 Quarrel Takes Place
 A quarrel developes between a broker and some inebriates, who bump against him and members of his party. There is a struggle and a shot, after which a murdered man is discovered sitting stiffly in a seat.
 With thirty persons to choose from, not even Killian-a hard boiled police inspector-can tell who committed the crime. There's even a catch as to how it was com mttted-it looks like a shooting but it isn't.
 Jack, Holt plays the inspector with convincing realism. Aileen Pringle enlists sympathy as Dale Tracy and Jason Robards makes the broker, Bordon, a likeable young New Yorker. Fred Kelsey, William Humphrey, and Ethel Wales score in character roles. Fred Newmeyer directed.

THREE STATE CONVENTIONS
State Conventions Disclose Increas-
ing Interest in Prohibition Issue

Ohio Kentucky and Michigan have re-
Gently held their annual state conven-
lions The Ohio convention was unique In
that the entire program took place in
period less than thirty hours. Some new
attendance records were set and the en-
thusiasm of the delegates who crowded the
Southern theater where the meetings were
held was at high pitch and sustained to
the end.
The Kentucky one-day convention fol-
lowed a Louisville annual field day.
unique feature of the Kentucky conven-
ton was a special pre-vieW presentation
of the new all-talking film, Ten Nights
in a Barroom." Invitation cards were is
sued by the League and distributed
through the churches on Sunday. More
than 600 attended this special conlpli-
mentary showing.
The Michigan convention, held in De-
troit, was unusual for state conventions In
that it commenced in the middle of the
week. on Wednesday evening and con-
tinued with the closing session on Sunday
afternoon which was part of the annual
field day. A special feature of the day ses-
sions was the open forum discussions
with questions written by delegates and
visitors answered by speakers and League
officials This resulted in thorough consid-
Grafton of an unusual number of phases
of the problem. During one session two
representatives of the Women's wet organ
ization came and took part in the dis

INCOME AND REVENUE TAX
Plea of VETS That Liquor Reve-
nue. Would Reduce Income Tax
Viewed in Light of Europe's
Experience

Some wealthy vets have protested
against prohibition on the ground that it
has increased the income tax. They have
assumed that if the traffic in alcoholic
beverages were restored, the revenue tax
would relieve them of the burden of in
come taxation.
It is beautiful and happy mirage
which they see in the desert of prohibi-
tion-an oasis with plenty to drink and no
income taxes to pay. The New York
Templar, however, furnishes a comparison
of income tax rates in the United States,
England and Germany, which causes the
mirage to fade away.
Personal tax exemption in the three
countries is as follows:
Single 1ndn-United States, $1,000;
Great Britain, $500; Germany, $3.50.
Married man-United States, $500;
Great Britain, $1375; Germany $3.50.
Each dependent States, $500;
Great Britain, $3.50, and $500 additional
for each child; Germany, $120, and $3.50
additional for each child.
formal tax exemption in these three
countries is as follows: United States, Y
per cent on the first 81 900 and per cent
on the next $4,000; Great Britain, 10 per
cent on the first 81 $50 and 221a per cent
on the next; Germany, 10 per cent on the
first $1,000 and II per cent on the next
$1,000.

FINLAND'S NEW BEER

According to recent press dis
patch from Helsingfors, Finland,
the new. beer now on sale in that
country, with the alcoholic content
raised from 1.6 per cent to 2.25 by
parliament, has aroused tremendous
public excitement.
Breweries have been compelled to
work overtime to supply the de-
mand, it is said, and it was COM
puted that distribution over the first
weekend of sale in Helsingfors
alone was large enough to permit
every person in the city to consume
one bottle of the strengthened bev-
erage.
The new beer is supposed to be
trif1e more palatable than the old,
but its sponsors say it remains en-
tirely notwithstanding.

NEWSPAPER REPORTERS CHARMED
BY THESE WOMEN
Wet Reporters Evidently More I'm
pressed by Beautiful Gowns of
Women Than by Their
Arguments for Return
of Liquor

The whisky women" who are seeking
10 tear down the prohibition law have
loyal friend in the wet press and the wet
magazines. The outlook and Independent
for instance reports the meetings held last
week in washington by the wet and dry
women's organizations. It SCOTS at the
idea that the dry organizations repre-
sented 100000 women but never ques-
tons the claim of the wet women that
they represent 100000. Their line of argu-
ment is that the dry women were includ-
ing clubs and civic organizations in their
count which no doubt were made up OF
members not at all unanimous in support
of prohibition. Apparently, however, the
editor assumed that every woman counted
by the wet organization is an outSpoken
opponent of prohibition.
But the correspondents of the wet news
papers outdid themselves in handing bou-
quets to these wet women. Here is the
way one Washington correspondent to an
Ohio paper gushes over the women dele
gates to the wet convention to the extent
of column. Here is sample paragraph:
Looking over several incidents of that
specimen in the convention room of
the w. o. N. P. r.. CThe Women's
ORGANIZATION for National Prohibition
Reform) this week young impression
able reporters were impressed prin-
cipally by their smartness. their ele-
gance their good care of their clothes
and their good care of their looks.
They were individually q striking
crowd from that point of view. They
went farther toward altitudinous av-
erage of social charm than any other
convention that Washington has wit
messed in our day.
And so it went on to the end of the
chapter.
Yes. no doubt, they are fairly represent
tative of a certain class of society women
who have the means to dress we'll and who
are largely free from household cares
other than the petty annoyances incident
to social activity. We venture the guess
that there were no women in that crowd
who had ever been compelled to earn a
meagre wage over washtub to provide
food and clothing for her children be-
cause the husband and wage-earner was
squandering his pay check in the corner
saloon in the good old license days"
There are tens of thousands of such wom-
en- in America today who are experiencing
home comforts now that never knew them
when the liquor traffic was rampant Their
hands may not be as soft, their nails SO
polished nor their skins so fair, certainly
their gowns not so elegant but their hearts
are true and they have votes
The society women may fight for their
cocktails and their imported wines but
these women will fight for their homes
and their children.
On the other hand everybody, save wet
cub reporters, knows that the whisky
women do not have monopoly on refine
ment, culture and beauty.

WHISKY MAYOR WINS

Mr.. E. E. Roberts, who advocated the
placing of open barrels of good corn
whisky on the streets was reelected mayor
of Reno, Nevada Mr.. Roberts also in
cluded in his campaign platform easier
divorces and open gambling. 1t must be
admitted that Mr.. Roberts was consistent
in that he advocated things which belong
together.
Now there is a great rush of gamblers,
divorce seekers and beer runners to Reno.
If all belonging to those classes would
buy a ticket to Nevada's capital, the rest
of the nation would enjoy blessed peace.
