BREWERS. CONVENTION

Atlantic City, N. j., May 5.-The
49th annual convention of the United
States Brewers association will be
held at the Hotel Shelburne, Allan
tic City, on June 1, 2 and g. The as
ISOLATION represents in it's member
ship about Is per cent of the output
of the brewers of this country and
leading men from every state in the
union will attend the gathering.
Prohibition, which has made such
Roadway in the last few years, will
be discussed in all it's phases, not
only by men in the trade, but also
from the layman's standpoint and
with this end in view an elaborate
program is now being arranged.. A
number of well known speakers have
been asked to address the convention
on this and kindred subjects and on
account of the Importance which at
taches to this problem of the day, the
convention proceedings will be watch
ed with a great deal of interest.
In accordance with the plan which
was SO successfully adopted at the
convention at Milwaukee last year,
there will be one or two public meet
ings, which will be addressed by men
of the highest professional standing
who will be invited to discuss some
of the phases of saloon problems and
brewing business from the standpoint
Of the community The brewers
side of the case will also be given
by men within the ranks, who will
set forth the results of good and bad
license legislation and probably indi-
cate the extent to which saloon reg
ulations is related to the general
problem of efficiency in municipal
government.
1t will be shown that lax legisla-
ton induces over competition in the
saloon business and that over COM
petition invites political graft and po-
lice corruption. The efforts of the
brewers to correct saloon evils in New
York, Ohio, Wisconsin and other
states, where results have. been &C
complished during the year, will be
explained by men who have actual
knowledge of the local conditions.
Matters of purely trade interest and
concern will be relegated to the ex-
ecutive session of the conference. The
other meetings are open to the press
and there will be at least one meet
ing to which the general public will
be invited.

A National Highway.

The suggestion comes from many
quarters that the approaching trans
continental automobile race from
New York to Seattle. for the Guggen-
helm trophy, will afford favorable
opportunity for revival of the pro-
ject for the construction of a great
transcOntinental roadway from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. The form OF
the present suggestion is that the ma
tional government should extend its
aid to each state which shall assume
the work of building a link of the
proposed line to its western border.
The idea is attractive and it is prac-
tical. Moreover, according to the pre-
cedents set from the earliest days of
the country, federal aid to such
project is within the legitimate pow
ers of congress. and the construction
of such roads is one of the matters
with which the trainers of the consti-
tuition of the United States expected
the federal government to deal. In
deed, had it not been for the develop
ment of railroad transportation there
would have been great national high
ways for postroads leading to every
part of the Union.
1t is a question whether national
highway of the type is not as impor-
tant now as 1t ever could have been.
The railroads are owned by private
corporations; the national highway
would be free to the use of every one.
With the improvement in automobiles
and the decrease in their cost. travel
over roads is becoming matter ef-
fecting far more people that 1t has
at any time since the work Of railroad
construction was fairly under way.
If there were a great national high
way. built and maintained like the
roads of England or many of those in
continental Europe, it is a safe predic-
ton that from one side of the CONT
nent to the other that road would be
thronged with travellers, not all OF
whom. by any means, would be mere
pleasure seekers 1t is a work which
should be under the supervision of
the war department, and under It's
regulation thereafter, and it should
be paid for, is considerable part at
least. by the federal government.

Gift BAN ON 'OstERIsN'

Chicago, May with the young
mans era and 1.-The woman's inva-
sion" accomplished facts movement
has been set on foot here to recover
for old men the foothold they have
lost in recent years. 1t has been found
that the preference for young men
has reached such a stage that that
men who have passed their prime but
have attained maturity of judgment
get no hearing whatever, no matter
what their competency and qualifica-
lions may be.
The case is related of former rail-
way president who received the thor
ough old-school training in all
branches of the service, who is vainly
seeking a position in Chicago as &C.
countant owing to reversal of for
tune which left him stranded. Not
withstanding his broad grasp of ac-
counting, engineering and construc-
ton from having organized account
ing, engineering and construction de-
partments as well as having gone
through those mills, he has spent
weeks without getting employment,
although he was ready, he said, ''to
polish the door knob to get his abil-
tiles under the eye of executives. This
and other similar cases have shown
the need for a reaction from the
blind preference for young activities.
| For lack of mature men, like this
Iex-railway president, many corpora
ton heads are said to be working
themselves into their graves, COM
| planning at the same time that they
can not get 1.-The right sort of help"
The blame is laid upon the chief
clerks and petty executives who have
come to regard it their duty to turn
down" CURLY men whose hair is
tinged with gray. How can employ
ers expect to get the most competent
help if they allow subordinates to
follow blindly the rule of young men
only in regard to applicants for en-
| plOyment,' was the comment of
director of a big corporation. big
business has blundered in failing to
know, not only the kind of men en-
ployed, but the kind that are turned
down"

STUDIES
SLEEPING WOMAN

Los Angeles, May 5.-FOr the first
time since she entered upon her
third trance of psychic obsession,
Mrs. Beulah Hawkins today is un-
der the care of a physician. Despite
the fact that nothing can be done to
awaken her from her lethargic state,
into which she lapsed last Tuesday
the physician is watching the case
closely, prescribing the amount OF
stimulants to be injected and record
ing for science the phases of one OF
it's most puzzling problems.
The exact nature of her afhlctlon
is hard to define, as it cannot De
called a stupor or sleep. Inc
sense of hearing. smelling, tasting
and feeling seems to be made more
acute and from the patients state
ment after her last obsession, 1t ap-
pears that she suffers mentally. NO
indications of mental suffering is'
however, apparent to her Watchers
and it would be difficult to say wne-
Their she feels pain.
A new development in the case is
the fact that she is able to Vaik
ahout the house under the guidance
of her nurse The action was taken
at the mental suggestion of the at

the bedside. A strange feature is
that the eyes are tightly closed. The
muscles of the eyelids remain tight

HARD TO GET WORK
At BIG FAIR
OVER 10000 APPLICATIONS FOR
THE 14O GUARDS WHICH ARE
TO BE APPOINTED AT THE A.
Up. EXPOSITION.

Seattle, May 5.-Would you like
to have a nice easy job at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacific exposition, which opens
in Seattle June 1? To be sure you
would. All right, what kind? Ex-
position guard? File your applica-
ton with Mr.. Wappenstein. Yours
is number 10,4S2 Will you get
job? Well, really, l can't promise
you anything, for there will be 140
guards on the fair grounds and those
10,4S1 applications must be consid-
cred first No, hardly think you will
get the job.
Never in the city of Seattle has any
one been so swamped with applica-
tons for work as have the officials of
the Alaska-Y exposition.
1t seems that about half of the adult
population of the state wants to work
at the fair and all of the youngsters.
Applications come in by every mail
and the offices of the exposition are
crowded with office seekers. They
want all sorts of jobs, anything, in
fact, that will entitle them to sea-
son pass Money, in most cases, is
no object They want to work at the
exposition, if they have to pay for the
privilege And some of the applicants
take their failure to obtain work
quite philosophically and walk into
the treasurer's office to buy season
ticket, which can be had for SO if
bought before the opening day.
Some of the applicants are not so
easily disposed of, but keep coming
day after day, demand vigorously a
personal interview with some over
worked department chief, present let
tiers from all sorts of people, indorse-
ments by political clubs, church So
cieties or petty politicians, and only
finally give up in disgust with firm
belief that they are the victims of
lack of pull" or that there is some
graft" connected with this exposition
business. They do not realize that
the responsible positions at an expo
sition must be filled by experienced
men of known ability, who are spe-
cialists in their lines and that for
the unskilled positions there are so
applications on file for every job and
many of them have been assigned
weeks ago.
During the last six months there
have been at all times between 1000
and 5000 men at work on the fair
grounds, many of them employed by
contractors. All employees have been
we'll paid and will be, although the
exposition could get it's labor very
cheaply if it took advantage of the
wild scramble for jobs. But there
is little chance today for the young
man who comes to Seattle because he
believes there will be hundreds of
Jobs around the exposition. Every
position is already spoken for by
scores of applicants. The exposition
| is sparing no pains to secure compe-
tent employees who will minister to
the care and comfort of visitors.
