DEMAND FOR WHALES
Oil from Heads Needed for the Modern
Battleships

News dispatches telling OF the recent
of three sperm whales by Grays
Harbor hunters serve as a reminder
that the ancient industry in whaling
has undergone a noteworthy revival in
the last few years. 1t is an interest
ing fact that this revival has been due
largely to the development of the bat
tleship, one Of the most modern Gre
ations Of man.
Hundreds of Whalers from American
ports sailed the seas in the times be
fore the civil war. when whale oil was
used for lighting. The discovery of
petroleum caused a slump in the in
dustry. Historic New Bedford and
Nantucket became the boneyards Of a
once mighty fleet. and the race Of
hardy American mariners developed by
whaling became almost extinct. The
old a passed into tradition.
But as ships. and particularly bat
tleships, grew in size and number it
was found that for use in certain of
the bearings in their ponderous en-
gines there was nothing that would
quite take the place of case OIL"
found in the head of the sperm whale,
which is strangely clear n does not
disintegrate under great pressure and
heat. So Whalers began to take to the
sea again. They are not so primitive
as those of the older generation, but
their cargoes are more than ever in
demand.-Portland Oregonian.

themselves to statewide prohibition,

posed constitutional p r o h b i i O n
amendment. Statutory prohibition now
prevails in Iowa.
should the amendment be carried,
the sale and manufacture of liquor
would be prohibited by the constitution
and it would be impossible for the
state again to vote on the question
until 1921 and Their only through the
election of two consecutive legislatures
which would vote to re-submit the
amendment. On the other hand a wet
victory will not mean the immediate

the state has been dry two years must
first be repealed. That would not be
possible until the icy Legislature
convenes two years hence.
