THAT LOSS OF REVENUE.

Continually we hear the liquor In
terests predicting great loss of rev.
enue to the government as result Of
prohibition DR.. Harvey w. Wiley.
former head of the federal health bu-
reau, answers them by saying:
Better IT would be to raise the
money by a. tax on patent nostrums
and stock gambling than to get It
from the wholesale wrecking of lives,
careers, and families. The amount of
revenue collected by a nation does not
measure its efficiency; but the amount
of revenue collected from fermented
and distilled spirits does measure the
inefficiency Of the nation"
Frank A. vanderlip, former comp
troiler of the currency, later presi-
dent of the largest bank in America,
now serving without pay as chairman
Of the War Savings committee Of the
Omitted States treasury, is also on the
side of prohibition:
'sThe plea that government revenue
will be seriously curtniled by nation
wide prohibition should not influence
action. for prohibition will induce a
national efficiency which will open
new and far richer sources Of rev.
enue"

DETROIT UNDER PRoHIBIrIoN.

Detroit, the biggest dry city In the
United States, is more prosperous than
ever before" asserts Zach Farmer In a
paper issued by the Detroit Real Es-
tate board. "This is the consensus Of
authoritative opinion, deduced from an
analysis of general conditions existing
at the present time as compared to
the pre-dry period. From all outward
appearances casual observer would
never suspect that the Motor City had
once been one of the most fourishing
hangouts of old demon Booze Brief
ly, the present situation is as follows !:
Seldom does one hear a conversation
in which the absence of liquor is la
mented Many of the former saloons
have been converted into soft drink
emporiums and restaurants. Most of
the vacancies created by suspension
of the liquor business have been reoc-
cupied and realtors. almost without
exception, state that the real estate
situation has not been impaired. To
the contrary, in many instances. prop
erty values have been strengthened
through the. exit of illegitimate and
the entrance of legitimate business in
some sections of the city. The old
rule of fear that the elimination of a
saloon in business block would mean
loss Of business on both sides, has
been dissipated."

THE PASSING OF THE WASHER
WOMAN.

Vote dry and you lose your washer
women. say the householders Of In
dianapolis to the householders of wet
states A sad state of affairs prevails
on wash day in the metropolis of the
Hoosier state and prohibition is re-
sponsible. Under the old order of af-
fairs whole family washings were done
by the inmates of the woman's prison.
Since John Barleycorn made his exit
from the state, the number of women
incarcerated has fallen off to such an
extent that this work can no longer be
handled. Since April /, the day Of
the emancipation of Indiana from the
saloons, the new arrivals at the wom-
ans prison have been cut down to one
third the foOner number; the third
floor Of the prison has been closed and
one of the kitchens is no longer need
ed. Strange as 1t may seem, the resi-
dent Of Indianapolis, Notwithstanding
the inconvenience named, Is more than
reconciled to conditions which enable
women to work in their own homes or
engage in self-respecting labor else
where.

CHAPTER xiv.
The croix de cuerre.

When we had been on the shore
for about three weeks we found our
selves one morning somewhere near
Sedd-el-Bahr under the heaviest fire
/ ever experienced. Our guns and the
Turks were at 1t full blast, and the
noise was worse than deafening.
A section of my company was lying
out ia shell hole near the commu-
nication trench with nothing to do
but wait for a shell to find them. We
were stir and thirsty and uncomfort-
able. and had not slept for two nights.
In that time we had been under con-
stant fire and had stood or several
raiding parties and small attacks from
enemy trenches.
We had no sooner got used to the
nhezl hole and were making ourselves
- comfortable as possible in 1t when

Although S14,550,000 was available
Tor expenditure on the post roads from
the federal aid road act, only $685.
445 was paid from federal funds In the
highway construction season Of 1918
on all projects. The reason for this.
according to the annual report Of the
secretary of agriculture, was the
steps taken to conserve money. labor,
transportation and materials in high
way work during the war, and at the
same time to facilitate really essential
highway projects.
In connection with the federal aid
road work, letter was addressed to
each state highway department ask
ing thar program of federal aid con-
struction be submitted at the earliest
possible date. in which would be In,
cluded only those projects which the
state highway departments considered
vitality necessary to the transportation
facilities OF the country.
At the request of the capital issues
committee, engineers Of the depart
ment were made available for inspect
Ing and reporting upon proposed high
way and irrigation and drainage bond
issues. Inspections were made of 181
separate projects, involving total bond
issues Of $36,912, 1896. An arrange
ment was made with the fuel admin
istration whereby highways of special
Importance should receive enough BIZ
luminous material to provide for ade-
quate maintenance. and, where neces-
sary, to permit construction and recon-
struction. From May ID, 1918, when
the cooperation became actively effec-
tive, until the close of the fiscal year,
2,235 applications, calling for rs, 000,-

am sure. So all we could do was to
lay low In the shell hole and wait for
something to happen.
Then they began using shrapnel on
US, and one of our machine gunners,
who got up from his knees to change
position, had his head taken clean of
his shoulders. and the rest of him
landed near my feet and squirmed a
little, like chicken that had just been
killed. It was awful to see the body
without any head move around that
way, and we could hardly make our
selves touch 1t for some time. Then
we rolled 1t to the other side Of the
hole.
Then, to one side of us, there was
more violent explosion than any yet.
The earth spouted up and fell on us,
and big clouds of black smoke, sliding
along the ground, covered our shell
hole and hung there for some time.
One of our sergeants, from the regular
French infantry, said 1t was a shell
from a Turkish 155-mm. howitzer.
That was only the first one. The
worst thing about them was the smoke
people who think Pittsburgh is
smoky ought to see about fifty of those
big howitzer shells bursting, one after
another.
We could not tell what the rest of
our line was doing or how we were
standing the awful fire. but we felt
sure they were not having any worse
time than we were. In 4 few minutes
we heard the good old '75s" start
pounding, and 1t was like hearing an
old friends voice over the telephone.
and everybody in our shell hole
cheered. though no one could hear us
and we could barely hear each other.
Still we knew that II the "75s" got
going in their usual style they would
do for an enemy battery or two, and
that looked good to us. The "75s"
made the noise worse, but 1t was al
ready about as bad as 1t could be,
and thousand guns more or less
would not have made 1t any harder
to stand.
One Of our men shouted In the SER
geant's ear that the men in line ahead
Of us and to the right were trying to
give us message of some kind. The
sergeant stuck his head above the
parapet and had look. But stayed
where was-the sergeant could see
for himself and me, too, as far as ]
was concerned.
He shouted at us that the men in
the other trench were trying to signal
something, but he could not make II
out because the clouds Of smoke would
roll between them and break up the
words. So he laid down again in the
bottom Of the hole. But after while
he looked over the parapet and saw
a man just leaving their trench, evi
IDENTIFY with a message for us, and he
had not gone five steps before he wa;
blown to pieces. and the lad who fol
lowed him got his, too, so they stopped
trying then.
