Every Woman Should
Like to Look Well
Take the case of a young girl
whom | know. She suffered a col
lapse of nerves from financial re-
verses and disappointment in a love
affair. She was talented and well
educated. During normal health she
was fastidious, but once her nerves
gave way, she let herself go. Her
hair was unkempt. her skin blotchy,
her clothes untidy. She became so
respondent that she would stand for
hours with her face turned toward a
WALL
Friends, and her physician failed
to pull this girl back to health. At
last psychologist succeeded in
winning her confidence. He insisted
upon regular meals, daily duties.
hours of sleep, and (this is where
vanity enters) he insisted that each
morning and night she sit before her
mirror and go through systematic
beauty routine.
He convinced her that happiness
was in store for her if she would
make the most of herself. He told
her she possessed both beauty and
charm. Gradually he made her live
up to these compliments.
In about three months that girl
was cured. She is now happily mar
ried Ito a new beauD and is sue
cessfully coping with a prominent
social position! What happened?
Her normal pride in her personal
appearance had been restored!
So don't let a Grundy deprive you
of your vanity case and what it rep
resents. Hold on to it tightly and
make it serve you! Be assured that
meticulous beauty gets far more
out of life than drab, disheart-
ened female!

The Mid-City Citizens Association,
which once indorsed the Thomas Circle
change as trafic safety measure, Is
circulating petition against it now,
because Of disclosure that 1t involves
widening Of Massachusetts avenue and
destruction Of fine trees which have
become a landmark there. The peti-
ton will be presented to the Commits
sioners and to Secretary Ickes, it is
understood.
The Manor Park Citizens Associa-
ton expressed disapproval Of the
Thomas Circle and Dupont Circle
underpasses before the Senate Appro-
priations Committee on the grounds
that the proposals were premature
and that before large sums were ex-
pended on "unsightly common turn
pixies or underpasses in the center of
the Nations Capital" efforts should
be made to work out q plan of surface
modernization Of the circles.
Meanwhile Capt. H. G. Whitehurst,

ELECTED ADVISERS
PROPOSEDFORD.C.
Dirksen Suggests Group to
Sit With Congress on
Local Legislation.
By JAMES r. CHINN.

Creation of an elected semi-official
advisory council for the District, en-
powered to meet and confer with
congressional committees on all local
legislation. was urged last night by
Representative Dirksen, Republican.
Of Illinois, ranking minority member
Of the House District Committee.
Mr.. Dirksen suggested that the
council might hold plebiscites, similar
to the recent one on local suffrage
and national representation, to ascer-
tain the views of District residents
on proposed local bills.
Mr.. Dirksen believes the council
members should be elected in a
plebiScite conducted by the Commits
sioners, and its organization completed
in time to function when the new Con-
gress convenes in January.
Each section Of Washington-the
Northwest, Northeast, Southeast and
Southwest-would have one repre-
sentative on the council. Mr.. Dirk
sen said council that had more
than four members would be "un-

one section Of the city would not
have unfair advantage over another
in the number of representatives.
Legislation Not Necessary.
Mr.. Dirksen also recommended that
the council be given a semi official
status, and allowed to sit with both
the House and Senate District Com
mittees at all meetings. Legislation
will not be necessary, he said, to
create the council or to give it semi
omcial recognition.
Il hope by the time Congress re-
turns the Commissioners will have
taken steps to create the council" he
declared. The congressional COM
mittees that handle District legis-
lation sorely need the advice of such
a council. And I am confident the
District will get better legislation.
Under present conditions, all that
the committees get are conflicting
views, from organizations that do not
truly represent the sentiment of the
people of the District. Past expert

SURVEYS START
ON WAGE SCALES
Pay Rates Due to Be in
Shape for Industry
November !.
BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Appointment of some of the ma jor
industry committees and speedy pub
lie hearings to determine the wage
floor for those industries will follow
quickly on selection of the administra-
tor for the wage-hour law, it was in
dicated yesterday as the Labor Depart
ment geared itself for the task of
handling this reaching New Deal
enactment.
Vested with the administrative re-
sponsibility, although special section
is to be established and an administra-
tor chosen by the President, the Labor
Department already has launched
preliminary studies through its Bureau
of Labor Statistics with the intention
of having available within the next
few weeks sufficient information to
set up the authorized conference
groups and get the hearings under
way early in July.
While there has been no authorita-
tive information yet as to the choice
for the administrators Job, the fact
the ultimate responsibility rests on
the Secretary of Labor clears the way
for existing bureaus of that depart
ment to undertake preliminary SIR
veys without awaiting establishment

Scales Mapped in Advance.
Presumably, the result will be that
although the law does not become ef-
fective until 120 days after being
signed by the President, meaning that
the wage and hour standards will not
be obligatory much before November
/, the wage scales to be applied to
many important industries should be
in working shape comfortably in ad-
vance of that date. Such scales in
many cases undoubtedly will have a
minimum above the basic Is cents per
hour in the law.
Despite utilization of existing facil-
tiles of the Labor Department wher-
ever possible, however, this speeding
up process and the refusal of Con-
gress to meet the full budget request
submitted makes it almost certain that

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission has approved

said yesterday that detailed plans are
not yet available for study. Mr.. Nolen
pointed out to the commission Friday
that no opportunity has been afforded
the commission for as thorough q
study Of the Thomas Circle project
as was made Of the proposed Dupont

Instead Of appropriating for the

A special session of Congress in Sep
tember Is certain, In the opinion Of
some Democratic leaders lingering in
Washington, unless President Roose-
velt's lending-spending, pump-prim-
ing program is quickly effective.
These leaders pick out two possible
contributing causes for a special ses-
sion call. One Is feeling of growing
unrest and dissatisfaction in the great
farming areas Of the Middle West.
The other is perhaps more problem
atical-the possible collapse Of some
Of the railroads, bringing with 1t the
loss OF employment to many workers.
If conditions become worse and there
Is grave danger of defeat for Demo-
cratic congressional candidates in a
large number of districts, the time
to act will be before the elections in
November, not after, it is pointed out.
To wait until after the elections in
such an event would be like closing the
stable door after the horse had been
stolen. so far as political advantage
Is concerned.
Roosevelt Knows Situation.
President Roosevelt is fully aware
OF the situation, it was said yesterday.
The administration will watch care
fully during the next two months the
trends, both economic and political.
1t is the hope of the administration
that the vast program of lending and
spending, authorized by Congress in
It's closing sessions, will materially
affect both industry and agriculture
and result in business Improvement.
That program is to be launched as
speedily as possible. However, it re-
quires time to get huge funds rolling.
There were two causes, Democrats
discussing this situation said yester-
day, which impelled a prompt ad-
Journment Of Congress last week. The
first was the desire of members of
the House and Senate to get back to
their districts and States and into
their campaigns for denomination.
The second was the dseire Of the
administration to avoid a movement
that was gaining headway for tnfla-
tionary legislation. q
1t was well understood that II Con-
gress undertook legislation to assist
the railroads, the session might have
run ON for another week or even two
weeks.

idea for an anchor to windward-the

A few hours after the body Of

broken, about 80 miles away.
His bicycle lay across the body
which was found by three Negroes
behind an old shack about half mile

Police investigated the possibility
he may have been the victim of a
hit-and-run driver. The injuries,
they said, may have also been caused
by fall from the bicycle or he may
have been slain. Sheriff Roy s. Mel

Woman Staying Puzzles.
VIENNA, Md, June 18 R.-Police
investigating the rural murder" case
here turned tonight to a theory that
the woman found bound and weighted
down in the Nanticoke River was killed
elsewhere and brought here under
the slayer's hopes the body would not
be found.
Authorities guessed that the murder
had occurred on a farm because the
woman's hands and feet were bound
with baling wire and binder twine
and because her body had been sunk
IN the water by four plough shares,
readily available IN rural communities.
Sheriff Charles H. Truitt said the
death of the woman, who would have
become a mother in few months,
was "a plain case Of murder" DR..
L. A. Rademaker said there was no
water in her lungs, showing she was
dead before she was thrown into 5
feet Of water and that marks on her
scalp indicated she died OF q blow
on the head.
Bound With Heavy Twine.
The. woman's hands and feet were
bound with the heavy twine used on
harvesting. machines to tie sheafs Of
wheat. The bonds on the wrists were
loose, the sheriff reported, but those
on the feet were tight. "A length OF
baling wire was twisted around her
neck and attached to two plough
shares-a, similar length held two
others to her feet. .
Sheriff Truitt said the condition
OF the body, which had been IN the
water for nearly a week, made identi-
fication difficult
No women have been reported miss
ing in the sparsely settled section
where the woman was found and the
sherifis of the adjoining counties said
