COMMIT TEE
REPORT FOR
PROHIBITION
Irish Freedom Clause Also
win Be Presented to
Convention.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus).

San Francisco, Cal, June 25.-l
The majority report OF the platform
committee Of the Democratic ma
tional convention will declare for
the enforcement OF the prohibition
amendment as the law Of the land.
Senator Glass, chairman of the
resolutions committee, is a dry
but moro than that he believes In
respecting constitutional amend
ments. There will be minority
report favoring q modification OF
the Volstead law 50 rs to provide
for . liberal Interpretation of the
18th amendment not Inconsistent
with its meaning as laid down by
the supreme court Of the United
States.
The details have not been work
cd out but asking congress to fix q
percentage Of alcohol to be used
In light wines and beer that could
come within the category Of non
Intoxicating beverages is one Of the
suggestions being made while 9TH
ers would adopt q simple resolu-
ton commencing President Wilson
for his veto Of the Volstead act.
With respect to the Irish ques-
tion, omitted by the Republican
convention, there will be q plank
on the subject here. The approach
to the problem that is being most
discussed 10 one not merely sympa-
thixing with the aspirations Of peo-
pies struggling for liberty and in
dependence but concretely pledging
the next chief executive, II he be
. Democrat, to invoke article II Of
the covenant OF the League Of Ma
lions in behalf Of Ireland.
Could Do So - Member.
II America becomes q member Of
the league she would be able, un-
der that article to draw to the at
! tention Of the league or any mem
Der Of It the distressing situation in
Ireland 1t would not be possible
for England to resent officially the
entrance Of the United States Into
the forum as q champion OF the
cause Of Ireland because article IL
says 1t is 'the friendly right" OF
any nation to call attention to any
/, matter affecting the good under
standing between nations.
President Wilson has again and
again referred to article II in his
public speeches and in his answers
to queries from Irish societies, but
has never gone SO far as to pledge
himself to invoke article II IN be-
! half Of Ireland. This, it Is pointed
out. convention and platform can
do. 1t would be a pledge to tak6
up the matter of Irish self deter
mination In an official way with
Great Britain through the medium
Of the league. The plan is meeting
with the favor OF many members OF
the resolutions committee.

SATURDAY CLASSES.

Since the holidays the Normal
School has changed to the plan of
holding school on Saturdays and not
on Mondays for the following special
reasons:
/. Under present train service
sout~of-town students who go home
over Sunday or at special vacations
find difficulty in getting back to
regular classes on time Mondays.
2. With the Normal School in
session on Saturdays teachers IN
service will have an opportunity to
visit the Normal School and arrange
for work in special classes which will
be formed. Already some interest
has been shown by such teachers in
the plan.
g.. With the Normal School in
vacation on Mondays members OF the
fla Guilty will have better opportunity
own schools with mutual advantage
to both.

THE WOMANS BUILDING.

Work is progressing on the new
-dormitory and the contractors say
that the building will be completed
by May 1st. The Normal School
Board has already placed orders for
most Of the equipment. This build
ing when completed will provide
rooming accommodations for fifty
girls and larger number for board
ing.
Room and board will be furnished
at cost. Already students are be-
ginning to reserve rooms. This may
be done through application to the
President or Secretary
The location of the Normal School
in the beautiful thirty acre campus
of native trees on the lake shore, to-
gether with the excellent courses
offered and the accommodations pro-
vided, will make the summer session
one of the best found anywhere.
The bulletin for the summer school
will be out soon. Provisions will be
made for all courses desired for GER
tificate purposes and regular credit
will be given toward the Normal
School diploma. The State Board of
Education recently has arranged to
discontinue Teachers Summer Terms
at the Farm Schools in Crookston,
Morris and the University Farm.
These students will be provided for
in summer terms at the State Normal
Schools and the University School of
Education.

UNITED STATES NOTES BEST
Central and South American Nations
Have Their Currency Printed
In This Country.

The American style Of banknote has
become the standard In the countries
of Central and South America. The
experience Of the Brazilian govern
ment led the way in this, after va
rious dlsappointments. First the
much-vaunted Austrian system was
tried, the notes being engraved and
printed in England under that system.
They proved complete failure.
Counterfeiters flourished. The Bra
zilians tried banknotes made in
France and these were promptly and
extensively initiated az soon as the
counterfeiters could get their plates
and paper ready. Brazil tried Ger
man and English establishments, but
still without success In the protection
of the banknote circulation, and at
last turned to the United States and
found a type of bills practically i'm
possible to counterfeit with success.
So it is no boast, but mere record
Of fact, to state that Americans make
the best banknotes in the world.

Bonds FOR Shelf PAPER,

Seattle. Wash.-How $4,000 of Sc
attic Improvement bonds, bought by a
son for an income for his mother, were
used by her to paper pantry shelves,
was disclosed when some Of the mu-
tilated bonds were brought to the Of
fee of City Treasurer F. L. Terry to
see if they had any value. According
to the story told Accountant A. B.
Lund, the bonds are the property of
an elderly woman who has been 1iv-
ing alone in Seattle several years. Dur
ing a long illness five or six years ago
she is said to have suffered tempo
rary lapse of memory, and when she
recovered apparently had forgotten
everything about the bonds and their
value.

Winnemuccu, Nev.-When time was
called the other morning on the
trenches being built on the new water
mains, all the Indians on the job sat
down and waited until D. o. Church of
San Francisco. who has the contract,
came along. "What's the matter, why
aren't YOU fellows at work?" he
asked. Then one of the Piutes ex-
planned that they wanted so cents
more q day. They had made no de-
mands, sent no committee to the boss,
nor anything but just quit work and
waited until asked the reason. The
job has to be rushed with all pos
sible speed. AID the red men got the

NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM THE NORMAL
INCREASED ENROLMENT.

This week completes half of the
first years work in the new State
Normal School at Bemidji. During
the fall term which closed at Thanks
giving, not a single student who en-
rolled at the beginning dropped out
and number of new students have
been added during the winter term.
In the elementary department,
consisting of the kindergarten and
first four grades, many more children
have applied for admission than
could be received.
The winter term will close Satur-
day, March 6.

MUMMlES STILL HIDDEN.
Although the armistice was signe

Although the armistice was signed
more than a year ago, Egyptian
mummies belonging to the British
museum are still lying in cold, damp
underground tunnels of buildings,
where they were rcinterred so that
they might not be injured by Zeppe-
lin raids.
Previously having spent centuries
in the tombs of kings in Egypt, if
they could speak the mummies
would resent this troglodytic exist
ence, but school children have
spoken for them. They want to see
the mummies again, but the museum
is still closed to the public and the
mummies are still left in their hid
ing places of Zeppelin days.

Reur Admiral William S. Sims, U.

mind. A year or so before the war he

Just the same, this same sailorman
not long afterWard was in command of
the American fleet that went to the

able work.
On his return to this country Ad-

fell foul Of the Slim Feiners in Ire
