Travel in Discomfort

Baby opossums travel on the back
Of their parent, but they are third
class passengers, for they have to
put up with the open air in all
weathers. The mother bends her
tail over her back, and the young
sters, twisting their small tails
around that of the parent, hold on
as best they can, but at times they
must have a rough journey, for with
eight or ten babies on her back, she
will climb trees and move rapidly
about among the branches.

The shade of makeup plays an important part in adding to beauty and personality. I have learned.
 For a pale compTexbioned blond would advise a white powder with just a suggestion of green to give a delicate mother of pearl look to the skin. Her rouge and lipstick should be light in tint and sparingly used.
 I would suggest that her lashes and brows be accentuated by a judicious use of eye-black, by day and mascara eye-shadows upon the lids for evening.

BEER
NEW QUESTION
|. IN CONGRESS
Farley Before Next Session
Opens to Decide Fate
Of New Measure

Congressional vets today
planned pre-session conferences
to frame a beer bill for intro
duction in the House immed-
lately after the gavel falls
December 5.
The movement has for its
objective both speeding of a vote
and ironing out of marked diff
ferenceS over the nature Of a
modification measure.
The overwhelming victory of
Democratic Congressional candi-
dates on the party's wet platform
has caused many enthusiastic
vets to propose far more liberal
provisions than were urged by
the House wet blocs" last session.
Draft Beer An Issue
The chief division thus far re-
vealed is whether Congress shall
provide for the old-time five-cent
glass of beer or merely allow it
to be sold in bottles.
In addition, some vets demand
that four per cent beer be voted
instead of 2.75 per cent by weight
as proposed in the O'Connor-
Hull bill before the House last
session.
A strong division of opinion
also has developed over the
Federal tax to be placed on beer.
In the O'Connor-Hull beer bill
the tax was fixed at 3 cents a
pint and estimated to produce
$500, ,000, 900 year revenue,
Objection has been made this tax
is too high.
Cooperage manufacturers have
taken the lead in demanding that
Congress modify the Volstead Act
so that draught beer can be sold.
They point out that their bust
ness would be stimulated and
declare that the workman will
not be satisfied unless he can
purchase a glass of beer instead
Of a bottle.
In most Canadian provinces,
they point cut. beer is sold both
in the glass and by the bottle.
In some sections the draught
beer is of lower alcoholic per
centage than the bottled beer.
Plans for the procession con-
ferenceS were to be speeded with
the arrival Of Representative
John J. O'Connor CD of New
York, who is expected to head
the Democratic wet bloc" dur
ing the short session.
