STORK VISITS ZOO

From the New York Tribune. ~ UZETTE, the trained chimpanzee |S of the Bronx Geological park,
 ushered into the world yester- day the second of her kind ever to be born in America. It's a girl.
 The happy event took place month ahead of time and Bona. the proud father, was the only one present. Like any normal husband. Bona went out of his head completely.
 His wild howls brought keepers on the run to the outside cage. where he and his wife were quartered. They found the happy father jumping up and down in one corner, shrieking his head off. and in another Suzette with her baby held tightly in her arms. pr. W. Reid Blair, the park surgeon. was sent for at once. He immediately ordered Bona from the room. In his own cage the father recovered. some what, and his hysterical yelps changed to hoarse cheering.
 No human infant. short of royalty, ever stirred up the fuss that Suzette's offspring then caused in the Primate House
 She and her mother were carried ten derly to the most comfortable cage This was surrounded by screens and ip-toeing attendants ldrove all visitors from the buildins with whispered com mands.

Would Abolish Hanging

sCapita1 punishment should be abol- ished forever from our statute books, says Mrs. K. NJ. Shaw. "and especially hanging, which is the most barbarous and dreadful mode of putting out a fife in existence today outside of di- rect torture.
 Hanging has been practiced as. a means of death since the time of Christ. Judas, overcome with remorse, hung himself. In the dark ages they reserved the hanging for the lowest thieves and beheaded the higher class of culprits.
 Perhaps some people are dangerous and are better dead. But can. they be killed in some other way than by a sickening drop through trap and q sudden snap of the neckbone and the few slow moments of pain and strang- ulation?"

railway yards and tracks at Laon, where the Germans had long been en- trenched, and finally in the push north of verdun. These guns poured 14- inch shells on the railway running from Montmedy to Conflans and prac- tically put transportation of German supplies out of business. General Per- shing in his official report says: Our large calibre guns cut the enemy's line of communications, and nothing but surrender or an armis tics could save his army from complete dis aster"
 It is now known that it was be-. lieved in France that such large guns mounted on railway cars would be inn practicable in action and, in fact, never could be transported over their bridges or through their tunnels. Apparently few thought the plan anything but impossible of achievement "All right" said Vauclain, then we'll do the impos- sible.' It is a matter of pride to Phil adelphians that one of their own sons designed an unprecedented mounting for 14-inch guns and constructed five of them in record time, which were leading factors in bringing Germany swiftly to her knees.

Record Gratifying

The record that Birmingham is mak- ing in stamping out typhoid fever should be gratifying to every citizen" said George Handley of Atlanta for merly of this city.
 T can remember the day when ty- phoid was thought to be the scourge of Birmin gham. It really was serious drawback to the prosperity of the city. Hundreds of people died every year. and many others lost time and money while inflicted with the disease.
 q am glad to seel the record that is being made this year. According to reports. there have been only two cases to break out this month. This is a great contrast to the summer months several years ago. I think the health department deserves much credit for the efficient record that is being made.'

UMBRELLA MIKE RULES CHICAGO

From the Chicago News.

 of practically all surface car transportation. This extremely inju- rious condition of things came with out warning. Hundreds of thousands of persons who ordinarily use the street cars were left to make their of employment as best they could. De- spite the hasty additions to the facili- ties of the elevated and steam railroad lines and the thousands of motor cars, trucks and other means of transpor- tation that were pressed into service, nearly everybody was inconvenienced, the majority was late, thousands did not reach their places of employment and thousands paid from ten to twen- ty times the price of a street car ride to be carried to their work
 A wage dispute between the officers of Electrical Workers Union No. 134 and the management of the Chicago Surface Lines led to this state of de- moralization affecting a community of nearly S,Oo0,000 souls. Suddenly or- dered out. the men struck at o'clock in the morning and as they quit work in the power houses they shut off the electric current, leaving street cars stranded wherever they happened to be on the tracks. Thus was the maxi mum amount of injury and loss to the

Even the most casual reader Of the
news of the day realizes that Prohibi-
ton has Its hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic is waging at the polls,
in the courts and in the public press
the most desperate and determined
fight in its history.
To those who think America now
is dry" all that is necessary ia a
glance around you. Reports are COM
ing daily of the death Of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous connections sold
under the guise Of corn whisky, and
the activities of the so-called blind
tigers" were never so pronounced in
the history Of the country as at the
present time.
EIIhu Root Leads Vets
And this is the very condition that
is sought and is being encouraged by
the liquor interests. They are being
advised by learned and highly paid
counsel, led by Elihu Root, to use ev-
cry means in their power to make Pro
hibition a by-word and to make con-
ditions under Prohibition so intolera-
BILE and the violations Of the law so
fragrant and the lack Of law enforce
ment so notorious that the people will
become Disguised with the situation
and demand a return to the licensed
saloon.
1t is the plan and purpose Of the
Prohibition Enforcement campaign, In
so far as America is concerned, to &C
quaint the people Of this country with
this situation and to open their eyes
and keep them open to the subtle
propaganda campaign which Is being
waged by the liquor interests.
They are spreading the report and
encouraging the belief that the Pro-
hibition forces now will turn their At
tention to legislation against tobacco,
tea and coffee.
No War on Tobacco
In this connection Judge Nash r.
Broyles, chief justice Of the Georgia
Court of Appeals, says:
"The agitation as to prohibition OF
tobacco is camouflage to handicap the
enforcement Of the liquor prohibition
laws. The persistent propaganda by
the National Tobacco League to the ef-
feet that the Anti-Saloon League Is
backing an anti-tobacco campaign is
entirely unfounded."
The prohibition campaign asks moth.
ing more nor less than enforcement
Of the Prohibition laws already on the
statute books and the enactment Of
further legislation to strengthen them.
The campaign does not propose to

TN the early stages of the fight for
L national prohibition the states OF the
south took the lead and have main
tanned it in all the trying years in
which the dry forces have been locked
in a death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this coun-
try.
AS a section the south was the first
to clear itself of the stain of the liquor
traffic and has been no small factor
in giving it's moral and financial sup
mort in the successful battles which
other sections of the country have
waged against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in Amer
lea with the constitutional amendment
that becomes operative January 16.
And now the south is called upon to
take the lead in the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign under the direc-
ton of e. Y. Clarke, of Atlanta, which
comes as a logical and absolutely nee
essary result of the enactment OF pro-
,hibition laws, both state and national,
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
"Flnish tho Job"
Lets enforce prohibition and fin
ish the job" has become the slogan
and the watchword of those in charge
of the campaign to enforce prohibition
in this country. The speed and ef-
jfectiveness with which this work Is
done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent OF the CO.
IonerationA of those who have made
possible the results already achieved.
The placing Of the prohibition laws
and measures for their enforcement
upon the statute books by no means
finished the job. There is still vast
amount of work to be done before
the liquor forces confess defeat and
retire from the field.
While the saloon has been legislat-
ed out Of business, it is making de-
termined effort to come back, and It
is the purpose Of the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign to see that 1t
doesn't come back.
The Liquor Propaganda
When the Eighteenth amendment
to the constitution was passed we'll
meaning friends Of Prohibition said:
"Our nation now is legally dry; the
cause Of prohibition has triumphed !;
the fight is won and we are through
with It."
The intensive campaign OF the liquor
interests to nullify Prohibition is the
answer. Their propaganda organiza-
ton has been eQualled only by that OF
the eerman government
