DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA WILL
BE DRY IN YEAR OR 50

Washington, Aug. 22.-The District
of Columbia will be as dry as bone
after one or two years. The ''drys"
are determined to put the Capital of
the Nation out of the liquor business,
and they will succeed by the aid of
North Carolina. Every Tar Heel
Congressman who does not run away
from a vote will line up for the pro-
hibitionists The fight for a "dry"
Washington is already on. Once the
Capital is dry" the efforts of the an
ti-iquor people will be directed to
drying up the Nation.
The "drys", who are pretty crafty
folk, think that they can work better
in the States if the District of Column
bia is dry.
Old John Barleycorn is on the to-
boggan, sliding toward the driest ter
ritory in the United States. He is be-
ing cuffed from California to Maine,
and from Washington to Florida The
next Congress will be asked to pass a
law wiping out all the bar rooms of
the District, and if a bill carrying such
a proposition comes up it will go
through as if creased.

THE DOLLAR.

Philadelphia Public Ledger
President Wilson wishes to inter
nationalize the United States dollar.
Admirable!
The dollar ought to be the coin in
which all the Americans think from
Patagonia to the North Polar Sea.
There are many different dollars and
have been since the first one was
made five centuries ago in Germany,
but ours is the best dollar that is or
was.
Washington Irving labeled it 'the
almighty dollar, that great object of
universal devotion throughout the
land" In the Spanish-Americar
countries they invariably refer to the
dollar of our Republic as "dollar
gold" which there is a dollar Mex"
the Mex being short for Mexican.
Roughly speaking. our dollar is
worth two Mexican dollars. They use
dollars in China and down in the Ma
lay peninsula. There is Dutch dol
lar in the various islands belonging
to Holland
Germany's standard of value was
also a dollar until after the Franco
Prussfan war, when mark was put
upon the throne.
The first dollar was made from sill
yer mined in Bohemia, and it was
called a "Joachim's thafer."
1t bore an efffgy of st. Joachim.
That tha1er has had manv different
dresses. such as da1er. da1ar. daol-
der, ta11ero before budding forth into
the English language as dollar.
Our American dollar was born the
year the Constitution Of the United
States was made in independence
square. Governor Norris was the
daddy of our dollar and cents.
Up until that time the American
Colonies and States had used the
Engl's h pounds, shillings. pence anu
farthings. Down in the Spanish lands
they had what all our best story writ.
ers never fail to mention as pieces OF
eight Thew we're very often called
dollars by those who used them.
But the United States dollar has
stability as we'll as history behind IL.
It is what Frederick T. Chandler
would call very pretty money.
1t would be great advance TOWARD
that dreamed-of Pan-America were
this gold dollar to become the none
tarv unit for the whole Western Hem
isphere.

AN UNDERsEA ENGAGEMENT.

Paris, Aug-Details of the actor in
which a German torpedo boat Destroy
er was sunk by a French destroyer on
the night of August 1928 are contain
ed in Hayas dispatch from Dunkirk
The German destroyer was more
powerful than the French. the dis
patch says and the commander of the
French boat asked by wireless for as
sistance. He did not wait, however,
for the arrival of help but engaged the
German craft. The French boat fired
first and scored a hit. She then
launched a torpedo which sank her
adversary.
After the first shot took effect the
damaged German vessel limped to-
wards Ostend where a German coast
battery fired at a pursuing DESTROYER
but succeeded only in preventing the
the rescue by the French destroyer of
the crew of the sinking German boat.

Other on the 6osPorus.
By a strange phenomenon, If the
south wind prevails the superficial cur
rent Of the Bosporus is reversed,
though the inferior current continues
its accustomed course. Then the wa
tiers on the surface are piled tumultu-
Ously back upon one another, and the
quays, which are several feet above
the ordinary Bosporus level, are food
ed and perhaps made impossible At
such times caiques and smaller boats
do not dare to venture upon the tenn
pestuous surface.
Sometimes q strong wind blows
northward from the Marmora, and an
other wind as strong blows with equal
violence southwark from the Black
sea, Then, as one gazes from some
central point like Roumen Hissar, he
beholds ships under full sail majestic
ally approaching each other from both
directions till at last they are, only
two or three miles apart. Between
them lies belt Of moveless sea, into
which they are forced and on which

haps crash into each others sides.
This is a duel royal between Boreas
and Notus and may continue for hours.
Gradually the zone of calm is forced
north or south. At last one wind with
draws like a defeated champion from
the arena. The ships which it has
brought thus far drop their anchors
and wait or else hire one Of the nu-
merous steam tugs which are padding
expectantly about The ships which
have come with the victorious wind
triumphantly resume their course, and
meanwhile their sailors mock and jeer
their fellow mariners whose breeze
has failed them.-From Constantine

the physical strength is expected to

wound headdress Of the hadji is of
white cloth, but a sayid's, or descend
ant Of Mohammed, is of green. Some
times the mosque officials, or imams,
even when they are not of the proph-
cts blood, wear the green turban.
Only the men wear any sort OF head

1t is a sad day for Christianity when

tide of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;

Montgomery, July 3.-(Special. )-Gover- nor Henderson today wrote to Attorney General William l..

 The letter of the governor, the second he has written this week to the attor- hey general in regard to the recovery of public funds paid out illegally, was in response to a request from that official for definite advice on the subject The attorney general. in his reply to the gov ernor's first letter, called the attention Of the executive to the fact that he (the attorney genera) had no authority to dlfect an examiner to conduct an investi- gation of any department or institution without being specifically directed to do so by the governor
 MT. Martin referred to the fact that he has at present claim on his desk for S5OO0 against the Alabama Fidelity and Casualty company on the bond of c. H. Biilingsley, suit upon which has not been brought for the reason that he had hoped for friendly settlement with the com pany
 The governor commended MT. Martin 5 attitude towards the adjustment of this claim; urged that he procure a copy of the findings of the Investigating commit tee, and that he investigate any reports or rumors relative to the illegal payment of state moneys.

ATHLETIC MEET WILL BE HELD THURSDAY NespOr Has Boys and Girls of City Fairgrounds in
 Shape for Events

The girls and boys athletic meets will be held Thursday afternoon at the fairgrounds. The boys meet will start at 1 D. m. and also the events in the girls S5-pound class The city cham pionship meet for the girls will not be- gin before p. m. in order to allow the employed girls time to reach the grounds before the meet begins.
 A number of girls who were not able to enter last Thursday on account of picnics will be able to get in this time and pumber of playground girls have decided to enter, which will bring the total number of entrants to 300 girls
 The boys were not disappointed oyer the meet being called off but happy that they had another week to train in, and also a chance to enter more men in the tournament
 There has been little misunder- standing about the athletes who are. eligible to compete in the classes from the 115-pound class up. This class. which is called the unregistered class. takes in everybody from 115 pounds up to an athlete that hasn't competed at the fairgrounds In an A. A. A. u. meet or S. I. A. A.
 This will give the boys who have heen timid about trying out against the the crack runners a chance to com pete.
 Nineteen playgrounds have entered .he meet, which is very encouraging to Z Nespor. Some of the playground
