The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-11-09

I treat, and other drys, notably the Methodist Board of Temperance at Washington said the election. could not in any sense be termed "A wei victory"
 Wet leaders told the United Press they would press the modifi- cation issue in the hope of making effective this winter the democratic promise that, beer of moderate al- c0holic content shall be removed from the list of outlaw beverages. | Senator David I. Walsh, demo- crat, Massachusetts, who helped put the modification plank into the democratic platform, said he would introduce beer bill at the short session. Representative Beck said the O'Connor-Hull beer bill still is on the calendar.
 He telegraphed the United Press in response to an inquiry. T have no doubt that renewed efforts will be made by the vets in the coming session to bring 1t to a vote. The bill had and has my support. But when congress re- convenes vets Of both parties will presumably consider whether that bill, which represented our point of views, can be improved. Unless improvement is possible I shall introduce no new bill but shall move for passage of the pend- ing bill"
 Senate democratic leader Robin son in his first post election state- ment on the subject said in re- sponse to telegram:
 "The change in control of the national administration will take place on March 4. Pending that change, !. see no reason why con- gress during the short session should not consider the submission of an amendment relating to the repeal or modification of the 18th amendment as we'll as a bill carry ing out the democratic platfrom modifying the Volstead act with respect to beer.
 "of greater importance, however is the initiation of plans for re- ducing government expenditures, re-organizing farm mortgage cred- it's and going forward with a well considered and conservative amend ment of our national banking laws"
 Senator McNary, assistant repub- 1ican leader, was predicting mean- while that the short session would act on re-submission of the 18th amendment. He held action on a beer bill can be had if the demo- crats want 1t.
 Walsh told the United Press:
 "On the convening of congress in December shall offer a bill to legalize the manufacture and sale of beer and other beverages for which congress received mandate at yesterdays election. I shall pro- pose an alcoholic content of ap- proximately 2.75 per cent by weight. The bill will contain pro- vision for taxing beer at the rate formerly levied by federal law. Provision also will be made for the manner of sale and the manner of licensing vendors of the legalized beverages"

Last week, the Minister of Albania, NJ Faik Kontza

of Albania This small kingdom, which about the
Switzerland Belgium, has many less in
habitants than either of these countries 1t is situated
the Eastern shore of the Adrat from Italy to
which it is bound by history and tradition.
The Minister described King Zog the hereditary leader
of mountainous province of Albania, somewhat on the
lines of Scottish clan chieftan. He has travelled
widely and speaks five languages. His favore sports
riding, hunting, and swimming and he is remarkable for
his of humour Though Industrious and stern,
when engaged the duties of his office he enjoys
reputation for patriotism fearless courage and hrewness
He tall SLENDER and blond and has blue eyes and because
he hates pomp the ceemonlas have been reduced to

The king is fond Of music, and frequently attends

Washington Fashions
BY WILMA LAVILLE

other seasons, and that is that
most of them are short, mere
little eton Jackets, or bolero,
that come just to the waist or
above. They are part of the es-
sential silhouette of the dress,
and look like they are made in
one with it, more often than
not. They do not GeJract from
the high-waisted look that>is so
smart.
Three Quarter Sleeves
The dress sKetched is a per-
feet example of this little short
bolero worn on a dress, and it
is double breasted. It has
three-quarter sleeves, another
new note for spring. They look
so smart with gloves that are
pushed down so they don't quite
meet. Metal buttons trim the
bolero. The dress is bias cut,
and hangs with extreme grace.
1t has a top Of white canton
crepe, studded with the tiniest
metal eyeletS, and joined to the
dress diagonally with tiny flat
buttons. The dress and jacket
are of navy canton crepe, smart
to wear now, and excellent as
a street costume later without
coat. The costume is from a
Washington shop, and is L.od-
erately priced.
Double Breasted
Another feature of these little
boleros, is that they are most
often double-breasted. This
seems to be an important
theme in clothes of all kinds,
from dresses to coats. It con.
tributes to the effect of broad
shoulders and narrow waist,
and it also gives the costume a
one-Sided look, which is fash
ionable, too. 1t gives the dress
a chance to use buttons, which
are so popular as trimming
now. Just take a look through
any fashion magazine, or
through any Washington store,
and you will notice that about
half the costumes shown, or
more, have either a double.
breasted effect or are crossed
over in Vionnet manner.
