RUN OVER BY AUTO
 STILL PLAYS HIS PART
Ralph Lewis Hero of the Exploit

Having heavily laden auto truck run over his foot proved to be of small consequence to Ralph Lewis while playing the lead in the Reliance Mutual thriller, "His Responsibility" In this picture Lewis alights from an auto truck. The scene was staged at Santa Monica. The camera was in place, and Director F. A. Kelsey was busily engaged in supervising the pro- ceedings when Lewis started to alight from the truck.
 In swinging off the truck steps Lew is missed his grasp on the hand rail and was thrown under the truck. Its front wheels passed entirely over Lewis right foot.
 Kelsey, the camera man, the truck crew and several members of the com pany rushed to where Lewis was ly- ing, expecting to find him seriously in jured. Lewis arose to his feet, brush ed his clothes and except for his foot being slightly bruised he seemed to be none the worse for his experience. Lewis is unable to account for the fact that his foot was not crushed by the heavy truck unless it be that his bones and muscles are made of a ma terial somewhat similar to re-enforced concrete.
 After a delay of fifteen minutes Lewis proceeded with his duties as leading man, none the worse for his experience.

INVERTEBRATES MEASURE.
 SAYS KENTUCKIAN
Pennsylvania Progressive to Support Rule and ResOlutiOn-Hobson Speaks for His Prohibition
 Constituents.

Washington, Dec. 22.-Under spe- cial rule which was adopted without a roll call the House began just af- ter noon today an eight-hour debate on the Hobson resolution to submit to the States constitutional amendment for national prohibition. An aye and nay vote will be reached tonight. A rolling chorus of faye" greeted the question and the House then plunged into one of the most interest ing, if not the most spectacular de- bates of recent years. The passage of the rule was conceded by those who oppose the Hobson resolution, many of whom voted for the rule, to get the resolution out to vote. Passage of the resolution requires a two-thirds vote in the House today and two thirds vote laetr in the Senate before lit is submitted to the States. Argument against the rule and against the resolution was made by Representative Cantrill of Kentucky.
 q think this is the most intemper- ate measure that has come before this house for years," he said. Representative Kelley of Pennsylva- mia, Progressive member of the rules committee, supportd the rule and the resolution. He said the country is tn Congress should give it an opportuni- lty.
 "This resolution is national sou- tion of a national problem" he said.
 Representative Hobson, author of the resolution, spoke in support of the rule.
 Support for the rule and opposition to the resolution was expressed by Representative Lenroot of Wisconsin.
 He said the States had full power over the liquor question land only small minority had passed prohibition laws"
 Representative Jou of North Caro- lima, speaking against the rule said:
 "I believe we are lighting the fires of a controversy which will burn in this country for a generation. In my judgement there is not man now in this hall who will be alive when the last State ratifies this amendment" :" Jou said he favored prohibition, but believed "the State is the largest eff ficient unit in the enforcement of the prohibition law"
 Representative Kent of California argued that the States were compe- tent to deal with the question without Federal interference.
 Representative Howard of Georgia announced his intention of supporting both the rule and the resolution.
 "The loss of revenue will be more than made up by the money saved in the administration of justice by sober ing up the people of this country" he said.

BEER IN ANCIENT ENGLAND.
When the Law Demanded "Drynke"
For the Kings Subjects.

Authorities in England formerly took
pains that the Lundoner should not
miss his full share of ale In the six
teenth century, for instance, the brew
er who ceased to brew was faced with
the loss Of bis business. Thus, If the
mayor got wind of ANY Of the sadie
brewers. of their frowarde and per-
verse myndcS. shall at any time here
after sodenly forbeare and ahsteyne
from bruyin-e. whereby the kings sub
iectS should he destitute or uny-Ovid-
ed Of tEynke." he knew exactly what
ado Tie city council was empower
- to take over the business rs a going
concern and to take measures TO see
that it was kept going
The cry then and for centuries after
was all for beer. There is record of a
petition Of 1913. for instance. praying
that tea. coffee and brandy he banned.
The petitioners reasoned that the la
horerS needed good strong beer and
ale" which refreshed their bodies and
neither did them prejudice nor hinder
ed their work
Besides. It cost little and was the
product of home grown grain. whereas
the new tangled drink was expensive
and destroyed his majesty's subjects,
not agreeing with their constitution"

LIGHT AND HEAT.
How They Reach Us From Out the Icy
Goodness Of Space.

In answer to the question. 1T is
thought that in space eternal cold and
darkness prcvail-what then is the ez-
PLANTATION of the fact that both light
and heat from the sun. some 10000
900 miles away in cold space, reach
the EARTH" Edgar Lucien Larkin in
the New York American says:
Heat and light as such do not
reach ehe earth from our own and
100000 more suns. Radiant energy
is transmitted by undulatons or waves
in electrons. which energy is in the
forms of waves Of varying lengths and
amplitudes. When some Of these en-
engy impulses impince on matter able
TO receive and appropriate them heat
and light result
Many molecules in many thousands
Of kinds of matter are able to trans
late energy waves into heat. while
others are translated as light on the
retina of tie eye and in the brain.
But no heat nor light develops until
the waves strike forms Of matter fitted
to receive. appropriate and translate.
Thus energy will pass through a
burning glass made of ice, converge
to a focus and set light objects on
fire"

ASSOCIATED PRESS
DEFENDED BY MOVES
President Maintains There Can
BE No Monopoly in Gath
ering Of News.

LAWRENCE. Kan. May IA defence of
the Associated Press by It's president,
Frank Il. Noyes was read to-day at the
National Newspaper Conference. Mr.
Noyes maintained that there could be no
monopoly IN the gathering Of news and
that any press association Is within Its
rights in refusing It's service
Outlining the formation OF the Asso-
ciated Press, he said way had been pro-
vided for admitting new members. who
may share in the news service, and that
his own belief was that no new member
should be admitted unless the election
would be beneficial to the association gen
orally.
He averred also that one Of the rea-
Sons for refusing admission to applicants
wan that tho admission would tend "a
break down competing news service.
Mr.. Noyes replied at some length to the
assertions made recently by VIII Irwin
Press. saying that Mr. Irwin was wrong
In declaring that the bond vote has con-
troi,ed the election VI the board OF di-
rectoA He gave the membership and
bond vote In comparison to show that he
and others would have been elected Jus,
the same had there been no bond vote.
In conclusion Mr. Noyes wrotn that a
competition Of the Associated Press has
no right whatever TO demand and use its
news service. He said IL would be just az
reasonable for one paper to demand the
use o. another's presses, composing room
editors and reporters.

their death. but the remains of another
