When all good Democrats
gather to do homage to that
outstanding Democrat, Andrew
jackson, on January 8, and
thereby also swelling the funds
Of the Democratic National
Committee from the proceeds Of
the nationwide dinner, there
may be some whose pocketbocks
are not strong enough for the
celebration.
The Woman's National Demo-
cratic Club has plans to care
for any such member. In let

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt
will be her own mannequin at
the Velvet Ball to be held Janu-
ary 6 at the Mayflower Hotel
for the benefit of the Children's
Lunch Fund. When the time
comes for Mrs. Roosevelt's gown
to be modelled, the First Lady
will stand and bow from her
box,
History will repeat itself at
the Ball in the tableaux of the
Presidents Wives in their in
augural gowns, which have been
selected from the outstanding
fashion periods of our history.
The gowns are copied from the
originals in the collection of the
Smithsonian Institution. Gowns
of the famous Queens of Eng
land will also be modelled by
young society matrons and
debutanteS.
The salmon-colored silk dress
of Martha Washington will be
modelled by Miss Emily Lewis
Custis Stevens, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Basil Stevens, of Mont
clair, N. j., and New York. 1t
is most fitting that Miss Stew
ems should represent Martha
Washington as she is a direct
defendant Of Nellie Gusts. The
whole dress is hand painted in
set design, caught at stated IN
tervalS with green jewels. In
the larger spaces one sees all
of the wild flowers of nature,

the smaller spaces are t h Q
numerous insects Of North
America.
TO WEAR YELLOW
Mrs. Lawrence Wood Robert,
jr., chairman of the Velvet Ball
will represent the distinguished
Mrs. James Madison, whose hus-
band was President from 1909
to 1917. It was no less a per"
sonage than Dolly Paine Todd
Madison who changed the mod.
els and manners of her prede-
cessors by letting down the So
cial bars. and accordingly she
was regarded as very demo-
cratic. The gown, which Evie
Robert will model, is a master
piece of the dressmaker's art.
1t belongs to a period known
as the "Sacque" dress period,
and is made of yellow satin bro.
caded elaborately festooned with
sprays of Chinese embroidery.
At the time that this dress was
fashioned Chinese embroidery
was all the rage and seen on
everything.
Miss Marthena williams, who
is great-granddaughter Of the
late President Benjamin Harri.
son, will wear a replica of the
gown of Mrs. James Monroe.
The gown is of the "sacque"
dress period.

velt High School, is the daugh.
ter Of a former Representative
from Ohio and the niece of the
famous Obey Speaks. To cele-
brate her arrival in town, the
Ohio State Society is giving her
tea Tuesday afternoon in the
Queen Elizabeth room at the
Raleigh Hotel, with Senator and
Mrs. Robert Bulkley heading the
receiving line.
One person here who Miss
Speaks Is very anxious to see,
and will, is Colonel Curt Schif-
feler, who was responsible for
the start Of her radio career,
when both he and she were hv-
ing in Columbus, Ohio. At the
time that Miss Speaks started
another young artist, now the
very well known Robert Der
ringer, also began the climb up.
He. too, vas a protege of
Colonel Schiffeler.
Came the time for young
Derringer to make his first ap-
pearance at a gala banquet.
Like most struggling young art
lists, his evening wardrobe
was not what 1t should have
been. Colonel Schiffeler offered
him the loan Of his dress clothes,
an outfit just bought and never
before worn. Derringer ac-
cepted. At that time Colonel
Schiffeler was just the size he
Is now-which is not thin. Der
ringer was-very thin. How.
ever, everything went all right,
but, against the Colonel's wish
that he would, Derringer refused
to wear any suspenders.
Nothing happened until the
last note of an exquisite per-
formance and then, overcome,
no doubt, by the strain of that
evening, the pants collapsed
about the knees Of Mr.. Der
ringer. That was one premiere
that neither Miss Speaks, the
Colonel, nor Derringer has ever
forgotten.

How to Make Better Cough
Remedy Than You Can Buy

|ready-made, and you get four times as
much for your money. It lasts a long
time, never spoils, and children love it.
This is positively the most effective,
quick-acting cough remedy that money
could buy. Instantly, you feel it pene~
trating the air passages. It loosens the
phlegm, soothes the inflamed membranes
and makes breathing easy. You've never
seen its equal fos prompt and pleasing
results.
Pinex is concentrated compound Of
Norway Pine, the most reliable sooths
ing agent for throat and bronchial
membranes. Money refunded il It
doesn't please you in every way.

A Big Saving, and It's So
FaSvl No Cooking!

Cough medicines usually contain a
large quantity of sugar syrup-a good
ingredient, but one which you can cas-
lily make at home. Take 2 cups of gram
ulated sugar and ! cup of water, and
stir few moments until dissolved. No
cooking! No trouble at all.
Onasa Then get from gOrr, q druggist ufs n 2
bottle. and add your syrup. This gives
you a full pint Of truly wonderful med
lcine for coughs due to colds. It is far
better than anything you could buy

Reorganization and extension
Of the Federal Civil Service.
Control of food, drugs and cos
lnetics.
illumination Of child labor.
OPPOSITION to the spoils sys-
tenn, particularly concerning
the appointments Of postmasters.
BACKS RAMSPECK
The league announces it will
continue to campaign actively
for the Ramspec postmasters
bill, passed by the House in the
first session of the present Con-
gress and proposed as a substi.
tute for the McKellar spoilS
measure. The RamSpeck merit
bill would place all poStmasters
under the Civil Service act and
the Office holder would have to
qualify by q non-competitive
examination conducted by the
Civil Service Commission before
he could be appointed subject
to the Civil Service act.
The National Leagues board
Of directors recently went on
record in favor Of a reorganiza-
ton Of the Civil Service Commits
sion to provide for a single ad-
ministrator, with a lay advisory
board, and that selection of the
administrator should be safe
guarded.
FOOD LAW PUSHED
The league will continue its
fight for amendments to the
House version of the Copeland
Food and Drug bill to provide
for listing ingredients on the
labels of foods and medicines.
They also seek legislation for
advertising control by the Food
and Drug Administration instead
Of by the Federal Trade Commits
sion, and for safeguarding the
public against a repetition of
such disasters as the elixir sui
fanilamide deaths of last Sep
ten1ber and october"
In the field of child labor
legislation, the league will con-
tinue to approve a Federal
check on child labor through
prohibition Of shipment of
goods in interstate commerce
from establishments where chill.
dren have been employed.
Also of interest to this group
Is the foreign policy of the
United States. They will watch
all proposed legislation, pre-
pared to support measures pro.
viding executive discretion in
the conduct of foreign policy in
order to facilitate cooperative
effort with other nations to
settle international conflicts. At
temptS to weaken the reciprocal
trade agreement program will
be opposed by the league.
