BRAZILIANS DO NOT CARE
FOR ALCOHOLIC LIQUORS
Coffee Is the National Beverage and

Half Cents a Cup.

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, (Correspon-
lence of The Associated Press)-
Should prohibition ever become effec.
i've in Brazil it is probable that few
Brazilians would be greatly affected
by it. The Brazilian apparently does
not care for strong drink.
Coffee is the national beverage and
the coffee shops are among the inter-
esting sights of the city. They are to
ne found everywhere but are especi-
ally numerous in the downtown sec
ton and along the principal avenues.
The shops are on the street floor,
are wide open and contain numerous
small tables Excellent coffee, gen
orally black and strong, is served in
tiny cups at the uniform price equiv
ent to about u cents cup.
Il is in these shops and while sip
ling their coffee that many Brazilians
liscuss business or social affairs, and
also watch The pas ing throngs. Many

The Bennington Banner says that
the hest governors Of Vermont have
been men who have been both poll
ticians and good business men, and
cites as notable examples Fletcher d.

contemporary is right That's just
what Vermont needs: The combina-
ton Of the publicist and business
manager. 1t doesn't want a profess
sional politician. as he is ordinarily
recognized, And ii doesn't want the
business man-who is all business
for himself-the man who'll get the
Office for the honor of il and do little
or nothing after he lands in the posi-

1t is hills which tell the story of
tire wear, and it is only necessary to
bring simple engineering mathematics
to bear to discover that the resident

harder work, day in and day out, than
the speed fiend of the level roads. 1t

10 times the power required to travel

THE AGE OF THE OCEAN
Scientists Claim It Is Ninety Million
Years Old

How old is the ocean? Standing on
the shore and looking out over the eX
panse of water, the ocean seems a
fixed and eternal fact, but the seas
had a beginning and will have an end
Scientists say that when this time
comes the last drop OF water will have
been absoived into the earth's crust
its surface viii be a desert and all life
will be extinct
The age of the ocean has been esti
mated by a leading authority Profe
sor Frank Clarke OF the United
States Geological survey, at about 90.
100000 years This, of course. is on.
ly an approximation, but is based on
carefully studied scientific data
All the water was once contained in
vapor that surrounded the glowing
slowly cooling mass which is now the
earth. After the gases combined to
form water, the process of making the
ocean salt began This was the work
of the rivers Mineral. salts were ex
tracted from rocks over which they
flowed and deposited in the sea.
Each year the action Of the streams
is said to make the ocean slightly
more salty, and this is the basis on
which its age is calculated The
amount of salt carried by the rivers
of the world is computed by the scien
fists and compared with total quaint
ity in the ocean. After evaporation
and the velocity Of currents have
been considered, it is possible to cal.
culate how long it has taken to make
the sea water as salty as it is today
About three and one half per cent OF
mineral salts and SO 1-2 per cent

In lkening the rear tires of car to

Labor Congress Completes
Plan For Mooney Fight
By Associated Press

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The National La
Dor Congress started its second days
session to-day by completion of its
organization in electing permanent
officers and appointing committees.
The delegates had gathered through
call of the International Workers
Defense League to decide on plans
to procure new trials for Thomas j.
Mooney and Warren Billings, serving
life terms for murder in connection
with the preparedness day bomb ex-
plosion at San Francisco in July, 1915.
Efforts similar to those of yester-
day to secure control of the congress
by the radical element were predicted
by the conservatives, and plans were
formulated to confine action to three
possible courses of action. These
were stated to be, first, an appeal to
the United States Department of JUS
tice to invoke writs of habeas corpus
on the ground that the process of
law was not exercised in the case;
second, an appeal to Congress along
with publicity, and. third. as a last
resort, the use by labor of its eco
nomic power either through the boy
cott or the strike weapon.
Temporary Chairman E. D. Nolan
stood firm in his ruling that only
Amalgamated Clothing Workers and
railroad brotherhood delegates
should sit with the American Fed
eration of Labor delegates and also
that theye should be but one delegate
for ea1A union on the convention
floor,

that, with the support of Congress,
his department is prepared to sus-
tain commerce and industry in both
the domestic and foreign fields,
providing both a scientific and q
commercial service at home coop
Grating with the great commercial
service abroad"
He warned his audience, however.
that while in a military sense, the
war is over. sin the sense of war
problems, war limitations, war diff
ficulties and war responsibilities, it
is not yet over"
Continuing he said:
I'VE must remember also that the
possible problms of force are not
wholly gone. Germany seems in
chaos, Russit we know is so. Who
will say to-day what is the future
of Bolshevism? Dare we permit a
flood of anarchy to sweep over Cen
tral as well as Eastern Europe to
threaten the peoples who have
fought by our side, and, If this is
done, then certainly later to threaten
us? Who can answer the question
whether it would be wise or even
safe now to reduce ourselves to com
parative military weakness until we
know more of the nature and pur-
pose of the forces which have over
whelmed one empire and threat
