 Two questions of transcendent impor- tance, alike from the political and mora points of view, now engage the popular attention-outside the world war mon opodzing it-prohibition and woman suf- frage.
 They are generic in character and kind VIII prohibition prohibit? Or, will ii breed evils yet worse than drink? In doubling the number of voters by add Ing the women to the men shall we ele- Vate and purify franchise confessedly defective Or shall we abolish woman mood and open the ways for feminism, With it's attendant train of infidelity, lmpiousness and free love?
 Never has the country had to consider pubhc policies more revolutionary. They orlve deep into the vitals of the home and the state. In nationalizing them thelr authors and supporters break down equally the limitations of sex and the barriers of the organic law and set up at Washington centralized oligarchy foreign to the letter and the spirit of the original compact of colonial sovereisn- ties. It is safe to say that the constl- tuition could never have been adopted had such federal invasions and suppress slons of local self government been fore cast.

coming tower. Lieut.. Sir John Alleyne
and Lieut.. V. A. G. Crutchley were
Still within. Commander Godsal was
close to the tower outside. Lieut.. AL
leyne was stunned by the shock.
Lieut.. Crutchley shouted through the
Slit to the commander, and receiving
no answer, rang for the port engine
1ull speed astern, to help the swinging
snip. By this time she was lying at
an angle of about 40 degrees to the
pier and seemed to be hard fast; so, i
was impossible to bring her farther
around.
After working the engines some
minutes to no effect, Lieutenant
Crutchley gave the order to clear the
engine room and abandon ship, accord
ing to the program previously laid
down.
Engineer Lieutenant Commander
William A. Bury, who was the last to
leave the engine room, blew the main
charges by switch installed aft. Lieu
tenant Crutchley blew the auxiliary
charges in the forward six-inch maya
zine IRON the coming tower.
| Her Work Is Finished.
Those on board felt the old ship
shrug, as the explosive tore the bottom
plates and brlkheads from her. She
sank about six feet and lay upon the
bottom Of the channel.
"Her work was done.
1T Is to be presumed that Com
mander GOdsal was killed by the shell
which struck the coming tower. Lieu
tenant Crutchley, searching the ship
before he left her, failed to find his
body or that of Sublieut. MacLachlar

BUILD FABRICATED VESSELS
Component Parts Of British Ship.
Made Inland and Assembled on
Coast.

Observation-Disclosures vessels are
one of the latest and most interesting
developments Of Great Britain's ship
building drive. A fabricated ship is
one whose component parts are manu-
featured in other than shipbuilding
yards, usually In plants inland. The
new fabricated ship is larger than
most Of the standard ships and there
is not a curved frame in it.
In fabrication Of ships the aim was
to increase speed Of production and
also to utilize for shipbuilding pur-
poses such plants as bodybuilding
yards and land engine factories.
It is expected that ships Of the new
type soon will materially increase the
| tonnage output.

MYSTERIOUS "Brontides."

Mystery still attaches to certain ex-
plosive sounds, heard in various parts
of the world and known to science as
"brontides." On the coast of Belgium
these sounds seem to come from the
sea, and are called locally "mistpoef-
fers." In the Ganges delta of India,
similar sounds are called "Barisal
guns" Brontides are well known in
some parts of Italy, where they bear
a great variety of names. In Haiti a
sound of this character is known as
the "gouffre," while in parts of Aus
tralia it is called the desert sound"
Brontides mostly take the form of muf-
fled detonations, of indefinite direction
Probably they are of subterranean or
igin. Studies of eccentricities in the
transmission of sound through the at.
mosphere lead to the conclusion that
some of the sounds hitherto reported
as brontides were really due to can
nonading or blasting.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

Counterfeiter Shortage
Another Result of War

Washington. The war has
caused a shortage even Of coun-
terfeiters.
The spurious ten-dollar note,
the fashioning Of which was the
favorite indoor sport of a group
of skilled imitators, has prac-
tically disappeared, it was said
by secret service operatives, who
are inclined to the belief that
the slump is directly due to the
war. 1t was thought that the
foreign members Of these bands
had been rounded up In the
mobilization Of reservists, and
that the Americans had been
taken in the draft. However,
secret service operatives are not
resting on their oars. On the
contrary, recognizing the posi-
bility Of new talent appearing
almost at any time, they are
continuing to subject the ma
tons paper currency to the
closest scrutiny.

refused to be rattled and every ball had zip to it. McInnis conducted d one man patrol of No Mans Land 1n the vicinity of the pitchers box and called the turn magnificently on Wort mans attempted bunt. Tossing the ball to Thomas. he headed off Merkle, Baf- Der. the next man up. hit a line drive. It was moving fast, but Scott was on the move too. With another of his in comparable one hand scoops he started one of those lightning double plays, Shean to McInnis. which killed off the game rally of the hard dying Cubs.
 Weather Not Auspicious
 The weather for the opening game in the east was inauspicious in the morn- ing, but in the afternoon 1t cleared off, although a cold north wind gave a touch of October atmosphere to tine game.
 Predictions of capacity crowd were not fulfilled. as there were only 23. 3.000 present. The roofing. however, was fully up to the world series standard and the applause was very sportsman ly. divided among all contestants.
 Indications tonight were that the batteries for the fifth worlds series game tomorrow would be Jones and Agnew for the Boston Red Sox and either Vaughn or Hendrix and Killifer for the Chicago Cubs.

sharply to second. but was thrown cut. Killifer scoring in the melee. Leslie Mann then tied up the game with sharp single to left which scored Me- Cabe. Fred Thomas ended the agony by throwing out Paskert at first on a slow bounding roller.
 Red Sox Out For BIoods
 Boston went into its half of the eighth full of venom at having to win the game all over again. For the first time in the series they found a right handler facing them in the box. Douglas replacing Tyler. Schang, batting for Agnew; lost no time in demonstrating that the Red Sox were out for blood. He soaked a single to center and on a short passed ball. sped to second. Cap tain Hooper was at bat and he laid down a crafty bunt, which Douglas heaved wildly in the general direction of Merkle.
 By the time the ball was recovered, Schang was home with the winning run and Hooper was perched on second. Shean, Strunk and Whiteman made a tame ending of the inning.
 Cubs Swan Song Heartbreaker
 The swan song of the Cubs in the last inning was a heartbreaker. Ruth had attained even greater wildness. Merkle. the first man up. singled after Babe threatened to pass him. Filling up his cup of woe, Ruth then passed Zeider. There apparently was no limit to his passes and Manager Barrow, feeling the humiliation as much as the big pitcher himself, called Babe from the box and sent in Bullet Joe Bush. As Ruth's heavy artillery might still be badly needed, however. he was not ex- lied. but was sent to left field in place of Whiteman.
 It was tough place for Bush but he

 These Mexican aliens should present their passports to the registering offi- Ger at the time they register. and the employers of such laborers should make every effort to see that their em- ployes promptly fill out and return their questionnaires.

RAILWAY COMPANY
 NEEDS MORE CASH

An application yesterday was filed with the corporation commission uy the Arizona Extension Railway com pany of Clarkdale for permission to is- sue additional bonds to the amount ot S130,000 or $140,000.
 The corporation commission on April 3, 1917, authorized the Arizona Exten- sion Railway company to issue and sell $4.000.000 in capital stock and also $4,- 100000 in first mortgage bonds Tor the purpose of extending the railroad. The company has found that on Ac- count of the unusual conditions the cost of making the extension had been far greater than anticipated and they therefore ask permission to issue more bonds,

1t means, too, STICKING to the lob. And
there is one of our gravest dangers. America

Stop Using Dangerous Drug Before
it Salivates You.
It's Horrible,

You're bilious, sluggish, constipated

calomel to start your liver and clean
your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for bottle of Dodson's Liv-
er Tone and take a spoonful tonight
If it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you right up better than
calomel and without gripping or max
ing you sick want you to go back to

Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and nau-
seated. Don't lose days work.
Take spoonful of harmless, vege-

harmless. SO give it to your children
any time. 1t can't salivate. so let
them eat anything afterwards.
