Farm Girls Put
Records Beside
Their Brothers
Canning, Preserving and Home
Decorating Show Results
of Progress
Chicago How the farmer's daugh
ter is matching the progress being
made in agriculture with progress in
the arts of home-maki ng is demon
strated in exhibits at the i-H Club
building at the International Live
stock Exposition here.
Men as well as women look ad
miringly at the displays of glass jars
of wild blackberry jam from Wash
ington, figs from Florida, ground
ehorries from Minnesota, peas from
Massachusetts, each jai the work cf
a 4-H Club girl who has learned
new and better ways of preserving
the products of the farm.
Some of the contestants presented
a series of jars, the contents of which
would make an entire meal. They
called it an "emergency shelf."
When the snow piles high around
the farmhouse and a trip to town is
out of the question, the modern
farm girl can take down the result
of her summer labors. Florence
Dressel of Logan County. Oklahoma,
who won a championship for her can
ning, offered as a menu a dinner of
baked chicken, mashed potatoes, hat
biscuits and watermelon preserves
with fruit tor dessert.
Interior decorating, an art of the
modertl farm girl, is also exhibited
here. Mail order catalogue furniture
has no appeal for these 4-H clubs
ters. They have learned to appre
ciate the old things to be found in
many a farm loft and they have ac
quired the skill of restoring them.
Ruth Stokes, an Iow.i farm girl,
v. ho won the blue ribbon in the home
improvement contest, showed good
toste in her use of old things, pos
sessions of the pioneer grandparents.
'Sentiment, coupled with limited
means, kept my family faoni discard
ing them." she said, thankfully. To
the exposition she has brought the
actual pieces she refinished for he!
study corner. In dre.-sniaking th
girls proved themselves not only
skillful technicians but good stylists
Their outfits have the smart simplic
ity that one finds in the more ex
pensive shops. Ruthe Nance of Ful
ton County, Georgia, won the blue
ribbon for a clothing exhibit.
Women play a laier part in the
live-stock show itself than would ap
pear at first glance. Just fis the farm
itself is a partnership of man and
woman, so are many of the stock ex
hibits. After the judging is over and
the interested onlookers gather about
the grand champions, it is not at all
unusual to find the entire family of
the winning farmer gathered proudly
about the animal. And usualiy mo
ther and the girls give out important
facts about the champton with as
much authority as the men folks. At
the exposition, however, they prefer
to keep in the background.

DRY ACT REPEAL URGED
Washington A call from three
prominent democrats for repeal of
the eighteenth armendannit was
sounded Friday night before a gath
ering cf the Women's Organization
for National Prohibition Reform.
Senator Tydings of Maryland, joined
with Representative Mary T. Norton
of New Jeidey, and Mrs. Carroll Mil
ler of Pit csburg'.i, in contending that
prohibition had failed and in fore
casting its early abolition. Tydings.
who led a fighi last session against
poisoning of alcohol by the govern
ment said he believed in the recent
elections "the death knell was sound
ed to ten ycirs of barbarism."
"The wets.." the Maiyrandor add
ed, "are not opposed to law anti or
der, and do not believe that legisla
tive acts, even if apparently inequit
able, should be ignored, but thev do
I not believe that 5.31 persons sitting
ion Capitol Hill should regulate the
: individual lives of persons in every
hamlet and city of the country."

Income Taxes
Reduced Rates Effective Past Year
to Lpse; Old Ones Restored
On March Returns
Washington. D- C Dec. 5 The
oucstion of a continuation of this
year's income tax rates is now re
garded as definitely settled. No se
rious attempt for new legislation will
apparently be made in the present
session in view of the recommenda
tion of President Hoover and Secre
tary Mellon against a continuation of
the lower rates. In the absence of
further legislation the lower rates
lapoe and the rate3 in effect prior to
:his year are re.-tored.
There are individual senators and
representatives who believe the ad
ministration could have made possi
ble by temporary financing expedi
ents the continuation of the reduced
income tax rates. They will be pow
erless, however, to do anything about
it in view of the fact that members
of the house ways and means com
mittee, which would have to origin
ate legislation, r.nd the senate finance
COtmnittee, whh h would have charge
of it whenever it reached tne senate,
ire overwhelmingly in favor of abid
ing by the recommendation of the
;roLident and Secretary Mellon.
The individunl income tax rates
which will be in egect for returns
to be filed in March on 19v0 incomes
for which taxes are paid in 1931,

Commission
Pretests Against Orders Are Taken
Up to Supreme Court Is
sues Presented.
Washington, Dec. 5. Federal con
trol over broadcasting was attacked
today in the supreme court.
Two cases from Chicago challenged
radio commission authority to require
stations to cease broadcasting or to
reduce power and change wave
lengths.
Congress directed the commission
to zone the country and regulate
broadcasting. Under this the com
i mission ordered Clinton R. White,
I operating station WCRW at Chicago,
to reduce power and refused to re
new the licenses of stations WMBB
and WOK at Homewood, near Chi
cago, operated by the American Bond
and Mortgage company and by Tria
non, Incorporated.
The stations, claiming property
rights protected by the constitution,

challenged its authority but the fees
eral district court at Chicago sustain
ed the Commission. The circuit court
of appeals asked for instructions on
varlo'.is constitutional questions.
Solicitor General Thacher, for the
I commission, contended it MM only
I could erercise a regulatory power,
but could refuse to renew old licenses
! when such action was deemed neces
sary to improve indio reception.
Counsel for the broadcasters said
congress had made no provision to
compensation them f r the property
which the commission's order would
destroy and thai the radio acts it had
passed were therefore invalid.
