EXPERTS SLAM
PENSION IDEA
Tell House Members
Townsend Plan Not
Feasible in u. S.

WASHINGTON DIR. Harold C.
Moulion, president OF the Brook
ings Institution. nationally known
research organization. told the
House Ways and Means committee
yesterday that the Townsend old
age pension bill can readily be
demonstrated TO be fantastic"
Moulton said the two per cent
tax that the Townsend plan would
levy on all transactions would alb
serb 25 10 80 per cent Of the ma
tional income. Proceeds of the tax
would be used to pay up to 5000
monthly to all persons over so who
re-ire from gainful employment.
Not Defensible
He said it would not be equit-
able TO give each old person an
income of 81 400 per year maxi
mum figure allowed under the
Townsend BILL.
That would mean lopsid-
ed and wholly indcfcnsible dis
tribution of income" he said.
Even in 1929. 30 per cent of
American families had in
comes less than 81. 100"
Milton said that federal. state
and local taxes now aggregate
approximately sl2 600, 600, 900 and
this plan Townsend would in
crease that amount to something
like 81 billion"
The Townsend bill was attacked
also by DR.. Willford !. King. pro-
fessor of economics in the School
of Commerce of New York uni
versity. He said Economists gen.
orally look upon all such plans for
large pensions without
cost to the public as being in the
same class with schemes for be-
coming rich by finding the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow"
DR.. A. G. Hart, University of
Chicago. said the effectiveness
of the Townsend plan propaganda
hinges on an ingenious mixture of
eXaggeration and understatement."
is Times Too Good
He said the size of the pension
yield of the plan had been over

City's Saloon Loses

For the sale of beer to natives, a
canteen. or saloon, was started by
the city of East London, South
Africa. 1t was estimated that the
place would make a profit of $4,000,
and those interested in native well
fare demanded an assurance that
the large profits would be spent in
the interest of the natives and
would be used for other purposes
This assurance was given After
several months trial it has just been
revealed that instead of making big
profits the drink dispensary is losing
$500 month. But the Council is
still hopeful that business will pick
up when the natives get used to
the idea"

BY BARBARA BELL,

The three-piece indispensable,
done in a casual, nonchalant man
ner: the two-piecer feminized by
smart dressmaker touches, and the
soft little suit that you can also
wear as a dress-these are the
must types of suit in this season
when suits are most important.
An ensemble like this 1632-B) is
not only a top-ranking fashion, it
is one of the most important bread
and-butter outfits in your wardrobe.
For travel, business. shopping, driv-
ing, it's an indispensable standby.
You'll like this way of making it,
particularly because there's a lot
of snap and dash to it. The jacket,
buttoned down the front and smart
ly braid-trimmed, is slimmed in be-
comingly at the waistline It fits
beautifully. The skirt is nice,
straight sensible kind-no pleats or
fullness to keep in press when you're
travelling. The re-shouldered
topper may be worn with your
sports dresses, too. Make this of
weatherproof tweed, cheviot or
spongy wool.
Truly, this 1633-B) is one of the
most becoming types of two-piecer
you've ever had on. 1t has all the
crispness and simplicity that make
tailored suit look so clean-cut and
well groomed. And it has, besides, a
decidedly fetching air of femininity
That's due to rows of stitching that
emphasize the slight flare of the
skirt, and decorate the jacket to
the fitted. belted waistline, and to
the scalloped pocket flaps. Choose
tweed, serge or mems suiting for
early-season wear; during the sum-
mer you'll love it in sharkskin, linen
or pique. Introduce a dashing note
of contrast in your scarf, gloves and
hat. You can afford several sets OF
accessories when you save money by
making your own suit.
It's so simple and youthful, this
charming little design 0500-B) that
you'll make it up time and again to
wear under your spring coat as
dress and all summer long as suit.
The jacket hugs in at the waist and
has inverted pleats at the tops of
the sleeves to match that in the
front of the skirt. Make this of silk
prints or polka dots, fiat crepe, thin
wool or sharkskin. And it's per-
feet type for linen when summer
comes.
Each of these simple patterns in
cludes a step-by-step sew chart.

FROM coast-to-coast, you now hear
L women singing the praises of a
thrilling new reducing method. A
method which DR.. Damrau of New
York demonstrated in tests among
group of intelligent and cooperative
peoplewhofollowed directionsimplic-
lily, was responsible for an average
loss in weight of Z pounds per month.
Most amazing, this method does
NOT call for special diet lists. You
never suffer a hungry moment. Nor
is it necessary for you to take stren-
uous exercises, or harmful drugs.
All you have to do is eat sensibly,
which means that you avoid over
eating, and drink 81 of glass of
Welch's Grape Juice, mixed with II
of a glass of water, before meals and
at bedtime. Thus reducing the ca
loric intake considerably.
How This Pleasant Way
Takes on Excess Fat!
Nothing could be easier, or more
pleasant. Yet!-this is what hap
pens. First, this delicious drink salts
fies your craving for rich, sweet
foods. You have less desire to over
eat fattening foods-but you do feel
comfortably full. Second, the grape
sugar in Welch's is quickly con-
sumed, and by this process helps
nature to consume excess fat.
Thus weight is lost naturally and
safely. And this remarkable method
is Just as beneficial and effective for
overweight men, as it is for over

"It's Susie's big night, Jeff" she said. Don't begrudge her a little moment of triumph"
 Who? Me-" said Jeff in sur- prise. I'm tickled to death. She's a winner and deserves the best"
 "Ask her to dance when we go back"
 She doesn't want to dance with me-"
 You're not, by any chance, be- ing a martyr, are you, dear?' his mother asked.
 Gosh, no Just a bit low to- sight, that's all, guess"
 Edna wanted to take him in her arms and cuddle him against her. Poor, blundering Jeff. He'd been in love with Susie for weeks. She had never been really unattractive to him. Would he ever wake up? Edna sighed. Trying to blueprint your sons love affairs was a thankless job. She'd always let Jeff work out his own problems, so she wouldn't interfere now.
 Meanwhile, Susie was having 8 wonderful time with MT. Harker and Dick and his friends who had drawn their chairs to the Harker table. Susie was flirting. How Susie knew how to f1irt was some thing no mere man could guess, mere men not having been closely related to Mother Eve. Quite effectively Susie wove her spell, so effectively that, had she owned a date book, it would have been well filled for the next few days. Dicks name would have predom- mated, in fact it was the only name that mattered to Susie. She was glad when Jeff returned to the table. She liked having him near. Jeff was comfortable old dear, bless his heart.
 It was almost 3 when he took her home. Dick had suggested slipping away in search of more mad fun, but she had declined, rather to her own surprise. Jeff had brought her to the Pump Room, he should take her home. Flirtatiously speaking, it was crafty move. Dick immediately eyed Jeff speculatively and made a note to call Suzanne not later than 9 on the following morning.
