Montgomery Beer Dealers
Appeal to Members of
State Assembly.
By a Stan Correspondent of The Star

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
ANNAPOLIS. March 4.-Claiming
county residents now entertain more
liberal theories" regarding the sale of
alcoholic beverages. the Montgomery
County Beer Dealers Association ap-
peared before Montgomery members of
the State Assembly yesterday after
noon and urged speedy enactment of
its flve-point legislative program.
Capt. Joseph c. Cissel. the associa-
ton counsel and spokesman, declared
the present system of control in the
county was passed at the 1888 special
session primarily as an experiment, ="
and regulations more stringent than
those for other sections of Maryland
were adopted because Montgomery had
been dry for many years.
Opposed by Federation.
The program presented by Cissel was
evolved by the association several
months ago and has drawn the fire Of
the Montgomery County Civic Fedora
ton which voted to oppose any lib
eralization" of county liquor laws.
Members of the delegation and Sen
ator Stedman Prescott received it with
out comment, and said it would be con-
sidered within the next few days.
1t follows:
l. Elimination of the county tax
paid by Montgomery County dealers
on beer sold by them and extension of
permission for them to purchase beer
from any wholesaler or distributor.
2. Legalization of the sale of all al
coholic beverages by any licensed deal
ers under control system similar to
that of other sections of the State
with all beverages-except beer-to be
purchased from the Liquor Control
Board for Montgomery County.
3. Extension of the county's mid
night closing hour until am. to con-
form to the closing hour Of beer par
lors and other places where alcoholic
beverages are sold in Prince Georges
Coutny and the District Of Columbia
4. Change the definition of light
wine. from IA per cent to 81 per cent to
conform to new Federal regulations.
S. Prevention of the opening of any
bottled or packaged liquors except
beer and wine for consumption on the
licensed premises, whether purchased
therein or elsewhere. This would ap-
ply to 'off sale" liquor stores.
Cite Benefit to County.
Cissell and association officials who
appeared with him distributed among
the legislators a statement declaring
legalization of liquor sales by any
licensed establishment would result in
q substantial increase in liquor profits
which the county uses for general pur-
poses.
It points out retail stores would be
greater convenience" to purchasers
and their availability unquestionably
would bring about a larger consump-
ton than is possible under the present
system which restricts whisky sales to
county-operated dispensaries at Silver
Spring, Bethesda, Rockville, the coun-
try clubs and one inn.

CAYNOR, TAYLOR O. STARRED BY FANS REQUEST
Gripping Spy Picture Has World Wide Group
 Interpreting It


 More than a half-million fans have suggested that Taylcr appear opposite Miss Gaynor since he made his first great success in Society Doctor not quite a year ago.
 And that's why Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer teamed Janet Gaynor and Robert Taylor in the romantic leads of Small Town Girl, which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre.
 Small Town Girl' presents Miss Gaynor as a New England girl who rebels at the humdrum existence cf life in a little town and impetu- ously elopes with Taylor, a sophis- ticated young city doctor. The elope- ment precipitates a social and do- mestic crisis, since Taylor is en- gagged to Boston society girl, and Miss Gaynor finds herself ostra~ cized by her husbands smart friends. The story concerns her determined fight to overcome this obstacle ana to win the cooling love of her bride i groom.
 Produced by Hunt Strombers and directed by William Wellman, from a screen play by John Les Mahin and Edith Fitzgerald. thf picture boasts and excellent support ing cast headed by Binnie Barnes and including Lewis Stone, Andy Deyine, Elizabeth Patterson, Frank 1 Craven, James Stewart and a score of others.
 At Coliseum
 "The House of a Thousand Can-- dies" which comes to the Coliseum Theatre on Sunday for a two-dsa run, carries its audiences rapidly from the offices of the British intel ligence service on a hazardous and radventurous secret errand with Phillips Holmes and Miss Clarke, the English spies.
 ] It speeds one through the night eluding pursuers in France, and meeting difficulties at the hands of others on board a French ex- press. It takes one into the House Of Q Thousand Candles" where the glamour of a cosmopolitan crowd on the dance floor. about the din ing and roulette tables, suggests pleasure resort of the international elite.
 Then it reyals lrvlng Pichel, the master spy, as operator of this blind" from which he nightly broadcasts code instructions, which to the public are apparently but in nocent advertisements for his resort. Jack Haley IS a country boy with Q yen to be a government operative, but not quite the stuff to make the grade, in "F Man." new comedy which opens tonight at the Colise- inn Theatre. That's the explanation for the title-in this amusing farce an "F Man is someone not quite good enough to be a e man."
 Humor and romance develop around Haley's attempt to run down Public Eenemy No. 1 and become Public Hero No himself. William Frawley cooperates with Haley on the humor, and Grace Bradley and Adrienne Warden on the romance. Onslow Stevens is the menace.
 Edward F Cline directed the pie ture, which is released by Para mount.

PROBE IS PRESSED
IN ROBINSON CASE
State Department Makes Further
Inquiry Into Identity
of the Rubens.

State Department Investigators were
making further inquiries in New York
today into the identities of Mr.. and
Mrs. Adolph Arnold Rubens, linked by
a singular set of condolences with the
mysterious "Mr. and Mrs. Donald L.
Robinson" now believed under arrest
in Moscow on suspicion of espionage
activities.
The first coincidence, it was re-
vealed by the department, was the fact
that Mr.. Rubens received q passport
on April 3, 1896, through the Office of
Albert Marinelli, former New York
County clerk. Issuance of passports
through Mr.. Marinellis own ofIice was
admitted to be somewhat unusual, but
it was on this same date that the
Robinsons received their visas through,
this ofIice. Mrs. Rubens, it was found
received her passport through other
channels.
Second coincidence was the fact that
Mr.. and Mrs. Rubens booked passage
on the Italian liner Rex on October
is, the same date and ship as that on
which reservations were made for the
Robinsons. But, while the Rubens
used their passage on that date, nc
record exists that the Robinsons did

lived, more intelligent and more emo
tionally stable human type could be
developed. But the difficulties in the
way Of such q eugenical program are
enormous where the human stock is so
mixed, as it IS in almost all races of
men, and where the rules of good
breeding would have to be self-admin-
istered, or imposed oy authorities in
f1uenced by social, racial and ethical
prejudices. Even If these obstacles
could be overcome it would take thou
sands OF years to bring about any
marked improvement in the masses If
mankind.
Fortunately there are more rapidly
acting remedies. Heredity determines
only the potentialities and capacities
OF an organism. In every individual
there are many capacities which re-
main undeveloped because Of lack of
suitable stimuli to call them forth.
These may be social or anti-social,
good or bad In the heredity Of every
human being there are many possible
personalities. Each of us might have
been much better or much worse"

objective of both is the cultivation of
higher ethical standards, even if their
reasons for this objective are different.
