It's not new that trucks won't be al- lowed on the Merritt Parkway, but 1t may be interesting to know that the road will be patrolled only by state and local po- licemen. There won't be special corps to arrest motor law offenders, as is the case along the Hutchinson River Park way. Our state cops will have to do most of the work with some assistance from town officers where the road passes through their township.

 Entangled in the tug O war is the fate of National Chairman Hamilton. ..
 Landon, Knox, most of the con- gressional leaders would like tc axe him. But their problem is to find a suitable successor. Few people want the job. Overhanging the party is a large and unattrac- tive deficit
 This is Hamilton's biggest as- set. So far it has kept the very welcome $25,O0O-a-year post in his own lap.
 Further to strengthen him. self, Hamilton tied up with Hoover and is vigorously push ing the convention plan "a maneuver that has not improved his standing either with Landon or the congressional chiefs.
 Last week movement sudden- ly broke into the open to replace Hamilton with Landon. The exact source of this, idea Is clouded in mystery. Landon's friends say he had nothing to do with 1t, that he would not take the job, as it would be a distinct step-down.
 Some GOPers say Senator Vandenberg threw the chair Hmanship at Landon as move to undermine Hoover and strengthen his own presidential ambitions. As National Chair man, Landcn would be definitely out of the 194O picture.
 Hamilton will not walk the plank at the Chicago meeting. But what happens in the joust between Hoover and Landon will determine in a large measure how much longer he holds on his cushy job. s3 t&&@ e-''' ,t,

Wedding
Problem
BY EMILY POST.

YEAR MRS. POST: My father and
mother are both dead and have
two brothers. both married. I would
like to include the little girl of the
older brother in my wedding as flower
girl, but the other brother has no
children who are of suitable age so
they could take part. Since this is the
case, don't you think perhaps should
ask the younger brother to walk with
me and give me away?
Answer. - Correctly, the Oldest
brother takes the fathers place at his
sisters wedding, and only when a
brides love for her younger brother
Is so great that she is willing to pro-
claim her preference does she choose
the younger III the older's place The
fact that the child Of the older brother
is to be flower girl has nothing to do
with the natural right of the one who
Is the head of the family. Sometimes,
OF course, when a younger brother
and sister live together at home and
the older one has long lived elsewhere,
and her affection for her younger
brother is very great, she does not
hesitate to let every one know which
one she cares most for In the usual
case the younger brother takes part
as an usher.

OF course, tho best and most e.
fective step In preventing catastrophes
Is to swing on mama and end tho
whole thing then and there. That's
flne-if you can catch mama. But
mama Is a cagey piece and full OF
protective color1ng, etc., which takes
the situation right out OF the simple
class.
The safest bet is to believe that
your house is guilty of harboring
buffalo moths until you can. prove
1t innocent. Leave no mattress un-
turned, no tufted furniture uncleaned,
no carpet at peace. Turn out closets,
bureau drawers, bookcases and desks
mama's little darlings just love papers
and book bindings. All cracks in
floors and walls are suspected If they
can tuck away little woolly dust.
Constant vigilance Is the price Of
security-without it you might Just
as we'll turn the keys over to the
buffalo moth family and move out.
VOU can spray and fumigate With
the milder insecticides, you can
wrap things IN layers of tar paper
and all sorts of preventive swathings-
but unless you are sure that no eggs
are left lying around Unmatched you
haven't done thing except wear your
self to a frazzle Because the eggs
can stay dormant over a period OF
months, and just when you begin to
draw happy breath-trouble breaks
out all over again. So no matter
what measures you take to destroy
the pests, they should be repeated
about every three months or 50, to
catch any larvae that may have
sneaked up on you in the interim.
The larvae, by the way. may look
either like new streamlined car,
sporting stiff black whiskers all over,
like Scotty pup, or they may be long
and slim, yellowish in color, with a
flowing tail Of brown hairs. Fas-
cinating, but hardly endearing!
II you see one of these gay fellows
creeping about your wall or sofa-go
into action without delay. There are
several fairly simple ways Of dealing
with them that are harmless to chill
dren, groWn-ups and pets, but, as I
said before, the battle must never
cease. Scruplous cleanliness is essen
tial, and never, never let storage clos
cts or containers go too long unob-
served. Otherwise. you will some
day discover that what was once in

Suggestions
By Dietetic
E perts S

SPR1NGT1ME, according to nutri-
ton experts, is one Of the critical
points Of the year in the problem of
proper diet. Winter menus, with all
their high-fuel, heat-producing foods,
begin to approach the uncomfortable,
although the coming heat hasn't
cracked down hard enough to make
heavy meals impossible.
That doesn't mean, they point out,
that you should suddenly switch from
heavier foods to the ethereal dishes
of mid-August. It does mean that you
should begin to taper off.
One thing not to do, dietitians ad-
wise, is to make the sudden switch to
"all-cold" meals. The stomach, they
find, isn't used to sudden change in
any form, and the Winter-long service
Of hot, heavy foods Is something to
bear in mind when you begin to serve
lighter meals. Foods that have easier
digestability, for example, form one
keynote to the preparation of a Spring.
time diet. Serving tea with light
cracker and sweet spread, instead of
heavier drinks and thick cake, is one
answer, suggested by dietetic authori-
ties as method Of tapering of Spring
time meals with a definite vitalizing
effect.
Another pertinent rule to follow is
to introduce, with the service of meats,
those vegetables with high water con-
tent. substituting them for heavier
fried vegetables. Fresh green peas,
for example, have a water percentage
of TAG per cent, and string beans run

Hints About

The Selecting Must Be
Done With Utmost
Consideration.
BY ELSIE PIERCE.

=
pOWDER, in its present reflnements
and delicate colorings, Is product
Of modern science. But histories Of
social customs Of the ancients de- :
scribe the use Of powder made from
grain and applied thickly on the face.
The ancients, 1t seems, dreaded
shine on the nose even as much a.
We do today.
From history we also learn how
much famous beauties depended upon
their powder. Anne Boleyn, Inflated
wife of Henry VIII OF England, used
formula of three parts OF starch
and one part of orris root She de-
pended upon this to such an extent
that-the story goes-on the day be-
fore her death, she remarked to her
ladies in waiting: TT is high time
that the headsman did his work, for =,
have not grain Of powder left, and
the King would doubtless carry his
cruelty to the extent of not allowing .
me any more" &
So much for interesting little high.
lights that history reveals. We are,
after all, concerned with the part
powder plays in the pictorial scheme
for each Of us moderns.
Just what do you require Of your
face powder. What do you expect it
to do for you.
When you select your powder. We
take for granted that above all else
you make certain that it harmonizes
as closely as possible with your natural
skin tone. II you cannot buy a box
ready prepared In the proper shade
for your coloriag, then have the pow
der blended to compliment the deli
cate nuances Of your skin. And, in
considering color, remember that the
light under which you are to appear
must be considered Therefore it be-
comes necessary to have one powder
for bright daylight and another for
evening.
But when you buy powder, color
IS but one Of the many factors you
think about. Texture, for instance, is
important. A very fine, silky sort Of
powder Is preferable for the dry, fine
type Of skin. For the oily type q
slightly heavier powder is better. but
this does not mean a really heavy.
coarse powder, for such a powder
may clog the pores Your powder
should be Smooth" evenly and per-
fectly mixed" and sifted, no lumpy
particles. 1t should adhere to the
skin smoothly, evenly, lastingly. Its
odor should be ever 50 faint. II
there is a definite fragrance to your
face powder, be sure that the scent
harmonizes with that of other toi-
letries and of your favorite personal
perfume or toilet water. Conflicting
odors, superimposed one on the other,
make for heady concoction that is
poor taste indeed. Last of all, re-
rember that in order to keep your
nose from shining, your powder itself
must not shine
Choose your powder with utmost
consideration and care. It is, after
all, the last, lingering lovely touch
to your makeup.

IT'S just part Of the growing
pains" OF Spring, this business Of
getting the hair In condition for
Summer with another permanent
wave Now that the outdoor season
has come again, you can't be hiding
straggly locks under your hat or de-
pending on casual use Of the curling
iron to keep your hair in order
through hot day. Furthermore, you
want that perfect freedom that comes
with the knowledge that you are
ready at a moments notice for game
Of tennis, a motor trip or supper
dance and the assurance that you can
hold your head proudly and look just
as well at the end of your good time
as at the beginning Nothing but
permanent wave can give you this
satisfaction unless you are one OF
those few lucky souls who were born
with curly hair.
So why procrastinate? Make your
appointment early before the days
get hot and then choose your Summer
hats to fit the new coiffure. And
II you are young modern you will
want a modern coiffure turned out
by the most modei-l methods. It was
only about two years ago that one
Of those, the machineless method of
permanent waving, first made its ap-
pearanoe At that time many people
were a little skeptical and waited for
some one else to try it first, so that
they could see the results. But since
its introduction it has won over many
doubters and Is rapidly acquiring
more and more devotees.
THE process Is 80 familiar now that
it is hardly necessary to describe
it. One of its greatest advantages Is
the fact that it can, If necessary, be
given by an experienced operator in
ones home, or hospital where a pa
tient is sufficiently convalescent to
undergo the slightly firing operation
Of blocking the hair and winding it
on the rods. There are instances
where such waves have been given to
patients and the results were dis
tinctly beneficial in improving the
morale and lifting their spirits with
the knowledge that they looked so
much better.
Then the question always arises as
to whether or not this type Of wave
is good for fine hair, white hair or
hair that has been dyed or bleached
The answer is that this wave may be
used on any of these kinds of hair.
Different solutions are used in wrap
ping and the type of hair determines
the kind of solution to be used It Is
