSED if news
papermen compelled to reveal these The
question: therefore, is whether newspapermen should go
to Jail for serving the public interests
1t is not that the press seeks any special privilege
through enactment of this bill into law.
What it learns the public will learn, through publca
ton-pubhcatlOn which exposes crime and corruption
that they may be ended and punished
But frequently those who able to give information
which will aid the public fear to talk because they
afraid of reprisals
The press seeks merely to protect its witnesses-he
PUBLIC's witnesses-as the police protect theirs.
Scores of newspapernen have gone to jail rather than
of the pledge of secrecy had been broken
Scores more will go to jail for that until
all the States-or the UNITED States-pemit them
legally to safeguard their informants.
The public is entitled to ALL the news.
It could not get ALL the news-it frequently could
not get news of VITAL IMPORTANCE newspaper
employees bowed to the outworn ruling that condolences
must be betrayed, "oR ELSE"
Why penalize them, therefore, for uphoding the pub
lies interests?
It is a stupid law indeed which sends an individual
behind the bars because he REFUSES to do WHATS
WRONG, and DETERMINES to do WHAT'S RIGHT.

Control of Floods
By J. T. Williams, Jr.

Early next month President
Roosevelt will send to Congress a
National Water Plan" One Of its
objects will be to provide effective
control Of floods such as are now
leaving hundreds of thousands
homeless and destroying hundreds
of millions in property UP and
down the Ohio River.
It was the floods Of last year
which did so much damage in the
Eastern half of the country that
prompted an appeal to the Ma
tional Resources Committee for a
long-range plan for each i'm
portant drainage basin in the
United States.
SPECIAL STUDY
The special study upon which
the National Water Plan" to be
submitted to Congress will be
based has been directed by Fred
erick H. Fowler, of San Francisco,
q member Of the American society
Of the civil engineers committee
on flood control data and a con-
sultant on flood problems for Los
Angeles and Kansas City. The as
Sistant director in charge of this
study Is Merton L. Emerson, of
Boston, a consulting engineer and,
like Mr.. Fowler, a former member
Of the technical board Of review Of
the Public Works Administration.
In their first report, which the
President sent to Congress two
years ago, the National Resources
Committee warned the country
that frequent floods might be ex-
pected in the Ohio basin and gave
the reasons in these words:
"The Ohio basin has q dense
population, supports a diverSi-
fled industrial structure, con-
tains a variety Of land forms,
and usually receives adequate
to cOpiOus precipitation. This
basin, therefore, is confronted
with all the water problems char
acteristic of = complex and
highly developed humid region.
Attention centerS on the control
of excess run-Off during flood
periods and on the most effec-
tive utilization Of valuable water
resources
Throughout the Ohio Valley
flood control is q matter Of much
significance. Almost all the
more important cities and towns
are located adjacent to the Ohio
River and its major tributaries,
while the rich bottom lands
along these streams are used for
agriculture. ANY serious flooding
Of such intensively occupied
areas results, of course, in heavy
losses"

VERIFICATION

Recently a breakfast was held
at the Washington Hotel in honor
of Mary w. "Mollie" Dewson, vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee and generally
conceded to be one of the most
important women in the Demo
cratic organization. It was a big
affair directed by Lavinia Engle.
Mrs. Roosevelt dropped in. Jim
Farley paid his respects and every.
one had something nice to say
about "Mollie."
Perhaps the incest tribute paid

she came to know the world Of
"Mollie" Dewson was like this!
When Mrs. Norton's niece, Ma.
rion McDonagh, graduated from
college she wanted to go to work
with the Democrats. So she be-
came a member of the Dewson
staff.
Each night after work, Mrs.
Norton said, her niece would
come home and sing the praises
Of "Mollie" Dewson.
Mrs. Norton said there was no

the pastry and candy shops, feast
ing with their eyes since they had
been forbidden to buy so soon

A group Of men stood before a
wall and discussed the poster
which had been painted thereon
in the darkness Of the previous
night. It read:
"The criminal element from
the slumS is preying upon our
property and our happiness.

THE OLD STORY
A cynic in the group Knocked the
summons to civic virtue.

he said. Every other year we

1t is always the same. The
best people are too occupied
with other affairs to concern
themselves with who shall rule
them"

other. "They are betting now
that Lucius will be chosen alder
man by the largest majority
ever given to an Office-seeker."
"Why shouldn't he beg" re-
piled the cynic. "He knows the
game. He's been here only three
years now and he practically
owns the city. Free liquor and
free use Of money is his method
and it gets him the votes. He
wasn't a corrupt ward boss In
Rome for nothing"
The sound of wheels and gallop-
ing horses on the hard pavement
broke up the discussion. The men
crowded against the wall to get
clear of the chariot which came
tearing through Stabian Street.

Of Texas, who is noted for an orig

this region bring home to the
whole country how heavy these
losses are.
CONSTANT THREAT
What Is happening now will
happen again in some future year
unless some effective program is
carried out to harness the flood
waters Of this region. This, too,
was pointed out two years ago by
Mr.. Delano, DR.. Merriam, and DR..
Mitchell. In the course Of their
report they said:
Natural conditions lin the
Ohio basin) favor frequent
floods. The size and location Of
the basin are such that heavy
rains occasionally fall simultane-
Ously over a large part Of it. At
such times the river system is
charged with more water than
can drain off properly through
the main stem.
Regulation Of these floods by
the construction of large storage
reservoirs on the main streams is
virtually precluded by the high
value of the land along their
banks. Reservoirs on the tribu-
tarieS combined with local levee
systems appear to afford, In
most cases, the control Of local
flood problems"
There is every reason why the
carrying out of a National Water
Plan" should begin in the Ohio
basin. The Ohio River ranks as
the greatest flood-producing tribu-
tary Of the Mississippi. Success.
full high-water control in the Ohio
basin would make easier the re-
duction Of flood crests on the lower
Mississippi.
COMPLEX PROBLEM
Already the Federal Government
has expended $240,000,000 for i'm
provements in behalf Of navigation
on this system, which present, in
addition to engineering problems,
q complex economic and financial
problem as well.
The fact that the Ohio basin is
again the scene of disastrous
floods affords the President an op-
portunity to mobilize public senti.
ment in support of the National
Water Plan" 1t Is reasonable to
expect that he will reinforce the
recommendations Of his resources
committee in this regard with a
ringing message to the Congress
to have done with pickering and
provide the legislative authority
needed to give the people Of the
Ohio basin the protection they de-
serve against a repetition Of the
present floods.
