TALK ON LIQUOR PROBLEM
Speakers at Suffrage Club Favor
Gutenberg Plan.

DR.. Elgin r. L. Gould, president Of the
City and Suburban Homes Company. con-
fessed yesterday at a meeting of the
Woman Suffrage Study Club, at the home
of Mrs. Raymond Brown, No 294 West 94th
street, that twenty years ago he did some
thing which caused the prohbitonists to
consider him first cousin of the evil one"
He investigated the Gutenberg method of
handling the liquor traffic in Norway.
He described the method yesterday, and
said he heartily wished 1t could he employed
in this country He didn't appear to have
any great hopes that it would, though.
Whenever attempts have been made to in
troduce it in any town Of the United States
he said, the liquor interests and the pro-
hibtionists together defeated it,
''Yet the Gutenberg method. which con-
sists in putting the sale of liquor in the
hands Of stock companies composed Of the
best citizens, the most reputable men. and
selling IL according TO certain strict and
definite laws in regard to health, etc, has
turned Norway and Sweden from being two
of the most drunken nations to two of the
most SOBER" he said.
Dr. Edwin +. Slosson, Of "The Inde-
pendent" spoke for prohibition. G. A.
Fulton, Of the Excise Commission, urged
the women IF they ever stopped talking
and got to work and voted" TO reform the
excise law Of New York, which was a sad
muddle, and also to fix things so that any
town that wanted to could try the Gutten-
berg method.
The Rev, DR.. John p. Peters. Of ST
Michaefs Church. condemned the present
excise law, which he said was enforced for
revenue and not for the good Of the people,

1t is the part of womanhood to care how

But In the name of humanity. make It not

Right there lies one peril Of the bargain

elegance. That Is why foreigners satirize
the American habit of wearing diamonds
at breakfast. Often. no doubt. 1t Is done
as a matter Of precaution-just as women
who know better wear diamonds TO mar

Story of a Costly Gown
That Proved Inex-
pensive in the
Long Run.
BY Martha MccuIIoch Williams.

The last word has been said as to the
futility of bargains. All of US know. since
the thing is automatic, that what we do
not need or cannot use is dear at any
price: this, of course. unless its intrinsic
value is greater than the price. That sort
Of bargain is rarely offered consumers
since, II need or business Stress forces such
sales, there are agencies TO buy In block.
Notwithstanding. bargains have reason
for being-a real and legitimate reason 1t
is either to brsken slack trade by drawing
in a crowd OF customers, who buy many
other things at other than bargain prices,
else 10 turn into ready money surplus stock
otherwise carried over, at cost Of storage
and loss through changes in fashion. or
more rarely, to remedy somebody's bad
taste. whose concrete result IS ready-made
garments frightful to behold.
We who needs must count our pennies
should give thanks for bargains; we should
also pray for grace and wisdom TO use
them rightly. That is 10 say, before buy
Ing we should take stock of ourselves, as
II were, and resolve firmly not to be tempt
ed into purchases that will manifestly make
US figures of fun. II we bear the cross of

all the more need for such resolvings. Lack
Of It. or want Of thought is possibly re-
sponsble for the stout woman making Of
herself an animated layer cake, with trim
mlngs running round and round her skirt,
and the thin sister accentuating her like
ness to fagpole with stripes, broad, bold
stripes. from neck to instep.
Trimmings which cut the skirt length
are never desirable on a short woman.
even though she may be likewise slender
Short women need the distinction Of long
lines Drapings they may have, but the
drapngs require TO be soft and low-hang-
ing. A foot fiounce Is not often objection

Neither are deep tucks; they give an effect
of mass. 1t is the meaningless ruffles and
ruchings and pipings and applied trim
mlngs. which not merely disfgure the sill

ment hopelessly with its era.

PERSECUTION OF THE Gypsy
Forty-five Executed in Hungary In 1928
on the Charge of Being
cannibals.

The persecution of Gypsies recalls
the old belief that the Gypsies were
cannibals, and the methods by which.
judicial confirmation of the belief was
sometimes obtained In 1928 as Hun
garian Gypsies were executed on
this charge. First racked until
they confessed to murder. they were
taken to the place where their victims
were supposed to be buried and rack
ed again No bodies were discovered.
Therefore they confessed to eating
them, and were duly executed Joseph
IL sent commission down to inves-
ugate the case later and the entire
innocence Of the Gypsies was proved,
but history does not say what hap
pened to the witnesses for the prose.

Gypsies are still more or less "perse-
cuted," though in cur milder modern
sense of the word And no wonder A
couple of years ago it was stated on
official authority that in Hungary most
OF the serious crimes-murders kid
mapping and robberies-were committed
by Gypsies, and very few OF the of.
tenders were caught Gypsies are
mighty difficult customers to tackle.
When 1t was proposed in France that
all nomads should have identity cards,
to. be checked at each stopping place,
one OF them said to a Matin reporter:

such things" What can you do with
