~ NE of the very incest things

NNE of the very incest things
about Christmas is the
thought that we give to it
the little things that we plan to
make it a happy and festive oc-
casion. Money has really very
little to do with giving Christmas
its charm. Compare, for example,
the most extravagant and dazzling
Christmas tree covered with store
ornaments with the tree trimmed
at home with cranberries strung
by tiny eager fingers, homemade
cornucopias crammed with pop
corn that looks so merry because
It had such a merry time in the
popping, and homemade candies
that smelled so good when they
were cooking.
Make some Christmas candy at
home this year. regardless of how
much more you may buy in the
stores, and you will find that the
homemade assortments will be
the priceless holiday candy which
you bring out on special occasions.
There are lots of kinds that are
simple to make but most effective
when they are seen and tasted.
You can make festive little plum
pudding" candies to be wrapped
In squares Of shiny Christmas
paper and tied with red ribbons
so that they can swing from the
boughs Of the tree; caramels
wrapped in waxed paper to go,
along with nuts and other good
les, into Christmas stockings, and
delectable cream candies to be
put into little favor baskets for
Christmas dinners and luncheons
as we'll as to fill pretty gift or
guest boxes.

81 shall not give vote on any
other resolution except the Demo-
cratic resolution. Either yOu are
going to pass Democratic repeal or
nothing"
Garner said he would "be willing"
to bring up the Democratic PROPOSE
ton if it were passed by the SEN
ate.
Meanwhile, he added, the plan TO
pass beer bill by Christmas would
be carried out. Hearings began We'd
nesday before the House Ways and
Means Committee OH beer bill in
trOduced by Representative O'Con-
nor 3D., N. ", and a measure TO
legalize light wines proposed by
Representative Lea d., Calif).
Senator Borah, (R.. Idaho), dry
leader at the other end of the capi-
tOl, expressed the view later that
zone of the essential things" in con-
nection with any repeal resolution
would be adequate protection for
dry states.
He reiterated his prediction that a
straight repeal resolution such as
that considered by the House could
not pass the Senate.
Zone of the things I am deter
mined upon is, if possible, to secure
adequate protection for dry states,
BOrah said.
He indicated this would mean a
Constitutional provision to divest
liquor of it's Constitutional protec-
tion as a commodity" so that it
would be subject to police regula-
tion.
Chairman Norris of the Senate
judiciary committee, gave assurance
that his group would consider
promptly any repeal legislation sub
mitted for its study.
He said he supposed the Glass
resolution would be referred to his
committee during the next day or
two, adding that at its first meeting
next Monday it probably would con-
slider procedure.
A bill to legalize the sale of light
wines was introduced by Represen-
tative Lea d., Calif). 1t called for
a tax of 20 cents per gallon, but did
not name the alcoholic content of
wine which would be considered
Notwithstanding.
He said recently. however, that |
the majority of light wines natural
ly fermented had an alcoholic con-
tent of from 9 to 10 per cent and in
some instances a little higher. Lea's
bill was referred to the Ways and !
Means committee.
FOreSeeS Extra Session
After the vote, Rainey said:
Defeat of the prohibition repeal |
resolution probably makes an extra
session necessary.
"The vote we got today is a won /
derful one. This is dry Congress.
1t was a moral victory for oppo- ,
nents of prohibition. We were in
formed that four members who were
absent would have voted for the res
olution had they been present.
'Lame-ducks. many of whom were
beaten in the last election by vets,
beat the resolution. We lost ten
votes on the Republican side of men
who were reported ready to vote for
The repeal resolution" |
