Something for Everybody
SEW-YOUR-OWN spells
economy and a better
Wardrobe for all the
family, as these patterns
indicate. You can sew
at home during brisk
winter days and have a
new dress for all the family in no
time at all and at very little ex-
Pel_ e• When you sew, you spend
~y a fraction of what you would
~ally pay for dresses of this
~haracter. Enlist the family's en-
~- musiasm, and you can make win-
~ ter days cheery for all of you by
trim and tailored lines. Note that
it buttons from neck to hem and
that the waistline is belted to add
.a snug line. This is a young-look-
mg dress with plenty of swish for
the most fashion-khowing college
gi~1. Make it up for Spring in thin
Wool, alpaca or print crepe. You'll
like its clean-cut lines.
For Little Sister.
A copy of the popular Big AppIe
frock with the same flaring skirt,

girl will adore wearing, for she
likes these copy-cat fashions.
Make it for Spring school days of
chambrayi percale or cotton
broadcloth. For immediate wear,
dtryit in serge or flannel. It is a
russ that has flaring, graceful
li=tu.

GOLDEN VALLEY NEWS
Washington.--The month of Janu-
~e, 1938, has come and it is now
gone with the
Gettln~ wind. Dozens of
Nowhere big business men
have been called
to the White House for conferences
with the President on means of solv-
ing~ the depression problem. And
dozens have gone away from the
White House after those conferences
without any announcement from the
head of the government as to what
is to be done. Much conversation
and much noise---totaling much
conversation and much noise. That
was January at the White House.
A new session of congress started
with the opening of January. The
house and the senate appear actu-
ally to have no definite program;
certainly, no program for a con-
structive course that will lead the
country out of the terrific business
deeline. Instead, the senate has
been debating and debating a bill
to punish any community where a
lynching takes place and the house
has been indulging in its annual
sport of passing appropriation bills,
voting money without knowing too
much about the items for which it
votes. Southern senators filibustered
against the anti-lynching bill be-
cause of the problems, the burdens,
such legislation would load on them
and the northern Democratic sen-
ators seemed willing to let business
die, unemployment increase, etc., in
order to gain a few negro votes.
That was January in congress.
An analysis of the situation, there-
fore, would seem to be in order• To
do that, we have to go back to 1933
when President Roosevelt took of-
rice. The nation was in chaos. There
is no need to review those condi-
tions. The new President came in
with an overwhelming majority to
support him. His majority was so
large that he needed only to express
his view and it was translated into
action. The country liked the ag-
gressiveness thus shown. Members
of the bouse and senate, however,
developed a habit--not all of them,
but a majority of them. That habit
was one of waiting for the word
from the White House.
While this habit was growing,
business interests were pushed and
kicked around and generally given
to understand that they did not know
what the shooting was all about.
Like a country school boy, the busi-
ness man was sent to his seat and
told to stay there. Otherwise the
hickory stick would be brought into
use. Indeed, the hickory stick in
the form of several pieces of legis.
lation was laid onto the business of
the country, not as a pat on the
back, but much further down to-
ward the end of its spine. So busi-
ness, too, got the habit of standing
in the background. It was afraid to
venture forth.
Things began to look up. There
was something approximating good
business and it looked as if Mr.
Roosevelt's policies were correct in
every sense. But something hap-
pened; the boat struck a snag.
For several months last year the
administration refused to admit that
conditions were alarming. It was
Just temporary, officials said. The
covntry would pull out of it--and it
will some time if thera is anything
left. But the problem is immediate
and January has gone into history,
as did December and November.
It was in this circumstance that the
results of the habit formed in 1933
began to show the/r worst phases.
Business interests have gone to the
White House to tell their side of the
story, at the President's request,
and nothing has come of those con-
ferences.
In the criticism of congress, I did
not intend to indict all of the mem-
bership. There are
Some those who see
Exceptions their mistakes and
are willing to do
something about them. Unfortunate-
ly, they are in minority. Blind fol-
lowers of the President, generally
speaking, constitute the majority.
So that those who want to take con-
structive action haven't had an op-
portunity.
Lately, I heard Worth Clark, a
Democratic member of the house
from Idaho, make a radio speech on
this fact; or rather he touched on
this fact. Mr. Clark is a pretty
he.-boiled Democrat, but he be-
lieves he was elected to represent
his people and not to throw them
down simply because Ids party lead-
ership wanted to do something else.
In the radio speech that I men-
t/oned, Mr. Clark referred to mis-
takes that had been made in the
last five years and asked: "What is
the remedy?"
'Tirst," he continued in Ids an-
swer to that question, "we must
squarely face the problem. We must
realize that we have done some
things wrong. We must retrace our
steps where necessary and start
~tnew.
"One of the di/~culties involved
here is the Iaek of independence of
thought and courage among us in
congress. The worst l~ustice that
can be dane 8 great leader is to
blindly follow his every suggestion.
That frequently causes him to make
more mistak~ than he oth~wi~
Would. A man's best friends are
not those who crouch at his feet
with blandishment, flattery and sub-
servience. His real friends are those
who disagree with him when they
think him wrong and who give him
their utmost in support when they
think him right."
There are many others /n eon-
grass who feel as does Mr. Cl~rk
about the present situation. They
recognize, I think, that Mr. Roose-
velt must assume his fair share of
responsibility, as President, for the
current depression. It is apparent,
too, that he must assume responsi-
bility for the failure of some of his
policies in that he turned to "yes"
men for advice instead of recogrdz-
ing that there could be honest dis-
ag~e~i~ent with him bn the part of
many who desired to be helpful. It
is, in other words, another result
of the type of leadership that he has
assumed, a leadership that worked
without halt when everything was
hunky dory but a type that obvious-
ly will fail when the tide runs
against you.
Perhaps I was a bit unfair when
I said Mr. Roosevelt's conferences
with business men
Well~ T~at~s had yielded noth-
Somct~ ing. It is true that
he has "persuad-
ed" the automobile manufacturers
and finance companies to tighten up
the strings somewhat on installment
buying. It is likely that hereafter
an automobile finance company will
grant credit only for 18 months in-
stead of 24 months on the sale of a
car where deferred payments are
used. I do not know how that will
solve the current depression, but
that was the reason given for the
change in business practice. As a
matter of fact, experts in the De-
partment of Commerce said in pub.
lished reports in May, 1937, that a
majority of the finance companies
were holding to the 18-month limit
even then.
There can be no doubt that in-
stallrnent buying is a dangerous
thing because of the abuses that
accompany it. My objection to it is
the same as I have often stated in
these columns respecting other
types of debt. Any time debt is
made easy, there has been created
a fresh danger at the very same
time. Installment buying has beer~
generally used and the general re~
suit iS, as it was bound to be, that
hundreds of thousands of people
put themselves into debt. When
their income from wages or other-
wise was reduced, their installment
obligations became a burden that
had first call on whatever money
was available. In the case of the
automobile finance c0mpanies, it
seems clear that there have been
abuses. High pressure salesmen,
anxious to get commissions, drove
hard to sell cars "and you can pay
in two years." The companies found
out long ago, however, that the dan-
gers existed and they were trim-
ruing their commitments according-
ly. Since these sales are compara-
tively small in ratio to the whole
country's business, I think the White
House announcement will not result
in immediate restoration of pros-
perity.
And then its importance is further
minimized by the President's course
in another field,
Housing namely, hOusing.
Problem We all recall the
housing legislation
that was proposed as a panacea for
what was called a "recession" last
falL That legislation is approach-
ing conclusion now and will soon go
to the President for his signature.
So let us talm a look at its princi-
pal features .and find what they
mean.
The heart of the legislation was
a provision to permit the construc-
tion or the purchase of small homes
without much money as a down
payment. In fact, only 10 per cent
of the total cost of the property is
required as a down payment. Pri-
rate money lenders will finance the
other 90 per cent, and the federal
housing administration w/ll insure
that amount w/th government bonds
to back the insurance. So, It is soon
to be provided that I can buy a
house with a value up to ~,000 if I
have $600 to pay down. Anybody
can get himself into deep debt with
as much ease as the man on the
flying trapeze, and instead of obli-
gating himself for I$ months (as in
the case of the automobile) the buy-
er is hooked for about 15 years. It
is definitely unsound and will make
not the slightest bit of improvement
in general business.
Stewart MacDonald, the federal
housing administrator, ought to be a
good witness on the sotmdass of the
plan. When hearings were being
held in the house appropriations
committee, Mr. MacDonald was
asked about the idea of government
insurance of as mtmh as 90 per cent
of a debt.
"Do you think that that ~uilgdoo~a
busineu--to have a man
home without any more equity than
10 per cent?" asked Representative
Houston, Kansas Democrat.
"I don't think it is good business;
nO," replied Mr. MaeDomdd.

Curtsining Your Front Door.
yOUR front door greets your
friends before you do. Is it
dressed to look its best? Here are
some simple rules that will be
useful in selecting the material
and style for front door curtain-
ing.
Choose a fabric that looks well
on both sides and that harmonizes
with the outside color of your door
as well as with the color scheme
of the hall or room into which it
opens. A simple net curtain mate-
rial or plain silk are good to use
but if your door is white on the
outside think twice before you
choose the usual ecru or pongee
color. White net or silk of a
color to match the shutters or the
trim of the house will look infinite-
ly more attractive and will not be
too conspicuous. The curtains
may be made double with a dif-
ferent color on the inside if need
be. Pale yellow is another color
that is always safe to use as it
gives the effect of light shining
through the door.
These curtains should be firmly
anchored both top and bottom
so that they do not blow about
and catch in the door when it is
opened and closed. Both bottom
and top rods may be fastened over
hooks as shown here at A.

TIPS to
Gardeners
$~'a~ Them Indoors
TeOgMATO, cabbage, broccoli,
g plant and pepper crops
usually prove more satisfactory
when they are started indoors
from seed. The gardener thus
may use seed of a known variety
from a dependable source.
About eight weeks before plants
are to be set in open, sow seeds a
quarter-inch deep in good soil in a
regular florist's flat. Water thor-
oughly but not too frequently--
preferably on bright days.
Good sunlight and good air cir-
culation are important in prevent-
ing "damping off." Keep temper-
ature fairly even at 70 to 75 de-
grees. When young plants are
about one and one-halt inches tall,
transplant to a larger box or cold
frame, spacing about three inches
apart.
If the plants are grown in a box,
place them indoors in the shade
on six or eight mild days to hard-
en them off. When plants are set
in open soil, space them far
enough apart to allow for full de.
velopment.
