Bierring "Abstinence Month" Observed by lowan Throughout January WASHINGTON, (IP) Senator Clyde L. Herring is observing January as "abstinence month." Since last Dec. 31, he disclosed to friends, no alcohol--not even the mildest brew--lias passed his lips. He has rigorously eschewed the solace of tobacco. He resists the lure of even the clearest of clear Havanas.

"I usually smoke a dozen or more cigars a day," he said, "and sometimes I take a highball or a glass of beer with friends. But just before New Year's eve I swore off liquor and tobacco for a month." This 30-day period of self-denial, the senator said, is an annual practice of 15-years' standing. H- He does it, he said, just to show, himself he can get along without either. When Herring was in Iowa recently his old friend. Dr.

Walter L. Bierring, state health commissioner, checked him over and told him he should cut down on the tempo of his activities in Washington. "I had been getting down to the office early in the morning and working hard," Herring said. "Not as early as when I was governor and sometimes reached my office at 6 o'clock in the morning, but still pretty early. I was making a good many speeches and doing a lot of other things just because people asked me to." recently, when he was in Philadelphia attending the meeting of a corporation board to which he belongs, friends there suggested that he let their family doctor look him over.

"He found my blood pressure was up to 180," the senator said, "but otherwise I was in good health. He advised me to take a rest for a couple of weeks to let the blood pressure go down." On his return to Washington from Philadelphia, the senator had his apartment telephone plugged and settled down to follow the doctor's advice. He went to Capitol Hill only a part of each afternoon to look in on the senate and to spend a few min- CLYDE L. HERRING utes in his office. "Today," he said, "my blood pressure is down to 150 over 70.

My physician here tells me my arteries appear to be rubber and not to worry, because I am in good condition." When the reciprocal tax bill was before the house last spring, Representative John Gwynne Waterloo) supported it. Differing from many other lawyers in the house, he defended the constitutionality of state taxation of federal salaries. A few weeks later the United States supreme court upheld the constitutionality of this principle. Gwynne now has introduced a bill to permit the president to veto portions of an appropriations bill. But Gwynne maintains its constitutionality in spite of opposite opinion among his colleagues.

And many of his friends in the house, remembering that he and the supreme court thought alike on the subject of reciprocal taxation, are inclined to believe he is rfight in this instance, too. Jack Watson, former Council Bluffs sports writer who is secretary- to Representative Ben Jensen was all a twitter when Kile Kinnick; Iowa's gift to all-American football, and his mentor, Dr. Eddie Anderson of the state university, were here to receive honors at a Touchdown club banquet. Watson followed Kinnick's and Anderson's movements closely. He was greatly interested in the luncheon arranged for them in the house dining room by Karl Hoffman.

S. U. I. alumni leader here. Watson even collected the price of the meal from each guest.

But when it came time to sit down, he had to eat elsewhere; all the places at the table had been taken. CHURCH SERVICES HELD POPEJOY--The Rev. W. J. Snarr, Methodist pastor, began holding evening church services Sunday night.

From the Music Shop B.v ANDY WOOLFRIES Richard Wagner, creator of German opera, sincerely believed that the world owed him Ihe finest kind of living.

When his friends refused the "privilege" of loaning i substantial of money, his scorn was nothing less than regal. Bankrupt, he dressed in only the finest clothes. He wore silk underwear because, he explained, any other material was too coarse to touch his delicate skin. Here is a contemporary description of Wagner's appearance: "He wore snow "white trousers, a sky-blue tail coat with large gold buttons, projecting cuffs, nn extremely high black top hat with a narrow brim: he carried a stick as high as himself with a huge gold knob, and topped it all off with bright yellow gloves." Nevertheless, Wagner's genius is undoubted. He wrote words and music for such monumental works as Tannhauser Lohengrin and the Rins of the Nibelung.

His influence in (he world of is comparable to that of Goethe and Shakespeare in literature. Next article: How diil ice cream help launch a. great musical career? Funeral Conducted for E. J. Roberts, 81.
