Unlicensed
Beer Sale
HELEN FITZGERALD
MARGARET CHILDs

ROCKVILLE, Nd, Sept. 10.
Can beer be sold legally in a Ma
tional Guard Armory in Mont
gomery County without first Sc
curing county beer sale license?
Herbert O'Conor, Attorney Gen.
eral of Maryland, will be asked to
submit an opinion on this ques-
ton, it was learned here today
from members of the County
Liquor Control Board, following
a request from Capt. Ward w.
Caddington, o m m a d n g the
Service Company, First Infantry,
Maryland National Guards, that
beer sales be permitted in the
armory without a license.
Captain Caddington pointed
out that sales in these institu-
tions are limited. but that the
small sums earned through these
sales are of considerable aid in
purchasing equipment. The arm
ory is a State-owned building un'
der Federal supervision.
Members of the Board have ex'
pressed willingness to permit sale
without a license if it is legal.

R RACKETEERS )
SAID T0HAVE
'SQUEALED'
Hope Gamblers Will
Identify Men Who
Used Extortion

A group Of former bootlegers,
hijackers and rum runners of pre-
repeal days, whose income has
been wiped out or seriously cut
by the return of legal liquor and
who have turned to holdups and
shake downs" for a livelihood,
are being held for investigation
while police probe series of re-
cent holdups and reports of the
shaking down" of a number of
gamblers and numbers racketeers.
There are police reports on
Legitimate" holdups such as that
of a Southeast seafood house by
a gunman disguised in burnt cork
and also those of several liquor
stores, but the shake downs"
have come to police as "squeals''
of victims reputedly out to get
the men who took various sums
of money from them under
threats of wrecking their gam
bling enterprises.
Why They Are Silent
Some of the biggest names in
Washingtons so-called sporting
fraternity have been mentioned
in the grapevine reports as vic
tins of these racketeers. Police
say the reason no shootings have
resulted from the reputed "shake
downs" is due to the gamblers
desire to keep the city quiet and
not give police cause to harass
them as they did following the
killing of Allen B. Wilson, Wash
ingotn Herald route agent.
Reports also have reached Wash
ington police that group of New
York gamblers, described as the
biggest in the town, have sought
to gain foothold in Washington
and intended to set up gaming
places in two prominent downtown
hotels. To do this, of course, re-
ouired protection. which appar-
entity no one has been able to
guarantee.
Hope for Identification
Police hope they will be able to
get a number of the gambling fra
ternity to identify the men who
took money from them under
threat in order to add cases
against the men now held, some
of whom have been identified, po"
lice said, in the sea food and liquor
store holdups.
In the home of one of the men
held, according to detectives as
signed to the holdup squad, were
found number Of pistols ana
two antique guns. These latter
detectives said, have been identl'
fled by witnesses to several hold
ups to those carried by the black
faced bandit who recently held Up
several Washington restaurants
and stores.

WOMEN EQUAL,
BUT THE MEN
DISPUTE IT
Male Sex Held Likely
ToAPpIy Intellect
More Carefully

Who is mere man that he can
say with any semblance of au.
thority that woman is his infe-
rior?
Yet, he has said it and it's going
to take generations and genera
tions of progressive thought to dis
prove it.
OF course, one can't generalize,
but according to DR.. Nolan D. c.
Lewis. director of laboratories of
st. Elizabeth's Hospital, a well
known psychologist, there is moth
ing in science by which man can
prove he is definitely intellectually
superior to the feminine sex.
But man long ago made up his
mind that he was the lord and
master and mentally superior and
the notion, however erroneous, DR..
Lewis says, is one that will be
long in passing.
No Difference
Actually, according to the psy-
chologist, there is no difference in
the intellectual capacities of men
and women. However:
"The use of that intellect is
another matter. In women, the
emotional makeup is more apt
to interfere with their judgment
in matters of cold facts.
"Obviously, that is generali-
Zation. But in my opinion, in
matters where a man would ap-
ply cold, unbiased judgment, a
woman will allow sympathy and
other Of her very humane quail
ties to interfere"
Then, there's the matter of in
tuition. Men are very likely to dis.
miss it as a mere myth. But not
so DR.. Lewis.
Defined BY Science
Although there is as yet no sci,
entific basis for intuitive impulses,
science has a pretty good defini.
ton for it. According to DR.. Lewis,
it goes something like this:
Intuition is process Of
thought which has more of the
SubcOnsciOus element than the
conscious. It is based on the
ability to use past experiences
without the memory of those ex-
periences coming through to ac-
tual awareneSs."
In other words, it's something
like a hunch. But it isn't safe to
depend on it at the race track.

William Roberts warned last night

Here are some of his hints tt

Demand sales slips indicating

Don't encourage cheating by
asking for "a 15-cent piece of
ice," or so many cents worth Of

Cotton futures drifted slightly

With trading at a. moderate

Some liquidation in the distant

Contracts were supplies by spot
