SENATOR RAPS
MOVE TO PINCH
LIQUOR BUYER
Hawes of Missouri to Lead
Fight Against Changing
VoIStead Act.

b. Scrip r HoWard Netc.DdDcr iiiaHce
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-Senator
Harry B. Halves OF Missouri today
assumed the leadership of the fight
in congress against the amend
ment to the Volstead act proposed
by Senator Sheppard of Texas to
make the buyer of liquor equally
guilty with the seller.
Senof0r Halves, one of the fore
"1o=. advocates in congress Of in
aivid"al liberties, is preparing to
counteract at every opportunity the
campaign Sheppard has launched in
behalf of his proposal.
Sheppard's plan, in the opinion of
prohibition enforcement, will i'm
pede law enforcement and promote
the Afissourian, instead of helping
lawlessness."
1T would give additional security
to the bootlegger. provide a new
field for the blackmailer, and create
an enlarged gangland,'" Senator
Halves said Thursday night in his
opening broadside against the pro-
poSal. delivered over a nation wide
radio hookup.
II am convinced that this pro-
posed legislation would be a boon to
the bootIegger. 1t would be his
insurance policy, his guarantee of
immunity. 1t would increase his
earnings, enlarge his power in the
underworld, and make more secure
his position before the courts.
Convictions would become tn
sreasingly difficult. In this new sit
uation, either the seller or the buy
err could claim constitutional i'm
munity from giving testimony which
would incriminate him"
Senator Halves vizualizes. he says,
what would happen If the Shop
pard plan should become a law.
ut would be a harvest for the
meanest of humanity, the spy, the
sneak and the informer. 1t would
be an opportunity for blackmail. an
opportunity for revenge, all created
by an amendment which would be
futile, and which instead of curb
ing bOotlegging would build it up
and make it more secure.
1T is quite certain that all boot
leggers will favor this so-called
Sheppard amendment"

a FORTUNE should lie within
N the hands of any novelist who
can go to Hollywood and have a
good time. He then would be in
command of a brsnd-new idea. OF
course, it would be necessary for
him honestly to enjoy himself. En-
thuSiasm can't be faxed.
If any such book ever Is sincerely
written, I, for one, will welcome it..
Out of the vast literature Of dis
approval which has been inspired
by our motion picture capital, a few
good books have come.
Carl Van Vechten's Spider Boy"
for instance, always seemed to me
merry tale. But by now am a
little weary of stories which under
take to show up the futility, ignor-
ance and general all-round worth
lessness of the film industry.
I am moved to this torpor by
reading Hollywood Grip of j. P.
NIcEvoy. Although it exploited a
synthetic sort of humor, Show
Girl" seemed to me an amusing
yarn.
Formula protruded from every
paragraph, but even though I was
we'll aware of the way the trick was
done, it seems to me a good one.
The encore is a shade unfortunate.

Once Enough

"TTOLLYWOOD GIRL" is rather
l. 4 dull business. Even more
HOPELESS than the task Of building
bricks without straw is the attempt
to use the same straw all over again.
Dixie Dugan should have been al
lowed to rest in peace. In the re-
vival, most of the pace and spirit
has departed. McEvoy set himself
too hard a job. He tried to reSur-
rect characters who never were very
much alive. 1t is impossible to live
again until you have done it at least
once.
And, in addition to this handicap,
the author undertook to create
comic situations around the concep-
ton that Hollywood is an intellec-
tual Sahara. Perhaps it is. 1 don't
know. I've never been there. But
surely this point of view has lost all
novelty. If director bites genius,
that isn't news any more.
Slight unseen, venture the asser-
ton that Hollywood and the motion
picture makers have received more
than their due share of Scorn. They
can't be as bad as all that. After
all. I have seen pictures in which
invention and artistry were present.
Somebody out there must have some
sense.

Spread

A NC HER phase of the question

is the way in which these insect
pests spread, once they have been
introduced into the country.
THE spread Of the Mexican cot

IN some respects significant" Pro-
fessor Herrick says.
"The weevil spread eastward over
the cotton belt, from its center Of
infestatiOn in Texas, with an ire
sistible yearly progress, despite all
state or local quarantine measures
instituted against it.
"The significant aspect of this
mir alton is that the weevil did not
Jump ahead and form isolated out
breaks here and there, but spread
outwards in uniform waves, passing

Professor Herrick calls attention
to the fact that the Mexican bean
beetle spread eastward in similar
fashion from Alabama, advancing
to the east and the north, year
after year. until 1t had reached
Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
all the South Atlantic states:
The corn-borer also spread In
similar fashion.

churia from the Lao to the YaIu.
But Russia, Germany and France
interviewed and induced Japan to
relinquish all this territory for the
sum Of 30,000,000 taels, and on Nov.
30, 1895, its evacuation was begun.
With adjacent territory Port Ar
