LAUGH AT AND WITH 'JIM' IN ROUT OF DRYS Watson Repudiates All Alliances. Votes Wet: Tragedy in Scene. • BV RAY TIXKER limfi Mr.fT Writer WASHINGTON. Feb. 22. edy and ronifdy strode through the senate chamber on the day that august body destroyed a decade of tradition by voting to submit prohibition repeal to the states. It was impossible not to feel pity for Morris Sheppard of Texas, and it was impossible not to laugh at—k and with Jim Watson of Indiana. There were those who inveighed against the Texan because, stopwatch in hand, he drooled through a dull, nine-hour speech on the League of Nations in a perfunctory filibuster. His world was crumbling, and he did not seem to realize it. In a metallic monotone he droned on, the butt of jokes and criticism, n fusing offers of candy and water lest they contain more' than onehalf of 1 per cent of alcohol, and declining to debate the league with such roistering, wet merry-makers as Moses of New Hampshire. Asa swan singer, he decidedly was oil the popular key. Tears in “Mourners" Bench Above him. huddled in the visitors’ gallery, sat men and women who have devoted th ir lives to the prohibition movement. Truly a ‘ mourners’ bench," they seemed to b • weeping over the death of everything they held dear. Ministers, bishops and canons sat with their heads in their palms; tears appeared on the faces of feminine fanatics. They seemed too stunned to resent Carter Glass’ references to certain white-ribboners as “moral lepers and statutory crim- j inals.” Earlier in (he day, Mrs. Henry F. j Peabody, the Bostonian Puritan, who I moved from Massachusetts to Florida in migratory protest against the Bay Slate's wetness, had a foretaste of what was to happen.

Jim Is “Comic Relief" * Stopping Jim Watson in the senate subway, she sought to interest him in the cause of prohibition. But the Hoosier statesman, who would have listened to her for hours only a few years ago, brushed her aside with the remark: ‘I am not interested, madam.” Jim provided the comic relief, although he had company Only a *ucw years ago he was drier than Mrs. Peabody, and the rustling of Klan nightshirts in Indiana used to send him running lo cover. In fart, it was charged at one time that he possessed a gold card of membership in the Klan. This he denied, but there was no denying the fact that he played political ball with the night-riding realm. Yet the other day he voted for I highballs, as if he had always been i convinced of the folly of prohibition. Repudiates Everything Some thought they heard him sigh as if in gratitude at the thought that his defeat last fall permitted him to vote his convictions. What a perfect end to his public career! Two months ago this prince of Machiavellians conspired with Huey Long to make trouble for the Democrats. Now he lines up with the wets to repudiate everything and everybody he has stood by for the last decade.

JUDGES UPHELD IN PAY MANDATE FIGHTS Courts Can Determine Appropriations, High Bench Decides. Indiana supreme court judges have decided that county courts can determine personal appropriations and the county council is limited to approving the figures. This point is included in a decison written by Justice Curtis Roll and handed down by the high court late Tuesday. The ruling was made in the case of Miss Alice Corydon, Marion county circuit court page, who sought to mandate the auditor to pay her S7BO a year, as ordered by former Judge Harry O. Chamberlin. The county council appropriated SSOO. Rub' 0 of the high court was to the effect that the courts can determine the amount needed and the council must provide it. Tlit mandate should be against the council and not the auditor, since the auditor can not appropriate money not provided by the council, the opinion pointed out.

More than 200 northern Ohio farmers who gathered before the courthouse at Defiance to prevent the sale of the 120-acre farm of Edva-d Partee were thwarted by Sheriff Fred E. Warfield < left). When no bids were made, because of presence of the crowd, Warfield pulled from his pocket a sealed bid from the Defiance Security Building and Loan Company and sold the property. A similar expedient foiled 400 farmers of Portage county when they tried to stop a sale at Ravenna, while Lorain county farmers were organizing at Huntington to employ the same tactics to prevent foreclosures.

Wets Turn Artillery on Medicinal Liquor Clause 71 y Bcrippu-Tlairard Xrrespaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Cheered by the house repeal vote, wet hope this week to gain another significant victory by repealing immediately that section of the Volstead law which restricts the quantity o; medicinal liquor which physicians may prescribe.

The change, recommended by the American Medical Society and the treasury, has been reported favorably to the house in the Celler bill, and the rules committee has given it legislative right of way. Its passage is predicted. As soon as the house acts, Senator Royal S. Copeland <Dem., N. Y.), who is a physician, will seek immediate action in the senate on a companion bill introduced by him and tacitly approved heretofore by the senate judiciary committee. Elimination of the restrictions on physicians will remove what the Wickersham commission described as a “cause of irritation and resentment,” w'hile Circuit Judge William S. Kenyon, a member of the commission, in a supplemental report declared: “Physicians should be permitted, under reasonable regulations, to prescribe whatever liquor in their judgment is necessary for a patient. If a physician can be trusted to prescribe dangerous drugs, he can be trusted to prescribe liquors as medicines.” The existing law restricts physicians to one pint of liquor per patient every ten days and it also limits physicians to one book of 100 prescriptions every three months.

The plea that “I didn't know it was loaded” could not’ be used by radio patrolman John Keeley in explaining the accidental discharge of a shot gun in a squad car early today. Keeley pumped the shell into the gun himself. He and his partner, Theodore McNiel, were cruising in search of two reported holdup men. Keeley loaded the gun and was holding it when it was discharged, blowing a hole in tthe roof of the car.

THOUSANDS MISTAKE ‘WASHBOARD THROAT’ FOR DEADLY “FLU”! The feeling of being all in—dead on your feet—fools many people into believing they are sunk in the grip of deadly “flu.” Asa matter of fact, their trouble is often due to the poisonous effects of throat infection. sore throat, or “washboard throat,” a truly dangerous ailment. The thing to do is take a swallow of Thoxine. Soreness, hoarseness, rasping goes quickly. Sick, tired feeling yields. Coughs disappear in a jiffy. A few doses usually see you through. Thoxine is an entirely different medicine. It counteracts the toxins and poisons that cause sore throats, colds, and coughs—something that gargles, salves, lozenges, and syrups do not do. It's real prescription medicine —safe even for children—3sc at all drug stores Advertisement.

Cruel World Hijackers Rob Rumania’s Envoys of Liquor Shipment.

3y Scrippa-Ifaward Xeicspnper Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The royal Rumanian legation has just undergone a shock more severe than the mqrital adventures of King Carol. Sixteen cases of liquor brought here in the usual diplomatic consignment were found to be full —of water. Hijackers had tapped the bottles in transit, cleverly replaced the gold seals and tinsel in place of champagne, brandy and whisky. Polite Rumanian Minister Davila never swears, but he said something like “Oh, dear!” when the bottles were opened. Mr. Nano, the Rumanian counselor (noted for his Lovely wife and his monocle), nearly fainted. “Gone!” he cried, as he tipped a bottle of Mumm's extra-dry and found only water. There was a tinkle of broken glass. Had Nano thrown the bottle on the floor in a rage? No—he had dropped his monocle. \ Last year the Italian embassy discovered that its shipment of rare liquors had been replaced by salt water. The Rumanian hijackers had not even the decency to supply salt. The water was fresh. . For months the Rumanian legation has been dry—almost bone dry. Confidently the supply of champagne, brandy and whisky was awaited. As the cases—apparently untouched—were opened, Messrs. Davila & Nano <to whom they were consigned) breathed a sigh of relief. Since the tragedy. Minister Davila is canceling several parties.

U. S. STAND TO MAKE OR BREAK WORLD LEAGUE Disciplining of Japan to Hinge on Co-Operation of Russia, America. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripcs-Hon-ard Forritn Editor WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.—The next and most vital step yet taken in the squabble between the League of Nations and defiant Japan—a step expected to make or break the league as an effective world peace agency—has been p- f squarely up to the United States and Russia. Having failed signally after almost a year and a half to check Japanese aggression in China, the league has now reached the place where it either must stop in its tracks, or risk all and try to enforce Article 16. which definitely calls for some sort of sanctions. This decision, the gravest in the history of the league, depends upon America and the Soviet Union, two non-members. Article 16 provides for the punishment of a covenant-breaking state —severance of trade and other relations, boycotts and even armed force. Yet it is admitted that not even the mildest of these sanctions could be made effective without the cooperation of all the major powers.

Crisis Almost Here The. crisis which league mem-! bers have dreaded for more than a decade, therefore, now is almost | at hand. Two colossal powders, Russia and i the United States, stand squarely in the road to further league action against Japan. Either the peace machine must come to a halt or the co-operation of these powers must be secured. Already, it is understood, both countries have been sounded out. Within the next few days, it is said, formal statements of their position wall be asked. Much depends upon their answers. Great Britain, first to sense the inevitability of such a situation, particularly is anxious. A decade ago, she foresaw the time when her fleet might be called to defend the league covenant against the fleet of the United States, and she never has relished the prospect. No U. S. Commitments To head off such danger, Britain has tried for years to obtain from the United States a definite commitment to observe, or respect, a league blockade, or other forms of sanction, against an aggressor nation. But no such commitment has been forthcoming. Washington’s attitude has been that each situation would have to be judged on its merits and as it arose. It held that to define an “aggressor nation” in advance would be difficult and even perilous. The league now has condemned Japan for her invasion of Manchuria. Japan is asked to give Manchuria back to China. This she refuses to do. Instead, Jehol, another North China province, is on the point of being added to the three already seized.

SEEKS TO PROLONG STOCK MARKET QUIZ Costigan Moves to Press Probe in Next Congress. By Scripps-Hoicard .V eicspapcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—Continuation of the stock market inquiry will be sought in the next congress by Senator Edward P. Costigan (Dem„ Colo.) if the senate banking committee does not ask for authority to prolong its investigation. Senator Costigan already has prepared a resolution to extend the present powers of the committee to investigate stock market transactions and tax evasions. The latter phase has not yet been made the subject of public hearings by Chairman Peter Norbeck, although authority to pursue evidence of tax evasion, where it was related to stock trasactions, was conferred upon the committee last session. The fact that David A. Olson, who was employed by the committee to marshal evidence of alleged taxdodging, recently resigned as an agent of the committee, together with the complaint recently laid before Vice-President Charles Curtis by a New T York group charging a “whitewash” of the stock exchange by the committee, may induce Senator Costigan to recommend that a special committee be named to take up the investigation next session. Costigan is a member of the committee.

ABORTING a Cold {with lemon juice) It’s just a waste of time taking a cold remedy that can only relieve. To end your cold, abort it. The lemon juice treatment will ; do it. Squeeze two full-size lemons in a large glass of very hot water and drink without sugar. First, take three tablets of Pape's cold compound an hour apart. This clears the head, dries the nasal passages, reduces any fever. The lemon juice then drives all cold symptoms right out of the system. Bedtime is best. This treatment will abort the worst cold overnight. One cold compound tablet will check a cold at any time, for several hours; then when night comes you can get rid of it by abortion. Any druggist has Pape's cold compound. It's perfectly safe. Try it, and you’ll never go back to half- j way remedies.—Advertisement.

EXPERT TELLS HOW SHE SAVES by using BOND BREAD Airs. Dorothy Ayers Loudon at the Indianapolis Times Cooking School says: “TN MY OWN HOME, as well X as in all my lectures, I use Bond Bread —not only because of its quality but because I find it a real economy. “For one thing, Bond Bread is always eaten up—there is no waste —because everyone likes it. Another point is that its texture is so fine and firm it doesn’t crumble like the ordinary puffed-up loaves. And then, of course, there is much more nourishment in each slice. Home-like Taste, Firm Texture; Always Fresh -vitamin-D “Taste of course is the first reason why so many hundreds of thousands of families eat Bond Bread every day. Bond Bakers purposely stop the rising of Bond Bread at the flavor-peak —so the flavor cannot escape. The firm texture means substance and value. And it is remarkable how fresh it keeps. “All these merits are entirely aside from Bond Bread’s great extra-value as the rich and dependable source of vitaminD —which is absolutely essential in building firm, sound teeth and strong bones. “Other vitamins are plentiful in many foods —but vitamin-D is extremely scarce. Now Bond Bread richly provides it at every meal.” Money-Saving Menus Thrifty New Recipes Bond Bread may be used in so many delicious ways that it gives variety to all your meals and helps you save on other, more expensive foods.
