Peter, the beheading of Paul and also
John the Baptist, the fight of the
children Of Israel through the Red Sea.

odium attaching to Friday: If he be
born on Friday or It's night he shall

shall be thief and a great coward,
and shall not live longer than to mid.

IS Hurt When Navy Dirigibie G.,
7# Explodes.

Baltimore, Md, July The big
navy dirigible, CO, commanded by
Lieut.. N. J. Learned, with crew OF
six men and two passengers, bound
from Cape May, N. j., to Washing
ton, exploded with terrific force just
after landing at Camp Holabird,
near this city, at 1880 today to nd
just rudder trouble.
The explosion shook the canton
ment and the eastern section of the
city like an earthquake. The great
balloon instantly became a mass Of
flames. Shooting flames and bits Of
blazing fragments scattered over the
crowd of nearly 400 persons, men,
women and children, who had gath
cred on the camp field to see the
monster flyer, and many Of whom
were blown partly across the field.
Seventy-five persons, mostly women
and children were burned or other
wise injured. None of the officers or
crew of the CO was hurt though
several sustained severe shocks.
They were at work on the disabled
rudder when the explosion occurred.
According to the commander, the
explosion is believed to have been
caused by rapid expansion eaused by
heat. The bag contained more gas
than was required after descending
from colder altitude temperature.

Score of War Brides Aboard VIII

Washington, June 3o.-Several thou.
sand returning American soldiers
and score of pretty French wal
brides are on board the presidential
ship on its voyage to the United
States. A number of soldiers who
were members of the guards at the
Paris White House and the Hotel
De Crillon, headquarters OF the
American delegation, were married
during their sojourn in Paris.
The regulations provided no means
for the brides , to accompany their
husbands aboard the George WASH
ington, and for a while it seemed
that they might be left behind. A
fearful dispatch from the brides to
President Wilson, however, led to
the making Of arrangements for their
accommodation, and they are one Of
the happiest novelties on the voy-
age, which, so far, has been in per-
feet weather and on calm sea.

Nation-Wide Prohibition Went into

Old John Barleycorn made VIVA
! many believe will be his farewell ap
pearance in the United States Mon
day night at midnight, when nationa
war time prohibition went into ct
feet. The liquor men are hoping tina
they will have short time to rtir
late this fall when the president Il
sues his proclamation declaring thal
the war has ended. But even if thai
is the case the wet spell will be q
short duration as national prohibi.
tion will commence next January.
In the cities the passing of the
days of Intoxicating liquor was cele-
brated by big drink tests and one big
carouse, but everyone seemed to be
in good humor as there were very
few fights or accidents reported by
the police.

Washington, June 3o.-When war
time prohibition took effect tonight
the Department Of Justice announced
that its agents throughout the coun-
try would not attempt tomorrow to
stop the sale of "a per cent beer,
or other beverages with this proper
tion of alcohol. ~
This eleventh-hour Development
a flat reversal of an earlier ruling to-
day by the department-wasd due to
the uncertainty as to how the Fed
eral District Court of New York
might rule on a pending claim by
brewers that beer containing that
much alcohol was not Intoxicating.
But while this uncertainty existed
as, to beer of lighter alcoholic per-
centage than that sold generally
heretofore, full warning was given
with respect to whisky and all bever-
ages as to whose Intoxicating powers
there was no doubt, every govern
mental agency would be set to work
in determined effort to prevent
their manufacture and sale.
How long the sale Of 3-4 per cent
beer might continue will depend Or
dinarily upon the speed of the courts,
but Congress meanwhile will step to
the front in an effort to complete the
effectiveness of the wartime law.
