THE POLITICAL WHEELS OF
| WASHINGTON
Rv James L. West

Washington, Feb. 25-Appropriat-
ing that they are without any definite
program, the Democratic hosts at
their gathering on Washington on
March 5, apparently will undertake to
lay down set of principles.
Gossip has it that the party leaders
out of Congress are very much con-
cerned over the record made by the
party in this regular session of the
list Congress.
Various proposals for raids on the
Treasury and for the establishment of
a Federal dole system have caused
concern because of the expressed de-
sire Of Chairman John J. Raskob and
others to convince business that the
Democratic party is not inimical to its
interests.
During the last campaign Mr..
Jouett Shouse, National Executive
Committee Chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, in radio
address conceded that the party was
without a program looking to an i'm
provement of conditions in the coun-
try, and certainly no program has
been developed at this session of Con-
gress.
This is conceded by so staunch a
Democratic paper as the New York
Times which says: "The meeting is
at the end of the short session of
Congress, during which the Demo-
Gratis have developed no program"
In advance of the meeting of the
Democratic National Committee, there
has been much speculation as to what
will be the status of Chairman Raskob
when the session is over.
Same political observers predict
that he will resign, but others insist
that under no circumstances would he
quit under the fire which is being
leveled against him by leaders from
the southern and some western states.
Many are wondering whether the
dry Democratic leaders from the
south and west will make an effort to
unhorse him, but the consensus is
that such an effort would fail and,
consequently, will not be made.
Even should Mr.. Raskob relinquish
the craftsmanship he still would be the
mortgage of the party as few be-
lieve that any plan of refnancing that
might be adopted could be carried out
with success
And, yet a very real feeling of dis
content has developed because of the
mortgage" which Mr.. Raskob holds
on the party. Of more than 100000
owed by it he has advanced more
than one third and endorsed notes
for most of the balance.
In connection with the meeting
there is much discussion of prohibit
ton. Some leaders in Washington
predict it is the fixed purpose of those
responsible for the calling of the ma
tional committee to put the party or
ganization on record at the earliest
possible moment in behalf of
straigh out repeal provision.
Others assert with equal confidence
that there will be no effort to commit
the party on the prohibition question
in advance Of the 1882 convention.
Whether prohibition is injected the
meeting is certain to be lively one
with probably much acrimonious dis
cussion on a number of subjects.

Style - and Where to
 Get it
 I A French official, called upon to issue a passport to a worthy lady of his ac- quaintance, who was ex- tremely vain of her per- sonal appearance, despite a trifling disfigurement, de- scribed her with true Gallic courtesy, as follows: Il Slight, auburn hair, eyes dark, beautiful, tender and expressive, but one of them missing.
 I Which brings to our mind that all ready-for- service clothes might be described in a similar fash ion: Well-made, reasonable in fabric, relatively econ- omical, but style missing. T Now, it is hardly neces- sary to add, that no amount of glossing over can atone for the loss of an eye, or the absence of style in a mans clothes.
 I Not though a man con- form to the last-minute vogue of fashion can he afford to dispense with the need of style in the tailor ing. For style is every thing, though it is an easy matter to get it, unless you use judgment in selecting a tailor.
 I But of the many sugges- tions we might offer for your guidance. in selecting your tailor, we shall here .confine ourselves to what 7 we regard as the most i'm portant thing of all. II Make up your mind that you can no more expect to get style in clothes by dealing with your tailor through a second person, than you can hope to make love to a girl by sending Jack roses to her best friend. II Personal contact with your tailor, Gentlemen 8 that's the thing - and that's us.

BERLIN, March Acknowledgement OF
D 200-horsepower vest pocket" motor
weighing only IA pounds, which is ex-
pected 10 revolutionize long distance
airplane flying, has been accomplished
by Paul Heylandt, a German expert on
liquid gases.
With Max Waller the inventor last
year surprised the world with a rocket
motor, propelled by recoil caused
through igniting liquid air mixed with
gasoline. Herr Heylandt will arrive In
New York for visit soon.
Motor Thought Superior.
BY improving and enlarging his
rocket motor, which originally weighed
z pounds and then yielded IS to 40
horsepower, Heylandt now feels he has
a motor that surpaSses any gasoline
motor for economy, simplicity and
safety.
by May or June we will be able to
demonstrate that a continuous Strearc
of propulsive energy can be created by
our invention, which is superior TO
powder rockets, where the stream is
sporadic" he said. I'VE are concerned
this year with showing, first, that our
reconstructed motor is dependable and
safe and, second, that chauffeur must

Heat and Cold Proof.
"Our motor is so heat and cold proof
that it no longer blows out as it did
last year at times Throughout the
Winter we have been improving our ma
terials and determining what maximum
combustion can be effected without
SCATTERING the motor.
Unfortunately, the only field avail
able for demonstrations is at the Tenn
pelhof Airdrome, where the track is fiat
at the curves and the straightaway is
short. Consequently, we do not expect
q racing car can be driven there faster
than 100 miles an hour. Eventually we
may test IL out at a better ficld
"All this Is merely preparatory to our
final goal of developing a motor for
Transatlantic flying. Lam in no hurry
about this, for place safety and SCI

Goodman Given Five Days
to Answer Court.

James P. Goodman, the life term
er at the Indiana state prison who
has studied law and now is trying
to get himself out, was granted five
days by the supreme court today to
file an answer in his case now pend

After turning lawyer while in
prison, Goodman began an original
action in the high court to man
date Judge J. L. Peaks of St.
Joseph superior court two to permit
him, Goodman, to file for a writ
Of habeas corpus.
Peaks answered by saying he had
never stopped the filing of such a
petition since it never had been
sought by Goodmans lawyers.
Goodman wired Chief Justice
Clarence E. Martin for the five days
in which to reply. His telegram
says he will produce fifteen letters
from his lawyers showing that they
say that they did try such action
before Judge Peaks, but were re-
fused.
Goodman was sentenced by Peaks
as an habitual criminal after three
forgery convictions.
