fight in the Legislature against betting

mittee, where IL was sent late last
night by a vote of 63 to 80. Through
the recommitment members of the
House will escape going on record as
actually for or against such legisla-
tion.
The necessity may arise for the
House and Senate fiscal committees
to ultimately report out both the Hall
and Williams bill This will not be
done. If at all, until the last possible
moment Such reports would not in
crease chances Of the legislation
passing
The Senate Finance Committee is
the custodian of the Williams anti
betting bill Both measures were
sent to the fiscal committee through
plausible arguments that proposed
amendments creating a state racing
commission had a large part to do
With the State revenue. With only
four days Of the Legislature left
neither bill can possibly pass both
Houses, IN view Of the attitude Of the
members. even IT neither escapes from
the committees.
Chairman Lloyd Wilkinson. OF the
Ways and Means Committee did pro-
mise while voting for the recommit-
mcnt that the Hall bill would be
quickly reported by his committee,
but from the position taken by others
Of the Ways and Means personnel the
bill will never again be allowed to
see daylight
While some of the legislators warm-
ly favor a Statewide racing COM
mission the general belief is that
Governor Goldsborough would veto
such a measure on account of his
bitter denunciation OF race track
gambling. This was the reason many
of the Democrats decided to dispose
Of the bill by seuding II back to the
committee.

decorations than have been permissi-
BILE for some seasons.
Many of the new bridal robes are
made of the fiimsiest materials, while
other girls prefer to keep up to the
conventional satin or brocade.
One of the new costumes is made;
of white chiffon over white satin with
wreaths of white roses and orange
blossoms about the tunic. Almost all
the wells are put in cap fashion in
wreaths of orange blossoms about the
face.
Bridal bouquets are larger and
more elaborate than ever.
Rhinestone buckles are worn on

neck of the brides bodice is cut
slightly low, the best taste decides
upon long sleeves.
