WIDOW SEEKS
HER SHARE OF
|. E:E: EST ATE.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5 (uP)- A
contest over the automobile and
radio millions of the late Don Lee
entered preliminary stages today
with the filing Of a suit to award
Geraldine May Lee, his third wife,
$2500 monthly allowance until the
estate is probated.
Mrs. Lee, who was not mentioned
in his will, claimed in her suit that
he induced her to sign a document
she believed was a waiver to his
fortune in the event she divorced
him. Actually, the document waiv-
ed all claims to his estate in return
for $4,000, she was to receive at
various times.
Claiming that she was not ac-
quainted with these provisions, Mrs.
Lee contended she never received
any part of the money and had only
$40 when the wealthy automobile
magnate died last August, three
months after they were married.
Mrs. Lee said she agreed to waive
alimony claims in the event of q
divorce to prove her love for him.
She said her late husband COM
planned bitterly of being "nicked"
for excessive alimony by his two
previous wives.
Lee willed his entire estate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 U.P) -
America observed the first birthday
OF post-prohibition legal drinking
today. Both vets and drys took a
look at the record.
Here are some of the things the
record showed:
Demands for curbing the liquor
industry arising in Congress on
snarges of reverSion to pre- prohibit.
lion practices.
Reports by the treasury depart.
ment that bootlegging continues to
cut heavily into tax revenues.
Other treasury reports showing
repeal revenues in the first IL
months totalled $329, ,465 ,2O581.
An estimate by liquor dealers that
consumers spent $1,500,O0O,000 for
legal liquor in the first year of re-
peal. Some believe Illicit liquor
sales would double this total.
Deaths from alcoholism in Ia
representative states show a decline
from 1,464 in 1888 to 1875 in 1894.
Decline in consumption OF tax
paid spirits from a pre-Volstead
figure of 130,O00,O00 gallons yearly
TO 50,000,000 gallons. Bootleg liquor
Is believed to make up a consider
able part of the difference.

Paris-This is going to be sea- son when materials speak for themselves. Among the more fanci- full of the 1894 fabrics is printed net.
 In plaids. fruits, flowers and con- ventional designs printed net is scheduled for a popular summer run. Tn addition to using 1t for such types of costume as we have been accustomed to, the new print ed nets will also find themselves made into sports outfits and suits for street wear.
 Straw cloth Is another novelty that is, 1t has all the earmarks of novelty with the more stable bene- fits of practicability. It consists of cellophane woven on artificial silk. and Is to be used both for CO.'S tunes and for hats. It is to be had in colors and In black and white dangerous when too near excessive heat. hut delightful when near soft light.
 Com position wools make m in- terestlng group ln the new fabric department. They are n medley Of widely different strands and threads with an assortment Of odd c0lorA, off. .shades of better known hues. And almost invariably there are Rold or silver thFends--s0motImes nolored metal strands--woven ln with the wool. This was started lasi nilmmer for few winter wooln and met with such success thai you will marvel at some Of the new effects.
