Matt Windsor

Matt Windsor who will open a
brand new dining and dancing
spot, the Volga Boatman on Oc-
tober third, believes that the Gus
toner should be given every COM
fort. So he has arranged for the
parking Of your automobile. All
you have to do is stop in front of
the club and leave your car. And
when you return it will be deliv'
cred right where you left it. Incl
dentally this is a very good
scheme considering. the terrible
parking accommodations in this
city.
And Matt can hardly wait for
his opening. He plans to make
it a spectacle that no one will for.
get. AS q matter of fact the new
room itself will leave many a
pleasant memory. The art work
| is really beautiful. In the enter
tainment line nothing has been
spared to bring the best Russian
talent here and with Michel
Michaeloff, conducting the orches'
ira no slips will occur here.
Knowing how freakish the

to me this young prima donna
who is now at the Lotus has not
gotten half of what she deserves.
Never has a girl with her type of

he finishes this job he is going to

black and gold paint and it will

Road Houses
Are Few

Washington is very different
than most cities so far as road
houses are concerned. Almost
every large town on the Eastern
Seaboard is surrounded by small
and attractive little clubs that
have a small floor show and Or
chestra. And do they do busl-
ness2 I should say they do.
One Of these type clubs is To-
Gated outside Of the city OF Hag-
erstown, Maryland. It has a Pc
culiar name, at least it appears
that way to those who do not
know how it got its cognomen,
Always" Mr.. Cornish, the pro-
prietor, built the spot when the
song of that name was popular.
So now the orchestra uses it as
a theme song and it is "The AL
ways Club"
When was there Tuesday who
should be there but Mary Chrys-
ler who recently worked here and
a dance duo now under the name
of Lacosta and Lolita. Just last
winter this team with another
girl were in washington at La
Paree in an act called Cuban
Nights" It was sensational and
very rough and will be remem"
bered by anyone who saw 1t. They
want to be remembered to all OF
their Washington friends. And so
does Mary who has many of
them.
Joe Kipnis, business manager
of the Kipnis Musical Service,
boasts of the facilities to furnish
any type orchestra, from the
smallest local unit to the largest
and finest attraction in the
United States.
The agency has the most COM
plete list of musicians in the city
and by calling this office you can
be certain of obtaining the finest
music available for the price you
wish to pay.

FARLEY IS TARGET
IN ALBANY DEBATE
Republicans Give Postmas.
ter General More Atten.
ton Than Usual.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, January 19-The
name Of Postmaster General James A.
Farley has been mentioned in almost
every debate since the Democrats
assumed control of the New York
Legislature January 8. Although he
has been Democratic State chairman
since 1880, the Republicans have never
before given him so much attention
as they have this year.
Farley's presence in Albany for the
opening of the Legislature inspired the
first Republican attacks. AS he sat
in the majority leaders chair they
sarcastically offered him the privileges
Of the floor.
Charge Of Dictator.
Later they charged that he was
there as a dictator" to see that none
OF the Democratic Assemblymen got
out of line in the election Of Irwin
Steingut as Speaker.
A few nights later Senator John J.
Dunnigan, Democratic leader Of the
Upper House, taunted the Republicans
with a remark that they had no able
leaders.
well, we're happy we haven't got
a Huey Long and a Jim Farley" shot
back Senator George r. Fearon, Re
publican leader.
"It's fortunate for us that we have
q Farley" said Dunnigan.
In another Set-to Dunnigan jokingly
offered to send to Washington to get

their legislative program.
will he put the heat on you If he
comes up?" a Republican Senator
asked.
"Well," Dunnigan replied, "he GER
tainly has put the heat on the Repub-
hcan party during the past few years"
Shots Taken by Eaton.
Republican State Chairman Melvin
G. Eaton also has taken few shots
at the Postmaster General. In one
statement he said:
"The Democratic majority in both
Houses, assisted by the Postmaster
General Of the United States, will
certainly demonstrate that their inter-
est Is il patronage alone and not In
the people"
In another statement he declared:
without the constructive opposition
of the Republican party In the State
Legislature and throughout the State,
the Farley machine would continue
its unreasoning efforts to saddle the
State with additional tax burdens
through the creation Of even more
patronage than has already been
created"
The attacks on Farley have been
explained in two ways. Some observ-
ers say they are inspired by reports
that the Postmaster General may
be the Democratic candidate for
Governor in 1896: others say the
Republicans, finding their attacks on
Gov. Herbert Il. Lehman and President
Roosevelt unpopular, have decided to
concentrate on Farley.

WASHINGTON STATE
PROFITS ON LIQUOR
Rear Admiral Luther E. Gregory,
Retired, Is Head Of
Control Board.

SEATTLE, January 10 LP.-A re-
tired rear admiral Of the United
States Navy heads washington States
liquor business.
He is Rear Admiral Luther e. Greg
ory, chairman of the State Liquor
Control Board, who says its prices
generally are the lowest in the coun-
try.
Gross revenue for the first year Is
estimated at s11,000,00o, with net
profit Of about $2,500,000 for the year.
The profits help build roads, support
the poor, keep the schools open and
operate the State machinery. The
State believes the bootlegger is being
exterminated.
The State offers its own blends of
Scotch, In three grades; its own gin
and three grades of cheap wine. It
sells bonded Canadian whisky cheaper
than it can be bought in Canada, it is
claimed.
I'VE find that every time we open
a new liquor store, we get a different
group of customers" said Clarence L.
Bishop, manager of the largest State
liquor store, land no store loses Gus
tomers-a strong indication to me that
we are taking trade away from the
bootlegger and into channels that will
bring profit to the State rather than
to the illegal dealer"
The State now has 46 stores and 90
agencies.
Beer and wine are sold by many
licensed dealers, under strict super
vision by State and local officers. The
beer is 4 per cent.
No license Is necessary for purchase
Of beer or wine, but in the liquor
stores there is an annual license fee
Of so cents. Even with q license,
liquor cannot be sold to persons ap-
parently under the influence Of
liquor, minors, Indians or habitual
drunkards." Permits are non-trans-
ferable and sales are for cash.
Liquor cannot be opened or con-
sumed on the premises, the clerks
must be neatly dressed and must not
smoke and cannot recommend one
brand above another.
The stores are well stocked-for ex-
ample, they sell IS different brands Of
whisky, ranging In price from so
cents to $3.25 q pint. They don't
push their own brands In preference
10 the several hundred other brands
Kept In stock-it isn't permitted.

25D,ODO MEX|CANS
RETURN TO HOMES
Vanished Wage incentives
Change immigration Con.
ditions on Border.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LAREDO, Tex, January ia
quarter million Mexican immigrants
unable to cope with economic condi-
tions in the United States have re-
turned to their homeland. Many more
are on their way.
Mexican emigration to the United
States has dwindled to the point
where it Is negligible.
Wage incentives which caused
American industrial and agricultural
sections to be flooded with cheap
labor in the prosperous '20s have
vanished and the issuance of pass
port visas has been curtailed sharply,
with the result that fewer than 1000
Mexicans migrated to the United
States last year.
Sudden Turn Of Tide.
A horde of Mexican laborers, seek
ing a better livelihood than could be
found in their own country, had been
streaming ncrthward through Ameri-
can ports Of entry from 1920 until
1880, when the tide suddenly turned.
The number Of legally admitted i'm
migrants from the Republic to the
South swelled to more than 25,00e
yearly during the decade Of good
times.
The abrupt downswing of the eco
nomic cycle in 1880, however, pre-
cipitated one of the greatest volun-
tary repatriation movements in the
history of the American continent.
Mexicans found themselves unable to
compete for available jobs and desti-
tuition followed.
American relief agencies provided
transportation, often by the train
load, back to the border. From there
the Mexican government undertook
to return them to their former homes
or, in line with the revolutionary gov
ernment's agrarian program, placing
them on farms where they can make
their own living.
Ancient Mexican Custom.
An ancient Mexican custom, which
makes it matter Of honor for rela-
tives or a "compadre" godfather
of a child to take care Of an unem-
ployed person until he is able to pro-
vide for himself, did much to solve
the problem of absorbing the re
patriodos."
Nearly 80 per cent Of the discouraged
immigrants returning to Mexico in
the last four years have crowded
through Laredo and JuareZ.
Mexican officials say higher morale
prevails in their country now and
that the governments program of lift
ing the peasants and workers to
higher social and economic levels has
encouraged emigrants to return home.
Those living In Mexico have little
urge to leave the country, they say.
