THE TOBACCO PROBLEM

Dear Miss Fairfax:
l am going about with a young
man whom l have grown to regard
as more than a friend. The only
thing that 1 do not like about him
is that he smokes a great many
cigarets. l have asked him TO stop
smoking. and we have many argu-
ments. Do you think 1 am right in
asking him to stop?
A CONSTANT READER.
1t is a reasonable thing to ask and
it will be greatly to the young mans
advantage if he gives up smoking
for your sake. 1 wish that all young
men who smoke excessively could be
persuaded to make this sacrifice.

ICE PROSECUTION
 PLAN IN ANSONIA
Mayor to Ask for Warrant
 Against Dealers

Ansonia, July 11.-Formal com- plaint against J. II. Bartholomew, president of the AnsOnia x Derby Ice corporation, will be lodged with Prosecuting Attorney F. M. Mccarthy for alleged violation of the antitrust laws. Evidence secured by Invcsti- gator J. J. Walsh of New Haven will be laid before the prosecuting attor- ney and a warrant asked for the head of the local ice company for viola tion of Chapter 1855, public acts 191 1, relating 10 ombinations or agree ments for the purpose of limiting or restraining the production, manufac- ture, shipment or sale of ice, coal etc, for the purpose of increasing the price.
 Evidence will be presented to the prosecuting attorney purpOrting to show that the ice company controls all the ponds in the associated com munities and that there is no chance of any one entering the natural ice business.
 Investigator Walsh has found, it is alleged, that the company only cuts ice at the Quailinan reservoir of the Ansonia Water company on Beaver street, but controls the ice cutting privileges on the reservoirs of the Fountain Water company on the west side, and the reservoirs of the Derby Water company, located in this city. Even Jordans' pond, a small body of water near the Woodbridge line is leased by the company. As the com pany has made no attempt, it is al legged, to cut ice on the reservoirs named, Mayor Mead contends that the leasing of the ponds is for the purpose of restraining production and eliminating competition. Ice houses formerly located at the Fountain and other reservoirs have been removed and the various ice companies which did business in Ansonia years ago have been eliminated.

GIVE UP RATES CONTROL.
Shipping Board Restores Power to Ocean Ship Owners.

Washington, July 11.-All control over ocean freight rates was relin- quished by the shipping board yes terday.
 Abandonment of rate control hitherto exercised by the board through a system of charter will give perfect freedom to shipowners in the matter.
 The effect of the boards action shipping board officials said, would be problematical although the feel ing in shipping circles here was that rates would advance with the relin- quishment of control The principal steamship lines affected, it was said would be those between American ports and South American and Med iterranean countries.

Many People Yet to Be Heard On
 Enforcement Plans.

Washington, July 11.-Forty mem bers were waiting to '~~ heard when +asie hUS.se reAumed consideration of the prohibition enforcement bill today under agreement limiting debate to 2 hours.
 Representative Moore, republican, Pennsylvania, starting the days dis Cusson with Q three minute speech declared the government probably would be forced to issue bonds to make up for the loss in revenue through prohibition.
 Congress cannot tell the people of New England how to regulate their personal habits, Representative Fitz- gerald, democrat, Massachusetts, de- clared in an address attacking drastic provisions of the prohibition enforce ment bill. He said that a test vote Massachusetts would repudiate tho prohibition law.
 The state of Maine was put forward by MT. Fitzgerald as an example to show, he said, that prohibition could not be enforced.
 '"The prohibition law has never been enforced in Maine,' he said. "l know from personal observation that for 25 years barrooms have been openly conducted in all the principal cities of the state. Drunkenness ran riot, murders were committed. For years barrooms have been operated openly at Portland and Lewiston with the connivance of the local authort- ties.'

INVASION OF BRITAIN
 BY DRYS UNDER WAY

London, July 11.--'I spent consd- erable time yesterday with William Y. Johnson, field marshal of the prohibit tiOn forces of North America,' writes a special correspondent of the Daily Mail. 'The Anti-Saloon league has sent him here and has given him carte blanche in respect 10 strategy, tactics and finances. Large numbers of men and women experts, including William Jennings Bryan, are coming for the work.
 Meanwhile PusSyfoot Johnson will inaudibly and invisibly clear the field for action. I found him hard at work dictating to a girl typist. On his desk were filtered books and pamphlets of the kind that shortly will flood the country. Posters with a punch hung on his office walls. They will soon gratify or offend, as the. case may be- the views and susceptibilities of millions of people in this country"
