@. O. P. WOMEN MADE A HERO
OF HOOVER-ANDLOS ELECTION
Their Democratic Sisters Presented Roose-
velt's Practical Side, Which Is Why

And we found the women read them and
talked things over with each other.

And we found the women read them and
talked things over with each other.
"Of course, we had speakers and all
sorts of publicity. but what really
counted was that the women read and
digested the facts in the Rainbow
Filters even when they didn't pay much
attention, after the first few minutes,
to long speech
We're proud of those leaflets. They
were written solely by women. No
man had hand in them And they
were used extensively by the men also,
and were the most complimentel litera-
ture of the whole campaign.
We paid particular attention to the
key States and We had every county in
the country organized. with precinct
leaders going around for Roosevelt and
the liberal progressive party We urged
the women also to elect Congressman
who would support Roosevelt.
There were no factions. Miss La
rinia Ergle of Baltimore, a member of
the Maryland Legislature and Ritchie
supporter, was head of the Womens
Speakers Bureau. Mrs Emily Newell
Blair of Missouri was head of the DEM
ocratic Womens Clubs. She is a former
vice chairman of the National Com
mittee. Mrs. Mary Chamberlain of
New York and Massachusetts, was di-
rector of publicity.
Miss Sue White Of Tennessee was
executive secretary of the women's divi-
sion in charge of the voluminous CORE
spondence with precincts all over the
country We had regular little fac
tory here"
There were three shifts. Miss Dewson
explained-from 9 to 5. IL to 7. and 2
to- 10. She worked at various times
through each.

three cross country air derbies. the

cause they carried through their sched-
Tiles successfully, while the Hoover

Mr.. Howe and James A. Farley chair

mittee. gave every assistance to the
Women'S division, Miss DeWson said,
and encouraged it in all its plans.
"As a matter of fact" she said, 1--WE

Miss DewSon's ideal is security for
the worker, fair wages and decent

POISON ALCOHOL
DEATHS DECLINE
Only 10 Fata|ities,La laid to Use
of Denatured Product in
! 1892, Treasury Reports.

b. the Associated Press.
Deaths from wood alcohol poisoning
have shown a sharp falling off, accord
ing to the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol
of the Treasury Department.
With figures for the year still some
what incomplete, officials estimated
such deaths for the past year would
total less than 10. This would compare
with about 140 during 1880 and rs dur
ing 1881.
Cheaper liquors and use of new de-
naturantS for denatured alcohol are
credited with the drop.
Until two years ago small part OF
wood alcohol was mixed with denatured
beverage. Then petroleum derivative
was introduced and improved upon
until the present denaturant "Calorlte"
was perfected. Its principal values as
a denaturant are that it induces eX-
treme nausea and is non-poisonous, II
also more effectively resists re-dlstllla-
ton than previous denaturants.
Investigations of the deaths during
1882 have mostly shown poisoning from
wood alcohol used commercially 1or
paints and other purposes and the ne"
product known as synthetic wood alco-
hol and scld commercially as an anti
freeze for automobiles.
Industrial alcohol officials said the
latter product has been found hlghIy
poisonous. in some instances few drops
being sufficient to blind any one drink
ing it. The manufacturers, it was salo'

MERCHANT AIRSHIP'
BILL PASSAGE URGED
Efforts Will Be Made to Get
House Measure Before
Senate.

Efforts are to be made soon after the
holidays to bring up for consideration
in the Senate the so-called merchant
airship bill" passed by the House at
the last session This bill would estab-
lish the airship in the eyes of the law
as a recognized international carrier
and would make possible the beginning
of the long planned transatlantic air
ship service, with the American base in
the vicinity of the Capitsl
DR.. Hugo Eckener during the past
six months has conducted a regular
scheduled airship service across the
South Atlantic between Germany and
Brazil, using the Graf Zeppelin. A score
of crossings were made with all the
regularity of steamship service.
Germany now is completing the con-
struction of a giant airship to succeed
the Graf and American interests are
preparing to follow the construction of
the u S. S. Macon with a still larger
commercial airship. The American and
German ships probably will be used in
service between the United States and
Europe Immediately after their compile
tion, provided the pending merchant
airship legislation is enacted into law.
The American terminal may be estab-
lished at Hybla Valley. Va, IA miles
from this city on the Washington Rich

FUND
NEAR $1Q,717 GOAL
Three Families Still in Want
as Contributions Pass
$4,000 Mark.

The Stars Christmas Opportunity
Fund for relief of score OF Washing
tons poorest families was within strik-
ing distance today of its goal of
$1O,7172O, as additional contributions
sent the fund over the $4,000 mark.
A little more than 5000 is needed to
close the three remaining opportunities
and write fms on a brilliant chapter
in the record of Washington's unselfish
celebration of depression Christmas. &"
The raising of this $4,000 in these
hard times and on the heels of the
failure of the Community Chest to at
tain its goal is ample proof of the
readiness of the citizens OF the Capital
to make increa gly greater sacrifices
in behalf of their less fortunate
peighbors.
By continuing to bring the remaining
cases of distress to the attention of the
city in its columns and over the radio,
The Star hopes to wipe out the deficit
of approximately S6l7 before the advent
of the new year, thereby assuring all
20 needy families on the opportunity
list of food, clothing and hcme for
the months that lie ahead.
OPPORTUNITIES No. 3, 5 and IA are yet
to reach their goals. In each case, this
goal is the minimum sum required to
carry the family through a full year
with a supply of the bare necessities OF
life.
Approximately $311 more will give
these supplies for a year to mother
and four children, all under 9, who are
beneficiarieS of donations designated
for Opportunity No g. The mother is
suffering from heart trouble and the
father is in prison-convicted of pass
ing bad checks in an effort to keep his
family clothed and fed.
Only SIT additional will send Oppor
tunity No. over the top and provide
sustenance for a crippled mother and
three children-deserted several years
ago by the husband and father.

of a disabled father, courageous
mother and two fine children.

day manifestation of good will and
charity. Send in your donation, how
ever small. to The Star Christmas Op-
portunity Fund without delay so these
cases may be fully provided for before

President Of Insular Senate Only Sees
"FicticiOus" Freedom.

MANILA. December 90 (P).-The
pending Philippine independence bill
was branded as a Joke" today by

of island legislators meeting as the
independence Commission.
Quezon, who previously had declined
to comment on the congressional COM
promise measure, declared the bill would
provide a fictitious independence"
If my opposition to the bill causes
a division of the Nacionalista party
he said let there be a division"
The legislators adopted resolution
saying the difference of opinion among
FilipinoS was based on the l0-year
transition period provided and reten-
r,on of naval bases by T.. United States
and not upon limita+---.5 placed upon
free imports. Another resolution rati-
fed QueLon's action in cabling the in
dependence delegation in Washington,

An opponent said this resolution did
not bind the legislators to reject the
independence compromise which had
not been adopted when the message
was dispatched December II. Senator
Jose Vera and Representative Fran
cisco Varona, acting majority floor
leader of the House. fought for ratifl-
cation of the cablegram on the ground
