TO make prohibition more effective

Irish Travel Stops.

The tourist resorts of Ireland-the
Lakes of Killarney and Glengarriff-
have suffered greatly during the war
and the resumption of normal condi-
tons, with freedom Of travel for pleas
ure, will be required to bring back
their old-time prosperity. So Queens
town and, to smaller degree, the
city of Cork has been affected by the
entire cessation of the extensive pas
senger traffic to and from the United
States. Queenstown was the princi-
pal port for Irish emigration to the
United States. and the change In that
respect is highly significant. There
aresmore young men In Ireland today
than there were for very many years
before the war. Emigration, which
for the ten years ending March 1, 1911,
averaged 3S,80S from all Ireland, fell
in 1917 to 2,111. and in 1918 to $50
natives Of Ireland. Embarkation of
emigrants and others from Queens
town which amounted to 20,SS3 in 1913,
and 21,430 in 1914, stopped altogether
In November 1914.

An interesting development in tele-
phony is new three-wire wall net
which operates on two ordinary dry
cells, says the Scientific American. The
telephone itself is built for the use
and pleasure of youngsters. The in-
stallation is very simple, as the tele
phones fasten to the walls with two
screws and there is nothing more tech
nical for the boy to do than to follow
simple Instructions in connecting the
wire with the posts on each telephone
box. The set will operate up to 1000
feet, instead of the usual 100 or 200
feet, if two additional dry cells are
employed.

Of over twenty miles on single
charge and has four speeds, ranging
from a crawl up to five miles per
hour.
The control is said to be so SIM
pie that any person, no matter with
what disabilities, can sit in the car
riage and start right away, and it
is fitted with reverse on all speeds.
1t is only necessary to hold the steer
ing lever with the left hand and gent
ly push over the controller handle

ent of chair man or attendant, and the
cost Of upkeep is said to be trivial.
