With all the emphasis on youth
and beauty, more and more women
are dyeing their hair. Blondes, red
heads and brunettes have all agreed
that in many cases nature can and
should be improved upon. Gone is
the day when dyed hair was so OBJ
vious that it defeated its purpose.
With the new scientific improve
ments in hair-coloring anyone can
have youthful, Manufacturing hair
with minimum of time and trou-
BILE.
Many people feel that once they
have dyed their. hair they have let
themselves in for a lifelong job
keeping it "touched-up." This, of
course, is ridiculous. Surely you
don't begrudge the time you give to
your shampoo. Re-touching with
hair cOloring need be done much
less often, and takes very little
longer. The frequency of these
treatments depends upon how fast
your hair grows. Some people find
that added color is necessary at the
roots of the hair every three weeks,
others can wait six weeks or more.
AT any rate, it is well worth the
added time.
Please do not think that fail to
see the beauty Of some white or
grazing hair. White hair softens
an older face and forms a halo
around it. 1t gives one an elderly
and benign look which is most at
tractive in a grandmother. But to
the younger woman, grandmotherli-
ness is hardly an effect to be sought
after. There is nothing more drab

Officials Say Thought Is
To Help Private Business

It is only fair to report that
the top officials in the government
say there is no intention to use these
funds as was done through the Pub
lie Works administration. There is,
they say, no thought of discourag-
ing private business; the thought is
to help private business. But it is
pointed out, meanwhile, that the
funds which are planned to be used
In this program will be under the
control of half a dozen different
agencies. Those who know the set
up in the federal government rec
ognize this fact as important. IT
means this: Every agency of the
federal government always has
sought and always will seek to per-
petuate itself, to expand its power
and its functions. Give it hun
dred millions or so to play with.
and then express any doubt. if vol,
can, that its officials will overlook
any spot where they can boost their
own importance. Truly, that would
be too much to expect.
Then, give consideration to the
fact that the current lending pro-
posal contemplates expanding the
original Hoover-initiated program
into fields of loaning not hitherto
occupied by government agency.
Set-hquidating highways, toll
bridges, purchase of railway equip
ment, construction of more electric
lines, to name only few, are fields
where the sloven hand of govern

SERIOUS BUSINESS

was a serious business with
primitive man and it seems
he did not have the difficulty
in getting them. He used
various methods of fishing,
with bone hooks and flint
spears. Fancy fixings was to
come later on. But we re-
member the necessity of fish
ing for the provider in the
early days, so today we find
families where it is a serious
business. In many instances
the streams afford the fam
lily without a job, a dinner

With the many fish stories
flooding local markets and
wiseacres giving too much
advice on how to catch them,
we pause to give more seri-
GUS thought to the subject.
There are lots of inhabitants
who fish merely for the sport
of the thing. Others because
a catch means cutting down
on the grocery bill.
The reason the first
humans made this fishing of
streams and lakes was not
for the sport but because it
was an important item of
food. Pounds of fish meant
a satisfied appetite and not
an entertaining story. It

a number of years ago for what
turned out to be the IVA, he and
all other sponsors of that socialistic
government-owned power project
shouted denials all over the place
when it was charged they intended
to put the government deeper into
the field of private business. All
they wanted to do, they insisted,
was to develop a government power
plant that would serve to measure
profits of private companies. They
argued that this experiment would
show the power companies were
taking too much profit out of the
hides of consumers of electricity.
They said that if this were not
true, the iva would be a blessing
to private ownership.
What happened? The answer is
pretty well known. IVA began
competing with private companies
wherever it could get in the field
against them. Its means of enter
ing some of the fields of competi-
ton were of the rottenest type.
On top of that came the opera
tons Of Secretary Ickes, and his
public works administration. Mr..
Ickes wanted to see more and bet
ter publicly owned power plants. He
tried, and is still trying, to make
power plants grow where power
plants never grew before-all from
money loaned by the government.
Throughout the nation, therefore,
are scores of power plants, small
as well as large, that were forced
to sell out to the competing plant,
financed by Uncle Sam, and the in
vestors got what the little boy shot
at. IVA, itself, has driven flocks
OF them out of the field and has ne
gotiated to buy one of the great
privately owned systems that could
not sell in competition with the gov
eminent octopus which has no taxes
to pay and borrows money on gov
ernment-backed bonds.

Bruckarts Washington Digest
Mixed Reaction Created by
Huge Money Lending Program
Some Legislators Shout Haleuiahs Others Are Bitter in
Opposition to What They See Another Gigantic
Flop; Government Credit Menaced!
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg WASHINGTON. D. C.

WASHINGTON RooSe.
welt has asked congress for approx
al of another gigantic money lend
ing program. He wants to put out
$500, 100000 as a "stimulant to
business" He wants to start right
away and he wants to keep the
money pouring into sinkholes
through the summer and fall and
winter and spring and next sum-
mer, too.
The President is not proposing
government spending, as distin-
guished from government lending.
That is important. While it has
been shown by the experiences of
the last half dozen years that this
spending idea is just as successful
as trying to pull ones self up by
ones boot straps, those who favor
the lending program say this meth
cd of bringing about recovery has
not yet been fully tested. The bril-
hant-minded, self-appointed saviors
of America, therefore, are out to
prove that government cash can end
depression.
Arrival of the Presidents letter
at the Capitol created quite mixed
reaction. Some members shouted
their halleluiahs of more mamma for
the spawning ground for votes. 9th
ers expressed approval of parts of
the gigantic outpouring of cash and
objected to other items of the pro-
gram. The third group on capitol
hill at once voiced their wholeheart-
ed opposition to the scheme, offer
ing several reasons why they could
not support the President.
Nearly everything that is done in
the national government is tinged
with or stepped in politics. So the
political phases Immediately were
stressed by the opponents of the
program, and they are putting more
steam behind their attacks as the
days 60 by. Some of these men,
bers are objecting to further OUTLAWS
by the government because they
fear that government credit is about
to crack any way, and they predict
the newest presidential plan will
seriously endanger the govern
ment's financial stability. The other
group of oppositionists take a
brutal position.

Say Roosevelt 10 Paving
Way for His denomination

They say Mr.. Roosevelt is pro-
posing this new lending program
now in order to pave the way for
his denomination to a third term in
the White House. l expect that we
will hear more of this aspect of the
situation as the debate develops on
the floors Of the house and senate.
There Is every reason to believe
that the President will obtain an
proval for most of his program. He
may not get it all, but when it comes
to getting a legislative program
through congress, nothing equals the
distribution of money as bait.
Thus, it appears to me that we
can treat the proposition from the
standpoint of what will come from
the program in the way of beneficial
results, if any, and to find, if pos
sible, what the long range effect will
be.
First, let me recall that during
the administration of Herbert Hoov-
er, when the present depression first
fastened its fangs on our economic
structure, there was the first ma
jor outpouring of government funds.
The Hoover thought was to s.imu.
late business by lending money and
by srending for public constr On.

Soreu ''Sef-liquidating projects for
which federal cash would be loaned
the idea being that a sef-liquidat-
ing project would earn enough
money to pay off the government
loan. That was the way the recon-
struction finance corporation came
into being, and that was the greatest
mistake of the early days of the
world depression insofar as our ma
ton is concerned.
Well, the Hoover administration
promoted loans for self-liquidating
projects in big way. AS a stimu-
liant of business, the plan was a
magnificent flop. The current pro-
gram, being modelled exactly as
Herbert Hoover designed the first
one, also will be a glorious flop.
There is, as matter of fact, not
one bit of difference between the
new Roosevelt program and the fu-
tile move in the Hoover day.
FelO Haze Confidence in
Policies of Government
Whether this government lending
idea is sponsored by Republicans or
Democrats, by Communists or Fas-
cists, the result is bound to be the
same as far as accomplishing any,
thing toward business revival. BY
its very nature, government lending
creates a doubt in the minds of
every one whether they recognize
it just that way or not. The feeling
that most every one gets is mani
fest in the form of a question: well.
where are we headed when condi-
tons are so bad that the United
States treasury has to supply money
upon which business operates?
Which, to my way of thinking. is
simply saying that few, if any, per-
sons have confidence il the policies
of their government. 1t was dis
tinctly true in the Hoover admins
tration, and think it is equally true
in the Roosevelt administration.
But l want to go deeper into this
problem. There is something more
that we ought to think about, and il
makes me shudder to talk about
the possibilities inherent in moves
OF this kind by a democracy.
Mr.. Roosevelt says that. without
a doubt, all Of this money that he
proposes to lend will be paid back
He said in his message on the sub
Ject that there would be no loans
approved unless there was assur-
ance that the sums would be repaid
Which is all very well and good
But experience of banking institu-
tons and other lending agencies in
dictates that a certain per cent of
the loans go bad. Poor manage
ment, unforeseen business condi-
tons, deaths of key figures, labor
disturbances, changes in the taste
OF the buying public for certain
marketable products-all of these
things, as well as the responsibility
OF the borrowers, go to determine
whether the money will be paid
back. And so it does not seem un.
reasonable to suppose that Mr..
Roosevelt is bit, teeny, weeny
bit, optimistic about recovering ali
OF the funds that are loaned.
Personal Political Element
Is the Most Disturbing
If we can dismiss the doubt. how
