SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

E
NEW YORK, Feb. 26-Given a
genuine standcut attraction for
the first time since the days of
Paayo Nurmi, promoters of anna
teur track and field games are let
ting little grass grow under their
feet in peddling Young Gene
Venzke, sensational middle distance
runner, to the public.
The latest, most glaring admis-
sion that promoters are out To
commercialize to the fullest the
youngsters amateur prowess came
yesterday in the paid newspaper
advertising from the annual
knights of Columbus carnival to
be held in Madison Square Garden
Saturday night.
Featuring Gene Venzke. world
record holder in special 15oO-meter
race the ad read. The herolding
that some 200 other athletes also
would appear was left to stories
on the sports pages. The big shot,
the drawing card. the man who'd
draw the money through the turn
stile, was the only one worth men
tioning.
The fact that the advertisement
ballyhooing Venzke ran alonSide
those advertising Friday nights
fight card at the Garden only
made the whole thing appear more
out of step than ever with avowed
aims on amateur sport.
This blowing up one event at
the expense of all the others is bad
business in more ways than one.
It leaves the gates wide open for
lot of grumbling and booing on
the part of the spectators if, for
some reason or other, the head
lined act is called off or turns
out to be a fizzle.
For days before the National
A.A.U. championships last Monday
the papers were filled with stories
of how Venzke, faced by field
that included Leo Lermond, Carl
Coan and other top-notchers,
probably would race to a new rec
ord for the title. When Lermond,
Coan and most of the others with
drew, leaving Venzke to lope
around as he pleased, the Garden
rafters shook with some very fine
and assorted boos, and more than
one customer thought of asking
for his money back.
In fairness to the promoters OF
the K. of c. games it should be
pointed out that they are not the
first to exploit a star amateur per-
former When Nurmi was running
wild his name led all the rest III
the advertisements.

THE WHIP
is in your hand

When our grandmothers went shopping they
were prepared to match their wits against the
shOpkeepers. His was the whp-hand. Prices
were anything the dealer had to pay plus prof
it. And his profits were as elastic as his neces-
styOr opportunity.
Our grandmothers had very fine knowledge of
wooIens, cottOns, silks. They used their eyes and
fingers in buying. They tested and shifted at
foodstuffs. Our grandfathers knew an intimate
lot about woods, veneers, stains. They knew
feathers and machinery and cutlery They had to.
Today you can shop with assurance by designat-
ing this brand of this and that brand of that, and
hardly bother to check the price on the bill when
it comes You can send 12-year-oId to market
with note and never have doubt of kind, quail
ity or price-if you buy advertised goods
Advertising has established standards, estab-
lished values and established confidence Ad-
yertising forces fair dealing and honest mer-
chandise. 1t puts the whip in your hand.
Do you read the advertisements?

DRY ERA BRINGS
BIC CHANGES
IN CONGRESS

Unless all signs fail, the House
win vote today on resembling its
own action Of Is years ago, when
1t recorded itself 282 to 128 in
favor of putting the Eighteenth
Amendment into the Constitution.
After years of effort on the part
Of prohibitioniStS, the amendment
started on its way to success on
August l, 1917, when the Senate
voted IS to 20 to write the pro-
hihition of intoXicants into the
foundation law of the land.
OF the Senators who voted for
1t then, only 81 remain today, and
two Of them are lame ducks
Smoot (R.) of Utah and Watson
(R.l of Indiana. Vice-PreSident
Curtis, then Kansas Senator,
also voted for it. He too leaves
his post on March 4.
Two VETS Remain
OF the then wet Senators all
but two have met defeat or
death. Lewis CD of Illinois was
defeated and then returned to
the Senate, Broussard CD of
Louisiana is in the lame duck
class.
Senator Sheppard CD of Texas
piloted the amendment through
the upper branch. When it went
over to the house, the Judiciary
Committee kept it bottled up un-
til the next session of the Sixty
fifth Congress. which convened
just Is years ago.
Former Representative Carl1n
Cd of Virginia reported the
amendment out of the House
Judiciary Committee on December
IA, and three days later a vote
was taken. The House amended
the resolution by providing an
extension of one year in the time
permitted for ratification, chang
ing the period from six years
to seven.
Passed AZ to 8
The dry amendment then went
back to the Senate, and after
brief discussion, the House amend
ments were agreed to, there being
merely a rising vote, the Vice
President, then Thomas R. Mar
shall, counting At ayes and only
eight noes. The next day the
amendment was deposited with
the State Department, and the
long grind of State ratifications
begun.
The amendment was ratified
well within the seven-year limit,
the necessary thirty-sixth State
ratifying in January, 1919, 13
months after final passage by
Congress.
The Enforcement Act, COM
monty known as the Volstead
law. was adopted by the House
on July %. 1919, amended and
passed by the Senate on Septem-
ber 5, the House later agreeing to
the amendments. woodrow Will
son vetoed the bill on October 81,
1919, and the same day the House
overrode his veto, the Senate fol-
lowing suit the next day.

face of the earth, he will come
back to a flock of children who
like nothing better than to see
him down on all fours close

Reconciled to the possibility

man who is equally at home at
sea-level and 10 miles above it.
She said:
TAKES LONG WALKS
''My husband really has no
hobbies other than his work
except his children. He spends
much time with them. He
takes them for long walks in
the woods and explains the
beauties of nature to them in
terms they can understand.
"And when the lesson is
over, they always expect him
to get down on all fOurS and
ride them one at time upon
his back.
'When he is not working and
not playing with the children,
AuguSte spends his time sailing
boats and ballOOning. He is a
licensed balloon pilot and made

went into the strat0Sphere.
