Research Expert
Attacks Claims of
Townsend Backers

WASHINGTON. Feb. %. (UP)-
Dr.. Harold c.. Moulton. president
of the Brookings Institution, ma
tionally known research organiza-
ton, told the house ways and means
committee today that the Town
send old age pension bill "can
readily be demonstrated to be fan
tastic." The committee is holding
hearings on Social Security amend
mentS and related pension propos-
ais.
Moulton said the two per cent tax
that the Townsend plan would levy
on all transactions would absorb
25 to 80 per cent of the national
income. Proceeds of the tax would
be used to pay up to 5000 monthly
TO all persons over 60 who retire
from gainful employment.
He said that Townsend advocates
figured the pensions would give
adequate buying power to call forth
the full production of the nation
and they assume the two per cent
transactions tax would yield ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000 u year.

L.A.Power Trouble
Reflected Here

Six minutes of darkness which
occurred wednesday evening when
power failed on the Nev-Cal Elec-
trio lines in Imperial Valley were
explained Thursday as due to trou-
BILE which developed on the power
system of the city of Los Angeles.
Nev-Cal officials explained that
their lines are connected with those
in Los Angeles, SO that in case
of failure the coast system can be
used. wednesday night, however,
the coast system itself failed and
most of the load for southern Cali
fornia was thrown upon the power
sources of Nev-Cal and San Diego
plants. Connections were broken
by automatic switches, because the
plants were not operating at fl
capacity. 1t took several minutes

L.V. Labor Council
Opposes Reduction
In Sugar Tariff

The Central Labor council OF
Imperial county this week Joined
other labor unions in California
in opposing any reduction in tariff
duty on Cuban sugar and urging
that the present tariff be main
tained or increased.
In addition, the unions urged
union labor and citizens of Cali
fornia to support local industry
and labor by the use of domestic
sugar in lieu of that produced
outside of continental United States.
The resolution adopted by the
valley unions included a recon-
mendation that the quota for sugar
other than continental cane ana
beet be reduced and the proper
governmental agencies permit and
encourage sugar production in con-
tinental United States.
Walter L. Welden, secretary of
the Central Labor council, declared
that beet growing in Imperial VAL
ley has increased until it may
become an important valley prod
uct. That means labor unions are
interested in the work it provides
and band together to keep it a
healthy market for labor, he said.

Call for Glitter
Brings Up Metals

In harmony with the call for gilt
ter in fashions this winter is the re-
turn to favor of metal weaves for
dinner gowns for cocktail frocks,
and especially smart is the blouse
of rich lame to be worn with the vel
vet afternoon suit or with the long
formal skirt at evening functions.
Milliners report big demand for
exotic looking turbans of metal cloth
draped in oriental fashion, these to
match the gowns or blouses or jack
cts with which they are worn. These
fattering turbans look stunning with
winter furs and women who like to
dress for occasion are playing up
the idea of the metal-draped tur-
ban for all it is worth.
Metal jackets that button with Jew
eled buttons are definitely good style
for evening worn with the black vel
vet or crepe formal skirt.

I'll lay aside the thoughts of last
years pain
And all the tears that I have shed

So gently l will close the last years
And open to a clean and vacant

And for myself ask only this

face.
That all the pain may go
And leave my body sweet, refreshed
and fine
And that we'll walk together for a day
Your heartbeats new, attuned to
mine.
IL send out radiant thoughts to greet
the morn
And pray each hour be filled with
peace
but should the torment rise again
LII ask OF God one moments swift

And tired souls place in which to

And brotherhood return on every

blouses and change the entire ap-
pearance of your costume from day
to day. The suit may be simply
tailored or the bolero can be hand
somely all-over braided
At the smartest places you see
bolero costumes similar to the
model pictured to the left in the
group. Sheer wool or silk crepe in
a chosen pastel tone, a skirt rip
pling to a wide swirling hemline, a
blouse that looks like a froth of tint
ed lace, a bolero that bespeaks youth
in its every line thus the story of
this charming costume is told. The
lace blouse worn with this bolero
twosome reminds us that the fore
word coming from fashion head
quarters is that the dainty lace
trimmed or all-of-lace blouse is
scheduled to reach a new high in
fashion next spring.
Princess coats and dresses are all
the style this winter. In coats the
classic double-breasted form-ftting
princess type of wool coating or
richly colorful tweed is an acknowl-
edged favorite AS to the princess
dress, style-alert debutantes and
girls of high school age have fallen
in love with the simple classic such
as is conferred in the illustration.
Describing this model, it is a black
bengaline coat dress, suitable to
wear from morn to night. The form
fitting princess lines are cut with
purpose to achieve the chic skirt
fullness that develops a wide far
ing hemline. The dress is further
styled with sailor collar and a row
Of gold buttons at the front closing.
If you are young, slim, svelte and
alertly fashion-conscious, tie a rib
bon in your hair and wear a form
fitting princess dress like the one
pictured to the right in the group.
Buttons down the front make this
model do the most for the typical
junior figure. The gored, hemmed
skirt flares gaily. And the four lit
tie embroidered and edged in val
type cotton lace pockets!

Trend Now Toward
Simple Silhouette
Change Is Welcomed After
Wild Period Orgy.
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Looking into the future enc sees
a general movement toward simpli-
flying the silhouette. This return to
neat normal classic lines will re-
ceive wide welcome after the wild
orgy of period fashions and fantas-
tic style influences which have car,
ried on during the last several sea-
sons.
Immediate evidence of a return
to becoming and conservative dress
is seen in the charming daytime
frocks highlighted by fashion for.
wear under the winter coat. Made
of exquisite woolens in lovely pastel.
shades or styled of handsome wear
able bemberg and rayon weaves or
in the practical faille and bengalinei
fabrics with accent on simplicity of
line, these classic dresses have,
brought refreshing new note of in!
terest into the costume realm.
Another clever move in the direc-,
ton of simplicity is the neat little
classic suits that are tailored of
cloth or tweed if you will, but for.
high-style at its highest emphasis is
on the suit with somewhat flaring
skirt topped with a shapely jacket,
the entire tailored of black faille or
bengaline and in some instances,
black taffeta.
Evidences of a general move in
the direction of a more conservative
styling are noted in the simple fit
ted bodices with perhaps a restrict
ed tucking or manipulated scanning
with often the placing of a clever
pocket or so, also there is less pad
ding at the shoulders, skirts have
less of an exaggerated flare. In
fact, certain couture houses in Paris
are launching straighter skirts for
daytime wear.

Smart Silhouette
Is Princess Type

About the smartest silhouette GO
ing on record at this moment is the
princess type, worn without a belt,
the skirt portion made to flare some
times to an exaggerated degree, al
though less formal princess modes
flare as BELTS a daytime utility dress
made of wool or of silk-and-rayon
crepe.
Nor are the new shirtwaists to be
outdone when it comes to fullness.
The early arrivals for resort wear
and for general wear in the spring
are made to blouse decidedly, their
sleeves on the bishop order that
fall into cuff band. Be sure when
you go housekeeping to ask for
the new type bloused shirtwaist.

ABROAD FOR CHRISTMAS

ABhOAD TOh SI1R1O MAO
The Golden leaves of autumn time
With rustling restlessness sublime
Have fed the coming winters snow,
And all the plants have ceased to
grow,
But stand like skeletons all bare
And shrivelled by the frosty air.
The swallow and the robin, too,
And all the birds that erstwhile flew
In song beneath my window sill
Are gone beyond the farthest hill,
To seek the suns bright warming
rays,
Where all are spring or summer days.
All. happy privilege to fly
Across the azure Of the sky,
To light again in other lands
Where nature works with gentler
hands.
But nature says l cannot flee
And nature rules eternally.
Yet. I can let my fancy sail
Unhampered over memOry's trail,
To live again with all my own,
The relatives and friends I've known;
And find midst carol and midst chime,
My homeland, now at Christmas time.

From the fgure-fattering stand
point there are two types that stand
out definitely in the mode this sea-

the form-fitting dresses and coats
that are cut a la princess. The diff

dress or suit with a bolero possesses
the magic to make figures that are

define the bolero theme is a big

finite moods ranging from tailored
types made of utilitarian woods to
afternoon types starred with sequins

Most practical is the tailored
bolero dress or suit made of a sheer
