Drunken Drivers Head For Jail
.Enforcement of stiffer sentences against drunken or
drinking drivers of automobiles is the rule in many sections
of the country. Several State Legislatures have enacted new
laws and many cities and counties have rewritten local laws
to include mandatory prison sentences. In addition to fines
and prison terms a number of States require suspension of
^ curtvers’ licenses from a period of a few months to as much
as life.
Probably the stiffest penalty impose^ recently was that
by Mercer County, W. Va., criminal judge, John M. Mc-
Grath, who sentenced a youth to two years in prison and
ordered his driver’s permit revoked for life.
Another place which drinking drivers should give a wide
berth, is Ga. The Recorder in that city usually im-
. poses a fine of $200 or a six-month term in the "stockade, one
* or both—more often both.
* A jail term also awaits the drinking driver brought be-
fore the courts in Great Fqlls, Mont. An example there is seen
in the sentence of 100 days in jail and the loss of the driver’s
l license forever. As a warning, the courts slip the added infor-
mation that “if any person had been seriously injured, the
sentence would have been more severe.”
In Oregon compulsory jail sentences await the drunken
driver besides fines up to $1000, and examination by a phy-
sician is no longer required.
The Indtana Legislature at its last session enacted a
T — _aking a second or subsequent offense a felony punish-
able by a term of not less than one year or more than five
years and revocation of the driver’s license. The courts are
denied any power to suspend any sentence, whether for first,
second or subsequent offense. «
The North Carolina Legislature at its recent session
fl*ed a minimum of $50 fine and 30 days in jail for first of-
fehijers. A fine of $1,000 and two years in jail hangs over
second offenders.
'Alabama also has revised its laws to provide a fine of
$1,000 and six months in jail.
Under present laws in New Jersey drinking drivers au-
tomatically get two years’ suspension of license and a heavy
fiae.
A Denver woman convicted of being drunk while driving
a c$ir which killed a man, was sentenced by Judge Hicks to
five years in prison.
Sentences of ten days in jail plus a fine of $50 or 50 more
days in jail, is the example offered drinking drivers by Judge
Lewis in Utica, N. Y.
Judge Brachey, in Louisville, Ky., gives each driver nine
days in Jail plus a fine of $19, a sentence from which there
can be no appeal.
The Sacramento County, Calif., «upervisors have enact-
ed a county law imposing a fine of $500 and a six-month
jail term upon “anyone intoxicated in public to the detriment
an<£ danger of another person.”
L
Bad Legislation and Worse “Trading”
Bargaining maneuvers on the Black-Connery wages and
hour bill have brought a threat that the South might be sold
out for a few cents on the price of cotton. Several Southern
Congressmen have suggested that if the Roosevelt Adminis-
tration shall refuse to authorize crop loans, their representa-
tion in the House Rules Committee will be strong enough to
"hold up the wage-hour and housing measures.
Whatever the result of such legislative strong-arm tac-
tics, the South loses—unless both plans shall be blocked.
President Roosevelt already has expressed opposition to Fed-
eral crop loans unless ^ general crop-control program shall
beadoped. In the main, the Southern farmer’s present
tMjuhles may be blafhed directly upon crop-control, as it has
6een a big factor i£ cutting off his foreign markets. It has
added greatly to the public debt^-the size of which is dam-
aging to the United States’ credit. With its heavy cost to the
Government, it has increased the threat of inflation.
. "On the other hand, it generally is agreed that the South
wottld suffer most under t£e wages and hours bill. It assert-
edly is intended to raise living-standards, but would have
farm’laborers be exempt from the wage and hour provisions,
yet must consume inevitably would be raised by * enforced
pay-increases in the industries producing them. A five-man
Labor Standards Board, with excessive powers over both’ in-
terstate commerce and intrastate commerce in competition
would be charged with studying each industry and the op-
posite effect in Southern States. Many unskilled and setting
for #iat industry a maximum work-week and a minimum
wage. ?
• Such centralized control over the Nation's industries Is
obviously dangerous and undemocratic in principle. It would
.carry further the detrimental labor conditions fostered by
tfie Wagner Labor Relations Act. The industrial North and \
East might get some temporary benefit, but it would be at
the expense of the agricultural South and West. The now en-
couraging industrial trend southward would be arrested.
Bventually the lack of balance would work to the entire Na-
tion’s hurt.

WASHINGTON, D. C.—The
seventy-fifth congress has been
drawing toward the end of its first
session with none too salubrious an
outlook for Democratic peace in
the hereafter.
Approximately one-third of the
Democratic senators are in a state
of Insurrection against the White
House.
Cleavage In the ranks of Demo-
cratic representatives is not so ac-
curately definable. The propor-
tion of insurgents certainly is not
so large as in the senate, but the
number is considerable. More*
over, the malcontents are largely
influential old-timers. These gen-
try think they have their respec-
tive home districts sewed up tight
and are correspondingly disposed
to be independent

HARRISON BOLTS
Senator Harrison bolted the ad-
ministration, along with other
southern senators, on the wage-
hour bill, although it was passed
anyhow by a good majority. Har-
rison did it in no half-hearted
fashion, either, fjat can make as
cutting a speech as any individual
in the senate and he established a
record, even for himself, on the
wage-hour issue—against the ad-
ministration.
The Mississippi senator Is an
out-and-out loss to the New Deal-
er?, too. Statesmen like Senators
Glass, Byrd, Bailey and George
have been in revolt all along, but
Pat has supported New Deal poli-
cies, although no one considered
him in real sympathy with them.
Now he also has jumped the
reservation. Evidently his licking
(skimpy as It was) by administra-
tionists for the senate leadership
rankles In his breast far more
viciously than his pleasant smile at
the time indicated.

“HOW ABOUT,” someone
asked Zadok Dumbkopf today,
“the political situation in New
York? It seems the Big Town
is going to elect a mayor and
there are more candidates than
there are lights on Broadway.
Just who is what and why?”
* * *
“Simple as pie, that question,
to a mind like mine,” said Dum-
my. “Do you have a spare fag?
Good! We’ll start with the pres-
ent mayor, La Guardia, who is
running for re-election. He is or
was a Republican but is known
as Fusionist because he gets the
support of a lot of Democrats.
• * •
“Do you have a match?
Thanks! Then there is Senator
Copeland who is a Democrat but
is expected to get a lot of Repub-
lican support That means we
have La Guardia, a Democratic
Republican and Copeland a Re-
publican Democrat
• • •
“Clear and simple, isn’t is ?
There is another candidate for
the Democratic nomination and
he is Justice Jeremiah Mahoney.
Only, Tammany Hall doesn’t like
him or something so he is the
Democratic choice, it seems,
everywhere in New York but the
borough of Manhattan.
• • #
“Now we have La Guardia, tha
Democratic Republican; Cope-
land, the Republican Democrat,
and Mahoney, the Democratic
Democrat I haven’t seen a news-
paper today so I don’t know who
the Republican Republican can-
didate will be.”
Miss Rosa Hamblin, who has been
visiting the family of her uncle,
Judge Hamblin of Houston at Mor-
gan’s Point, arrived home today.
She was accompanied by Miss An-
nie Hamblin, her cousin, who will
pay her a return visit.

READ THIS FIRST:
.Vary Barrett, ambitious to become a
dress designer, has established herself
in Paris through a partnership with
Countess Anetka that was made possi-
ble by Mark Sutherland, an American
playboy she met on shipboard. Mary
likes Mark but misses Tony Castle,
owner of a smart New York shop who
gave her her start. She left the Castle
shop suddenly nearly three years pre-
viously after an altercation with Tony's
head buyer. More and more she real-
izes she is in love with Tony. Her
success in Paris has been phenomenal
and, thanks to Mari Barat, the name
she has assumed, Anetka's shop is
growing famous. Mark Sutherland, In
Paris again, tells Mary he has big plans
for her. Mark introduces Mary to a
prominent American fashion editor.
Claire Todd. Mary writes to Tony but
destroys the letter next morning.
Claire Todd decides to “discover" Mari
Barat for American fashion readers.
(NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY)
CHAPTER 22
CLAIRE SAID, “Hank Todd, if
you insist on taking that costume
home, I shall consider it grounds
for divorce.”
Hank tossed a handful of shirts
into a gladstone bag, snapped it
to and leaped over a chair.
“Woman, you may know worn
en’s fashions but you don't know
the first thing about What the
Well Dressed Man Prefers! I am
most certainly going to take back
those raspberry pants and that
fine orange shirt. When I appear
on the golf course at Westchester'
in that . . .”
“. . . the caddies will be looking
for the pot of gold.” Claire
laughed resignedly find rolled the
offending costume into a small
package. She stuffed it Into a
drawer of the trunk she was pack-
ing and looked at the clock on the
mantel.
“Oh, darling! I simply can’t go
without those gloves I promised
myself. You remember the shop?
Do you mind running down to get
them? I’ll be bathed, dressed and
ready for our last jaunt as soon
as you get back.”
A few minutes later, the last of
their three trunks was packed and
Claire had only one small suitcase
to finish. t
There was a discreet knock and
Mark Sutherland stood in the
doorway.
“Hello! What’s all this mean ?”
“Hello, Mark! It means that
the Todds are making one of their
usual, unexpected getaways. Hank
had a cable this morning that he’s
got to appear at a board meeting
and we find we can get a boat
from Southampton tomorrow, so
we re flying to England tonight.”
“Sorry you’re leaving so abrupt-
ly; I had some things planned.”
“So am I. You’ll find highball
things in the cabinet. Help your-
self and I'll be with you in a min-
ute. Husbands are nice to have,
Mark, but they’re really no help
at moments like this.”
“That’s because you've spoiled
him, Claire. You business women
are too independent.”
Claire sat back on her knees and
regarded him wordlessly for a few
minutes. -
“What's the matter, pet, my tie
the wrong color?” Mark asked.
“No, merely your attitude," she
replied, settling down with her
arms clasped around her -knees.
“Mothers going to have a heart-
to-heart talk with you, Mark.” .
Shoot,” he invited and (Soured
soda into his glass. “One for
you ?"
No, thanks ... Mark, you
knew Hank lomr before ,1 did.
Knew him in bfcmiatching' days:
larrfage
Would you s
wrong for him ? Would you say
that he was less, or more happy?”
“Well, now—”
Oh, come on. Mark, be serious
for once!”
“He looks as contented as the
proverbial cow to me.”
i d go so far as to bet you that
he’d even admit it. darling, and if
you remember Hank, he was the
lad who said there was absolutely
nothing in matrimony for a man'
who could afford a valet. Right?"
“Right." he agreed.
And he had everything you've
got. He had as much opportunity
for fun, as many means of having
his life made easy and comfort-
able."
“Ah, but he met you! A girl in
a thousand! And the female is
more deadly than the male, as we
have always been taught.”
“A girl in 10 thousand,'* she
corrected. “And nothing deadly
about me, I assure you."
“Didn’t I propose to you once
myself?”
“Yes, when you were 19 and had
no sense, and I was 17 and did
have! You know, Mark, I’m not
very different from most brides;
when I’m happy, I want every-
body else to be. I think I’ve been
good for Hank and I think a girl
with a head on her shoulders
would be good for you.”
Mark regarded her suspiciously.
“Mrs. Todd, what are you lead-
ing up to?"
‘Merely a suggestion,” she re-
turned amiably. “Merely a sug-
gestion that you get wise to your-
self and consider matrimony.
There’s more than one way of
having fun but you seem to have
stuck too close to the one way
you know.”
“Look here, you’re not planning
to divorce old Hank and set your
cap for me are you?” He pre-
tended to be appalled.
“Not if you were the last man
on earth!" she returned with an
companionship and you like her a
lot more than you admit* *-«vSi
“Not more than I’ve
to her.”
“Did you tell her you were Jn
love with her?”
Mark rocked with laughter.
"Claire, it must be this Paris air!
You girls who are as brittle Be
glass in New York go to pieces
when you get over here. Love!
Why should I mention it? I*m
not in love.”
“Well, you’re as near as you'll
ever come to it Take my

“Brooklyn.” he answered abaet-
! ly. “and that’s all I know about
j her." - ••
“She’s a gentlewoman, Mark,
which is more than can be eaftd for
a good number of the girts in «pr
i crowd. And don’t let me bam Ml

“It’s not that, Claire. R*s
How about this
I doubt if you
as a husband. I happen to have
a sentimental regard for you and
hoped to show you a way to give
yourself a break.”
“Thanks,” he said solemnly and
stirred the swizzle stick in his
was glass.
“To be specific:
girl, Mari Barat?”
“Oh, yes, how about her? I
meant to ask you that. You went
around to see her collection, didn’t
you?” «
“Yes, and liked it, but we’ll talk
about that later. By the way, I
told her I’d like to have her to
luncheon before I left. Please
will you tell her I'll drop her a
note? I'm not going to have time !
to get it off before 1 leave.”
She jumped up easily and made ‘
a note on a pad on her desk. Then
