So let's review hair styles for a
bit, new things that will make
you look smart and different. And
please do try them, even if you
go back to the old way after a
few weeks. You owe it to your
new clothes, and to the season.
The Upward Movement
Everything has an upward move
ment, except the page-boy back,
which is good balance for curlS
and sweeps going up on top of
your head. The page-boy seems
to be the smart thing of the mo-
ment for your back hair. And
it's grand to try if you have
enough hair. 1t takes right much,
to sweep down and under just
right. But be warned-it does not
stay in very well, so do not plan
to wear it for more than two or
three days after you've had your
hair done.
The continuous roll or halo
about the head seems to be on
the Wane, as most people think it
looks smarter to have the halo
broken, if they're going to affect
that style. Two curls high on the
head in front, with a back halo"
we shall call it for lack of better
description, is smart and much
more becoming to most people.
Soft, Large Curls
Soft curls that are fat and
SquaShy are much smarter than
tight ringlets, on almost every
head. You'll find the best hair
dressers following the line of your
own head, putting a few curls over
your forehead, sweeping the sides
up into a roll or curls, and doing
the back in various WayS-perhaps
in the page boy for one evening,
then brushing it up into a roll for
the days following. Be sure that
your hair is pulled up and back,
if you're the type to wear it, for
it is much smarter than over your
face. OF course you must be guided
by your own head and face, and
never try things that are utterly
beyond you, or foreign to your
own type. But a clever hairdresser
can adapt almost anything if you
have a good permanent and are
willing to be bit experimental.
Experience will Tell
It's generally best to leave it to
your hairdresser, by the way, for
most of them are so experienced
that they can tell by looking at
you what will be best for you, and
if you try telling them too much,

VETERANS WIDOW
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS duAdAS
mot long ago I read in your
column a letter signed Veterans
Widow She seemed to hold the
service accountable for the fact
that her husband had become .
drunkard. Her letter was full Of
blind fury.
"WhiIe 1 Sympathize with every
wife and mother who has to live
with a drunkard, 1 don't think it's
fair that she should lay her huS-
bands weakness on the Govern
ment and should have expected
them to care for him when alcohol
got the upper hand.
"I think it's un-American and
unpatriOtic to feel that the Gov
eminent is responsible for some
thing it can't control. The trouble
with this soldier was a weak will.
MRS. A. j."
Since the letter signed "Vete-
rams Widow" was published in
this column, we've had scores of
letters from officers, enlisted men,
their wives and others related to
men who were good soldiers and
apparently hard drinkers.
The consensus Of opinion seems
to be that as no business, profeS-
sion or organization employing
men is responsible for their be-
coming alcoholic addicts, why
should the Government be held
responsible.
Veterans hospitals are over
crowded, as a rule, and every bed
is required for men who are gen.
timely i'll, rather than for those
weak-willed brothers who have
good time and see snakes.

"The other day 1 was walking
out with my young grandson in

husband. The yOungster ran to
him eagerly. The situation was
almost too much for us, and ]
think we came near breaking

SOLITARY"
AS you and your former hus-
band seem to have lived down or
discarded those things which
caused the domestic crash, re-
marriage would seem to be a safe
risk.
BOTH LONELY
The siren that caused the trou-
BILE is out of your husbands life,
and you no longer feel the tempta-
ton to get even by being extrava-
CANT. You have both been through
the GethSemane of loneliness, than
which there is nothing harder to
bear in middle age, and which
will not grow less as time goes on.
Your plan of life has been broken,
and neither of you seem to know
what to do with yourself. If you
remarked, you would have home
of your own, which is evidently
what you need, instead of leading
a life of forlorn detachment.
Burnt children sense what is a
safe distance from the fire, sooner
than those who have not been
burned. It would appear, then,
if you and your former husband
remarry, you will know what is
safe to avoid, better than if you
had not been through this ex-
perience.
Never refer to that siren who
was the cause of your divorce in
the first place: then he will be
glad enough to forget your short
comingS, if, like the rest of us,
you have any.
FEW SUCH LETTERS
You ask me what experience
I've had from letters from people
who have been divorced and re.
married. To be quite frank with
you, few such letters have come
to this column.
Many men and women, mis-
mated and utterly wretched in
their first marriages, have chosen
more wisely a second time. But
it has seemed to me that the
reason these second marriages
have been more happy than the
first is because each has gained
more patience and knows enough
to avoid the pitfalls of the first
venture.
Neither of you, probably, would
care to make a home with your

daughter, and the alternative to
that is the lonesome apartment
each of you maintains.
The young grandson is I'm
doubtedly a great bond. If each
of you decides honestly to put
your best into this re+marriage, I
don't see why you would not be
able to make a go Of it.

Inundated

Raleigh, Feb. 8 (AP)-Muddy rivers
of Eastern North Carolina, trimming
in their banks and most areas and
inching out into the countryside at a
few points, sent residents of Happers-
vile and Tarboro and officials of the
insane asylum at Goldsboro into
emergency preparations today.
Lee benson, head of the Weather
Bureau here, said the Nes.-e river
would reach a crest of 25 feet late
today at Goldsboro, where pick and
shovel brigade tried to heighten an
eight-foot dyke protecting the State
Hospital for the Insane. Sufficient
water has already swerved around the
embankment to surround two women S
dormitories at the asylum.
Happersville residents rounded up
clothing and rounded up barnyard
stock and prepared to leave their
homes if the Neuse rises further
benson said a 20-foot crest would
reach there Friday or Saturday.
The Tar river reached a level of
seven feet in flood at Tarboro as
health authorities warned occupants
of Negro shanties surrounded by wa
ter to boil all drinking water and
gave typhoid immunization injections

Nv HENRY AVERILL.

Raleigh, Feb. "a liquor bill, spon-
sored by advocates of control, is
momentarily expected to be brought
onto the floor of the House in the
shape of substitute for the Hutchins
referendum bill. It is being prepared
by a Subcommittee from Judiciary
Number One and will be reported by
that group.
One of the leading, and somewhat
surprising, features of this bill will
be commission of any mention of di-
vision of revenue between State and
counties. There will, in fact, be no
mention of revenue in connection with
the bill.
Strategy by Controllers.
Behind this is a keen bit of strategy
on the part of the controllers. If the
bill comes in without revenue fea-
ture there is nothing mandatory in
House or legislative rules to make it
necessary to read the measure on
three separate days, and if the con-
trollers can muster sufficient strength
as they are confident they can, there
will be nothing to prevent them from
bringing the bill out of committee,
rushing it through three readings and
sending it on it's way to the Senate

Raleigh, Feb. "a North Carolina

hydro-electric plant controversy, has
arisen to plague the already perplexed
legislature here.
Apparently the solons intend to be
as neutral as possible, action of Sen
ate Judiciary committee No. l yester-
day indicates. This group, after hear
ing evidence pro and con, voted to
approve in principle High Points re-
quest that it's power to issue revenue
bonds be extended beyond June Both;
but on the other hand the committee
likewise decided to eliminate from a
pending bill any reference to that
city's rights and powers in the matter
of constructing a hydro-electric plant
in Yadkin county.
The whole thing started with High
Points plan to build a dam on the
borders of Davie and Forsyth coun-
ties, thus flooding some $4,000 acres of
Yadkin county farm land. It was
planned that the city should generate
it's own power to sell to users. For
some years the city has operated a
municipal plant, but has bought power
at wholesale from the Duke Power
company and sold it to citizens.
Nearly $6,OOO,0OO Needed
To construct this dam and plant the
city received a $2,60O,0OO grant from
PWA, Federal agency, and proposed
to issue $3,171O00 of it's own revenue
bonds to complete the project. A citi-
zen brought suit to test the city's
right to issue any bonds in view of
the debt limitation amendment to the
State Constitution adopted last fall.

Washington, Feb. 3-(AP)-The

today $5,OOO,OOO,OOO works pro-

In message transmitted with

'It is planned to develop a long

resources, and to prepare i'm adj

period, provides not only for flooc

Washington, Feb. 3.-(AP) One
last dispute remained today before
the Senate could vote on the bill car
rying funds for flood relief.
Senator Bailey, Democrat, North
Carolina, proposed the $900,00000O re-
lief deficiency bill be amended to re-
quire a certificate of necessity from
states and cities asking Federal aid
for their destitute.
Senator Robinson, Democrat, Ar
kansas, the majority leader sought
quick approval of the relief fund to
replenish WPA resources, which were
being rapidly drained by flood de-
mandS.
Senate leaders looked forward, too,
to tackling the larger problem of a
national flood control program call
ed by Robinson "the most gigantic
task ever undertaken in the United
States"
For this, most proposals followed
one of these forms:
Federal agencies in the chief river
basins to carry out flood control pro-
grams similar to that of the Tennes-
rec Valley Authority.
Spending $3O,OOOOOO to $75,0OO,O0O
each year in building dams, levees
and spillways in areas menaced.
Pressing toward it's vote on the
relief appropriation, the Senate yes
terday rejected the demand that funds
for the unemployed ice increased by
more than $40O,000,000.
