URGE DRY AMENDMENT.
Congress Heights Methodists De
nounce Bainbridge Colby.

Impressed with tho fact that prohi-
bition Is necessary for the successful
prosecution of the war. members Of
the Congress- Heights Methodist
Church in mass meeting Sunday after
noon drew up resolutions unanimously
approving tho Jones amendment to
the food production bill prohibiting
the manufacture and sale Of alcoholic
beverages. Ba!nbridge Colby OF the
shipping board Is denounced in the
resolutions.
The resolutions says that the plac-
Ing OF the United States Army and
Navy on dry" basis has been fol-
lowed by a demonstration OF in
creased efficiency.
I'VE believe" It continues, that the
working men in the shipyards and
other industries Of this country would
render better and more efficient serv-
ice under a dry regime. We also de-
nounce as absurd and a slander on the
patriotic American workers in the
|shipyards the statement of Mr.. Colby
Of the shipping board that war pro-
hibition would result in 25 per cent
decrease in production OF ships. The
underlying this conclu-
sion is that the workers would lie
down on their jobs and not do their
best II their beer should be taken
from them"

TRAIN DOGS TO LEAD
BLIND FRENCH SOLDIERS
Thousands of Animals Will Be
Used for Purpose.

Plessis- Trevise, France, April l..
correspondence of The Associated
Press S)-Training of dogs to lead
the blind has become an important
institution here where thousands OF
animals will eventually be prepared
to lead sightless soldiers. The
work is being done under the direc-
ton of the military authorities by
amateurs who owned kennels OF po-
lice and hunting dogs before the
war.
Several hundred poodles are con-
tinually trotting about the neigh
borhood and through the village,
some of them graduate" Of the
big training school, leading 'poilus'
who left their sight in the trenches
or in the battlefield. This real eX-
pericnce puts the finishing touch
o the dogs education.
The training is divided into two
periods, during the first of which
he dog learns what is called car
iage,' or road behavior, abstenance
rom quarrels and resistance to
temptations to playing with other
togs, neglect OF garbage boxes and
butcher shops. Next he is taught
II avoid obstacles and how to pick
his way across the street with re-.
gard for vehicles.
Then he is turned over to sight
less hero of the war and kept un-
der observation for few days 10
make sure that his training is com
plete.
The blind man, too. requires 4,
little training with the dog, for he
finds it an entirely different mat
ter to follow the string after having
been led by the arm. Guided by 4
person, he abandons himself to his
conductor and loses all notion OF
self reliance, feeling that he is dom
mated by another will than his own.
Consequently he insufficiently de
velops his remaining senses to make
up for the one that is lacking Led
by dog which must be ordered, no
matter how efficient his training, he
develops the senses OF touch and
hearing with remarkable rapidity
through the necessity OF remain
ng constantly attentive.
