DISTRICT GROUP
READY To OK.
3.2 MEASURE
Hope for Passage Is Revived
BY Action of House in
Voting for Repeal

Drys are expected to mobilize
today for a last ditch fight to
prevent a favorable report on the
Black bill, which repeals the Shep-
pard act and legalizes 80 per cent
beer for the District.
The bill is to be considered be-
fore the full District committee
of the House following meeting
of the Judiciary subcommittee.
Favorable Report Sure
AS the result of hearings held
more than a month ago the SUBJ
committee will recommend that
the bill be favorably reported,
and this action unquesrionably
will be taken.
Two weeks ago, Representative
Wright Patman CD of Texas, de.
manded that the subcommittee
make report, but at that time
Representative Vincent L. Pal
misano CD of Maryland, judi.
ciary chairman, declined. Palmi.
sano said the subcommittee felt
that the report on the bill could
wait until some action looking
toward repeal or Senate passage
of the Collier national beer bill
was taken.
Repeal Action Brings Change
Subsequent action of Congress
in approving the repeal amend.
ment inspired Palmisano to ask
that the full committee consider
the measure.
Drys are expected to make the
same plea today they made be-
fore the subcommittee that the
Black bill does not have suffi-
cient safeguards against where
beer shall be sold and does not
prohibit sale ii minors.

only in wines but in human psychology; he has to
know nearly everything there is to be known about
foods mineral waters and the habits of people ho
day. And he must never make mistakes.
Expert Not Salesman
The special quality of M. Henocq is that he seems
less anxious to sell wines than to have you enjoy your
dinner. The smile which lights his face has eager
behind it, except eagerness to please You capu-
suggests something else, and you surrender thinking
that his choice is and costly vintage; it turns
out to be marvellous and about half expensive as
the wine you have chosen yourself In short, like all
good wine walters, he is expert, wine-lover, be-
fore he is salesman. And the pleasure he gets in
his work persuades you that he has of the nobest

Effect Of a Railroad

For than year I have heard the rumor that
Bermuda has been "mechanized by its new railroad
the first in its history These islands have held off
from the blessings of civilization except when they
could be introduced quietly and without annoyance
the multitude They have as the world knows almost
ambulances. The result is that the roads smooth
and safe and beautiful for riding, cycling walking
But the distances are so great that in the end rail-
road was built. And people have moaned about it. as
people who do not observe facts so often do.
If Bermuda has fallen a slave to the machine age
see another advantage in machinery. For you cannot
ruin the character of country by bringing in rail-
road or a radio The character of the country sub
dues all your inventions and comes out in triumph
That is, if there is anything worth saving If country
lacks strength of character the machinery would make
little difference in the end, anyhow.
An Easy Schedule
Now this is how the railroad works 1t is a oneine
road the rather like trolley cars a little
longer and with separate chairs. The engines, I be-
lieve, of unusual type. But the human beings

and BICYCLES while amiable chit-chat begins be-
tween conductors and passersby There is hurry
for kind word at every stop.
The scenery is beautiful the road has been cut
through rocks, hills, anywhere long as no view
was spoiled. And the relation between passengers and
officials is charming. One day two Americans

He had their the driver back to look on
and give advice All the other passengers observed
what going without the slightest haste. Finally
the picture was snapped; the camera returned;
the train started. And the conductor called to the
vanishing tourists, "Ill you the return trip"
Try 1t on the Subway
The natives in the train thought nothing of it. A
natural occurrence, friendly service rendered-pos-
lively in line of duty. But could not help thinking
how nice it would be for to ask the driver of the
Twentieth Century or of New York subway train to
step out and take my picture at way station Perhaps
it would not be attractive to receive his answer
unless l had my boxing gloves
The railroad hasn't accelerated the pace of life here
in the slightest degree. You get from distant
point to another in less time; but when you get there

of his approach remind me that in
the anticipation of repeal a lot of
honest sentiment (and a trace of
bunkish sentimentality) has been
offered to the memory of the bar
tender, the server of great beakers
of beer, but nothing whatever has
been said of the great specialist in
wines. Of course, the wine waiter
never was a purely American
product; but now that all our

linked eight wines and beer" and
California has explained to us that
wines are really good drinking,

WHEAT OPTIONS
UP SHARPLY ON
BULLISH NEWS
Winter Crop Condition Is
Lowest in 70 Years:
Corn DragS.
BY HAROLD z. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Corresnondent

CHICAGO April 11,-Sensation-
ally bullish crop reports and higher
cables gave wheat l to 2i2 cents
higher opening on the Board OF
Trade today. The governments re-
port of winter wheat Monday was
surprising even to a trade that ex-
peGted bullish report. Shores COW
cred hurriedly, and buying through
commission houses was heavy.
The buying wave swept over all
pitts, but corn dragged somewhat
and was Is cent lower to p cent
higher. Oats was u to p cent
higher and rye shot up IA to rs
cents. Provisions also were strong.
Liverpool started sharply higher
and advanced Is cents by mid
afternoon. The government report
indicated a total winter wheat crop
Of 334,000O00 bushels against 1872
100000 bushels harvested last year.
Condition at 59.4 per cent was the
lowest reported in seventy years,
and indicates a larger abandonment
than anticipated.
The government made no predic-
ton on corn, but the strength in
wheat was the chief factor. Cash
demand remains good and prices are
slightly higher.
Wet weather has put oats plant
ing ten days to two weeks behind
normal in the chief growing area
of Illinois and Iowa, and this is
giving futures more strength than
the pit has shown in some time.

BUSINESS TREND
SHOWS STEADY
UPWARD CLIMB
U. S. Failures During Week
Are Lowest Reported
in 8 Years.

General business trend during the
last week displayed steady upturn,
according TO Dun & Bradstreet's
weekly business review. The first
worthwhile increase in wholesale
commodity prices since last Octo-
Der was recorded, with gains rang
ing as high as $40 per cent shown.
Checking of the continuous lower
trend was believed due to strength
displayed in several food, clothing
and metal groups. Daily commodity
price index of thirty basic commod-
tiles reached the highest point Of
the year at 1888. This was SGT
points above the low made in jan
uary.
Failures Are Less
Business failures in the United
States during last week continued
to decrease. The total was 437.
against 610 a year ago and $40 in
the corresponding week of 1881. De-
faults during March held to the
lowest margin since 1925, setting a
A4SN GISLll- cdr I6COIU.
With steel trade on a restricted
basis, recovery in the industry is
developing slowly, showing a slight
improvement at approximately Is
per cent of capacity. Railroad buy
ing remains around normal for
various supplies.
Backed by a diversified increase
in new orders, steel ingot production
in Chicago is around IA per cent Of
capacity. Demand from practically
all classes of consumers was con-
siderably stronger during the last
week. Activity prevailed in steel
sheet and pig iron sales.
Bottle Makers Busy
Total bank clearings reported
during the last week from all lead
ing cities in the United States
amounted to $4246,521 900. This is
a decrease of 240 per cent under
that Of year ago. Largest reduc-
tons were reported from eastern
and western sections.
| Activity in manufacturing centers
! has brOadened rather sharply COM
pared with a month ago. Several
small bottle manufacturing COM
panies are working night and day
shifts to supply the heavy demands

rate.
