ORYISSUE BEFORE AUSTRALIN STAT Balloting in Victoria Tomor- row Will Cost Public and Parties Heavily. By the Associated Press. AMERICAN TYPE Long Dress Wear Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 28 (N. A. N. A).| —Upon his arrival in New York, Jean | MELBOURNE, Victoria, March 28.— For the first time in the history of this | state residents tomorrow will vote on | prohibition of alcoholic liquors, the re- | sult to be binding on the whole state | and not on its individual parts. Wets will vote no and drys will vote yes. | The campaign has been greatly in- | tensified during the past few weeks. It | is estimated that the wets have spent £140,000 and the drys £40,000. The | poll will cost the government £25,000. The name of the United States has figured prominently in propaganda which has flooded every corner of the | state. Every effort has been exhausted in_the most intensive and most widely- talked-of poll ever held in Victoria. INDIANS STILL USE STONE STACK AS ‘POST OFFICE’ 0 (#).—An ancient Indian “post office,”” where modern red men still post their “letters,” is just off the Lewis and Clark trail in the Sel- way National Forest. The “post office” is as large as a city | Jot, and looks much like a city lot with | curfous collections of rubbish and rocks. Indians passing by have piled up strange | little mounds of stones and pebbles, the significance of which is understood by no_white man. Other “letters” are formed by com- binations of flat stones, each meaning something to the red man who reads the sign language of the Northwest tribes. ‘There is also a “he-he” stick at the t office.” No white man knows what LEWISTON, Id: Patou, the French couturier, was quoted as saying the American women’s mode of dressing was all wrong. Asked for further comment on this judgment, he said: “I was probably misunderstood. I was told American women did not favor the new styles, because they did not give them freedom of movement when participating in popular sports and other modern activities. “For instance, it was pointed out to me that a long skirt would greatly hin- der a woman in properly driving an au- tomobile. A woman playing tennis would look ridiculous wielding a racquet while dressed in a long flowing skirt. | “When I hear this, 1ay only remark | was, ‘to adapt long skirts for day and RESIGNATION IS ASKED Davis Requests Philippine Postal Head to Quit. MANILA, March 28 (#)—Gov. Gen. Dwight F. Davis, in rendering a deci- sion on the administrative phase of the case of Jose Topacio, director of posu.l who is charged with various irregulari- | ties in office, yesterday requested the | resignation of the postal official. | The governor general said Topacio | had lost the confidence of his superior, | Secretary Peres of the Department of | Commerce and Communications. | Davis carefully avoided passing on the | gullt or innocence of Topacio. iy Increases Gift to Museum. SPRINGFIELD, Ill., March 28 (P).— Julius Rosenwald, Chis hilanthro- the stick means, but no Northwest Indian ever passes one without leaving some token. cago p! pist, has increased his $3,000,000 gift to the Chicago Museum of Science and In- dustry to $5,000,000. Cc-8 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1930. S5 IS HELD IDEAL MODERN FIGURE BY DESIGNER Patou Defends Fashion Edict Calling for for Evcning Only. i evening was a mistake. There should be some discrimination. For morning and sports wear the dress should be ex- actly knee-length. For afternoon it is correct for the dress to be three inches lower. For evening the gown may be ankle length or worn with a train which may be taken up over the arm.” “The new styles are particularly well suited to the Latin silhouette, but they are also very successful with the true American type, whose lines can be prop- erly termed the ideal modern figure.” (Copyright. 1930.)

In Germany alone since the World War nearly 80 opera houses have flourished, he said, while the United States only has two well established opera houses, the Met- ropolitan and the Chicago Civic Qpera. The solution of the problem lies in the music teachers working”for the es- tablishment of State music centers, conducted by the best musicians in the State, for the benefit of State audiences and State talent, he said. These music centers should have an opera company and an orchestra, and they should be suitably housed, he continued. Card Sharps Play Solitaire.

Charged with Laziness— Guilty Simply of Acidity! More than one man today is mis- judged and unjustly penalized because of & not understood physical condition rather than any lack of willingness or ability. So many of us are only half our- selves, only fifty per cent efficient, be- cause we are victims of an insidious condition of acidity! Thni persistent tired feeling—that clouded mind— that lack of dash and fire—that miss- ing punch that decides so many situ- ations in business—are all usually due to an acid system. Acidity is brought on by our un- ite called Magnesia Oxoids which do not have to be chewed, but may be swal- lowed whole. Magnesia Oxoids, upon contact with the acid in the stomach, generate nascent, gy active, azygen, Now, active Oxoids supply them natural manner.
