WOMEN CLASH AS BOOZE LAW BATTLE RAGES Show Children How to Drink Cocktails, Is Social Leaders’ Stand. BY HARRY FERGUSON I'nitrd Press Stiff Correspondent PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.—Philadelphia women, traditionally known as the best cooks in the nation, have left their pepper pot and scrapple stewing on the stove, to run out to the front porch and argue about prohibition. Not since the passage of the Voltead act has the feminine population here been so excited about a piece of national legislation. The controversy has reached the stage Where each day the newspapers are devoting the most prominent space or. their front pages to it. Prohibition Failed At the head or the anti-prohibi-tion fraction is the attractive Mrs. Graham Dougherty, a 31-year-old society matron, who startled the city recently by announcing that prohibition was a failure, and that it was the duty of parents to teach their children “how to take their cocktails like ladies and gentlemen.’’ The marshal of the dry faction is Mrs. H. Clay Ferguson, wife of a minister and president of the county W. C. T. U. Mrs. Ferguson, an earnest, elderly worker for prohibition, accuses Mrs. Dougherty of “sedition” and charges a world-wide conspiracy of brewers is working to break down the Volstead law. Gives Time to Work Mrs. Dougherty Is vice-chairman of the Pennsylvania division of the women's organization for prohibition reform. So strongly does she feel on the subject that she has abandoned most of the elaborate social functions to devote her time to the work. She sat at a business-like desk in the IVarburton house, clad in a coral jersey dress and wearing a black cloche hat. Her words fell in crisp sentences. ‘‘Philadelphia is largest dry city in the United States,” she said, “but ihere is a tremendous amount of drinking going on here. I have four children. “The oldest Is 11 years old. and when these children decide they want to drink, they can come to me and g.'t it in our home. I will teach them to drink temperately, to take their cocktails like ladies and gentlemen, instead of sending them nut to speakeasies.”

ITALIAN LEADER DIES Close Friend of Mussolini Held Portfolio Only Few Months. If ll tnitcl Prrut ROME, Feb. 4.—Michele Bianchi, 47, minister of public works, died late Monday. Bianchi held the portfolio in Mussolini's cabinet only a few months, having been appointed Sept. 13, when the dictator reorganized the cabinet. His association with Mussolini was long and close. Varicose Veins If rou or any relative or friend nro worried or suitor because of varicose \ 'lns. or bunches, the best advice that anyone in this world can give Is to get a prescription that literally hundreds of people all over the country arc using with complete satisfaction. Simply ask your druggist for an original two-ounce bottle of Emerald Oil * full strength i and apply night, and morning to the swollen, enlarged veins, rubbing gently upwards and towards the heart as the blood in the veins flows that way. Soon you will notice that they arc growing smaller and the treatment should be continued until the veins are of normal size. Emerald Oil Is a powerful, yet harmless germicide, and results are guaranteed by its makers. You can get it at Hook's Dependiihie Drug Stores and all good druggists.- Advertisement.

A FINE ROBUST SHOW IS NOW IN THIS CITY •Follow Thru,’ Now at English's, Is the Kind of Show Which Is a Mighty Safe Entertainment Buy. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THERE is a mighty fine robust and healthy show now in this man's town. Am speaking of “Follow Thru” as being presented by Schwab and Mandel. This is the show that has that song success done in various moods, called “Button Up Your Overcoat.” Bobby Jarvis and Peggy O'Neill are responsible for the rip snorting success of this tune in the version that we have with us. These two have that natural and individual comedy charm which will make one want to remember this a*mber not as a tune, but the way these two people tease and tantalize it into grand comedy. These two have much to do with the show.

The comedy wow of the show and it is full of that “it” and “if” stuff, is put over in the third scene of the second act, called “The Ladies’ Dressing Room,” by Jarvis and Harry Tighe. Granting you that it is burlesque dressed up with dash and perfume and perfectly scented with this and that, this scene has a comedy wallop that is a knockout. The director, producer as well as the actors know just how far to go.

You will find no fault with this cast in this golf set to music show. You have plenty of golf and all that goes with it. The love element in this show is splendidly put over by Lillian Bond and Warren Hull. She is the golf champion of the club and Jerry, well, he is an expert, but his sudden moods causes

Lora to play bad golf. They have the tune, “You Wouldn’t Fool Me, Would Ya?” and even with that title it is the love song of this show. And then in the second act, they have this haunting one. “I Could Give Up Anything But You ” Both act with charm and sincere understanding of the natural acting in musical comedy. In other words, they arc right. Must tell you right now about the grand stepping done by Peggy O’Neill and Bobby Jarvis. These two, in addition to their comedy talents, have that hitting and prancing stuff in their feet which causes this show to sparkle with dance. And I liked the work of Nayar. Pearce every minute she was on the stage. She Can sing, she can dance and she gives one the idea that golf is no mystery to her. A rather very fine entertainment, with class written all over her. Oh, there are many others present. This show has a singing and prancing chorus that is right. They work every minute. The women are right and so are the men. They seem to take this show game as a legitimate business, and they entertain. This dancing group has speed

and pep and causes the show to : move at a rapid pace. And let me give credit to the person who keeps the costumes clean. ; Splendid. And while I am giving credit let me call attention to the director in the orchestra pit. and the drummer. I do not know their names, but that man with the drums { has that magical thing known as it he musical jazz tempo. And he I helps to keep those on the stage ! going at a fast and an enjoyable pace. Tliis drummer is a wonder. He is hot on them there drums. You have as safe a buy at English’s this week in “Follow Thru” as you have ever had on the stage. a tt GREENWOOD AGAIN IS THE FAMOUS LETTY Charlotte Greenwood had her day on the legitimate stage in a series of Letty musical plays of which “So Long Letty” probably was the ; most famous. I She has never rebelled at being ; called the “long legged comedienne” | and she lives up to that .title in a 1 talking and singing version of “So

Long Letty.” She still uses her eccentric build to get the laughs, and she kicks as high as she did in the old days wh,en sfie was on the stage. The movie version runs pretty true to the stage version as the story deals with two manned couples who live side by side. One wife didn’t want to cook and forced her husband to take her to night

Well, the husbands were • mighty glad to get their own wives i back at the end of the week. Os course, the rich uncle of one of the husbands arrives on the scene and complicates matters. Uncle in this case is Claude Gillingwater. Others in the cast include Grant Withers and Patsy Ruth Miller. Aijd of course ! the “So Long Letty” music is pres- ; ent. This movie, although not a j great one, gives Miss Greenwood her chance. And it has many laughs, i Gene Greene is present on the

vaudeville part of the bill. He sings his own brand of songs and does well with “Singing in the Rain.” His stories at times run mighty near the danger line. But he stops the | show.

‘RESCUE' GROUP HURLS EDICT AT ‘BIG BILL' ‘No Co-Operation, No Cash' Ultimatum Tossed at Chicago Chiefs.

BY MERTON T. AKERS. United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 4. Silas H. Strawn and his “rescue” committee laid Chicago's $300,000,000 debt on the doorstep of Mayor William Hale Thompson’s administration today with the ultimatum “no co-opera-tion, no cash.” Having spoken. Strawn packed his bags and prepared to go to Washington for a few days, thence to continue to New York, and return next week. In the meanwhile, he advised Thompson and the city council “to think it over,” and inferred that a frank conference with the administration on one side of the table, and the “rescue committee” on the other, probably would result in enough cash, at least, to pay policemen, firemen and health workers, w-ho are living the best w r ay they can without money. Boiled down to essentials, Strawn’s ultimatum, issued Monday night after a meeting with the committee, said there was virtually no hope that the 40,000 public employes would draw a pay check before Feb. 10.

How long after that it will be before money is forthcoming for pay rolls, depends on whether the city and school administrations show a disposition to cast their fate With Strawn’s group and get some of the millions which have been pledged by business men and corporations. The county, with $7,000,000 in taxwarrants gathering dust for want of a buyer, and the sanitary district, i have pledged themselves to abide i by the committee’s financial decij sions. City Youth Under Arrest Raymond Fortune, 19. of 745 Luett avenue, is held in Detroit on charges of burglary, Indianapolis police were notified today. He wore | a. messenger’s uniform to avoid attention and rode a motorcycle in I committing fifty burglaries, Detroit I police allege.

How a Family Doctor . made Millions

FIFTEEN years after his graduation, Dr. Caldwell became one of the best-known members of his profession. A single prescription made him famous. And for forty years it has continued to make friends. As fast as people could tell others about the marvelous way this prescription corrects constipation and relieves other troubles caused by sluggish bowels, demand for it spread until Dr. Caldwell was forced to have it filled in quantities; bottled and distributed through drug stores. Today. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, as it is called, is the world’s most popular laxative. Millions of people would never think of using any-thing else when they’re headachy, bilious, _

en, were freed by police, when women failed to identify them and when they provided alibis Monday night. The two were arrested after a woman complained of being accosted by two Negroes in a car. Within the last three weeks, two women have been kidnaped and as-

feverish, or weak; when breath is bad, tongue is coated or they are suffering from nausea, from gas, or lack of appetite, etc. Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin as you buy it from your drug store is made in accordance with the original formula from only herbs and other pure ingredients. It is pleasant tasting; its action is thorough in the most obstinate cases; gently effective for women and children. Above all. it represents a doctor’s choice of what is safe for the bow-els.
