Television
There has been u lot Huid and print
ed rbont television? seeing things ut
a distance. Muny people are expecting
that bfl'yrft lung they will Ik able lo
instal television receivers and wateh
baseball frames and other events with
out leaving their own fit'oM<les. I
have been trying U? find out, from
engineers jrud others in tlie radio
hdustry, what the real pros|>eei of
jraetieal television i??, and I do net
get iiuwfh encourngenn-uf for the be
lief that it is around the cor
ner.*1 Many of my technical friends
say that tin experimenters so far are
barking up the wrong tree, and th.tl
some entiiHy new jiK fhod will have
to be discovered or invented.
Ti is possible to lay, with a good
deal of expense ?>nd trouble, to nendj
a motion pieturo by radio over u\
diort dihtano?. so that ii will appear,
??oniewhat fiiekery, on a veiy small
ti'recn. But that is quite a different
thing from long-distance IriniHmisHion
of a view of something which is ac
tually occurring.

But thnl, I wum told, was the (secret.
Beauty is out of date, and things are
not what tiny &cem. True art must

JJow much of that attitude on the
pari of aspiring young artists is pose
and how much real I cannot deter
mine. I think it ih a passing phase,

That ha* a I way* been true. Fir.it
c;? io manpower is scarci- in every line
of effort. Thr world is full of second
raters, often holding down first-mS?
'jobs? for a while. During the boom
a great many second-rate and third
rate men tried to fill first- rate joliK.
and that wan one of the cause* of the
oeonomie crash. There never has been
enough first-rate manpower to do the
world's. work at> well a? it ought to be
done.

and donlt wear Mud. garb ?.<cipt on

J'rrhaps the extunplo which Mm
Ilfoover set, of wearing a cotton gown
to a formal part)-, will help dispel the
idea thnt to ha taken for a lady a
girl must always wear silk. Cotton
fabrics today are im beautiful a no
tasteful as anything the silkwo'-m

thing floi/ the pw.kotliooks of the
wane-earners and for the growers and

The annual fashion show presented
at t'ie Lyric Theatre on Tuesday

Prohibition
Is Discussed
By Politicians
(Special t?> TIm* Journal)
Washington, I). March 10. ? A?
the time for the Presidential nominat
ing conventions dmw? nearer, the
question of what the great parties
will ilo in their j hit forms on the sub
ject of Prohibition becomes a livelier
topie of <li-cits?i<io.
All of ilii' signs point to a declara
tion by the Democrat* in favor of a
rial tonal referendum on the repeal of
th?.? Eighteenth Amendment. Hut what
that would amount to it another
question. It wntfld hcljp net vote*
for the Democratic ticket among the
"w.'th/' beyond a doubt, but would
it drive "dr\" votes away from tho
party?
Tho argument of the Democratic
lenders is t hut tin* states where Pro-^
himtion hns itn principal strength aro
mostly "safi" Democratic stales, in
spite of tin* fact that Mr. lloover
eit'vicd most of them in 11)28. They
thit'L that it was Alfred E. Smith's
religion, rather than his wet procliv
itii>, that lo-t him the election, and
I hat with it wet Protestant candi
dal <? tilt "Solid South" will voto
Democratic regardless of the wet-dry
issue. Their effort, therefore, must bo
to ( apt u re the doubtful states, and
those, tlr\v contend, are mainly atatea
nhcro the wet sentiment is dominant.
Any ehringe in the Constitution
mupt be ratified by three-fourths of
tlm Stales, whether by their legisla
tuiw or by conventions specially
called for the purpose. There aro
forty-eight slatea, therefore 30 of
them would have to vote wet on thu
proposed referendum, if the Eigh-'
tcenth amendment is to be repeated.
If thirteen slates stand out against
repeal. Prohibition remains the law
of the land. And that more than
ii&teMI VijUttcH will never vote wet
IWMBftl II men of both
parlieH who have given this subject
the most thought.
The pro|?osed referendum, there
fore, it is pointed out, would bo
nothing but a vot;;-catehinn gesture,
but no chance thut it would accomp
lish its pretended purpose.
5h'. Hoover's wet friend# ? and
there lire plenty of wets 011 the Re
publican Hide of I li(! political fence?
are nrpriiiMT i> im more strenuously than
evir to come out, for homo sort of
modification or repent of Prohibition.
It is being urged upon him that tho
i 13 in Mil he i*m of Congress who signed
a fctitiou for it referendum include
'/0 Republicans ;ih against 60 Demo
cruts. The President's attitude is un
dendood to lie tlint h'- must he shown
a much gp-cater ileum ud from within
his own party and from tho nation
at large heforv he will ngreo that Pro
hibition repeal has f lit* overwhelming
public support which any radical
change in i lie Constitution ought to
harp to bo really effective.
The new revenue net, qh reported
to the House, takes notice of tho fact
that a hit of people mnke their own
"home-brew,'' by including n tax of
36 cents ii gallon on malt syrups, of bO
per cent on grape concentrutes, and
on "wort," ii wiurec of alcohol, of
five cents a gallon.
Ihe most far- ri iicbing angle of tho
new tax bill, however, will be tho
sale1, tux, tentutivily set at M and
one fourth pu cent, which will cover
(.very kind of manufactured goods
except certain cIiihscm of foodstuffs,
rehgiciiH -md educational articles and
books, newspapeis and magazines,
farm and garden products, seeds ami
fertilizer*. Kvrrv iniiniifacturer doing
us much as $ii0,000 of business n year
will be required to pay the sales tnx,
which is estimated to raise five mil
lion dollurs a year in revenue. Tliero
will bo a restoration of the tax on
amusements, iiicrcfccs in the ineomo
tax. taxes on telegraph, telephone and
cubic messages, an increase in tho
htoek transfer tax and a tax on lub
ricating oil, among other tilings, if
the bill g?es through as drafted.
SEED LOANS AVAILABLE
Congressman Weaver calls atten
tion to tho fact that under the Re
construction Finance Act individual
farmer* may. secure loans for the
puipr?s?? of making their crops. Each
farmer is cutitbd to a loan to be
.'"?ciii ed by ii|>pl vintr through the Dem
onstration Agent of each county, if
there is one, and a Committer of
three appointed by the Secretary of
Agriculture for each County.
