we are no longer an assemblage of in

deliberately to extend this indiscre-

indeed, to two omissions which they

Raleigh, Dec 24.-The advocates of
liquor control legislation are plan
ming to make speed their motto when
the regular session of the General AS
sembly convenes January 5, and to try
to rush their proposed legislation to
enactment within the first few weeks
of the session before the dry leaders
can start beating their tom toms and
getting their fires built under their
representatives back home" accord
ing to reports heard here the past
few days. AS a result, it is already
being predicted that the fight over Ii
quor legislation will be over within
the first 80 days of the session, if
not sooner-and that some sort of
liquor control law that will permit
those counties which want liquor
stores to have them, will be enacted
by the first week in February.
Three Dry Members Report.
The liquor control forces maintain
that they have already won a great
moral victory in view of the fact that
three of the busiest bone drys in the
State, who were members of the liquor
control fact-finding commission, sign
ed the report Of the commission .ad-
hitting conditions are bad in the 81
supposedly dry counties, admitting
prohibition has broken down and is
all but uncomfortable, and recommend
ing State liquor control system I'M
der which liquor would be sold in
county-operated but State-supervised
LIQUOR stores. These three members, of
course, brought in a minority report,
asking that the proposed liquor con-
troll law be approved in Statewide
election before becoming effective, in
stead of its mere enactment by the
General Assembly. But the fact that
Judge L. r. Varser, John M. Robin
son and Charles A. Hines even agreed
to sign the report of the commission
and the bill, is regarded as an indica-
ton that even some of the dryest of
the drys are losing faith in prohibi-
ton and gradually coming around to
the control plan as being more likely
to reduce drinking and bootlegging.
Burgess Loses Two Aces.
Another reason the liquor control
forces are confident they will be able
to secure prompt action on the liquor
control question, is the conviction that
Gale K. Burgess, vice-president and
chief Legislative strategist," or lob
byist, for the United Dry Forces, will
not be able to work the same strate-
gy he did two years ago. During the

MAL0S HELD IN
BANK HAULS

CHICAGO, Nov. 5 G.N.S).
Dapper Nick Malos, So, will be ar
raigned today before United
States Commissioner Edwin K.
Walker in connection with the
theft of $2,046,OOO in Treasury

Malos was arrested here yester-
day by Department of Justice
agents as he lounged in front of a
Greek gambling house.
D. M. Ladd, agent in charge Of
the local office of the Department
of Justice, said Malos is one Of the
gang Of international thieves re
sponsible for the daring theft far
which Is persons had previously
been arrested. The securities
were snatched from bank mes
sengers in January, 1885. in the
heart of New York's financial dis
trict.
Much Sought
Agents of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation are not the only
ones who have been hunting Nick
high and low in connection with
thefts from the United States
Trust Company and Bank Of Man
haitian Of New York.
Nick's companions in q "Greek
combine" J. Edgar Hoover said,
also wanted to interview Nick
concerning $4,000 he allegedly
failed to turn in to the mob
after disposing of the stolen Sc
curities.
On December 10, 1894, $500, 900
Of Treasury notes were taken from
the trust company, and on jan
uary %, 1885, similar securities
totaling $1,456,000 were taken
from the bank. In both instances
the packets of bonds were snatch
ed from counters in brokerage
offices under the eyes of employees,
and without any display Of
weapons.
Gang Scattered
The gGng which disposed Of
the bonds scattered throughout
the United States and Europe,
with agreements that proceeds
from sales of the hot" securities
would be split.
Malos, according to the G-men
refused to hand back to his COM
panions what they felt was their
due, and has been, for several
months, in danger Of his life.
More than 10 persons have been
arrested and more than one mil,
lion dollars of the bonds recov
cred.
Three $500 600 bonds were found
in Paris, and one for 500, 900 was

U.N.S0.-Democrats, cheering to-

majority for President Roosevelt
in Minnesota, may soon face dis
solution of their party.
This doomed today as political
observers analysed the vote which

amazing victory at Tuesdays

AS returns trickling in from out
lying precincts continued to main
tain President Roosevelt'S 2-to-l

Democratic candidates, almost
without exception, were running
in third place among the three
major parties in the State.
In many instances Democratic
candidates for Congress and for

8 to IL per cent Of the vote, while
Farmer-Laborites we're far in the
lead with from so to IS per cent.

Topeka today was again only the
capital of a typical prairie State!
Gone with the wind of the New
Deal were political camp follow
ers, newsreel cameramen, the "ex-
pertS," radio sound men, $4,000-a-
day campaign trains, the placards
and the ballyhoo.
Left here in the calm after the
storm was the unglamored con-
fetti, the political debris Of a
presidential campaign.
The Kansas capital reacted to
mixed emotions of happiness and
despair. The Democrats were jubi.
liant in having brought Kansas
into camp so thoroughly as to
have captured even the governor,
ship. But Republican employees
throughout the State and those
working in the offices of Republi-

 I don't believe we begin early enough in life to teach children something about lending for self, either mentally, morally or physica- ly. We are too prone to hand them pre-. .digested food and expect them to out moiars on it.
 One small episode to stop with. A mother recently had to Do away for lunch. Jimmy had to get his own.

 Even Q beautiful and perfectly groomed girl loses Q good deal of her charm and appeal when she mispronounces everyday words or enunciates 50 poorly that ono simply can't understand half she says. 1n- stead of creating the fine impress sion her beauty and neatness merit, not only succeeds In suggesting to others that she obviously isn't as fastidiouS about her mental habits as about her physical appearance.
 Ono excellent cure for slipshod speech Is . closer relationship with tho dictionary. Instead of stum- bling over words which you know you'll want to use frequently ell of your life, find out exaetlyl how they should be pronounced, then practice until you have forgotten the old, incorrect way.
 Don't slur words together, leaving out entire syllables. If you say "dija" for did you" "so'm.r" for "so am I" and "I-dunno" instead of T don't know" you have no right to he surprised when your nicely tailored clothes and expert makeup fall to create 6 ono hundred per cent favorable impression on 0 new- ly met acquaintance. Careless speech, like extremely bad posture, takes away tho allure of your eyes and tho char moi your smile
 Build your beauty on Q ilrmer foundation than mere cosmetics. T.:ese are necessary, of course, but finish rather than start with them, Place your quest for glamor on Q bedrock foundation of health, then build with quality materials like ex- cellent posture, good diction, Q pleas. ant voice, charm and Q sense Of humor.
 Work this way and your tower cannot and will not topple over the minute youth starts to mellow Into maturity. darnish this kind of beauty sens!bly with good and meticulously-applied cosmetics and, regardless of 6 bad feature, or even two or three, people will think of you aS lovely.

 1t is not definitely established In my mind, wether marriages result ing from c Leap Year proposal on tho part of the woman, prove 90 successful as the customary wed- dlngs of mans instlgaticn.
 Due to some inherent cause, a woman is reluctant to admit having proposed to her husband. We prefer the compliment of having been eagerly sought after, and finally won. Men will never see romance in any other way.
 Yet the same type of man who resents 6 girl taking the initiatave in the love situation, does not hesi- tate after marriage, to assume the role of weakling, when 1t comes to performing the lAborious tasks in the home.
 1t will always be c source of won. der to me, why girls of refinement and cultural background, or any girl for that matter, seem anxious and willing to do those ugly chores in the average household, and per- nit the husband to sit idly by, or chum around with his pals, while she works overtime on jobs, meant for men only.
