PASS DRY BILL OVER VETO
House Insists on Prohibition Measure
176 to IS Votes.

Washington, D. C.-President Will
son Unexpectedly vetoed the prohibi
ton enforcement bill Monday and
within three hours the house had re-
passed it over his veto by vote of
176 to IS. The total vote was barely
more than a majority of the entire
membership.
Dry leaders in the senate immediate
ly began laying plans to repass the
bill there. They expect to ask unani-
nous consent for its consideration,
claiming enough votes to put it
through.
The president refused to sign the
bill because it included the enforce
ment of wartime prohibition.
The objects of wartime prohibition.
the president said in his veto, had
been satisfied, and Sound public pol
icy makes clear the reason and neces-
sity for it's repeal"
1t would not be difficult, the presi
dent held, for congress to deal sepa-
rately with the two issues.
The veto hit congress like crack
of lightning. The house, getting on
its feet again, deserted it's leaders,
who wanted to defer consideration so
as to round up all the dry members.
But the drys swept into the chamber
and showed there was an overwhelm-
ing sentiment among them to give the
government ample weapons for deal
ing with the liquor traffic, now out
lawed throughout the land.
Nobody had really protested to
know that the president would veto
the bill. Republicans and democrats
alike-and the countless multitude
that had sorrowfully watched the pass
ing of the bars-thought it would be-
come a law without his signature.
Acknowledgement Palmer, it was said
had declared it constitutional.
But the president, propped up in
bed, dictated and then signed veto
message and sent it along to congress
without worrying, apparently, about
what congress might do.
With repassage of the law by the
house and the prospect of the same
thing happening in the senate, hope
of the big wet spell" that would rur
over the Christmas season vanished
into thin air.
Prohibition leaders predicted thai
the refusal of the house to accept the
presidents veto meant that the sale
of liquor would not be permitted AGAR
in the life of this and many other gen
erations.

SUFFERING CATS!
GIVE THIS MAN
THE GOLD MEDAL

No humbug! Any corn, whether
hard, soft or between the toes. will
loosen right up and lift out without
a particle of pain or soreness.
This drug is called freezone and Ii
a compound of ether discovered by
Cincinnati man.
Ask at any drug store for small
bottle of freezone, which will cost but
trifle, but is sufficient to rid cne's
feet of every corn or callous.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callous. In
stantly the soreness disappears and
shortly the corn or callous will loosen
and can be lifted off with the fingers.
This drug freezone doesn't eat out
the corns or callouses but shrivels
them without even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Just Think No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying 1t or
afterwards. II your druggist don't
have freezone have him order 1t for
you.-Adv.

Old Name for February.

The old Britons gave the nickname
"Fildyke" to February, not because it
is particularly wet month, the aver
age rainfall being the least of any
month in the year, but because the
melting snow on the hills causes the
rivers and dykes to overflow. When
there is superabundance of snow and
rain in February there is too much of
what would be a good thing in modera-
ton, and floods where they are least
welcome.

Detroit Bans Olives.

Detroit.-Seizure of all ripes olives
in the stocks of local retail stores was
begun Monday because of the deaths
of five persons who attended a dinner
last week at which the fruit was serv-

olives contained poisonous bacilli.
Nine thousand bottles of the ripe
fruit were taken in early seizures and
wholesalers were ordered to discon-
tinue sale of both ripe and green

Miners Will Quit November |,
Says Their President.
NEARLY 100000 OUT
Operators Would Arbitrate Differences
but Union officials Left the
Conference Room.

Washington, D. C.-The last govern
ment effort to avert the coal strike
set for November failed utterly Sat
urday and 100000 miners will quit
work on the very eve Of winter with
the nations bins running dangerously
low.
Even an appeal from President Will
son was not enough to bring peace to
a conference that was torn and on the
breaking point half dozen times dur
ing the day. Charges and counter
charges flew thick and fast as the
groups of operators and miners filed
out Of the meeting which began some
what hopefully four days ago.
While the operators announced that
they had accepted the presidents Of
fer to wipe the slate clean and nego-
tiate new wage agreement, the min
ers charged that the operators had
bolted without the consent of Secre-
tary of Labor Wilson, the storm center
of an extraordinary fight to save the
country untold distress and suffering
Surrounded by score Of miners
John L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, hurried Out
of the hall and halted long enough to
announce that the strike order stood
and that the miners would walk Out
after full days work on the closing
day of the present month. The fina
breaking up of the conference, Lewis
said, meant that official notice of the
failure would be sent forthwith to the
unions everywhere to order the mer
out Of the mines at the appointed hour
The presidents appeal was made
through Secretary Wilson after the
latter had exhausted every possible
effort. It pointed out what a strik,
meant and urged the two sides to ge
together, negotiate their differences
resorting to arbitration only in tn,
event negotiations failed. The i'm
portant point in the proposal, how
ever, was that the mines be kept opel
and the miners stay at work.

Proves FruitIess.
ACTION SEEN
Little more Then Months Needs Now
on Hand; Shutdown Would
Cause Great Distress.

Washington, d. C.-Failure of oper-
ators and miners to settle their differ
ence after four-hour conference Tues
day with Secretary of Labor Wilson
may force the government to step in
and prevent the strike of 100000 btu.
minous coal miners called for Novem-
Der /.
Although efforts will be made to
bring peace to the industry the strike
looms big and close at hand and lead
ers Of the two sides said there was
little hope.
While the full scale committees rep.
resenting miners and operators were
fighting their battles behind closed
door, strike storm ragged in the sen.
ate, and federal agencies looked UP
the law, firmly convinced that it would
have to be invoked to save the country
from untold distress and suffering
with mines shut down and less than 8
months stock on hand to keep fires
burning.
Filing out of the meeting place, the
miners and operators, nearly 100 Of
them. went their separate ways to dis
cuss the crisis, the former led by Johr
L. Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers Of America, and the latter by
Thomas T. Brewster, head of the Goa
Operators association.
Informed of the attack on the un
ions in the senate by Senator Freling
huysen Of New Jersey, and reports
from many quarters that the govern
ment might intervene, strike leaders
said there was bare chance of some
encouraging development soon, bu
that the strike order would stand.
Secretary Wilson left the meetin,
without giving the least intimation a.
to what was in his mind as to hop
of settlement.

Washington, D. C.-With the declar-
alton that the impending coal strike is
not only unjustifiable, but also unlaw-
full, President Wilson, in statement
issued Saturday night with the sup
port of his entire cabinet, called on
the coal miners Of the nation, both
union officers and members, to rescind
the strike order effective November 1.
The president declined to enter into
the merits of the controversy between
the miners and operators, but emphat-
ically declared that the strike, which
he characterized as the most far
reaching proposal in the nations his
tory to restrict production and dis
tribution of necessaries of life, had ap-
parently been ordered without vote
Of the individual miners.
For this reason the president served
definite notice that the law will be
enforced and the means will be found
to protect the interests of the nation
in any emergency that may arise out
of this unhappy business"
The presidents statement was is
sued after his cabinet had gone over
the entire situation with Secretary
Wilson of the labor department, whose
efforts to bring miners and operators
together in negotiations had failed.
The president reviewed the steps
leading up to the strike call, including
the Cleveland convention of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America one
month ago, at which the demands for
30-hour week and 60 per cent in
crease in wages were formulated. The
war itself, the president asserted, was
still fact, peace negotiations still in
suspense and troops still being trans
ported. Because of these factors and
the added consideration that victims
of the strike would include both the
rich and the poor, he said the proposed
walkout could only be considered as
unlawful, and as the nations execu
tive, entrusted with enforcement 'oi
the law, he would use the means al
his disposal to prevent any stoppage
of work.

Blame Operators for not Continuing

Springfield, Ill.-In reply to the

scheduled for November 1, is "un-
justifiable and unlawful" John l..
Lewis, acting president of the United

nothing to say on this subject at pres

what steps he believed the govern.

Mr.. Lewis would not comment or
whether further negotiations were
possible. He was told of Governor

federal government in stemming thu
mine tieup, and suggested that com
pulsory arbitration might be neces
sary. Mr.. Lewis declined to maxi

Thrush Has Own Method OF
Slaughtering the Sheiled
SnaiIs to Get the "Goody'

In districts where shelled snails are
abundant it is no rare thing, says a
writer, to come across a stone utilized
as slaughter block by some particu-
lar thrush. Even If the bird is not
caught in the act, numerous broken
and empty shells scattered in the
neighbOrhood betray the place where
the mollusks have been done to death.
The method adopted by the thrush
is simply that Of dropping snail
from a height time and again until
the shell is broken and the succulent
body within is exposed to the captor's
beak. But the anvil is sometimes
made use OF in a different way and
with different end in view. The
other day, in the. depths of a Highland
birch wood, an observer came upon
such sacrifcial stone, at which a
thrush was busily occupied. Field
glasses made evident that not snail
but common black slug was his cap
tive. This he grasped by the middle
with his beak, dashing it repeatedly
with resounding smacks upon the
stone, whence it occasionally rebound
ed, only to be caught and hammered
once more.
Subsequent examination of the
stone revealed with what effect the
operation had been carried out. Bet
what of its purpose? Here was no
shell to be broken. 1t may be that
the thrush simply wished to kill its
prey, but the fact that thrushes swGl-
low wriggling worms without hesita-
ton renders this explanation imp~o5-
able. It is more likely that the skin
of the slug was too thick and coarse
to be palatable and that the thrush
was simply endeavoring to dash out
the edible portions within; or that ii
was attempting to render the skin
more tender by a method analogous
to the domestic ''batting" of a steak.

Music, of All Arts, the One
Most Intimately interviewer
With Ethical Consciousness

OF all arts, music is the one most
intimately interviewer with the eth
ical consciousness of our own time.
The oratorios of Handel and of
Mendelssohn so blend the sacred text
and the divine music that we think OF
the two together, and almost as Of
things so welded by God that man
must not seek TO put them asunder
When I have sat to sing in the chorus
of the messiah" and have heard the
tenor take up the sweet burden of
"Comfort We my people!" I have felt
the whole chain OF divine consolation
which those historic words express
and which link the prophet of pre-
Christian times to the saints and sin
ners of today. In far-of Palestine
have been shown the plains on which
II is supposed that the shepherds
were tending their focks when the
birth of the Messiah was announced
to them. But as / turned my eyes TO
view It, my memory was full of that
pastoral symphony of Handlers, In
which the divine glory seems JUST
mufied enough to be ineligible to
our abrupt and hasty sense. Nay, 1
lately heard a beloved voice which
read the chapter of Elijah's wonder
full experience in the wilderness.
While 1 listened, bar after bar OF
Mendelssohn's music struck itself OH
in the resonant chamber of memory,
and thanked the Hebrew OF our own
time for giving intensity to that
drama Of insight and heroism.-Juiia

Cape Prince of Wales Is
Said to Be the Stormiest
Region in All the World

The stormiest place in all the world
is said to be Cape Prince of Wales,
which Is the westernmost point of
Alaska. 1t is marked by a considerable
mountain 2,210 feet high, and fierce
winds blow there perpetually. Storms
from the Arctic ocean assail this in
liospitable region all the year round.
Frank Hess of the government geo.
logical survey says that August 80 he
found himself in the midst of deep
snow on Cape Prince of Wales, with a
wind blowing so hard that he had to
get behind rock to avoid being blown
into the sea.
The weather for the moment was
clear and he could see the coast Of ST.
IBERIA, across Boring strait, 40 miles
away. Here and there were rocks that
bore curious masses Of snow crystals,
which stood out horizontally, having
been thrown and compacted by wind.
II was bitter cold. but down below
were vast fields of beautiful forget-me-
Hnots.
