BIG PROPAGANDA READY

The Womans Christian Temperance
Union has pledged to celebrate its If
teth anniversary by demanding that
Congress submit to the States a con-
sttutional amendment prohibiting the
growing, the manufacture, the sale and
the use Of tobacco. This anniversary
occurs March 20. 1924. In the mean
time anti-tobacco propaganda and leg
islative lobbying not dissimilar to that
which ended in the abolition OF alco-
holic beverages will be resorted to by
way of clearing the track.
This announcement was made yes
terday by the Association Opposed to
National Prohibitions. 10 West Forty
fourth street, and the statement is ac-
companied by a resume of the prop
sfanda that already has been intro
duced into public schools. The AS

tons declares that 1t has gathered its
facts from the entire country and that
ii finds that:
The leadership in this anti-tobacco
crusade has been assumed by the
woman's Christian Temperance Union.

in the guise Of child welfare and
morality and health the activities oil
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union have been carried into the pub
lie schools, and recitation books have
been furnished to children which ha-
grantly violate the sanctity OF home and
hllal devotion by portraying father
who uses tobacco as filthy and unfit for
childish caresses.
Protests on the part of parents have
caused such interfering between fathei
and child to be stopped In certain
schools. and the Association Opposed to
National Prohibitions will carry the at
tack further.
"A bill has been introduced in the
Georgia Legislature to prohibit the use
Of tobacco in any form whatever. ant
measures have been introduced IN the
legislatures Of other Southern and
Western States to put a ban upon Gig

Certain officers Of the Anti-Saloor
League have denied any participation
by that organization in the anti-tobaccc
