L TO TIGHTEN UP 50 Per Cent Present Permits to Be Renewed On Re stricted Basis No Music, Entertainment, Dancing PORTLAND, Ore., DM. 14. (AP) Tht Oregon liquor control com mis- ion announced Thursday that about 60 per cent of the retail beer li censes outstanding. If, and when, renewed for next year, will be on a "restricted bants." In addition, about 36 per cent of the licenses are being held up by the commission for zur ther Investigation, ' Thus will the commission write "dlninuendo" on the score of that universal theme song of the thirsty. A "restricted" license will be or dered In cases where the license op erates In a residential or semi -resi dential district. It will mean that there will be no music, no dancing and no entertainment.

(UP) A total of 113 persons are killed by automobiles ev. ery day In the United States, accord ing to figure received by William H. Hammond, manager of tho motor ve hicle operator,' and cliauffcura' li cense dlvlBlon. "The needless sacrifice each day of these Uvea by carelessness or a crare for speed should certainly bring us to our sense and develop a, realiza tion that the time has come for dras tlo action," Hammond aald. Paradoxically, although the traffic deatha are Increasing, safety cam palgna are becoming at the same time more successful, Hammond snld. Pub lic opinion Is growing rapidly on the auto accident problem, he declared. In 1933 the dally death rate In auto accident lu the nation was uu, Last year It had Increased to 87.

(Associated Preaa Photo) , GIRLS SLEEP BETTER THAN BOYS ASSERTS MEDIC AFTER STUDY ATLANTA, Oa. (UP) Dr.Olen ville Oiddings says It's time for the world to wake up about sleep. Dr. Oiddings Is a recognized au thority on sleeping habits snd has written several books about It. Recently he completed more than 160,000 hours of spying on children's sleep not personally, but by means of an electric gadget which automati cally keeps an eye on the sleeper. Here are some of his findings: The worst part of the night's sleep for a child . Is the first half hour, which Is marked by much toeslng around and adjusting. The best part of the night' sleep. when repose Is at a maximum, la the 00 minutes following the first half hour of adjustment. rem ales are much better sleepers than males. They go to sleep more quickly and sleep more soundly. under-eating before retiring has virtually no effect upon the night's repose. Over-eating, however, has a very marked effect, Interfering with sleep and mnklng the child restless. There Is no truth tn the old saying that a hot bath before bed will make you sleep. A hot bath has vir tually no effect. The same Is true of s cold bath. Physical exercise has little or no effect upon sleep. Sow Mothered Chickens BROADUS. Mont.

(UP) Production of gold In the Cripple Creek district will reach 16.000,000 during 1034, experts predicted as they watched the mining revival continue. There are approximately 123 mines operating in the district and ore shipments are averaging between 1,600 and 3,000 tons dally. To handle this large tonnage the Midland Terminal Railway has spent 26,000 improving its road bed and in the purchase of new equipment. The Golden Cycle mill place In op eration a new unit In Its flotation plant that will handle an additional 260 tons of ore dally. Prospectors, experienced mine op erators and tenderfeet have flocked Into the district by the score. Every available house In Cripple creek and Victor Is occupied. Many families are living In tents and barns while new houses are being erected. Eastern capital has displayed a sustained Interest ,ln the field.

By BOBBIN COONS HOLLYWOOD. (AP) Every year one of the film trade magazines takes a poll of Independent exhibitors and compiles a box-office rating list of stars. This yesr, as the result of the Mo tion Picture Herald's rating, many In Hollywood had their egoes deflated while & few who probably knew it anyway were told that they rated "tops" for box-office power. The magazine rates the 10 leaders as follows, In order of number of times exhibitors mentioned them among their "first 10": Will Rogers, Clark Gable, Janet Gaynor, Wallace Boery, Mae West. Joan Crawford. Blng Crosby, Shirley Temple, Marie Dressier and Norma Shearer. How They Fared The poll, Including pictures be tween September 1, 1633, and Sep tember 1, 1934, showed Catherine Hepburn Just outside the charmed circle, she rating elevents, followed by joe E. Brown, Claudette Colbert. Jean Harlow, Eddie Cantor1, Dick Powell and George Arllse In the or-i der named. Next In line were War ner Baxter, Whpeler and Woolscy, I James Cagney, Lionelt Barrymore, Marlon Davies, Buck Jones and ! Fredrlc March, Many well known stars, highly rated In Hollywood, came farther i down the list. Garbo, for instance, shares 29th place with Ann Harding, while Kay Francis. Robert Montgom ery. William Powell and Lee Tracy are ranked as somewhat better draws. Dick Powell and Ruby Keeler eaeh get better rating separately than aa a team, and the same la true of Janet Gaynor and Chsrles Farrell, Zasu Pitts and Slim Summerville, Dick Powell and Ginger Rogers, and Wil liam Powell and Myrna Loy. Year Makes Different The first conclusion might seem to be that many a "big name" draws a bigger salary than It is worth at the box office. But the second, refuting that, is the obvious fact that In such a poll one year can make a lot of dlf-i fere nee. I There la a perceptible shift from year to year in the "first 10." where the changes are more evident than In the lower rankings. One hit film may shoot n player from the bottom to a more satisfactory position. For Instance, this year Fred Astalre with a couple of featured roles gets some mention aa much as Ruth Chatter ton, Ellssa Landl, Adolphe Menjou and several others but after "The Gay Divorcee" the A sta Ire -dinger Rogers team is expected to be much higher next year.

"Polks In Oregon should not for get that they are In competition with other states in the showing made on the baby registration," said Dr. Frederick D. Strieker, secretary of the board.

STATE COMPETING IN BABY CENSUS Advices received today at the of fice of the Oregon state board of health In Portland showed that 17 states are carrying out "baby citi zenship" campaigns. These campaigns, POLICEMEN'S WEST POINT URGED AS CRIME CURB WASHINGTON, Dec. U. yp) Es tablishment of a "West Point" lor training police officers on a nation wide basis was endorsed today by the attorney-general's crime conference. The conference also voted to ask the states to strengthen their police resources, particularly In view of the "deplorable conditions" In existence. REVERSE JGLISII More People Than Ever Will Buy Tickets Is Belief of Irish, Hospital Officials Saving Is Expected DUBLIN. (UP) Britain's attempt to kill the Irish Hospitals Sweepstake, which puts millions of British money into Irish coffers, will have the oppo site effect, sweep officials here believe. Tney estimate, that it will save them some $2,500,000 on each sweep, and that more people than ever will buy tickets. Britain's attempt to ban the Irish sweepstakes was conalned In the bet ting and lotteries bill recently passed by parliament. Among other things, it curtailed gambling on dog and horse racing and specifically prohlb lted any publicity for largs sweeps. Buying Tickets Legal At the same time, however. It made It perfectly legal for a person to buy one or more tickets, so long as the British authorities are satisfied that they are for that person alone, and not for sale In Britain. Hitherto It has been Illegal even to buy a ticket, whether It was bought direct from Dublin, or from a British seller. Letters addressed to the sweep offices' have been returned to the senders. In the new year, however, they, will be permitted to go through so long as the postofflce authorities are sat isfied that the applications are for Individual senders. Open Malt At present. It is not quite clear how the postofflce officials will be able to prove this. It is expected that they will open any letters ad dressed to the sweep headquarters, and If the applications are for more than, eay, five or ten tickets, then the letter will be returned to the sender on the assumption that he or she could not reasonably want more than that numUer for their own use. The British attitude Is that the ban on any publicity, particularly the publication of the lists of prize win ners In the newspapers, will kill the Interest In the sweeps so far as Brit ain Is concerned. They also believe that the thousands of people who only buy one ten-shilling ticket, usu ally after much importuning by sell ing agents, will not go to the trouble of writing to Dublin for one. Qualms of Conscience On the other hand, the Irish sweep chiefs declare that since It will now be legal to buy a sweep ticket, very many people, hitherto prevented by qualms of conscience, will buy them. They also expect to save about half a million sterling on each sweep In prizes to sellers of winning tickets, commission to agents, and commis sion to sellers. Two more tickets hitherto free in every book of 12 can now be sold for 10 shillings each, making a saving of S833.333 on every 95,000,000 worth of tickets sold.
