Washington, March 14-U.P.) I-The overwhelmingly wet house or representatives was set to pass 3.2 per cent beer bill to-day and speed it to 8 friendly senate for final approval.
 Senate leaders pledged fastest possible consideration in that branch after the pending economy bill is passed.
 Legalization of brew before the end of the week was a distinct possibility. It would be on tap as soon after that as breweries could turn it out and states arranged to | supervise it's sale.
 Leaders of both houses tumbled into line after President Roosevelt in 8 two-sentence special message | asked immediate action to carry , out the democratic beer pledge and provide new revenues for the empty federal treasury. They were more than willing to unleash thei, eager and rampantly anti-prohibi tionist followers.
 "The house will pass the beel bill before the adjournment thi. afternoon" Speaker Rainey assert ed. and not even the most militan prohibitionists disputed the pre- diction.
 Some democratic leaders ever doubted that a formal roll-cal vote would be needed. They re ferred smilingly to the swellin: chant of "vote, vote for beer which yesterday twice interrupted reading of the presidential mess age.
 Legislative formalities, alread! twice ignored during the brie Roosevelt special session, were dis carded again under the procedure laid out by Rainey to speed pass. age of the beer measure.
 Promptly at noon the house committee which must handle the beer bill. The schedule then calls for the chamber to recess for an hours or so while the committed goes through the motions of form ally reporting the measure.
 As soon as that is done, Rainey promised to call the house togeth- CT again and put the measure through under strict gag rules.
 Unless an unexpected hitch de- velops, the whole process should not take more than three or four hours.
 The modification bill which ap. pears certain to be written into the laws of the United States will beal the name of Representative Thomas Cullen, democrat, New York, veteran chairman of the Tammany delegation.
 In brief, 1t would legaliZe beer ale, porter and lager of not more than 3.2 per cent alcoholic content by weight. It does not provide fol wine. Representative Lea, demo crat, California, has introduced 8 10 per cent wine bill on which he is hopeful of action later.
 A $500 federal tax would be levied on each barrel of beer Brewers would paya $1,000 license fee for their manufacturing per mits. Treasury officials here esti- mated the government would get about $150,0O0,0OO a year.
 There is no federal regulation of sale. Advertising is permitted.
 Sale of beer to minors is per- mitted under the tentative bill. on the theory that the beverage would be notwithstanding.
 States which do not desire man. ufacture or sale within their bor- der would, of course, be protected by both local and federal regula- tions. Each state also would have the right to regulate sale of the beer in any way it desired.

 The senate rejected a bill today giving the chief justice of the su- preme court of errors power to name 8 judge of the court of com mon pleas to sit on the superior court bench in emergencies.
 At 2 o'clock this afternoon legis- 1ators of New Haven county, re- caucus to discuss the county bud- get for the coming two years. The democrats were expected to con- tinue to advocate cuts in salaries of county officers, while repubH- cans indicated they would stick to the budget they first presented this year.
 The appropriations committee was scheduled to hold a hearing this afternoon 'on bill appro- priating $2,250,000 for construction of the new soldiers home at Rocky Hill. Ex-servicemen from all parts of the state were in Hartford for the hearing.
 The senate passed bill this morning making certain restaints in the use of labels on kosher food sold in this state.

There are many explanations for this illusion. One method of performing this illusion requires the presence of tzvo girls in the box. One girl curs up in the left half of the box with her head and hands protruding giving the effect you see illustrated above. The other girl is doubled up in the right half of the box with only her feet showing Nobody is sawed in half.

Cigarette advertising, too, has its tricks. Consider the illusion that "Flavor" can be achieved by some kind of magical hocus- pocus in manufacturing.
 EXPLANATIONS: Just three factors control the flavor of cigarette. The addition of arti- fcial Aavoring. The blending of various to- baccos. And the quality of the tobaccos them.

most American liberals have been saying for
long time.
That l. more or less what President Roose-
vet had in mind when he appealed to repre-
sentative Latin-American governments to CO.

ton.
Although the President did not go that far,
he well might have extended his invitation
beyond diplomatic cooperation to include
military cooperation If necessary. It is bad
enough for any nation to interfere in the af-
fairs Of another sovereign nation at any time
for any cause.
But international action Of that kind often
can be justified. International action here
means Pan-American action
This is no mere academic question. 1t is
the crux Of the very practical and very critical
problem in Cuba today and in our entire
Latin american relations.

THE AMERICAN HABIT

ONE Of the queer things about American
~ politics, when you stop to think about it,
is the habit we seem to have developed in the
last few years Of making up our minds on
things all in a bunch.
The current vote on prohibition repeal is
an example.
Prohibition was voted into the Constitu-
ton without a hitch. If the action Of the
state legislatures can be taken as gauge
and it is hard to see why it can't-acceptance
of the need for prohibition was pretty general
from coast to coast.
And now prohibition is going out in the
same way. Wet states like New York, dry ones
like Maine. Iowa, and Arkansas-they're all
going the same way.
1t has been the same way in presidential
elections. Not since 1915 has there been
close one. The rest have all been landslides.
Evidently, when we make up our minds on
something, we make them up almost unani-
mouSly.

dition. And the whole business Is Just one
more example Of the thing that inevitably
happens to any game when it is trotted out
Of the seclusion Of an aristocratic club and
made spectacle for the people at large.
These big tennis matches make their bid
for popular support. The stars are national
characters In precisely the same way that
star baseball players. golfers, and pugilists
are national characters.
Some Of them, for all the fact that they
are amateurs" make very good living out
Of the game And they have precious little
kick coming If the cash customers get noisy.
When you court public favor, build big
stadium, and collect cash at the box Office
from all corners, you can't complain if the
crowd behaves as it would at any profess
sonal exhibition.
Lawn tennis, college football polo-all OF
these sports are being professionalism, be-
cause they WOO the crowds. If the sponsors
Of these sports are panied at the way the
crowds act. their one remedy Is to stop SELL
ing tickets

A MONG the ancient institutions that have
had a good bit of their gloss rubbed off
by contact with rough-neck world during
the last few years one must not forget to
list the once snooty game of tennis.
This game, which started way back when,
as an amusement for the nobility of Europe,
has been carried along on the tide Of events
until now it is becoming a diversion for the
masses. much like baseball and football; and
the sign Of its change is to be found in the
way the galleries behave at the big matches.
If you have followed the newspaper ac-
counts of the recent matches at Forest Hills,
you hardly can fail to have noticed that play
ers. umpires, and presiding officials were
panied every so often by the effervescence Of
the paying spectators.
A one-time tennis queen was booed lus-
tily when she walked of the court; shouts Of
applause punctuated all the games, the UNI
pires were obliged often to call for quiet, and
the players protested that the yellS Of the
cash customers disturbed the Sabbath-like
quiet in which the games were being con-
Quoted
All this is contrary to the ancient dignity
Of tennis. You are not supposed to cheer
loudly or to administer the razzberry, in a
tennis stadium. A little refined handclapping,
now and then-thats the limit.
But the crowd gets unruly, In spite Of ira

ANOTHER MILESTONE PASSED

NTHEN you are travelling fast and have no
W speedometer, one way of gauging your
speed is to watch the milestones along the
road and see how rapidly they are whiwing
by you.
One Of the handiest milestones now avail
able for Uncle Sans children is that provided
by the banking business.
Less than a year ago finance still was the
sacred mystery of the old days, realm which
ordinary mortaIs might not criticise and into
which a mere public servant might not ven
ture without first removing his hat.
Today we find responsible government off,
Gals declaring that it soon may be necessary
for Uncle Sam to assume virtual control Of
the whole banking industry.
The R. F. c., 1t is pointed out, is ready to
invest a billion dollars in stock of banking in
stitutions. In this way it could get Is per
cent ownership in American bank capital, and
would have an important voice in control of
most Of the nations banking resources.
1t would, of course. take the seventh son of
a seventh son to say right now whether all
this actually will be done. But the mere fact
that the administration is talking about it is
immensely significant. . Do you see tina
milestone wI1izzing past?
Now it is easy to find good reasons for OPP
posing this proposed step The principal
reason that will occur to most people, prob
ably, is that we have no guarantee whatever
that the scheme would work out WELL
No one, that is, knows whether Uncle Sam
is qualified to run the banking business. He
might make fine hash of things
But any question of this kind must be con-
sidered against its proper background; and the
proper background for this one is the simple
fact that the existing system has been work
ing very badly indeed for a long time.
Bank depositors and stockholders have lost
a great deal of money, and trade has not had
the credit facilities it should have had. We
may be moving at frightening pace, but we
had plenty to be afraid Of when we were
standing still.

ONE of the most common inJu-
" ries associated with the football
season is the development of a loose
cartilage in the knee joint. The
one usually affected is known as
the senilunar cartilage.
Bv a sudden twist of the foot out
ward and the knee inward, this car
tilage is broken or torn so that I'M
n1edately there is pain on the inner
side of the knee joint, with locking
of the joint and practically always
with swelling and inability to
straighten the leg.
In the vast majority OF cases,
after the leg is pulled into position
and a bandage applied, the pain
will be sufficient to prevent the pa
tient from using the knee very
much.
In a short time the swelling dis
appears and the knee feels better.
If the incident occurs once, there
is a tendency to have it occur again
and again.
Occasionally a portion Of this
cartilage is broken loose and re-
mains loose, but in most instances
there is healing.
It now is we'll established that an
operation on the knee joint with re-
movaI of the cartilage will bring

and an eventual and distinct peril
to the future Of our country.
It is with this situation in mind
that we, the unemployed teachers OF
America, seeing no hope from any
source, and with nothing to lose by
so doing, make a desperate appeal.
We lay our case respectfully before
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, herself
leader in education, and a sup
porter of NRA.
Already she has ir many ways
proved her active interest in the
welfare of the oppressed. In the
unprecedented feat, accomplished
almost overnight of establishing
camps for unemployed women, she
has given a brilliant example of her
pioneer spirit.
We hunbly solicit her leadership
on our behalf, with the plea that
she intervene for MIRA support for
teachers out of work. Through her
influence we request the govern
ment in Washington to recon-
slider it's tacit consent to the ire
mendous waste of training and tai
ent, the untold despair, and the
patent injustice of refusing atten-
ton to one particular group who

MIRA may prove a fine thing for
~ industry, but it's going to work
a hardship on marriage. Husbands,
the poor dears, with shortened
hours, no overtime, and few con-
ferences, will find it hard to invent
excuses for being coddled. No fell
low on a six-hour shift can expect
the Little Woman to meet him at
the front door with his slippers.
The Tired Business Man, bless
his bald head, is taking his last bow
before the footlights and somebody
else besides the chorus girl will live
to regret it, or I miss my guess.
The hardest job we women ever
have had is to keep the male fiat
tered and soothed. Whether you
work at home or in the Office, your
main task is to smooth down ruff
fed masculine feathers and protect
the easily irritated gentleman from

Loose Cartilage Comes Often in Football

periods so as gradually to bring
about complete movement OF the
joint again.
Doctor Wright mentions the fact
that it is possible to prevent me-
chanical strain on the cartilage by
eIevating the heel Of the shoe on the
inner border in cases in which the
inner semilunar cartridges are the
ones involved. Usually the foot is
elevated from Il to % Of an inch.
The eminent writer's on Football
Injuries" Drs. M. A. Stevens and
w. M. Phelps, feel that after the
cartilage has been dislocated or torn
three times in the case Of any one
football player, it is well to have it
removed by operation if the player
wants to keep at work.
A player who has had a torn car
tilage may play again as soon as the
swelling and pain disappear, but the
knee is likely to be thrown out in
any game.
In such instance it becomes locked,
making it impossible for him to con-
tinue and, at the same time, giving
him severe pain.
Some players have had the injury
so often that it becomes more or less
painless with them, and they learn
to throw the joint back into place
when the slipping or pinching of the
cartilage occurs.

It Seems
to Me
. BY HAYWOOD BROUN

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-Our sons

But in any case they or 1t, are
back in the academic halls. And
my advice is, Leave them there
without much outside interference
until spring comes round next
year"
During a summer it may be posi-
bic for a parent to make some slight
association with a descen dant
through golf or tennis or general
conversation. But this is not enough
upon which to found a theory.
Every mature generation does well
to accept the fact that there is q
gulf between. Each year in every
college the bitter farce is played of
old grads coming back in seach Of
their lost youth They will not find

Specifically, there is no poorer
poker game than that in which some
visiting parent attempts to sit down
with the boys to show them how it's
done. The old gentleman usually is
rusty about the rules. He slows up
the deal and hugely embarrasses his
heir by the display Of gross inepti-
tude.

Brag on his golf and reawaken
his putting ambitions Talk up
poker as a pastine and don't scorn
the beer party as a last resort. Any
thing to keep him in good spirits
during the long winter evenings.
Horseback riding is good, if you
can afford it, and picnicking, and
fishing and hunting in season. Buy
tool chest and set him at the
broken-down furniture. Subscribe
to some more magazines.
Slyly intrude anagrans, jigsaw
and crossword puzzles into the fam
lily circle. Challenge him TO show
up the dement's OF the Culbertsop
system. Yard work is always good,
too, but you have to be skillful in
putting the idea over.
Above all, fix him room to
which he can retire in bitter or
sulking moments. Don't nag or
scrub too much when he's around,
and heaven help you, sister!
