lion, 'if you get off it will be on

perior officer and by the head of

somebody designated by him to

Work for a General.
THE assumption is that you

try, and that some one else can be

That is the way 1t goes all day
long. The major is not really sup
posed to interpret the law at all,
he is just designated to furnish
casual information to governors,
$50 local boards and $40 federal
boards, and, incidentally to take
care of the newspaper men who
may want to know things. Gull
lion has already earned a promo
ton from captain to major, and
If he survives he will be a gen.

DECLARE WAR ON
RIVER BOAT ORGIES
Phila. Commission Will Seek
Legislation Regulating
Liquor Sales
SAID TO BE NO
LEGAL CONTROL NOW

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. July 25.-I
There is no law at present that con-
trolls or curtails the sale Of liquor
on boats on tho Delaware river or
any Of our interstate streams said
Clinton Rogers Woodruff, discussing
an evil which he and other members
of the Social Service Commission OF
the Protestant Episcopal Diocese Of
Pennsylvania have tired in vain 10
remedy. Mr.. Rogers is chairman Of the
commission.
The result OF this lack OF leglsla-
tino in the matter he says, Is that
boats where liquor is sold frequently
become the scene OF wild orgies and
immortality.
'As long ago as 1914" said Mr..
Woodruff, "the Rev Or. c. Woolsey
Hodge brought the matter mp before
the Social Service Commission and a
committee, OF which he and Dr.
Washhurn. rector OF Old Christ
Church, took an active part IN pro-
noting the necessary Federal legis-
lation TO give 10 the Federal authori-
ties adequate power 20 control the
situation. This committee sought the
cooperation OF other religious bodies
in this city, and also took the matter
up at the st. Louis meeting OF tho
lnterchurch Federation last year
THE bill was strongly urged. but
died in the Senate committee. No
amount Of pressure seemed TO he able
90 dislodge It. and it died with the
session on March 4. Had this bill
become a law. Il would have prevent
ed the sale Of liquor on the boats on
the Delaware and other inter-stste
streams. and thus eliminated what
has become a 1agrant scandal.
"Dr. Hodge. whose church ls az
Broad and South streets, and whose
parish extends east Of that, and Dr.
Washburn. whose parish takes In a
part OF the river front, are specially
interested because Of the proximity
TO the boat landings
The bill which died q natural death
forbade the Tale Of liquor on boats
plying on interstates sstreams-like the
Mississippi or the Delaware"
But Mr. Woodruff says the commits
sion will not let the matter rest. I'VE
will reintroduce the bill whenever II
seems best" he said. "as soon as
pressing war legislation Is out Of the
way Ak PRESENT. uu l4VuuI - eulu on

AMERICAN CARS IN DEMAND
Countries Which Are Not In War Zone
Must Buy in Our Market--No
Other Source of Supply.

Limits have been predicted for the
automobile business, but, like the far
horizon, the limits recede as time goes
on, says Boston Globe. Predictions that
the business will cease to expand and
commerce to shrink remain unfulflled.
Large concerns for the manufacture of
cars constantly prepare for increased
production.
Besides the domestic demand, which
Is still unsatisfied, the demand from
abroad is insistent. Countries which
are not in the war must buy In our
market. No other source of supply, suf-
ticient to meet the requirements Of
neutral nations, Is to be found outside
OF the war zone. The fighting nations
must buy, If they are not blockaded,
for their machine shops are busy
manufacturing munitions. When the
war is at an end the demand will re-
main. The United States Is the only
marion wnfth' produces aiiuiff0mobi1ss m
sufficient quantities to mike them
cheap.
Ihe manufacturers of motor cars In
this country have been through some
rather trying times since the war start
ed. This is particularly true of the
past year, in which materials and sup
plies have been difficult to obtain.
Economies, to which this new business
mas not been accustomed, have been
forced upon the producers. The result
mas been for their benefit. In cases
where prices have risen the rise was
preceded by scrutiny of the cost of
manufacture in every detail. Methods
OF saving expense have been intro
duced. The extravagances character
lstic OF mushroom business growth
nave been discovered and plucked. The
result is that the business is now in a
condition to meet demands and com.
petition as it has never been before.

Camp Sewer. soldiers
Of the Hath Field Artillery are now
receiving their first training with real
three-inch artillery guns. Two new
and up-to-date guns were received by
the regiment and placed in the field
for instructions and drills The guns
and caissons were placed in the care
Of Capt. Robert Bailey Of the supply
company and turned over to the COM
inanders for the purpose of instruct
ing the soldiers.
With the guns now in the regiment
the actual training in artillery work
Ii being rushed, and before many
weeks have passed the soldiers should
be ready for active service. For the
present only instructions and drills
and the mechanism of the guns is be-
ing taught. 1t was announced, how
ever, that it would be only a short
while until the regiment would go to
the artillery range for instruction in
firing. The boys are anxious to get
the training with the guns and have
knuckled down to hard work with a
rush.
