BANGLE BRACELET
STYLE HICHLICHT
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

In the way of a novelty bangle
bracelet here's one that makes APP
peal to women of discriminating
taste. If you inquire at the jewelry
counter you will find that the bangle
bracelet is a style highlight this
season. One of the cleverest types
yet designed has little gadgets of
all-American inspiration dangling
from slender gilt chain. Exquisite
workmanship marks the motifs in
that each is defined in dainty rhine
stone solid settings. The bangles
consist. of an American eagle,
independence bell, covered wagon,
happy Indian figure, and cunning
as-can-be wee Yankee Doodle
come to town riding on a pony"
This bracelet by Lester Gaba will
add a most pleasing accent to any
costume in that the entire scheme
is carried out with consummate art
istry.

simple statute" which he felt the
courts would uphold.
Mr.. Roosevelt said: "Tax exemp-
tions through the ownership of gov
eminent securities have operated
against the fair or effective collec-
ton of progressive surtaxes. In
deed, think it is fair to say that
these exemptions have violated the
spirit of the tax law itself by actual
ly giving a greater advantage to
those with large incomes than to
those with small incomes.
'The same principles of just tax
alton apply to tax exemptions of Of
fetal salaries. The federal govern
ment does not now levy income
taxes on the hundreds of thousands
of state, county and municipal en-
ployees. Nor do the states, under
existing decisions, levy income
taxes on the salaries of the hum
dreds of thousands of federal en-
ployees. Justice in a great democ-
racy should treat those who earn
their livelihood from government in
the same way as it treats those who
earn their livelihood in private en-
ploy."

X ONRAD HENLEIN, leader of

ten Germans, warned the govern
ment of "war internally or from
the outside in a militant speech
which quarters close to the govern

Fuehrer Adolf Hitler.
Henlein openly proclaimed that
German Naziism is the "guiding
principle" of his Sudetens and de-
manded that Czechoslovakia's for
eign policies be revised immediate
ly as regards Germany.
He warned the Prague govern
ment against placing reliance in its
military alliances with France and
Soviet Russia, and frankly asserted
that Czechoslovakia must cease re-
sisting Germany's ambitions toward

itself offers, consider the style-high
s'looks'' which you may be sure
will make instant appeal, for design
ers are turning out perfectly stun
ming tub frocks this season. Note
the accent on color contrast in each
of the two light outfits shown. This
matter of using dark with light in
sharp contrast is important news.
Because it is champagne color,
because it is a new fabric, congo
cloth to be explicit, and because
the top of the dress is of the same
fabric in chevron stripes of yellow,
royal and polo blue, the model to
the right is noteworthy example
of what's newest for spring and
summer. 1t is perfect choice to
wear in the way of a spectator
sports costume on sunny after
noon.
Very definitely does the other
dress announce the smartness of
dark with light. The manner of COM
bining navy with white as here
shown is characteristic of this sea-
sons new styling. In some instances
the latest dresses 60 fifty-fifty white
or light with dark brown or perhaps
the new copper tone or deep red as
the case may be.
The peasant dirndl full-skirted
models have emerged from play
clothes fashions being shown in the
new spring dresses for street and
general wear. Note the dirndl frock
in the foreground. 1t is a sure
enough winner. Made Of navy linen
this dress with white braid orna-
mentation has the typical high bust
line of the authentic dirndl as worn
by mid-Europe peasants. The
matching kerchief scarf worn on the
head is a young fashion that persists
among the sorority of school age
gives the picturesque peasant at
mosphere and is fattering in the
extreme.

court in a decision reversing his
order of June IA, 1888, fixing maxi

The courts opinion, written by

Twelfth Century Lending
Glamor to Glove Fashions

The fine glove, tabards and even
shields used by Robins noblemen
enemies are contributing ideas to
the early spring style picture. The
gloves all have picturesque gaunt-
let's and many Of the finer ones are
embroidered in silver or gold.
This is an idea which should bios
som around cocktail time or even
after dinner. The tabard of the
Twelfth century was long, oblong
piece of cloth which had hole cut
in the center. The head was thrust
through the hole, the waistline was
girded and the result was dashing
tunic. Usually the front of these
were deliberately embroidered in
metallic thread. The tabard is a
clever way to dress up lounging
pajamas or to give tunic effect to
any gown.

tee on relief and unemployment sub
mitted by Chairman Byrnes.
At the time the report came in,
Harry Hopkins, WPA administrator,
was telling the house appropriations
committee, holding hearings on the
ADMINISTRATORS recovery-relief pro-
gram, that the proposed 81, $50, 0OO,-
600 relief appropriation would en-
able 200, 900 to be added to federal
aid rolls, bringing the total number
to $500, 900 persons.
This money, he said, would last
only for the first seven months of
the coming fiscal year.
The senate committee report in
general absolved the WPA from
charges of graft. waste and ineffi-
cheney, but in some respects il
sharply criticized the administra-
tons relief policies.
To the discontinue of administra.
ton leaders, the committee recon-
mended that the senate's revenue

gains tax be adopted as a major aid
to economic recovery. Retention of
those taxes is. in the house bill
backed by President Roosevelt.

The air is rife with news in re-
gard to the revival of Gibson-girl
fashions. And if you think there is
any doubt as to the reality of this
style movement see here pictured a
lady of fashion, year 1888, as will
grace the immediate spring and
summer style scene. The rough
straw sailor hat with huge decora-
tive pin and crisp veil is true to an
honest-to-goodness original Gibson
type. The demure blouse of shadow
printed Swiss organdie with cascad-
ing jabot frill and high-tucked band
collar is reminiscent of the early
l9O0's. The smart wool suit in the
picture has straight navy skirt
with action pleats at front and back.
The fitted jacket which she carries
is of matching blue wool fabric,
chalk-striped in white.

Chemurqy for Production

NJ EMBERS of the National Farm
lvA Chemurgic council, holding
their fourth annual meeting in Oma-
ha, challenged the view Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the country's
economic troubles are due to over
production.
"There need be no limits" said
Wheeler McMillen, editor of Coun-
try Home and president of the coun-
Gil, in his opening address, ito the
wealth we can produce. Freeing
farmers from the narrowness of
food and export markets, the soil
can be enabled to produce houses
for the ill-housed and the innumer-
able desires of great free peo-
pie. The processes of production
can create the purchasing power
for consumption.
SIN no other way than by the Gre
alton of wealth can there be wealth
for all. Chemurgy calls, not upon
government, but on the triple pow
ers of agriculture, industry and sci
ence. We reject the cowardly coun-
sells of national poverty and pessi-
mism. We propose to apply science
and capital and labor to the soil
and its products. Chemurgy's
challenge to Americans is chal-
lenge to share in wealth by creating
wealth."

manded that administration leaders
stop making "extravagant utter
ances, in which whole classes of
people are insulted and nameless in
dividuals are lambasted over the ra-
dio instead of being prosecuted in
the courts"
They then offered these further
suggestions for immediate action:
l. Repeal of the undistributed
profits tax and modification of the
capital gains tax as proposed in the
senate tax bill and general tax re-
duction wherever possible.
2. Encourage that which is good in
business.
8. Stop congress from wasting its
time" over consideration of "such
schemes as the Supreme court en-
largement bill and the govern
ment reorganization bill and allow
the legislators. to concentrate on
the relief and unemployment prob
lem.
4. Eliminate tax exempt securities
and reduce unnecessary and bur-
densorne social security taxes.
S. A true unemployment census
should be taken to serve as basis
for scientific treatment Of the ques-
ton Of wages and hours on a ma
tional scale.
6. End executive discretion in tar
iff matters and return to congress
the control Of the currency.
z. Reorganization of the agencies
