gift to his fiancee. Mrs. Roosevelt says all her children teethed on it, and she almost invariably wears it.
 Mrs. Roosevelt is not inclined to wear tiaras or other jewels in her hair.
 On Saturday and Sunday nights June 10 and II, Mrs. Roosevelt may wear her new informal dinner dresses at the private dinners at Hyde Park when the king and queen will be there. One of these is a patriotic" dinner dress, consisting of a white blouse, with long, full sleeves caught in a narrow band at the wrist, a skirt of red crepe, white starred, and bluebird kid belt. The other is similar shirtwaits dress with white blouse and black and red lowered skirt.
 Dress to Honor Queen
 It is of Scotch plaid chiffon in shades of green, gray, orange, and cyclamen, with short shirred sleeves, with a wide belt. She may wear it at one of the dinners at Hyde Park in compliment to the Scottish queen.
 When she meets the royal party at the Washington union station, she will wear a light, but not pale, blue sheer wool of material sent her by British wool manufacturers.
 It is made very simply, and de- signed to be cool. Mrs. Roovevelt plans to wear it all that day, until she dresses for the state dinner, un- less it proves to be too hot. The queen probably will wear 8 still paler blue wool dress given to her by American wool manufacturers.
 Mrs. Roosevelt'S new daytime dresses include dark blue crepe, sprinkled with white stars, of dress maker design, and trimmed with narrow pipings of navy patent leath- CT: and a rose crepe with small all- over figures of black and green. the skirt pleated and the jacket hip length.
 As for the picnic at Hyde Park Mrs. Roosevelt will wear whatever is most comfortable for the day, de- pending upon the weather.

Frank Arnold Hunts Down
 County Waste
BY ROSCOE FLEMING NEA Service Special
 Correspondent

Denver, June 8. When you find an entire steel bridge missing and county commissioners trying to treat it as a minor social error-when you find missing whole carload of gasoline that the public has paid for-when you find $1.25 creosoted fence-posts called piles and bought for $12.50 each-when you find ledger-books costing $32.50 in one county and $250 in the next-then you've really got something on which to go to town with taxpayers economy cru- sade.
 That's the hard-boiled approach to economy in government of Frank G. Arnold, president of the Nebraska Association of County Taxpayers Leagues. Arnold is rapidly making himself the fore most American foe of taxes and useless public spending.
 NEW LEVIES
 CONSCIOUSLY ABSENT So effective has Arnold's work been in Colorado and Nebraska that neither state enacted single new tax this year, Arnold reports.
 Tn Nebraska the only tax bill to reach the floor of the unicameral legislature was for a graduated in- come tax, and it got only seven or eight votes out of 43. In Colorado, despite the pressure eXerted by ad- vocates of the old age pension and by other spending blocs, no new taxes were enacted.
 T find a growing interest in our Nebraska method of exposing all local public expenditures to the light of public scrutiny. When people know to the last cent what their money is being spent for, public officials hesitate to spend it extravagantly."
 In Nebraska, Arnold'S associa- tions are organized virtually throughout the state. In Colorado, the Governmental Research asso- citation, financed by contributions of wealthy and high-tax-paying Coloradans, has already subjected 26 of the 63 counties to the Me- braska method of searching audit and recapitulation of expendi- lures for selected years. It is working in seven more counties, and in one of them, Las Animas, group of county officials have been sent to state prison for steal

 'That didn't help the county's taxpayers much," notes Arnold 'They have the costs of prosecu- tion to pay as well as the cost of the stealing.

MIS. kCOOSGVelC bought two new formal evening dresses early in May which were then supposed to be the | dresses she would wear at the state dinner at the White House for the king and queen on June 8, and at the state dinner at the British En- bassy on June g.
 One of these she wore to address dinner and forum meeting of var ious youth groups, as farewell to Dr. Homer P. Rainey who leaves the National Youth Commission to be- come president of the University of Texas. It is of mauve and pink chiffon, with a train of lime green and petal pink, clasped by pink and green corsage at the neckline, where the two colors join. The waist is basque, fitted to the hip line, with a wide-flared skirt. At the neckline and shoulders, the material is puffed in four soft curves.
 One Evening Dress of Lace
 The other evening dress is of ivory Alencon lace made on prin- cess lines with 8 flared skirt. Under it she wears an ivory taffeta under skirt, ruffled. and adorned with two rows of dark blue and rose velvet ribbon.
 Mrs. Roosevelt has not revealed which gown she will wear at either of the state dinners.
 Her favorite jewels for formal evening wear are a four strand pearl necklace, rather long, or a necklace, fitting close to the neck line, of rather large diamonds, which were 1883 inauguration gift from relative.
 Guests are quite likely to wonder about a slender gold chain which usually supplements any jewels Mrs. Roosevelt wears at night. At the end of this chain is a locket, hidden within her bodice. This old-fashion- ed gold locket has her initials and those of her husband intertwined in diamonds on it. It was young Franklin D. Roosevelt's engagement

 Prom my experience, believe American citizens sare becoming more and more capable of just that sort of interest in their local gov- ernment. Temporary crusades don't get the job done"
 Arnold believes that American state legislatures in general appear to have hesitated in 'the mad rush to spend" and that it is high time.
 Public expenditures are gen. erally reckoned at about 20 per cent of public income" Arnold says. "But I find that income from government is usually reckoned as part of the gross public income. So I suspect that 40 per cent would be nearer the real proportion that the citizen pays for government.

When meeting up with royalty It requires no little tact. Should one bend the knee, Follow the letter of the law? Act absurdly unnatural, ,.. Or just stick out paw?
