like this one:
Put down the number OF your

Ruling Affects Anti-AlcohoI
Congress Discussion of Coler
and Kramer Papers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-To pre-
vent recurrence of controversies such
as stirred yesterdays session of the
international congress against al
coholism Chairman Dinwiddie TODAY
ruled that personal candidates. and
personalities must not be brought into
the discussions.
Discussion of the papers read YES
terday by Bird S. Coler. New York
commissioner of Public Welfare and
Prohibition Commissioner Kramer,
which was reopened at the morning
session, was materially curtailed by
the ruling.
Mr. Dinwiddie said it was neither
the time nor the place for employing
attacks of controversial or acrimoni
Gus nature" and declared his intention
of ordering that "the program be con-
tlnued when such discussion enters. -
Rcpl ying to published statements
ttat the congress was under control
OF prohibitionist group of this coun
try and that its purposes were being
diverted as result, the chairman de-
clared that mo organization is rum
ming this congress" and said reports
to the contrary were utterly false
1T has been suggested from some
sources, both in the press and by some
OF our enemies, that the Anti-Saloon
League was dominating this meeting,'
continued MIR. Dinwiddie. "Such sur
gcstions are false, for the Anti-Saloon
League nor any other organization has
been given more than it's due share of
&C consideration in the preliminary plans
or in the direction of the work of this
meeting, which is distinctly a govern

Yellow soup bowls, purple cups and
other bizarre chinaware, crockery and
pottery utilized to MAKE up "atmos-

wich Village hereafter will be taboo
for the students and professors of
Washington Square College.
For years the 5000 or more students
and faculty members Of the college,
which is the main branch of New
York University, have had to depend
for their lunches on the Greenwich
Village restaurants. The college is
right on the edge of the Village, and
every noon hour found the students
sauntering forth for lunch with choice
only as between "The Robbers Dcn,"
"The Bunnies' Hole" and similar
restaurants. where more attention was
given to "atmosphere" than to food.
Yesterday Washington Square Col
legc revolted. Pedagogues and stu
dents gave their solemn oaths that they
would hereafter be free and indcpend-
ent of "Greenwich Village food goug-
ers." Never again, they said, would
aspirants for educational honors have

and fruit.
Resolutions promising to defeat the

Outdoor Club, the Psi XII Omega Soror-
ity and the Violet Club. The two latter
societies held joint meeting at which
the following resolution was passed.:

lunches to school each day until such a
time as the restaurant owners in this
vicinity agree to bring their prices

Predicts Good Business.
Despite Price Decline
rom The Trsounes's Washington Bureau

rom The Tribunes Washington Rureou
WASHINGTON, Sept. "a.
Good business for the remainder
of the year is the forecast made
by Archer Wall Douglas, chair
man of the committee on statis-
tics and standards of the Cham
ber of Commerce of the United
States, in his monthly report on
crop and business conditions.
While conservatism and eau
tion seem to be the keynote Of
business everywhere, Mr.. Doug
las said there is no evidence of
apprehension, except in few un-
important quarters. Events of
the last weeks have borne out
previous predictions that the peak
of high prices and business ac-
tivity is past, the report says,
and somewhat painless read
justment of business will follow.
Purchasing is liberal enough, but
on a sane and sober basis of
needs and not speculation, the re-
port says.
About so per cent Of the whole
country is enjoying business de-
;cribed as "good.'
