Endorsed the league of nations did so
without sufficient education as to the
covenant of that proposed institution,

quarters.
Mrs. Mccormick. who is the wife of

Il am completely engrossed in this
league of nations issue because | re-

and most serious matter which the

big that those of us who deal in poll
tics as politics cannot think now Of
partisan issues. The league is not
partisan issue. Until this issue is out
of the way, we can hardly talk about
partisan politics. Since my return to
Washington | have heard no partisan
affairs discussed. The league of ma
tions is the only topic which can com
mand the attention of the leaders OF
the Republicans as we'll as the Demo

fortunately so much discussion of
the league and the efforts of many
interested persons are resulting now

coming better Informed as to the prin-
ciples involved in the issue. In this,
as in every other public concern, the
women of the country are just IS
much interested as are the men. Only
yesterday | had letters from Republi-
can women in California, Rhode Island,
Nebraska and Illinois expressing them
selves very clearly and definitely about
the league. They are asking that

and what | would do about voting for
it, if | were Senator. l have never
so expressed myself because the
function Of my committee is to help
furnish the vehicle upon which the
Republican nominees of the next ma

In discussing the situation with the

LONDONDERRY, Aug. l6.-Rioting
and looting took place in this city last
night and early this morning. Troops
charged on mobs, but did not fire any
shots. The soldiers. however, were
met with a volley of stones when they
attempted to break up Nationalists
demonstration. The monetary loss
from lootng and from damage to
property is estimated at thousands Of
pounds by police authorities.
The trouble started when National
lists set fire to large number of tar
barrels, which had been collected be-
meath an arch over which was dis
played a picture of Edward de Valera,
president Of the Irish Republic, and
sang the "Soldiers' Song" Unionists
responded by singing the national
anthem.
One force of troops kept the crowds
apart, while other attachments at
tempted to clear the streets, charging
upon the throngs repeatedly.
Bricks and stones were hurled at the
charging troops, one soldier being
seriously hurt. The Nationalists were
finally driven back to their own
quarters
Windows were smashed and shops
we're looted by the crowds and the
city was in darkness the entire night.

WOOD ALCOHOL
CAUSES BLINDNESS
AND DEATH

Owing to the heavy increase re.
Gently noted in the number. of deaths
and cases Of blindness resulting from
the drinking Of wood alcohol by those
ignorant of its dangers, the National
Committee for the Prevention Of
Blindness, 100 East Twenty second
street, New York. is sending broad
cast special warnings Of the tragic
consequences which may follow the
use Of wood alcohol. denatured alco-
hol and medicated alcohol for bever-
age purposes.
Occasional cases Of this nature
have been occurring from time to
time for many years, but since Ma
tional prohibition went into effect,
there has been an alarming increase
in all sections Of the country due to
the preparations of drinks in which
wood alcohol has been. used or in
some cases where it has been taken
straight.
The, harmful action Of this poison
comes not only from taking it inter.
nally. but may likewise be, induced
by breathing its fumes. and by alb
sorption through the mucous mem
branes Of the body. It's effect is
usually noticeable very shortly after
exposure. Within a few hours after
drinking. acute headache is noted,
usually accompanied by violent at
tacks Of vomiting, body pains, ex-
tending over the region of the kid
neys. and excessive dizziness. Vision
may become impaired, total blindness
occur, and death itself result.
Only within recent years has wood
alcohol become so dangerous to life
and sight. Formerly it was dark.

no one was tempted to drink. Later.
process was developed by which
this color. smell and taste are re-
moved. Wood alcohol. when purified
