SPEEDY RETURN
OF BEER URGED
ON COMMITTEE
Witnesses Assert Revenue
Will Be High, Industry’
Will Be Aided.
By United Pres*
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Legali
zation of beer that could be sold at
a nickel a glass would increase em
ployment and produce significant
new revenue, the house ways and
means committee was told today by
anti-prohibitionists, arguing for
quick modification of the Volstead
act.
Joseph Dilworth of Pittsburgh,
representing a banking and indus
trial subcommittee set up at one of
President Hoover’s conferences, told
the committee beer legalization
would stimulate capital expenditure.
He estimated Volstead act modifi
cation would mean a capital expen
diture of between $40,000,000 and
$50,000,000 in New York, Milwaukee,
St. Louis and Pittsburgh alone.
Sees Big Revenue
George P. McCade, representing
(he associated producers of cereal
beverages, said that modification
along the line of 2.75 per cent beer
and a tax of $5 a barrel would yield
the federal government a first year
revenue of $200,000,000. It would
permit sale of beer at 5 cents a
glass, he asserted.
Dillworth told the committee,
which hopes to round a modification
bill into shape for house action next
week, that indirect expenditures as
a result of a change in the Vol
stead act would run more than
$150,000,000 in the four cities.
Railroads, steel mills, and num
erous other industries would be
aided, he said.
Representative Horr (Rep., Wash.)
asked immediate modification, but
advised the committee to keep the
beer tax low, “to discourage the
consumption of hard liquor.”
Coopers Want Return
Edward Verdi, Hoboken, N. J.,
Associated Cooperage Industry,
asked beer legalization on behalf of
his industry, to stimulate business
and employment.
Representative Amlie (Rep., Wis.)
urged revision of the prohibition
laws, but recommended that each
state be allowed to deal as it saw
fit with alcoholic limitations of beer
and wine.
D. C. Fenner of the Mack-Inter
national Motor Truck Corporation
said that beer legalization would
“revive” the truck industry and
“return to employment thousands
of skilled workmen.”
"We in the motor trek industry,”
he said, “can see benefits for all
and burdens for none, and we ask
for the return of an industry which
for twenty years played such a
prominent part in the inauguration
and development of the motor
truck.”

“Now that," says Lieutenant Robert F. Carter, “is the ace of hearts. When I play that, don't trump it."
“Yes, my dear," Mrs. Carter replies, as if she had learned a thrilling new fact.
By Timet Special
NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—The thing
for a wife to do is to hold her
tongue—admittedly one of the
world’s most difficult feats. The
thing for a husband to do is to ad
mit he is not infallible, and then to
discuss his own errors and those of
his wife in as pleasant a tone as he
would discuss movies with his pretty
blond secretary.
It is as simple as that—this prob
lem of husband and wife playing
bridge together without endanger
ing the home. It isn't even neces
sary for the play to be universally
successful.
Games can be lost, tournaments
may come and go without the cap
ture of a single cup, and still all
will be harmony in the home if
these simples rules are observed.
The system has been tested fo'r
years by Lieutenant and Mrs. Rob
ert F. Carter, entrants in both the
national team-of-four and pair
championships of the American
Bridge League, played at the Ritz-
Carlton.
They are a young couple—he is a
West Point graduate, class of ’l9
and they have been married twelve
years. They have been playing
bridge eleven and one-half years.
It was six months after the wed
ding before Mrs. Carter got around
to teaching the lieutenant auction.
For the first few years they fol
lowed the convential husband
wife path. In other words, they
quarreled over the bridge table.
Then the great fight dawm*i.
They made the very routine, simple
discovery that if they would only
be as decent to each other as they
would be to any casual acquaint
ance, friend or stranger, they
couldn’t possibly get into a fight
How to Play Bridge
and Remain Married
For the Husband
1. Don’t yell at your wife.
2. Don’t blame your wife for
your errors.
4. Don’t think that a mar
riage certificate constitutes
appointment as a chain gang
boss.
5. When you teach her anew
bid, or point out an error, don’t
sputter, but simply talk intelli
gently.
For the Wife
1. Don’t insist on the last
word.
2. Let your husband “dom
inate” the play and bid the
psychics.
4. Don’t always remind him
you taught him how to play—
he’s probably taught you much
more since
5. Return courtesy with cour
tesy and a display of temper—
justified or unjustified—with a
smile, but not an insincere or
“superior” smile.
over who should have bid what and
why.
“My husband is the most courte
ous man in the world,” Mrs. Carter
explained today. “He had only to
be himself and everything worked
out fine.
"“Of course, I had a part to play.
I had to learn to control my tongue
when everything seemed to go
w r rong.
“I had to learn to keep from get
ting excited over trivial matters and
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
to realize that sometimes I might
be in the wrong.”
“We both make errors,” Lieuten
ant Carter acknowledged. “I learned
to admit that I might on occasion
be less than perfect. I even got to
the point where I would discuss my
own errors as fluently as Mrs. Car
ter’s.
“And when I learned to talk of
hers as tolerantly, as understand
ingly as my own, the battle was
o * r.”
“Os course,” said Mrs. Carter, “we
still have our moments. But they
are only moments. We can’t avoid
a few post-mortems, but we have
the post-mortens at once, and not
afetr we get home.”
And so today, though they rank
far down in the national tourna
ments, they are still each other’s
favorite bridge partner. Therein
they differ from nearly all the play
ers who enter the big tournaments.
P. Hal Sims and Mrs. P. Hal
Sims are both in the tournament,
but they are on different teams.
Ely Culbertson and his wife are not
playing together, though they have
done so in the past.
“Down at Camp Meade many of
ficers and their wives play together
in our frequent duplicate matches,”
said Mrs. Carter, “but few of them
get along as well as we do. And
it’s so very simple.”
The Carters have opinions on
other matters. They think New
York's champion players are among
the world's rudest people. Down in
Maryland people exchange intro
ductions when they shift tables at a
duplicate match.
They are more likely to glare in
the big tournaments —and the Car
ters don’t like that.
The largest telescopes of today
bring 300 trillion stars before mod
ern astronomers.

To be rid of a Cold
ABORT
(with lemon juice )
Often a cold that you thought all
gone—comes back! That's because
the remedy used does not drive the
cold symptoms from the system. Try
cold abortion and you'll find those
stubborn colds broken-up and gone
within a few hours. To abort a cold,
squeeze two full-sized lemons in a
glass of very hot water, to be taken
preferably at bedtime. Two hours
before, start taking a tablet of Pape's
cold compound each hour. After the
third tablet take the lemon juice
and hot water without sugar, and go
to bed, well-covered. Sound sleep
will follow, and the cold will be
aborted by morning. The lemon juice
treatment never fails, but you must
have the cold compound to clear the
head, dry the passages, and
allay any fever. Any druggist has
Pape’s cold compound; it is perfect
ly safe, and a tablet will check a
cold at any time.—Advertisement.
