ter from a Chicago liquor dealers or
ganzation, referring disparagingly to
temperance advocates, which was read
by Representative SABBATH of Illinois.
caused an uproar in the house yester-
day afternoon.
It was during the debate leading up
to the action of the house in voting to
appropriate $5.25O to defray the eX
penses of delegates appointed by the
president to represent America in the
14th international congress on alec.
holism at Milan next month. 4
Mr.. SABBATH challenged the right Of
congress TO make such an appropria'
ton, and as a preface TO his remarks,
caused the clerk to read the letter,
which was from the National Liquor
league, signed by Robert H. Halle,
secretary.
'On behalf of the vast army of the
American people embracing dealers In
liquor, we protest against this action,
not because the liquor question is I'M
worthy of discussion but because the
delegates are bigoted prohibitionists."
began the letter.
Then it went on to say that the
United States could not get along
without the revenue from liquor taxes
and would be unable to support any
army and navy. Without this revenue,
it stated, the United States would be
left "at the mercy of the Japs and
other foreign powers" The letter con.
cluded:
at reminds one of the fable of kill.
ing the goose that laid the golden
eggs. Prohibitionists are mostly ex.
enipt from taxation-they toll not,
neither do they spin"

Diners viii Fetch Their Own Meal
and Thus Reduce Cost-Expected
to Prove Popular Feature.

A feature of the new Y. NJ. c. A
pie is the restaurant which is being
installed. This restaurant has been
given the choicest location in the en-
tire building, being placed at the
Fifth avenue and Twentieth street
corner of the main floor, opening di-
rectly from the big lobby, and it is the
expectation that this will prove to be
attractions.
The restaurant is being introduced
primarily for the convenience of the
members. There will be. something
like 100 men rooming in the building
and these, together with the numerous
committees and clubs that will meet
for lunches and suppers. will no doubt
be sufficient to keep the place busy.
1t is the plan to serve three meals a
day, all on the self serve" plan, thus
reducing the cost and making possible
a greater service.

rangements will be made to admit not
only the members of the association
to this privilege, but also the friends
of the association who desire to patro-
nize it. The women are to be welcome
in the dining room, also.
The carpenters are working hard
putting the finishing touches on their
work in the dining room and lobby.
! The finish in these rooms is of great
! beauty, and will contribute in no small
! measure toward the attractiveness and
popularity of these social features. 1t
| is hoped that the big social lobby will
prove to be one of the most popular
| places in the city. The size and con
venience and beauty of the room Will
make it worthy to be such. This lob,
| by, of course. is practically a public
one, not being limited to the use OF
members, but for all men, and to some
extent, for the women also. The base
ment lounge or lobby will be a dis,
tinct members privilege, but the
main lobby on the first floor will be
opened as a gathering place and meet
ing place for people regardless oil
membership.
Thus the association will attempt tc
serve its purpose as a public institu
ton for the convenience and comfort
of all the people, in addition to pro
viding the special privileges to which
members alone are entitled.

Corn Yield Increasing.

In the past five or six years
The Department of Agriculture
has shown by demonstration that
for young men there is greater
opportunity in producing the
gold of the corn crop than there
ever was in gathering the gold
from the placer mines of Cali
fornia.
For no 10-year period has the
corn yield of the United States
exceeded an average of 2S bush
els per acre. Not even the most
fertile state has ever produced
over 81 bushels per acre. Yet in
practically every section of the
country yields of over 100 bu, h.
els are continually being produc'
ed by good farmers.
1t is asserted that the corn
yield of the United States can be
easily doubled by the spread of
good farming methods. Or If
such yield is beyond our needs,
the acreage devoted to corn car,
be greatly reduced and the land
.ievoted to other needed crops.
There are unto!d billions of
dollars which can be added 10
the wealth of the nation by in.
creasing the corn production.
No other line of activity offers
such opportunities.

and of the country is in the boys.
