DISAGREE D n
XMAS CHEER

BY ROBERT s. THORNBURGH
Wet and dry leaders in the
National Capital sharply dis
agreed today as to the amount
Of Christmas cheer trickling
through the United States for the
holiday season.
The drys said Christmas was
dryer than last year,
while Government officials as
serted that there il virtually no
good liquor" or high voltage
beer available.
The vets, however, insisted that
the nation IL flooded with a fine
quality 81 vet goods, ranging
from imported Scotch and cham
payne to the dew Of the south
ern mountains and that Christmas
and New Year win be the most
hilarious since prohibition.
SmuggIers Defy Law
Whisky smuggIers have made
ARRANGEMENTS to bring their rum
ships directly to the wharves Of
the important ports, where liquor
is landed into trucks for prompt
delivery to the thirsty consumers,
according 10 q. G. Hinckley, secre.
tAry Of the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment.
"In the interior OF the country
conditions are no better" Hinckley
"One Of our observers reports
that the fight for modification OF
the prohibition amendment IL MAX
ing no progress in the South. There,
Il was stated, the people have no
difficulty In getting all they want
to drink. Either they manufacture
1t themselves or buy It from their
neighbors at very reasonable
price,"
Vice Among Students
ainckley asserted that bootleg
liquor has brought about a deplor-
able condition OF vice and debauch-
cry among high school boys and
girls. Wild parties and a breaking
down Of moral standards among
young people is the rule rather than.
the exception, according to Hinck-
ley.
Reports indicate that there has
been a tremendous landing of booze
for the Christmas season all along
the Atlantic Coast" he said. Gen.
l.. C. Andrews estimates that for
every gallon of liquor struggled In,
eleven gallons are produced domes-
tically."
Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for
the Anti-SaIoon League, declared
that ION the whole Christmas is
dryer than a year ago in most OF
the country" He added:
1.-THE reasons are these:
I'VE have ten new regulations
to prevent the diversion of non
beverage liquors to beverage pur-
poses, regulations for which we
have been fighting for a long time.
Under the Governments reor'
gaflized prohibition system respon-
sibility for enforcement has been
more nearly located.

PLAN new TOMB
FOR FIELD
Nv International News Service

CHICAGO, Dec. 25.--Eugene Field,
the chiIdren's poet, who for thirty
years has slept the long sleep under
a small headstone in Graceland
Cemetery here, soon will have a
new resting place in the solemn
splendor' Of Holy Comforter Church,
at Kenilworth, fashionable north
shore suburb.
Announcement was made at
midnight festival Of the church
shortly after his famous "Wynkefl,
Blynken and Nod had been recited.
The Field family, after years of
refusal, finally had agreed to the
removal of the body, it was said.
The new tomb will be in the
close of an laborate cloister to be
named after the poet. A plain slab,
upon which some of Fields verses
will be carved.
Another announcement about Field
was made simultaneously. The Chit
cago Historical Society will repro
duce the poets working room, into
It going many of the furnishings
of the original room.
This is made possible by the de-
cision to wreck the old Field home
here, kept all these years much as
it was when Field died in 1895.

ANT|-D. c. BLOC
DISAPPEARS

The District Of Columbia does not
have as many enemies In Congress
as 1t had few years back.
The Old Guard of dyed-in-the-wool
baiters Of anything and everything
that pertained to Washington and
its hosts of Government workers
has largely disappeared or changed
it's tune.
Even Senator Reed Smoot. who
used to take q fall out Of the
Government clerks every time q
bureau chief suggested that he re-
quired an additional messenger or
typist, is much more moderate and
even benignant toward the civil
service workers these days. He
never breathes fire and birthstone
in their fares any more.
As for Tom Blanton ofo Texas.
who used to fight the District from
hell to breakfast" he has shifted
his tactics entirely since the half
arld-half or the 6Os40 plan was
abandoned by Congress. Whatever
his motive, he casts an approving
eve now on a number OF local In
situations and supports legislation
fbr the Improvement Of the National
Capital with real Texas ardor.
Senator William III. King. never
really classed as q member OF the,
anti District bloc In Congress, mas
often, nevertheless, been severe
critic of local administrative policies
and has blocked many an item OF
legislation because it took more
money out OF the Treasury than he
thought the District ought to have.
Senator King now, hwever, Is
notably moderate and sympathetic
in his attitude toward local affairs.
despite his recent suggestion that
an income tax should be imposed
upon it's inhabitants.
Until a few years ago there was
a fixed idea in the minds OF many
Senators and congressman that the
citizens of Washington were para
sites, so far as taxation was con-
oerned.
Now, however, this impression
Ii fading away. Not the least of
the factors bringing about better
feeling between Congress and the
Capital City Is the fact that Piesi,
dent Coolidge is a firm friend Of
the city's development, and is using
his influence in many ways to pro-

LONDON, Dec. 25.-Ambassa-

worry about this Christmas.
Official announcement was
made today that the King and
Queen will, hold two courts at
Buckingham Palace next spring.
That means that applications
of American women, who wish
to be presented, are now in
order.
About forty American women
will be presented. At the last
court there were over 800 APP
plications for presentation, and
only forty were presented, leaN-
ing some 400 women disap-
pointed. The selection of those
to be presented rests with the
ambassador.

High Collars in Smart Costumes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

After all has been done and all has
been said about the new Autumn
there doesn't seem to be so
very. much that is new or different.
Observers seem to differ in their
summing Of the new things, but they
all stress one thing, and that Is the
high neckline. You may not like it
If you are an American you prob
ably do not-but the fact is that
French fashions are most assuredly
getting back to the high collar. You
may not like to wear it, you may per
sonally find 1t very unbecoming, but
after you have seen all the new Digh-
collared frocks and blouses and jump
ers you will probably admit that there
is something very smart about it. We
they say, ask first whether
a frock Is becoming; the French wom-
an asks whether it Is smart. Becom-
ingness is Of secondary Importance.
Perhaps that Is why the high collar
has been adopted so much more gen.
orally in France than in this coun-
try.
New and truly smart in appearance
are the high-necked jumpers worn
with tailored coats or Jackets having
the conventional coat collar. We had
become so accustomed to the sight of
a coat collar resting directly against
a bare neck that we had forgotten
how much smarter is the effect Of a
high collar worn beneath. Even with
the frocks that are collarless there is
a tendency now to make them fit
closely at the back Of the neck. Little
by little the comfortable old bateau
neckline that was low at the sides
and back as well as at the front is
passing off the stage Of fashion.
The sketch shows some of the in
