Removal of the "land-locked" status
of ports on Lakes Superior, Huron

for western wheatgrowers to save
5H to 8 cents per bushel on transpor-

AS for the midwest industry, once

freight charges would also be sub

exported from Michigan to any place

automobile shipped to Antwerp the
freight saving would be $22. On i'm

The statement of the Tribune Ed

| legislative body could hardly fall
back on the same arguments that are
used in favor of legislative councils,
They had the work of the interim
committee popularity called 'The Lit

work for them.
The LHC spent an entire interim

these bills during the session 900

The almost whole-hearted accept
ance of the committee conclusions,
in spite of the fact that the only
chance for objections to be raised
came during the time the legislature
was in session, makes it mandatory
that any amendment legalizing this
type of committee must provide for
the publication of proposed legislation

would be entirely undemocratic.
Another question to be considered
would be the natural makeup of
such committees. The ordinary work

take time off to serve in the legisla-

absence from a job to attend meet

predict that, being legislative func-

THE EGG HEADS VS.. THE
JUG HEADS?

THE EGG HEADS VS.. THE
JUG HEADS?
House speaker Joseph Martin, Jr.
said last week that 'leftwing egg
heads" are trying to promote us into
hard times for political reasons"
For some time anyone who spoke
in a practical or informed manner
on any matter has been called an
"egghead." At first people giggled
and put it in the category of popping
corny." But it is obvious that it is
now being used in the same sense
as other of the name calling jargon
to try and attach an unsavory name
to anyone who faces facts.
If you read that a manufacturer
of automobiles has laid off $500
men and is cutting production 1919
and you deduce that there are going
to be $500 men unemployed and a
1919 reduction in production means
the unemployment will probably be
permanent-you're an "Egghead.
When you find out that 1919 of
the wage earners in Oregon are out
of work = forget it! Or you're an
"Egghead."
When California reports that their
Welfare funds are depleted because
of taking care of unemployed-stick
your head in the sand-or you're an
'Egghead."
If you total the nations unemploy-
ment and become alarmed-you'
an "Egghead."
If you can read and add-face it
you're an "Egghead.
But worse than that if you are
for the people whose eco
1omic conditions mean suffering to
themselves and their children and if
you think it should be a problem of
interest to the nation-then duck
or you're "Leftwing Egghead."
So, to the paint has been added |
len fruit. And you're just bunch |
# red eggs" and the Jugheads will |
ret you, if you don't watch out!
If this bothers you, best you for
ret about the possibility of hungry |
lids and human suffering and the
principles of social welfare and JUS
ice and join the Jugheads.
However, before you fly the coop,
you usually figure you can
latch something out of an egg, but
he stuff that comes in jugs merely |
makes you slap happy and boy you

With the death of the Montana

Designers Now Focus on Bathroom Decor
By Betty Lenohon

After many years spent In dull,
undressing obscurity, bath
rooms are at last coming into
their own as a focus for decora-
tive attention.
Durable new materials have
been developed that offer high
fashion designs and colors max
ing possible a bathroom with new
good looks that relate closely to
the rest of the living area.
Most noteworthy trend today
Is toward built-in sinks, recessed
in wide counter tops over wall
to-Wau cabinets. These double
as convenient dressing tables and
offer streamlined storage for
linens, medicines and often laun-
dry hampers below.
Surfacing these new built-in
units, and on wall areas and
floors. are handsome sturdy plas-
tics. Formica plastic Is now
available in a new range of
bright high-style colors like
Siamese pink, charcoal, spruce,
citron and pumpkin. Also, in
the plastic are the new Italian
marble and mosaic motifs that
are growing in fashion for living
room schemes. Vinyl tiles for the
floor, easy to install, provide vivid
color palette ranging from newly
popular pinks to rich heige-to-
brown wood colorings.
Easy bathroom care is also
gaining attention. A new pint
sized version of the popular self
squeezing mop, with all the sturdy
construction of the conventional
size and a few. tricks of its own
added, has been specially de-
signed for bathroom use. With a
rubber hanging tip for storage
on a hook, or out of sight be-
hind the shower curtain, the
sponge mop is a handy tool for
scrubbing the tub, hopping walls,
and efficient cleaning of those
difficult bathroom floors. An
extension handle gives it flexible
reach.
Even without a major re-
modelling, current bathrooms can
be given a fresh viewpoint with
q few new decorative elements.

rings, lowered wood shutters

colored washable cotton carpet

even wall-to-wall effects are
popular. Shower curtains reflect
new high-style fabric designs
like harlequin patterns and alb

able this year in woven chintz

A. Maple furniture in the
dining room and kitchen will not
be too much natural wood in the
two rooms. as matter of fact,
maple furniture is the best Sc
lection to go with knotty pine.
Wallpaper with provincial pat

The District Zoning Commits

The new regulation specifies
that the apartment house stores

occupants such daily living needs
as food, drugs, sundrys and per-

The commission further de-
creed that these shops shall have
no direct entrance from the
street and shall not be visible
from a public sidewalk. The
shops may have no signs or other
indications visible from the out
side Of the building. It was also
specified that the apartment
house shall be big enough so
that the tenants may fully sup
