THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, D. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1932. PICKETT RIDICULES BEER TAX PARADE Suggests to Walker That | Brewers and Distillers | Lead Procession. Mayor James J. Walker's proposal & “beer for taxation” parade on May 4 has drawn an “open letter” from Deets Pickett, research secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, con- hlnln{ suggestions as to who should be included in the march “Have the brewers and distillers lead our parade,” Pickett wrote the New ‘ork mayor last night. “* * * It might be well to have them particularly identified by large diamond studs in their shirts. Their limousines will make @ great show. “Next should come the saloonkeep- ers, or, since, I believe, that is to be a forbidden word, the proprietors of the liquor stores which are to retail the beer. * ¢ * Following the saloonkeepers should he the machine politicians.” Pickett suggested that ‘“bootleggers and speakeasy proprietors who would find it simple to get their supplies from the places of licensed sale” might come in line then. “Next,” he wrote, “let me suggest that you have the poor devils who drink the stuff * * “Then, just as a touch of sentiment | and not because they have any partic- ular right in the parade, suppose you let the wives and children of these drunkards tag along behind. I know they will be ragged, wearing broken shoes and their faces will be thin and worn, but after all they deserve some consideration because it is the money which comes to them under prohibition | which the drunkard will spend to the saloonkeeper and which the saloon- keeper will contribute through the| brewer and distiller to the Government. “You might have a float in this part | of the parade. It should be a washtub. It's the women bending over the wash- tub who are the great support of the | liguor bustness, legal and illegal.” Ex-Kaiser's Kin Marries. BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 20 (#).— Count. Joachim Aldensleben-Schoen- born, nephew of the former Emperor Wilhelm of Germany, was married here yesterday to the Hungarian actress, Gizi Kaszonyl.

The Y finds her a suitable place to stay when she first comes to the city, shows her how to use her leisure time wisely by joining a club or a team or a class, furnishes recrea- tion for her—music. games, trips, lectures—and finds her friends and companionship Incidentally, under the guid- ance of the Y.

In a previous case the commission had exercised regulatory power over a securities issue, taking this action orn the Conowingo project, where the State of Pennsylvania one of the parties does not exercise jurisdiction over secur- ities of utilities. ‘The commission action in Florida re- sults from the fact that Florida has no agency to take such jurisdiction ‘ : = HER STOMACH COULD NOT DIGEST MEAT “I had gas bloating and indiges- tion so bad I could not digest meat I took Adlerika and now I am al- right.

The train received such instant and tremendous acclaim that we decided also to air-condition the NaTioNAL LiMiTED and CarrroL LimiTeD, two of the finest trains run- ning between the East and the West. Today will mark the initial run of the NarioNar Limiten as a completely air-conditioned train. And by the middle of next month the Caprror LimiTep will be similarly equipped. Beginning today, you can travel to Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Springfield, Louisville, or St. Louis, in the utmost comfort, no matter how hot and sultry the weather outside. Every car on the air- conditioned NationaL Limitep will be refresh- ingly cool, clean, and quiet. Fresh air is constantly drawn in from the out- side; dust, soot and smoke are removed; un- pleasant summer humidity is corrected; the clean, keep impurities from entering, and add greatly to the quietness inside the cars. We invite you aboard the NatioNaL Livitep for your next trip West. You will experience the greatest comfort you have ever known in rail- road travel. Besides this new feature of air- conditioning, we believe you will enjoy the appointments of the sunroom-observation-lounge car, club car, Colonial diner, and parlor cars, and the helpful attitude of the train personnel— stewards, train secretary, maid-manicure, and barber-valet.
