Wimples, Nets und
Snoods the Latest
Milliners All Worked Up
Over New Idea
BY CHERIE NICHOLAS

If you are a true and faithful fol-
lower of fashion it's wimples, nets
and snoods you must be writing
down on your shopping list. Lead
ing milliners are so enthusiastic in
regard to the idea of the hat with
snood or net or a colorful grace
full wrap-about wimple that before
you know it you will find yourself a
convert to the idea.
And if you think a net or snood is
merely decorative theme just ask
your milliner to point out the prac-
teal side of this mode. In the
first place they are turning out these
fantasies so attractively you can't
resist the temptation of buying, the
more so when you are told the idea
is to keep you looking well-groomed,
in that with hat removed, wearing
one of the new nets in snood-like
effect, your hair will stay ''just So"
The newest thing is the hat and
net ensemble, meaning that the hair
net that compliments the hat, is
colorfully decorated with wee
matching ribbon bows or buttons or
some gadgetry that relates hat and
net, so when you wear the two to-
gether they form a headgear unit.
AS to wimples many of the smart
est hats of the season have long
scarf streamers attached in versa
tile ways. The fashion started in
mid-winter but only few of the
most daring ventured to wear them.
However, the idea has made such
widespread appeal hats with VIM
pies attached are among the most
popular for spring. 1t is also now
possible to buy separate wimple to
attach to your hat or remove at will.

mid-morning and another Tor a
glass of fruit juice, with a piece of
cake or a sandwich) during the
afternoon. Warm milk or some of
the food drinks at bedtime are very
soothing and will prove a good
weapon in your gaining campaign.
AT your regular meals, too, you
should concentrate on calory-rich
dishes. The starches and sweets
which are forbidden the heavier
girl should comprise a large part
of your diet. Eat your vegetables
creamed, whenever possible, and
drink milk rather than tea or coffee.
Don't make the mistake of avoid
ing exercise entirely just because
you are underweight. You should
not take too strenuous exercises, Of
course, but a brisk walk every day
will improve your appetite and help
you to sleep soundly. Exercise in
the fresh air will put a sparkle in
your eye and roses in your cheeks.
Don't get so wrapped up in your
gaining routine that you forget
about your regular beauty schedule.
Brush your hair until it shines, keep
your skin clear and clean, and your
hands and nails in condition at all
times.
Follow these simple rules and by
the time you are ready to don your
Easter outfit, You will be blooming
with health and an outstanding
figure in the Easter parade.

POINTS FOR TIE VERY TALL
WOMAN
BY ELLSMERE

Last week, if you'll remember,
we discussed the problems of the short,
stocky woman-and this week we'll
take up the problems of her physically
opposite type-the very tall, very
slender woman. And her problem is
solved in just the opposite way of her
short sister-by accenting horizontal
rather than vertical lines. This is done
through the mediums of makeup,
clothes, and couture. To take up
the latter, first. q. Don't even think of
wearing your hair in the "upswing"
mode for it will only increase your

Business Deterrent

Representative Jennings Ran.
dolph. Democrat, of West Virginia,
chairman of the House District
Committee, termed Washington's
business privilege tax a deterrent
to growth of business and industry
in the District" in an address today
before the Early Birds Breakfast
Club at the Willard Hotel.
Mr.. Randolph said that he re.
gretted such tax had been levied,
but that it appeared the tax would
have to be continued for the time
being.
"As soon as practicable" he as
serted, this system of taxation
should be changed and business and
industry should be encouraged to
60 forward" ,..
He also stated that he believed
citizens Of Washington should be
permitted to operate their own city,
that they should be given the right
and responsibilities Of voting.

Mystery Shot
| Battles Actors
lat Rehearsal

Members of the Montgomery
County CMd) Women's Democratic
Club today were baffled in an at
tempt to explain the mysterious
shot which rang out in the Takoma-
Silver Spring Junior High School
last night following the final re-
hearsal by the group of a satire on
county politicians.
After the amateur actresses had
finished going through the script of
their play, entitled It's a Deal"
most of them left the school, whiie
others, including E. Francis Nc
Dewitt, author of the burlesque, re-
manned behind to turn off the lights.
Suddenly, a report rang out and
Mr.. McDevitt saw what appeared to
be gun smoke drifting up the base
ment stairs in back of the stage.
The group decided to leave fur
ther investigation to the police, and
notified them after locking the
school. The latter, however, were
baked in their efforts to solve the
mystery when they couldn't get into
the building.
Mrs. McDevitt said that the noise
was definitely not that caused by a
firecracker. I'm sure it was a re-
volver shot" she declared.

Elmer Havens, president and gen.
eral manager of the Dairymen's AS
sociation of Providence and for
mer member of the State Control
Commission.
Several members of the investi-
eating committee are considering
recommending creation in WASH
lngton of commission, composed
of representatives of producers, dis
tributors and consumers, to control
the price of milk
Mr.. Havens told the committee the
Rhode Island Milk Control Law had
served to stabilize the milk industry
there.
THE law" he declared, has done
wonderful lot of good
Mr. Havens, who was invited to
testify at the request of Representa-
tive Sandager, Republican. of Rhode
Island, member of Milk Com
mittee. also explained that the two
principal grades of milk sold in
Rhode Island are plain market
milk" which is delivered for 13 cents
a quart, and grade A, which is sold
for Is cents quart, delivered, and
IA cents in stores About 10 per cent
of the milk consumed in Rhode
Island, he said, is the plain market

The House committee investigat-
ing the District milk situation today
suddenly rescinded previous order
which would have closed the doors
to public to the testimony of the
accountants who examined the books
of various dairies and the Maryland
Virginia Milk Producers Association.
The "about-face" of the commits
tee was disclosed when Estil w.
Smith. special investigator for the
group, took the witness stand to out
line what he had found in the books
of the producers association.
Spectators and newspaper men.
who had expected the hearing room
to be cleared. were surprised when
they were not elected. Chairman
Bates, in response to inquiries, said
the committee had decided before
the hearing began today to rescind
the action taken by the committee
at an executive meeting late yester-
| day which would have denied the
public the privilege of listening to
the testimony of Mr.. Smith and
other accountants
The committee however, in chang
ing its decision. according to Chair.
man Bates, did so on condition
that attorneys representing various
groups would not be permitted to
cross examine its accountants unless
their clients were affected par.
ticularly by the testimony.

Approving the site already owned
