Mother of Thousands.

The destruction wrought on all but
the hardest wood by the white ant, or
termite, is not surprising when a few
facts are known of its prolific charac-
ter. A nest, some six feet in height,
was found in the tropics, and about one
foot below the level OF the ground
was a cOnical mound of hard earth.
Inside this dwelt the queen mother.
After careful observation she was
found to lay 9,12O eggs in an hour.
On account of her great size she was
unable to leave her cell, her only func-
ton being 10 lay eggs.

DUE TO PROHIBITION
Decrease of Is Per Cent in Men Com
mitted to Philadelphia House
of Correction

The House of Corrections at Phila-
dclphia is advertising for farm la
borers. For the first time in the his
tory of that institution the scarcity of
compulsory male labor has necessi-
tated the use of women inmates in
tilling the soil and harvesting the
crops on the. farms connected with
the institution. This fact is due to
Prohibition.
A decrease of rs per cent in the
number of men committed to the
House of Corrections has followed
the closing Of the saloons in Phila-
delphia, according to the official rec
ord. For the first % days in July, 90
men and 40 women were committed
from Philadelphia, as against l02 men
and 4S women committed during the
same period last year.

LOCAL OPTION FOR ENGLAND
Cannon Masterman Believes It
First Step
Present Parliament Would Not
Act Favorably
Campaign Of Education Neces-
sary First
England's and Americas Situa-
ton Contrasted

According to United News story
carrying a London. England, date
line OF July ), Cannon Masterm-n,
who has just returned to Great Brit
ain from America, where he was in
attendance on the Anti Saloon
League convention, announced that
an attempt will be made in the near
future to get a local option law
through Parliament. ,Ther, is little
hope for success with the present
House OF Commons, Cannon Master
man said. In discussing his visit to
America he is quoted as saying:
One result of Prohib ton in
! America has been to enable the
people to shake off many super
sttions regarding alcoholic bev-
erages.
These superstitions still pass
for gospel here.
Many workingmen. in Britain
believe that beer is necessary as
an article OF diet for men doing
hard physical labor. Whiskey is
still regarded as having valuable
medicinal properties. Britain con-
tains a large number of moderate
drinkers who must be reckoned
with. Here, too, brewers are
largely Englishmen with the
highest connections. In the
| United States the brewers were
mostly Germans who were easily
| disposed of during the war.
He stated that he recognized a diff
ference between British and Ameri-
can saloons. "In America it is a place
to drink; in Britain it is social CEN
ter" he said. He declared that
Americas action has thrown a scare
into the British liquor interests and
that the United Kingdom Alliance
with which he is connected will focus
its attention upon securing local op-
ton in England.
He expressed the opinion that local
option enabled the American Prohi-
bitionists to get their toe-hold on
John Barlcycorn.

Prohibition now is here,
But it won't last long, | fear;
No more beer, no more vine;
Oh, what's the matter with this coun-
try Of minel
No more booze and no champagne;
It's great loss but sure no gain.
From all the drink we now refrain,
But hope to see the day again
When we shall drink with moderate
style
Just only for little while
For recreation and for health
AS honest men of toll or wealth.
If we observe this moderate rule,
We need no Prohibition school.

John Barleycorn, who in defending
his title as premier heavyweight,
had knocked out many good man

No Booze; No Arrests
Police Say This Is Quitest Fourth in
Departments History

East ST. Louis first Fourth of July
without liquor showed a completely
clean police slate at noon today. Not
. single arrest has been made in the
city today and only one man was
brought in from Brooklyn for safe
keeping.
July 4, last year, shows record
of rs arrests, of which eight were
charged with drunkenness, while the
night of July 3, the might before"
shows 3S arrests, OF which, strange
TO say, the records show but two
booked as DRINKS"
And again July OF last year
shows the effects of the day after.
There were seven "drunks" arrested
on that day. evidently with chang
overs" as the experts called the ef-
feets of the day after.
Now yesterday, July 3, with the
town dried up, shows only five ar
rests all told, not taking into count
nine arrested on suspicion and re-
leased when nothing was found
against them.
Since Monday, when five persons
arrested were booked as "drunks,"
there has been only one arrest for
drunkenness and that was on Tues
day when belated traveller got
caught with an oversupply
The police business has taken such
. sharp drop that the justices will
rot care much hereafter how the po-
lice business is divided since there
will not be enough of 1t, IL present
conditions continue, to worry over

ALTON DRY AND SOBER

The following about Alton,
since July |, was written by
the editor OF the Alton Tele-
graph:
Alton, one of the wettest
places in Illinois, has not had
single arrest for drunkenness
since June so. Police say they
believe the jails in the whole
county will be empty soon.
Jail at Alton has had one man
in it and his arrest was a mis-
take OF the officer, as the man
was deaf instead of drunk, and
didn't hear the policeman's or
der to move on. Many oppon-
ents OF Prohibition already are
becoming converted to dry
side, saying that working re-
suits are fine.
The three weeks preceding
Prohibition Alton had many
cases OF drunkenness and po-
lice magistrate reaped a har-
vest. Now he is depending for
fees on automobile owners who
violate law. Police have turned
attention from arresting DRINKS
to prosecuting traffic law vio-
lators. There was no drunken
ness on Fourth of July. We
had immense homecoming, and
it was the first strictly sober
one in Atoms history.
Saloons are obeying the law,
making no effort to sell alco-
holic drinks. Patronage of sa-
looms has dropped off heavily.
Many old souses are delighted
that they cannot get booze any
more. Most of them laid in no
supply for the drouth.

WATER NOT so BAD

After July the man with a
thirst instead of seeking to sat-
isfy it in glass of foaming
beer, will have to be content
with a cup Of cold water.
Here is his great opportunity.
If he refuses all substitutes for
the beer and surrenders abso-
lutely to The cold water he is
bound to awake to the fact that
he has never known what it,
was to satisfy his thirst SO COM
pletely before. The drink that
is without money and without
price and leaves his liberty
bonds still intact and his house
unmortgaged is, after all, the
best thirst quencher in the
world.-Dr. Eugene Lyman
Fisk, in New York Herald.

Invoke I. and R. Law to Amend
Constitution
Seek to Throw Wet Egis Around
Bootlegger
Want to Re-install Old License
System
SALOON WETI.Y DEFINED
Intoxicating Liquor Also Duly
Delir1ited
IT'S Beer Given Clean Bill of
Health
Liquor Interests Evidently Fear
Buckeye Voters Will Not Re- 4
habilitate Beer With Big KickF

Wet petitions are now in general
circulation throughout the state of
Ohio. There are three OF these petit
tons - two to initiate proposed
amendments to the constitution and
third for referendum on the law
enforcement code passed by the Leg
islature last spring. II these petitions
receive the required number of sigma
lures all OF them will be voted ON at
the fall election.
The first proposed wet amendment
to the constitution provides for the
repeal of statewide Prohibition and
the re-establishing of the license sys-
tenn as it prevailed prior to May 27
when the Prohibition amendment
became effective. This wet amend
ment provides that License to traffic
i'll Intoxicating liquors as beverage
shall be granted in this state and IL
cense laws operative throughout the
state shall be passed with such re-
strictions and regulations as may be
provided by law, and municipal cor
porations shall be authorized to pro-
vide for the limitation of the sale"
! The word saloon" as used in this
section is defined to be a place
where Intoxicating liquors are sold or
kept for sale as a beverage in guam
! titles less than ono gallon"
This proposed amendment also
provides definition for Intoxicating
liquors, the clause reading as follows:
The phrase Intoxicating liq-
uor" shall not be defined or con-
strued to mean any beverage
which is in fact notwithstanding
and no beverage containing us
or less percentage o. alcohol by
weight shall be deemed an intox-
icating liquor
The secon.. proposed amendment
now being initiated by the brewers
simply defines Intoxicating liquors.
/! 1t reads: sts- ~.
The phrase Intoxicating iq-
uor" shall not be defined or con-
strued to mean any beverage
which is in fact Notwithstanding
and no beverage containing us
per cent or iess of alcohol by
weight shall be deemed an intox-
icating liquor.
The definition of Intoxicating liq-
uor, it will be observed, is the same
in both proposals. The brewers evil
IDENTIFY feared the voters will refuse
to repeal the Prohibition amendment
and re-establish the license system,
SO they are initiating the second ref
erendunl, which merely provides for
us per cent beer. Should the voters
adopt the Ohio brewers definition OF
beer and should Congress, as it will,
give another definition of intoxcat-
ing liquor, the definition by Con-
gress, of course, will stand and every
Ohio voter who casts his ballot for
the brewers amendment will vote for
the notification of the law enacted
by Congress, thereby setting the au-
thority of the state above the au-
thority of the national government.
The brewers are fighting a hopeless
fight in the state OF Ohio.
