WILMINGTON, Del, June 80
Q.N.S0.-All was in readiness for
the wedding at p. m. today Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., and
Ethel dupont, which will forge a
blood tie between two Of the ma
TONS most famous and politically
hostile families.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt
were boarding an early train from
Washington to watch their third
son take the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Eugene dupont down the aisle
Of the rustic family church near
Greenville, Del.
There was earnest agreement by
both families that political philoS-
ophieS be put aside for the day
while the romance which has de-
lighted the American imagination
comes to its elimination.
Said the elders:
"This Is their day."
The President and Mrs. Roose-
welt will reach Wilmington at
noon and will go at once to Owls
Nest, at Greenville, home Of the
brides family, for luncheon.
Thereafter, the President planned
to retire to his special train Ito
dress for the wedding"

TAXHEARING

A per cent additional tax on
land values in the District would
mean a 80 per cent increase over
the present $3.50 real estate levy.
District Auditor Dan Donovan told
the Senate District Committee to-
day.
This land tax proposal, made
originally by Benjamin C. Marsh,
is being pushed by Senator Pat
McCarran CD Of Nevada as the
public hearing on the omnibus
tax measure for the District draws
to close today.
Senator McCarran has been ad.
vised by the District accessors
that this per cent tax would re-
suit in a revenue return Of $4,80O,.
600. Auditor Donovan interrupted
to assert that since the present
assessed levy on land in the Dis.
trict is $17,000,000 the proposed
increase would bring the real
estate levy up to $3.50 and consti'
tute a 80 per cent raise. The levy

Argument Spirited
Senator McCarran challenged
the aditor's figures and a spirited
argument ensued. Donovan stuck
to his guns to the last. Senator
McCarran justified his sponsor

that the difference between the
assessed value of the land and the
sales price would absorb the taS
when the property was sold.

TINE college man and college girl
are usually extremely interest
ed in extra-curricula activities,
L so the luggage which they take
away to school after the holidays
should be chosen with an eye toward
future prom-trotting and Spring week
ends spent away from school. Luggage
manufacturers have made all sorts
of attractive cases. party boxes and
what-not that the smart collegian
cannot be without.
Probably the best looking, most
masculine luggage is made in russell
cowhide. Even the freshest OF fresh
men will have a man of the world air
when carrying it. Besides being eye
filling it is amazingly durable and
practical and will withstand the rough

from school, the handiest piece Of
luggage for a college man, so I was
reliably informed by Princeton upper
classmen, is the folding Gladstone.
This bag has hangers which keep
suits as wrinkle free as when they
are hung in the closet, and it can be
hung up full length in cars or trains
while en- route. There are pockets
for shirts and underwear in the back
of the bag and there is space for
shoes in the bottom. 1t is opened by
means of a Upper which runs down
the inside of the bag when it is folded

Best Beauty
Insurance
A Few Minutes Each
Day Will Preserve
Your Looks.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.


IF YOU could look into a crystal
and see yourself 10 years hence.
looking young and lovely, would you
come away thrilled? Or, II you saw
yourself looking much more than 10
years older and much less lovely than
you are today, would you be q little
fearful? On the other hand, no mat
ter what the picture. would you be
just bit skeptical, feeling who
can foretell"?
As matter Of fact. you can fore
tell. much more surely than by
crystal gazing, just how you will look
10 years from now. Because beauty
effort and result are related: be-
cause it is pretty much like q bank
account, what you put into the culti-
vation and preservation of your good
looks you get back with interest.
Beauty insurance, We might call it.
Why not? We insure ourselves against
illness, against burglary, against acci-
dent-why not against loss Of loveli-
ness?
Suppose some one we're to tell vol
that it would cost you a dollar or
two week and 20 minutes Of your
time each day as the premium fcr
beauty insurance. Would you think
that insurance rate too steep?
II you can afford the luxury Of
salon treatments the insurance rate
| increases, but then you are insured
for that much more. But for the
average woman, who can only afford
a hair setting every other week or
once in three weeks, but knows how
to help herself along at home, who
can prolong the life Of a fingerwave
and repair her own nails between
manicures and keep her eyebrows
groomed at home. the minimum pre-
MUM is sufficient. The only other
expense. and it is really an invest
ment, Is in few select toilet prepa-
rations specifically suited to her own
needs-the particular group of beauty
aids that will do the most for her
| looks
And now for the time involved-the
20 minutes a day Consistency has
its reward. Day after day consistent
ly you will cleanse your skin. tone IL
by patting with tonic, nourish it with
cream if 1t is dry or prone to wrinkles.
Day after day you will watch your
diet. you will do some simple but
beneficial exercises. you will take long
walks in the open. you will drink
plenty of water, you will sleep suf-
f1ciently. Day after day. as the habit
grows, you will seemingly without
effort) be accumulating the benefits of
your beauty insurance. And the end
of the 10-year period, and 10 years
after that, your face, your hair. your
figure-you-will still be beautiful. 1t

Manners
of the
Moment

THE man who is marvel on the ice,
and can turn cartwheels and do
the hula hula, without losing his
balance, really should try to keep it
to himself when he is out skating
with his girl-unless. OF course, his
girl is another Sonia Henie. The
average girl. who feels bit unstable
on skates, certainly gets no fun out
of a partner who drops her every few
minutes to cut a caper She is sup
posed to admire-but all she can do
is to keep on her feet and wish she
had come with some one else.
The man who values his date-even
II she can't skate-will try to forget
what a sensation on ice he was IN
high school. If he absolutely has to
express himself in figure eight. let
him find his girl a comfortable ring
side seat before he starts.
Otherwise, there ought to be a law
enacted to prevent good skaters from
having dates with poor skaters.
