Judge Lands Has Cuspidors Distribut-

CHICAGO, April s. The great
American practice of chewing tobac-
co and splitting the juice will not be
denied the ia l. w. WIS on trial in
Judge Lands court for violation Of
the espionage laws and charged with
obstructing Americas war work
Judge Lands, when the trial got I'M
der way after two combinations be-
cause of illness of two of the defend
ants, ordered that sixty cuspidirs be
furnished and distributed in strategic
places.
When Judge Lands ordered the clerk
to requisition the "spittoons" the de-
PENDANTS beamed and smiled on him.
Following this preparation, Judge
Lands ordered the case to proceed
and the first batch of veniremen were
called. The 1. w. WIS listened with
much interest while the talesmen were
Quizzed or talked in whispers among
themselves. Some wrote notes and
others read l. w. w. literature.
big Bill" Haywood, the big man in
the organization, was there but sat to
one side. Near him sat George And

forehead, stiff black hair, a pale ami
mated face, wearing glasses. He was
the solemnest man in court and quite
absorbed in his wife, 1.-The girl in

long ago she tried to pass her hus-
band, sweetheart then, note in the
county Jail. She said she was only
16. but looked older.
District Attorney Charles F. Clyne
opened the battle with his first ques-
ton put to Thomas w Allison, father
of Brent Dow Allison, who will be
classed as a deserter if he is not at
Camp Grant by tonight. Allison said
he had read books and articles on
sabotage, but there was nothing to
prevent him serving as a juror. He
was rejected. He was the first juror

Federal Prohibition Amendment Enemies in
Session Today Plan Estates Rights" Move

more than one candidate In the field,
it is indicated that they will settle on
the strongest man and his chances of
election are good.
Both anti-amendists and prohibi-
tionists are not unmindful of the COM
position of the legislature. In every
district the anti-amendists will strive
to elect a representative who will OPP
pose ratification of the Federal
amendment If he opposes prohibi-
ton as a whole so much the better.
A few anti-amendist leaders see an
opportunity of completely overthrow
ing the prohibition laws of the state
and putting Alabama in the wide
open" column.
In prohibition elections heretofore
hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been supplied by northern liquor
interests to further the anti-prohibi-
ton cause. 1t is doubtful If much
money from this source will be in
sight during the coming campaign.
News comes to Alabama that northern
liquor interests are already hard hit
by Federal legislation and that the
liquor men north of Ohio will not be
willing to put up any great amount of
money to swing Alabama to the wet
column 1t is understood that some
of the greatest liquor interests of the
country regard national prohibition as
a foregone conclusion.
But Alabama, one of the first states
in the south to go dry some ten or
twelve years ago. will witness an
other hard fight before the white rib
bon of prohibition is stretched across
the nation

Medical Corps Today Begins Nationwide
Campaign Against Respiratory Diseases

WASHINGTON. April 4.-Respira-
tory diseases having caused PRACTICAL
ly all the sick and death rate in the
nations new armies, the Medical corps
today began a nationwide campaign
of prevention against pneumonia,
measles. diphtheria, influenza and
tuberculosis
All of the diseases mentioned are
spread or communicated in the same
way-through the transfer of nasal
and mouth secretions. The sickness
rate in camps throughout the coun-
try could be cut to a minimum if
the soldiers and the general public as
well stopped promiscuous coughing,
sneezing and splitting
The difficulty of controlling these
diseases, it was pointed out at the
Surgeon-General's office today, lies in
the fundamental fact that human be-
ings scatter their nose and mouth Sc
cretions without any consideration
despite rules and regulations to the
contrary
One sneeze in a crowded car could
infect many persons in the car with
pneumonia, or measles, or diphtheria,
or humps, or meningitis, or infantile
paralysis, or tuberculosis One hearty
cough could do the same. In either
case, spread of any of these diseases
could be prevented if a sneezer or a
cougher used his handkerchief as a
cough catcher" to sneeze or cough
in.
Unlike some disease germs, the
germs which cause the diseases men
toned do not die or become harmless
upon drying. So that when they are
dried and blown about with the dust
they are still capable of setting up
disease in many other people. The
problem of the respiratory diseases
which confronts Surgeon General Cor
gas and the army medical corps is
serious. Apparently, however, the pub
lie generally is totally ignorant of the
Unreasonable harm that is done by
unguarded and promiscuous coughing.
sneezing and splitting
Army medical corps experts, who
have given untiring study to this
problem, have reached the conclusion
that national campaign must be in
augurated at once, not only in the
camps, but in the homes, in the Of
fices, in the street cars, and in all
public places, to stamp out this wide
spread habit of splitting and cough
ing, if health conditions for our SOL
diers are to be improved.
They feel that such a campaign is
as important in every way for the OBJ
ject to be achieved as was the now

NEW YORK, April 3.-The U. s. A.
congressman and senators know lot
of things, but not babies.
Else why did they pass the daylight
saving bill and fail to take a million
babies into account. A couple of mil

to you, Mr.. Congressman, was there
anything in the history of legislating
to warn you of this?

URGE THE SECURING OF
STEEL PLATES PROMPTLY

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Learning
that the shortage of steel plates is
mainly responsible for holding up the
production of ships needed to rush
troops to France the senate commerce
committee voted this afternoon to ap-
peal directly to President Wilson to
take a hand in the situation. The
committee, on motion of Senator
Harding, of Ohio decided to send a
committee, consisting of Senator
Fletcher, of Florida, and Chairman
Hurley, of the shipping board, to the
president to secure the action needed
to get steel plates.
