AMUhOSER STILL
ON THE MAUDE'
WASHINGTON

Washington. April 13.-Captain
ROAD Amundsen, discoverer of the
South Pole and now leader of a North
Polar expedition, has not left his ship,
the "Maude' for a final dash to the
pole. The denial of the recent re-
port from London that the Amundsen
dash had actually begun was received
in Washington today by Gilbert eros
venor, president of the National Geo
graphic society, in cablegram from
the Norwegian Geographical society.
According to the earlier report
from Christian published in London
on March &c. the explorer began the
dash across the polar ice field accom-
panied by only two men, Had this
report proved true, Amundsen's dash,
il successful. might have brought him
to his goal on the same day on which
the pole was discovered by Pear, in
1909 april 81.
Geographers who are familiar with
Captain Amundsen's plans will not be
surprised at the denial of the report
that he has left his ship for such a
departure a this time would be con-
trary to all the plans OF his expedi-
ton.
When he. left Norway in July. 1918,
it was Amundsens intention to allow
the "Maude" to be frozen in the ice,
following Nansen's example in 1898
hansen was frozen into the ice Sep
TENDER %, 1898. and not until March
a. 1895, did he reach a point where
he decided to leave his ship, 400 miles
from the goal. But this distance was
too great for successful dash 10 the
pole

anee sentiment Of South Africa, in
Guiding the churches. has started q
campaign for total pronfpition. 1t has
made an appeal to the Anti-Saloou

ident of the South African Temperance
alliance, which alliance is amalgamat>

loon league OF America in response TO
the appeal of the temperance and pro-
hibition forces of South Africa. will
come over and help us"
The slogan of the Transvaa1 drys Is.
Prohibition for South Africa" They
need encouragement and help and in
the use of emergency funds collected
by the Anti-Saloon league provision

WHAT TITLES MEAN
IN SALVATION ARMY

There is one thing about the SAL
Vation army that has puzzled the
service man since his return TO civil
ufe. That is the designation of titles.
which combines naval and army
rankings. When he reads OF Ensign
Jones IN command OF the Salvation
army work in Richmond and Captain
Wright ranking officer In South Rich
mona. a subdivision, he wants to know
how this happens.
The salvation army Is DESIGNATED
an army but the titles OF the officers
are common to the United States army
and navy, says Brigadier William Es.
colt who Is commanding officer of the
diVlsion in which Virginia lies. TO
become an officer in the organization
a candidate must enter the training
many phases of the work. Then there
is an appointment as probationary of.
fcer.
The next promotion Is that of
lieutenant After holding this RANK
for at least two years, the rank OF
captain may be granted. The next sta
ton, that OF ensign. can only be
reached after seven years service as
an officer. Then comes the ONCE OF
adjutant, open only to those who
have seen service ten years. The
highest field rank is that OF COM
nandant, which Is the reward for at
least nineteen years OF consecutive and
continuous service.
Following this may come the pro-
motion to staff positions, which are
those of captain. major. bri9ahier,
liesltenant-colonel and colonel. Mics
Evangeline Booth is in charge of the
Salvation army work In the United
States and has the title of commander,
w. BramweH Booth Is general of the
army having succeeded hts father,
who was the founder. All field rsnks
are passed on by the colo?fel in
charge OF the province where tho OF
ficers are stationed. Stan officers are
appointed by the international body,
with headquarters in London"

EnPOR|A TOWN COUNCIL
TAKES FORWARD STEP

The town council OF Emporia has
just enacted legislation which will
put this enterprising Southern Eir
ginia community in the 'front.' rank
along the lines Of sauitat ton and
health.
An ordinance has been adopted re-
curing all premises within ESQ feet
of sewer to be connected Herewith
while such premises as are further
away are required to be equipped
with sanitary latrines of the box and
can type. This action insures the
connection OF 10 additional proper
ties with the towns sewer system
and the equipment with sanitary
toilets of fifty others, making the
town 100 per cent sanitary. Six
months is allowed far the completion
Of the work required by the ordl-
nance.
Great interest in health and sani-
tation has been aroused by the per-
sonal work OF g.. :. Bote. district
supervisor of the pubic neairn ser
vice, and Sanitary Demonstration r.
A. Deal. Not only does the new or
dinance promise to be valuable to the
town as resulting in improved health
conditions. but will also add more
than $1,000 year to the income or
the town treasury in water rents as
the result Of the sewer connections.
An interesting feature of the edu-
catIonal work done at Emporia was
the appreciative attitude of the COL
ored people, who gave the supervising
health officer very cordial receptions
at largely attended meetings at the
Royal Baptist, the Methodist and
Mount Zion Union coIored churches
on a recent Sunday afternoon.

STUDY APPEAL BY

New York, April 1.-THE American
Wine Grower9 Association has en-

Among other things. the drys say
that the association forgets that. so

of the United States Is authority FOR

ROCkBRIDGE CONDUCTS
BIG SANITATION WEEK.

Rockbridge county has just closed
great sanitation week" during
which the gospel of the fundamen-
tails of health and sanitation have
been carried to every part OF the
county and with such success that
health workers believe the immedi-
ate result will be the construction OF
not less than 1000 latrines OF the
sa nitary types.
The speakers at many Of the meet
ings were DR.. w. A. Brumfeld, of
the state board OF health: DIR. w. r.
Draper, of the L. S. public health
service, and County Demonstrators
T. j. Robinson, aided by many pro-
fessional men and private citizens.
Never before in the history of the
county has interest in health matters
been so general.

there have been no sessions of crimi
nal court term after term after the
coming of prohibition. In others the
spsinesg of the grand jury il over in
day and trial jurors often are re-
leased in Il couple Of days or half a
week. Farmers formerly were called
from their spring plowing and plant
ing at time when their work was
most seriously needed to try cases
growing out of saloon brawls or re
sulting from drunken neglect of fam
lilies. If the aggregate of time wasted
because of saloon offenses were com
puted 1t would startle us and we
should wonder that any such time
wasting institution ever was permit
ted.
Charts kept by employers show
tremendous waste of time, careless
ness in handling products, breakage
of machinery and other PFerentahle
waste growing out of drinking by
workers. most of which waste is now
being eliminated.
Furthermore, prohibition uni
iormly brings the saving habit. Not
only do mon and women under pro-
hibition put their money into savings
banks, but they acquire habit of
thrift which leads them to safeguard
time resources and possessions.
Ihey are more painstaxfng about
their clothing; they keep their build
fngs better painted, insured and main
tanned; they study economy in buy
ing and selling they seek for the
higher, but not necessarily more ex-
pensive, things.
"All in all, prohibition will bring
about indeed is bringing about. a
more stable condition in which ex-
cessive profits will appear, production
Will increase, distribution and trans
portation will be improved, and every
