WINE DEMANDS
COMPLICATE
BEER BILL

A battle between beer and wine
advocates loomed today.
Said Mrs. Florence Kahn, Re-
publican Congresswoman from
California:
"The growers of grapes will
propose a section in the beer
bill which provides the VOlStead
act shall not apply to naturally
fermented beverages.
1--WE will oppose any plan to
consider wine and beer in diff
ferent bills. This would give
tn" uryS a chance to- sav mat
they gave us beer and will give
us nothing more. During the
campaign the whole slogan of
those opposing prohibition was
light wines and beer"
Representative Lea CD of Cali
fornia, who may lead the wine
fight in the Democratic House,
also said he would oppose separa'
ton of wine and beer.
The wine bloc" he said, will
urge legalization only of light
wines, which will contain not
more than IA per cent alcohol.
Lea disclosed that some of the
wine advocates urge an embargo
on the transportation of wines
from France, Italy and other
foreign countries. This will be
opposed, he said, although the
wine hackers may favor a tariff
on the foreign product.

EDWARD COOPER
1902 Fourteenth st. n. w.
(Owner and MGn0Rer
CoOper'' Hardware StOre)
Thirty-five years ago. when
Edward Cooper first came
to Washington from Balti-
more, together with an
other man he opened a
furniture store, which they
successfully operated for
many years under the firm
name of Cooper & Miller.
Mr.. Cooper was. however.
never entirely happy in
this business. It was his
aim to open a. hish-grade
hardware store. and in
1918 when the opportunity
presented itself. he nro-
cured the store at 1906
Fourteenth Street, severed
his connections with his
partner and opened the
much thought of hardware
store. At that time he
had only 1000 square feet
of floor space. Even from
the start, this space was
Inadequate. and as time
passed it became abso-
lutely necessary for him
to obtain additional floor
space. So in 1925 he OBJ
tained the present site at
1902 Fourteenth St. n. w,
which gave him 5000
square feet of selling
space.
Today. Mr.. Cooper is
known to not. only, every
one in his neighborhood.
but his reputation for fair
dealing has earned him
the patronage of people
from all Washington. manv
of his customers coming
from many miles outside
the District line to secure
his merchandise at his al
ways fair prices.
Mr.. Cooper carries a COM
plete line of hardware.
paints and housefurnish-
ings, and at this time of
year has a very complete
stock of toys of all descrip-
ton. Another Christmas
item of Importance to be
found at Cooper's is radio.
Mr.. Cooper is a member
of the Central Business
Mems Association. a mem
ber Of the Masonic order
and the Jewish Welfare
Society. He is a married
man and has three daush-
ters. He attributes his
success in the hardware
business to the fact that
he has always paid atten-
tion to the wants of his
customers rather than to
his personal preferences in
merchandise shown him by
manufacturers. The items
that are in demand are
the ones upon which he
carries the largest stocks
and assortments. A visit
to his store will prove his
ability to provide the
wants Of his customers.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

We care very little about things that do not
interfere with US. Col and Mrs Lindbergh
probably felt that the crimes of the day and the
criminal rings were of little concern to them
they enjoyed the secluson of their beauti-
full home on the hill. And all of a sudden their
baby was gone, swallowed, as one might say by
the terrible New York criminal ring AS this
is written all of their money has not restored
their loved one to them. This same criminal
menace swallows up thousands every year. The
Lindbergh's have the sympathy of the civilized
world, yet many home has lost its farest
daughter to a life far worse than death at the
date neighborhood has known about it. Thou
sands and thousands of hearts ache and ache
and perhaps break because of the deeds of cri-
minals
And you and dear reader, so often say, ut
is not my business, can't help it, We say this
of the sneak thief, the housebreaker, the bot
logger the forger and the others, yet the sneak
thief may have stolen the bread or the pennies
that stand between our neghbor and hunger,
the housebreaker may have taken valuables that
represent the savings of years from our neigh
boris house, the boOt-egger may be peddlmg
the stuff that is running the home and the mind
and the body of the man who works next door
and the forger may have taken the mite that
the widow had saved by his skill in wrong
doing.
Should not the Lindbergh case be lesson to
all of us? Whose house is secure? Don't we
really want all crime controlled?-Exchange.

crop to be produced this year
The maximum loan which
may be received per acre is
$500 where fertilizer is not
used and where fertilizer is
used, the maximum amount
is $500 per acre. Since irri-
CATION water is used in the

been taken up with Director
Ross who is now in Amarillo,
Texas, for a conference with
a representative of the Sec
retary of Agriculture.
No loans will be made to

ed, that the foregoing shall
not apply to the farmer, ten

three acres of tobacco.
If the applicant for a loan
is a tenant, or is farming land
under contract for deed or

THE HARD COLD FACTS

''The nation cannot tax itself rich. 1t cannoot
dole itself back to prosperity. The states with
relief problems on their hands cannot get any
additional money to spend by piping their funds
to Washington in the form of taxes and getting
them back again as gifts or loans. Inevitably
they would lose some of it on the way. In ad-

AIR TRAVEL PROFITABLE

The development of commercial airways is re-
ected in the financial report of one of the large
American companies which was made public
this week.
In 1880 the Western Air Express operated
at net loss of $200,670 In 1881 it had turned
the tables and reported net profit of $685.
382 This gain of '314,O52 has been attributed
to the increasing popularity of air travel be-
cause the public has been brought to realize 1t
is a safe mode of transportation.
Mail and express have contributed to the
growth of many airlines in the country during
the past year, it was pointed out, and although
many industries, notably the railroads. are los

New Telescope
Brings Sight
To Blind

CHICAGO, 10 G.N.SO-The
science of optometry has evolved
a pair of telescope magnifying
glasses which gives vision to
many who have heretofore been
considered blind.
The new invention, product
of seven years of experimental
ton, was explained in a paper
read before the annual conven-
tion of the American Academy
Of Optometry by DR.. William
Feinbloom, of New York.
DR.. Feinbloom said the new
spectacles, with three lenses on
each side, magnifies the image
horizontally to overcome the
illusion of making remote OBJ
jects seem close.
The glasses are designed to re-
store vision to those whose eye
sight is only 2 per cent normal.

Post -Intelligencer.
Burns one.time partner is
George Sidney Flagg, convicted
with him under the name Of Flegg
for the hold-up of s. Bernstein in
Atlanta. That hold-up, Flagg
says, was the second in which he
and Burns joined. Flagg said

He served seven years, four
months and six days before ne
was pardoned Flagg said.
--sS Calls Him SqueaIer
Flagg is bitter toward Burns,
whom he blauaes for turning
States evidence and getting Flagg
a 30 to 40-year sentence, while
Burns got off with. eight to IL
years. He says Burns bribed a
guard with $25 and merely walked
away and knew nothing of the
real horrors of a prison camp.
They met in Atlanta, Flagg re-
lated, when Burns "panhandled"
him. He took Burns home with
him, where Burns made the hold
UP proposal. He quoted Burns as
saying:
1--WE carried guns in France.
If yOu'l come with me with a
gun in our hand, I'll show you
how we can get q few thousands
for ourselves"
Flagg agreed and bought gun.
Their first holdup was q large
bakery in Atlanta, where they OBJ
tanned $500, Flagg said. They split
this.
Then Burns wanted to hold up
Bernstein, who he said always car
ried $1,000. They got $3.50, and
Burns kept it, Flagg said.
