AS spring lengthens into sum-
mer, you'll want more and more
crisp daytime cottons to keep you
fresh and comfortable during busy
summer hours. Here's new design
that's so successful you'll really en-
joy having half a dozen different
cottons made like it. First of all,
of course, it's designed for complete
working comfort, with beltless waist
line drawn in, but never frightened,
by sash bow in the back. The skirt
has sufficient width at the hem and
the armholes are easy.
Aside from its purely utilitarian
virtues, this is such gay, becoming
dress, with bright buttons, bows
and braid to enliven it without max
ing 1t fusSy. Choose red-checked
gingham, green-striped liner or
Powered percale for this, and trim
with braid or buttons to match or
contrast.

Tax Savings Plan
Notes in Demand

An increasing demand by tax
payers for the new L. s. tax
savings plan" notes is being made
upon local banks. 1t was disclosed
Tuesday by Clark Squire, collector
OF internal revenue.
The move in congress TO lower
personal income tax exemptions
to 81 500 for married couples and
10 $3.50 for single persons has
resulted in more inquiries for ap-
plication forms at local banks. he
said. The plan was designed to
aid taxpayers in laying aside
money this year for payment Of
income taxes next year or in 1913.
This is the last week during
which these interest bearing notes
in varying denominations may be
purchased at face value, Squire
pointed out.
Notes may be used in payment
of income taxes after three months
from the time of purchase. Those
intended for payments in January
must be purchased not later than
October. Squire said.

Sewer Utility Discussed

dence OF business house. In Ia

there Is new problem because
the city water system is part

Law Sanctions Utility
A law passed by the last legis-
lature at the instance OF the Ia
coma Civic Sewer committee,
makes it possible for the city to
set up a sewer utility and issue
bonds based on its revenues.
The Los Angeles visitor re-
marked that his city has a huge
trunk sewer system carrying sew
age to the ocean and now faces a
possible order from the California
board Of health to discontinue that
method of disposal. Added to the
problem Is that the voters recently
turned down a proposal for a
S12. 200. 900 bond issue for con-
struction of sewage disposal
plant. the only apparent alterna-
tive to dumping in the ocean.

The fact Is that the younger set
among japanese beetles. Matched
this June. have taken 10 hitch
hiking aboard airliners bound from
LaGuardia field here for the mid
west. So great has the menace
become that the L. S. department
of agriculture has had to station
an anti-beetle unit of three ex-
perts TO inspect all outgoing
planes and passengers at the air
port.
Popillia japoniea. as he is cali
ed by his friends (which is why
you hear this name so seldom) t.
made his unweleome arrival in
America from Japan after jump
ing ship at Riverton. n. J., in
1918. Since then this hard-shelled
menace to crops has steadily eaten
his way about the country until
now only the south and midwest
are free of the scourge.
The department of agriculture
intends that these regions shall
remain free of the japanese bee
ties. In the past month and a
half its agents have nabbed over
2300 of the pests aboard outbound
planes and passengers.
Japanese beetles are shrewd air
travellers. Loathing cloudy wealth
er, they won't travel unless visi-
bility is perfect, ceiling unlimited.
They are also particular about
night flying, never show up at
the airport after shutdown or be-
fore dawn.

Urges Colleges Combine

Iege level this is caused by over
emphasis on culture for cultures
sake--Or rather. for the sake Of
social prestige. There Is failure
10 see that mans past achieve
ments are mainly valuable as
they contribute 10 the building
of the present. Although a nat
ural function of intellectual
leadership is to help solve the
essential problems OF the times,
the students have no vital con-
tact with these problems. They
are graduated with "A cultural
veneer but with no real cOmpe-
tence to participate as leaders In
their contemporary society"
Henderson is right in his i'm
plication that too many coll
legians are mentally spoon fed
on the illusion that in after life
they will be supported or

M. s. RukeySer:

Sound thinking about Ameri-
can problems has been rendered
difficult in recent years by the
.fallacy of artificially limiting
alternatives.
BY way of illustration. diet
tantes kept telling US all through
the depression that we must
choose between communism and
fascism. Nothing can be further
from the truth. The fact is that
there is little TO choose between
the two, since both represent
eXaltation of the state above the
individual and a negation of the
political, civil. economic and re-
digiouS freedoms which Ameri-
cans cherish. Genuine Ameri-
canism is antithetical to regi-
mentation along either fascist or
communist lines. Incidentally,
the impending closer embrace
between Hitler and Stain ex-
poses the intellectual fraud
behind the propaganda that
fascism tnaZiism) is the irrecon-
cilable enemy of communism.
