CHARGES SMITH ‘KIDDING’ PARTY ON LIQUOR HOPE No Benefit to Wets From Electing Al, Asserts Grain Trader. By United Prcxx CHICAGO, Oct. I.—James A. Patten, generally regarded as the world’s greatest trader in grain declare dtoday that Governor Alfred E. Smith is “kidding his nearest friends” in his stand on prohibition and the Volstead Act. Patten declared in effect that tne election of Governor Smi‘* “vjM in no wise aid : the man who sincerely is opposed to prohibition, nor would his proposals, as outlined in his campaign speech at Milwaukee Saturday be of any benefit to the individual who looks for a return of the ligitimate sale of alcoholic beverages. No Hope in Proposals { In a lengthy statement Patten emphasized that to those who are opposed in principle to the Eighteenth amendment and who regard it as destiuctive to the proper relation between the Federal Government and the citizen, there is no hope for relief in Governor Smith’s proposals. “Os course, there are those who get emotional satisfaction out of any wet promise,” the statement continued. “The intelligent opponent,” Patten declared, “searches for a suggestion that the Eighteenth amendment be repealed. He wonders why Smith does not urge repeal. He has read Governor Smith’s inductmen tot the abuses and evils caused by the amendment. If this indictment be true, why not repeal the amendment But this Governor ■Smith does not even suggest. One is forced to conclude then that Governor Smith recognizes the futility of such a course. In reviewing the recommendations made by Governor Smith, Patten said: “He proposes ‘an amendment to the Eighteenth amendment which will give to each individual State itself, only after approval by a referendum popular vote of its people, the right, wholly within its borders to import, manufacture, and sell alcoholic beverages, the sale to be made by the State itself and not for consumption in any public place. System Proved Failure “But the inquiring man then says: Suppose this Smith suggestion were adopted? What would be the result? 1 “Each individual State that so desires is to be set up in the liquor business. The Canadian system is held up as our standard. Yet in the country where it is used that system is condemned as productive of graft and corruption. The wet who knows the history of his own country recalls a still more striking standard of comparison. He remembers the South Carolina experiment. He recalls how that State after only a few years’ trial abandoned the scheme.” SERVICES CONTINUE Hold Evangelistic Meetings at Mcadlawn. The Rev. William A.

BEAUTY AT ITS BEST MADONNA TYPE OF BRUNETTE BEAUTY SHOULD WEAR RED

Marjorie Mulhall, Johnston’s “Madonna type” of brunet.

This Is the third of a series of articles written for The Times and NEA Service by Alfred Cheney Johnston, one of the foremost artists among American photographers. Each day he discusses a type of feminine beauty, explains how It best can be enhanced by makeup and collfure. tells which color schemes and styles of gowns he considers most effective. BY ALFRED CIfENEY JOHNSTON IN the preceding articles I discussed the Gainsborough blonde and the Greuze brunet. The one I am about to discuss is ageless. She has beautifully defined features, an expression soft as a dove’s and

a figure that is supremely graceful. I call her the "Madonna” beauty, because all of the great masters of religious paintings. whether of Latin or Nordic origin, have pictured the Madonna in this way. She is a brunet, but neither typically Italian, Spanish, French or Irish—but rath-

era combination of all four. Such a beauty is Marjorie Mulhall, who poses for many of my pictures. She Is about five feet, seven inches tall, has dark brown hair and eyes that are very beautiful in expression. Her skin is rich in coloring, with that sun-kissed hue so many girls try to attain by exposing themselves to the elements. Naturally this type will use only an ochre powder for daytime. In the evening, the ochre powder should cany a tinge of rose in its foundation to best bring out the beauty of her skin under electric lights. If any rouge is used, it should be more or less of an orange-tinted one, especially for evening. Frequently, this type can renounce rouge entirely and make up her lips alluring but quietly in its stead. With an oval face and beautifully shaped ears like Miss Mulhall’s, the "Madonna” type of girl looks best with slight “sideburns,” the hair drawn back to reveal the ears, and caught in a graceful knot at the nape of the neck.

Burgundy reds and brighter red shades with a suggestion of blue In their depths are good colors for her. Black and white make a stunning combination, as do orange and brown, but there are very few shades of blue or green that do not have a tendency to make her creamy skin look muddy. Yellows, browns and beige are becoming, but grey should be avoided.

LEGION PARLEY BRANDED HUGE ‘SOUSE PARTY’ Florida Editor Shocked by What He Says He Saw in Dry Indiana. By Timex Special WASHINGTON, Oct. I.—ln a letter to the New York Times, W. M. Glenn, publisher of the Orlando, (Fla.) Morning Sentinel, describes the Indiana American Legion convention at Lafayette last August in terms of a “medieval drinking bout.” Glenn describes himself as a former student of De Pauw University, and says that though he visited Purdue when the saloons were running wide open in Lafayette, he never saw or could imagine such medieval drinking bouts as he saw in 1928. The letter describes conditions of alleged lawlessness In Indiana as poortrayed by a staff correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. The letter follows in full: “Editor New York Times: I just have read your editorial, ‘Way Down Upon the Wabash River,’ in Wednesday’s Times, in which reference is made to Senator Watson and ‘dry Indiana’ and liquor conditions in that grand old State of politicians and scholars. Runs Into Wild Scene “The last week in August a business mission took me to Indiana. I went to Lafayette and ran into a State convention of the American Legion. I have been to many conventions, but it is my conviction that this convention outconventioned anything ever staged by the Elks, Shriners, Moose, K. of C., Knights Templar, Odd Fellows or Hoo Hoos. The hotel was a raging mass of legionnaires, all set for a lovely session. “Their breaths and the steaming perspiration were a combination of the varied alcoholic odors from the champagne cellars of Rheims to the immense vats of Busch’s brewery in St. Louis, with several North Carolina moonshine stills and kitchen home brew parlots thrown in. “As it is ‘unlawful’ to attempt to define drunkenness, I only cay say that the boys were having a big time. Taking the elevator, I went to my floor, stepped out and straight ahead I saw a room that resembled a bottle factory. Several boys were draped around chairs and beds. “I cannot swear that anything

So They Part By Timex Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 1. —Divorces were granted as follows in one day’s session of court here for the grounds stated: Ida from John Youngrens. He was gone fifteen years and came back to find she had sued for divorce. Earl H. from Nan Sudduth. They never agreed on anything. Lillian from John Fehn. He was often brought home drunk from his job as a shoe clerk. Elizabeth from Robert Ohning. He slammed doors and called her “a two-faced cat.” Mary R. Raster’s husband told her he was too good-look-ing to be married.

intoxicating had been in the bottles. Reaching my room, I gazed from a window to the street scene below. Where bedlam was reigning. At right angles to the sidewalks, surrounded by six or seven boys with them was a five-gallon demijohn. Nobody was allowed to pass the car unless he took a drink from the jug. “The next morning I went into a barber shop to get a shave. This is the conversation I overheard: ‘Wasn’t that a sight last night on the square? Did you see that little boy? He’s an orphan boy, 8 years old, and goes everywhere with one of the buddies. He can shoot craps and drink as much likker as the big fellows.’ Everybody Gets Laugh “Everybody in the shop laughed, including two women who were getting their hair bobbed. Lafayette is the seat of Purdue University. It is chiefly famous for George Ade, John T. McCutcheon and his brother, George Barr McCutcheon. They were there in the late ’Bos. “I attended De Pauw University in 1910, and have visited Purdue University when saloons were running wide open. I never saw or could imagine such medieval drinking bouts as I saw in 1928. Neither could John or George. Hooray for Dry Indiana.” PROTESTS COAL YARD Suit Opposes Erection of Rail Switch and Fertilizing Plant. Suit for a permanent injunction to prevent the Capital City Fuel Compnay from erecting a coal yard, railroad switch and commercial fertilizing plant near 4505 Wlnthrop Ave. was filed today in Superior Court Four by Mrs. Mary E. Chase of that adress. She alleged these units of the company’s plant are under construction and will damage the property in the vicinity.
