For home wear, choose crisp
cottons like gingham, percale or
calico. For street or Office wear,
faille, fiat crepe or gay silk print
will be pretty, with collar and
cuffs of pique, linen or sharkskin.

Startling Color
Schemes Are Seen

Daring is the word for the star
Ting color schemes that are carried
out to a nicely by designers this
season. 1t is really revelation
that colors so intensely "contrasty"
can resolve into a symphony of col
or loneliness under the touch of an
artist style creator.
Navy for the skirt, old gold for
the blouse, bright red for the wide
corselet girdle and the entire sums
up to color perfection as charm
ing dress in sheer wool recently
displayed bears testimony.
Clever two or three-color alliances
are being handled with brilliant and
decidedly novel technique. A dark
dress takes on front panel of
vivid tone, such as red with navy,
fuchsia with turquoise. An evening
gown in blackberry tone has long
train starting between the shoulders
of bright fuchsia red.

BeIgions to Build
1000 onk Cars
|For Germany

DIV tNS hSSOCldle0 FIcoS.
BRUSSELS, March 26-Two Bel
gian firms were reported today to
have accepted orders to build 1000
tank cars for Germany under pres
sure by the Belgian government,
anxious to protect its neutrality.
Railway construction circles said
the two firms at first refused the
orders, despite their liberal terms,
because of fears that Great Britain
and France would strike back by
placing the firms on their blacklists.
British and French orders normally
far outnumber those from the
Reich.
A Foreign Office spokesman said
the government had approved the
transaction, since under existing
trade pacts France and England
have agreed to apply no sanctions if
trade with Germany in certain prod
ucts be maintained at pre-war levels.
1t was reported, but not confirmed,
that Germany's refusal to ship coke
to Belgium this winter was con-
nected with the Belgian manufac-
turers' reluctance to fill the German
order for tank cars.
France, it was disclosed two weeks
ago. has placed an order for 5000
tank cars with Belgian builders.

necessitate an increase of about 20
cents in the present real and per-
sonal property tax rate.
Mr.. Nichols, however, said per-
sonally he would oppose an in
crease in the real and personal prop
erty tax rate, since property is now
bearing an unfair" share of the
local tax burden. Real estate now Is
carrying about g. per cent of the
entire tax load, he explained.
Suffrage Argument Seen.
Obviously bitter over refusal of
the House to consider the proposed
dual sales-income tax plan, Mr.,
Nichols declared:
The demonstration in the House
was one of the strongest arguments
know OF in favor of local suffrage.
The spectacle that took place on
| the House floor was amazing, espe-
clally In view of the fact that the
members would not even consider q
plan to permit the people of the
District to tax themselves to run
their own government"
NAA' A>ASAAOlS CllCll warned,
But the District won't suffer as
much as the members of Congress
who voted to keep the tax plan
from being considered. Those folks
here working for the Government,
now have one of two alternatives
They must either quit their jobs and
go home or 'domicile' themselves in
the District and give up their vot-
ing residences in the States. II
they choose to do the latter then
the members of Congress will suffer
through the loss of votes"
House action in refusing to con-
slder the revenue bill came after
several fllibustering moves had re-
qulred the members to answer q
useless roll call on a point of NO
quorum. The apparent death OF
the measure was due to a Repub-
llcan-Democratic coalition.
OF the 1876 members who voted
against consideration of the bill 119
were Republicans, IS were Demo-
Gratis, l Progressive and l Farm
er-Laborite. Those who favored
consideration included 95 Democrats
and II Republicans.
BY its action the House did not
remove the bill from the calendar
Another attempt could be made to
call 1t up on the next District day."

Plane Sale Policy
Meets Approval
OF White House
Secretary Woodrine Will
ExpIoin Plons to House
Committee Tomorrow

The White House today expressed
satisfaction, through Stephen Early.
press secretary, with the newly de-
veloped policy providing for the sale
OF latest-type American-made mill
tary planes to France and Great
Britain. Secretary of War Wood
ring is to explain the policy tomor-
row to the House Military Affairs
Committee.
The significant aspects of the new
policy, it was learned. are:
!. Release of about 600 new planes
to the allies now under construction
Tor our own Army and Navy.
2. Clearance for foreign orders for
the latest experimental ships.
3. Continued protection of several
devices believed exclusive with this
Government.
Subject of bitter controversy for
weeks past as the Anglo French
purchasing mission fretted at their
inability to get clearance for orders
OF the most advanced type of fight
Ing equipment. the administrations
policy received apparent clarifica-
ton a week ago when President
Roosevelt told a press conference
that he favored foreign sales as a
means Of building up our own p1o-
ductive capacity. Making the res
ervation that no secret devices would
be included, the Chief Executive
nevertheless indicated he favored
the selling of first-rate fighting
planes rather than ones which al
ready can be classed as obsolete.
Since that time, long and secret
conferences have been held at the
War and Navy Departments, pre-
sumably for the purpose of drafting
IN formal fashion a broad policy bv
which the sales might be speeded up
without conflicting with our own ma
tional defense.
Mr.. Early today reiterated the
Presidents policy as expressed last
week and pointed out that its appli-
cation is in the hands of the de-
partmental committees supervising
the sales of military equipment. In
event Of any prolonged differences
within these committees, he con-
tlnued, the issues presumably would
be brought to the President for de-
cision without delay.

he still remained in his White House
quarters.

Trade Agreements Act. Lowell Mel
lett. head of the Office of Govern
ment Reports, was invited to lunch
with Mr.. Roosevelt.

tary, said the President had hope"
to leave on his usual spring trip to
Warm Springs, Ga, late this week,
but he had no definite plans for the
journey.
Mr.. Roosevelt is expected to see
Undersecretary of State Sumner
Welles Immediately on Mr.. Welles'
return from his fact-finding visit to
Europe. Mr.. Welles probably will be
back IN Washington by Friday, and
the Chief Executive could talk with
him here or in Warm Springs.
Asked whether Mr.. Roosevelt
might have formal statement
about the report Mr.. Welles brings
back. Mr.. Early said none had vet
been planned.
