Schacht is known to be an enemy of the present agreement and an advocate of still easier terms by threat of possible repudiation. Financial Interests with a Tam many hookup are egging on the pa tronage, battle between Farley and Tammany. They figure It will be one more thorn in Mr. Roosevelt's side to distract his attention from measures which might affect them. This battle has developed some funny maneuvers at Albany. Tam many senators joined . unanimously In a vote to confer the patronage privileges on Majority Whip Dunnl gan -a Farley alley and take them away from Senate Clerk O'Connell who works with Curry. It looked like a beautiful peace gesture. But the senate "foroRt" to revoke O'Connell's authority before the bill had the gov ernor's signature and O'Connell went ahead with his appointments Ignor ing Farley's wishes. Thore Is little chance that the appointments will be nullified and Farley's only consola tion will come In a flood of flowery oratory. This incident has heightened the tension between the battling wings of the state party. There is reason to believe that Farley will ignore Curry entirely when it comes to dispensing the valuable federal patronage. That won't help Curry next fall.

Some of the common claims we read favoring Old King Alcohol Is that m the ' '90's we had good whiskey." Whiskey was In 1890 what it Is in 1933, viz, a "narcotic poison." The only difference, in fact, is our com mon knowledge of the destroying ef fects of alcohol, a narcotic drug. Another common misnomer em ployed by Intellectuals as well as by the ignorant. Is the rather common place expression, "poison alcohol." Would It not be quite as correct to say "poison strychnine"? Duncan Clark, editorial writer tor the Chicago News, in a speech said: "Well, I know something about beer back In the so-called 'good old wet days' when beer was lawful. I was police reporter for a while on a morning paper in an American city of about 300.000 population. It was my business to gather news of crime, of vice, of underworld activities. "I remember that lawful beer played a large part in making that news. It was irreparably mixed up with the brew of lawlessness, of vio lence, of Indecency and corruption, out of which came the happenings that made sensational Items for the newspapers. I did not notice that beer was making anybody prosperous but the brewers and the saloon keep ers. I did notice that it was making a lot of folks poor. I did notice that It was breaking up homes. I did notice that it was destroying the worth of fatherhood and demoralizing the values of motherhood." Farther along In Duncan Clark's talk he stated: "Let nobody tell you that beer is not Intoxicating. I have seen men (and women too) drunk on beer. I have seen them become morose, quarrelsome, ugly tempered, and fighting stupid on beer. More over, beer with Its milder alcoholic content, Is the appetizer for more ardent liquors. Alcohol Is a habit forming narcotic drug." Next week we hope to discuss and enlighten you as to the TRUE pur pose of the W. C. T. U, It's "declara tion of principles" which have been adhered to closely; and put some of our really good friends at rights as to the reason for our existence for more than 60 years. 4 Visitors welcome at our 10:15 Sat. morning Tap-Acrobatic class.

(AP) The men's-pan ts-for-women question has bobbed up here ftgaln from new quarters and on the negative side. Just before she left for a v.' sit In New York, Katharine Hepburn a sort of pioneer with Martens Dletrloh tn the pants mode satd she is giving up her trousers because she start-ad wearing them n.erely for comfort, and there got to be too much talk and publicity about it. Meanwhile, Jack L Warner, vice president of the Warner Brothers First National studio, issued an or der that the actresses working for him are not to appear either in pic tures or In public In mannish attlr He described such dress as "a freak ish fad which will pass even more quickly than it started." and satd "'we have learned that the public generally Is emph&tlo In .'ts disap proval." The order applies to such actresses as Ruth Chatterton, Bebe Danleli. Loretta Young. Bctte Davis. Barbara Stanwyck. Kay Francis, Joan Blon dell and Ruby Keeler (Mrs. Al Jol-son).
