BEER BOTTLES
 GO STREAMLINE
Revolutionary Product Is No Deposit N0n-Re-
 'turnable" Article

Toledo, (UP). = o stubby. 12- ounce bottle shaped like shell with a nozzle on the point is making its bid to vanquish some of the time-tried aspects of beer drinking and rival tin cans as in- expensive containers for the foam topped brew.
 The revolutionary beer bottle appeared on the market just as tin cans brought the wrath of the A. ?. of L. because, supposedly, they are made in open shops.
 "Stubby," as manufacturers call it, is "no-deposit, non-return- able" beer bottle, which may mean something to the husband who stacks his basement full until his wife complains and then totes 8 carload to his neighborhood dis penser for a nice refund. He won't get the refund, but he won't put extra cash on the counter every time he buys 8 bottle.
 The new bottle which upsets traditions of beer glassware is made cheaply, through some meth cd Toledo bottle works spent 8 small fortune to acquire during the past two years.
 "Stubby" is of lighter glass than its predecessor and is only six and five-eighths inches high, which makes 1t cheaper to ship. From the consumer angle 1t has the advantage of wide beam, which would take a very belliger- ent elbow to pnseat.
 "Stubby" was born on the in- sistence of chain stores and large retailers, whose clerks heads were aching over the deposit problem, its sponsors say.
 Sentimental drinkers who like their beer bottles to be beer bot- ties may shed a tear if "Stubby" makes a successful bid-and those who take to vengeance early Sum day mornings won't like 1t. The neck is about long enough to re- ceive a coiled lady,s finger.

Will It Be Same Story?

Reminded that party politicians overwhelmingly oppose his nomi- nation, MT. Hoover replies that the professional politicians also opposed him in 1928. In that he is to @ large degree correct. Where he may be wrong is in his belief that the popular demand for him in 1928, especially conspicuous among busi- ness men, will be repeated in 1886 as 8 result of general disillusion- ment with the glittering Roosevelt.
 Conf1dants say Hoover suggests himself as another Grover Cleve- land, who was voted out of office in 1888 and reelected four years later. GA possible sidelight on that idea is the fact that Cleveland had a popular majority of 100000 votes in 1888-despite his electoral college defeRt, whereas Hoover was defeat- ed by a majority of more than T. OO0,000)
 Some of Hoover's friends believe his best chance would come in a deadlocked convention. Reports in- dioate an intention to achieve such B deadlock.

| Atlanta (UP).-Led by Attor- ney General Homer s. Cummings, more than 500 delegates to the five-day session of the annual congress of the American Prison association are expected to assem- ble here Oct. 28.
 Dr. M. L. Britain, president of Georgia Tech and chairman of a local committee in charge of ar- arrangements, said Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, herself an officer of the association, had expressed her desire to attend, and would if pos- sible.
 Other prominent delegates will include Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing prison, Miss Maude :, Ballington Booth of the Salvation Army, Warden Stanley P. Ashem State prison, president of the as- sociation; wardens and commits sioners of important state and fed- eral prisons, and Sanford Bates, federal superintendent of prisons.

 Although topics for discussion had not been assigned, emphasis at the congress are expected to be laid on importance of an under standing of individual prisoners.
 Calvin Derrick, immediate past president of the association com- menting on a probable agenda, said here, there has been, during the pasts everal years, more and more. emphasis of individual situ- ation of prisoners" rather than upon prison plants and industrial work.

BY RODNEY BUTCHER Democrat Washington
 COrrespOndent.)

Washington, Oct. 21.--There are two journalistic theories about Mir. Hoover. One is that he seeks re- nomination by the Republicans.
 The other is that ne mas neither thought nor expectation of re- nomination, but seeks only an infiu- ential voice in party policy and selection of the candidate.
 The answer is this:
 Hoover in recent months has summoned to him certain old friends, usually ex-officials here, who still exert some political in- duence in their home states. He has asked them point blank wheth- CT he could obtain their state dele- gations for the next g.op. .conven- ton.
 Frequently, one hears, the consult tees. have expressed polite doubts. Whereupon MT. Hoover has been known to pull outSa list of possible nominees and then, carefully out- lining the disqualiflcations of each, cross the names off one by one un- til there was left only that of good old Herbert himself.

.Vandenberg Looks Best

When political correspondents go into 8 huddle these dull days, th0y often arise agreeing that Sen- ator Arthur Vandenberg of Mich igan looks, at this admittedly early date, like the most probable nom- inee for the Republicans.
 This cones through 8 process of elimination, after the premise that the outstanding possibilities now are Vandenberg, Colonel Frank Knox of Chicago and Governor Ali Landon of Kansas.
 Wrong as they may or may not be, most people here are unable to take the Knox candidacy very seri- ously. Faced with an obvious paul city of available" material, politi- clans seek primarily vote-getter of demonstrated ability. Colonel Knox has never had a chance to demonstrate his popular appeal at the polls.

Leary of Liberal Landon

Iandon, according to Shrewd men who have been out to look him over. lives up to much of the cur- rent ballyhoo for him. While his stature scarcely overtops the Wash ington monument, 1t appears to be at least equal to that of Coolidge or Harding.
 He is described as Q man who would accept much of the liberal program Roosevelt has advanced to date-such as AAA, the power policy, banking reform, IVA and the labor dispute act-but would light for a "New Deal at bargain rates"
 But it is this liberalism of Lan- don's which already causes eastern leaders to look askadce at him and it's said to be very doubtful whether Landon would make the concessions to them which they would demand in return for sup port. <.
 Also, the boast that Kansas state and local taxes under the person. ally and publicly parsimonious Landon have been cut from $127,- OOO, ,00O to $97.00O, 900 can be riddled by citation of New Deal millions- relief, benefit checks, public works and So on--which have poured into Kansas and made such a reduction possible. Other governors have similar records.
  Vote Getter, That's All!
 That leaves, for the moment, vandenberg, who has been absent In Europe and acting as if he didn't want the nomination.
 Vandenberg has been the party's other outstanding vote-getter in a year of New Deal triumphs. AL though he voted against AAA and the Wagner bill, which doesn't in- crease his availability, he is shrewd. He has Q tinge of liberalism and probably would play ball with the eastern bosses.
 Such is the autumn dope. The winter dope may be entirely dif- Eerent.

including the first unit of the extensive

Office has fallen off somewhat during
the last few weeks due to the seasonal
decline in building. TIE plans to lay
the groundwork during the next three
months, the off-season for construc-
ton, for drive that will familiarize
every prospective home owner in the
District with the advantages of financ-
ing houses over a long term with q
single mortgage, as called for under
the housing act.
Washington financial institutions,
as well as majority of the more
prominent home builders and real
estate men, Rowland said, have been
cooperating with the administra-
ton by explaining the new idea" in
residential financing. However, he
feels there is vast reservoir of buSi-
ness in Washington for F. H. A. that
has not been touched. This business
is made up by home owners and pros
pective home owners who come within
the lower-income group, and it is
these people he intends to teach mu-
tual mortgage insurance, which he be-
lieveS is the foundation Of sound home
financing in the future.
