MOUNT PLEASANT
BUFFALO COACH
Former Carlisle Football Star

- This Season

The University of Buffalo expects to
break into football stronger than ever

TRACTOR PLANS FOR SCHOOL

Pleasing lines are incorporated in a
new tractor biplane which has been
built for an aviation school at North
Island, San Diego, Cal. 1t mounts a
horsepower motor which is capable
of giving the craft a speed of 65 miles
an hour when it is carrying three per-
sons, and sufficient fuel to last two
hours. 1t may be throttled down to
80 miles an hour with safety. With
a full load it is able to climb at rate
of 400 TT. a minute. The machine is
quite similar to one type of craft which
has recently been delivered at the
army aeronautic station in California.
A picture of the machine appears in
the October Popular Mechanics Maga-
zine.

To the Editor of THE EvENINs
JOURNAL:
Sir-Whatever relationship there
may be between The number of pro-
hibition States and the quantity Of IL
Quors consumed per capita in the
United States each year may be iudg-
ed from the accompanyi-g chart. made
up from the history of the prohibi-
ton movement and the official record
Of annual per capita consumption OF
liquors.
When there were two prohibition
States lin 1850 the per capita con-
sumption IF liquor was a little more
than four gallons . year.
When there were four prohibition
States lin 1880 the per capita con-
sumption of liquor was ten gallons a
year.
When there were seven prohibition
States Tin 1890 the per Capita con-
sumption of liquor was sixteen gallons
a year.
When there were nine prohibition
States lin 1870 the per capita con-
sumption of liquor was over twenty
two gallons year.
The same ratio prevailed in 1914.
The various decreases in the con
sumption OF liquor from time to time,
as shown by the chart followed gem
arai business depression. Sharp drops
are noticeable following the financial
depression Of 1898. 1907 and 1913-14
Since the close of the present fiscal
Year, ending June 30. 1915, there has
been decided improvement in general
business conditions. and there has
been a marked increase in the con-
sumption of liquors since that time. as
shown by recent government reports.
One of the explanations offered for
the fact that prohibition has not had
a more marked effect IN the matter OF
reducing the per capita consumption
of LIQUORS is that il is lawful for per-
sons living in prohibition States TO re-
ceive shipments of liquors from Ii
cense States.
For instance. the prohibition law of
Alabama provides that each citizen
may receive, lawfully. twelve gallons
Of whisky a year. whereas the national
per caDita consumption of whisky Is
onlv about a gallon and a half.
