on, Tn lowered wool cnAlllS. k1eE plaid wool skirt and white shirt probably will be accompanied by a velveteen bolero. At least one of her princess frocks will be of the softest, on-scratchy flannel imaginable and will be as simple to wash and press as any cotton number in her wardrobe.
 Her coat will be a classic, double breasted reefer. This is big tweed season for children's coats. Ond you might consider bold herringbone wool with bright hubs. There are box coats, too, of course, and @ few bloused back varieties for slight old- CT girls.
 Naturally, the old saying, the shorter her dress, the smarter the child, still is true. And full-length stockings are something she just doesn't wear at all. At least, not until the weather gets very cold. The newest hats for children include poke shapes, off-the-face rolls and higher crowned version. Other &C., cessories that little girl like include small handbags that match belts or shoes or bags and miniature hand- kerchief with first names embroid- cred on in bright colors.
 COLLEGIATE
 SWEATER AND SKIRT
 New looking are outfits which in- clude sweaters with skirts dyed to match. For winter months, the school girls wardrobe, like her older coed sisters, can very well be built on the sweater and swirt theme. One particularly lovely ensemble includes a plaid skirt with teal blue the pre- dominating color and a lovely crew neck sweater in & warm shade of beige with teal blue edging at neck line, sleeves and around the bottom.
 A pretty plaid gingham dirndl has hand-embroidered, white linen collar, cuffs and pocket edgings and, on the bodice, bias bands which simulate the lines of bolero jacket Another dirndl, in green wool chal- lis with pink and yellow flowers, has a small collar entirely covered with challis flowers cut from the print.
 Among the princess models, one of pale yellow flannel with white linen collar and cuffs Is outstanding. And one of opure white linen with embroidered collar of self material is suggested for Sunday.
 The nautical theme is prevalent, too with the majority of the de- signers of children's clothes show ing several sailor dresses in new col lections. One nice model, of navy blue percale, has the conventional white braid, authentic middy collar and a bright red tie.

SOCIAL SECURITY MOVES AHEAD

Last evening in speaking to the American people on the third anniversary of the passage ot the Soca Security Act President Roosevelt stressed a point which is often overlooked when discussion comes up on the new law That is that America is only starting its program of social legislation.
 The critics, and most of us can be included Ill that class at some time or other find much to be desired in certain portions of the Social Security Act But as the President stated in his address social secur ity legislation is only in its infancy in this country There are many features of the present law which undoubtedly will be improved when experience has taught where such improvements be made with benefit to those effected
 And as MT Roosevelt predicted, it will be ex- tended At the present time he pointed out the Act applies only about third of the population of the nation It necessarily must be extended to cover those who do not now come under its pro- visions if the full purpose of social legislation is to be achieved And while this is being done adjustments will be made to make the various features of the Act more adaptable to complex civilization
 It is easy criticize almost any piece of legisla- tion It is particularly easy to do so when that egs- ation is new and most of know very little about it. except perhaps that the thought back of it appears to be fairly sound Social security legislation falls in the latter category As we come to know more about its actual effect will opportunities for improving its provisions; for expanding the program to more universally apply
 Fortunately, most of us are convinced that social legislation in some form is absolutely necessary to meet the demands of modern civilization. On this accepted premise as a progressive nation we can move ahead to perfect legislation which will meet our changing needs. great step forward has been made in initiating the present Social Security Act As the President stated it start toward legisa- ton which will bring degree of material security to all the people the weak well as the strong.

ACRES OF DIAMONDS

Lawyers and Labor
(New York World Telegram

(New York Word-Telegram)
 There are about 16O00O lawyers in the country, of whom some 5000 attended the American Bar Assn convention at Cleveland and of whom less than 100 sat in the general assembly session which approved the resolutions brought by the Resolutions Committee.
 That is the way conventions usually good thing to keep in mind when reading about how this that association goes record for against something other Yet it is reason for not giving respectful attention to the collective opinions pressed by the energetic minority that does the work of a convention
 One resolution-we'l comment on only one today observes that the Wagner Labor Relations Act, which was supposed to promote industrial peace, has instead stirred discord and suggests that the law be amended to give fairer break to employers. Our opinion has been that is in the National Labor Relations Board and its agents-and not the law where amendment and revision most needed.
 The Bar Association resolution suggests that em- ployers well as employees should be permitted to lodge complaints with the Labor Board The ing is not altogether clear but presume that refers to giving employers well employees the right to petition the board to hold elections to determine who represents the majority of workers in a given plant.
 We never have been able to see any flaws in that proposition We think an employer should have the right to ask the Labor Board to conduct election his plant to determine whether any union. which union represents majority that he may get col lective bargaining negotiations under way with minimum of disruption.
 Yet it is important to remember that there is nothing in the Wagner law itself which forbids an employer to ask for election. That prohibition is in the rules and regulations promulgated by the NLRB
 Unless the press dispatches grossly incom- pete this resolution failed say all that should have been said For it dealt with how mutual cooperation is needed to solve employer employee problems. And the Wagner Act and the Labor Board certainly are not alone to blame for the class antagonism that has arisen Some lopsdedness there yes, but equally at of employers, acting advice of eminent counsel
 great many corporation lawyers held from the start that the Wagner Act not constitutional and some of them apparently have not yet forgiven the Supreme Court for ruling contrariwise Some of them continue to guide employers in policy of begerent resistance to the whole purpose of the law That att tude is not helping to make conditions better
 The Bar Association resolution might well have included few remonstranceS directed at some of it's own members.

Charles Howard
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record)
 American labor has lost of it's most intelligent and capable leaders in the death of Charles P Howard president of the International Typographical Union
 His union for many years has been one Of the strongest in the country. It has won, usually by peaceful means, very high wage scale and far above average working conditions It's membership is com- posed of especially skilled craftsmen-theyre some times called the "Aristocrats of Labor.
 Thus MT Howard could have led an easy life administering the affairs of his great union which has always operated smoothly. But his thoughts turned to the unsked unorganized laborerS. When John L.. Lewis formed his Committee for Industrial Organization MT Howard at his side helping with his influence and talents to organize steel motors and other heavy industry.
 Perhaps that hastened his end For, though MT. Howard did try to bring the typographical union from the AFT, into CIO he alenated many of the rank and file of his union by his activities in behalf of CIO He must have been that his new role would bring disfavor in his organization It probably was no surprise to him when he was de- feaed for reelection in May after serving pres- dent for twelve years
 It was the case of courageous putting principles he believed right above his personal popu- larity Even his opponents in the ITU. must recog- nize the greatness of such character Charles P. Howard wrote honorable chapter in the history of American labor

 This should be a fairly fortunate day in planetary direction, accord ing to astrology.
 Merchants and manufacturers are subject to stimulating influ- ences. Access of confidence in a temporary return of prosperity IS likely in certain industries.
 The stars seem to smile upon the men and women who rule the des- tinies of others. Persons who hold positions in the Sun should bene- fit today.
 Good news affecting the nation is presaged, but there may be an et- fort to niislead or deceive Ameri- can diplomats and statesmen.
 The signs for many weeks have indicated the unexpected in inter- national developments which will have far-reaching effects
 Conditions in Jerusalem, where conflicts between men of varying religious faiths have caused blood shed, will not improve next month. Secret help from outside sources may be received by the Arabs who will cause continued trouble.
 Because an epidemic is foretold for the autumn astrologers empha- size the importance of care in diet and avoidance of extreme fatigue.
 Death of a national leader who will succumb to the effects of sum- mer weather is prognosticated. Many changes are foretold for Con- gress when it again convenes.

 YOU SAID T

EVANSTON, H., Aug. 16-If you want to know how long it takes a train to run between Indian Pond and Oakland, Me, or between Oak land, Cal, and Del Rio, Texas, ask Ralph Ball, Northwestern Univer- sity attorney. That's his hobby.
 He knows the reason for start ing, running and arrival times on practically every one of the 139 Glass 1" or large railroads in the United States and of many rail- roads in Europe. He knows, too, how the trains operate on 436 shortline railroads in the United States, with reasons for their pas senger or mail connections.
 The attorney started this hobby at the age of 12 when he began routing his fathers business trips out of Omaha, Neb. It has been his hobby ever since.

Gray today approved P. w. A. al
lotment of 100000 as requested by
the Commissioners.
Expenditure of this sum not only
Will improve the water works at the
penal institutions. it was said, but
also will do much to halt the dis
charge OF raw sewage into Occoquan
Creek, which adds to the pollution Of
the Potomac below Washington.
The allotment is for the eighth prof.
ect sponsored in the Commissioners
construction program, for which the
P. w. A. to date has set aside s6,231.-
625 on basis of IS per cent grants
and S5 per cent in loans. For the
WORK at Lorton and oaful,an the
Federal agency will contribute $685.
600 and lend the District $l65.00o.
Secretary 1ckes was en- route West

Seattle, Wash. on August 3 for an
onicial inspection trip to Alaska. Dur
ing his absence. Mr.. Gray, his chief
Lieutenant in the P. w. A., will have
direct charge of the spending-lending
program. which already exceeds ST.

tions to the sewage treatment plant
at Lorton to correct conditions which

to lessen the pollution in the Potomac.
The more than s5,00O00O expended
for a new sewage treatment plant in
the District, it was said, cannot deal
effectively with the problem until
