CAMPUS SALE OF LIQUOR IS TO BE BARRED ‘Dry Zone’ Regulations May Be Enforced After Dry Law Repeal. BOOTLEGGER IS ‘OUT’ Wisconsin Offers Beer to Students in College Dispensaries. By ( mlrd Press CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—Liquor is doing to be harder to obtain on some middle-western campuses after repeal than it was before, a survey shows. When prohibition w'as in flower all that Joe College had to do to provide intoxicants for a party was call his favorite bootlegger. The liquor was delivered promptly, even within the shadow of study halls. With the eighteenth amendment repealed, many dusty regulations regarding liquor are in the process of renovation and these, coupled with city and state restrictions, promise to make the going hard indeed for the college boys and girls who care to tipple. University Sell* Beer The consensus was that repeal will drive out the bootlegger and liquor dispensaries will be barred in most cases from the immediate vicinity of college campuses. At the University of lowa, for example, pre-prohibition law's forbade the sale of liquor w'ithin three miles of the campus. It is assumed similar legislation will be passed for the new order. The University of Wisconsin may prove a notable exception to the general rule, although officials there have reached no decision regarding new regulations. The Madison school, however, now permits sale of beer in campus dining halls and its famous old German rathskeller. Illinois Permits Drinking Illinois regulations do not forbid drinking among students, but provide penalties for “disorderly conduct.’’ State universities formerly were protected by a four-mile dry zone, but whether it now is legal is a moot question. Future regulations have been discussed by the faculty only informally. Northwestern university officials said present regulations, forbidding sale of liquor within four miles of the institution, undoubtedly would be continued. Under the regulations, sale of 3.2 per cent beer is prohibited near the institution, w’hich is only two blocks from the W. C. T. U. headquarters. Three Await Wet Wave Officials of Michigan, Minnesota and Indiana universities are waiting for the return of liquor before crossnig any bridges. State legislatures are expected to act in all cases to ban bars and taverns near the schools. Hamline and McAlester colleges In St. Paul, will forbid sale of any alcoholic beverage, and ask city protection. And just to cap the new' “prohibition” which threatens the student bodies, several institutions, including the University of Wisconsin, have indicated that if the alcoholic content of beer is increased, then it, too. will fall under the ban.

Cincinnati, at the meeting of the Beth-El Men’s Club tomorrow night in the vestry rooms of the Beth-El Zedeck temple. Rabbi Feinberg will illustrate his talk with Hebrew and Jewish songs.

A War Prevented! Even Cautious Envoys See That Daughters of Ministers Both Get on Prize List.

BY GEORGE ABEIX Tlmrs Special Writer WASHINGTON. Nov. 14 Latin-American diplomats are much concerned over the war between Paraguay and Bolivia and everything is done to gloss any unpleasantness which might mark the relations of Minister Bordenave of Paraguay and Minister Finot of Bolivia. So when the minister of Venezuela. Senor Arcava. and his wife gave a children's fancy dress party they diplomatically asked the Bolivian envoy's niece, little 10-year-old Gloria Finot. and the Paraguayan envoy's daughter, little Miss Bordenave.

Gloria Finot came dressed as an Indian maiden. Not the whooping. n-tom-beating redskin of North ..nerlca. but a graceful, oliveskinned Indian of Bolivia. "Charming! Charming!" commented Senora de Arcaya. "She resembles the beautiful granddaughter of President Gomez.' sighed Minister Arcaya, who never fails to mention President-Dictator Gomez in public and private speeches. 'He's afraid they might exile him.) "She musj have the prize for the best costume." decided Senora de Arcaya. a a a SO little Gloria received the first prize, with a quick smile and a curtsy. Just then somebody thought about Paraguay. Little Miss Bordenave was walking about dressed as a very fine Spanish lady with comb and mantilla. There was some whispering and diplomatic Minister Arcaya made his decision. "The second prize goes to Miss Bordenave." he announced, amid hand clapping. A second Bolivian-Paraguayan conflict in Washington has been temporarily averted.

BY WILLIS THORNTON Times Special W riter DISMAL rain poured down, but the thousands crowding around a Broadway funeral parlor pushed and shoved, fighting for a glimpse of the front of a building. Dozens were trampled and hurt. Police had to be called to restore order. Inside the building a man lay dead. He was Rudolph Valentino, a movie actor. This was in August, 1926. A movie actor's death was important —important enough for thousands to push one another just for a chance to see the building where his body lay. Those were the days! Days of 1926, when Joyce Hawley sat in Earl Carroll's bathtub, and Gerald Chapman was hanged, and Tunney beat Dempsey. Aimee McPherson came back to her flock with a fascinating story of a Mexican kidnaping. Queen Marie barnstormed across the country like a medicine show, and Calvin Coolidge sat in the White House assuring the country that economy was the first of the virtues, and let's not rock the boat. And, oh yes, a fellow named Franklin D. Roosevelt was presiding at a New York state Democratic convention and helping to secure the nomination as Governor of a fellow named Alfred E. Smith. m n a THOSE were the days! Days that we may see again—in at least one respect. The prices we were paying for things. By one means or another, the President has assured us, prices are going to be raised. “Do it we will!” was his grim promise. And that year 1926 is the one picked as the “normal” to which we are to return. Once we are paying for things what we paid in 1926, the plan is to regulate money, credit, gold, production and other things so that the 1926 price level will remain practically the same for a generation. Yes. we were paying plenty for things back in 1926. If you think prices are rising pretty stiffly today, glance down this table.

Capital Capers

Philosophical, good-natured Pedro Guevara, resident commissioner of the Philippines in Washington, reflectively smokes his imported Manila cigars and muses on cruel fate. For ten years, philosophical Pedro has been suggesting a round-table conference to settle Filipino problems. "Round-table conference." he repeats each year. "Oh, if I could only make people realize the value of the round table!" A few days ago Pedro was looking over the racing forms and suddenly spied the name of a horse. "Round Table!” "Bv all that's holy.” quoted Pedro "I'll back that horse. Maybe my luck will turn." He went to Pimlico and put a good sum on “Round Table.” The horse furthermore, was the favorite. "If I win," said Pedro, rubbing his hands. “I'll give all my friends boxes of Manila cigars.' Alas! Pedro did not win. his friends have no cigars! “Round Tab'e"—the favorite, the jinx, the hoo'oo. the ten-year-dream—fin-ished last.

The Indianapolis Times

“The Golden Age” of 1926, to whose price levels we seek to return. . . . Prices and skirts (1) were higher then, and the death of Rudolph Valentino, “The Sheik” (9), was a major event. . . . Aimee McPherson's

these things have risen in price since March of this year. Yet you see how far they must rise to reach the 1926 level. That level and that year have been picked because, with prices at those levels, it seems as though everybody was getting about as good a break then as he's had in any recent year. For instance, in that year there seems to have been practically no unemployment. Statistics on this were nothing like as complete as they are today, because then it wasn't so important to know about those things. The Brookings Institute, however, estimated in 1926 that outside of a million or so people who couldn't or wouldn't work, practically everybody had a job. The bureau of labor statistics indicated that factory employment was 92 per cent, as compared with 100 in 1923. The iron and steel industries

Sorry, Judge Defendant Absent: He Was in Jail.

OSCAR (Red) SMITH was scheduled to ‘'confer" with Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzel) today, after being forced to send his regrets yesterday when unable to attend a previous conference. Smith was unable to appear in court to face liquor charges because Newport officials insisted that he remain in jail there, where he was arrested several days ago on charges of carrying concealed weapons. Together with Douglass Hall, Smith was tried on counterfeiting charges in federal court a week ago, these charges later being dismissed and liquor charges substistuted after the two admitted hijacking 120 gallons of alcohol from rum runners at Schneider. Hall was fined SSO and given a six months’ jail sentence, suspended yesterday. FIRE CAUSES DAMAGE AT APARTMENT BUILDING Flames Also Result in Loss at East Side Home. A four-apartment building at 2363 North Meridian street, owned by Mrs. Joseph Friedman, was damaged last night by fire, originating in the basement and spreading to the attic. Loss was estimated at $l5O. Damage of about SIOO resulted from a fire last night at the home of Edward Martin, 27 Jenny lane, caused by an overheated furnace.

M M M AMERICA in 1926 was looking with uneasy horror at Bri4ain, where just under a million people were on the dole. Our treasury was in great shape. The public debt, hiked to around twenty-six billions during the war, had been cut to nineteen. The treasury surplus for 1926 was nearly $400,000,000 above expenses, and tax reduction and tax rebates were the order of the day. The goose hung high. But even then some people were not well off. The federal government was offering funds to carry over four million bales of cotton, and was urging a cut of at least one-third in acreage. The “farm bloc” was active in

congress, shouting for relief. But when congress turned down the Haugen bill, which would have spent $175,000,000 to raise farm prices, Senator Robinson warned of 'widespread distress and threatened bankruptcy in the agricultural sections of the middle west and west.” * a it SO you see that even at the price levels of 1926 the farmers weren’t happy. And wheat was $1.19 at the farm as the year closed, having hovered around $1.50 at Chicago nearly all that year. But the programs under which the American taxpayer was to pour two billions of dollars in the farmers’ laps, with no end in sight today, still were being rejected firmly by congress back in 1926. It was more concerned about the Vare election scandals in Pennsylvania and the fact that most of our European debt-

ors were just arranging to pay on a revised scale. Labor in general was laboring, though there was a long and bitter strike in the anthracite fields, and fur, cloak and subway strikes in New York. The allies were pulling out of the Rhineland, the Locarno treaties were going into effect, and Mabel Walker Willebrandt assured us that prohibition enforcement was getting better all the time. Lots of those things are gone forever. But the price levels, the plenty of work, the treasury surpluses, the general well-being of the people—those are the things which the government is trying to bring back as they were in 1926. And remember that President Roosevelt said. “Do it we will.” Next—How a professor who was practical enough to make his farm pay fathered a plan for regulating gold, money and prices.
