advocates Of the cigaret tax
amendment that 1t was merely a
corrective measure was false and
that 1t was not intended to make

vides that the tax shall be paid on

prohibit cigaret smokers from buy
ing cigarets by mail from out Of
state manufacturers without pay
ing the three-cent tax before the

ANOTHER WAR IN EUROPE BUT THIS
 ONE OVER RADIO
Supremacy in the Radio Broadcasting Is Causing Trouble and Millions Are Being Spent to Get Con- trol
By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent

London, Feb 20.-UP)-A war in the air for supremacy in radio broadcaSting power has begun among European nations. Millions of dollars have already been spent and chaotic conditions in the ether are being created by the struggle.
 Several governments have urged an international conference for limitation of broadcasting power" to end the radio race and this sub ject probably will be the outstand- | ing problem before the International Radio-Telegraphic convention at Ma 1 drid in 1892.
 The battle for dominance in broadcasting has become of great | political and diplomatic importance because supremacy in the ether will | enable neighboring-and perhaps | Eostile-governmen and political organizations to speak to millions of Europeans in their homes and over the heads of their own governments. The significance of the ability of 1 foreign governments to reach private | homes through the air is emphasized | by the fact that millions of Euro peans are permitted to know only | what their governments want them
 
 countries.
 Censorship of incoming news and control of official news agencies in various European countries enables the governments to exercise strict | supervision of the reports which | their citzens read.
 But no method has been discov- cred to- prevent them from listening to broadcasts from stations more l powerful than their national station. The British government recently protested to Russia regarding broad casting of Soviet propaganda in the English language, which was heard everywhere in England. France has erected a powerful sta tion at Strasbourg to reach millions of German-speaking French citizens in former German territory of Al sace-Lorraine and relieve them of necessity of depending on German radio.
 Germany replied by building powerful station at Muhlacker, near Stuttgart, to make German programs dominant over French broadcasts in southern Germany, the Muhlacker station interferes with London re- gional broadcasts and an effort is now underway for adjustment. | The Berne convention assigned in- ternational wave-lengt.ls but failed | to restrict the amount of power to be used and thus a United Press survey ip the principal untries con- | cerned shows the following develop ments in the race for supremacy in power"

Drought sufferers in Eastern Arkansas, particularly in counties hardest hit, will have to be taken care of by the American Red Cross until sometime in April, according to officials of that organization. This dead territory, stripped of every bit of herbage, is brown and sunbaked and barren.
 Observers in the area see many reasons for the situation. more completely bankrupt territory could not be imagined. Horses and mules, farm implements and lands, are mortgaged to the l1ilt. Small farm CTS owe more than they can pay, even if they get a crop this year.
 Fortunately no one is starving; the Red Cross has seen to that. Animals, thin, bony-ribbed creatures. weakly nosing through lands covered only by dead cotton plants and dead leaves, are dying. but human beings are fed.
 Families are getting rations con- sisting of flour. cornmea1, beans. rice, lard, molasses. coffee and sugar and sometimes a small piece of meat.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-20

Meat is luxury. Originally each family of five, which is the average, got three pounds of food day; now they get four and a half pounds. Nutritional troubles gre nu- merous. pellagra is common and yeast is being used to avert some of the prevalent diseases. Yeast is be- ing widely used with success in the south to fight pellagra, because it contains, among other nutrments, the necessary vitamin G which stops the ravages of that fatal disease. The natural game of the country has vanished being hunted to eX- tinction; not a raccoOn is left. Rabbits are rare.
 Many families have been found by relief investigators, cracking hickory nuts to eke out their small supply of meal.
 The American people are re- spending splendidly to the appeal of the Red Cross for funds for the drought sufferers. The work of re- lief is in competent hands. But the work must go on for some time to come.

 Leading out of the lobby on the
 right was a dark passage that led into the tiny gallery where Chummy'g cooking was done. Her bedroom was on the other side of the studio.
 The storm made 1t even. darker this evening. Dumont stumbled
 against a tall oil jar that was mean to hold umbrellas. He called out Chummy's name, but there was no reply.
 Just as ne was going out. he smelled gas. The odor was strong. He thought Chumniy must have gone out and left Q. burner on. He had better look into her galley; so he went along the little passage and opened the door of the tiny kitchen.
 Here the fumes of gas were al- most overpowering. He dared not light a match, so he groped his way forward, as the little place was almost dark. He gave cry as he nearly fell over something soft. Bending. he found that 1t was Chummy, quite unconscious, her fair head ly- ing almost in the gas oven, the door of which was open. He began

When Lois asked Nancy what her Christmas dinner menu was going to be, Nancy laughed and said, "I don't believe you can guess. You know the coming of sister Sue was quite an expense and decided we would forego the large turkey which we usually have. We had chicken for Thanksgiving day din- ner so I decided on duck for the grown ups and individual chicken pies for Jean and Peter.
 These pies are going to have a mashed potato crust with Christ mas tree cut from Q pimento laid on top just before serving. And chopped parsley will be sprinkled on the tree so we get the Christ mas colors on the creamy white of the fluffy mashed potatoes. The children have been all agog to know what special dish was going to give them, and they will never notice that duck goes to Peter and to me. Anyway, plan to let them have their small table especially decorated with a small tree and funny little favors.
 Nancy's menu for the grown up dinner was this:
 Cranberry juice cocktail Roast duck Mashed potatoes Sausage and sage dressing Hot apple sauce Mashed turnips buttered small onions Celery stuffed olives Hot mince pie Plum pudding Black coffee The cranberries were cooked in small amount of water until they popped. Then they were strained and to the juice was added small amount Of orange juice and just enough of sugar to make the be- craze smooth. It was served very cold.

"You'll feel better tomorrow, Corrinne," Sue said, in 0 Hull in Corrinne's tempestuous raging. "But for tonight, let's go to a ho- tel, Jack" q,
 q think it would be better, too," Jack answered. T sorry you're so upset, Corrinne."
 Harry turned quickly. "No you're not leaving, Jack. You're staying right here--T won't have you put out of my own house." :.
 "Then I'll go!" Corrinne stood very straight. T won't stay here another minute. I'm going. at once!" She slipped her arms into the gay rose cloak she had been carrying and pushed the matching beret back on her dark hair. It was pathetically gay against the anger in her face. "I'll go right away"
 Harry caught her and held her arm tightly as she started to the door.
 "Corrinne, that's enough of that. You are going idiotic! Snap out or 1t, for the -" .,
 "Going to swear at me next? ?" Corrinne flung back. "It's about time for that scene in the melo- drama. I've always wanted to see what you said when your swore. Go ahead. I'm waiting"
 Jacks voice, still quiet and sure and unexcited, spoke in Sues ear. Let's get going, Sue"
 But Corrinne heard. "NoI You're staying. Harry said so. And this is his house.! I'm just his-wife I'm going!"
 Sue started upstairs. Her heart felt queer and tight. She wanted to cry. Even more than Corrinne's anger hurt her, she was hurt be- cause she could feel such Q tenn pestuous rush of indignation at her sister.

Voices drifted from the room below as Sue packed. Corrinne's shrill and unhappy. Harry's, low and trying to calm the excited girl. Sue remembered then, that she had not heard from Ruth Bradley. She hadn't called her again. Al- most as though in answer to her question the telephone rang. Sue waited. Harry would answer down. stairs and would ring her room if the call was for her. In a minute the bell sounded. Jack picked up the receiver, and then called Sue.
 "Oh. yes. I'm perfectly all right" Sue said. "And I'm ever and ever so sorry I had to run away like that. May I see you tomorrow and ex- plain?"

 Sue nodded. Her eyes were full of tears. She was afraid that she was going to cry. And tears were the last weapon she wanted to use, now or ever. She hated people who went around sobbing. But the lump in her throat was growing larger.
 She would tell Jack everything. Not now. though. Not until she could keep her voice steady. She put her handkerchief up to her

Few women can do the native Hawaiian dances, yet they woGld be the most perfect exercises in the world Tor the woman who Is settled and solid through the hips.
 Any woman can profit by lim- bering up her hip joints. Walk ing doesn't begin with the fee. The graceful walker considers each step as starting from above the waist line and calling upon the hips, knees, ankles and fet muscles to do their bit.
 The way to start limbering up through the hips is to stand erect on both feet, hands on your hips, and see if you can't draw your body up out of your hips. This should be your thought in all these exercises, not to let your trunk just settle and stay put right on your hip bones.
 When you have a sense of hav- ing raised the load of your body from your hips, raise your hands up to rest upon your ribs above your waistline. This helps to hold your body up.
 Now stand on one leg and swing the other leg up in front, back and up in the back, not very far, just describing a small arc. When you really are timber you will be able to swing 1t much farther.
 Now, still standing on one leg, shake the other leg, from the hip, trying to relax the leg so that your foot and knee will perk this way or that, like rag dolls. Reserve feet and do the same to the other side.
 Next, holding your hands on your ribs and trying to keep your trunk from moving, move both of your hips to the right side, then back straight and then to the left side. If this Is easy to do. with- out moving your trunk, then try to make a circle with your hips, out to one side, push them back, then out to the other side and then out in front. This is the motion of the Hawaiian dance and not a bit easy to do. But 1t doesn't hurt to try 1t and it does help loosen up the hip joints, even if you do it badly. And 1t is only by practicing that you will be able to budge those old points anyhow.
