IV I net AIN'T NO mystery, 1 Powers Awaiting ladies and gemmen all this talk about why women are and beer gardens. All the police inspectors and the witness stands of the nation that the wimmin question is the tackle in the return of the legalized saloon. They seem to think that somebody is to blame, but they don seem to know just who. The women are to blame. And I don't mean the dizzy places.

I mean all the women, woman suffrage back before the war days. They said if woman could have a vote she would clean up all civic corruption. Just let 'em vote and Utopia was on the way I Like Prohibition, that was Sure, I voted for woman suffrage so I'm as much to blame as anybody. We all forgot that that women are human beings human species. They wanted equal suffrage they got it.

As one of the characters in Charlie Hoyt's, "A Contented Woman," remarked on that subject, "Here's to the women, God bless 1938) in barrooms, cocktail lounges social workers parade across and say, over and over again, biggest problem they have to That easy: dames who'haner around these who campaigned so heartily for World War and during the another dream. women are just women, and with all the faults of the equals. 13EFORE THE World War women did not vote. That was strictly the prerogative of the male of the species. The politician could reach the women only in directly.

They could influence their husbands, fathers, broth ers, or what have you, but they could not go to the polls directly. Then came the war with all hideous horrors and the upsetting of all our lives. The women did heroic work. The sex was taken down off its pedestal of thousands of years and was made wholly human, i Woman place was no longer the home. It was anywhere she wanted to hang her coat, not her hat.

She was economically independent. So, the year of our Lord 1920, the Woman Suffrage Amendment was added to our Constitution. Now the woman vote was something to be considered. No politician, no policeman, could tell HER what to do. Before that, before the war, the police commissioner could issue an edict that any saloon cafe or place of any kind Please Turn to Page 3 Column 7 Drivers Warned About Auto Tags Illegal Plate Dealer Forced to Close Hoyt E.

Morris, manager of the Secretary of State's offices in the Detroit district, issued a warning Saturday that unauthorized persons would not be permitted to open fly-by-night places for the sale of 1938 auto-license plates in the few days remaining before the March 1 deadline on 1937 tags. One such place was ordered closed Saturday and Manager Morris prepared to take prompt action to prevent opening of others. It is illegal for any person not appointed by the Secretary of State to sell or traffic in auto license plates in any manner. "We have 31 branches in this district and all of them will be open long after regular hours dur ing the rush period, said Manager Morris. "These fly-by-nlght brokers will not be tolerated.

I will enlist the aid of the State Police to close every such place promptly. Four Scientists Off Arctic Floe Data on Air Route to Is Saved by Rescue Ships Nine-Month Voyage from Pole Is Ended MOSCOW, Feb. 19 (A.P.) Two sturdy vessels smashed through a field of pack Ice 10 feet deep today and rescued the four Russian explorers who had risked their lives for science from their drifting ice camp off the eastern coast of Greenland. The rescue, just two days short of nine months after the four men were established a dozen miles from the North Pole, ended an odyssey In which the scientists voyaged more than 1,000 miles of Arctic seas on a raft of Ice. Their valuable records and equipment also were saved.

Odyssey Costs 13 Lives While the exploit ended happily for the four, 13 lives were lost when a Soviet dirigible crashed Feb. 6 In an experimental flight preparatory to a rescue attempt. A terse radio message from the rescue expedition announced: "Papanin, Fedoroff, Shlrshoff and Krenkel, with all equipment, removed from Ice floe by Taimyr and Murman, which are proceed' ing to Murmansk." It meant that the Icebreakers Taimyr and Murman had battered their way through three miles of jammed ice and had picked up Ivan Papanin, 45 years old, chief of the camp, and his three col leagues Eugene tedcroff, Z8, astronomer; Peter Shirshoff, 34, marine biologist, and Ernest Krenkel, 34, their radio operator. The two vessels had reached the three-mile striking distance only after days of maneuvering against shifting fields of Ice and tricky Arctic currents. Celebration on Ship There were gay celebrations aboard both ships.

Josef Stalin, Russia's dictator, was kept Informed by a radio operator, whose first message to the big chief was, "The Papanites are now taking a bath." Along with the men and equipment, the rescue party was bringing back meteorological and hydro-graphic records compiled by the scientists In their lonely, hazard ous vigil through the long Arctic night data to help the Soviet Union in plans to establish regular transpolar flights from Russia to the United States. The campers had hoped to re main near the Pole for a full year of scientific research, but a shift of their icy camping ground dur ing the summer launched them on their long voyage, powerless in the grip of currents. Their home had been a 10 by 6 foot portable shack, fur lined against the bitter cold. Their food was mostly concentrated, the meat of 5,000 chickens and milk. Sausages festooned the interior of their home.

Radio Reports Projrrem Day by day their radio' station, with Krenkel at the controls, crackled out reports on their changing position and the progress of their highly circumscribed life. Down toward the eastern coast of Greenland they drifted. A polar gale broke up the large floe that had been their original camping ground and they took refuge on a 100 by 160 foot fragment. Another gale struck their new camp and ripped apart the silk tent that had been their emergency shelter. The radio antenna mast that had been a tentpole was toppled over.

Hastily the men dug a new shelter into the ice and set up their radio again. The scientists shook dice to determine which should leave their ice cake first. The dice decided that the scientific equipment, Shirshov and should go abroad the Taimlr. Papanin and Krenkel went aboard the Murman. Hurt in Fall on Ice Jack Osterday, 32 years old, was in Receiving Hospital Saturday for treatment of a broken pelvis.

He slipped on the icy pavement at W. Hancock and Third Ave. only when an auditor had checked the books. Mrs. Appel said that the money had been used for gambling, clothes and an automobile, and that while she sometimes won in gambling it was never quite enough to cover her shortages, according to hirien.

She obtained the money, O'Brien said, by raising checks and cash ing company checks. Mrs. Appel said that she would frequently change a $5 check to $105 and often cashed blank checks which had been sifrned by Eland In the course of the company business.

for Nazi British Chamberlain Deal with Duce Is Seen Laborite Accuses Him of Fascist Bias in Foreign Policy Eden Likely to Quit and Upset Premier LONDON. Feb. 19 (A. P.I Anthony Eden, holding out in the British Cabinet against a "deal" with Mussolini, was reported reliably tonight as ready to resign as foreign minister in a broak with Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and his policy of IUlo-British accord. Absence of Eden from the Cabinet would strike a severe blow to the Government's support.

"The White Knight of Geneva," who refuses to be swerved from the League of Nations way, commands strong Conservative back ing that might split the country's dominant party. Others Ready to Quit One reliable source reported that two Conservative Cabinet members, Minister of Agriculture William Morrison and Walter Elliot, secretary of state for Scotland, had stated flatly that they supported Eden, leading to a be lief that they would resign If the foreign secretary quit. The Cabinet was held virtually on an emergency basis. It recessed the first full meeting on a Saturday since the abdication crisis with Instructions to return for an even rarer Sunday council session tomorrow at 3 p. m.

(10 a Detroit time), immediately after Hitlers pronouncement in the Reichstag. The ministers were faced with a momentous decision on British policy toward Nazificatlon of Austria. Laborite Charges "Deal One of Britain's outstanding labor leaders had urged Eden to resign from the Cabinet In de fiance of any "humiliating deal" between ChRmberlain and Musso lini. Herbert Morrison, former cab inet minister and secretary of the London Labor Party, declared that Eden was "a prisoner of his reactionary colleagues. Morrison accused Chamberlain of a bias In favor of dictators.

"If the Prime Minister is try ing to do a humiliating deal with Signor Mussolini on the basis of that gentleman's continuing his war upon the liberties of the Span ish people, then Mr. Eden, if he has any self-respect left, will re sign and cease to act as a smokescreen for those of his colleagues who are determined to subordinate British security and peace of the world to Fascist foreign policy," Morrison said. Not Very Brilliant "If Herr Hitler and Signor Mus solini are capable of cheating each other as they have done during recent weeks, then they certainly are capable of cheating our own not very brilliant Cabinet." Chamberlain bid for friendship with Italy apparently had left France alone to take the lead In sny effort to check expansion of German Influence in Austria. Liberal and Laborite spokemen expressed fear that Chamberlain was about ready to recognize II Duce's conquest of Ethiopia as a part of friendship negotiations. Duce Plays Both Ends ROME, Feb.

19 (U.P.) Premier Benito Mussolini was understood tonight to be taking steps to Insure that Italy would not be diplomatically isolated if the German domination of Austria should oblige Italy to make further concessions to Adolf Hitler's ambitions in Central Europe. These steps were believed to be closely linked with the suddenly rejuvenated Anglo-Italian conversations, although Fascist spokesmen denied that these conversations in any way affect the Rome-Berlin axis. Fascist circles were outwardly calm but Inwardly disquieted by the awkward possibilities of Germany's new Austrian policy. New Maid Cleans Up; Disappears with Loot CHICAGO, Feb. 19 (A.

DickWhiting, from Detroit, By Edgar A. Guest, Jr. Richard' A. Whiting, famous American popular-song writer for more than a quarter of a century, died In his home in Beverly Hills, at :45 a. m.

Saturday after an illness of almost a year. He was 48 years old. Although a native of Peoria, Whiting claimed Detroit as hia home, for it was here that he married the former Eleanor Young- blood and here that he established himself as a topflight song writer. When Jerome Remick, publish er, heard Whiting's first composi tion "Tulip Time in Holland, he made Whiting manager of his De troit branch office. Later Whiting turned out many of his Broadway musical scores here.

He Is perhaps best known among the younger generation for the songs he did most recently for the motion picture studios, among them "Have You Got Any Castles, BabyT" "I'm Workin' My Way Through College," "When Did You Leave Heaven?" and "You re Just Too Marvelous for Words." Old timers will remember Whiting every time they gather around the piano, for it was Dick who gave them We Meet Again," without which no impromptu song' test is considered official. Wrote War Song Do you remember "Mammy's Little Coal Black Rose?" That was Dick's, too. 'Till We Meet Again" was introduced by Grace La Rue, who sang It from coast to coast at the time of the World War. The public was ready for a song at that time that expressed their feelings as the boys sailed for France, and 'Till We Meet Again" was that song. It sold over 6,000,000 copies.

One day Dick was sprawled out on the sofa In the living room of his Detroit home In the throes of composition. Most of his work was created while he was away from the piano on the davenport or on the golf course. On this particular day Dick waa trying to fit a melody to a set of lyrics which had been intended for the song "Allah's Holiday." Geta an Inspiration "I couldn't get 'Allah's Holiday" out of my mind," Dick said, "and every melody I tried was more or less based on that tune. I was stumped. It was late in the after noon and the kids were parading by the house on their way home from school.

Suddenly I heard one boy whistle to his pal Just the ordinary two-note standard whistle.

Fort had tossed a bundle of cigars containing two 110 bills on his desk. Williams said that he had summoned Mrs. Yonoskl to the station last July 18 and had told her of complaints that intoxicated persons were being served at her place.

"As the bartender w-as leaving," Williams said, "he turned and tossed four cigars on the desk.

They were held together with a rubber band. When I opened them there were two $10 bills In the center. "I sent some of the men out and they brought the bartender back. When I asked him about the bills he laughed." The Inspector said that Mandrick refused to admit he had intended the money as a bribe. "I locked him up for three days," Williams said, "and made a report of the Incident in the regular precinct report and also reported to the Liquor Commission.

As a result, Mrs. Yanoski's license was revoked." Frahm said that the report did appear in the regular precinct report, but that he had not read it last July. Can't Afford a Holdup, So He Chases Bandit SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 19 (A.P.) Druggist W. H.

19-The feflllng is rapidly growing in un-pvss that the slowing down of the automobile industry is the chief cause of the present reces-gion. and a concerted drive will be launched to reduce taxes which id.l to the price of motor cars. These taxes are discriminatory In character and are based upon the ancient fallacy that the automobile is a luxury. In the House the drive will be led by Rep.

Senator Prentiss Brown, of Michigan, will lead the tttsck upon it. Support for reduction in motor taxes is be lieved to be greater now than at any time since this lndusty was recognized as a major source of revenue not only for the Federal r.nvprnment. but for state and local governments as well.

Estimates of the Automobile Manufacturers Association disclose that 6,000,000 persons were employed, directly and indirectly, in the production and sale of motor rars lust year. The tax imposed upon the 30.000,000 automobiles, buses find trucks in that year amounted to more than S50 a car. 41,000 Auto Dealers There are 44,000 automobile dealers in the country, and they are driving home to their con pressmen the fact that an addt tional $50 tax has built up a sales resistance which, in farm areas particularly, is difficult to overcome. In an appeal to Congress to "step on the starter" by repealing heavy taxes levied against the motor industry, the Scrlpps-Howard Newspapers asserted this week that the automobile industry itself was the biggest customer for many other industries. What Industry Buys The statistics presented showed that the motor industry buys: Kiehteen per cent of all Amerl can steel produced, 73 per cent of all plate glass, 6 per cent of alt hardwood lumber, 17 per cent of all copper, 36 per cent of all lead, 11 per cent of all zinc, 14 per cent of tin, 12 per cent of aluminum, IS per cent of nickel, 46 per cent of upholstery leather, and 9 per cent of cotton.

In addition the Industry provided 3.275.000 carloads of frieght for railroads last year. "But why do those who run our governments Federal, state and Ka! refuse the one thing they could An quickly to help lift this bellweather Industry out of eorr.a?" the appeal asked. Discriminatory Levies "We refer to discriminatory taxes taxes that discourage pro-diction, purchase of automobiles. Along with the clgaret and the bottle of liquor, the automobile is the choice victim of the tax collectors. One would almost think that our taxmakcrs considered It a sin to manufacture, buy, sell or drive an automobile." Taxes paid by motor manufac turers are passed along to the purchaser.
