Her eyes are as limid and spark

And they scatter a sheen of true Irish

And a coquettish dimple leaves a rift

Georgia Acts to
Return Fugitive
from Chain Gang
New Jersey Governor Indicates That
Attitude Is to Be Lenient .
. Was a Trusty.
Atlanta Georgia issued an official
request to New Jersey to- return Rob
ert Elliott Eurns, the state's most
publicized fugitive, to complete his
chain gang sentence for a $1.33 hold
up here in 1922. Governor Richard
B. Russell, Jr., late in the day sign
ed . requisition papers, and Harold
Hardy, warden of the Troup county
camp from which Burns-escaped in
1930, accompanied by Chief R. B.
Carter of the Troup county police, an
nounced- they were to leave New Jer
sey Thursday night.-
The papers will be presented to
Governor Moore at Trenton. Ho ha3
said he would hear the case "on its
merits" and had made no promtee
that he would -not return Burn3 to
Georgia. The governor expressed the
opinion, however, that Burns "has
probably served enough time for his
offense which I understand is miner."
A total of $500 in rewards was of
fered for the apprehension cf Burns
following upon : his second escape.
Ho first escaped from a Georgia chain
gang after serving a few months of
a six to ten year term and remained
a fugitive until 1929 when he was
taken into custody, in Chicago when
hi3 wife .informed officers of his
prison record.
Cov. Hardraan offered $200 reward
for Burns in January, 1931, which
was supplemented by $250 from
Troup county and $50 by the state
prison commission. The office of Gov.
Russell said hewas drawing a check
for the $200 offered by the state to
ba paid to arresting officers at New
ark "if the requisition is honored."
Warden- Hardy said Burn3 had
made many statements relative to his
treatment at the rTroup county camp
all of which he. said were "untrue."
He said that Burns wa3 never in

LET'S SING 'TIS CHRISTMAS
TIME!
The following article is taken
from the Nebraska Club Woman, of
ficial organ of Women's clubs in Ne
braska and was' written by Mrs.
F. J. Kotlar, chairman of music:
" Carols are hymns of praise; espec
ially hymns of 3 nativity sung in the
open at the Christmas season; in Ger
many " called I'Wiegen lieder;" in
Franco "Noels;' in England "Carols.-'
Carols' are songs of joy, exculta
tion, praise and devotion. In form
er timesIt was the custom of young
people to sing carol3 upon street cor
ners, doorsteps and in public halls, in
order to inspire' within the' heart3 of
their hearers the true meaning of the
Christmas message.
The revival of this beautiful cus
tom in the new world has met with
hearty response.' Outdoor carolling is
now thoroughly established in all
part3 of our country.
It arouses community epirit, stim
ulates musical - interest, utilize3 a
charming custom, and kindles true
Christmas sentiment."
Because Christmas is the festival
that brings us together in harmony,
there is very gdod reason why music
3hould become part 'of the feast.
Whether it be the glad song of
the carolers, the hannv blare of
trumpets, the jingling of sleigh bell3,
the roll of majestic organs or chimes,
it is the "Symphony of Christmas."
Let us do our p&rt arid sing!
"Carol brothers, carol
! Carol Joyfully ' ' .
Carol the good tidings "
Carol merrily." - -Christmas
carols will be sung in
Plattsmouth by the combined church
choirs of the city on Wednesday eve

Chicago. It takes a lot of hogs to
pay rent on the old farm-this year
when a choice COO pound animal
brings less than a ten dollar bill on
the open market. But tho veracity
of swine causes them to eat corn and
turn seven bushels into 100 pounds
of pork that doubles the price of
the corn. So a drove cf hogo looks

3.2 Per Cent Beer
Bill is Reported;
See Early Action
Separate Wine Measure to Ee Sent
Out by the Committee
Group Is Split.
Washington, Dec. 15. Modification
of tho Volstead law to permit the
manufacture and sale of beer of 3.2
per cent alcoholic content by weight
was approved today by the house
ways and meaii3 committee with a
swiftness of action that surprised
both its ardent supporters and avow
ed opponents.
The provision to legalizo wine was
eliminate dfrom the original Collier
bill, but tho committee agreed to
consider a separate measure at a
meeting probably .tomorrow which
would give the house an opportunity
to vote on the proposition.
Chairman Collier estimated that
the beer bill, if enacted, would "pro
vide 175 million dollars a year at
least, in revenue, and will go far to
ward balancing the budget." He
plans to call it up for house action
Tuesday. The vote ordering the bill
reported to tho house wa3 17 to 7,
with party lines split.
Although the roll call v.a3 not
made public, it was unofficially re
ported that 11 democrats and six
republicans voted for, and three dem
ocrats and four republicans voted
against. Two so-called "lame duck3,"
Representatives Hawley (Ore.) and
Timbeiiake (Colo.), republicans, vot
ed in epposition.
Provides -5 Tax.
As revised for reintrouueticn, the
bill calls fcr a 5 a barrel tax on a
barrel of bet-r of 31 gallons; in
creases the occupational tax or li
cense for breakers from one hundred
dollars to one thousand dollars; im
poses a $300 annual license fee on
wholesale distributors, and a $20 a
year licence fee on retailers. No re
strictions are provided for the sale
of the beverage, except such state
laws as exizt.
The committee directed Represen
tative Lea (dem., Cal.), leader of the
wire bloc, to introduce a wine bill
framcdiately after the committee ad
journed, the bill was dropped into
the v.'ine legalization proposal.
"At first, Chairman Collier report
od the committee had "reported out
a wine bill," but later corrected this
and said he had meant it had been
"left cut" cf the beer proposal
Senatp Committee Acts.
"We left it out in order that the
measure3 could be acted upon sep
arately," tha Mississippi democrat
said. "There i3 some question of con
stitutionality, and we thought it best
to consider them singly."
As Introduced, the Loa measure
provides for a levy cf 20 cents a gal
lon on naturally fermented and un
fortified wines.
Meanwhile, a senate judiciary sub
committee neared agreement on the
form of a resolution to repeal the
Eighteenth amendment calling for
federal protection to dry states. The
group will meet again tomorrow in
n effort to complete phrasing the
measure for submission to the full
committee.
Those unofficially reported as vot

ditures, promised to go before the city
bankers and plead for fund3. The
budget figure was $1,570,000 ,in ex
ccss cf the- CO millions arbitrarily set
by the citizens' committee several
weeks ago, but proved acceptable to
Sargent. The committee approved a
resolution pledging Jtself to stay
within the $51,570,000 budget after

action he would seek to procu.ro
money from Chicago banks to .pro

Paris. With Edouard Herriot re
fusing to lead a new government and
with her December debt payment In
default, France was struggling to
find new leaders, and President Al
bert Lebrun asked Camille Chau
temps, radical deputy, to try to get
together a ministry. M. Chautemps
at first declined, but on the insist
ence of the president he undertook
to see hi3 friends and report on what
he could do Friday.
He went straight to M. ITerriot
and, despite Hcrriot's categorical an
nouncement the previous day that he
would not enter a new ministry.
sought to make him change lite mind.
He offered the retiring premier the
foreign portfolio. It wa3 ecmi-offi-cially
announced that M. Kerrict had
declined. M. Chautemp3 then went
to eee other statesmen and apparent
ly he had the intention of making
another appeal to M. Herriot Friday.

M. Herriot authorized a statement,
that he believes France should and .
will pay her debts. His detailed posi
tion, he said, was clearly explained .
in tii3 text of the communication he
prepared for Washington and which,
he had hoped the French government
would be able to send to the United
States. He believes that there should
bo opened, without any delay nego
tiations for revision of the war debts.
He wanted, he said, to pay the De-,.
cember Interest with the understand
ing it would be deemed part of a
final agreement. M. Herriot's convic
tion 13 that if the December inter
est payment were met America would
bring about at an early date an exam- .
ination and revision of trance s debt.
Since the chamber of deputies' ad
verse debt decision, the French peo
ple show no difference in their atti
tude toward Americans. They are
polite, sometimes, however, with a
strain of embarrassment. The prin- -
cipal apprehension of the average
Frenchman seems to be that Amer
icans will feel that Frenchmen have
altered toward Americans. They some
times voice the fear that Americans
feel hurt.. State Journal. '" .
