HEARINGS SLATED
ON LIQUOR BILL
Norton Measure Would
Strengthen Weakness
in Control Act.

With the Dirksen bill designed to
abolish Washington's hidden bars
on the House calendar. the Judiciary
Subcommittee of the House District
Committee made preparations today
to consider the Norton bill to
strengthen weak links in the liquor
control act
Representative Palmisano, Democrat
of Maryland, chairman of this sub
committee, announced public hear
ings on the Norton bill probably would
be held next week. He said every
effort will be made to get this measure
before the House for early action.
Backed b. A. B. c. Board.
The Norton bill is sponsored by the
District Commissioners and the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board. and its
purpose primarily is to eliminate GER
tain undesirable conditions that have
grown up since repeal of the prohibi-
ton law.
One Of the principal provisions of
the bill is aimed at the practice of
some night clubs and other establish
lIdN oil Oll-SdIc III
serving a large number of drinks just
prior to the dead line on the sale of
liquor for consumption later. The
measure would prohibit this by for
bidding consumption of liquor on the
premises after the legal hours of sale.
Suspension Provided.
Another provision is intended to
give the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board the authority to suspend in
stead of revoke permit of licensee.
George w. Offutt, chairman of the
board, explained there are certain vio-
lations for which the proprietor of a
liquor establishment is not directly
responsible, but under existing law it
is necessary to revoke permit. where
as suspension of the license might
serve as a sufficient penalty.
The bill also provides an increased
penalty for second offense intoxica-
ton and drinking in public by fixing
the maximum fine at 5000 or go days
Imprisonment or both.
The Commissioners had hoped the
Norton bill would be considered joint
ly with the Dirksen "open bar" meas
ure. but Palmisano said it was intro
duced too late for Joint hearings.

GIorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA service staff Writer

"please tell me exactly how to groom my face for very formal, important Christmas dance" writes e young matron. ordinarily, I don't spend much time on beauty rou- tines, but, this once, I'll spend hours if you say so."
 First of all, I want to say that a girl who gives her skin reason able amount of attention day in and day out, year after year, doesn't have to devote half day before a party to making herself attractive If she always keeps her skin smooth and clear, hair healthy and nails net, preparations for a dance should be little more trouble than getting ready to go to the office or on shoping trip.
 However, if you haven't time for regular mask treatments and the like, allow about two hours to get ready for a formal party.
 First of all, clean face and neck and pat with tonic. Then apply a layer of rich tissue cream and leave 1t on while you bathe, assemble un- derwear and brush your teeth. Then, remove the cream, pat again with tonic to remove every trace of oil and smooth on a mask, either 6 commercially prepared variety or one you have made from egg or oatmeal. Lie down for twenty minutes or un- til the mask is dry.
 When you get up remove the mask with tepid water, use more tonic, then put foundation on shoulders and arms as well as face and neck. The rest of your cos metics go on in the usual manner. If you have 6 bottle of liquid powder, do not put foundation on arms and back. Use the liquid and nothing else.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

A lily will sometimes grow in e barnyard and ivy has been found in castle garden. Such exceptions are true of human beings too. Oc- casionally we find Q child of rare beauty and grace living in the low est type of home; and its reverse, the tough little hoodlum in the midst of culture and refinement who defes every attempt to make a gem tleman of him.
 But as rule the child is rub ber-stamped with his home life. Whether parents are conscious of it or not, their children are, out in the world telling the complete story of every word and act.
 If parents are gracious and kind- ly to their neiehbors, small Joan or Peter will possess the same ear- marks of culture. It happens that culture is not made up of the new est type of candle-sticks or roses In a vase, but of courtesy We often mistake the symptoms for the real thing. There is nothing to good- breeding if 1t is not built funda- mentally on graciousness to others. Imitation Faces Exposure
 It is common for parents to think that home life will rub of, if it has been a casual sort of thing. a medley of quarrels, carelessness, and disorder; to take 1t for granted that Peter will be polished of in college and by mixing with gentle men; or that Joan can camoufiage her innate rudeness by learning to initiate the gentler girls with whom she is thrown.
 While such things do have their effect, what is bred in the bone will tell. It is the easiest matter in the world to detect the spurious, and the veneer invariably wears thin when one is of guard or la boring under excitement. Also, unless kindness is first and not second nature, selfishness contin- ues to be the invariable habit that colors every action.
 There are other requisites of good breeding, of course, besides courtesy and kindness.
 Keep Home Life Pleasant
 Tolerance toward others, sports manship, neatness of person, a cer- tain reserve of speech, ability to keep condolences, to endure small upsets without verbal complaint. These an d many other traits of like kind are characteristic of the thoroughbred.
 If you would have your children grow up to be real gentlemen and ladies, dear mother and father, it would be wise not to allow the daily examples of home life to spoil their chances for the future. It is wise to keep close watch on the tongue, and to control tenn per. If the child sees his parents in battles of uncontrolled fury, It gives him 8 sense of right in re- beating it himself.
 "Show me the child and I will have a portrait of the parents, :" has been uttered by more than one wise man. Those who hope their offspring may outshine the old folks are doomed to disap- pointment if they have neglected the first onices of the moulding process. As in everything else. prevention is better than cure. l Copyright, 1885, NEA Service, Inco

New York.-One man know is planning to put 8 complete modern kitchen in the toe of his wife's Christmas stocking. She is the girl who, when she was bride two Octobers ago, got laughed at by some of her feminine friends for saying very earnestly, "I'd rather have a new gadget for my kitchen than a new hat any day"
 Oddly enough, good many of the scoflng friends have come round to her way of thinking. Or if it isn't the kitchen they crave g gadget for, it's the living room or the sun room. Which is just an- other way of saying that the home is the latest feminine hobby. And that makes gift giving ducky for the bachelor friend of the family, the occasional weekend guest or Big Sisters beau who would like to get in good with all his pros- pective relatives at one fell swoop.

The Truth About Diet Listless, Tired Body, Acid Condition Due To Lack Of Carbohydrates
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and ef Hy-
 Reia. the Health Magazine

Editor, Journal of the American
 Medical Association, and of Hy-
 geia, the Health Magazine
 Whenever you feel iistless and tired. your body hasn't enough car bohydrate stored in 1t to keep it functioning properly. At the same time, an insufficient amount of this important food element results in tendency to an acid condition.
 Carbohydrates are stored in the liver and in the muscles. As the blood flows through these parts of the body, it picks up the carbohy- drate stored there, so that the sugar content in the blood remains at normal level.
 Furthermore, the sugar stored in the muscles is reserved for use of these organs in their activities. When you go on Q severe reducing diet, and take an insufficient amount of carbohydrate, you may so deprive the liver of the sugar ordinarily stored there in the form of glycogefi that serious damage may result.
 Before explaining the action and effect of the carbohydrates on the body, let me list the foods that are rich and those that are poor in carbohydrates, as I did previously in the case of the proteins.
 Foods Rich in Carbohydrates
 Breadstuffs, candies, cashew nuts. chestnuts, cocoanut, condensed milk, crackers, biscuits, cakes, etc, dried fruits, Farinaceotis foods, Lichi nuts, rnincemeat, peanuts, potatoes, pre- served fruits, ready-to-eat cereals. starches, sugars, syrups.
 Foods Peer in Carbohydrates

ABOUT TO DYE, SALUTE THE
 COSMETIC INDUSTRY


 Of the inquiries coming to this column the proportion referring to cosmetics is noticeably smaller than at any time for twenty years back. I don't know how to interpret this, but I believe 1t indicates that cos- metics are better today than they ever have been before, and that one may now dye or bleach his hair or tint his complexion or use depiliia- tory or rouge or other beautifier with 8 reasonable degree of safety
 Many reports of poisonous or un- pleasant results from the use of cosmetic rostrums have appeared in medical literature in the past ten or fifteen years, and it may be that such occasional happenings have led some of us to regard all such preparations as injurious. That is not fair conclusion and 1t is mol smart.
 used the masculine gender above. Of course girls and women are the great users of cosmetics ol beauty aids, but these days an in- creasing number of persons of an- other sex are indulging in per- manents, facials n everything where formerly they hesitated to get a manicure in view of men.
 Man or woman who can perhaps hold job longer or get better chance in the world or make a more pleasing appearance by the use of any cosmetic artifice, make up or disguise would be a ninny if he or she failed to take advan- tage of the opportunity.
 Unfortunately there are still cer- tain cosmetic preparations which contain dangerous or poisonous chemicals and these objectionable items inevitably tend to give all cosmetics 8 bad reputation, es- pecially as the makers of honest, high class cosmetics seem to have no ethical standard by which to restrain interruptions ones.
 There is a need for some sort of advisory, if not a censoring board or commission to set up a code Of ethics and rules for the guidance of the cosmetic industry, a reason- able and sane code which will not only remove the stigma which has grown up in the mind of the med ical profession, but also give the public the assurance to which pur- chasers of such commodities are entitled.
 Apparently there is an inclination on the part of certain self-appoint- ed censors to exaggerate the danger involved in the use of certain questionable cosmetic preparations These unofficial but aggressive critics sometimes give the general public a wrong impression; they gave me a wrong impression of va. rious popular cosmetics which ] have latterly learned are actually unobjectionable when properly used Doubtless I passed my bad impress sion along to many other persons This is one of the reasons why think a 'czar" or 6 board of coun. sellors should be selected by the cosmetic industry itself, and thl rulings of this authority obeyed ir way which would win popular confidence and respect.
 If believed my greying hail might prevent me from holding ol getting a job, I'd have my hail dyed even if the dye contained lead. which I know is a poison, bui which I doubt would poison ml when used in that way.
