He owned a small clothing store and did fairly well until the depression came on. His main con- cern was caring for his wife, who was suffering from heart trouble, and his four youngsters, ranging from 2 to 9 years of age. In 1929, however, busi- ness became slow. Mr. J. was no longer able to keep up the mortgage on his property and the mortgage on it was eventually foreclosed. In order to meet the bills of his business Mr. J. borrowed from every source, and when his cred- itors pressed him he became frantic. He knew only one thing—that his wife “toy matinees” ar- ranged by Warner Bros. in co-operation with The Star before the books closed yesterday for another year at “Santa Claus headquarters,” 1517 K street. “Not a child was overlooked among the thousands whose names we re- ceived,” said Miss Mary Edith Coulson of the Council of Social Agencies, who had charge of the distribution. Approximately 30,000 gifts were col- lected and handed out to destitute children through the K street head- quarters this year. Gifts Brought Later. Although the 12 “toy matinees,” ar- ranged by Warner Bros. in co-operation with The Star, were held December 17, gifts continued to pour in at the the- aters up to and through Christmas day.

My im- pression is that other members of the committee feel about this matter of hearings as I do. The bill may, how- ever, be referred to a subcommittee, and if it is I shall refer it to the subcom= mittee headed by Senator Blaine of Wisconsin, which already has before it the resolution for the repeal of the eighteenth amendment.” Would Rewrite Volstead Act. Senator Norris is convinced, he says, that the Congress can write a beer bill which will not be subject to attack on the grounds of constitutionality, with- out regard to the alcoholic content of the beer or its intoxicating qualities. He said that by the simple device of rewriting the Volstead act, and specify- ing in the act by name the liquors, like whisky, gin, etc., which are banned, without mentioning beer, there would be no law against the manufacture and sale of beer, and therefore it could be manufactured and sold. “The enforcement act could not be Previously acknowledged E.

OHIO INDIRECT TAXES URGED AS SCHOOL AID Tobacco and Soft-Drink Levies to Watson B. Miller. Maj. Frederick W. Be Proposed for Edu- cation Fund. By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, December 31— An attempt to hitch tobacco and soft drinks to Ohio’s well worn wagon of public school finances will be made in the State Legislature this Winter. Malt may be hustled into the har- n perhaps incomes and amusements, if recommendations of the | Ohio School Survey Commission are too, and Harold O'Connell forcement of the eighteenth amend- ment insist that any beverage which is intoxicating is in violation of the Constitution and should be banned. ‘Those who insist, like Senator Borah, that the enactment of legislation per- mitting the manufacture and sale of beer, is mere nullification of the Con- stitution, declare the proper manner of dealing with fhe question is the passage of a resolution to repeal or modify the eighteenth amendment. Indeed, many of these opponents of the beer bill, like Senator h, believe now that a resolution for repeal of the eighteenth amendment could be put through the two houses of Congress; if not the lame-duck session now meet- ing, certainly in the first session of the new Congress. It is the contention of these oppo- nents of the beer bill that the brewers “would not seek 3.2 per cent beer if it were not in fact intoxicating; that they could not compete with bootleg beer un- less the 3.2 per cent beer has a ‘kick’ in it.” Only Nine Weeks Remain. Senator Norris’ fears for delay in eon- nection with the beer bill are due in part to the fact that the beer bill, after it has been reported to the Senate by the Judiciary Commitee on its legal as- pects, will then go to the Senate Finance Committee. If the drys are unable to get hearings before the Judiciary Com- mittee, undoubtedly they will seek to have hearings by the Finance Com- mittee. Indeed, they may make such demand even if the Judiciary Commit- tee decides to hear them. ‘The Christmas holidays are supposed to end, so far as the Senate is con- cerned, when that body meets on Tues- Senate Seat.

Paraguay was blamed inferentially yesterday by the neutral commission Tepresenting American Hemisphere powers for interrupting direct peace ne- émltlunn with Bolivia to terminate the haco controversy. The commission requested advice from Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru, notified the League of Nations that its co-operation later may be invited and told Paraguay that despite the absence of her representative from Washing- ton negotiations would be continued directly with the Ascuncion and La Paz governments. In identical notes to the foreign min- isters of the four countries neighbors to the disputants, the commission ex- plained Paraguay’s “contradictory” po- sition on new peace proposals. The notes said it was inadmissable that a peace- ful solution cannot be found, and asked sociation will be held at Masonic Hall. 1 12" Wisconsin _ave.

Nine weeks of time in the Sen- ate is a mere nothing when it comes to delaying a final vote on the beer bill, particularly when it is remembered that the Senate has yet to take up any of the big annual appropriation bills for the next fiscal year, all of which it is hoped to write into law by March 4. Chairman Norris has only faint hope that there will be a quorum of the Ju- diciary Committee on hand tomorrow to consider the beer bill. Twice during the last week he called meetings of his com- mittee for this purpose and both times there was no quorum present. If he has no success With a quorum tomor- row, the Senator said, he will call an- other special meeting of the committee to deal with the beer bill later in the week. L3 : | heeded.
