HIT THAT
COLD
WHERE IT LIVES

Don't fool yourself about cold!
It's nothing to be taken lightly nor
treated lightly. A cold is an in
ternal infection that will quickly
spread within the system unless
promptly checked. The wise thing
to take for cold is Groves Laxa-
tive Bromo Quinine. n
First of all, it is distinctly cold
remedy and not a "cure-all." Sec
ondly, it is an internal treatment.

SAYS He PLANS
To GIVE TIME
To REALTY
Prescott Names Successor
at Rockville Meeting
Held in Secret

Major E. Brooke Lee, Demo
cratic organization leader of Mont
gomery county last night revealed
that he had retired from active
management of Mon gomery
county political affairs. His inten-
tionS, he said, are to devote full
time to an extensive real estate
business.
Major Lee was elected State
Comptroller in 1919, and since
that time has been active in politi-
cal affairs. In announcing his re-
tirement Major Lee said it was no
longer possible for him to give the
time necessary to carry on the
work, and expressed the belief
that entirely competent men and
women are available, and should
take responsibility.
Stedman Prescott, States attor-
ney for Montgomery county, has
been decided upon as Lees
successor. Inc decision was mdue
at a meeting of more that 10
county Democratic leaders at the
courthouse in Rockville, Monday
night.
At that meeting Prescott was
made chairman of the county
organization, with Curtis Walker,
Of Chevy Chase, recording Secre-
tary; Miss Lavinia Engle, corre-
spending secretary; Lacy Shaw,
treasurer; }. Bond Smith, Ia
koma Park, chairman of speak
ers and publicity committee;
Lacy Shaw, chairman of the reg
i6tration committee, and j. Don
aid Clagett. of Silver Spring,
chairman of the finance COM
nittee.
Major Lees abdication came as
O surprise. He is 80 years old

tics later to be a candidate for
governor, in which event Gov
ernor Ritchie will be a candidate
for the United States Senate.

RICHMOND, Jan. II. - While

by the State Liquor Control Com
mission, Delegate Vivian L. Page,
of Norfolk city, has introduced a
bill in the House of Delegates
that would leave up to the coun-

of liquor plan they would have.
The Page bill has features of
the proposed District of Columbia
bill and the Montgomery county
(MdD dispensary law. Communi-
ties would, Of course, have the
right to prohibit sales.
Hotels and restaurants would
be permitted to sell liquor with
meals and customers could stand
at the bar and drink beer and
wine, while only unbroken pack
age sales would be made retail
under the Page licensing system.
The other Page plan is to limit
all sales to packaged goods in
county, city or toWn-owned and
operated dispensaries.
Page said his bill would obtain
about S1,750, 900 annually for the
State. An excise tax of so cents

WAR ON NUMBERS
Rev. StockdaIe Says Game
Is lnsidious Form of
Gambling.

Rev. Allen A. Stockdale, pastor OF
the First Congregational Church, be-
lieves that one of the most insidious
forms of gambling is exemplified in
the numbers game. DR.. Stockdale
is heartily in sympathy with The Star,
the Post, the Herald and the Times
in their refusal to print the winning
numbers, as totaled from race track
results.
with the four radio stations and
the newspapers banded together to
suppress information Of value only
to the gamblers" said DR.. Stockdale,
this game may be effectively curbed
until such time as laws are amended
or strengthened to help police and
prosecutors wipe it out"
THE numbers game is an evil in
fiuence," DR.. Stockdale said, because
it puts temptation in the path of
young boys, teaching them a bitter
philosophy. Public opinion should
be aroused against the game. The
Star is doing this admirably. There
is difference between arousing pub
lie opinion and wooing 1t. When once
public opinion is properly awakened
the numbers game will go out"

Hauptmann Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, December 18.-Rumors
that Betty Cow, former Lindbergh
nurse, was headed for the United
States as a witness in the murder trial
Of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, caused
a widespread check today as to where
Miss Cow might be.
The rumors said she was on the
Anchor liner Caledonia and on the
S. S. Aquitania, both of which are
headed for New York. The rumor
regarding the latter ship. however,
was pretty well dissipated when its
purser answered mot on board" to a
radio query.
The mystery was all the deeper be-
cause the former nurse has, for
months past, avoided the public gen.
orally at her home in Glasgow
The local Offices of the Anchor Line
confirmed a report that woman who
booked passage under the name "Viv-
len M. Taylor" sailed on the Caledonia
from Glasgow December II. The ship
is due in New York December 20.
Miss Cows mothers name is Taylor.
There was another rumor at South
ampton that Miss Cow had boarded
the Aquitania there sailing for New
York this morning under the name Of
Taylor. This rumor was not confirmed,
however.

FEDERAL LENDING
DIVIDES INDUSTRY
Leaders Receive With Mixed
Opinion Plan for Net
work of Agencies.
By the Associated Press.


WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, w.
Va, December l8.-American indus
trial leaders, meeting to promote CO.
operation with the administration, re-
ceived today with mixed opinions the
plan for a Nationwide network of
Federal lending agencies.
Some members privately expressed
doubt of the practicability of the plan,
recommended to Secretary Morgen-
thau yesterday by special Treasury De-
partment investigators. They declined
to be quoted, however, explaining that
the meeting itself may take up the
subject.
There was informal comment that
individual banks should become more
active Immediately in lending money.
with opinion divided as to whether
there should be cessation of Govern
ment lending.
Determination was evinced by the
90 business executives. meeting as the
Joint business conference for re-
covery," to end what is regarded as
a period Of exile from Government
councils.
One basic principle-that there
should be continuing committee to
represent all business-underlay the
study for a permanent naison in the
Capital among various business organ
ization, which could voice effectively
the views Of commerce before the ad-
ministration and Congress.
The executives were careful to avoid
the implication they are setting up a
lobbying organization. They explained
the theory behind the idea of the
liaison is simply that business has
failed to present its views adequately,
and that its efforts in the administra-
ton have been so diffused as to be
ineffective.
c. B. Ames, president of the Texas
Co. and chairman of what he describes
as the "epochal" conference, admitted
past divergence of business opinion
has weakened the cases of those who
have opposed administration proposals
and that only unanimity can give busi-
ness legitimate authority.

President Roosevelt today was con-

DESP0NDENT, A SUICIDE
BY the Associated Press.

HARTFORD, Conn, December
18.-The hand that held the baton
for orchestras in Europe and Amer
ica has turned upon Christian Kriens.
The 54-year-old composer con-
ductor- -violinist shot himself at his
home last night. Police attributed
his suicide to dependency after the
failure of a radio station to renew
his contract as musical director and to
his subsequent inability to make a
satisfactory musical connection in
New York.
Kriens, a native Of Dresden, Ger
many, came to America in 1901 and,
among other engagements. conducted
French opera at New Orleans and
played with the first violin choirs of
leading orchestras in Philadelphia
and New York. He was conductor
at Amsterdam in 1926.
