SIxTY-TWO STATE UNIONS
PROGRESS AGAINST SALOONS

BALTIMORE November 12.-At the
session this afternoon of the National
Women's Christian Temperance Union in
this city the reports submitted were
generally of an encouraging nature. Mrs.
Frances P Parks of Illinois, the CORE
spending secretary, reported sixty-twO
state unions in the national organization
with constituency CT more than 100000.
In addition to these sixty-two bodies,
there are 1885 unions Of young peoples
branches.
Forty great industrial centers
throughout the nation" the report said.
each with over 10000 population, have
outlawed the saloon; the capital cities of
New Hampshire. Vermont. West Vir-
ginia. Florida. Nebraska and Michigan
are dry under local options'
In 1910. it was also stated. the Frances
Willard memorial organizing fund
amounted to $1,000.
Report on Rescue Work.
Mrs. Lurenda B. Smith of Kansas.
national superintendent of the depart
ment of rescue work, reported that the
past year had been a strenuous and sue
cessful one. Eight states enacted laws
One hundred and eighty-three rescue
homes had been established and many
thousands of girls have been led to a
new and better life. The society for
the friendlesS reached over 5000 men.
The efforts of the department of med
ical temperance during the past year
were not fruitful of all the results hoped
for, acco ding to its superintendent, Mrs.
Martha M. Allen of Marcellus, ~. Y. A
strong but unavailing appeal was made
to induce the phaTmacopeal convention
to eliminate whisky, brandy and the
indicated wines from the new edition OF
the pharmacopeia
While no action was taken on the ap-
peal, 1t is thought. the superintendent
said that the medicated wines will be
omitted whether whisky and brandy are
or not.
Professors Favor Elimination.
lone interesting thing in connection
with the effort, the report added, 'is
the fact that the majority Of professors
of medicine in the medical colleges ex-
pressed themselves as in favor of the
elimination of these drinks from the
pharmacopeia-"
An extensive campaign against soft
drinks containing drugs was carried on
last winter. Several southern legisla-
lures introduced measures to regulate or
prohibit the sale Of these drug drinks,
but none became law.
The report of the national treasurer of
the union showed a balance on hand Of
$15,s2s.

records between
Seattle and Portland. Ore. The car was
driven by Manager r. P. Rice of the
Disher as mechanic. The distance from
Seattle to Portland by road is approxi-
mately 200 miles and was covered by
the Ford .'Cannonball" in II hours and
so minutes, which is by far the best
time ever made on the trip When the
Ford arrived in Portland, and Rice
told of the time which was made on the
trip many local well Seattle
word, or at least to say that he must
have overlooked an hour or two. Rice
insisted that he had made the distance
in the time announced, and finally,
when his friends became too skeptical,
he said he would go over the same
route and guarantee to lower the pre-
Vious time. That he was able to back
UP his statement was amply illustrated
by his return race, in which he chopped
off minutes from his original record.
Rice could have lowered the time con-
siderably on his trip from Portland to
Seattle had ii not been for the fact that
between Toledo and Chehalis they lost
the road and went "a miles out of their
way before the mistake was discovered.
The racers were timed out of Portland

Of the Portland automobile club, and
were checked in at Totem Pole square

organization there. IT is thought that
