from the organized booze brigade. Objection came
mainly from the big city political organizations
which under the Pinchot plan, would lose control
Of the issuance of licenses and the regulation OF
the traffic.
Under the Pinchot or so-caled coalition bill"
bio CITY machines could not determine who should
and who should not have licenses to brew, whole
sale retail ~ dispense There would be neither
indoas nor commissions to grant withhold IL
censes, The whole system would follow more or
lass the present grant of automobile licenses These
licenses would be subject to revocation for mis-
conduct.
Il is quite possible that thorough study of the
P;nchot plan may reveal weaknesses that need cor
rection but in the violent opposition to it, one can
read the Illustration of the hopes of politicians that
thew can lay their hands on the traffic as they did
formerly.
It is quite clear, therefore, that the Crusaders
and others who proclaim themselves the advocates
Of temperate and orderly drinking and of keeping
the faint of politics off the beer traffic waste
no time in exerting themselves in the present emer
gency. If their pretensions are to be backed up
by performance they cannot ignore the present
apparent attempt of political interests to capital
ize the beer business
There is no doubt that sharp conflict of inter
ests has been disclosed One group would try TO
sell beer without the old abuses; the other seeks
to restore the old order with all its policies and
the latter will have their way, saloons and all, I'M
less immediate action is taken.
Of course the joke of the whole business is that
there is so much furry over a beverage that is sup
posed not to be Intoxicating. If 80 beer is non
intoxicating and hence within the bounds of the
United States Constitution, why restrict its sale
any more than soda pop. All the hysteria over its
Forthcoming sale and legislative regulation is of
course merely proof that such beer is Intoxicating
and as such violation of the Constitution itself.
The joke is tragic one, however, for the country

HOLLYWOOD, April l. (UP)
John Bleifer, young Russian ac-
tor. has discovered that the best
way to break into the movies IS
to stay away from Hollywood.
John came to America several
wears ago with a travelling troupe,
then ioined the SchildrautS in a
theatre guild project. After TINS
the going became tougher and
tougher and he ultimately wound
up in Hollywood. .
Hollywood was no more kind
than New York, and back to
Broadway went John. Right now,
he is very much in demand here,
and it wasn't his efforts in the
cinema center that diG II.
Somehow or other John got in
to the cast Of the stage play,
"Clear All Wires" The show
made a hit, and John was import
ed to do the same role for the
screen version starring Lee Tracy
at M-G-M.
The powers that be at Warmers
saw John and snapped him up for
the important role of a Russian
officer in "Captured," the prison
camp gigantic now in production
with Leslie Howard, Doug FAIR
banks, Jr., and Paul Lukus.
Bleifer's method Of crashing the
films by staying cut Of Hollywood
has spelled success for many an
other current picture luminary.
It's quicker and surer than COM
ing here unbidden.
A lot Of actors not quite max
ing the grade are willing to use
Bleifer's recipe. The only trouble
is he can't advise them how to get
to New York and then into a
stage play that the movies will
buy.

WASHINGTON - The Depart

Frances Perkins, its new boss,
ought to give real service to
working people by helping them
in their problems of making a

How does she regard her job?
Here is her answer:
There are two functions. One is
to administer The department with
its various bureaus. The other is
to EXPRESS the needs and aSpira-
tions Of wage.earning groups to the
president, 10 Congress and to the
community.
"My duty is to bring the needs Of
the wage earners 10 the govern
ment's conference table. There will
he others there to represent the
farmers, the business men and other

Sports clothes that are color
full and reflect the seasons hues
have always appealed to me.
The outfit that I am wearing
in the accompanying pictures is
one of my favorites of all times.
It is just the thing to wear
these autumn days to the foot
ball games, or for motoring to
Santa Barbara for luncheon or
in Beverly Hills for shopping.
The short coat has the squared
shoulders and is belted at the
waist with the same material,
fastened with a copper buckle.
The dress is of plaid ratine.
The plaid is contriVed with
good-Sized blocks of yellow, or
ange and brown-all autumn
colors. The dress is straight in
line and has one small pleat in
the skirt for freedom in walk
ing. The scarf is fastened at
the neck with a bar-pin of cop
per to match the buckle on the
velvet jacket.
The small turban I wear with
it is of brown velvet and is un-
ornamented. Brown suede shoes
and gloves of brown or smart
champagne suede complete the

face, or the forearms, or other
parts of the body which are
constantly exposed.
In cases of this type, we do
not sponsor the use of a depila-
tory, except for those women
who have been employing that
method of removing superfluous
hair, in which case it would be
really impossible for them to
stop, having thus aggravated
the growth of hair.
Cutting, shaving, tweezing,
and bleaching are methods most
commonly employed at home
for the treatment of superfluous
hair on the face. But bleaching
is the most sensible of them
all, in our opinion.
The other methods remove the
hair temporarily from the skin,
but they do not affect the hair
follicles to any extent, and
therefore fail to bring about the
permanent removal Of the hairs.
Thus bleaching has it's ad-
vantages if it is possible to
employ that method. Besides
tightening the hairs and max
ing them less noticeable. a
bleach tends to dry the hair
follicles and gradually to take
from the hairs their source Of
life.
Even through bleaching it
takes months before the hairs
grow noticeably finer and less
numerous.
The white henna bleach is
an effective treatment. To pre-
pare this, use enough chalk Of
magnesia $50 called white
henna) to make a paste of two
teaSpoonfulS of peroxide and
half a teaspoonful of ordinary
household ammonia.
Apply this to the face or the
areas which you wish to bleach
and leave it on until it drys.
Then remove with soap and
warm water and a soft cloth.
The chalk actually does not
contribute to the bleach, but it
keeps the skin moist with the
solution, and therefore makes
Abe bleach more effective.
Where only a light bleach is
required, a half solution of lem.
on juice and peroxide is an ex-
cellent treatment for Superflous
hair.
What we wish to emphasize,
however, in this article, is
bleach such hair when you can.
It will eventually save you
much worry" about a problem
which can become serious where
depilatories are employed.

For Tea or Bridge
Every woman or girl who
goes about much needs at least
one semi-formal afternoon dress.
One dress that she can wear
under her street or afternoon
dress, that is street length, but
still has a formal look. She
may need several, if the winter
is to include a round of teas
and bridge affairs.
These dresses vary in formal
ity, but most of them are in
dark, silks to be more practical,
and they're either so beautiful
in themselves that they need
no trimming, or are lightened
by a touch of metal or color.
White Decreases
Touches Of white are another
way these gowns may be trim
med, but a word of warning in
order as to the type Of trim.

The rather elaborate collars
and cuffs we wore last summer
are entirely out. So are most
OF the piques, linens and or
candle delectationS.
Now the simplest or tiniest
touch Of white is sufficient, and
it is usually of silk.
Smart Color Contrast
We've photographed a beauti-
full afternoon dress, suitable for
any informal or semi-formal
occasions, and delightfully."- color
ful. It's a shame the camera
can't show the colors to you.
It comes in black with silver
and vivid green or scarlet, or in
brown with gold and rust. The
color is all on the gilet or bib
effect that buttons in the back
OF the neck, and ties in a sash
around the waist.
If you tire of it, you can take
1t off and have a plain black
dress beneath. It is priced
$19.75, is in misses sizes, and as
you can see, is smart on a
woman with white hair. It is
shown with black accessories.

Famous Authority on Problems
OF Love and Marriage
Her First kissing Experience
Dear Miss Fairfax:
Two girls in my class do
everything in their power to
hold a boy I think a lot of, and
I wish I knew how he feels
about me. Last night a group
of us were invited to a party,
and as we're only about Is, the
boys said we were young
enough to play kissing games.
This boy and I were the first
to kiss. I had never kissed q
boy before, and I was thrilled
to death to kiss him. 1 re-
fused to kiss any other boy
during the evening. But I saw
him kiss various other girls,
and some of them have the
reputation Of going with a
fast crowd.
was surprised at this boy,
because he has the name Of
passing up petting and kissing.
So the next time it came
round to my turn to kiss him,
I refused. This made him an
cry with me and he called me
IAN egg" He was very rude
to me going home, made love
to another girl right before
me.
I'm not light-minded in love
affairs and I didn't want to
go in for this kiss one -kiss-all.
I wish he weren't so angry
with me, though, as I care a
lot for him and only became
disgusted with his srepulsive
ways last night.
FORSAkEN.
You showed a delicacy Of
feeling that the rest of the
crowd seemed to lack, and I
congratulate you. And if you'll
allow me to say so, I think
such promiscuous kissing on
the part of youngsters Of 16
is ill-advised. Beginning with
what they call kiss-one-kiss-all
games, the chances are that
before they're much older
they'll wind up thirty-third de-
gree PETERS. And that's I'M
fortunate.
Judging from the experiences
of girls who give me their con-
fidence it's the easiest kissed
that's the soonest forgotten.
