TO TAKE HIS SEAT.
Smathers to Quit State Post
to Enter Fight for
Court Plan.
BY the Associated Press.

BY LDe ASSOCldtcu
TRENTON, N. j., February 25.-
State Senator william H. Smathers,
a "holdout" from the United States
Senate, because the Democratic party
found it expedient to keep him here,
is ready to surrender his $500 State
legislative post for the $4,000 Job in
Washington.
He said today he would close "in
about a week" his desk in the State
House, where he has been besieged BY
lobbyists for State and national
causes.
I'm going to be in Washington
when the fight starts on the Supreme
Court" the former Southerner drawled.
Smathers, Democrat who defeated
Warren Barbour, Republican. last No
vember, called President Roosevelts
plan to reorganize the Federal
judiciary "a step in the interest OF
progress"
Its a fine thing" the Atlantic
City attorney said. Ito bring younger
men in to absorb the experience Of the
older ones and at the same time have
the older judges absorb a youthful
outlook from new blood"
Smathers, As, former county
Judge, planned to stay in the Legisla-
ture until he had a chance to vote
for a measure to permit pari-mutuel
horse race betting. His own resolu-
ton, however, was committed to a
committee referred to as the nlorgue"
and q similar resolution adopted by
the assembly last night went to the
same Senate committee.
Smathers remained in the State
Senate because his presence gave the
Democrats 10 votes in the 21-member
Senate. A court battle is being fought
over the controlling Republican vote.

TREAT COLD
AS If YOU Mean 1T!
Don't Fool Around with Halfway Measures and
Lnuite Serious Complications!

One Of the worst things you can
do is kid around with cold.
The so.called common cold"
causes more serious sickness and
more enforced absence from work
than anything else.
It's a mistake to treat a cold
lightly. A cold calls for a cold
treatment and not a "cure-alp". A
cold calls for internal treatment.
for a cold is an internal infection.
One of the best things you can
take for a cold is Groves Laxa-
tive Bromo Quinine. Your own
doctor will tell you that.
First Of all, Bromo Quinine is a
cold tablet, made expressly for
the treatment Of colds.
Secondly it is internal medica'
ton and Of fourfold effect.
Here's what it does:
First, 1t opens the bowels, an
advisable step in treating . cold.
Second, 1t checks the infection In
the system.
Evening star., 1937-02-25

Third, it relieves the headache
and fever.
Fourth, it tones the system and
helps fortify against further attack.
Bromo Quinine tablets now come
sugar-coated as well as plain. The
sugar-coated are exactly the same
as the regular, except that the
tablets are coated with sugar for
palatability.
Play safe in your treatment Of q
cold! The moment you feel the
first symptom, 60 right to your
druggist for q package Of Groves
Laxative Bromo Quinine.
Start taking the tablets immedi.
ately. two every four hours. That
action will usually break up q cold
in "A hours.
Bromo Quinine contains nothing
harmful and is safe to take. Ask
the druggist for Groves Laxative
Bromo Quinine and insist upon get.
ting what you ask for!
The few pennies cost may save
you q lot IN medical bills. !.

NEW HOUSING BILL
MAPPED FOR ARMY
$3.50, 900, 600 to Be Sought
for Construction at 35
Military Posts.

The Army will ask Congress not to
forget the officers and enlisted men
in the Nations 35 military posts and
reservations when 1t gets around to
voting money for new housing.
A bill authorizing a staggered hous-
ing program for military posts, total
ing $l50,000, ,000-the largest author
iZation of the kind since the World
Wars being drafted by the War De-
partment for introduction. probably
next week.
Indications were the bill would be
sympathetically received by the House
Military Affairs Committee, Of which
Representative Hill, Democrat, of Ala
bama, is chairman. Hill, who made
an 8,000-mile inspection tour of the
country's military posts last Summer,
predicted the bill would be speedily
acted on by the committee.
Says Conditions DepIorable.
Conditions are deplorable," Hill
said, I'VE must do something immedi-
stely Adequate housing and other
facilities are just as important to the
Army's morale as pay and promotion :"
The Army's program, it is UNDER
stood, contemplates a staggered con-
struction program which would ex-
tend over a period OF years. The aim
would be to begin with posts where
housing facilities are least adequate
and continue until all the posts have
proper quarters. Army posts in Ha-
waii and Panama would benefit, as
well as those in this country.
The construction probably would
be carried out by the Public Works
Administration and would afford en-
ployment to thousands.
Believes Morale at Stake.
Representative Hill said he thought
n important that the Army's morale
should not suffer from disgruntlement
over Army post quarters. particularly
in this time OF acute international
crisis" The Army. he noted. has
been enlarged since the World War
from 100000 to 10000 men, but liv-
ing quarters had not been correspond.
ingly expanded.
The result is" he added. that
thousands are being housed in quar-.
ters built as temporary structures dur
ing the war. These buildings are fall
ing into disrepair. Congress at its last
session revised the promotion act as
an encouragement to men In the Army
to work for Advancement That leaves
only housing and pay revision as the
fields in which Congress can act to
improve morale. II we can get the
housing taken care Of at this session
We can concentrate on pay revision as
soon as the unemployment problem
abates somewhat"
