Wilson and Prohibition
To The Editor Of the Telegraph:

To the Editor of the TeIegrGfh:
Los Angeles, Cal, Nov. 81. - The
National Engineer of November 2,
1916, contains an article credited to
your paper, that states that Woodrow
Wilson should lose no time in reply
ing to the question asked him as to
whether he has been misrepresented
by those who are using his name as
one of eleven Americans that favor
temperance but oppose prohibition.
/ think that he answered 1t before
it was asked, by opposing national
woman suffrage, and thus lining up
with the liquor interests on that ques-
tion. / am quite sure that he got the
booze vote in Los Angeles and in San
Francisco where the prohibition
voted upon were defeated.

ANOTHER OLD CUSTOM GONE

ere making elaborate preparations
for the leap year party which they
are to give Thursday night at Dun
ning's Hall.
What has become of the old time
way of observing leap year? About
all the words mean in 1916 is that
there was one more day than usual in
February and that the Fourth of July
and Christmas each Jump" one day
in their sequence. giving us Christmas
on Monday instead of on Saturday.
Not so very long ago maidens looked
upon leap year seriously and car
toonists and comic column men had a
twelve months carnival of fun on the
theme every fourth year. Tt was quite
the fashion then for girls to invite the
boys to dances and parties and to give
their favorites quite as good a time as
the boys were accustomed to show the

ant possibilities that like as not ripened
into lifelong happiness. But that is
all over and the leap year party is as
passe as hoop skirts and snuff. Per-
haps it is because every year is leap

great pains to conceal her feelings,

 NORMAL GRID SQUAD
Special to the Republican,

TEMPE, Oct. 7.-Tempe normars athletes are again lining up for the football season and Coach H. Schaeffer has all hopes of having as good or a better squad than he had last year when the normal played football for the first time in dozen years. This season he is breaking in a lot of new material, but some of the old stars are back and with a combination of the two crowds a winning eleven is looked forward to. The boys went into train ing this season a little late, but once started they are now making up for lost time. Nightly practice is the order and an additional work out was taken this morning.
 At Tempe high interest in athletic circles centers about the basketball courts where both boys and girls are at play. The first match of the season was played at Glendale this afternoon and Gn enthusiastic lot accompanied the two squads to boost for a victory.
