Fights Liquor
Near School

Milton S. Kronheim, wholesale
liquor dealer, asked the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board in a let
ter today to re-establish its ban
on all liquor sales within 400 feet
Of schools and to limit on-sale
licenses for beer and light wines
and for hard liquor to 300 each.
There are now $50 licenses, the
board said, for sale Of "hard"
liquor and 395 licenses for beer
and wine in eating establishments.
Kronheim told the board he
was prompted to write this letter
only because of my sincere appre-
citation Of what the board has done
to improve standards here"
At the same time, Kronheim
asserted, publicity attending ap-
plications for licenses in the i'm.
mediate vicinity of schools, even
when they are denied, "tends to
create the impression that the
liquor interests are trying to get
near the schools with the plain
implication that they want chill.
dren to drink. Such an implication
is totally unfounded, certainly in
Sofar as respectable liquor dealers
are concerned"

72-Hour Wait Required

Fairfax county today closed its

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 27.-Earl
Carroll gave a party last night
and Hollywood is still quaking
with galloping jitters.
For $1,000 a seat, Hollywood'S s
elite gathered in Carroll'S new
cabaret anticipating a perform
ance the like of which the world
had never Seen-and they were
not disappointed.
THRILLS, NO END!
The show was so super super
that even the stagehands were
flustered. AS a result the disap-
pearing stage disappeared with
pretty Susan Miller just as she
reached the middle of her song.
She kept on singing, however, and
popped back into view for the
final Stanza.
When the most beautiful girls
in the world appeared the two
revolving stages began revolving
so fast that the lovelies grabbed
the floor and held on for dear
life. Engineers threw a lot of
switches and the stages stopped
whirling but the curtains began
shooting back and forth.
NEVER A DULL MOMENT
The show stopped at 2 p. m.
after 80 super acts. Guests vowed
there had not been a dull mo-
ment all evening.
The $1,000 tickets entitled the
couple of hundred movie folks
who bought them to come back
to Carroll's club without paying
a cover charge any time they
want to.

ATOM SECRETS
PROBED HERE

Several hundred scientists today
are seeing stars at the National
of Standards and trying to figure
why they behave as they do.
With distinguished professors
from the country's leading uni
verSities participating in the dis
cussions of atoms and their be-
havior, as guests of the American
Physical Society, many revelations
concerning the action of stars
were explained today at several
meetings held in the bureaus
buildings.
ROSS GUM SPEAKS
Among those addressing the
group today was Ross Gum, of
the Naval Research Laboratory,
Washington, who explained that
the average star which flares UP
brilliant for a short while and
then fades out radiates about 25,-
600 times as much heat and light
as the sun. =
Delving into the mystery of the
atom, which was at one time con-
sidered the smallest particle of
any substance. the scientists dis
cuSSed and studied lantern slides
of such components of the atom
as protons and electrons.
Another interesting accomplish
ment of recent date, the separa-
tlon of bases by centrifugation
was explained by ]. w. Beams,
of the University of Virginia.
GERMS SEPARATED
The same instrument, Mr..
Beams pointed out, is constructed
to withstand such terrific speed
being capable of as many as
1,100 revolutions per second
that it also can be used to Separ-
ate germs. Such a device, it was
pointed out, has been sought by
scientists for some time and was
only accomplished finally with the
use of chrome-molybdenum steel,
one of the only known metals
capable of withStanding such
speed.
Today's sessions opened with
three meetings being held stimuli
taneously. Other sessions are
scheduled for tomorrow, Thurs
day and Friday.

Mrs. Sally Anthony, 38, of thf
800 block of Fourth st. N. E., was
killed last night when the car ir
which she was riding with Lester
Cox, 35, of OXon Hill, Md, col
lided with another machine in a
binding rainStorm near Fort Bel
Voir, Va.
Cox was in critical condition at
Fort Belvoir Hospital today, as
were George and William Keating
of Philadelphia, occupants OF the
other car. George Keating was
transferred to Alexandria Hospital
today. He is still unconscious.
The long holiday took a national
toll of over 400 lives, about 100
less than year ago. Texas led
the nation with 81 traffic fatal,
ties. Pennsylvania, with 26 and
New York with 25, including six
in New York city, came next.

ter. and dashed from behind a

his home.

ness, look out! We men are
suspicious of every male, just
as animals are. We can't help
it. We think what we desire is
desirable in the eyes Of all
males. Most likely that is true
to a certain extent. That is
another man trait.
When a man loves girl we
perk up and think there must
be something pretty nice about
her and then-well we try to be
honorable, but there is an imp
IN us that makes us want to
make the other fellow squirm.
Form
OF Insanity
When jealousy is bllndiJ i'm
reasonable it is a form Of IN
sanity. Uncontrolled it becomes
dangerous. Girls merely make
matters worse by catering to
such jealousy. It is Unsuitable
and grows worse even with the
most circumspect behavior on
the part of the girl. The only
way she can deal with that kind
of jealousy is to get rid Of the
man. Then she will be surprised
and annoyed to find him calm
ly going out with another girl.
Tell the man frankly you re-
fuse to put UP with his pettiness
and if he wishes to break the
engagement to go ahead. Then
dance with others, if you wish,
talk to men and enjoy it and
refuse to be tied down with silly,
despotic rules. If you obeyed, it
wouldn't help in your case.
When he is moody, demand he
take you home instead of hui
initiating you before your
friends. If he won't go home,
walk out on him. Staying at the
party and giving your friends
an eyeful of the quarrel is bad
taste on your part.

WindOW Shades
Are COlOrful

Gone are the days when we
used to select our window shades
in conservative, neutral colors
simply because they went with
everything" Now we go in for
sparkling, highly styled colors
such as sunrose, larkspur blue
and springfield green.
Women are getting so thai
they cock a. speculative eye at
their windows, pick up the high
light color of the draperies and
curtains, and then go to work
on a good job of window ensem-
bling. For winter, they have
been buying sunrose because it
seems 20 bring the sunshine in
doors even on gray days. For
summer they have been choos-
ing blue and the muted green
tone shades because these cool
the rooms and keep them COM
Portable.
From these initial steps
women have leaped into the
idea Of having double window
shades. One tone is used for
the inside to harmonic with the
room-another, usually white.
for the outside.

like a goddess. Primarily she
had been selected to give aid and
comfort to the rich homely
women with plenty to spend.
When such a woman sees mod
els on q mannequin made up
like a playing card with tinted
face, shaved hoop eyebrows, ger
anium mouth laid on like a
cupid's bow, she's apt to say:
Those things look well on that
girl, because she's pretty-but
how about me?"
So the unbeautiful model was
selected, and as one buyer said:
"She's worth her weight in
gold" This girl knows how to
walk. She doesn't lurch or
SLOUGH as if she were lodging
one more brickbat at the hands
of fate. She doesn't shuttle
along as if she were wearing
carpet slippers.

Who is the authority for this
smashing of old standards, this
uprooting and throwing down
of the thing we have worshipped
from the beginning? Chanel,
the supreme dictator Of Paris
fashions, who makes a million

is one. She has gone on record
as saying: "A good figure is
more important to a woman
