Of PROHIBITION
Speaks in Opposition to Pro-

An eloquent plea against the proposed
constitutional amendment for nationwide
prohibition was made before a subcom-
mittee Of the Senate judiciary committee
yesterday by Simon Wolf of this city, rep
resenting the German-American National
Alliance, the Hebrew-American congre-
tions and the Independent Order of the
B'nai Birth.
John B. Colpoys of Central Labor
Union also spoke in opposition to the
proposed amendment, declaring that he
voiced the sentiments of organized labor.
In a brief statement he illustrated to the
committee the manner in which hun
dreds Of thousands of workmen would
be thrown out Of employment II nation
wide prohibition should become law.
Others who spoke against prohibi-
ton were: Arno P. Mowitz of Philadel-
phia, chairman Of the national legisla-
tive committee of the German -Ameri-
can Alliance; Mrs. Carrie Fischer OF
the German American Women OF Bal
timore, Albert L. Fankhanel OF Baiti-
more, Alphonse G. Koelble OF new

Weismann of Brooklyn, Adolph Timm
of Philadelphia and Heinrich Abeles,

Simon. VOLTS Argument.
In his address to the committee Mr..
Wolf said that the organizations which
he represented were composed of hun
dreds of thousands of men and women,
law-abiding and with high moral pur-
poses. who do not countenance crime IN
any direction, but who claim that the
enactment of prohibition laws do not
make for reform.
1.-The law can punish, but never pre-
vent" said Mr.. Wolf In fact. the en-
forced dictim of the law, making an ef-
fort to prevent enjoyment of natural
rights, leads to the violation thereof and
encourages perjury and hypocrisy. and,

Fat for frying should not be hot enough

When the ~doughnut is dropped into the fat
it sinks to the bottom. AS o as it

Fred De Groot, Carrier No. 3, had
a narrow escape from serious injury
last Thursday, while serving his route.
The Q%uick-shift coupling on his shaft
got loose and dropped out, letting the
shaft down on the horses heels. That
scared the horse and the animal rum
away going through a ditch and up
setting the mail wagon. Mr.. De Groot
was fortunate in stopping the horse.
His cab suffered a good deal more and
will need quite a bit of repairing. This
is only a part of the vicissitudes of the
mail mans job, some others are pick
ing pennies out Of boxes, something he
does not need to do, but does it to ac-
commodate his patrons.

While travelling through the hills a
few miles east of Canning n day last
week, Frank Wright and Mr.. Fleisch-
man noticed a peculiar bone at the
mouth of a badger hole. They made
an investigation and without much diff
fculty unearthed a human skeleton,
There was no sign of a grave, and
everything indicated that the skeleton
had been there for many years. Near
the skeleton was found a quantity of
rings Of coil brass and copper, these
being about two inches in diameter.
The rings indicated that the skeleton
is that of an Indian. In some manner
the skin on one side of the face had
been preserved. The left ear, in which
there was a ring Of the same metal as
the rings found lying nearby, also had
been preserved. If the skeleton Is that
of an Indian, it is believed that he was
killed at the lonely point in the hills
by war parties from other Indian tribes
who during the early days raided the
Indians who occupied that territory
