there were no elevator operators
on duty at police headquarters
last night and the $50 citizens
had to climb to the third floor.
Two detectives were pressed into
service to run the elevators so
the prisoners could be kept to-
gether and not strung out on
the Stairways as they were being
moved back to the precinct sta
tions in which they are being
held.
Hang-outs for colored men and
women in the Fourth (South-
west) Precinct were raided yes
terday by police squads. Eighty
allegedly undesirable colored men
were rounded up, photographed,
fingerprinted, questioned and held
for line-ups to which citizens
will be invited.

SUNDAY SALES
OF LIQUOR
REJECTED
Dirksen's M e a S ure
Loses; No Hearings
For Guyer Bill

In a surprise move today the
House District Committee voted
to reject the Dirksen bill to amend
the local liquor law so as to permit
establishments serving liquor to
remain open Saturday night until
2 a. m.
At the same meeting it was
emphatically announced by Repre-
sentative Vincent L. Palmisano
CD of Maryland. chairman of the
Judiciary subcommittee, that he
refuses absolutely to hold hear
ings on the Guyer bill proposing
the return of prohibition to the
District.
Dirksen Urges Vote
Representative Everett Dirksen
CR.) of Illinois, who introduced the
bill to allow the serving of drinks
until 2 a. m. Sunday, urged the
committee to vote on his measure
without hearings because, he said,
Everybody knows the issue in
volved here pretty well, I think"
AS introduced, the measure also
would have permitted both on and
of-sale liquor stores to be open on
Sundays from / P. M. until 2 A.
M. Monday, but before the Com
mittee voted he struck out this
provision.
Although the action was by
voice vote, Dirksen, who explained
that he had introduced the bill
by request and only wanted a vote
in order to get the sentiment Of
the committee on the proposal
was the only voice heard when
the ayes were called for.
Would Injure Temperance
Virtually all other members of
the committee, both wet and dry,
explained that their opposition to
the proposal was based on the
ground that by permitting the
Sunday sale of drinks, temperance
would be injured.
It also was pointed out by Cor
poration Counsel E. Barrett Pret-
lyman that the ABC board has
expressed oppositin to the DirkSen
measure.
It was following this vote that
Representative Randolph Car
penter of Kansas, an avowed dry.
revealed that he has received
Vulnerable petitions from his con-
stituents urging enactment Of the
Guyer bill.
Several of the "wet" members
of the committee also urged that
the bill be given hearing, feeling
that the "drys" could be shown
up," but Representative Palmisano
declared:
81 want to say right now that,
as far as I'm concerned, I'll
have no hearings on that Guyer
bill. I don't think it is right to
try to do something that the
people of this country have said
they don't want"
Seeks Gaming Vote
Gambling also was injected
into the committee session today
when Representative VILLA m
Cchulte CD of Indiana sought
to have the committee vote on
the antigambling bill which Dis
trict Attorney Leslie C. Garnett
has strongly urged. Representa-
tive Palmisano, whose subcommit-
tee is in charge of the measure,
pointed out, however, that he is
against that bill and said the
committee should not act until
hearings have been held.
At the insistence of Representa-
tive Schultz and other members
of the committee, however, he
promised to hold hearings on the
proposal soon.

The Washington times., 1936-03-04

The roles assumed during this
''natural" evening by Secretary of
the Interior Ickes and Secretary
of Labor Frances Perkins would
be something else again.
Mr.. Ickes would be rather sweet
as Little Boy Blue.
I'd like awfully to hear that,
Just by chance, Miss Perkins
would play Juliet.
As FOR Mrs. Roosevelt's part in
the show-why Mrs. Roosevelt
would do nothing. Absolutely
nothing, Not even knit.

Says: :.

You have got to admit those
Japanese are darn clever, too,
Judging from the way Premier
Okada escaped death by hiding
in a safe, while his brOther-in-
law, Colonel MatSuO, was killed
impersOn n ating him. . Well,
that's about the first time any
bOdy'S ever found a good use for
the brOther-in-law who hangs
around the house.
Evidently, that Okada was one
Oriental diplomat who was not
only anxious to save ''face," but
also the rest Of his torso.
OF course, the idea Of using
army officers to take the rap for
political mistakes is not new.
BY the way, whatever happened
to General Johnson?
so REMEMBER:
In Japan, the paths Of glory
lead but to the safe.

 Food Suggestions
By MRS. MARY E. DAGUE

licious split and filled with a pi- quant filling. They are nourishing, too, and with fruit and a drink and cup cakes make substantial picnic lunch. These were served recently by United Airlines on picnic party flight over New York.
 A thermos jug of milk and Q small par of homemade chocolate syrup or can of one of the many excellent brands of prepared cocoa on the market will make 1t possible to produce 0 chocolate milk drink easily and quickly.
 simple Dessert Best
 The dessert should be simple. Ice cream always is a treat and if you have the equipment for car- rying 1t, adds the final touch of perfection. Otherwise, well mashed fruit and cup cakes or cookies are adequate and easy to pack. Pie is difficult to serve and is not desir- able for a picnic meal for children.
 If hot food Is wanted, eggs can be scrambled over 8 campfire and bacon can be frizzled, using long green sticks on which to fasten the bacon. Older children may help cook the bacon. A soup or stew made at home and carried in @ vacuum container can be relocated over Q small fire easily.
 Peanut Butter Biscuits
 Two cups flour, 3 teaspoons bak- ing powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 table spoon sugar, 8 tablespoons peanut butter, 7-8 cup milk.
 Mix and sift flour, salt, sugar and baking powder. Add peanut butter and work with 6 pastry blender, just as you would for pic crust. Out in milk to make a soft dough. Turn out on Q floured molding board and knead lightly to coat outside evenly with -four Roll about Ia inch thick and cui with c floured biscuit cutter. Pisce on q greased pan and bake in q hot oven (420 degrees F) for fifteer minutes.

Infected Adenoids Hinder Breathing And Distort Normal Facial Lines

they may be seriously infected and transmit infection to other parts Of the body,
 When the adenoidS become in- fected and swollen, they block nasal breathing, the mouth IS kept open, and the person afflicted often appears to have c stupid expression,
 After breathing continuously through the mouth, the child with infected adenoids is likely to dc. velop an unusual appearance. The upper lip is shortened and turned oM, the lips are thickened, and a line is formed between tho cheeks and the lips. This is q result Of the narrowing of the dental arch of the upper jaw.
 When there Is infection in the adenolds, the germs pass through the tubes that connect the throat to the ear and may Infect cavities of the internal and middle ear.
 Since tho nose is blocked, the speech of 6 child with adenoids has nasal sound. Children with obstruCted breathing are restless at night; they snore, gasp, and toss about.
 Furthermore, difficulty in breath- niR may interfere with development of the chest, which becomes narrow and flat,
 There is no fancy way for pre-. ventiofi and treatment of adenoids that are infected and swollen. They can be removed by e minor opera ton.
 Whenever they are enlarged, or whenever they seem to be infected, they should Dc removed. The time of the operation is determined by the symptoms. Thus, 1t may be necessary to remove the adenoids in babies under l year of age.
 Tn general, however, the opera ton should be postponed until the child has passed the age of 2 or 3 years.
 The chance of new growth of adenoid material is less after the age of 2 or 3 years than 1t is be- fore. Somewhere between 10 to lc per cent of the cases in which the Adenoids have been removed re- quired . second operation. .
 The improvement which foilowi removal of the adenoids usually ii almost miraculous. The child be- gins at once to gain weight, itl breathing is easier, its voice i'm. proves, and t is no longer irritable or restless.

 There's a shady place down by the river where there's carpet of green, Q clump of overhanging willow trees, and the ripping of the water is like @ gentle serenade.
 It's our favorite picnic place, and now and then July day comes along when the urge to pick up a lunch and go there IS simply irre- sistible.
 Children always love picnics, Adults usually like them, too, but there arc many mothers who say No" to the youngsters requests to go picnicking because they fear the aftermath will be unpleasant. It needn't be. Plan the outdoor lunch carefully, see that the chill dren do not become too tired, and your picnic will bring none but pleasant memories.
 Each Gets Package
 To begin with, it's wise to avoid too great variety of foods. Chil- dren will lose their appetites If they see an unusual array of dif- ferent things to eat. The package picinic Is ideal for small children. All the articles of food are wrapped separately in individual servings, packed iSl boxes, wrapped in heavy paper and firmly tied. When lunch time comes each child receives his own package.
 Sandwiches hold first place in picnic menus and they can be highly nourishing. Vary the breads and choose the filings with thought for their nutritive value. Chopped raw vegetables, jellies, cream cheese, cot tage cheese, dried fruits and nuts that have been put through the food chopper, minced meats and peanut butter all make suitable filings.
 Hard d-cooked eggs. plain or stuffed with finely chopped vege- tables moistened with mayonnaise, are wholesome and satisfying. They help to suprey the vitamiris often lacking in tho average picnic lunch.

GIorIting Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA 9ervlce StaR Wrlte,


 Insomnia is one of the deadli- est enemies of beauty. You simply can't look your best if, the night be- fore, you tossed about for hours before falling asleep of if the bed was 50 uncomfortable that you couldn't really rest even after you did not go to sleep.
 As for sleep-producing secrets -here are several hints that reader1 have sent to me within the past month:
 A woman in Kansas says that a glassful of grapefruit juice taken immediately before retiring, makes her sleepy.
 A New York girl solved her in. somnia troubles when she learned to cover her eyes with tiny cotton pads and to tie these in place with narrow bandage. If not Q ray oA light seeps through her lids ii1t9 her eyes, she IS able to go to slee9 quickly.
 A Washingtonian always ties < clean, dark brown silk stocking over her eyes and around hes head to shut out light.
 Several people insist that ( glass of hot milk before going t0 bed is the answer. Others say that 1t is Q mistake to eat or drink anything. From these conflicting opinions, it would appear that you have to solve your own sleeping problems by the trial and erro1 method. Try some of the trickG which have worked for others ura~ til you find one that suits you.
 First of all, make sure that youH bedroom is properly ventilated, You should have plenty of fresh air, but don't sleep directly In front of an open window. For the sake of your chinline, sleep with- out e pillow if you possibly can.
 Of course, control over your mind is the most effective cure foE insomnia. Once your head rests on the pillow, try to forget the worries of the day. You don't go to bed to solve your work-a-day difficulties. You are there to sleep. If you must think, try to couture up some really pleasant thoughts. It is better however, to fasten your gaze on some tiny, dark object in the room, then to think only about 1t until your mind Is ct rest. Close your eyes, continuing to think about the object. You'll be asleep sooner than you think.

Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Table manners simply have tt be taught early If they are to en. dure. Like all other conventions behavior, by which we judge tht culture of the individual, little les. sons of department at meals must be insrained until they are as 1la. ural as breathing.
 You can't let Johnny wolf hi diner regularly and then expect hin to take a correspondence course ir how to behave at the Joneses.
 Says mother, "Now, Johnny, VI are going to stop at the Jonsesei for lunch on our trip tomorrow. want you to sit quietly, not talk hold your fork right, be carefu not to spill your water, and breal your bread in small pieces before you eat 1t.

 And when they leave she will probably weep or paddle him ans tell him he has disgraced her for ever. Which he has, but accord ing to his lights and daily habits as innocently as puppy lappinI its milk. Johnny can't learn b. precept, not over night anyway.

 The proper use of forks for cer tain things and spoons for other are important as soon as the chil can hold them.

THE BUSINESS OF EATING IN
 HOT WEATHER

THE BUSINESS OF EATING IN
 HOT WEATHER
 Meat, aside from the fuel value or number of caIories it yields, ir1- creases metabolisnn, heat production in the body, more than any other kind of food.
 Whatl No meat in hot weatherP
 No, but if you suffer from the heat you will lind you will be less uncomfortable when you take no meat at lunch or in the middle of the day. The meat you eat at noon makes you feel uncomfortably warm about three or four o'clock in the afternoon. So if you eat at noon 1t is better to have Q salad, any kind of soup you like, some bread and butter and fruit or an ice or ice cream. Take your meat meal rather in the evening, especially if the nights are not 50 warm.
 On the other hand, if you suffer with the heat when you go to bed better delete the meat from the evening meal and take it instead at noon. The point to remember is that the specific dynamic action or
