WET VOTE APARTY
DUTY,FARLEY SAYS
Democrats Have Obligation
to Vote for Repeal, Message
to West Declares.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Saying members of the Democratic
party have a special obligation" to
vote for repeal, Postmaster General
Farley in a telegram to voters in the
State Of Washington yesterday urged
"all patriotic Americans, regardless of
party Affiliations" to ballot against pro-
hibition.
Addressed to John D. Winger, chair
man of the Central Repeal Committee
of Washington, the telegram was signed
by Farley as chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. 1t follows
May I express the hope that the
voters Of the State of Washington will
follow the example of all States which
have SO far held elections, and vote for
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment.
Because Of their party platform
pledge Democrats have a particular OBJ
legation to work and vote for repeal.
President Roosevelt recognizes this OBJ
legation Of the party to the country,
and is earnestly advocating repeal
AS chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, am whole -heartedly
supporting repeal. BY the repeal of the
eighteenth amendment the liquor traffic
will be brought under the control of the
States and one of the principal sources
Of crime and racketeering will be large
" eliminated.
In addition, vast sums now going
into the pockets of racketeers for the
financing of their criminal operations
will 60 into the Federal and State treas
uries and thereby reduce the burden of
taxation upon the people.
While Democrats are charged with
a special obligation in this matter it is
one which should appeal to the con-
science Of all patriotic Americans, re-
gardless of party affiliations"

GROWING DISEASE
Sleeping Sickness Followed Influenza
Epidemic of 1918,

EpsucHAC VI 1910.
NEW YORK, August 19 OP.-Sleep-
ing sickness is one of the worlds grow
ing diseases.
Although known for 200 or 300 years,
it is only since the World War that this
fatal malady has been reported of
worldwide occurrence.
Little of it was known in the United
States until after the influenza epidemic
which swept this country in wartime,
1918
The proper name is epidemic ence-
phalitis. 1t also is known as encepha-
htic lethargica, infectious orpthalno-
pleg1a and acute encephalitis and mona
The cause is a specific virus, which
has escaped isolation and identifica-
tions. The virus is invisible, even un-
der microscopes. Its effects are SINH
lar somewhat to those Of infantile paral-
ysis. Like the paralysis, the sleeping
sickness virus attacks or has a spe-
cial affinity for the central nervous
system. Paralysis and the sleeping
sickness, however, attack different areas
Attacks Cranial Nerves.
In one form which produces pro-
gressive lethargy and stupor, the virus
attacks in or about the third pair of
cranial nerves. This pair is one of the
large nerve channels. It controls the
movement of the eyes. The sleepiness
which gives the disease its popular
name does not, however, come from
the fact that these eye nerves are af-
fected. The stupor is induced by gen.
eral brain involvement.
Inc direct effect of the virus upon
the eye motor nerves Is distortion of
vision. The distortion is the "ophthal-
moplegia," which is one of the names
OF the disease. Mr.. Milton j. Rosenow
one OF the authorities on sleeping sick
ness, says that this ophthalmoplegia
occurs In about IS per cent of the cases
According to DR.. Rosenow. the NOR
tality is high, the incidence" Of the
disease low, but this incidence is grow
ing slowly. He says that almost no
other infection is SO irregular and has
so many different forms This is due to
the fact that various parts of the brain,
of the spinal cord and of the meninges
tbraln coverings are involved in the
virus attack
Follows Grippe Epidemics.
In various epidemics resembling
grippe or colds in the past, medical
literature occasionally mentions Sleep
ing sickness as an aftermath. There
was such 'pandemic" of colds in Eu-
rope in 1889 and 1890 Afterward
sleeping sickness appeared In Northern
Italy. It was called mona. This mona
spread successfully to Hungary, Ger
many and France.
There was a repetition Of the mona
or sleeping sickness again after the
1918 and 1919 flu outbreaks. DR.. Rose
now states that 1t was reported in the
United States at that time and that
since cit has spread to the four cor
ners of the globe"-also that lit is be-
coming problem of serious magni-
tude."
Outside of the apparent indications
that it is virus disease the cause is
unknown. 1t is supposed to be an in
fection entering the body through the
nasopharynx. At first 1t was consid-
cred a disease of late Winter months.
More recently it has showed the power
to arise In Midsummer.

PLAN TO STABILIZE
milk IS PUSHED
Farm Administration Will
Confer With Producers
Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The farm administration yesterday
moved other questions into the back
ground as preliminary to tackling a
complex problem-how to control the
supply of milk and its products.
An emergency conference with milk
distributors and producers comes first,
tomorrow. Discussion on a proposed
national butter marketing agreement
begins Thursday.
A group of dairyman organizations
! demanding immediate action to raise
the price Of butter and cheese has been
promised loan of s30,000,000 to take
some of the surplus off the market pro-
vided means are worked out to limit
production.
Virtually all concerned agreed that
some method must be devised to cut
down the commercial supply of milk
itself before any effective StabiliZation
program could be taken.
The conference tomorrow will discuss
a national marketing agreement for
milk. This might be followed by re-
vision of the Chicago milk marketing
| agreement to insert clauses for produc-
| ton control
| Limitations on the supply might be
included in other pending agreements,
/ but whether this suggestion could be
worked out in time to bring the desired
relief remains undetermined
However, after delays that have
caused protests, marketing agreements
for several cities are nearing compile
| ton.
The Detroit and Philadelphia pacts
are expected to be signed tomorrow by
Secretary Wallace. The agreement for
Minneapolis and st. Paul was sent yes
terday to the Twin Cities for signature
by distributors and producers The
Atlanta agreement is almost ready to
be signed and other pacts are nearing
completion.
Significant changes in the Philadel-
phla agreement are counted upon TO
avoid court challenge which followed
the Chicago milk agreement.
The Secretary of Agriculture Is given
the power to change the price at which
milk must be sold If he finds that this
is warranted after evidence presented
in formal hearings. The changes would
allow diferentials between certain
groups
A c. npromise in the Chicago case
may be worked out by its amendment
to include provisions similar to those
in the Philadelphia pact.

SLEEPING SICKNESS
Surgeon General Authorizes
Purchase of Monkeys in
st. Louis Epidemic.

By the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, August 19.-The monkey
was enlisted tonight in st. Louis fight
against encephalitis, the strange sleep
ing sickness which took its eleventh
victim here today.
Assistant City Health Commissioner
Paul ]. Zenta said monkeys would be
inoculated with the virus Of the disease
in an effort to develop an immunizing
serum
There is no serum Of any kind avail
able now for use in encephalitis cases, "
Zenta said.
DR.. j. P. Leake, senior surgeon of the
United States Public Health Service, to-
day received telephoned authorization
from Surg. Gen. Hugh S. Cumming in
Washington to purchase the monkeys
for laboratory use here.
The surgeon general also offered ad-
ditional help to DR.. Leake from the
Washington staff If the outbreak as
sumes any greater proportions.
More Serious in Suburbs.
DR.. Ieake, who was sent here at the
disease, said he had been unable to dis
serious in the city's suburbs than in the
city itself
The crest Of the disease appeared to
subside several days ago, but the death
of three yesterday, and colored woman
at st. Louis County Hospital today, led
physicians to believe new strain OF
sleeping sickness" had started.
Sewage conditions in heavily popu-
lated st. Louis County are under the
scrutiny Of Health Department investi-
gators. Most of the first cases studied
by physicians originated near open
sewers and creeks.
st. Louis County suburbs, 1t was
pointed out. are not subject to the rigid
sewage disposal regulations in effect in
the city.
Physicians have commented on the
strange effects of the disease, while i,
is an Inflammation of the brain, simi-
lar in some ways to other types Of en-
cephalitis, the symptoms and inflamma-
ton in the present outbreak vary ir
important respects from those of other
epidemics Of sleeping sickness"

Mrs. Bassett asserted she had OBJ
tanned signed statements from three
physicians after the, baby market" was
uncovered accidentally by Miss Helen
Schaef1er, director of the local Chill
dren's Service Bureau.
At least four babies have been sold"
recently, Mrs. Bassett said, for sums
ranging from $40 to 500, the physi-
clans allegedly taking the money as
costs of disqualification"

no law under which such cases can be
prosecuted, Mrs. Bassett declared she
had redrafted a measure which she has
sought Intellectually for several years to
have passed by the State Legislature
She said she will reintroduce 1t at the
next session.
Evidence Not Submitted.
DR.. c. H. HARRISON, president of the
Tulsa County Medical Society, said Mrs
Bassett had told him Of her findings
but that she had not yet given him the
evidence in her possession.
I'VE are helpless to do anything until
we have all the information available, -
DR.. Haralson said.
ANY measures we might take to end
the practice by blacklisting the physi-
clans named or in any other manner
must wait until we have had a chance
to inspect the evidence"
Mrs. Bassett indicated she will have
the testimony of witnesses and the
statements signed by the physicians

local institutions, which Mrs. Basset,
ooAO oiic COulO llOL recommend 10 pro-
spective mothers.
Taken BY Doctor.
In each instance, Mrs. Bassett said
the doctor in the case advised the youns
mother he would relieve her Of the re.
sponsibility Of caring for the child.
The girls agreed because they hac
been betrayed and were at a low ebb
both physically and mentally, and be.
cause they were so desperately pool
they could not pay hospital costs anc
care for the children" Mrs. Basset-
said
Two cases Investigated showed tn,
roster parents were paying for the ba.

saying they were justified in obtainine

cases cannot be prosecuted" Mrs Bas.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS By Wilma LoViNe

During the mad scramble
we've had the past two years
to get something at a low price,
no matter what it was, there
have always been a few people
who wanted and bought good
clothes. They've realized that
you get only what you pay for,
and that a few good things
are better than a whole ward
robe of clothes that won't last,
and that do not look so we'll
even for the short time they do
last. Not that inexpensive
things do not have their place,
for some of us just can't have
anything else. But for the wom-
an who can afford better
clothes, inexpensive clothes that
are without intrinsic quality,
are a waste Of money.
Notice Details
This year there are even more
people swinging back to the
standard of quality, insisting on
clothes that are we'll made, of
good materials, and with those
fine little touches that YOU
get only on good things. Hand
work, hand finished necklines,
edges, hens, are among the
things that count. The cut and
fit of the dress Is noticeably
affected by it's quality too.
Hand drawn work of a dainty
type is one of the smarter trim
mings this year. Seen only in
better type clothes, but lovely
when you find it, and quite in
individual because there's not
so much of it.
Becoming to Women
We've had sketched two
dresses of fine silk crepe with
hand drawn work for trimming.
And lest you'll be frightened by
all our talk about quality, let
me hasten to say that their
price is only $16.75, in spite of
the finenesS that shows in every
seam and detail. On the left
is a dress that comes in both
women's and misses sizes, but
is particularly good for women.
It comes in white or paStelS,
and we particularly liked a
soft tea rose. The wide reverS
and cape sleeves are elaborated
with hand drawn work in two
designs.
Fine Drawn Work
On the right is a suit, the
dress of which you can see in
the background. The cape
sleeves are a becoming length,
and drawn work trims the dress
at shoulders and waist. The
coat is the popular box type, in
finger tip length, still puffed.
The drawn work, which you
can see in diamond design, is
very fine and dainty. This suit
also comes in both women's
and MISSES sizes, 16 to 46, and
in white or pastels.
For fashion information, or
the name of the store showing
these costumes, write Miss La
vile enclosing SeIf-addresSed,

a firm stroke to the chin tip;
be gentle with the descending
stroke.
Rinse with cold water and

don't rub. Anoint the skin
surface with heavy cream,
pick up the extra chin in tiny
folds, roll between thumb and
fingers to dissolve and crush
the fat cells. Don't fail to fol-

ice, else instead of two chinS
you'll have one that is saggy,
which is almost as bad.

shafts if there are several rous-

completely removing soap de-

South bid 1-Spade. West
went 2-Hearts. I sat North and
doubled the adverse declara-
ton, instead of trying to show
my two minor suits in turn.
My double meant: Partner, I
am very short on your suit. I
hold tops in the two unbid
suits. so that no shift can be
made by opponents. I lack two
certain stops to the adverse
suit, which prevents me from
bidding no trumps. Rebid spades
if you need no trump support.
Show me another long suit, if
you have one. Bid no trunps
in case you can stop hearts
even once. Let the double stand
if you have shown me your
full values. Try for a slam in
case you are void of hearts
and strong otherwise"
After a brief study of the
situation and what I might
mean, my partner nodded his
head, saying: VERY pretty. I
never heard that bid before. I
bid 3-Diamonds." When I went
5-DiamondS, he bid 6-Clubs,
merely to show his Ace. Idared
not bid the grand slam, as I
did not know how perfectly our
cards fitted. I bid merely g.
Diamonds.
The K Of hearts was led,
and it was trumped by the de-
clarer. He took two spade tricks,
then dummy trumped a third
lead of spades. Two rounds of
trumps brought down all op-
posing diamonds. The decIarer
led dummy'S lowest club. His
Ace won the trick. Dummy
trumped a fourth round OF
spades, leaving every card good
in the declaring hand. He had
more tricks in the joint hands
than he was able to use. My
partner scored his small slam
contract, with one overtrick for
good measure. How many other
players would have read the
double correctly and have acted
as my partner did?

Souvenir
It is the same, each well-loved
scene of old,
The ships at anchor and ships
sailing past
The Belver light, with CLEANS
of red and gold
Against the twilight shadows,
deepening fast.
No change I find in this re-
membered place
Whose every image in my heart
is Shrined;
No change, save in the absence
of your face,
And (who can say?) this may
be wholly kind.
Better, perhaps, that I can keep
you so,
Always erect and young and
proud and free;
Better, a hundredfold, that you
should know
Only that other, fairer, braver
me!
Unchanged, the sea, the sand,
lights red and gold
And these dear memories God
lets us hold!
