LEGION
OPPOSES
DRY ACT
Vote Resolution Urging
That Question Be Sub
mitted To National Poll.
MAJORITY is LARGE
Veterans Leave No Doubt
Of Stand On Repeal Or
Modification OF Act.

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. "a. U.P)-
The American Legion convention
today went on record on two mo-
mentous national issues, voting for
the nationwide referendum on pro-
hibition and killing d move FOR
cash bonus payments to World War
veterans.
Amid cheers, the veterans adopt
ed 1908 to 1894 a resolution calling
upon congress to provide a refer
endum on repeal or modification of
the 18th amendment. The dry
belt delegates largely opposed the
resolution, but its hackers over
whelmed them.
Having adopted the measure, the
Legionnaires turned to the bonus
question. On this, they needed
President Hooyers stern warning
against pulling up new government
al costs and by a vote of 902 to 507
killed the proposal.
The expression against immediate
pafment of the bonus came in a
vote to substitute a minority report
for the majority report offered by
the legislative committee. The min
ority report called for immediate
payment
Before the roll call started Com
mander ONeil ruled that Eyes"
votes would favor immediate cash
bonus and no votes would be op-
posed to such action.
After the roll call the majority
report was adopted by acclamation.
Wild scenes of disorder, shouts
and cheers, throwing Of hats and
applause broke out when the wet"
element gained the number of votes
that would insure victory for the
resolution urging the referendum
Pat Cookley, delegate from Pan
anna. refused to vote on the resolu-
tion
As the resolution was declared
adopted, the convention went
wild anew. During the roll
call there had been shouts of
victory as the count increased
for the measure. But when
Commander O'Neil announced
the official count the cheering
became deafcning.
The dry" votes were greeted with
boos and catcalls from the packed
galleries, while every vote against
prohibition received cheer. A
Texas delegate, who arose and de-
manded a poll Of his delegation

IN FASHION,
Hats for Different Costumes
-Directed By AMOS PARRISH


of trimmings in fashion. Many
different ways of putting on these
hats in fashion.
The only way Of telling which
is smartest is to try them all on
and see which is most becoming
and which goes best with your
Easter costume.
Costume Harmony
The last is important. Because
the really smart Easter costume has
every part of it in harmony with
every other part.
SO if you're wearing a trim, tai
lored suit, you won't want a hat that
looks as though it were bound for a
garden party. No matter how 0e-
coming it may be.
They'll Look Tailored
The hats that go with tailored
suits, or with any costume that has
tailored lines-are the hats that
look tailored. They will look tai
lored in a soft, feminine way,
though. Because even tailored cos
TUNES look soft and feminine this
spring.
A small, close-dtting turban is
one good hat for a tailored COS
tune. A simple, medium-Width
brimmed hat is another. So is a hat
with a brim that turns up, like the
tricorne and bicorne.
'We've had sketched at the upper
right one Of these turned-up-brim
hats of the tricorne variety. It's not
one of the very regular-line, sharp
angled tricornes, but one of the
newer, softer, more irregular ones.
Flower Trimmed Ones Lovely
For a more feminine costume-a
soft, dressmaker type suit, or soft
looking coat and dress-nothing's
lovlier than one of the new flower
trimmed hats. Crowded you pick
one that's becoming, of course.)
We've shown one in the second
Sketch-one with the manipulated
briln you've been hearing about.
("Manipulated" means that the
brim is turned or twisted or draped
in some unusual way.)
Lots of brimless hats, too, are
flower-trimmed. Somtimes one or
two flowers are put on at the back
of the neck. Sometimes along one
side.
Another feminine f1ower-trimmed
hat is the ~so-called "Watteau,"
named after the artist who painted
pictures Of shepherdesses in hats
that turned up in the back and had
flowers massed at one side.
Now-if you're small and youth

By MARY
Society Editor. The Times

A small, but enthusiastic, audience
received Berre-Hill, baritone, Mon
day in q concert with the chorale
of the Matinee Musicale at Caleb
Mills hall.
His voice was beautiful and his
selection of songs was excellent. His
tones were rich and he sang seem-
ingIy without effort. His voice adj
mirably is suited to the very mod
ern program he presented. And not
only is his voice lovely, but he is
gracious, and generous with his en-
cores.
Twice during the evening he
turned to the chorale and repeated
a number for their benefit, which
pleased not only the ladies, but the
audience as well.
He was at his best in the cycle,
"City Of JOY" by Deems Taylor. It's
five parts were, Spring in Town"
Poor but happy"
The Roof Garden" and Home"
Then again, his THE Wanderers
Song" by Richardson, and 1.-THE
Sleigh" by Richard Kountz, were
splendid.
His last group included "Carna-
val" (F~7ourdrain); Flowers Of For
getfulness" (Cadman); ITO Still MS'
Heart" (Taber), and Winds"
(Test), but in the encores with
which he responded to the applause
and concluded his program, he
reached heights. His last number
was a request, Coming Home" by
Willoughby.
I may be prejudiced because I
prefer the modern music, but it
seems to me that the program was
particularly well arranged and
carried out. And I think the young
man showed courage in his choice.
I talked with him after the program
and mentioned this. He agreed that
perhaps he was defying conven-
ton. But, he said, after all, why
not? They Ire writing now-we are
singing now-why isn't it right to
give the break to ones o n
~temporaries?
He expressed his admiration of
the chorale and their training

Just
Day
Sense

IT does not surprise me that the
L wife of Sir Hubert wilkins will
accompany him on what appears
to be his hazardous submarine
journey to the north pole.
Because I feel sure that, given
the choice, most wives would do
the same.
Haven't women been following
their men into new places and
new dangers since the world be-
gan? Only few Of them got the
publicity that will go to Lady
Wilkins. And therein lies a
thought.
To my notion the saddeSt fact
about the story of America is that
historians failed to give women
their share in the glory of the
new world.
The history Of the United
States, as it always has been, and
as it generally is still taught in
our schools, is unbelievably dull,
This is because there are no
women in it. 1t is merely a jurn-
BILE of statistics and dates, legis-
lative enactments, battles and po-
litical campaigns.
t 4 +
I'll gives no adequate picture OF
L a magnificent nation in the
making. 1t contains no stirring
recital of the courage of women
who followed their husbands and
sons into alien lands and set up
homes in the wilderness, where
the beasts howled at their doors
and Indians skulked in the
thickets.
SThe writer's of these books we're
urimaginative men. They have
produced works that fail COM
pletely to stir enthusiasm in the
souls Of students.
And if today we feel some
times that there it not enough
regard for the law and too little
patriotism among us, is it not
possible that this is one Of the
reasons? Nobody can get a thrill
out Of the names Of generals or
the dates Of inaugurations.
The United States has furnished
romance for a world, and it's
past is a record Of endless
glamorous deeds. Yet the tale
of its sweeping wonder, and its
amazing achievement never has
been told. For the true history
of a nation must contain a pic

BY JULIA BLANsHARD

NEA service writer
NEW YORK, March 24.-Bud-
getting and selecting the Easter out
At becomes both easier and harder,
when you are in $35 to $4O-a-week
income class.
Easier. because you are more
likely to find the type Of costume
that you want. Harder because
there are so many choices to make
that you have to consider color,
line, type and other points Of chic
that you must skim over when you
have less money,
Just how much the c~areerist can
save for her Easter outfit depends,
Of course, upon herself. But many
a smart girl within this income
class has salvaged enough from her
pay roll to have $50 or much more
for this spring parade Of fashion
that means so much to a woman.
Consider Your Type
First of all, consider what type
Of costume best becomes your own
personality type. Are you the jaunty
girl who should capitalize the suit
trend this spring? Are you the
%1uttering feminine or soft southern
type who should get a chiffon or
lacy outfit because that is what you
need most?
Are you the handy girl with the
needle who makes her own frocks
and can put her Easter nest egg into
q smart coat?.
That is the main consideration
and once that is decided, the next
is to decide how much you can put
into your costume itself. You will
make a mistake if you don't put the
major proportion into the costume,
S35 or more. For you probably have
shoes, stockings and purse.
A hat is infinitely important this
season, too. so I suggest that after
the garment that will clothe you
with chic on Easter morning, you
spend quite a little time and per-
haps a little money on your hat!
Color Is Important
Color is very important in this
class of Easter budget, and SO are
monotone outfits. For clear, staple
colors, in their new spring version
Of course, + 50 much more easily
matched up in accessories than
some exotic shade or some bizarre
figured materials.
If in doubt, nothing is smarter
than a black and white combina-
ton, or a navy blue and white.
Very diverse in their styling, their
material, their line and color are
the four Easter costumes given as
criteria.
Ultra chic and very different is
q French tweed coat in a loosely
woven black and white weave that
looks almost like the open work
mesh that is so smart this season,
Ideal for Spring
1t has that skeleton lining so new
this year and so lightweight that
it makes this coat ideal for spring.
It is made slightly fitted and Slight
ly 1ared and has a fringed scarf
collar that let's N end swing down
the back and one end down the
front, after being tied in cravat dis
tinction with it, as we'll as smart
utility.
For the girl who likes a suit, there
is a covert cloth in a smoky blue
that is vastly becoming to women
with medium or light coloring.
1t has a matching crepe blouse,
with a tiny ruching finish in white,
so that white gloves are a good bet
and a blue and white buttonhole
flower adds a spring-like touch.
Topping it, a halo hat of shiny
blue straw in navy, to match a navy

Sunday morning-juSt a week from
next Sunday-you pay more at
tention TO the hats in the pew ahead
thin to the sermon.
AS always, Easter hats are good
things to pay attention to. They're
worth looking at with both eyes.
Because no fashion-knowing woman
will want to miss a single turn Of
their brims or slant of their crowns
or any Of the many ways flowers
and feathers and ribbons are put
on them.
Most Easter hats will be made Of
straw. And that's about the only
one thing you a say about all
spring hats. Except that they're
all good to look at-which they
certainly are.)
There are many different shapes
in fashion. Many different straws
