BIG QUESTION
 FOR LAWMAKERS
Public Interested in Regu- IatiOns for Sale of Beer
 and Wine
MATTER IN GOOD HANDS

In the opinion of thoughtful people, the big question to come before the present session of the general assembly is what regula- tions will be adopted for the sale of beer and wine. It is no secret that one does not have to travel far in any part of the state to get not only beer and wine, but something stronger, but owing to the con- fusion caused by prohibition, which did not prohibit, it is common Knowledge that the law was never taken seriously. but just the same 1t did irreparable damage, es- peciaIly among the young people.
 The question many are asking now is what regulations will be adopted to carry out the new or- der of things. If the beer law turns out to be something similar to that of prohibition. it will not meet with public approval, and 1t is out of the question to enforce any law that has not a fair share of public sentiment back of 1t.
 One hears very little objection to the sale of beer and wines in suitable places and under proper management, but most citizens have a wholesome dread of li- censed places where they would be \ | menace to society. All this is sIp to the general bly, and it fs no rash statement to say that people who have no special objec- fion to the return of beer are very interested in what kind of regu- Ilations the law-mawers will pro- lNfdc for handling the business.

OF
 LABOR FAVORS SHORTER WEEK
It Is the Best Way She
 ' Said = She Condemned the Proposal Made By l4 Governor Ely r

'E~ Washington, March 29-UP)- Secretary of Labor Frances Per kins endorsed the shorter working week today as the 'the most cer- tain way of increasing employ ment."
 Standing in an office splashed with the flaming red of Amaryills she earnestly advocated a tighten ing of protective labor laws.
 It was Madame secretary's sec cond press conference. She stood throughout the interview, and was prompted occasionally by male as- sistants who fitted about the heav- fly carpeted room. She was attired in a simple black dress and black felt hat.
 When you realize that even in these times some industries still have the seven day week it readily Is apparent that the shorter week is the only certain way of increas- ing employment" Miss Perkins said.
 She condemned the proposal of Governor Ely of Massachusetts that his state declare a moratorium on all labor laws in order to permit its industries to compete with states without them.
 1T hope Governor Ely won't go through with that" she said, clasp ing her horn trimmed spectacles tiercely.
 "The right way to correct the situation. l should think, would be for the states to adopt some of Massa chusetts' very effective labor laws"
 The general problem of unem- ployment. Miss Perkins revealed is complicated by very real un- employment problem of her own department. Since coming in she is two days behind in reading jot applications for work in the depart ment.
