Developments have tumbled over one another in the last week to foreshadow a formidable tempt by responsible party lead- ers, including Cabinet officers, to write a "semi-wet" plank in the Chieago Republican platform. All prhposyls yet advanced would provide a referendum by a devious route, They represent a compromise with those who would take an out-and-out "wet" stand for modification: or repeal and the ardent drys who would have I'resident Hoover run on a bhone- dry platform. ond But any shift--and it is a very manifest one---is regarded as very significant by the anti-prohibi- tionists who have heen more en- couraged during the last week than at any time since the prohl- bition law was enacted. The certainty that Democrats will nominate an anti-prohibition- ist, whether their platform {is damp or not, has been responsi- ble for the recent decided change in view among Republican lead- ers. They yet have not won over President Hoover to any public or even semi-public commitment, but their strategy lies in drafting a plank that will attract '"'wet" support, with the belief that President Hoover will accept it. The referendum plan being urged upon Hoover by members of his Cabinet would provide for a special popular election on pro- hibition if Congress by majority vote orders such an election, Dele- gates would be chosen at these elections for , national conven- tion which would study all pro- at- { posals to change the law.

This is a step and time saver ag it prevents the necessity for trotting after each article as needed. If you scour with steel wool, wrap it in a cloth to protect the hands, Steel wool of a fine grade, plus a soap powder, will often remove an urgly stain from woodwork or the linoleum, After ward rub the spot with wax to restore the finish. To wash a painted wall, use three cloths; one wrung quite dry out of soap suds, one wet with rinse water, and a dry one to wipe the wall as soon as it is washed, Wash only a small portion at a time; rinse it im- mediately and wipe it dry. Use an up-an-down, not a circular motion, in washing a wall.
