NTI-LYNCHING BILL FIGHT IS BITTER BATTLE Southerners Are Practically Pitted Against North- erners in COI] gress A By PRESTON GROVER ‘WASHINGTON, Dec Connally of Texas, whose speech is as full of barbs as a porcupine, made a flank attack on the anti- lynching bill during the early ses- sions filibuster that exposed one of its tenderest parts—the possibil- ity it offers for Federal interven- tion into other fields than lynch- ing. Southerners hate the measure. The Civil War is long over but Fed- cral meddling in the South in the vears afterward left such a mark that Southern youngsters three gen- mo of the H s CASCADES OF VEILS Modistes are using more veils in a than ever before. 6.—Senator ! D erations removed still boil at any- thing that might bring it on again. In the rough, the anti-lynching bills provide, in their various forms, that when county officials, notably the sheriff, permit a mob to take a prisoner out of their hands for lynching purposes, the sheriff and county officials may be punished in Federal courts, and the county is made liable to the relatives of the victim for damages. In addition, the failure 4o punish lynchi which occur even before the victim sted would sub- ject the county to fines ranging up- ward to $10,000. TWO EXCE IONS The anti-lynching bill written by s now backing it, head- by Senator Wagner of New York, 1tained two special exemptions. 1e provided that the law should pply to gangsters. In other when rival gangs in Chicago, Cleveland or New York blow each other into gangster eternity, it re- mains, under the proposed legis lation, strictly the business of the and state to handle, Similarl s provided €S MOMENT e city in a greater variety of ways this winter Here you sce Rose Valois’ violet felt logue trimmed with a chou of fuchsia felt ribbon and a dot-flecked veil reaching o the waist. second exception that the measure should not apply to activities of labor groups, even if death should result from disorder in a strike. As to the first exception, Senator Dieterich of Illinois was frank enough to explain that the “gang- ster exception” was desired to pre- vent the relatives of gang victims coming back on the county for dam- ages. Nobody was so frank about the “labor exception,” but it was well understood that framers of the bill did not want to open the way for J. Edgar Hoover's “G-Men” to move in on strike scenes. They did not want to make it necessary for county officials to get “hard” with labor groups for fear of stiff Fed- eral penalties. Nevertheless, said Conally, the bill backers were willing to have that type of Federal intervention visited upon the South. . | .. | | PRESSURE FIGHT Turning on Senator Wagner, Sen- ator Connally said: “That is the «spirit of the missionary—Turn our |gangsters loose, turh our racketeers |loose, but for God's sake, civilize those Southerners.” The whole anti-lynching business |has become a battle of pressure groups. Negro associations, strong- |est in the morth where the negro 'is considered more “emancipated,” have put more pressure on members of Congress than ever before to enact the legislation. But labor “pressure groups” in- sist on a dam in the bill to prevent it flooding in upon them, and nor- thern gang-troubled cities want another dam to keep the “feds” off their necks. And the South—one selid mass of pressure group—wants the legisla- tion sacked and synk in the gulf. Girl Twins Team Up In Law Partnership PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.—Mari- ana and Emilie Blick, dark-eyed twins, will continue professionally the life they began together.

TWO DIVAS IN SAME COMPANY, FRIENDS, YEAH! One Won'tnmw Other to| Lend Even Curling Iron—Stage Notes By GEORGE TUCKER NEW YORK, Dec. 6. — A stage manager of one of the opera com- panies tells of two of his divas who are carrying on a feud with one another. It appears that one of his warblers, in a flirtatious mood, | carried off the boy friend of lhvi other. | The jilted one immediately favor- ed her more successful confrere with a blistering dressing-down, calling her 50 different kinds of Judas and| warning her to keep out of her path| thereafter. It was a ringing denun- | ciation, replete with acrimonious in- vective and leaving the atmosphere quite decidedly sulphurous and blue. Finally she ended on a note which was a masterpiece of rebellious whimsey: “And you can find some- | one else to lend your curling irons to after this, too!” she screamed. " William A. Brady, one of the vet- eran and more successful producers | hereabouts, received a lot of en-| thusiastic comment after his talk| on the radio the other night. The| husband of Grace George, whose| career has been as chock-full of ad- venture as four Sax Rohmer novels, related many exciting moments in his theatrical and sporting hey-dey, such as the time he presented Helen Hayes in a play one night and man- aged the late Jim Corbett in a prize Hght the next. However, as he humorously re-| called, his most thrilling achieve- meént came at thé age of nine. De- voted to the theatre even at that |age, he was seated in “peanut heav-| en,” which means the upper bal- cony one night, and from that dis- tance succeeded in throwing a mar- ble through the bass drum in thei orchestra pit. That, he says, gave, thrill, . » It isn’t génerally known that John Golden amother eminent producer with a fund of anecdotal reminisc- Burns, has plied the trade of a brick layer in his career. Yet, it is true. In addition to accepting packages from Irish hod carriers, he has been a lawyer, a song writer, an inventor and a comic-strip artist. His most notable achievement on Tin Pan |alley was the hit, "Poor Butterfly,” which he wrote in collaboration with Ray Hubbell, and on another loccasion he wrote a song in col- |1aboration with Woodrow Wilson. Professor Golden’s latest contri- bution to the theatrical stage is one of the town’s three smosh hits, “Su- san and God.” He aims to throw four others into rehearsal between now and February. S Subway stations have long been popular as indoor retreats for home- less men, especially during winter. However, they are not warm in win- ter. These subterranean enclos- ures often are colder than the air on the street levels. Gir.l; Win Grid Game COLORADO SPRINGS, Col,, Dec. 6.—A veteran Colorado Springs Col- lege lineman insists a girl in a black hat was the incentive for C.C.s 7-4 victory over Denver in one of the biggest upsets in the Rockies this season. Late in the game, with Denver 1éading 4-0 and C.C. tired and jit- tery, a sophomore tackle was sent in. The eager soph turned to the veteran in the huddle and said: “Do you see that girl up there in the west stands with the black hat on? Well, that’s my girl. Let's show this D.U tackle up so I can make a good impression.’ Down went the D.U. tackle, out of the play. In the next huddle, the veteran said to the sophomore: “Do you see the girl sitting next to the girl in the black hat? Well, that's my girl. Let's show her something.” Again the Denver tackle bit the dirt. A few minutes later C.C. had won the game. Alr Insurance Rates to Be Cut NEW YORK, Dec.' 6.—Insurance for airplane passengers will be cut as much as 75 per cent on or be- foré January 1, it is announced by Déin Scarritt, underwriting manag- er of Associated Aviation Under- writers of New York. “The new rates” he said, “will be the same as the rates for rail trav- el and will be in effect on all do- mestic air lines of the United States.” ———————— MRS.

The story so far: Helga returns to Toyland at dawn after a mid- night skiing trip with the dan- gerous white fox that Santa has ordered to stay away from Toy- land because he steal Christmas gifts, CHAPTER SEVEN Wise Santa | Santa woke up that morning full | of plans. He thought he'd ask the tin soldiers to drill first. The minute he finished breakfast he called the captain. You can see he had no idea that| Helga had been away from the toy- shop all night. “Ho, Guardsman,” he shouted.| “Bring up your men. We'll have an hour of drill.” The poor little captain was so tired from sitting up for Helga all night that he groaned to himself.. His men looked very fine in bright red coats and tall black hats and silver swords. “Ha-a-umph” ‘shouted tain, “F-r-r-d m-rrch!” Forward marched the troops. But the farther they went the more clumsy grew the captain. He stum- bled sleepily over his sword, and he turned right when he should have turned left. the cap- A Clue Santa said nothing, but he scratched his beard and began to look around the toyshop. He saw Inothing disturbed. But his eye lit on a clue. There in a doll’s carriage lay Helga asleep. “Mm-m,” said Santa. ‘This bears looking into.” He turned to the soldiers and shouted, “All out.” The poor, tired captain sat down on a drum and looked as though his feet ached. Santa rose to look around the toy- |shop. Guess what he found? Helga's little silver skis, leaning against a doll's wardrobe, and where they rested on the floor was a tiny pool of water, as though fresh snow had melted from them. “Mm-m," ’said Santa wisely. He “Perhaps we'd better have a talk.” The captain got up timidly and ALEXANDERS ARE HONORED PRIOR TO DEPARTURE SOUTH For Judge and Mrs. George F. Al- exander who are to spend the hol days in the States, Dr. and Mrs. W. W. Council were hosts at a small dinner party ‘Saturday eve- ning, followed by cards assembling the evening. Yesterday afternoon, Judge and Mrs.' Alexander were guests at an “at home” given at the Governor's house. Mrs. Alexander will sail south aboard the Princess Norah, in the States a short time later.

Who Wants to Be Slave to a Pill Box? Millions of people who used to be cathartic-slaves have found relief from common constipation—and from pills and purgatives, too! Keep regular as they do, with a NATURAL food laxa- tive—Kellogg’s All-Bran. All-Bran is not habit-forming. It supplies TWO things your intestines meeg. First, it's a good source of vita- min “B,"—the amazing vitamin that tones up your intestinal tract. Second, All-Bran provides “bulk”—it absorbs water and softens like a sponge. This ‘water-softened mass aids elimination. Kellogg’s All-Bran is a crunchy, toasted cereal. Eat it with milk or cream and fruits. In muffins it's deli- cious. But however you eat it, use it REGULARLY: eat two tablespoons of All-Bran and drink plenty of water. If you do this every day you can avoid on constipation and cathartics, too! Every grocer sells All-Bran. Made by XKellogg in Battle Creek.

Santa sat, in his armchair and said in a low voice, “Now tell me what it's all about.” Santa Asks Questions The captain twisted his hat. His little tin cheeks were pink. “Sir, is it the part of a gentleman and a ier to tell stories on some one else?” Santa’s eyes twinkled. “No, it isn’t, Guardsman,” he said “If that’s your trouble I'll excuse you from telling me.” But Santa is a wise man, so he had another plan. He said: “Supposing T ask you some ques- tions about what I'd like to do, and you tell me if the plan is wis “That I can do,” said the soldier. “Well, suppose I ask you and your company to stand guard tonight around Helga’s bed. Would that be wise?” “Sir, it would be quite wise, the soldier. “Well, Guardsman, can I trust you to stand guard then?” said Santa. “Quite, Sir,” said the tin soldier. So that night a guard of toy sol- diers was set to wait for the call of the white fox at midnight. said Tomerrow: The Fox Returns LEGION AUXILIARY TO MEET TOMORROW; PLAN FOR HOLIDAYS Plans for Christmas activities will be made at the meeting of the Am- erican Legion Auxiliary, tomorrow evening, when members assemble at the American Legion Dugout in regular session.

ANSWER: Canned Salmon’s Alaskan background isrich in romance. Canned Salmon advertising and publicity make full use of this fea- ture. Magazines, newspapers and a motion picture carry the roman- tic story of Alaska salmon’s background to millions of U. S. citi- zens.
