cents for hauls Of 1000 miles or
over.
Rates on vegetable. fish and sea

also from southeastern originating
points: and that between points in

Of 10 percent Of the scale recon-
mended for southwestern points.
Rates on vegetable. fish and sea

proposal this would be corrected

MRS. SHAVER DEGREES
SHOUSE BEER MOVE.
Declares Democratic Leader Fail
ed to Consider Views of
Party in South.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Beer, wine and repeal of the eight
zenith amendment, in the opinion Of
Mrs. Clement L. Shaver, vice president
Of the National Women'S Democratic
Law Enforcement League, will not be
acceptable to Southern Democrats"
The wife of the former chairman OF
the Democratic National Committee
said in a statement today that Jouett
Shouse, chairman Of the Democratic
National Executive Committee, "miser-
ably failed to catch the vision OF the
dry South when he proposed beer and
wine and repeal of the eighteenth
amendment as planks in the next
Democratic national platform"
Shouse several days ago gave his
views of what should be embodied in
the next democratic platform, including
proposals for changes in prohibition.
If Shouse should give the subject
further study. Mrs. Shaver said, he
may come to the correct conclusion
that beer and wine would actually re-
duce employment by diverting vast
sums from the purchase of commodities
requiring more labor than the produc-
ton of liquor"
Mrs. Shaver said real Democrats"
believe the people have registered their
will against liquor and will stand
steadfastly by this decision"

Science
--------
Tuberculosis Produces
Intoxicating Agent.

That tuberculosis may produce a poi
son which acts like alcohol on the
brain is the hypothesis advanced to ex-
plain the behavior of tuberculosis pa
tients, in the current medical bulletin
of the United States Veterans Adj
ministration.
AS the disease advances the patient
becomes more and more extroverted, &C
cording to DR.. John w. Turner Of the
Veterans Hospital at Hines, III. This
same extroverting effect Is caused by
various toxic NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., ether
and the metabolic products of fatigue.
rThere are many points Of correlation
between the behavior of the drunken
person, the extrovert and the tubercu-
lous individual" Turner says. THE
latter's impulsiveness, going off at a
tangent, restlessness and desire for
change of climate are rather typical
extrovert reactions. The old saying
that the consumptive walks into his
grave is Illustrative. Before the days
of rest perioos, the patients, even in
tuberculosis hospitals, almost literally
died on their feet. Like drunken men,
they kept going until completely down
and out"
Various observations indicate, he
says, that the intoxicating agent is a
protein leached out of the dead tubercle
bacilli.

west of Dutch Harbor. Alaska They
landed on a small adjoining uninhabited
island about miles long to wait for
the storm to subside.
They remained seven days without
food other than what they had carried
with them, and no shelter. They took
off from the island on the eighth day,
aided by a strong wind, and landed on

NEW YORK, July 20.-How few
IN clothes can a man wear at bust
ness these sweltering days and still
be well-dresSed?
The answer is just about 2
ounces. And that covers him from
head to foot, legally and fashion
ably.
Where did we get that figure?
First, we saw what well-dressed men
are wearing. Then We went to a
mems shop and actually weighed
each item, using regular size 81
for the standard.
Two to Four Ounce Hats
First the hat. The boater straw
is the most fashionable summer hat.
1t weighs about four ounces.
The panama, a close second in
popularity, weighs sbout the same,
except that the finer qualities weigh
as much as an ounce less.
The lightweight felt hat, big
fashion this summer, is lightest of
all. tipping the scales at a mere
two ounces. No need to get hot
headed in f1ve-ounce regular felt
when you can knock off three ounces
by putting on one of these feather
weights, is there?
SuitS-40 OUE>eS
Next the suit. A lightweight
worsted suit of coat and trousers
weighs 20 ounces. A two-piece fan
mel weighs 8 ounces more and a
double breasted linen about the
same.
Compare those weights with an
8o-ounce regular tweed or cheviot
suit or an unfinished worsted at 81
ounces!
Some silk shirts weigh as little as
