ARE YOU SELLING YOUR OLD
PAPERS AND RAGS?

A recent article in The Chicago Tri-
bune states that the thrifty housewife
now is not content with merely picking
up old pins and saving them, but is
maintaining big box in some corner of
the house, where she is storing away
every piece of scrap paper and old rags.
Later on she cashes in the results of her
industry.
Since Norway closed the door against
wood pulp exports, and England prohib-
tied the expectation of linen and cotton
rags, American paper makers have been
up against it, and are now offering 100
per cent more for common waste than
before; hence, the housewife has stopped
burning her old papers,
The government departments of COM
merce, treasury, post office and agricul-
ture have joined in the campaign by is
suing official bulletins, pointing out that
large proportion of the $4,000 tons of
different kinds of paper manufactured
in this country every day could be again
used in the manufacture of paper, if
saved. Large business concerns, such

He reported the situation as looking

HUNDREDS OF CHICAGO SALOONS
NOW VIOLATING SUNDAY
CLOSING LAW

Mayor Thompson has stated in a
lengthy interview that he estimates the
number of saloons in Chicago which are
not now observing the Sunday closing
law, as about 10 per cent, or more than
700 of the 1852 licensed saloons in the
city.
One official of the Liquor Dealers Pro-
tective Association, when interviewed,
expressed the opinion that so per cent
of the saloons in Chicago were selling
liquor on Sunday. He stated further
that the authorities could close them, and
should close them.
John w. Maskell, President of the
Chicago Liquor Dealers Association,
said
IF any saloon is open in any district,
bring in the police captain and fire him.
There isn't man enjoying unlawful
privileges in Chicago who doesn't oper-
ate with the consent of the law"

ALLIES DECLARE INTENTION TO
SEIZE PARCEL POST

A reply to the protest made recently
by the United States government against
the seizure, detention, and censoring of
neutral mails, has been received by
Secretary Lansing from the various gov
ernments of the entente allies through
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British Am
bassador.
The reply declares that no legitimate
letter mail has been confscated, nor any
treaty rights violated, but emphatically
asserts the allies intention to continue
searching parcel post packages for con-

FIRST ENGAGEMENT IN CHASE
FOR VILLA

On March 20, an American cavalry
squad of about 400 men, under Col.
Dodd, struck a portion Of Villas COM
mand, consisting of about 500 men, at
Guerrero, Chihuahua, Mexico, inficting
considerable loss in running fight last
ing five hours. Two machine guns, and
a large number of horses, saddles, and
arms were captured.
In order to overtake the Mexicans,

STRONG FIGHT TO DEFEAT
ARMOR PLANT BILL

The Democratic caucus of the House
of Representative decided on March 81
to permit amendments to the Tillman
bill, passed by the Senate recently, pro-
viding for the construction of an SILL
100000 government armor plant.
This was hailed as victory, it is
claimed, by the officials of the three great
concerns, the Carnegie Company, the
Bethlehem Steel Company, and the Mid
vale Steel Company, now enjoying a
monopoly in that industry.
It is said that more pressure is being
exerted by the powerful financial in
fluences of the country to accomplish the
defeat of this measure than has been
trained against any other bill during the
Wilson administration.
Secretary Daniels charges that the
firms which have previously monopolized
this industry, have palmed off onto the
government an inferior quality of armor
plate and armor piercing projectiles at
a high price, and that the only solution
of the problem is for the department to
own and operate it's own plant.
It is now also claimed that the Wilson
administration is planning for the es-

DRYS MAKE SOME HEADWAY IN
TUESDAYS ELECTION

The Illinois state election, held last
Tuesday, threw Waukegan, Moline and
other towns, into the dry column. The
'Wets", on the other hand won back
Bloomington and Carlinville, and re-
tanned Aurora, Lincoln, Alton, and other
points. Incomplete figures show that
between $50 and 400 saloons in the state
were eliminated, while dry territory
which contained more than $50 saloons
at the time of the 1912 Dry victory, was
won back by the saloon forces.
Waukegan's dry majority eliminates
"a saloons, and the victory was a big
surprise to the wet managers. The
saloonkeepers will have less than a
month to remain in business, as their
licenses expire on Saturday night, April
20.
In Chicago, the Thompson administra-
tion was caught in a blizzard, the vote
showing big change of sentiment since
the election last year, when he was swept
into office by an overwhelming majority.
The theocrat. [volume] (Zion City [i.e. Zion], Ill.) 1914-1949, 1916-04-08

greater majority proportionately than it
received in the House. Democratic
leaders claim that President Wilson will
not again veto the bill, as it has passed
Congress in three successive sessions,
and undoubtedly expresses the sentiment
of the majority of the American people.
