So home. conclusive. A considerable majority voted against an increase in income tax, and at the same time there was a majority vote against any form of sales tax, which had been suggested both as a substitute for and as an ad- dition to other forms of tax.

Among the — jections to the tax as pointed out b: + the committee are that it produces inequities; that it is difficult of ad- ministration; that price reductions will decrease revenues from source, and that the tax encourages extravagance. A striking reaction was shown in the vote against increasing income taxes. It was obvious to the voters that such increases would fall on the middle class of incumes, since llt- tle more can be derived from small- er incomes and because taxes already are so high on the larger incomes that those receiving large incomes are investing in tax free securities 3 and thus defeating the purpose of the tax. —— obtained by rev conducted without a search warrant cannot be admitted in court proceed- ings, the Supreme Court ruled today in setting aside the conviction in ,South Carolina of Lawrence Amos. y . taxes be| _ levied partly to take the place of the} s a replacement—for, | this | Whitehall, Ind. | Bx ANCE EXACT CENTER OF LNITED STATES POPULATION—Mr. and Mrs. John E.

Fashions By “MARJORIE.” (Written for United Press.) CLEVELAND, Feb. 28.—The mid- western women are championing the cause of conservative fashions. The shopping district of this citv has been offering spring styles for some weeks. Everything, however —dresses, shoes, hats, gloves, coats, wraps and suits—are quite different from the garish, frilly effects as seen in the Fifth avenue shops in New York. Most window displays are featur- Winter _ Tues. Garden ing a pale pearl gray and delft blue. This color schema is used in hats, dresses and blouses. Blue taffeta, barred and checked, with the gray and gray silks-striped with the blue, are very conspicuous. These crisp little taffetas continue the winter line of low waistline and wide’ ribbon sash. Afternoon dresses favor grav georgette or crepe de chine. They are cut with the loose mandarin sleeve, flowing bell cuff, and are often beaded with pearl or irridiscent. beads down the long front panels. Glycerined ribbon sashes with huge bows are used in a contrasting color. Coats are almost entirely in the castor or tan shades. ‘They are made of soft pile fabries such as peach- bloom, duvet de laine, or bolivia and are embroidered in a harmoniz- ing floss, The majority, of the mod- els have the loose, unbelted back with convertible choker collar. One of the most radical coats shown upon Buclid avenue was of midnight blue peachbloom cut a ‘la cossack, It butoned with huge metallic buttons from hem to nar- row shoulder. The unbelted back fell in supple folds and the entire: effect was of the foreign military. Hats also approve of gray and blue combinations. Chapeaux of crepe de chine'or silk fabric com- bined with glazed straws are being worn considerably here. In fact, the midwest lady donned her spring “lia” with fully as much titne to spare as had the Gotham woman of fashion. : Little ribbon dingledangle and frayed silk streamers that hang over that hat brim and whisk, the ear lobes are’ the favored form of hat trimming. ‘There seems to be a, dearth of. feather trimming. Stiff flowers made of patent leather, kid or metal imitations are first in favor. The midwest woman is gradually reaching the stage where she does not gasp at a semi-revealed knee. During the winter months, skirts were of quite a demur length, but they are going up as the new season comes in. —>—_—_— Subscribe for The Tribune. st.
