PROHIBITION BEING ENFORCED

Prohibition is being enforced eff
fcctWcly throughout the United
States, says Attorney General Palmer.
Sale of hard" liquor such as whis-
key, gin and brandy, virtually has
ceased, he asserts, except for scatter
ing violations Of the law as are inevi-
table with any new restrictive statute.
Manufacture and sale of beer also is
prohibited except in communities
where the courts have ruled against
the contention Of the Department of
Justice that 2.75 per cent alco-
holc drinks are forbidden
by law and in those instances prose-
Cutions will be instituted if the su-
prcmc court finally upolds the de-
partmcnt's view.
Mr.. Palmer said he had expressed
no opinion on enforcement legislation
pending in congress except to say to
interested representatives that the de-
partmcnt would enforce vigorously
whatever measure was enacted.
If the enforcement of war time
and constitutional prohibition is
lodged with the department of JUS
tice rs seems most likely and not with
the bureau of internal revenue or the
treasury department., a special divis-
ion will have to be created to handle
the work

BETTER STAY AT HOME

A crowd Of negroes have left Ala
bama for the North on the promise
of higher wages. Somebody ought
to read them the speech of Republi-
can Senator Borah, where he said the
Northern States were guilty of treat
ing the negroes badly and cited the
Illinois lynching affair, where a mum
ber of negroes from the South were
killed for the crime Of seeking work
in that State. The houses that were
sheltering them were burned and
when the negroes tried to esape they
were hacked to pieces.

Secretary Glass puts the cost of
the war at $3O,177, 7,OOO.OOO.OO. About
20 per cent. of this war cost was

The practicability of shipping eggs
by parcel post is demonstrated by the
fact that more parcels Of eggs than
any other one product pass through
the mail. In order to test various
methods of packing and handling eggs
the Office Of Markets and Rural Or

SOME FACTS AND FIGURES =
ON BIG BALLOON TRIP


1t is not generally known that the
fight of the British Airship R-34 is
an event Of the greatest Importance
in establishing the possibilities of
aviation for practical commercial and
passenger-carryihg purposes. 1t is
the first Transatlantic crossing by
air from East to West. The other two,
one by Commander Read in the Ame-
rican NC-4 by way of the Azores in
three chops" and the nonstop flight
from Newfoundland to Ireland by
Captain Alcock, were from East to
West.
The dead weight of the airship is
80 tons, and when fully equipped for
flight except for gasoline, water and
oil, is sixty tons. Its length over all
is 665 feet, height lover alD 92 feet,
girth 80 feet. 1t has 10 gas bags (not
balloonettes) with capacity of
100000 cubic feet of gas. 1t is long
er than the Singer Building is high.
Sunbeam motors of IL cylinders
each supply the motive power. Mag
ncto Ignition is, of course, exclusive
ty used for it's intense hot spark and
absolute reliability. For this purpose
two magnetos are used on cash
twelve-cylinder engine, that is, one
magnetic for each six cylinders or ten
magnetos for the sixty cylinders
which form the total power plant.
The normal speed of the engines is
21O0 revolutions per minute, each en-
gine develops 275 horse power, or
1875 horse power in all.
This power was transmitted to the
propellers through clutch-and gear
me chanism, not by direct drive as is
the case with aIrplanes.

The Royal Air Force requested that
no airplancs be allowed in the air to

escaping gas from the airship and
thereby cause fire or explosion.
