POIRET
TO Be ON AIR
Noted Designer of Wo-
mems Clothes on
Visit to u. s.

NEW YORK, Nov. Paul Poiret,
who is credited with freeing the
women Of the world from the volum-
inous, combining clothes of their
grandmothers. will make his Amer
lean radio debut on Thursday even
ing, Nov. Is, when he will launch a
new campaign for the Identification
of woman-his first appeal in the
United States against the thin boyish
figure, which has been the vogue
among girls and young matrons for
the last few years.
Poiret has just arrived from
France. The half hours program
will also include instrumental music
by q novelty orchestra and vocal Sc
lections by a quartet.
"The slim silhouette will always
have its place in fashion," said NJ.
Poiret, upon his arrival in this
country. "but i believe it is a mis-
take for wone who are not inclined
to slimness TO starve themselves to
achieve a boyish figure. merely to
satisfy a within Of fashion. The
rounded. natural figure. which more
readily lends itself to the ~accentua-
S@ta Va tNaANet Will NC luc clAuOQGlLS
Of the future"
Nj. Poiret has achieved interna-
tional leadership as a creator Of
women's styles in a comparatively
short time, being now only forty-five
years old. As a youth he observed
that small details Of dress frequently
changed a woman's entire appear
ance. He studied the women whom
he saw al fashionable Partisan as
semblies and made sketches Of what
their apparel was and might be. His
drawings were eagerly purchased by
dressmakers and he soon landed a
regular job with an established firm.
Since then. his rise to what amounts
almost Of dictatorship in woman's at
tire has been rapid and continuous.
The serenade Of Thursday evening
will be broadcast at 8 o'clock, East
ern Standard time, by the National
Broadcasting company and associated
stations.

ADVISES SNITH-RASKOB RESIGN
Says Refusal to Accept Democratic
Plank Puts Them Outside Party

John J. Raskob National Chairman OF
the Democratic Committee. Governor
Smiths campaign manager. addressed
letter to every delegate to the Democratic
National convention setting forth his
views on prohibition.
In reply to this letter John A. McSpar-
ran, observation-disclosures from PENNSYLVANIA
to Houston, demanded that Raskob re-
sign as national chairman and that Gov
Alfred E. Smith resign as Democratic
nominee for president Mr.. McSparran
was Master of the Pennsylvania State
Grange for ten years and Democratic
nominee for Governor of Pennsylvania in
1922. After summing up the Raskob let
ter. Mr.. McSparran concluded:
The best thing 1 can suggest is for
both of you to resign before you get the
darndest licking that any one ever got in
a presidential election, and give the party
a chance to take up real issues with men
who are willing to stand on legally
drawn platform"
Prefacing his remarks, Mr. McSparran
wrote to Mr. Raskob:
you we'll know that during that great
struggle such people as yourself and those
who are associated with you in the ma
tional association AGAINST prohibition
fought local option to The very last ditch
If the ideal way to handle the temper
dIlCc uueSblOu Is 10 40 away WlIn the
saloon and have local option on beer and
Wines why did not the vets put that
across when they had the votes to do so
and when local option was the thing pro-
posed?
IF your position and purpose was
honest you would work to do away with
the Eighteenth Amendment in the way
the Constitution provides; namely to sub
Stitute for the Eighteenth Amendment
some other enunciation on the subject.
"The Democratic convention at Hous-
ton was the only body of Democrats that
can legally write the Democratic platform
and when Al Smith refused in his tele-
gram of acceptance to abide by that
platform, he took himself outside the
party and now you as national chair
man by your effort to change the plat
form and make the Democratic party a
wet party also take yourself outside the
party, If you ever were in it."

Resolutions Adopted at 130th An
nual Conference Oppose any
Weakening of Dry Law

At the 130th annual conference session
of the Church of the Brethren held at
IlaVerne, California, June &c to July 3,
1923, the following declaration on prohibit
ton was made in the resolutions adopted:
Further be it resolved that the Church
of the Brethren reaf1irms her position on
the temperance issue; that we oppose any
attempt to modify, impair or weaken the
Volstead act or attempt to nullify the
Eighteenth Amendment Of our Constitu-
ton; that we support only such candi-
dates as are in sympathy with the amend
ment and who favor a faithful enforce
ment of the law.
Furthermore, we urge a continued
campaign of education concerning the evil
effects of liquor and alcoholic beverages,
that the people may come to realize that
the mere passage of laws will not assure
the desired end"

A new declaration of independence in
the United States is needed, thinks the
editor of the Manufacturers Record, of
Baltimore. On the cover page of recent
edition the editor says:
lover rs per cent of New York'S popu-
lation is of foreign stock, that is, born
abroad or born of parents one or both of
whom we're born abroad. Literally mil
lions of them are alien in thought and in
life to Americanism And yet that is the
element which through Tammany now
seeks to dominate the South and through
the South the country. :.
1--WE can not believe that the South Is
willing to sell its soul to the alien element
of New York and permit Tammany, with
all the rottenness Of its history, to domi-
nate not only the South, but America"
In the same issue the editor has an
article Governor Smith is His Own Plat
FORM" In that article he writes, among
other things:
"As contrasted with opportunist, semi
professional politicians the people of the
South as whole-the substantial, pa
triotic, self respecting average Southern
man and woman-are opposed to the
restoration of liquor in the land. They
are opposed to abandonment of the
American protective tariff on which
American standards of wages and living
are founded. They are opposed to that
Tammany Hall niSrlle which has cursed
New York state and city. They are OPP
posed to practically everything for which
Governor Smith stands and which he per-
sonally represents. ;.
SMITH, TANIMANY HALL PRODUCT
'To say, first, that Governor Smith is a
sself-made man., attaining his present po-
sition through sheer ability, and, second,
that Tammany Hall has been purified OF
It's evil ways, is false and ridiculous. Gov
ernor Smith is q Tammany Hall product.
Picked in early manhood to do Tam
manys work. he made good; onward and
upward, he was advanced to continue to
do Tammanys work. And always has he
done it in loyal and devoted and if must
be said, efficient fashion. Had he not
made good for Tammany he would not
stand where he does today.
MILLIONS OF N1ISSPENT MONEY
"As for Tammany having purged itself,
one has only to note the fearful scandals
rife in the New York City government
right at this moment. Sewer scandals in
volving millions of nisspent money have
brought indictments in Brooklyn Borough
and graft involving millions of dollars
In the Borough of Manhattan has just
brought other indictments.
1.-THE City of New York is In the same
sore straits still as it was in the days
when Tammany was brazen and defiant
