Keep the devil on the run when the

when its down near zero.
That is the philosophy OF Rev. A. F.

Of revival services to begin Wednes-
day night in his church.

when he wades into sin and he expects
his audience to be comfortable, too.

Pastor Has No Fear of Heat;
He's Going to Haze Reuiual

When his attention was called to
the fact that most Richmond churches
dispense with part of their services
during July and August he said he
vas forced to have services because OF
the evangelistic interest among his
people.
We've had fifteen sinners at the
mourner's bench in the last four Sun
days." he said, land our attendance
has been good
The pastor will do all the preaching
and the meetings will continue as long
as the interest does. Rev. Mr.. Balls

tic experience in Kentucky, Kansas

Methods of preparing and feeding
the battahons of Home Guard troops
that will. be in Bridgeport for the
Universal Service parade on Indepen-

by city officials and members Of the
Chamber of Commerce committee
aiding in the preparations.
Whether the $500 men in uniform
will be fed under military regulations
and the discipline of camp for the
practice that such work will entail or
will otherwise be the guests of the
city or civic organizations are mat
tiers which are to be determined by
the municipality and city officials.
These are matters which will be de-
ferred to the judgment of the mill
tary officials.
Should the quartermaster' depart

les Of the Home Guard will be fur

NEW HAVEN ROAD
TO REPAIR BRIDGES

New Haven, June 15.-To carry out
it's program of strengthening or. re-
building its bridges to meet war de-
mands, the New Haven will work on
SO bridges on it's lines, this summer,
according to an announcement yes
terday. It will take 1853 tons of
structural steel, much Of which was
ordered months ago. At present
prices this steel is figured to be worth
about $2,60O,000.
The most important Of the bridge
jobs is that over the Thames river in
New London. Others of first impor-
tanoe are those in P,oughkeepsie;
over the Connecticut in Hartford; and
the Mystic river drawbridges. Among
other bridges on which work will be
done are these: Nine between Will
mantle and New Haven; five between
Willimantic and Hartford; seven each
between Putnam and Boston and
Meriden Junction and Dublin street,
| Waterbury: five between Westfield
and Holyoke; SO between Milford and

ling the breweries and distilleries to
close down absolutely, it would still
permit the manufacture of wines and
impose no restriction upon the sale
Of distilled spirits held in bond,
amounting to almost 300,000,0O0 gal
Ions, an amount sufficient to sup
ply the country for several years. The
d1shllers, moreover, it is und
would welcome the chance to dispose
Of these bonded liquors.
But should the bill pass in it's pro-
posed. form its advocates believe that
the President, rather than have the
country take to hard liquor imme-
diately would order the seizure of
the whiskey in bond for other uses,
and also would stop the making of
wine, thereby making the country
absolutely dry for the war period.
The introduction of this bill fore
shadows a close fight in the Senate.
It will be between the radical pro-
hibitionists and the food conserva-
tionists. The forces of prohibition
for prohibitions sake will come to
a clash with the proponents of the
restriction Of the manufacture of
distilled spirits, who believe that the
country will be better off with whis-
key eliminated for the period Of the
war or longer, but who feel that the
obliteration Of the brewing and wine
manufacturing interests for the sake
of the extreme advocates of prohi-
bition' is an unnecessary and unset
entific method of advancing the
cause of real temperance.
The Finance Committee has voted
to report out a provision of the> war
revenue bill, now in the final stages
Of its second draft, which will place
a prohibitive tax on the uses of
grain and syrups in the manufac-
ture of distilled alcoholic beverages.
This committee, with the exception
of Senator Gore, who is a member
of both committees, favors non-in-
reference with the brewing and
wine making Industries except in SO
far as increased taxation of their
products for revenue purposes is
concerned.
The radical prohfbitionist mem
bers Of the Agriculture Committee
announce their purpose to force a
vote on the prohibition issue this
session. On the other hand, there
Is a conservative sentiment in the
Senate which is thought to control
that body by narrow majority and

Use of Non-Perishable
Raw Materials

Washington, June 1.-THE Senate
Committee ON Agriculture directed
Chairman Gore yesterday to draft and
report a bill for the conservation of
food stuffs now going into the manu-
facture Of alcoholic beverage prod
ucts which will assume the most
drastic form of any OF the dry" leg
islation" proposed at ths present ses-
sion of Congress. The measure will
be in the form of a separate enact
ment, with foodstuff conservation as
it's title and with prohibition as COM
plete as can be effected by any in
direct legislation as its object
The bill will be a combination of two
amendments to the pending food con-
troll legislation proposed by Senator
Gore. The first provision is for the
prohibition of the use of all non-per-
ishable foodstuffs in the manufacture
Of beverage alcohol, with the pro-
vision that the President be author
lied at any time it may seem in his
judgment to be necessary to prohibit
the use Of the perishable raw ma
teria1s of alcoholic beverage manufac-
ture.
A second provision Of the Gore bill
will authorize and direct the Presi-
dent to commander for purposes of
rehabilitation for use in the arts, par
ticuraly in the manufacture of mu-
nitions, the entire nation supply of

lies within a month, according to
passengers who arrived at an Amer1-
can port yesterday on Norwegian
STEAMER The poorer people in Nor
way are starving because they have
not the money to purchase food at
the prices asked today. For the last
two years the cost Of food. clothing
and fuel has scaled to heights where
only wealthy people can buy. and the
workingmen of Norway are on the
verge of revolution.
One passenger declared that in
Norway the belief is that the only
way to obtain food at reasonable
prices and thus eliminate the food
gamblers 10 to join with the allies
and appoint food dictator.
"a group of men in Norway have
made millions by the manipulations
of the food market" this passenger
continued. Food that should have
been kept for home consumption was
shipped to Germany at war prices
even when the people of the cities
were starving. Last winter coal was
500 a ton, and was scarce even at
that price. To make, matters worse
the catches of fish was far below
normal, and the supply of smoked
fish, which forms the main diet of the
agricultural classes in the winter was
very limited.
Another theory in. Norway today is
that continued neutrality will cause
the allies to place an embargo on the
export of foodstuffs to Norway. With
I Norway in the war against Germany
further export of food to Germany
would be halted and prices would
soon adjust themselves

which promises to stop the radical
ism of the prohibition group while
conceding that there is a large
measure of virtue in their argu-
ments against whiskey.
This group includes the, members
of the Finance Committee who are
unwilling to destroy the revenue pro-
ducing power of the 300,000,000 gal
Ions of distilled spirits in the bond
ed warehouses of the country as well
as the moderate temperance advo-
Gates who do not recognize in beers
the same menace to society, law and
order and the same detriment to the
morale of the nation as they are
willing to admit exist in whiskey and
other distilled intoxicants.
- In the House the food control bill
will be taken up Monday and passed
next week. An amendment making
mandatory the prohibition Of the use
of foodstuffs for the manufacture
of distilled liquors is being prepared
by the House prohibition advocates
with the full expectation that it will
be adopted as substitute for the
section which leaves the question Of
prohibition to the discretion of the
resident.
Leaders in the House not 1oentl-
fled with the prohibition cause admit
that such an amendment would stand
an excellent chance of adoption and
probably would be presented. AS
opposition to the bill so far has not
concentrated in any other direction
the treatment of other sections is
problematica1. With respect to the
prohibition feature, however, a plan
for prohibiting the use of foodstuffs
for distilled spirits would undoubt-
eddy command a stronger vote in
the House than proposition which
coupled beer and light wines within
