But somehow the houses
that Mr.. and Mrs. Morris saw
below the Mason and Dixon
Line and those in Pennsylvania
and New York were not quite
what they wanted.
AT last in Danvers, Massa-
n chusetts, they found the
house of their dreams. It had
been built in 1854. Its frame
exterior had been sanded in
grey, in the style of its contem-

from one room to another. But,
principally, it had a hallway.

JOB AND PAYROLL
GAINS LARGER THAN
SEASONAL REPORTED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Secre-
tary of Labor Perkins reports that
non agricultural employment in
creased approximately 100000 be-
tween August and September and that
factory payrolls jumped $7,5O0,00O
week. She said that the gains were
larger than seasonal.
Her figures showed an increase in
non-agricultural employment of more
than $4,000 since June, and added
that her statistics did not include cas-
ual workers and others employed in
harvesting crops nor approximately
100000 cannery workers who are not
part of the normal supply.
Despite the reported gains, non-ag-
ricultural employment in September
still was 1874 per cent below Septem-
Der, 1887, and payrolls were 22.6 per
cent below the same month last year.

Labor In Three
More States To
Study Taxation

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Three
more State Federations of Labor
Texas, Kansas, and Colorado have
moved to equip themselves with tax
study committees as have 27 other
states.
BY convention action in Texas and
Kansas, resolutions were passed as
sailing those types of taxation which
will increase living costs or affect la
boris interests as earners and con-
sumers. Their tax committees are in
structed to make pertinent studies
and report to their executive councils.
The Colorado State Federation Ex-
ecutive Council, stirred by an un-
usually heated campaign preceding the
state referendum to be settled election
day on the question of special store
taxation, has just shown fresh in
terest in the taxation problem and ex-
pressed it's desire to cooperate with
other state federations in tax matters.
Resolutions condemning the pro-
posed Patman bill to destroy corporate
chain stores were adopted by Texas
and Arkansas state bodies in a form
similar to that approved by the Hous-
ton convention of the American Fed

British Envoy
Among the
Guests

By Flora Macdonald

Flags of all coun-
tries adorned the tier
of boxes around the May
flower ballroom last night
for the colorful Ball of the
Nations. Gorgeously gowned
women danced to the tunes
of Sidney's music on the arms
of handsome escorts and the
whole affair was decidedly
success.
The receiving line was
headed by Mrs. Howell Moor
head, who was gowned in a
soft shade of blue so becom-
ing to her beautiful white
hair. Next in line was Sc
nora de Castillo Najera, wife
of the Ambassador of Mexi-
co, and she was wearing a
white gown sprinkled with
brilliants. Others greeting
the guests were Nine. Hur-
ban, wife of the Minister of
Czechoslovakia, in a simply
cut silver cloth gown; Sc
nora de DeBayle, wife of the
Minister of Nicaragua, in
soft white satin, and Nine.
Lobo wearing royal blue
satin.
In Receiving Line
Mrs. Clifford Pinchot, wife
of the former Governor Of
Pennsylvania, made an effec-
tive picture with her titan
hair enhanced by a gown Of
gold lame. She wore about
her neck long string of
pearls. Still others in the
line were Countess Roberti,
wife of the Secretary of the
italian Embassy, in a black
frock with Grecian draperies
of beige crepe; Mrs. Joseph
Gray, wife of the Chancellor
of American University, in
black velvet; Mrs. Edgar
Morris, in black lace with a
corsage of orchids; Mrs. Ell
lery Stowell in a deep pur-
pie, and Mrs. Edward Brown
ing Meigs wearing a sequin
gown of electric blue.
Interesting we're the native
dances, one the Baverian Schulz
platter and the other eel Har'
abe" in which Senorita Erma
Castillo Najera, daughter OF
the Mexican Ambassador and
Sonora de Castillo Najera, and
her cousin, Senorita Lupe Da-
villa, participated. They wore
heavily beaded costumes which
were most attractive.
General dancing followed and
later a group of American
square dances were given. In
these Helen Davis, daughter OF
Mr.. Dwight Davis, was among
those who took part. All of the
dancers were dressed in gay
plaids, ginghams and typical
country attire.
