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

AP6RUP
Minneapolis Miller
Defends "Hedging"
Washington. Jan. 12. 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. Mail Pilots File Protest
Against Colonel Jordan
San Francisco, Jan. 12. Seven
pilots of the aerial mail service here
notified Frank N. Silva, United
States district attorney, that they had
sent to Postmaster General Burleson
a joint telegram protesting against
certain activities of Col. John A.
Jordan, head of the service between
San Francisco and Salt Lake.
Five-Year-Old Boy Hurt

Mrs. Clyde W. Drew, 310 South
Fifty-third street, and three com
panions, narrowly escaped serious

r Where Comparisons Are Refreshing
Read This
To Your Disconsolate Neighbors
The disconsolate fear breeders have all been distanced by
one who figures that the year 1921 will prove a bad year
for the reason that the total of the several figures makes
13. 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.

Speaking o
WHITE
THINGS
It doesn't seem Quito consis
tent, but it's true just the same,
that as soon as January snows
come I begin to think about
whit things for summer. 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.
