POST THE SLACKERS" ASKS AMERICAN LEGION
Law Should Provide Their Names
 Be Published in Their Con- muniticS," is Urged

One solid force which creators Of unrest in this country will have to dispose of is the American Legion Here is what tho American LeEsion Weekly says on Amercanism. ...
 ''While alien slackers who .e- nounced theis American citizenship to escape military service have been listed and classified and their de portation will Ec insisted upon by the American Legion other varieties Of alien Slackers must not be lost sight of. It possibly is not pra acticable 10 deport them all. Their numbers reach into the tens of thousands, and in many instances hey are protected by treaty rights. Since they never sworc allegiance to the United States their conduct was somewhat less re- prehensibie than our own American slackers. Certainly they are not to be compared with the first-paper slack CTS. who arc the most undesirable class next to alien enemics-and Iltc.. must go. aE
 But there is d stigma upon tho whole tribe of alien slackers. In de- porting the first-paper slackers We must mete out proportionate punish ment 10 tho others.
 The Lufkln bill (H. K. 9416) now before congress, in addition to de- porting the first-paper .slackers, would deny citizen ;hip to the others for d period of five years. This is made quatc. So long as they are perrfitt ed to enjoy the benefits of living in Am erica, withholding of citizenship would concern them very little. The law should provide that their names ho St ,,.J posted in the communities wherein they live; and they should be totally disqualified for citizenship. This as a minimum penalty. The Legion s views in this respect have been trans- mitted to congress through the legis- lative committee. No doubt the con- vention will have something to add, covering the whole subject of alien slackers."

though there were then 100 persons
on the car. Later, he said, forty
more passengers got on, but the con-
ductor rang up only twenty-six addi-
tional fares.
Similar allegations were made by
the writer's Of the other letters, the
complainants in each case giving the
car number, the conductors number
and the date and time of the alleged
occurrences.
The writer's of the three letters ask
ed that the street railway company
be required to install fare boxes on

company got all the fares paid to its
conductors no additional revenues
would be required.

EXPERT TESTIMONY
ON 2.75 PER CENT BEER

st. Louis, No., Nov. 10.-Six au-
thorities on alcohol and its effect,
after tests on men and women regu-
lar drinkers, occasional drinks and
total abstainers, have found:
Two cups of coffee have as much
''kick" as twenty-one pints of one
half of / per cent beer.
A stomach full of IT'S is only
enough for one-quarter of one
drunk.
Twenty-one and one-half quarts of
one-half of one per cent beer at a
sitting are necessary for intoxica-
ton, but the human stomach will
hold only one-seventh of that guam
tity.
Six pints of one-half of one per
cent beer, rapidly consumed, are the
same as one teaspoonful Of alcohol.
These facts are contained in affi-
davits filed by the SIX authorities in
Guiding DR.. John Marshall, professor
of chemistry and Technology in the
University of Pennsylvania. The af-
fidayits were filed in Federal Court
here today in support of the applica-
ton of st. Louis brewers to restrain
enforcement of the VoIstead prohibit
ton law.

Thanks to Science

This is one of the results of mod
ern architectural practice and in the
CONSTITUTIONAL features of house
now there is very little Of the old,
hit-or-nniss rule of thumb methods
that were used by contractors in past
generations. The architect plans and
figures it all out in advance and
supervises the work, SO that the
squeaking and night noises found in
many of the old rambling houses are
totally unknown in modern apart
ments and bungalows.
Between the architect and the
Public Health Service the haunted
houses have been eliminated in new
buildings. The intense scarcity OF
houses has put complete end to the
old-time supetstitions. People are
too busy, too sensible today and al
ways look for a reason, hence the
ghosts have fled and human beings
have taken their places-New Or
leans Item.

The second answer to the query
s'Where are our haunted houses?" is
that the United States Public Health
Service has ratproofed the city in re-
cent years, and roaming rats as big
as cats are seldom or never found.
No more do rats prowl through the
houses and make spooky noises.
The third answer is that modern
houses, despite some ideas to the con-
trary, are a little better built than
old ones. Perhaps the material is
not so heavy or so dry as in the old
days, but workmanship of the main
structural parts is firmer and more
substantially braced. Foundation
calculations are more accurate.

Human nature after all is pretty
practical and ghosts are tolerated
only when one has time for such in
door pastimes. Most families are too
busy these days to take rafting
chains and ghost walking seriously
at any rate it does not keep houses
idle any longer. Necessity has wiped
out practically the last ''haunted"
house in New Orleans. Even the
best known ones, which anyone can
recall offhand, are today fully occu-
pied and the "ghosts" apparently laid
forever.

Haunted Houses =
Are Now Occupied

What has become of the familiar
"haunted houses" of New Orleans?
There are three answers to this
question. But the real answer is:
The acute housing shortage has
wiped out the old haunted houses"
Families are living in them and are
probably just as satisfied as in any
other houses which have never had
any "spooks."
AS a matter Of fact the old houses
of Constance street, Magazine, and
even of st. Charles avenue, not to
mention other locations which have
been noted for examples of fine old
deserted mansions, uninhabited ex-
cept by bats for many years, do not
compare with homes where modern
facilities are concerned. But in the
housing squeeze just now that has
become almost a secondary matter.
Haunted" Houses Left Vacant
Many supposedly haunted" man
sions have stood in a neglected con-
dition, rank grass growing over their
yards and between the flagstone
paving for years, the awe of the
neighbors and the bugbear of the
younger element. There has been no
lack of tales of ghost walking and
"spirits" in these old places, and in
consequence to secure tenants was
impossible.
This is changed now. With a
cleaned yard, repapering of walls and
painting and plumbing, the old
houses began to fill up. The spooks
have been crowded out.
