LEGISLATIVE
COUNCIL URGED
z. Vane Would Have
Three Members Do
Surveys on Laws

CAPITOL, Olympia - Pro-
posing establishment of a
legislative council of three
members. to probe and survey
state government at intervals
of two years, Rep. z. A. Vane,
South Tacoma, introduced a
bin in the lower house of the
legislature today.
Vane would have one member
elected by majority vote of the
senate, two by majority vote OF
the house.
1T has always been my idea. "
he said. that the semi-grand jury
or investigating committee would
have a very beneficial effect II put
into practice in this state.
This body, meeting every two
years prior to the legislature,
would have a very salutary effect
In guarding the public welfare and
In making all officials and depart
ment heads more wary Of their
dealings with the public, handling
Of personnel. expenditure Of funds
and general management.
There IA 20 much talk these
days Of fraud, collusion, mis-
repre- sentafion, inefficiency
and Partially Of employment.
that I believe this net would
he very much In line with the
principles Of good government.
Il have personally heard COM
plants regarding certain matters
in the administration of our state,
but do not feel that could give
the necessary time and attention
to determine truth or falsity Of the
reports. An individual citizen is
lacking In the capacity, time or
authority to do job of this ma
ture."
vane's bill provides that the
council should sit not more than
30 days during even-numbered
years. II could recommend laws
and repeal OF laws, conduct in
vcstigations, hold hearings, receive
complaints and petitions. and study
state government generally with
an eye to possible reform and i'm
provement.
II would have probing
powers similar 70 those Of
grand jury.
It's sessions would beEin In
September, and II would re-
port 10 the legislature the fol-
lowing January.

Velvet Trimming
Latest Style Tip
Fabric Is Being Combined With
Everything Now.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Velvet and-well, velvet combined
with everything is the latest fashion
move. Your very chic black cloth
suit is apt to have its jacket edges
bound with velvet and fastened with
velvet covered buttons.
Your afternoon frock most likely
will have velvet bodice top sur
mounting high wasted black cloth
skirt. With the black crepe frock
you will look stunning if you wear
a black velvet bolero with stitched
border of crepe outlining pocket
edges and SUCH
You will be seeing velvet COM
bined with suede, with bengaline,
with faille, with tulIe-velvet with
any fabric is the smartest thing you
can wear.
Wear a black velvet profile beret
or bustle-back pillbox. Match the
hat with velvet handbag. With
your afternoon black faille frock
wear huge black velvet bow at
your throat, matched to the vel
vet belt that encircles your waist.
And so instances of "velvet and'
might continue to be cited but huff
said" to set you in the right direc-
ton toward chic supreme this
season.

BEAUTY and ROMANCE
BY MARIE DOWNING
DOW MING

number of unsightly blemishes. Mid,
dle-aged skin is not caused by years
but by neglect. Anyone can have q
smooth, youthful looking skin if she
will take the proper care and neces.
sary precautions.
Brush Hair Regularly
Nor is there any reason why your
hair should lose its youthful sheen as
the years go by. If you will make
1t a rule always to brush your hair
before going to bed, or an any other
convenient time during the day, YOU
can keep it as shining and healthy at
forty or fifty as it was at fifteen. If
1t tends to turn gray or become
streaked, it is a simple matter to
touch it up with good hair coloring.
The important thing now is to brush
it regularly, wash it at least every
two weeks and let nature take care of
the rest.
Watch Your Diet
And start watching your waistline
now. Many young girls have a ten
dency toward protruding dummies"
even in their teens. Correct that stu
alton before it is too late. The first
few pounds you gain won't make so
much difference, but it is much simp-
Ter to keep your weight down to aver
age for your height and age low. than
1t will be to lose ten to twenty-five
pounds ten years from now.
And do take care of your hands
They say there is no easier way to
tell a woman's age than by her hands.
If you let your hands become rough
and calloused from lack of care, thew
will add ten years to your appearance
Just when you would like to take ten
off. So make it point to treat your
hands to little special attention. Get
god lotion and apply it to your hands
every time you wash them.
Remember, you won't always be as
young as you are now but if YOU try,
you can look it.
