w recorded in American his
tory might well be called The
Epoch of Prohibition For it
is characteristic of them that
we have sought TO prosper and
progress by not doing things in
stead of doing them.
A well-organized minority in
the United States decided at the
close of ttlhe last ttt5atfA-tU keep
Americans sober by forhidding
them TO drink any beverages
containing more than 3 per
cent of alcohol.
We were to achieve tenn
perance by a most incorporate
measure. We were 10 keep
Americans virtuouS by treating
them as though they were not
adult.
Obviously, there had been
great abuses in the liquor traffic,
and the saloon was tied up with
politics in a most unSaVory way.
To have regulated traffic in
liquor. and enforced restrictions
upon il, would have been reason
able but difficult. So we Just
appropriated the business and
outlawed spirits. wines, beer
except the near variety of which
II was said, Anybody who calls
this near-beer has no sense of
distance 43----
The result was not temperance.
but the most drunken age
America has even known. In
stead Of whisky we got rotgut.
and instead of divorcing politics
from the liquor business, we got
rampant gangsteriSm and a cor
ruptlon unique in American life.

tempt 10 deal with a problem by
prohibiting the problem has not
been confined to the matter of
alcoholic beverages. We have
had an age of prohibition in re-
gard 10 peace and world affairs.
At about the same time that
we prohibited Americans from
drinking SauTeTnc, Scotch and
rye we also prohibited them
from using their economic and
political power TO establish a
lasting peace in the world.
The argument that kept us
out of the World Court and the
League of Nations was that Eu-
rope was full Of nasty nations
with ancient hatredS, that they
were always making war, and
that they were so slick that no
American could stand in their
company without losing his
shirt.
The isolationist argument is a
typical prohibition argument. 1t
is the dO-nothing argument, the
argument of safety by denial.
Under the theory that we were
unable to cope with world prob
lens. We decided 10 avoid them.
The result, in tho second
place. was as disastrous as in
the first. We have another world

slump after the last war. So,
under series Of Republican adj
mlnlStratlOns, we undertook
huge spending and investment
program, of private money,

only IN this country, but all
over the world.
Under the Roosevelt admins
tratlon we continued this pro-
gram, but pumped public money
INTO consuming power in this
country. There was a problem
OF overproduction. But instead
of really looking for new mar
kets abroad, and finding ways
IN which these new markets
could be developed TO the adj
vantage of other nations and
not TO their ruin, we prohibited
production by ploughing under.

stopped producing.
TliE result of the spending pol

miniStrations was TO encourage
wholesale borrowing from al

nations, make the liquidation of
the war debts increasingly inn
possible, and eventually help TO
plunge Europe into that financial
panic and unemployment out of
which we got Hitler.
The result of the policies Of
the first, second and third New
Deals was to break down work
ing morale, and leave us, in
critical moment, short of actual
materials and skilled workers.

? MeKENNEY oN BRIDGE

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
 America's Card Authority

I have awarded Q great many trophies for victories ct bridge, but I believe one of the most pleasant tasks I had to perform was at Coral Gables, Fla, this year when I was able to present the original secre- tary of the American Bridge League the trophy for his victory in the mixed pair championship.
 E. J. (Ned) Tobin was secretary in 1927 and 1929; I took over the task in 1880. Ned is well up in his seventies and has been winning championships for many years. It was most gratifying to see him win this important title this year.
 His partner, Mrs. J. IT. Meyer. ing, of Tt. Lauderdale, and he played excellent bridge to win the title. Tobin's experience offset any advantage the youngsters might have had in quick thinking. Here Is an example of his fine defensive play.
 The king Of hearts won the jack. South led the queen of diamonds, which rode to E,ast's king. East led Q heart and Tobin correctly let South win. South then cashed the jack and ten of diamonds, East discarding the deuce of spades.
 The next play was low club to the jack, won by East's queen. East led the third heart and Tobin was in with the ace.

Glorifing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
(NEA Service Staff Writer

You can bet ten to one that the young man who thinks about women's clothes even occasionally these days shudders at the mere idea of girls he knows getting over- enthusiastic about the military note in fashion.
 He may be amused by pictures of pretty young things in suits pat termed after army uniforms, but he'd hate to see his own girl in a uniform -like suit. A severely tai- lored dress and trench cap, flat heeled shoes and knapsack bag slung over the shoulder is another get-up entirely too masculine to please him.
 He likes tailored clothes on women, but he doesn't likc inannish ones.
 Furthermore, it's . mistake for any girl to get a notion that the trend toward shorter hair indicates Q revival of the graceless shingled bobs of fifteen or twenty years ago. The shingled line was seldom pretty.
 This is time for women to be as pretty as possible. What hus- band or best beau wants to come home on furlough to be greeted by 8 woman in clothes much like his own? Times are grim enough with out women going in for uninterest- ing clothes or drab makeup.
 BE EFFICIENT
 BUT DON'T LOOK IT
 All of which sounds pretty frivol- ous. But women are expected to do their part toward Keeping up the morale of the country in times like these. And 1t certainly won't bol. ster morale for all of Us to get into unfeminine uniform Like clothes or shingie our hair or decide that we ought to look as determined and serious as we feel.
 The top-ranlxing career women in the country know the trick of being efficient without looking it. You don't catch them doing without makeup or wearing masculine clothes in ofder to appear capable.
 They to to their o1fices looking as pretty as possible, and still man. age to do their jobs well. The women of America can do whatever jobs they'll be expected to do with out losing their feminity, or turn- ing up their noses at the fripperies that help to make them easier on the eyes.

unattractive generally, and an out and"out failure.
 If she was "dIyorcee" she was also a faiIurc-but of 6 more in- teresting variety. It was expected that her clothes would be extreme and that no husband would be safe around her.
 If the word used to describe her was widow" she was failure, too, but through no fault of her own. She was someone to be pitied, some- one whgoe life was hard, but who was bravely carrying or.
 The only woman who wasn't 6 failure was the woman with a hus- band in sound health who was able to support her and who was known --or at least thought-to be "a good husband"
 Well, women themselves have changed that. Even the terms "old maid" "divorcee" are rarely used. They've changed the situation by making good lives for themselves alone, by refusing to feel that they were failures if they didn't have husbands, by progressing in their word, spending their money on themselves, turning themselves into smart-iooking women, travelling, and having a godo time.
 They did 1t by laughing at the old idea that there is no sense in hav- ing Q nice place to live or spending time on meals unless there is man around to cook for.
 By their own brains and common sense they forced the world to re- gard them just as wOmen-1iOt as "oid maids" "widows," or "di- voFcees."
 It's about the biggest progress wc-

PATTERN 37O SLIM BROCK SHOWS NOVEL HIP.YOKE

Of course you can indulge in all the latest, gTnaFtest fashion trends .-eVen though your figure is on the heavy sidel For Pattern 370 by Claire Tilden proves that an attrac- tive appearance depends merely upuon the proper lines and propor- tions; that you need sacrifice noth- ing in style for size. The popular new Ionger-waisted look is beauti- fully handled by hip-yoke that goes straight across in back but forms two graceful and very slen- derizing curves in front. Their shape is repeated in the yokes at the shoulders that curve Up to form a cojIar-like band at the back neck. Notice how the goftnegS of the bodice is gathered-in below the yokes and darted smoothly above the ist2geaming. A casual, carc- free look is given by the cool, siTll- pie V-neckline which curves right into front buttoning to the waist. The skirt of this frock hangs in slim yet easy lines, with ample ftill- ness for walking and sitting free- dom. Though just shcrt sleeves are shown, long and three-quarter styles are included in this stunning pattern for smart, youthful ma irons.
 Pattern 37O is cut in women's sizes 34, 90, 3e, %, A, A, 4G and 4s. Size 3e requires 3 3-8 yards 30 inch fabrics
