WINE PREFERENCES OF FAMOUS PEOPLE
Tastes in Liqueurs Vary as Widely as Do Different
 Tastes for Food
By ANTOINE DADONE-NEW YORK Formerly of Monte CarIo-Cafe Martin

But which wine will, of course, be tremendously important, until the reawakened tastes of this great country have found again their in- dividual preferences. It is interest ing to see how widely personal tastes in wine differ among some of our noted people. Helen Hayes. the well known stage and movie star of the present day, prefers a Rhine wine = a brand we'll fav- ored by prominent modern women while the favorite actresses of the period preceding prohibition, among whom were Lillian Russell and Anna Held, drank much Sau- terne.

 think you will find that anyone with the least touch of Latin blood always favors the French and Ital- ian wines. Toscannini almost always orders Italian Orvieto. Signor Scot to and Lucretia Bori, both famous Metropolitan opera stars, favor Italian wines with French brands next in favor. Our own s. s. Van Dine, who very seldom drinks any, thing, does prefer a Napoleon Brandy after his dinner. Van Dine, by the way. is quite the epicure

one often hears it said that in their reactions to any new move ment, people are like sheep. They follow the leader. True, perhaps, in style or politics or social cus- toms, but seldom in the matter of food, and almost never in the choice of wines. In that, you'll find after the first enthusiasm follow ing repeal is over, individual taste willadominate as strongly as ever.
 Soon we'll be drinking every thing from gin to rarest wines and champagne, as in the good old days of ten-course dinners. We shall not, however. return to such heavy feasting, I believe. Cafes are try ing hard to bring back the old formality, since elegance in fash ions seems to have been revived with the advent of repeal. But to me, an "old-timer" in the busi- ness, this movement looks a little hopeless,- and perhaps it is just as well. One should move forward not backward; the moderns have the right idea, it seems to me little food, well chosen, with some excellent wines for an oc- compaDying glow.

TOPEKA, Kan. September "A
complete revamping of Kansas State
and county governments. and numerous
changes in the State constitution, are
planned by Gov. ALT M. Landon to meet
"changed economic conditions" since
Kansas was admitted to the Union In
1851.
The Governor is planning to submit
some of the most drastic changes at
the special session of the legislature
next month. He will have to sandwich
his own program in between the pub
lie interest in beer and prohibition re-
peal on one side, and impeachment Of
two or three State officials for con-
nection with the Ronald Finney mil
lion dollar bond forgery scandal on the
other.
Briefly, the Kansas Governor plans
to centralize State government control
as nearly in the hands of the Governor
as possible; to centralize county gov
eminent in the hands of one county
manager, instead of in boards Of three
county commissioners for each county
as at present.

CASPER, Wyo., September 2-As-
surance that highway construction
work, from which the State expects
to derive material unemployment re-
lief, will not be subject to further de-
lay, probably ranks as the most i'm
portant development of the week af-
fecting Wyoming. Work involving the
expenditure of $75o,O0O was at stake,
and a problem raised by what the
State Highway Commission and the
United States Bureau Of Roads re-
garded as excessive prices asked by
contractors has been solved in large
part by new bids.
Construction that could have been
started early in August following Fed
eral approval of the projects was de-
layed when bids on 10 major jobs were
turned down. Rumors were current in
certain quarters that contractors would
stand pat or raise their bids on recon-
sideration, but the reverse proved true
when they were opened, and the result
paves the way for much new activity,
with benefits extending to various Sec
tions. Work will be under way in time
not only to take up the slack resulting
from seasonal slump In other lines,
but provide a substantial increase dur
ing the Fall months.
Unemployment Declining.
Unemployment has shown a steady
decline since April. when it was est
mated that 1884 families were on re-
lief rolls. This total fell off to 2,22e
in May and 2,072 in June, and since
then about 1900 heads of families have
been enrolled in civilian conservation
corps camps in addition to the num-
Der absorbed by normal Summer work
Just now the tourist season is CIV
ing way to the harvest season, am
the decline in the former will be made
up also in part by the invasion of big
game hunters.

Code P0pularizes N. r. A.
The distinctive labor clause placed in
the automobile code and its pleasing
tone to automobile executives has done
much to add to the popularity OF the
N. R. A. in quarters hitherto rather
skeptical Meantime evangelism in
labor ranks by labor union chiefs, un-
precedented in the States history, Is
continuing unabated and a showdown
on unionism in industrial Michigan ap-
pears inevitable. The Ford attitude to-
ward the N R. A. is causing some ap-
prehension in business circles.
The State Advisory Board Is meeting
frequently in preparation of program
for expenditure of Michigan's share in

that there is no further relief in sight

HARTFORD, Conn, September q
The crop reduction campaign to curtail
tobacco growing in the Connecticut
Valley has been a disappointment to
Federal officials of the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration, working
through the county farm bureaus, it was
announced this week.
A reduction of 5000 acres was sought,
and while revised figures for the entire
reduction campaign, which has been ex-
tended until this week, have not been
announced. it is understood that the
reduction approximates half Of the de-
sired total.
Three general groups Of non-co-op-
orators have been found: Those who
had planted their full acreage and who
believed their crop would bring more
than the Government offered; those
who had already reduced acreage to
point to such an extent that they did
not want to risk further curtailment
of their crop If tobacco growing does
yield a profit this year, and those
who have planted their full acreage
and expect the reduction Of acreage by
other growers will make it profitable
for them.

It is believed in some quarters, how
ever, that the factor most detrimental
to the success of President Roosevelt's
program here IS the failure of many
large concerns which have been granted
the Blue Eagle to live up to the pro-
visions Of the code. It is common
knowledge that some firms now under
the Blue Eagle have made virtually no
effort to conform with the code, while
many others are evading the spirit OF
the agreement Some corporations have
shortened hours, but have not hired
any more workmen, expecting their
present stats to accomplish as much
during the short work week as they
did previously.
Complaints have been pouring into
the local N r. A. headquarters SO fast
that it will be necessary to increase the
facilities to handle them, according to
Henry F. Wolff, chairman Of the COM
plants bureau. Mr.. Wolff believes that
the provisions OF the codes can and
will be enforced, but so far none of
the corporations here who are said to
be violating their pledges have been
disciplined.
