A CAMPAIGN BEGUN
(Hartford Courant)

In putting himself squarely be-
hind the plan OF Mr. Raskob for
solving the problem Of prohibition,
Alfred L. Smith plainly discloses
one of his major purposes In per-
hitting himself to be made a pres
idential candidate. Despite the
steps that he has taken to assist
his supporters to pledge delegates
to his candidacy, not many believe
that Mr. Smith entertains real
hopes OF obtaining the nomination.
On the other hand, no doubt Is pos
sible that Mr. Smith Is determined
to use all the influence at his COM
mand to commit the democratic
party definitely and unequivocally
to the side Of reform in the con-
troyersy over prohibition, no mat
ter who Is the nominee, and his
address before the National DEM
ocratic club was proba bly, the first
gun in campaign to write a plan
of reform into the platform OF the
party.
The nature Of the plan advocat-
ed by Mr. Smith has been well
known ever since Mr. Raskob first
advanced 1t at meeting of the
democratic national committee
more than year ago. It contem-
plates. briefly, the adoption of a
new amendment to the Constitu-
ton under which the States would
be empowered to enact their own
solution of handling the problem
OF liquor after a popular referen-
dunn had been taken within the
State. The plan Is a compromise,
with its defects as well as It's vir-
tues. Quite candidly. Mr. Smith de-
clares that personally he would
favor the outright repeal of the
18th amendm Mt to any other soiu-
tion.--and 1t would be the most
satisfactory and the most states
manlike.--but he Is ready to advo-
cate the compromise In the belief
that II meets the needs of the sit
uation In a practical manner.
Doubtless the democrats In tho
East will find small fault with the
plan. but that the democrats In
the South and the West. who bulk
large In conventions IL not In cleo
toraI votes, are ready TO adopt
such o program IN by no means
clear, on the contrary. the eyi.
denee Il that they will oppose II
strenously. II Mr. Smith makes nm
Issue Of his plan. a. he SHOWS
every sign OF being ready 10 do.
the prospects are for struggle
over the platform In the coming
convention that will rank with tia
conflict over free silver IN 1898 and
over the Ku KIux Khan IN 1894.

Washington.- Mrs Hoover
stepped out In q dimity dress at q
White House reception she direct
ed attention to the active campaign
of research and promotion which
IL endeavoring to discover and
| promote new uses OF cotton.
Along with the effort to spread
the gospel of diversified farming In
the section 80 badly hit by the
slump In cotton the departments
OF agriculture and commerce are
cooperating with the Cotton Tex
tile Institute to develop uses and
possibilities Of the product.
These efforts will interest many
persons outside the cotton indus
try because they are bringing cot
ton into increased competition with
other raw materials and finished
products.
Cloth Sales Increase
Large increases In the sales of
cotton cloth have been reported
and the worlds fashion dictators
| are said to have been sold on the
possibilities Of cotton In the new
| styles.
Studies are now being made as TO
possibilities Of cototn In fabric
wall coverings, fabric betting, sea-
sonal specialties such as sun-bath
cabinets and beach equipment,
aeronautical fabrics, camouflage
cloth. awnings, tents, tarpaulins,
buffing and polishing wheels,
nodded Industrial specialties, fab
RIGS In combination with sulphur
for Industrial purposes, insulation
for wall board, sleeping porch
screens, bindings for straw cover
lngs on nursery trees and coatings
for undergrounds pipes.
That will give you an idea how
seriously the cototn people are GO
ing at this thing. Already. there
is some handsome business and So
cIal stationery made Of cotton and
many manufacturers made Christ
mas cards of cotton last fall.
The Cotton Textile Institute
thinks that about 100000 yards
Of cotton fabric has been consumed
In that manner In less than two
years. A printing firm In good old
Memphis has sold about 2,500,0 900
letterheads on cotton fabric pa
per-"
Efforts are being made to- sell
the stuff for bridge table covers,
with the Culbertson ules p rinted
| thereon, and for permanent rec
ords OF daily newspapers.
Push Cotton Suits
Plots have been underfoot to put
seersucker or other cotton suits
on men in northern cities next
summer as well as In southerly
ommunities--such as Washington
where the fashion already Is
popular. Reports from New York,
Philadelphia and even from the far
northwest are that the summer will
be a banner season for lightweight
cotton fabric suits.
A hat manufacturer who makes
about 10000 dozen cotton hats a
season reports that he uses about
two pounds Of cotton per dozen

WAR ON GANGS
BOON To j. 8.

Conviction of "Scarface AL" Ca.
pone and his cohorts for violation
of the income tax law has already
proved to be worth a cool million
dollars to the Federal Govern
ment.
This official estimate today was
before the House Expenditures
Committee which received re,
port from the Treasury Depart
ment to be used in its ipvestiga'
ton Of consolidation of Federal
law enforcement agencies.
The return from the Capone
conviction is expected to be re-
peated in the future with liquor
racketeers, gangsters, and others
paying their taxes and taking no
chances with Uncle Sam.
The report of Assistant Secre'
tary Seymour Lowman disclosed
that two ChicagoanS paid $435,'
900 to the Government which Of
ficials didn't even suspect was
owed income taxes.
The pair, fearful of Capone's
fate, walked into the revenue col
lector's office and paid the
money. They weren't even being
investigated.

COOLIDGE OIL
LAMPS OUT

PLYMOUTH, VT, May 10 GIN.
S0.-The old oil lamps, in the
Coolidge homestead, finally gave
way to science today as modern
electric lights took their places.
Only one lamp still held a place
of eminence. 1t was the one by
the light of which Calvin Coolidge
placed his hand on theh Bible and
took the oath as President from
his father, the late Col. John c.
Coolidge.
The lamp, an ordinary one with
glass base, glass kerosene oil re-
Servoir and glass chimney, stand
ing about 18 inches jim height, is
being preserved apart from the
rest.
The former President inspected
the work of undermining the old
farmhouse. The electric lights
have been completely installed
throughout the 10 rooms of the
one-anda-a-half-story structure. He
also examined the flower garden
in front of the house. Only the
hyacinths and daffodils we're in
blossom, but there are hollyhocks,
poppies, bluebells and an abun-
dance of perennials in the gar
den.

NEW YORK, May 10 GN.sO.
James Barton, eccentric dancer
comedian, vainly tried to induce
his wife to take his $4,000 yacht
and "some cash" in settlement OF
all alimony.
Because Mrs. Ottilia K. Barton

amount.
Mrs. Barton told Justice Frank

his yacht, a kennel with 20 pedi.

making $4,000 last year.

"At the present time, when
poverty and unemployment are
rampant over the country, we
do not need a wholesale pro-

need a careful consideration to
keep alive those who are al
ready born"
"'ShOuld Space Birth"
She said the unemployed ought
to space the birth of their
children" until economic condi'

Pleasing the Man
BY CHLOE JAMIS0N.

PROBABLY. If you should ask him
what he'd like as a treat for
Easter, Father couldn't even tell you.
The best thing he could think OF at
the moment would be ice cream, or an
extra holiday smoke. So do not ask,
hoping for suggestions. Use your culi-
nary wits to plan something that will
both amaze and please him by its
originality.
All men fairly worship cake and
whipped cream and sweet dainties.
Why not, then, have round or square
Easter basket made entirely Of angel
food or sponge cake you have scooped
out and filled with whipped cream into
which you have dropped a handful of
huge fresh Strawberries, a few dates
stuffed with nuts, preserved cum
quats and the largest mint and mara
schino cherries you can find in the
shops? A basket handle can be made
by wrapping a curved strand Of wire
with ribbon ending in rosette at
the side or top.
Make it clear that this is no family
basket. but one designed especially for
the mans dessert and made large
enough to allow for his generous in
stinct for sharing Present full-sized
dessert plates so there will be room
for ample serving, with a fork and
spoon for each place. And make no
remarks if the host takes you seriously
about his remembrance, and eats and
eats until not a single crumb Is left
A cup of black coffee, of course, will
be needed for the perfect ending of
this treat
If you fear to try your own hand
at the baking of the cake, a good
bake shop will make one for you in
just the right size and shape, either
plain or iced, and favored as you
want 1t.

Hostess Should Choose
Smart, Becoming Dress

produced in inexpensive fabrics-if their
nice workmanship and becoming lines
are followed.
So the thing to remember is to
choose lines that bring out the best in
face and figure and to choose a fabric
that is attractive.
And color-never forget color Never
choose a dress unless the color is be-
coming.
Most women positively glow and
radiate charm when dressed in velvet.
That's what accounts for its perennial
popularity
lovely gown worn recently at an
afternoon reception by the hostess was
made of beige velvet with a cape that
started on the left shoulder, dropped
diagonally down over the right arm,
went straight across the back, and
ended up in bell-shaped, elbow sleeve
on the other arm. This cape was lined
with georgette and edged with fur.
The dress was otherwise perfectly plain.
There was a rather high neckline-so
the only jewelry worn was a beautiful

whether worn with a belt or without,
are very carefully fitted in Paris and
among the newest models many are
made with as smooth line from waist
to armholes as from waiStline over the
hips.
In France, where dresses are more
often made to order than IN this
country, this very careful fitting does
not present SO much Of problem as
here, where women-even those who
can afford to go to expensive dress
making houses-seem to prefer to buy
their dresses readymade. But still, If
you do want to wear French styles
with really French air, remember
that they must be carefully fitted, and
remember, too, that in almost any
shop where dresses are sold you can
have the necessary alterations made at
reasonable prices. 1t is usually the
customers impatience to wear the dress
as it is, rather than indifference on
the part of the saleswoman. that in
clines the American shopper to do with
out the fitting and alteration necessary
to give perfect fit.

which is a light honey shade. very pale
linden and a gray that is virtually an
oyster tone.
Navy blue is sure to be popular but
just as sure to retain its smartness. 1t
is sometimes combined with white or
off-white tones but is smartest when
used with bright green or any one of
the vivid red tones.
Color combinations for street en-
sembles approved by well dressed women
here and in Paris include black and
marron or chestnut, green and black,
green and navy blue, beige and marion
and beige and gray.
1t is a lack-luster season so far as
fabrics are concerned, and though col
ors are so very much in evidence they
are used In dull surfaced materials that
give them a distinct richness. Even
satin, which is usually regarded as a
glossy material, appears this season IN
a dull finish and is most interesting in
chalk and other off-white tones in
dorsed by Paris.

Art in Arrangement

we just muddle along, and sometimes

For they sell all sorts Of interesting
holders in which we can arrange every
thing from single rose to bunch
of chrysanthemums - from a handful
of wild violets to a big bunch Of golden
rod.
Some Of the very attractive flower

as roses, that have real beauty In stem
