 IF IT TASTES GOOD
 ITS GOOD!
 At the behest of the wine grow CTS from Frances Bordeaux country, Joined the connoisseurs at an epicurean banquet the other night to sample their liquid wares.
 The grapes that appease the wrath were there in quantity, un- der varied labels and in assorted vintages.
 Now amidst the bon vivants, I suffer an inferiority complex. Some can tell the vintage of 8 wine by shifting the bouquet. I can't unless the vineyard were to send me a social telegram, an- nouncing the birthday of the par ticular vintage.
 As each wine was served, the experts rubbed their noses affec- tionately against the glass. could not even distinguish the red wine from the white and super-excel- lent wine from the merely superb.
 But M. Noel, 8 wine connoisseur of renown who sat on the oppo- site side of the table, came to the rescue. Those who profes. to sniff a good wine from the bad, declares he, are protesting bunk. The only judge of fine vintage is the palate and even the most uneducated palate knows the diff ference in quality.
 Women, according to him, are better wine judges than men, for their tastes are delicate and, there fore, more critical.
 "JEETER LESTER"
 SUPPORTS BALL CLUB
 The most famous of the Jeeter Lesters in the imperishable "To- bacco Road" is back in his role after 8 long recess.
 The best . known Jeeter, of course, is James Barton, the hoof- CT who spent five. years in the Georgia crackers turnip patch before he quit temporarily,
 Barton wasn't eager to return to his tattered role in Tobacco Road" He was pretty tired of the monotonous life of stage sharecropper. For his own diver sion, he had bought himself a baseball team on Long Island and it had turned out to be an ex- pensive hobby. Although his Babylon Orioles are able roughs in the diamond, they are not at- tracting enough box office re- ceipts.
 So Barton is making up the de- ficit. The pay he takes out of Tobacco Road" he puts back in- to his costly nine.
 There isn't a chance that his source of livelihood will peter out. Tobacco Road" will be here forever.

TAMMANY MAN
PLANS APPEAL
Hines, Convicted On
Is Counts As Fixer
For Crooks, Fights

NEW YORK James J.
Hines, Tammany's most pow
erful district leader, prepared
his appeal from a jury verdict
branding him the political
fixer of a gang of criminals
today while his prosecutor was
being doomed as a candidate
for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination in 1910.
New York Republicans. who
almost elected District Attorney
Thomas f. Dewey. the 81 year old
racket-buster. governor last year,
were jubilant over his success in
convicting Hines. who. it has been
said in New York for years. was
too well wired to ever be con-
victed."
Their leaders said privately that
New York's 81 votes in the 1910
nominating convention almost GER
tainly would be pledged to Dewey.
Hines conferred with his attor-
ney, Lloyd Paul Stryker, and it
was indicated he was determined
to fight the conviction through
every court. His attitude had
changed from that of Saturday
night when the jury came in after
only seven hours with a verdict
finding him guilty on all Is counts
of conspiring and working with
the Dutch Schultz lottery mob.
He had appeared a beaten old
man then, holding back his tears
by supreme effort. Today, despite
his So years, he was pugnacious, in
keeping with his character as the
two-fisted, ex-blacksmith political
boss of a very poor and tough
district.
Free on $4,000 bail pending his
sentencing on March 13-he could
get as much as 81 years in Sing
Sing - Hines and his attorney
seemed confident of a new trial.

The series of labor board rulings

Proposes Bond
Issue For Relief

cay Tacoma Times staff Writer)
CAPITOL. Olympia - Recalling
the narrowing days of six years
ago. when the state faced a major
relief crisis. the chairman of Pierce
county's delegation in the house Of
representatives today proposed
that Washington bond itself to
the extent OF $4,000. 900 to meet
costs Of social security during the
next two years.
Rep. Gerald C. Dixon. Tacoma,
introduced q bill which would au-
thorize the state finance commit
tee to sell general obligation bonds
of 1899" in order to carry out pur-
poses and provisions of Chapters
l56 and $50 of the Laws of 1881
ito relieve the people Of the state
from hardships and suffering
caused from inability of the state
to pay old age pensions and as
s.stance."
Il think such drastic move is
necessary" Dixon said. This
legislature obviously is failing in
its duty toward adequate financing
Of the sort Of social security pro-
gram we ought to nave. and which
most of W members promised to
pass"
Dixon's bin proposes that the
bonds. plus interest. would be re-
tired and paid through appropria-
ton each month of four-tenths of
one cent of the tax paid on each
gallon Of gasoline. Should this in
any year be insufficient. the bill
directs that q property tax be
levied to cover the deficiency.
Administration and majority
leaders were inclined to scott at
Dixon's plan. and he himself had
little hope that . vote on it ever
would be permitted.
