Smith Explains Bill Barring Liquor
Advertisements From Mail.
Washington. Senator Smith Of
Georgia has urged the committee on
postoffice and post roads for an early
report recommending passage of his
bill to forbid the use OF the mails for
letters, postal cards, circulars or
pamphlets advertising intoxicating
liquors in states where such adver-
Using is prohibited by law. The SEN
ator explained that an erroneous Inn
preston had been created that the
legislation he proposed would bar
newspapers containing liquor adver-
tisements from the mails.
Il do not think we could prohibit
the use of mails for circulation Of
newspapers in prohibition states" said
Senator Smith. "My bill seeks to get
at the root OF an evil. It is the postal
cards, pamphlets and circular letters
sent to citizens. and particularly the
youths, of the prohibition states, ad-
vertising liquors and quoting price
lists that we want to STOP"

Mobile.-A revised estimate of the
damage done in the city of Mobile as
a result of the tropical storm of last
week placed the total loss to build
ings, shipping, merchandise stocks,
railroads, wire companies, docks and
waterfront and other interests at ap.
proximately s1,2OO,OO0
This estimate was based upon a
careful survey of the city and of the
waterfront for a distance of about
three miles, and also upon statements
OF actual damage sustained by heads
OF firms and interests affected, and
also on information obtained from
other reliable sources.
The city has rapidly recovered from
the effects of the storm and six days
after there was but little visible evi.
dence excepting along the waterfront
and a few streets just back of the
river that Mobile had been visited by
such a severe storm. Normal condi.
lions practically have been restored
