SLIM LINES FOR NATIONS

Pattern 1892: This versatile jack
ct frock, so %fattering and service
able for the matron's wardrobe,
achieves a pleasant illusion of Slim
ness in all it's clever lines. The SIM
ply cut jacket hangs loosely TO leave
the hip line underlined and offers a
choice of full length or three-quar-
ter length sleeves.
The p~anelled skirt is definitely
slenderizing and the unusual neck
line of the dress is particularly in
teresting and very becoming, with a
softly draped collar falling into a
graceful jabot beneath the narrow
band.
Made of silk or flannel or light
weight wool with light or dark con-
trast in the collar and jabot, this
superbly styled ensemble will see
you through till summer. You'll
never tire of its engaging simplicity,
and you can make it quickly-and
inexpensively.

DELAY BY FORD
ON new AUTOS
is BLOW TO Clio
Offsets Union Drive in
Dearborn Plant

DETROIT, Dec. 16 GN.S).
Henry Ford, by delaying volume
production on his 1888 models. was
dealing a deft, triple blow to the
CIO today.
Whether or not this was planned
strategy by Ford in his battle
against the CLOS United Automo-
bile Workers Union was not known.
Ford officials refused comment.
But these facts remained:
First, most Ford workers will
have steady employment during
the Christmas season when work
erS in many other plants will
either be laid-off or on part time.
FINANCES UNFAVORABLE
Secondly, the increase in Ford
production comes at a time when
the UAW may be pinched by de-
clining dues payment and unable
financially to move against Ford.
Thirdly, because of the business
recession, it was doubtful whether
public sentiment would support a
Widespread strike aginst Ford at
the present time.
STOCKS UP PARTS
Part of the union strategy
against Ford, according to Rich
ard T. FrankenSteen, assistant
UAW president in charge of the
Ford drive, may be to call strikes
among workers in plants supply
ing Ford with parts in order to
stop production at the vast main
Ford plant in Dearborn employ
ing 10000.
However, Ford officials antici-
pated such a move, it was learned.
From a source within the union
itself came a report that a firm
which supplies Ford with wheels
had a two-months supply stored
in a warehouse at Jackson, Mich.
They could be shipped into the
Dearborn plant, by either rail
or water, without being routed
through Detroit at all.
Other parts Suppliers were be-
lieved to have taken similar pre-
cautions.

GAS TAX FUNDS ARE FOR ROAD
USE
Action OF Federal Authorities Put
Challenge OF Tax Plan
Before Legislature


Before Legislature
Recent announcement of the with
holding Of Federal Road funds due to
over-diversion of gas tax money of
Maryland from road uses should be
warning to legislators and those in
charge of tax spending, that gas tax
money should be used for road pur-
poses and no others, said Harry H.
Nuttle, president of the Maryland
Farm Bureau in commenting on the
results Of the announced Withholding
of these funds. Maryland's road
problem, already acute, now becomes
considerably worse by action of the
Federal authorities, he states.
Organized farmers were anon <
the first to advocate tax on gaso-
line for read purposes" Mr.. Mutt,
says. "In some states organized
farmers fought for gasoline tax laws
in the face of great opposition. Thev
were supported in their belief of the
fairness of the tax by the fact that
| farmers had often carried as much "a
so or more percent of the cost of
building and maintaining roads on
which they furnished only from 12
to Is per cent of the traffic. The"
believed that those who used the
roads should pay major portion of
their construction cost and up keep"
1t apparently is the ease of collec-
ton which has led to difficulties in
the misuse of gas tax money, Mr..
Nuttle believes. While some COM
plants have been made, ease of Sc
curing payments and low cost of COL
lection have been chief factors in
making the gasoline tax a favored
one with legislators and tax spenders,
he reports.
Maryland is VIGOROUSLY behind
the standard of other states in its
through highway SYSTEM" Mr.. Nuttle
adds. "Only a small percentage of
farmers of the state, despite all Ga
the money which has been spent
have roads available to their farms
which are disable all year. The re
cent action of Federal authorize
only gives further weight to the de-
mands of farm organization that the
present Assembly at Annapolis face
the issue of taxation squarely, and
work out a complete and fair system
of taxation rather than a patched-up
emergency plan such as we have had
in the past"

INVESTIGATING AvoNDALE FIRE

An investigation is being made to
determine the possibility of arson in
connection with the destruction b.
fire of large frame warehouse own
ed by the Passmore Supply Company
at Avondale, Pa, two weeks ago.
The blaze caused loss to property
and contents estimated at $25, 900.
officials were prompted to an in
vestigation when they were told by a
young girl who lived near the ware
house, that two men ran away from
the direction of the building a short
time before the alarm was given. 1t
was also considered significant that
it was the third fire to be discovered
there within the past several months.
The Passmore Supply Co. is a sub
sidiary of the Diamond Ice and Coil
Company, of Wilmington. The de-
stroyed warehouse consisted of an old
building and new section the size
of the original one. 1t was used 10
store feed, lumber, roofing paper
hardware and other products.
