COLDS ARE NOW
REACHING OUT FOR
VICTIMS!
Be Wise-Be Careful-Adopt This
Simple Precautionary Measure!

Colds are increasing. In some
sections Influenza is breaking out
Don't be alarmed, but don't be care
less.
A cold is much easier avoided
than cured Do the sensible thing
and adopt the ounce of prevention
policy. Stay out of crowds as much
as you can. Avoid coughers and
sneezers. Dress warmly, keep your
feet dry and sleep in a well-venti-
lated room.
Every morning and night take
a tablet or two of Groves Laxa-
tive Brotno Quinine. This will
keep the bowels open and combat
infection by cold germs.
Millions know Groves Laxative
Bromo Quinine as an excellent cold
remedy, but not enough know it as
an equally excellent preventive.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-02-21

Yet, more amazing and
more to the point, analysis of
the vote reveals that the dry
strength mostly was lame
duck strength.
Only six states are dry-if you
scratch the lame ducks off the roll
call, and count only congressman
who were reelected
Mondays roll call lists on the dry
side Delaware, Idaho, Kansas and
Maine-by unanimous vote - and
Colorado, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebras-
ka, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South
Dakota and West Virginia-by a
majority vote.
e Six Dry Without Lame Ducks
But eliminate the lame ducks
from the count, and you have left
on the dry side only Kansas, Maine
Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska and Ok
lahoma.
If you go a step farther, and
consider the known views of the
successors of the lame ducks, Maine
and Iowa must be taken out of the
dry COMMUNICATING only four dry
states
In addition to carrying twelve
states, the drys Monday managed
to record a tie in six-Montana,
Nour To ~, ,oe hive O,ouo,, rTopnaecoo
4 Utah and Vermont
But with the lame ducks crossed
off, the vote for the above named
states stands Delaware, 90; Idaho,
90; Kansas, SO against repeal;
Maine, 10 against Colorado, 10 for
repeal; Iowa, 81 against; Missis-
sippi, Al against; Nebraska, 81
against; Oklahoma, So against;
North Dakota, 10 for; South Da-
kota, 90; West Virginia, 10 for;
Montana, 90; New Hampshire, 10
for; Oregon, IA for; Tennessee, SD
for; Utah, 90, and Vermont, 10 for.
Many ResubmissiOn Votes
The repeal vote was unanimous
among the representatives Of twelve
states-Arizona, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada,
/ New Jersey, New Mexico, North
Carolina, Rhode Island, Virginia and
Wyoming; and the vets were safely
in the majority, despite lame duck
drys, in eighteen other states--Ala-
bama, Arkansas California, Georgia,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisi-
ana, Maryland. Massachusetts,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, South Carolina, Texas,
Washington and Wisconsin.
However, no hard and fast con-
illusions can be drawn from the
above analysis. A great many of
Mondays repeal votes were resub-
mission votes.
Others in Doubtful Column
Any dispassionate survey of the
probable action of the states on rat
ificatiOn of the repeater must list in
the doubtful column such tradi-
tionally dry commemorative as Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, Ken
lucky, South Carolina, Texas, North
Carolina and Virginia
The repeal votes Monday were
many as the no-repeal votes.
OF the 289 who voted aye" sixty
are lame ducks, but nearly all will be
succeeded by vets. OF the III who
voted no" fifty-seven are iame
ducks. and most of them will be
succeeded by vets.

A score or more large apart
ment houses notified tenants
of substantial reductions in

NOT

BEER BAN
|NCAPITOL
Promises House Will Reject
Amendment; Conference on
Monday to See Fight

Members of the House Dis
trict Committee today were
deluged with requests to
modify the District beer bill
as it passed the Senate yester-
day.
The measure is due to come on
the House floor Monday, at which
time conferees will be appointed.
The House will reject the Sem
ate amendment forbidding sale
of the 3.2 per cent beverage in
Government buildings, Speaker
Rainey declared today. He said:
II see no reason why we
forbid the sale in Government
buildings of a beverage declared
Notwithstanding"
Principal objections to the meas
ure as it passed the Senate are:
/. Restrictions that restaur-
ants must have been in opera
ton six months before being
able to obtain licenses.
2. Exclusion of drug stores
from sale of amber fluid.
Restaurant proprietors who have
opened up in washington within
the past six months base their
objection on the declaration that
when they organized they had no
idea that beer would be legalized.
Drug store proprietors objected
to being excluded on the basis
that they would not be called on
to sell beer to children, claiming
that most children would prefer
a sweet drink or ice cream.
Permits to be Rushed
With less than a week remain
ing before the sale of 3.2 per cent
beverages is permitted, it will be
necessary for municipal authori-
ties to work night and day to is
sue licenses by April 7 after regu-
latory provisions are agreed to by
Congress.
Unless permits are granted
there will be no sale of beer in
the District at the zero hour Of
1901 a. m. on April 7.
Auto Sales Barred
When the Senate approved an
amendment yesterday to prevent
the sale of beer in parked auto
mobiles at barbecue stands it pre-
cluded any further attempts to
authorize distribution from such
establishments. The House had
already barred sale at automo-
biles.
Although barbecue stands in
outlying districts serve between
1000 and 5000 people on sum-
mer nights at cars and the sale
O. beer at parked machines
would have materially increased
revenues, it is reported, the ban
on them was placed largely
through the efforts of hotel en-
ployes' organizations, according
to reports. The hotel employees
feared that such sales would en-
croach upon the income of regu-
lar walters.
The House will be asked to
accept Senate amendment

NAz| BOYCOTT.
HALTSTRADE
|NGERMANY
Patrons Barred From Jewish
Shops; Pickets on Duty
at Prescribed Shops

BERLIN, April l (L.N.S.).
The Nazi boycott against 6OO,-
900 Jews throughout Germany,
launched this morning, was
pronounced a huge success by
Nazi leaders late this after
noon.
Reports to party headquarters
indicated gener observance
everywhere.
No serious disorders of any
kind were reported.
Speaking at a gigantic mass
meeting in the Lustgarten, DR..
Paul Joseph Goebbels, minister
of propaganda in the Hitler
cabinet, acclaimed the success of
the movement, whose purpose
was to halt anti-German demon
StrationS abroad.
Praises Troopers
GoebhelS praised the iron dis
cipline" OF the Nazi storm troop
ers, who, he said, had rigidly
obeyed the governments orders
against mistreatment of Jews.
Though a large number of
Jewish shops, in Berlin, includ-
ing some small department
stores, remained open for several
hours after the boycott started,
the vast majority of these were
forced to shut their doors for the
day three to four hours before
the normal closing time when
their Nazi employees dropped work
and paraded to the Lustgarten
meeting.
Jewish banks remained open by
government permission to facili-
tate trade and Jewish-oWned
newspapers were not disturbed.
At 7 o'clock tonight the one-day
boycott will end, to be revived next
Wednesday by governmental de-
cree unless the anti-German
atrocity propaganda in the outside
world has completely ceased"
Pickets Take Names
In Berlin and elsewhere through
out the country Nazi pickets were
posted outside the larger stores
owned by Jews to take the names
of persons attempting to enter.
BY direction of the local action
committee, some of the Munich
picketS were armed.
AS a last-minute concession,
the Nazi employees syndicate, Be-
triebszellen, revoked it's demand
that Jewish stores in Berlin pay
their German employees two
months salary in advance upon
assurance by the association of
chain department. stores that sal
aries would be paid promptly no
matter what situation arises.
In response to a further de-
mand by the Betriebszellen, how.
ever, thousands of Jewish en-
ployes of Berlin shops were dis
missed last night.
Barred From Libraries
Jews were prevented from using
the Berlin public library today, ac-
cording to the Nationalist news
paper Deutsche Allegemeine lei
tung.
The windows of many Jewish
shops in Berlin bore this inscrip-
ton. in red paint:
Germans, defend yourselves

SCORE OF APARTMENTS CUT RENTS
Roosevelt
ShsheS Vet
Benefits

President Roosevelt today
signed regulations which, effec-
tive July /, will slash war vet
erans' allowances drastically all
along the line.
It is estimated that $4oO, ,ooO, 900
will be saved in veterans pay
ments as a result of the order.
A summary of the involved
regulations conceded that many
thousands will be adversely af-
fected," but added:
'It can be said, however, that
all men who acquired their dis
abilities in the military or
naval service and the depend
ents of those who died Of such
disabilities are adequately cared
for. Also that the more serious
ly disabled war veterans are
entitled to either a pension or
hospital or dimiciliary care"
Those who have been drawing
Treasury money for disabilities
incurred and diseases contracted
outside of military service are
eliminated under the new set-up.
New Rates
New rates to be paid for war
time disabilities received in line
of duty are: /.
Ten per cent disability, So q
month; rs per cent, $50; SO
per cent, $40; IS per cent, $50,
and 100 per cent, $50.
If the disabled person has
suffered the anatomical loss or
the loss of use Of one foot,
hand or eye, the rate is in
creased by $40.
