Predicts Rise In Bootlegging

Times Special EVANSTON, Ill, Dec. 29.—A prediction that bootlegging will develop inté “a national scandal” within a year was made here today by the National Woman's Christian Temperance union. The prediction, the union explained, was based on “the present consumption of illicit liquors plus]. huge increases expected as a result of the new federal excise tax on legally manufactured liquors.” . “A spokesman for the liquor industry,” said Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith, national president, “has put the amount of illicit distilled liquor sold at 25 per cent of the total consumption. - This would mean 28,750,000 gallons of non-taxed apd illegal spirits annually. “Now increases of $1.60 to $2 a gallon on liquor taxes will make manufacture and sale of illicit whisky more profitable than ever. The result will be bootlegging far greater than anything seen during prohibition or any other time,” she added.

Woman's Viewpoint— ‘Let's Say We Fight to Save Capitalism’

By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer HONEST PEOPLE who aren't afraid of facts know that democracy, as we use the word, is bound up with capitalism. One thing we North Americans are fighting for is the preservation of the capitalistic

g isn’t the objec- ® tive, why not E make the point clear? Even if it is not te yet here, the time

you and I and all other citizens must decide what kind of government we want after the war is over. At present the confusion of words is terrible, and some of them are designed to keep our minds off the main issues. I wish Dr. Gallup would take a poll. It should be easy to state the questions: “Do you wish to keep a capitalistic form of government in your country? Do.you believe free enterprise is a requisite for individual freedom?” Hands ought to be counted, because it is plain that some of the reasons behind the bungling and delay in the war effort is the feeling that we have too many opposing definitions of democracy. 2 ” ” , WE ARE IN the war, so we have been told, to save the “American way of life.” If there’s truth in those words, we are fighting for capitalism, and, like Dr. Ruth Alexander, I see no reason to he ashamed of the word or to camouflage it under ‘veils of theoretical isms. While it has not been a perfect system, it offers fewer imperfections than any other, in my opinion. It is plain, too, that to save it we shall have to resort to fascist methods while the war is on. We have

economic “czars” appointed to rule

over us; our sons are regimented in a vast military system. Which is okay with us, because we've got sense enough to know that these stern measures are necessary ‘in fighting our axis enemies. But we've also got, sense enough to see that collectivism has made great progress here in ' the last decade. The communistic ideal has

lions of our people and there are signs that it might take over when the battles end.. I shall probably be accused of

hard duty before us is to consider

be stand’ on one side or the other when the moment arrives for taking stands on anything except winol | ning a war?

Hoosier Servicemen in New York To Have ‘Hospitality House’

By HELEN WORDEN

Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.—If Ole Olsen doesn’t watch out he’s going °

sprout wings.

He’s proved his big heartedness again by giving &

town house to the Sons of Indiana as a Hoosier hospitality house fr Indiana servicemen. The canteen should be ready for use within a mont’ .

I askéd him today what prompted his generosity. and Chic Johnson already put on a show each Wednesday night at tF

Stage Door canteen. Every. Thursday night they entertain 300 servicemen at the Lambs club. “I guess it was on account of

Raymond Fisher, a kid cousin of|

mine from Ft. Wayne,” Ole said after a moment. A couple of months ago Raymond got married. He brought his young bride to New York for a week's honeymoon before he entered the army. Ole reserved the governor's sulte at the Lexington. Then he showed them New York: The Empire State building, the subway, the automat, Broadway and Fifth ave. from the top of a bus. “Those youngsters had the time of their lives,” he said. “But afterwards I got to thinking. Suppose they hadn't known anyone in New York?” . The Hoosier house is the answer. Ole insists on one thing only, The canteen must be homey. s ” »

TODAY he wandered through the deserted five-story house at 45 W.

55th st. and planned the new in-|

terior. Standing in an empty highceilinged parlor, he described the radio-phonograph and the comfortable chairs for the room. He stopped for a moment in the kitchen. «1 like it all white,” he said, “a real old-fashioned kitchen like we had back in Indiana.” Ole is the same person offstage as on. But his screwball manner

ilis deceptive. During 28 years of | partnership with Chic Johnson, he’s

never missed a performance. He's

‘| never been late for one. ‘He doesn’t ilsmoke and seldom takes a drink.

’ #7 tJ 2 3 HE HAS a keen business head coupled with a generous nature. Two years ago he leased the restaurant at 4 W. 40th st. to help out a friend. When the friend turned out to be crooked, Ole found himself with a restaurant on his hands.

He hired Sherman Billingsley’s| brother, Ora, as manager, and has

made it a paying business. Wherever he goes, Ole passes out free tickets to Sons o’Fun. Driving in from his home in Malverne this week, he saw two’ young soldiers and gave them a lift. When he

reached the theater he gave them];

tickets to the show ‘that evening and went to the.dressing room.

A few minutes, later the soldiers re-

appeared.

“Dawgone it,” said ‘one of them, §

a'boy from Alabama, “I didn’t know this was. Olsen and Johnson!”
