The spirit of Thanksgiving
calls to mind the early use OF
pewter, as do the generous dis
plays of it in the Washington
stores. About the time that
the Thanksgiving festival was
inaugurated pewter was IN
widespread use in the young
American States. True, silver
was owned and used by the
families in better circumstances,
and the States had even de-
veloped a number Of fine silver
smiths, but pewter was still de-
pended on for general use by a
great many Of the citizens.
Frim this period most OF our
present-day pewter takes its In
spiration. It Is rugged, sturdy
and often quaint in shape.
though by no means lacking in
beauty. The shapes were sim
pie then, and those same de-
signs seem lovelieSt for US now.
Sometimes they were almost
crude, but life was often hard,
and our forefather needed cour-
age. The simplicity and dignity
of their life was expressed in
the form Of the furniture and
pewter, and it is the same that
we use today. As most Wash.
ington homes are Of an early
American period, this type pew.
ter fits particularly well into
them, and 1t is in particularly
good standing here.
Round low shapes are found
in most of the bowls, cream
and sugars, or jugs that come
to us from Colonial days,
CandlestickS often have a spool
effect, as did much of the fur
niture. PorringerS find many
uses today, from their original
purpose Of holding soup or por-
ridge, to even making practical
ash trays. OF course the pieces
are almost limitless, and all
Of them make excellent gifts,
now that Christmas is near,
and we must begin to plan for
it.
Pewter is now being used by
the Scandinavians for lovely
hand-hammered pieces. Their
designs are thoroughly modern,
but no less charming than the
early American. It fits beauti-
fully into modern rooms, but

HeS told" was the outstanding
statement in the opening speech
OF E. H, Dejarnette jr.. in his
campaign at Orange today for
Gne democratic nomination for
congressman from the eighth
virginia district.
Elaborating on this statement,
ne said, he was bitterly opposed
TO any return of the open saloon.
MS plan, he says, is very much
along the lines laid down by the
Mapes act which was Virginia's
VolsCead act before national pro-
nloltlon was established.
FavorS Higher Tariffs
Other changes he advocated are
higher tariffs on lumber and farm
products and the prohibition in
interstate commerce of rebating
oy manufacturers to large buyers.
He also advocates the repeal of
Virginia'S short ballot which was
introduced by ex-governor Harry
Byrd, who is being doomed as the
next democratic nominee for presi-
dent.
Dejarnette is 81, Baptist,
Mason and an Odd Fellow. He
went to school only two years
walking five miles each way
every day, with only one absence
in the two year period. With this
meager foundation, he studied his
brothers books and prepared him
self to enter the University of
Virginia.

He graduated from that institu-
ton in 1900 and has practised

HOME BREW APPROVAL
is DENIED BY WOODCOCK

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, october 22.-Amos w. w.
Woodcock, director of prohibition en-
forcement, told reporters here yesterday
in reply to their inquiries that recent
published reports quoting him as say
ing it is not unlawful to manufacture
beer and wine in the home for home
consumption were absurd"
81 never made such statement" he
said, because home manufacture of any
beverage containing one-half of / per
cent alcohol is Illegal and is spe-
cifically prohibited by the national pro-
hibition act
What have been trying to do is
direct enforcement activities against
commercial violators of the law and
liquor traffic rings on large scales,
which are much simpler propositions
than watching homes. I have instructed
the agents to stop the traffic at its
source and leave the maker of home
brew to deal with public opinion and
education"
