A Ull to repeal the 193 S "gin
marriage law" will be introduced
by the house committee on health
and public morals, that group de
cided late Monday. Objections to
the law have been that persons in
tending to marry could easily
evade the law by going to another
state and that control of marriage
'licensing thereby became a nation
al rather than a state problem.
The comrjittee discussed the
slot machine situation in the state.
More rigid laws banning machines
and a heavy tax on machines of
questionable legality were pro
posals suggested. A bill embody
ing these ideas may be introduced.
The committee also discussed
conditions in roadhouses In the
state. Members declared the sit
uation in roadhouses was intoler
able bat decided to await action
on the Knox liquor control plan
before submitting a bill.
i Mrs. Hannah Martin of Salem
is chairman of the committee. She
declared many youths were fre
quent patrons of the roadhouses
where hard liquor was being sold
openly and youths were frequently
to be, found totally Intoxicated.

THE First Lady of the Garden, o
course, Had a wide choice of fernery to
convert into finery. But all of it was
green ... and that grew monotonous.
So next we hear of her wearing furs!
For women, it seems, just must have
change. Everybody knows that a red
hat will cure the blues!
t
Most important of all, new clothes
for Mother seem to have a cheering
effect on the entire family. A success-
l w
ful little dress is wortK a song before
breakfast or a Grand Surprise Dessert
at dinner-time. So Wise Men (other
wise referred to as good providers and
model husbands) are falling in with
feminine plans to buy some new
clothes this winter . . . and here's why;
we say to act now, and save!
The sweatshop, and the flashy little
$2.88 silk dress, have passed out of the
picture together. There was no stand
ard of value for the sweatshop worker,
she toiled like a coolie for any wage
she could get . . . someetimes was
tricked into working without pay!
Now, the NRA codes in the dress
industry, as you know, have raised
wages, shortened hours, eliminated
child labor, and improved working
conditions all around.
This is a good thing for everyone
concerned. For the truth is that the
price of women's clothing had fallen so
low that no one could make a decent
living out of it. Wages went down and
down . . . workmen were laid off . .
human hands and heads, and their
products, too, seemed to have lost al
most all their real value
That is what the NRA codes are for
, to restore value to the common
things of life ... to make everytmt and
everything worth sometiiing again. J
And it's working! Wages are up.
Woolens have advanced 49'. Silk
and rayon dress goods 35. The price
of women's garments is bound to go
up.
So good buys, right now, are ripe
for picking, and prices won't even be
lower, they say, at January sales'. In
fact, tiiey will probably never again
be so low as they are today! Now is the
time to buy!
