These patterns are planned espe-
cially for you who don't know very
much about sewing and would like
to try your hand at it. The dia-
grams indicate that there is very
little labor involved and very little
detailing. Any one of them will
quickly convince you that it is easy
and satisfying to make smart, SIM
pie dresses for yourself and your lit
tie daughter-dresses that will be
especially becoming because you
choose the materials and colors to
suit the wearer.
Here's simple diagram design
1732-B) that you'll make up time
and again with increasing pleasure.
Being beltless and deep in the arm
holes, it is comfortable dress for
housework, in gingham and percale,
and still it is sufficiently tailored so
that you can make it up in silk
crepe or thin wool for street wear.
It's a universally becoming style,
long-sleeved or short-sleeved, with
a narrowed square neckline that
every one can wear, and a skirt that
Widens prettily at the hem.
Large women who find it difficult
to get a correct fit will revel in the
comfort and slenderizing effect of
this good-looking house dress. The
dart-ftted waistline of 1719-B is at
once slim and unhampering. The

BALMY DAYS OF HEART BALM
FADING INTO PAST

More and more state legislatures in
these United States are making it harder
and harder for poor working girl to
make a living. The kind of poor work
ing girl that is, who works everyone she
can. The hard hearted legislators are
making life scarcely worth living by
taking the profit out of romance. In
many states love is practically the only
reason for an engagement to marry, now
that breach of promise and alienation
of affection suits have been outlawed.
CALIFORNIA; sweet young things need
not worry-yet. In this state they can
still say "yes" first and sue afterwards.
OF course they're running the risk of
marriage. There's always the chance
that the boy friend would rather marry
than be sued for breaking his girl friends
heart.
Our state legislature would be doing
a distinct personal favor for every male
citizen with more than $4,000 in the
bank by outlawing these breach of prom
ise suits, as the New York and other
state legislatures have already done.
We've never heard of anyone with less
than $4,000 being sued for breach of
promise. Perhaps love is too noble for
a small claims court
For the sake of the girls themselves,
breach of promise should be written on
the mono" list. The girl who can't
collect on a broken heart would have
better chance, under the law of aver
ages. More fellows would be less care
full what they say if they weren't afraid
they would have to repeat it to the ten
der ears of a whole jury-and more girls
would get to the altar, even if fewer got
into the witness chair
The first intention of breach of prom
ise legislation was to protect innocent
womanhood, but the net result has been
to turn simple manhood-with the ac-
cent on simple-into hard cash for cold
hearts.
We believe the state wouldn't begrudge
its lawmakers one day away from the
pressing problems of sardine quotas and
tax exemptions, if the one day were use,
to do away with the racket that has
grown out of breach of promise and
alienation of affections suits.
For any legislative drive that may de-
velop along these lines, we humbly offer
this slogan: Sex appeal belongs in ro-
nance, not in court.

OUTLINE OF STRATEGY

Congressional developments in the
matter of Works Progress Administra-
ton funds might be summarized thus
Saturday: House of representatives
shaved $50 million dollars from appro-
priation requested by President.
Sunday: Administration leaders de-
clare action unjust to relief recipients.
Monday: New Dealers in Senate an
nounce they will fight to restore $50
millions to appropriation bill.
Tuesday: New Dealers in Senate ac-
cept and support bill as passed up from
house. fearing opposition to $50 millions
cut will bring about still further reduc-
ton.
Summary: 1t looks like this will be
an interesting session of congress.

BETTER HOMES
NEEDED

(Oroville Mercury -Register)
A humanitarian program that Will
benefit thousands of unfortunates whose
annual income is $1,000 down to S45O IS
the federal housing administration
slum clearance.
More than 10000 of these low-income
families. who formerly dwelt in slum
tenements and ShackS, are now living
in sanitary quarters. During the coming
year. thousands of these families Will
migrate to more human abodes as 900o
new homes are under construction: Ihe
program calls for about $4,000 addition
al homes for this class of people IN the
larger cities of the United States.
A building project of this type has
great merit People packed in four and
five story dark tenements live like rats
and their outlook becomes the same.
What chance have they got?
But give them livable homes with plen-
ty of light at low rentals and they Will
find life better. Their outlook is brighter
and consequently their morale becomes
higher. They have hope and can strive
toward something better. Environment
means more than the ordinary person
may think.
With such a project self-iquidating,
it should not stop at the larger cities.
For the many families interested in
home ownership, encouragement should
be given them to save and build. They IL
find such home life more satisfying and
there is no doubt that a widespread
building program will be beneficial to
labor and industry

An Economist S
Viewpoint
By John 7. Flynn

In President Roosevelt's address
to Congress he made frequent use
of a word the full significance of
which seems to have escaped most
of the commentators. That word
was investment
One can do wonders with a word.
You can kill a politician by fixing
on him the word fascist" or COM
munist." In Russia they ruin a
man by calling him Trotskyite.
And now the President plans, not
to ruin. but to bless what most
people call government spending,
by calling it government invest
ment."
The idea behind this is to kill
off the deficit. Conservatives
clamor for the President to balance
the budget. Apparently he cannot
balance the budget by spending
less or taxing more. SO he plans
to balance it by calling spending
by another name. He proposes TO
wipe out the deficit or at least
much of it by a word.
He followed this idea up in his
budget address by urging a new
method of keeping the nation S
books-by segregating eXpendl-
lures for current purposes from
capital outlay. referred to as in
vestments.
Now. as a matter of fact, it IS
possible for a government as well
as a private individual to make an
investment And when it does there
is no reason why such an invest
ment should not appear on the
governments books just as it would
on a private concerns books. II the
government builds a utility and
operates it for revenue, that is an
investment.
1t is not in the same class with
expenditures where there Is no
prospect of return. A man VINO
BUYS a pair of shoes TO wear Is
spending money And men VINO
buV a machine to make shoes
which they will sell and thus re-
cover the cost OF the machine, are
investing money. That is true ol
the government as well as indiVi-
duals.
The trouble comes when we gel
around To putting this investment
label on various expenditures. Ano
what the President is gettlns
around to is the much advertised
plan to lump together expenditures
designed to improve the condition
of the country, such as roads, sol
conservation. defense, as invest
ments when they are not. A pubic
school is of course an "nvestmen
in social values but it is not az
investment in the sense that th'
word is used in public finance.
The chief task of the Congress
now must be to see that the ma
tion's books are not tampered WIFI
to abolish a deficit by giving II
nice name. The greatest mistake
anv business man can make is u
fool himself with his books. GU
method of keeping the books OF tn
national government is pretty ba'
as it is. 1t ought to be reformed.
