By ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mobile, July Mobile for the sec
ord time in the two hundred years
of her existence is dry, due to the
passage of the recent prohibition laws
by the Alabama legislature. People
as early as 6 o'clock in the evening
began to occupy the tables at the
cafes and cabarets and the streets
were crowded with people of every
class who marched up and down car
rying away tons of various kinds of
liquors that were disposed of at auc-
ton by the various liquor dealers
throughout the city.
At the principal hotels the crowds
remained until late in the night and
on the stroke of midnight nearly a
thousand men and women were sing
in parody on "Tipperary," entitled,
''It's Long Way to Pensacola" the
nearest wet town to the state.

CRUISER NORTH.
CAROLINA WILL.
ARRIVE BY 18TH
Vessel is Expected Off tho,
Dry Dock at Portsmouth
In Few Days
HER PERMANENT
STATION rs HERE
Over Hundred Men Now At
Navy Yard Attached to
Aviation Work.

The cruiser North Carolina is ex-
pected to arrive in Pensacola hsrbor
by the middle of this month and will.
In future, be stationed here ir con-
necticn with the aviation school. The
big cruiser is on the dry deck at
portsmouth, where she went about
ten days ago fer complete over
hauling. 1t is probable this work will
be finished within the next few DAVIS
and the cruiser will then take on
stores and coal and leave for Pensa-
cola.
The North Carolina has been in
European waters for almost a wear
and naturally was badly in need of
docking. She was sent across first
with money for the Americans strand
ed abroad at the commencement of
the European war and later went to
turkish ports To look after the in
terests OF Americans in that country.
She was ordered to. Pensacola
when the battleship Mississippi was
sold to Greece, but the outbreak of
the war prevented her coming here
Immediately and instead was sent to
Europe.
AT the yard repairs to the wharf.

have been in progress for the past
ten days.
An effort also is being made to
have the navy department assign sew
eral torpedo boat destroyers to PEN
sacola for permanent duty in con-
nection with the aviation school.
OVER 100 MEN AT YARD.
With the arrival here Wednesday
night and yesterday of several more
enlisted men, over 100 men are now
stationed at the yard, attached to
the aeronautic school. These COM
prise both officers and enlisted men
of the navy and form a portion of
the new class authorized by Congress.
For the past month hardly a dav
has passed without groups of men
arriving and it is stated that quite
number of others are yet to come to
the station.

WHITMAN GIVES
BECKER A NEW
LEASE ON LIFE
Former New York Police
Lieutenant Gets Favor
From the Governor
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Albany, N. 7. July 1.-Governor
Whitman today granted Charles
Becker, the former New York police
lieutenant under sentence of death. a
reprieve until July 26.
The governor said he would take no
further action in the case than to
granting of the reprieve. This means
that if the United States supreme
court does not interfere, Becker will
have to die.
Martin T. Manton, Becker's attor-
ney who obtained the reprieye, said
an appeal probably would be taken to
the United States supreme court. The
inference was drawn from this state
ment that another attorney was
drawing the appeal and that the gov
ernor's action was chiefly for the
purpose of granting him time to do
his work thoroughly.
No statement was forthcoming, but
it was said that the government would
make d statement later.
Becker's execution originally was
set for the week ending July IL, and
it was believed July 16 was the day
selected. His reprieve therefore Il
for ten days.

Advertising
Pays for Itself

In this age of enlightenment,
the necessity of advertising if
one is to do business on a profit
able basis is almost universally
recognized. Yet some firm or in
dividual bobs up once in while
with the statement that they do
not advertise, and, because of this
they are able to sell cheaper than
the man who uses advertisin4
space to attract trade. And al
ways this sort of an incident
bring up the questions, who
pays for the advertising and
"Does advertising increase the
cost of goods ?" These questions
arose not long ago, and one of
the well known agricultural pub
LEGATIONS of the country, Farm
and Fireside, gave this answer:
Who pays the cost of adver-
Using?
Five years ago certain auto
mobile manufacturers output
was few thousand cars, which
he sold for about one thousand
dollars each.
During the present season he is
building more than two hundred
thousand cars, which are vastly
better than the former output,
and his price for them is less than
five hundred dollars each.
Extensive advertising has
brought this vast number of buy
ers, thus enabling him to equip
an enormous factory, where cars
in such large numbers can be
turned out much more cheaply.
The same condition is found in
practically all lines of business.
Advertising reduces the cost to
the consumer and improves the
quality because of the large vol
ume of sales it brings.
In buying advertised goods you
not only get the best value for
the money, but a reliable manu-
facturer's guarantee Of "satisfac-
ton or money refunded"
Advertising not only reduces
the cost of articles Of all kinds
by greatly charging the volume
of business, but it is a tremen-
dous factor in the expansion Of
the industrial life of the nation.
It creates demand, and by Great
ing demand makes positions for
thousands and adds to the wealth
and the contentnent of the peo-
pie. Advertising pays for ITSELF

IS IN POOR HEALTH AND FEARS
SHE WILL BE UNABLE TO
STAND ORDEAL.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, July Information
considered authentic by the deputy
attorney generals Office today reach
ed here that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had
reluctantly decided to obey the sub
poena summoning her to testify as a
state witness at the sanity trial of
her husband, Harry K. Thaw. The
word came from Malone, N. Y, near
where she is camping. It had been
said she would refuse to come. Plans
to compel her attendance have been
abandoned, and she is expected to
take the stand Tuesday.
Mrs. Thaw is said to be in poor
health. Her reluctance to testify
based on the fear, it is reported, that
she might be unable to stand the
strain of cross-examination.
This statement was made today at
the attorney generals Office. Her
excuse that the strain of appearing
on the stand would endanger her
health will not be considered, it was
said, unless put forward in a legal
manner.
Today the trial was occupied en-
tirely by the reading of documentary
evidence consisting of testimony
bearing on Thaw's sanity in previous
proceedings.

Washington, July 1.-Ofhcial infor-
nation on which to base accurate
Judgment of the circumstances under
which the British steamer Armenian
was destroyed with the loss of Ameri-
can lives, is lacking tonight. Secre-
tary Lansing said until the details are
available the position Of the United
States could not be determined.
After reading the news dispatches
and q closer reading of official re-
ports, however, officials were inclined
to the view that the Armenian ap-
parently refused to halt at the COM
mand of the German submarine, and
according to international law the
sinking of the vessel was justified,
even though non-combatants were on
board.
There was little tension here after
it was learned the Armenian tried to
escape. 1t was admitted If the of
fetal reports bore out the press dis
patches there was no likelihood of any
new cause of complaint to be added
to the issues pending between the
United States and Germany.
One or two officials suggested that
since Germany was given warning she
would torpedo enemy ships without
warning, the merchantmen carrying
contraband might be justified is at
tempting to escape, since to halt
would mean certain destruction with
no assurance of an opportunity for
the crew to escape. The only i'm
eportant fact officially received was
Ambassador Pages report that the
Armenian was engaged in admiralty
business"

BODIES THREE
MURDERED MEN
FOUND IN CREEK
All Were Those Of White
Men, and Bore Several
Pistol Wounds.
BY AssocIATrD pREss

West Point, Ca, July The
bodies of three white men, all bearing
pistol wounds, have been found in the
Chattahoochee river, near Blanton's
ferry, fifteen miles south of West
Point, within the last twenty-four
hours. They have been identified as
those of Mack and Epps Melton broth
ers of Harris county, Ga, and J. s.
Leak, of Riverview, Ala.
Epps Melton, who was a carpenter,
was tried and acquitted in the Fulton
county court last month on the charge
of numbering Mans Teal in Harris
county. His body was recovered this
morning. The head, which bore a pis-
toll wound and other marks of vio-
lence, was weighted down by a heavy
rock.

GREAT RUSSIAN BASE
ONLY 100 MILES AWAY

London, July The Austro-Ger-
man drive northward into Poland
from Gaicia is gaining momentum
and England is puzzled whether the
German purpose is to make this the
main effort or to continue concen-
trated offensive to force the Russians
from the southeast tip of Galicia
Whatever the ultimate, the object
fighting along the Gnila Lipa river
has not abated and Berlin not only
records progress, here, but also
farther north in the Arc around Lem
berg and between the Vistula and
bug rivers.
The TanAsnsf. fnrces ca this fr,,n4
are estimated at two millions. Their
progress has been rapid and they are
not far from Zanoso fortress, twenty
SIX miles north of the Galician from
tier.
The great Russian base at Brest-
Litovsk, linked with Warsaw by inn
portant railways, lies only one hum
bred miles north.
The development in the Galician
campaign has created a situation un-
expected by the allies. A few months
ago the Russians were at the Car
pathions and confident predictions
were made in England and France
that the Russians would soon over
run Hungary. The British press has
been optimistic over the Russians
turn for weeks, but now frankly con-
cedes the invasion of Russia is SER
ious. The papers, however, put faith
In Russia's campaign for the pro-
duction of more munitions.
The Arras section is still the
storm center in the west. The losses
are piling up, but neither side de-
livers a decisive blow.
An Athens dispatch tonight saws
the allies have taken Krithia on
Gallipoli peninsula.
Bulgaria, which both sides have
been trying to bring into the con-
fiict, has notified reservists in Eng
land to be ready to join the colors.
Bulgarian officials here say this is
a perfunctionary procedure, however.

Paris, July THE decline in the

The rate in 1914 was thousand

1913 the figures dropped to $50 and
there has been rapid decline since.
In the week of June there were

WHAT THE PUBLIC NEEDS.


Life is getting to be too compli-
Gated for the use of narcotics said
DR.. S. P. Kramer, the noted surgeon,
in a recent address at the Ricketts,
Research Laboratory, Cincinnati. THE
time was when the farmer could drive
to town and get tanked up and his
friends would put him in the buggy
and the sober horse would carry him
home. But you can not do that now
with automobiles. We know that
most of the automobile accidents are
after dinners where alcohol has been
served, and that not always in ex-
cess"
After describing the effects of alco-
hol as similar to those of chloroform
or ether, except for the fact that it
works more slowly, he considered its
effect upon efficiency in various fields
of %endeavor, and showed charts prov
ing the lowered working power of
compositors, b~ookkeepers and soldiers
after they have taken liquor.
"But a friend said to me-" remarked
DR.. Kramer, continuing the same line
of argument, doctor, you must know
that Mr.. Blank, the jury lawyer, is
more eloquent in his cups, and that
the celebrated actor was more i'm
pressive when drinking I asked this
man if he would want his chauffeur,
his locomotive engineer, his surgeon,
to drink. He said he would not. Now
the orator and the actor are in vocal
pursuits. Alcohol makes them more
passionate. But the judge on the
bench knows that the lawyer is less
capable of keen analysis when in his
cups, and the trained dramatic critic
will tell you that the drinking actor
is not coming up to what he should.
These men are like the court testers.
The fact is that the higher centers
are off the job. The governor is not
acting and the engine runs wild.
That is all.
mo one nowadays thinks drunken
ness Is we'll. What the public needs
is instruction about the destructive
effect of moderate indulgence"

BOYS AND

A man was trying to convince an
other that because of the vested inter
ests involved the people had no right
to close the breweries. His friend
answered thus: 81 have three boys.
By the time l graduate them from col
lege they will have cost mi about ten
thousand dollars apiece. Every in
terest of the brewery and everything
that the brewery stands for is diamet-
really opposed to and threatens the
investment that I have made in my
boys. No doubt the brewer has more
than thirty thousand invested In his
plant, but l am going to safeguard my
own interests first. l shall vote dry
within ten minutes after the polls
open if l can get my ballot by that
time"
