NEW YORK, Oct. Is (I.N.S.).
81 want to see some pipes,
please"
"Pipes, madam? Yes, madam.
This way, madam"
"Oh, but 1 mean the kind of
pipes that women smoke. You
do have them, / take it?"
Not an eyebrow in all that
august Fifth-Avenue shop so
much as flickered.
Ladies pipes, madam? Oh,
certainly. Jewelled or plain?
We can show you q very attrac-
tive selection, madam"
1t really turned out to be true.
One section of that hushed. dig
nified shop on Fifth Avenue Is
actually devoted to women'S pipes
of every shape, size, and price,
beginning at ten dollars apiece
and friSking upward in easy
bounds to a hundred dollars and
more.
The rumor, which crops up
every year or so, that women are
taking to pipe-smoking in earnest,
comes as no surprise to the frock-
coated gentlemen who minister to
ones wants in that sanctified
place. The manager said:
81 have been selling pipes to
ladies for more than 20 years.
1t IS nothing new. But / must
admit that the demand is be-
coming more general. though
that does not surprise us. 1t is
inevitable that women should
take to pipe and cigar smoking
sooner or later"
According to this high priest,
who has made the cult of the pipe
his life work and who knows all
that is to be known of the pas
sions and joys of pipe-smokers,
most women who take to pipes
are initiated by their men friends.
He said:

ONTARIO PRISON
QUIET AFTER
+. OUTBREAK

KINGSTON, ontario, Oct. 10
0N.SO.-"All orderly"
That was the report today OF
Portsmouth penitentiary guards.
But the insistent jeering and
vehement shouts of prisoners in
their cells were echoes Of the
worst riot staged in the instltu-
tons history.
A detachment OF Royal
Canadian horse artillery was
summoned before the outbreak
among the 906 unruly prisoners
was quelled. Shots were fired
by the soldiers to subdue the
mutineers. Two prisoners were
hurt in the melee.
Escape Baked
The immediate cause Of the
riot was the unsuccessful
attempt of a member of the
stone quarry gang to escape as
the convicts were marched back
to the prison yesterday. Many
said surlily they would not re-
sumo work.
Before the men could be
locked into their cells, a group
of them rushed to the main
workshop in the prison, where
they barricaded themselves.
Impromptu speakers leaped
upon tables and in fiery words
asked the convicts to make de-
mands for more cigarette papers
and more hours of relaxation.
Threaten Fire
While the tumultuous session
was on, guards called for the
militia as they heard the noise
of machinery being tossed about
in the workshop and the de-
moniacal shouts of the men.
Word was passed to the
warden that the shop would be
burned if efforts were made to
diSlodge the men.

Pipe Smoking By Women? ?

confirmed pipe-smOkers, of

iected into debate on the billion
dollar revenue bill today when Sem
ator Nye (Rep) North Dakota,
offered as an amendment to the
measure the entire agriculture pro-
gram sponsored by the three great
farm organizations of the country.
Nye said his method was the only
way in which farm relief could re-
ceive the attention it deserved in
the legislative jam into which the
senate has forced itself.
The program, sponsored as sep
arate measure by Chairman Nc
Nary of the senate agriculture COM
mittee, includes features designed
to obtain for the farmer a pro-
ductiye price for his products.
Earnings of farm people Nye
explained, "haYe been whitfield
away little by little during the last
10 or IL years until equities and
surpluses have vanished. The small

BEER TAX
REJECTED
IN HOUSE
Bill To Legalize 2.75 Per
Cent Liquor Loses By
Vote Of 228 To 169.
BIPARTISAN MOVE
Test Was First Record
Of Sentiment Regard
ing Modification.

WASHINGTON, May %. U.P-
The house today defeated the
Hull bill to legalize and
tax beer containing 2.75 per cent
alcohol by weight. The vote was
228 to 1863.
1t was the first record test on
prohibition modification sentiment
in the house. 1t was forced by the
wet bloc in an attempt to get all
members on record by the national
political conventions.
The decision came on a PROPOSE
tion to discharge the ways and
means committee from further con-
sideration of the modification bill.
i-prohibitionists forced the is
sue by obtaining las names to a
special petition to take the matter
out of the hands of the predomi-
nantly dry" committee where the
measure had been tabled.
The bill would place an excise
tax of three cents per pint on beer.
Advocates of the bill estimated
possible annual revenue from this
source OF S500 ,000 QUO.
The measure, presented as BIZ
partisan effort, contained strict
provisions against return of the
saloon and also protected states
and communities which did not de-
sire the sale of alcoholic beer
within their borders.
The beverage would have been
sold in bottles and could be con-
sumed outside of the home only in
hotels, clubs and regular restau-
rants.
The -prohibitionist votes
contained Sc Democrats, 80 Repub-
licans and Farmer-Laborite.
Brief applause accompanied
Speaker Garners announcement of
! the vote.
Opponents of prohibition showed
less strength today than hey did
earlier in the session when the
Back-Linthicum resolution was de-
feated in the house, 227 to 1877.
That vote, however, was on a pro-
posal to resubmi prohibition to
the people and deceive the support
of several members who ordinarily
are dry, but do not oppose refer
endum.
WASHINGTON, May 90. OU.p)-
A prediction that the senate would
turn finally to the general sales
tax to balance the budget was
made today by Senator Reed (Rep.)
Pennsylvania, as the senate con-
tinued its verbose dispute over
tariffs.
Reed said he had not polled the
senate, out that in casual CONVEX
sation had talked with about 60
senators and found 40 of them now
favored a general sales tax pro-
gram. Senator Walsh (Dem.)
Massachusetts, has prepared sales
tax amendment to be offered to
the tax bill.

WASHINGTON, May %. U.D-
Democrats today faced the neces-
sity of further revising their un-
employment relief programs II tney
are to meet President Hoover's de-
termined opposition to bond issues
for federal works.

vigorous weekend communication
denounced all proposals for BOND
issues for federal construction pro-
iects. He condemned them as
''grandoise" schemes which could
create less than 10000 jobs in the
next year-and those only at the
fearful price" Of unbalancing the
budget, demoralizing government
credit, and imposing "unbearable
burdens upon the taxpayer

cratic provision for increasing the
Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tions borrowing power by $780,
100000 to finance Income produc-
ing or "self liquidating' works
such as waterworks, toll bridges,
toll tunnels and docks. He also
agreed that the Reconstruction Cor
poration should be empowered to
advance funds to hard pressed
states for direct relief.
The President expressed his
views in a long letter to President
Richard S. Parker of the Ameri-
can society of civil engineers. He
warned that "the back of the de-
preston cannot be broken by any

Richard Wayne. former motion
picture actor. prepared today to
push a suit for 100000 against his
former wife. Mrs. Antoinette Con-
verse Wayne, following upholding
by the New York supreme court of
a strange contract under which he
agreed never to work again.

wealthy wife wished him TO devote
all his time TO her, and signed a
contract agreeing to pay him $1,000
a month for life II he would give
up all work.

way and without my being a party
to it."

$1,000 monthly payments shortly
after her divorce. Attorney for

lP1-The report Of the committee
on temperance. prohibition and
public morals declaring there Is no
authority IN the constitution for
popular referendum on prohibit
ton and reaffirming It's faith IN
the eighteenth amendment vas
made available TO the delegates Of
the general conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church today
through publication in today's Is
sue of the Christian Advocate.
Some delegates believed an ef-
fort would be made TO have the
report approved by the conference,
but others declared that the press
of other matters and the desire
to adjourn the conference by
wednesday might prevent 1t ever
reaching the floor.
1.-THE Methodist Episcopal church
believes in national prohibition,
the committee report said. FIX
perience with it vindicates the
wisdom and vision of those who
gave us the law. It's merits are not
determined by a straw vote refer
endum.
I'VE believe in the will of the
majority when 1t is expressed
through the ballot box. but main
tain that such will of the ma
jority should be expressed in
legal and constitutional manner.
There is no authority in the
federal constitution for a popular
referendum the report continued
1.-THE constitution itself would have
to be amended in order to invest
a general referendum with lega
and political responsibility.
The clamor, therefore, for s
referendum on the eighteenth
amendment when 1t is impossible
to have a referendum, serves nc
good purpose, but only tends to
confuse and obscure opinion.
"It required a hundred years to
organize the temperance move
ment into law, municipal, state and
national. The eighteenth amend
ment was put into the constitution
by constitutional processes. It can
be taken out in no other way. As
part of the supreme law of the
land, it is binding upon every Of
ficial of the republic. from the
least to the greatest to support it
and upon every citizen TO obey It.

Imperial Valley was honored this
morning when the official tour of
the executive board of the Amer
ican Farm Bureau Federation made
its first stop in California in this
county as guests of the local farm
bureau.
Edward A. O'Neal, president, who
was scheduled to appear, due to the
pressure of official business in
Washington, was unable to take
the trip. M S. Winder, executive
secretary, is acting as his represent
ative for the tour.
At the request of R. w. Black
burn, president of the California
Farm Bureau Federation, the direc-
tors and officers are touring Cali
fornia to obtain first hand infor-
nation in regard to the problems
of irrigated farming.
In an exclusive interview with a
representative of the Imperial Val
ley Press, Winder stated that for
many of the board of directors this
is their first trip west. Prior to
this time many have depended for
their information on irrigation and
reclamation projects on newspaper
accounts and the discussions OF
persons not always well informed.
This Trip, Winder declared, has
already been great revelation to
them and they have been intense
ly interested in the inspection OF
the irrigation district headquarters
at Andrade, the methods of bring
ing water to the valley farms, and
the crops which they have seen IN
actual cultivation.
I'm the future, this group will
know more about irrigation and 1t
will change their point of view IN
regard to Importance of reclama-
ton activities and the assurance
of a continued water supply.
