THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1921. iWarm Debate on , Appropriation For 'Dry' Agents Amendment Raising Total to $7,100,000 Is Adopted in House Plea for $100,000, 000 Is Turned Down. Washington, Jan. 12. The house fc-ent up and down the ladder in vot ing on appropriations for enforce ment of the prohibition law. First rejecting an amendment to the pending appropriation measure under which tli? bureau of internal revenue would be given $100,000,000 to fight the outlaw liquor traffic, the house adopted, 86 to 48, an amend ment by Representative Volstead of Minnesota, father of the law, in creasing the total from $6,500,000 to $7.H0,000. Before this vote was taken, the housa defeated an amend ment limiting the amount to $100, O00.00. There was a tinge of old-time pro hibition biterncss in the half hour debute preceding the clearing away of the question ns to how far con gress should go in making the coun try "bone dry." "Pleading for a larger sum than had been fixed by the appropriations committee in framing the legislative, executive and judicial" bill, Mr. Vol stead warned that the country would be heard front if it was the policy of congress' to cut down appropria tions and make the job of enforce ment a joke. Representative Gallivan, democrat, Massachusetts, proposed to make the appropriation $100,000,000. Tak ing up the statement of Mr. Vol stead that much, of the money would come back in fines, he said: f ;t. viri... T tc art ? limit. 1 1 V tlltS I'l It V. t - . .

The "hedg ing" practice in the future grain market is essential to millers as a stabilizing influence, F. M. Crosby, a miller of Minneapolis, declared be fore the house agriculture committee. It permits graiu to be bought on a narrower margin of profit, which nissns more money for the producer, he said. II. B. Harlan of Sioux Falls, S. D., told the committee that South Da kota bankers were against anything that would disturb existing market ing machinery. South Dakota farm ers have been passing through "dark days." he said, "but grain was be ginning to move." If nothing was done to disturb the marketing ma chinery, relief would soon be had, he thought. New Board Rejects Bids for Coynty Road Paving Contracts The board of county commission ers voted yesterday afternoon to re ject the bids on approximately $1,500,000 worth of county road paving contracts which were opened December 30. Civic bodies secured a restraining order in district court two hours be fore the bids were opened, prol ibit ing the board from awarding the contracts. This suit which was to have come up for hearing yesterday was post poned by District Judge Sears for one week. It will be dropped now, the cause of action having been re moved. All the commissioners except Mr. Neble, who was not present, voted to reject the bids. Chairman Unitt announced before the meeting started that no new ap pointments would be made at the meeting. A large number of posi tion hunters then left the room. Applications were read from Fred Bruning and Fred Anderson to be appointed superintendent of the County hospital and from Mrs. Cora Patton, incumbent, to be reap pointed.

That is certainly "spinning a web infernally fine." Did you ever read a little magazine ealled "The Silent Partner!" It will pay you to read it occasionally. One particular editorial should be posted upon the highways and byways of America. It offers some comparisons that are refreshing. Here are some extracts: Deliver me from the crab who is forever crawling backward and from the tree toad that is always yelling about the approaching storm. Lead me from the poor mut who is constantly harping about panics, profiteers and high prices. Give me the willing worker who sees things as they are and ia trying hard to improve them by his own service. All things are not right today, but nothing will be right unless we individually help to right them. Here we axe, all of us In America, surrounded by talking machines, hemmed in by oil paintings, carried by automobites, jollied by jazs bands, electrified by inventions, amused by moving pictures, exercised by golf clubs and tennis courts, enthused by ball games, transported by fast trains, employed by honest business men, given great farms, rich mines, free libraries, free schools, abun dant books, magazines, newspapers and the most bountiful crops in the history of this country here we are with silk aa common as cotton and everything everywhere coming down. Compare this condition with the wretched situation in the Old. Country, where counts in Vienna capitalise their evening, suits ' and become table waiters; where the arch duchesses are doing their own washing, where princes and princesses are but paupers is matters of money where in the winter of 1920-1921 there is no eoal because no trams are running, and no trains because there is no coaL Compare devastated France, wrecked Belgium, torn Italy, tired England, disorganized Germany, paralyzed Poland, mad-ridden Russia, busted Japan and snake-bitten Mexico, and then raise your voice to high heaven and be thankful that yon live in a country where you have a voice in helping make this the best admin istered government on the face of the earth.

I suppose it's because January brings a white sale as surely as it brings snowballs aad skating, and a white sale is every bit as exciting; Unmentionable But nevertheless the most al luring feature of the white sale is that part of it knows as "muslin underwear." And how homely and inadequate that benn seems when applied te tha. filmy creations they have in this department Why, hardly any of them are muslin! Half real, they seem, and Half Dreams That must be interpreted through a fineness of taste women have only lately cocao to appreciate. Silks and silken laces, nainsooks and soft smooth finished longelotha and batistes, combined with the daintiest of ribbons and made up in unique and individual style. It is no wonder, when I found myself in tbe midst of these pretty things that I gave myself up to transports of Delight For I've been completely set upon a dancing frock of pearl chiffon and that's an auto matic order - for tbe sweetest thing In lingerie skirts to be found. . Tbe one I chose is of white washable satin J net wide enough to tuck smoothly under the new skirts. There is a hemstitched ruffle of satin finished with tucked Georgette and wide val lace. Teddies A. white crepe de chine step-in bad a top of wide fitet lace and insertion in rose and scroll pattern, separated by a strip of Georgette embroidered in floral spray; there i3 a nar row filet lace finish at the bottom. Modest Kighties As smooth and soft and deli cately pink as tbe cheek of a rose. Some are white, too, and they are made up in Washable Satin and crepe de chine. I bought several of that delight ful "plain tailored" style and then I chose another for "week ends with a filet lace yoke and delicate ribbon bows on the shoulders. Material in them has been generously used and this, I have found, is a point in favor of wear as well as a guar antee of comfort. Boastful Of course I am most interested in the silk pretties just be cause I can't help it, but tbe nainsook, as well as tbe band made lingerie pieces of Philip pine embroidery, are absolute ly necessary in every woman's lingerie box. Little Tykes Have not been forgotten in this white sale. There Is a tempt ing collection of bargains in the infants' department on tha same floor. Tiny creepers of French dimity for toddling tots, trimmed in piquot edging of blue or pink, or tiny pinked ruffles. Almost as sweet ss tbe kiddies themselves. And just as It is in the muslin un derwear department, here yoe will find prices, reduced for this sale, to a point never touched before since th war. Why do they call them plain tailored? It must be because they hare no lace. But a truly elaborate envelope was deco rated with rows of tiny pin tucks set apart with lines of hemstitching. It was refresh ingly different, and quite aa ornate in its own way as some of those made up from laces and really, you can't have lace ' en everything.
