You see then, that IL makes a big

way home to his hungry, snoeleas
children and the broken-hearted moth
err clad in the rags OF drunkard's
wife, the stout, well-fed, grinnIng bar
tender allowed me TO handle the eagle
for a few moments while l readily
computed that only 40 cents OF that
SO squandered for booze goes to the
farmer for his grain and only 8 cents
in wages to the men in the brewery.
Let me, then, restate the proposition
in enc single, simple. absolutely
truthful sentence. Here it is: From
the man who spent Ills SO for cloth
ing, farmers and Wage-earners receive
SAGE; from the mau who spent his
$40 for shoes. farmers and wage earn
ers receive $3.50; put from the one
who squandered his $50 in booze,
farmers and wage-earners receive on
ly a paltry 81 cents. In other words,
honest farmers and Woodworking
wage-earners lose $3.50 on every SO
that is spent for liquor instead of for
clothes and shoes.
Now, according 20 the same govern
ment statistics there were 60,000,300
OF those gold eagles that went for
booze last year, which means loss
to the farmer and workingman of
S270, 100000 annually on liquor alone,
to say nothing OF the millions more
lost to the railroad and steamship CON-
panies, merchants, clerks, etc, all
swallowed up largely in profits by
the beer emporiuns. These calcula-
tions, let me repeat, are based upon
recent government statistics and cam
not be questioned The proposition
affords food for thought especially in
these days of high cost of living. Per-
haps it can be more clearly demon
strated by, the use of the diagram
above.

goods store and asked tine manager to
show me the eagle which plumber one
had spent for clothing. and as We
talked the matter over with the gov,
eminent statistics before us. we were
able to discover that $2.31 of the ten
dollars went to the farmer for cotton
and wool and $3.50 was paid In wages
to the spinner, the weaver and the
tailor. Running into the shoe store
on the same kind of an errand. it
was not a difficult problem in mathe-
mates to calculate that OF the ten
dollars spent by number two for
shoes 1924 went to the farmer for the
hides and 1926 as wages to the tan
ners and shoemakers. The rest OF
the $40, both in the case of the clothes

INDIAN BUREAU FOLK
MAKE JOLLY PARTY
Exeursionists to Bryan's Point
Find Entertainment of Great
Diversity.

1t was a jolly crowd that boarded the
river steamer Du Barry yesterday for
the third and last OF the exclusions oi
the Indian Bureau. 1t was the best
turnout yet. The ladies were resplend-
ent in colorful frocks and the men
were out for a good time.
The program, given in the saloon OF
the steamer, after supper eaten on
shore at Bryan's Point, opposite Mt.
Vernon, was distinctly Indian in Its
character.
Z. B. Merritt, assistant commissioner
of Indian affairs, in the absence OF
Commissioner Sells, who was detained
in town, set the ball rolling by giving
an eulogistic speech on the Indian Serv-
ice. This was followed up by demon
stration by former Senator j. ID. Lee,
of Oregon, of a medicine mans song
and a real Indian war-whoop. General
Pratt, a veteran Of two Indian cam
paigns, and the founder of the Carlisle
Indian School. gave a vivid description
of a cavalry charge against the
Cheyennes.
Those who entertained with music
were Mrs. B. d. Shreve, A. E. Middle
ton. Nicola Toscano and Roscoe G..
Bangs. Others on the program were
James D. Clark, Miss Helen Bingham.
Miss Alice Harbaugh and the Indian
Office quartet, Carroll Ivens, Royston
f. Sabean, Homer Smith and r. j.
Hall.
The affair went OF with zip from
first to last, and the beaming faces Of
the returning excursionists showed
that Mrs. NJ. H. Worrell, chairman OF
the committee in charge, had put it
over with a wide margin to the good.

BOY SCOUTS ENJOY
FISHING At NIGHT
Members of Troop No. SO Take
Hike Up the Potomac for an
Outing.

Seven Boy Scouts of Troop, No. IS.
can now boast of having experienced
the thrills of fishing in darkness near
at the time when one day dies and a
new day is born-Inidnight. At o'clock
last Saturday afternoon, the scouts
under the leadership of Assistant Scout
master Cushman. left Petworth for an
overnight hike and outing. with Chain
Bridge the point of destination. ArrIv-
ing there two hours later, the boys
hiked up the banks of the Potomac
river for a half-mile, when they located
sandy space near the waters edge,
and pitched a large tent. After this
work was finished and the tent made
stable. the boys cut boughs from near
by trees ard constructed their beds.
At about II o'clock that night, the moon
shone so brightly that sleep to the ma
ture-loving lads was literally impossi-
BILE. And so sitting on huge rocks over
hanging the river. they fished. and
caught fishes until watches indicated
the arrival of a new day-the Sabbath.
They then ceased fishing and returned
to their bough beds.
After a dip the next morning, break
fast was prepared consisting of coffee.
a cereal. fried bacon and potatoes. Dur
ing the day the scouts hiked farther
up the river bank on an exploring ex-
petition"
About o'clock that evening camp
was broken and the scouts packed
the tent, blankets. and cooking utensils,
and returned to the city.
Such a good time was experienced
that the boys hope to participate in
other similar outings each week dur
ing August.
Those who participated in the outing
were Samuel Mooers, partol leader; La
mont Pitcher William Buddagee, Jo-
seph .LaDgford, Ernest Graves, George

The boys are due to reach home to-
day, the visit to Camp Butt being made
in accordance with the program laid out
for them when they left Washington
on June 20. When Scout Commissioner
Martin, of Washington, received a tele-
gram from Scoutmaster Bowles on Fri
day telling of the expected arrival of
the boys he Immediately telephoned to
camp, and the motor boat Mabelle was
in waiting at the dock at Chesapeake
Beach yesterday for the party. Mem
bers of the Baltimore party were with
the Washington boys. Some OF these
will spend a week here.
Yes, we are glad to get home,
some of the boys declared on their ar
rival here. but we would be willing to go
again another time. We have had an
awfully good time and have learned a
lot"
1t required only a short time for all
the party to become acquainted with
the swimming pool and other features
of the camp here. Camp Butt is a scene
of excitement that will last until the
departure of these boys, who are just
now the center of attraction.
