plain Rufus ISaacs, son of a Jewish
traoesman in London, Readings rise in

Between 1911 and 1917 he rose from
mere knight to an earl In his prime
he was Britains foremost trial lawyer.
He will celebrate his 72d birthday while

Connecticut admittedly Democratic
fighting ground this year, has put a
strong Republican combination in the
field with Hiram Bingham reno:n;nated
for the United States Senate and former
Gov. John H. Trumbull young John
Cooidge'S father-in-laW, named for an
other term in the State House. Senator
Bingham's 100 per cent advocacy of re-
peal OF the eighteenth amendment and
immediate beer makes him a formidable
candidate in the soppingwet Nutmeg
state. In accepting denomination be-
fore the State convention this week
Bingham boldly stepped away out
ahead Of President Hoover in decry-
ing the G. o. P. platforms proposal Of
Federal control over State liquor enforce
ment Bingham has been elected Gov
ernor Of Connecticut once and Senator
twice. and his friends are confident that
he will float to victory for fourth time
in November on a sea Of booze votes.

Certain American distilling inter-
ests are so sure that abolition of pro-
h!bit!on is SO near at hand that their
lawyers and technical experts are spend
ing the Summer in Europe acquiring
American rights in various processes
for the manufacture of wines, gin,
ales and liqueurS. 1t appears that DUR
! ing the IL years of the noble expert
ment American distillerS and brewers,
once the peers of the best in the world,
have slipped-that is to say they've
not kept abreast of all the latest tricks
of the trade. So confident are the
Yankee wine and whisky men in queS-
| ton that the water wagon is doomed
that they decided to lose no time in
bringing themselves up-to-date for the
happy days they're convinced will soon
be here again.

A legal-minded reader of these OBJ
servations suggests, apropos the pro-
posal to bring Young Teddy home from
the Philippines to stump the country
against his fifth cousin, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, that the G. o. P. has "Su-
preme Court authority" for requiring
the Democratic presidential nominee
to proclaim he isn't real Roose-
welt 1t was Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes in the so-called Waterman
Pen case, in 1914. who decreed in favor
OF complainant in a suit to restrain
the unfair use Of surname. The
decree required a man named Water
man to juXtapose the words mot con-
nected with the l.. E. Waterman Com
pany' in equally large and conspicuous
letters upon the fountain pen sold by
him or upon any package containing
it. Justice Holmes found that the de-
| fendant Waterman had used his name
in such way as to mislead the
| public"

When Miss Rinehart turned out
Miss Pinkerton" she had a cork
ing good yarn of how a nurse

there was realism in this story The
person who adapted the story for
the screen lost the realism and the
speed of the story and turned many

work for Stuart Walker at the Murat

a finely done death scene. That is
she makes it effective and not the
