FOR NATIONAL PROHIBITION.
Christian Endeavor Temperance Leaders
Expect Constitutional Amendment.

Los Angeles, Cal, July l5.To the
question 'Ifow to meet the liquor men
ace" Daniel A. Polling, speaking for the
United Societies of Christian Endeavor,
answered, Educate and exterminate.'
The speaker, who is the national tenn
perance and citizenship superintendent
OF the society, said weaknesses of the
anti saloon movement in the past had
been due to lack of unity. but in
this new militant educational campaign"
he said, (which will be nationwide in
its scope, we will present, by the provi-
dence of the hour, fighting platform of
common agreement. We declare for ma
tional prohibition in 1920 as the eigh
teenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States. We declare for
the election of candidates and admins
tratons out-spokenly committed to the
enforcement of existing temperance laws
and to the complete destruction of the
liquor traffic. We never have known our
enemy, Our educational programme will
begin with alcohol itself. 1t is a narcot
ic poison that leaves in its train dis
ga sed bodies, broken minds and damned
souls. The liquor traffic is the master
corrupter of politics. The corrupted vote
of every state is in the hollow of the
liquor hand

Upton SHOWS DARING.
In Selecting William P Burton as Com
mander of Cup Challenger.

New York, July 15,Sir Thomas Lip
tons choice of the amateur yachtsman,
| William p. Burton, to command and
pilot his fourth Shamrock in the 1914
races for the Americas cup, probably
will be regarded as many yachtsmen as
daring and risky innovation. In all
previous races for the historic trophy,
the competing yachts have been handled
by professional shippers, and it is gen
orally assumed that professional
yachtsman must know more about the
game than an amateur.
1t is not generally realized here, that
far more opportunities are at the dis
posal of the English amateur yachts
man to obtain practice than exist for
his American prototype, however keen
and enthusiastic he may be. Because
Of the great distance between important
ports along the Atlantic coast yachts
man has opportunities to participate in
the races Of but few clubs.
In England, where distances between
yachting centers are so much shorter,
dates are so arranged that a yacht, by
visiting various ports in succession, may
engage in as many as three score or
more races in the course of a season.
That is probably thrice as many as a
New York or Boston yacht has a chance
to take part in. II not satisfied with
the abundance of racing he gets in home
waters, the British yachtsman also can
engage in some OF the races organized
by continental clubs.
Mr.. Burton began his yacht racing
I I
sail his own boat and for some years
contented himself with small boats, but
for the last fifteen or sixteen years he
has owned and raced LANCER craft. Al
together he has sailed in about a thou
sand races. II is safe to say that there
are few if any professional American
yachting shippers who have had any
thing like so extended an experience in
yacht racing.
BY the best English judges he is re.
garded as the cleverest helmsman. either
amateur or professional. in English
waters, He has repeatedly raced his
yachts against those sailed by the most
famous English professionals and has
beaten them. In 1911, sailing his 10
metre Oetavia against yachts of the
same rating steered by professionals he
finished the season at the top OF the
class, with 81 prizes to his credit out of
81 starts.
Mr.. Burton is member of several
yacht clubs and vice commodore of the
Royal Harwich Yacht club, which CON
fers on him the distinction of being ex-
oficio an honorary member of the New
York Yacht club. He is wealthy man
and with ample means to indulge in his
sporting proelivities which are not CON
fined to yacht racing. In. the county of
Suffolk. where he resides, he has hunted
for many seasons with his own pack of
hounds.

FULL-BLooD INDIANS PASSING.
The Halfbreeds, However, Are Increasing
in Number.

Washington, July l0.-While the full
blooded Indian is fast disappearing the
halfbreeds are increasing in number. ac-
cording to a statement just issued by
the census bureau, and based on Stats
tics gathered among the various Indian
tribes of the United States. The report
shows that the halfbreeds have by far
the larger families and that the aborig-
ines rapidly are being assimilated by the
white race. The full bloods are most
prominently represented in the states of
Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado,
and Nevada, where more than eighty
five per cent of the full -blooded Indian
race is to be found. Oklahoma has the
largest Indian population, principally
mixed breeds This was due to the in
fiux of adventurous whites during the
apportionment of the rich lands to the
members Of the five civilized tribes and
the intermarriage Of those whites with
Indian women. Analysis of the figures
collected by the census takers shows
a decrease OF all classes of Indians in
the ten-year period from 1890. Owing,
however, to the increase among the half
breeds the next decade records an in
crease which, for the twenty years term,
is approximately seven per cent.

WATERS THAT FLOW TWO WAYS.
At Some Seasons They Empty Into
Arctic Ocean, at Others Into Atlantic.

The United States geological survey
has just published report (Water-Sup-
ply Paper 3G5l containing the results
of river flow measurements made during
the year 1911 in the Hudson bay and
upper Mississippi river basins. Because
the dividing line between the Mississippi
river drainage basin and that of Hudson
bay is indefinite and in many places can
not be determined, the consideration
of these two basins in connection with
their water supplies and the uses that
can be made Of this resource must log
ieally be taken up together In fact, in
northern Minnesota there is great area
of land so fat that its waters sometimes
flow into Hudson Bay and sometimes
into the Gulf Of Mexico. There are times
when certain lakes discharge at both
ends, the northern outlet taking the flow
through Red river or rainy river into
Lake Winnipeg and thence into Hudson
bay, while the southern outlet leads to
the Mississippi.
The steam gauging work carried on by
the geological survey in Minnesota and
Illinois was performed in cooperation
with these states.
The westernmost river covered by the
report is st. Mary river which rises in
Montana, crosses the Canadian boun-
Diary, and empties into the Saskafche
wan. The other rivers are largely those
of North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wis
consin, although considerable informa-
tion is contained concerning the rivers of
Illinois and Iowa, which empty into the
Mississippi.

GRINDING MATERIALS ACTIVE.
More Than 100000 Represented in Use
Of Abrasives in 1912.

There was an increase both in domes-
tie production of natural and artificial
abrasives and in importation in 1912,
according to figures published by the
United States geological survey in a
separate chapter from Mineral Re-
sources" on abrasive materials, by
Frank J. Katz The value of natural abra .
sives produced increased about three per
cent, of artificial abrasiyes II per cent,
and of imports about II per cent. The
total value Of all abrasive materials
consumed in the United States last year
was S4.222,56s, against 1885 .657 in 1911.
Natural abrasives to the value of ST.
576.556 were produced in 1912, against
81 ,526,763 in 1911, and artificial abra
sives produced last year were valued
at $l,747,l20, against a production in
1911 worth 81 10000.
OF the natural abrasives produced in
1912. grindstones and pulpstones had the
greatest value Sal6,339: oilstones and
scythestones were second in value, with
S232 2lS; garnet third, valued at $751;
500; infusorial earth and tripoli fourth
valued at Sl25,446; pumiee fifth, valued
at Ss6,6S7; and millstones sixth, with
a value OF STl,4l4.
The artificial abrasives include carbo-
rundum, alundpm. and crushed steel, and
were produced TO the amount of 2a002,
900 pounds in 1912, with value of ST.
TAI 100 This was an increase of $780,
600 pounds in quantity and S254,0s0
in value over that of 1911.

Travel Observations.

Travel observations and impressions OF
a unique flavor may be given readers of
the August Century in Theodore Dreis-
er's "The First Voyage Over" in which
the author of SISTER Carrie" and "Jen-
ME Gerhardt" gives frank and mcon-
ventional record of his first trans-Atlan-
tie voyage, with his erst trip through
England and on the continent in antici-
patton. DIR. Dresser was forty when he
started on this trip, and his observations
and impressions are those of "a naively
sophisticated traveller" who states as his
philosophy of life:
Il now accept no creeds. I do not
know what truth is, what beauty is.

lieve anyone absolutely and | do not

WOOD FOR AUTO SPoKES.

The remarkable development of the
automobile industry in the last few
years has brought the kecnest engineer
ing ability in the world to bear on the
task of making the modern automobile
as effective piece of mechanism as pos
sible. The struggle for greater efficiency
and for the knowledge of the value of
the products that 90 into automobile
makeup has been carried on to a great
extent by the Society of Automobile
Engineers.
One of the remarkable discoveries that
the society has made is the fact that red
nd-growth hickory and not the white
variety is the toughest and most resil-
lent, and hence the most valuable for

automobile spokes. This discovery up
sets the tradition of buggy and carriage
makers, who had always taken it for
granted that the white hickory was the
more desirable and had used it TO the
exclusion of the other for years. The
automobile engineers discovered that the
specific gravity determined to great
extent the resiliency of the wood, and
that the red was of the higher specific
gravity. The result of the discovery of
these engineers has been that wheel
makers now charge for wheels according
to weight This investigation in refer
ence to seeond-growth hickory is an in
dication of the great demand the auto
mobile industry has made upon the skill
of men and the wonderful influence the
automobile industry is welding in the
mechanical world to-day.

UPSET THE QUIET OLD TOWN
indignant Bees, Loose on Philadelphia
Streets, Made Citizens Forget
Their Dignity.

A winged peril descended on shore
ward bound crowds at the Market

sending men, women and children
scurrying for safety. Some of them
weren't quick enough, and as a con
sequence, spent a day nursing, on
various parts of the anatomy, stings
OF peeved and indignant bees.
1t happened when a box containing
hive of forty thousand bees fell
from an express wagon at the ferry.
The box, which was consigned to a
man in Swedesboro, n. j., broke as it
fell, and the hive rolled out. Peeved
at the indignities heaped upon them,
two thousand of the bees swarmed
out.
The advance guard of the little
army of stingers attacked a street
cleaner. With howl he dropped his
broom and took refuge in a saloon
About the same time the other bees
got busy The crowds scattered and
in a short time the ferries were de
serted, save for the buzzing swarm
Frantic messages were sent 10 the
company which shipped the bees and
a representative of the firm hurried
TO the place. He nailed up the box
and sent it on its way, minus several
hundred honey gatherers.
