thoughts on the

Scenes resembling those leading up
In the 1930 stock market crash are
Bow visible in all brokerage offices.
And they are being re-enacted in
technicolor.
MA burned child dreads the Are.
lot an adult will always go for sec
end degree burns if the tipa "are

I There is even a more reckless
?tood in today's buying due to the
fact this is a screwier age in which
the gambling fever has never ran
higher. Horses, dice, gin rummy and
football pools have made America
risk-alappy.
.
Most people have more cash than
they know what to do with, so they
are accepting advice from stran
gers.
The horse players are in the mar
ket, too. We heard a fellow rush up
when his stock went off a point yes
terday and claim a foul.
?
He is the same one who boasted
that he had bought Chrysler and
Eastman, and thought they had a
good chance in the daily double at
the weights.
?
All some brokerage offices need is
a smell of hay, a list of jockeys, an
objection heard and a morning line.
In fact, it is our belief the stock
market should no longer be opened
with a gong. It is time to use a
bugle.

Remember away back when
"Never Again!" was the Voice of

Reflections on Housing
The housing crisis has reached
a point where it is suggested
that "Tenting Tonight" replace
"Home, Sweet Home" as an
American folk song.
?
A four-room fabricated house
at $2,399 is on sale at a New
York department store. "What
floor for residences, landscape
gardening and cinder paths,
please?"
The old-fashioned American
may have been remiss and dumb
in many ways, but he never con
fused a new home with a chicken
house.

Easy-to-Make Gowns Are Styled
' For Smart Wear in Midseason
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
I'HE rush and the excite- I
ment of a busy holiday I
season is over. Comes now I
the quiet after a storm when
women will have opportunity to take
inventory of their wardrobes. It's
time to see what's needed in way of
one or more smart new gowns that
will accent the midseason style pro
gram with outstanding chic and
charm.
If you find you need something
you'U find that it will be thrifty and
bring you no-end satisfaction to
make your own between - season
dresses. Maybe you are an expert
at sewing. However, if you are an
ambitious beginner you will get
along fine by just taking your sew
ing problems to your local sewing
center. You will be surprised and
delighted at the wonderful facilities
and helpful instruction you will re
ceive in the art. In a few lessons
your eye will be trained to fine
points of cut, fit and finish, also
to keen discernment in matter of
selecting patterns and fabric. It's
nothing less than fascinating to
learn of the wonders that the
modern sewing machine performs in
way of short cuts to smart dress
maker tricks through almost mi
racle-working attachments. ,
Any one of the modish gowns pic
tured will inject new "pep" into ;
your midseason wardrobe. And ,
what a grand and glorious feeling
it will give you to have made it ,
yourself! In choosing your patterns
keep in mind as a guiding star that j
soft styling and easy silhouettes ;
strike high - fashion keynote for
smartest midwinter clothes. Keep ,
in mind, too, that no styling detail ,
is of greater importance than are ,
sleeves. In fact, it might well be j
said that a dress or a blouse or a ,
coat is no smarter than its sleeves.
It's the deep armhole sleeves that t
are creating the big sensation this j
season, especially the new wedged |
sleeves, such as style the gowns pic- (
tures. i
Classic and new details are com- (
bined in the wedged sleeve frock of
beige gabardine as shown centered j
in the trio. This stunning mode)
takes its "casual" cue from such
tailored accessories as its wide
leather belt, shoulder-strap bag and
square-brimmed sailor. This is ?
type of basic dress that can lead a
double life just by deft accessory
changes. Hip-slurring, curved slot
pockets and high-riding inverted
center front pleat are good fashion
aids to stress be low-hip flattery.
For truly dramatic accessory
changes the model shown to the left
presents an unbeatable basic dress
that's collarless. Its wedged sleeves
of contrasting color fan out in sim
ple mandarin lines, and its mini
mized waistline is accented by a
shapely curving stitched belt of self
fabric. The skirt front interest is
heightened by inverted pleats that
are stitched -down to well below the
waistline.
Another midseason sure success
project is a two-piece wedge-sleeve
dress that dramatizes the new
rounded look in easy-to-wear lines,
after the manner of the smart mod
el pictured to the right. Rapsberry
spun rayon is used for the bow-tied
blouse, and black rayon for its
curved waistband and full-gathered
skirt. The rounded raglan shoul
ders are contrived to form a di
agonal bodice yoke that wings out
into deep armhole sleeves. With the
aid of dolman shoulder pads such
as are featured at local sewing
centers, in a variety of colors and
sizes for dresses, coats and suits
ane can more easily achieve per
fected rounded shoulder and deep
armhole lines.
Among other style details played
lp in last-minute midwinter fash
ons, the idea of drawstring belts
nakes wide appeal, for you are -
assured of a perfect fit, in that the
waistline may be adjusted to any
lize.

Felt Suit Hat I
This dashing felt hat in beiga is
perfect to wear with your tailored
tlothes, especially with the suit you
?re wearing under your fur coat
luring the cold midwinter months.
Later on it will top your unfurred
rloth coat or your classic wool
'rock with infinite chic. The high
:rown has interesting detail in its
10ft draped manipulation. The two
".andsome quills in natural tones are
placed at exactly right angle to Hat
er.
All Plastic Sandals
Latest in Footwear
An up-to-date version of Cinder
ella's slippers has been designed
and they surely will enchant the ;
modern Prince Charming. These in
triguing and novel sandals are of
crystal-clear lucite, and they are
here for party-goers as well as for
women who like to relax luxurious
ly at home. This amazing new foot
wear comes with colorful ribbon lac
ings, run through slots to form criss
crossings and ankle ties. Square
toed soles are cut In a single piece.
The firmly fastened hollow heel is
tti inches high. Colors are also
available, including translucent
black, red, green and blue. Rib
bons range from multi-color stripes
to solid colors in royal blue, green,
red. gold, black or white, in addi
tion to its beauty, the plastic has
the practical value of being light
weight and virtually unbreakable.
High Colon Competing
With Subtle Neutrals
You will see high color in the
lew wool jerseys, which are being
leatly tailored in resort toppers and
suits, which of course assures their
ityle prestige in the spring fashion
jicture. Vivid coral is on the new
rolor list, and tangerine, royal blue
tnd a lovely cornflower blue as well
is chalk blue, also striking green
ones and startling new reds and
iright copper shades. Just as fan
xjrtant, however, are the subtle
leutrals stressing soft grays and
ight beige, such as putty or string
taiga.

CO-OPERATIVES ORGANIZED
FOR HUMAN RIGHTS
WISCONSIN was the first state to
enact legislation providing (or the
"one man, one vote" form of cor
poration, under which a large por
tion of the state's co-operatives are
organized. When enacted the law
was considered radically socialistic.
Shortly after its enactment I had
the opportunity for a conversation
with the promoter of the idea. He
was an Irish born; but naturalized,
American citizen. A professor on
the faculty of the state university.
A disciple of the elder LaFollette.
Uncouth in appearance, but with a
mind as sharp as a needle point. I
well remember the explanation he
gave me of his basis for the idea.
He said: "The American govern
ment is a big, a very big, business.
It is operated by selected officials of
those who own the business, the citi
zens of the nation. Those selected
officials, the President, senators and
representatives, are picked on a
'one man one vote' basis. Those
who have millions of the national
wealth have but one vote, as do
those who have practically nothing.
That system works.
The same thing will work in
any other corporation. The man
who has 1M cows has one vote,
the man with hot one cow has
one vote." In Wisconsin it Is
optional to incorporate under
the law, or the older established
one of representation by Invest
ed valnes, but where it Is used
I understand It has worked. I
cannot visualize it working as
n basis of organisation fee our
large Industrial corporations.
He classed it as representing
human rights as opposed to
property rights.
? ? ?
Emery Reves, considered the
keynoter for the world state pro
ponents, Insists the only way of
preventing International war Is
the formation of a world govern
ment to Include all nations. Ho
bases his claim for the effective
ness of such a world government
on the federation of our states.
What can such a federation of
nations accomplish that UNO
cannot accomplish? We eaa have
a world civil war quite as easily
as a world International war. Wo
demonstrated that In the eight
een sixties.
? ? ?
WE NOW HAVE 18 government
bureaus concerned with the prob
lem of housing. On the claim they
are not doing an efficient job con
gress is considering the creation of
another. The bill, however, does
not provide for the elimination of
all, or any one, of the present in
efficient bureaus. That is how gov
ernment grows.
? ? ?
A WORLD-WIDE FEAR of utter
destruction may prove a preven
tive of war.
? ? ?
INFLATIONARY PRICES mean
but the decreased purchasing pow
er of money. We have better than
a SO per cent decrease now.
? ? ? i
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES
cannot always be measured by what
it costs. It is what fundamentals the
teacher puts into the mind of the
student that counts.
? ? ?
PAT DEDUCTIONS AND
EFFECT UPON PRICES
WHAT COMES OUT of the pay
envelope before the worker receives
it? There are four main deduc
tions, and, in a limited and decreas
ing number of instances, a fifth. The
employer must deduct 1 per cent of
each wage for social security, and
another for unemployment Insur
ance. To these the employer must
add an equal amount, which to him
is a part of his business cost. The
employer must also deduct from
each weekly or monthly payment
such portion of the worker's pay
needed to cover the worker's fed
eral income tax. These deductions
are made on demand of the gov
ernment. On demand of the union
the employer deducts such dues, as
sessments and fines as may be
charged against each individual
worker by his union. In such cases
as still exist where the worker is
purchasing government bonds on a
payroll deduction basis the employ
er takes out that payment.
Deductions from the pay ef
ths worker as a collection meth
od on the part ef government
or the anions means an added
expense for Industry and dis
tribution. That expense is add
ed to the cost ef doing business,
and we, the consumers, pay
it as a portion ef the price af
the commodities we buy.
? so
It Is a phase of the regimentation
with which we are being inflicted. It
is unAmerican. The unions, in de
manding the check-off system as a
means of collection, refuse to recog
nize the honesty and integrity of
their members. Such a system Is
as unAmerican as would bo the de
duction of payments due on install
ment purchases. There would bo
more "take home money" in the
pay envelopes If the check-off sys
tem was discontinued, and Uw cost
of commodities would be mas tor
all of us.
Sheep Rid of Ticks
By Improved New Pip
Rotenone Basis of
Effective Treatment
Sheep ticks are widely distributed
throughout the United States. Un
like the true tick, they do not stay
attached to one place, but move
about in the fleece, making a new
puncture each time they feed.
An economical and eflective dlp
ping solution for ridding sheep at
Enlarged male sheep ttek. They
are easy te km by the new rote&one
dip.
these ticks has been developed at
the University of California. It
consists of six ounces of derris pow
der containing 5 per cent rotenone
to 100 gallons of water.
Considerable labor is saved as the
solution is easy to prepare and one
treatment is sufficient. The rote
none kills not only the adult tick
but the eggs as well, and remains
effective in the fleece for several
weeks. The cost of the new dip
should not exceed 20 cents per 100
gallons. Allowing for replacement
of dip, the solution should not cost
more than 1ft cents for each ani
mal.
Improved Machinery
Silent Tractor
New client type tractor which bae
recently been placed on the market.
A silent tractor, particularly good
when the power takeoff is used
around the poultry or dairy barns.
There are 52 known uses (or the
power take-off, such as churning,
separating, feed grinding, pumping
and spraying.
The Bear Cat tractor, made by
Ellin wood Industries, Los Angeles,
is M per cent quieter than stand
ard models, due to new improved
type of muffler.
New Lamb Brooder
EXTENSION COkO
\ ANO SOCKET COrrtM CAN
Host of the materials needed for
this electric lamb brooder can be
found about the yard or farm. A
one-pound coffee can is suggested
for the reflector. If available, in
stead of wood, celetex or plywood
Is ideal material for this type of
brooder.
A 100-watt light bulb will prove
satisfactory, with hardware cloth to
cover reflector hole. Burlap, canvas
or similar material may be used for
curtain.
Result of Terracing
Farmers have bad the value of
terracing, along with other im
proved farming methods, brought
home to them forcefully by the war
and its requirements.
Better yields result when sloping
lands are terraced to control ero
sion and conserve moisture, partic
ularly when supplemented by the
best cropping practices. The type
of soil, degree ef slope and amount
i of water to be handled determines
the type of terrace beat suited.
