Borough President Henry II. Curran
coalition designee for the Renubl;can
nomination for Mayor, in statement
issued from his campaign headquar-
ters yesterday, declared that if elected
he would enforce the prohibition laws
as ne would enforce all laws. Mr.. Cur
rams statement was reply to one of
number Of questions submitted to
him recently by the League Of Women
Voters.
In his reply, he was at pains to make
it clear that where the prohibition
laws infringed rights guaranteed all
citizens under the Fourth Amendment
to the Constitution Of the United
States, he would respect the Constitu-
ton
The question Mr. Curran had under
taken to answer was:
IF elected Will you vigorously m
hold the state law for enforcement Of
prohibition and cooperate with the
Federal authorities in enforcing the
Eighteenth Amendment?"
Duty to Enforce Law
Mr.. Currans reply follows.
The answer to your question is that
when l am Mayor | shall enforce this
law the same as any other law. It
IS the duty of the Mayor to enforce
the laws snd his oath Of Office carries
that pledge.
Il have been told that il would be

Use of Peat as Fuel.

rev have realized that peat might
replace coal and break to a large ex-
tent the dependence of some of the
northern states upon distant coal
mines.
For several months a Minneapolis
company has been engaged in the prep
aration of peat for fuel, said to be the
only enterprise Of Its kind in the u
try. A machine has been perfected that
digs, m%acerates and spreads out to dry
700. tons Of wet peat in q day, or q
quantity sufficient to produce 100 tons
Of dry fuel. That's how much peat
contracts In the drying process. One
man operates the machine.
During the summer the machine was
operated On q bog near Minneapolis,
and peat, processed at the University
of Minnesota, was burned with salts
factory results In a Minneapolis Office
building.
A crusher plant, with q capacity Of
500 tons of peat a day, has been built
In Minneapolis during the winter to
produce powdered peat, and In the
spring ten peat digging machines are
to be started on the Minnesota boys.

Delivering the Goods.

Edouard Belin, the inventor Of

"Of course, the transmission Of
photographs by wire was thought out
before my time. But my predecessors,

could not put 1t into practice. So
nothing much came Of their work, for
OIL inventors hackers insist on the
prompt delivery Of the goods.
N"An inventor can't treat his back
ers as Whistler, the painter, treated
his sitters. One of Whistler's sitters,
you know, was in a hurry to have her

VALUABLE PROPERTY
FOR NEGRO WOMAN

New Orleans, May 3.-Lillie Tay-
lor, a negro woman, vas awarded
oil and mineral rights in property in
Claiborne parish said to amount TO
s2O,000,000 in a decision rendered
late today by the state supreme
court.
This decision was rendered in a
suit brought by the Taylor woman
against Angelina Allen and George
West, claimants to the property. Ac-
cording to the evidence offered in
the case, the Taylor woman's father,
Of whom she was alleged to be an
illegitimate child, sold the property
20 Angelina Allen and George West,
but did not give them a quit claim.
The parentage Of the Tayolr wom-
an was said to have been the chief
issue in the trial of the case. The
court decision today confirms the
claim of the Taylor woman that she
is the child of the original owner of
the property in question.

That twice around an elephants

FACTS O SALT

Whether q mans taste for salt
is acquired, hereditary or elemen-
tai is a mattr for discussion, and for
DISCUSSION that comes 20 no coaclu-
sion, but that all so-caled uncivili-
zed mel and nearly all socalled un-
civilized men eat salt Is a fact. That
man can live without the salt that is
taken from mines or from, the sea
by evaporation seems TO have been
established, but to take salt from a
man who has used it all his life is to
give him considerable trouble. That
trouble may be mental Or physical
and it may be both. Doctors, as usu-
al, will not agree.
One may consider salt as a food
or merely as a condiment which
gives SAVIOR to food, and in one sense
1t seems to be a medicine, for some
authorities say that salt is Of great
benefit in the animal economy as an
.antiseptic and as a preventive Of in
testinal worms. Il seems TO be esta-
blished that domestic cattle are the
better for 1t and it has come to be
considered a necessity for horses.
No stock-raiser would neglect to
salt" his animals.
Stephenson, the arctic explorer,
telling Of his meeting with blonde
Eskimos in Coronation guf, said
that the xatives of the far and
frozen north, who have had NO con-
tact or slight contact with whites do
not like food favored with salt. He

Democrats WHO are fighting the
measure concentrated their attack
on sections not contained in the bill,
as it was passed at the last congress,
namely, the anti-dump;ng and cur
.ency conversion features. Their as
saults brought from Mr.. McCumber
the statement that he did not re-
gard the anti-dumping section as ex
tremely important and he added:

ing section from all angles. I admit
candidly that it will do little good
and I am certain it will do no harm
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, Ne

that its currency conversion provi-
sion would "~penahze" American
consumers. He inquired frequently
of Republican senators how they re-
conciled that pharse with their party
declarations for a lowered living

Washington, May 5.-Condftions

and frequent rains in much OF the
belt have been unfavorable for cot

"The weather was less unfavor-

where field work made fairly good
progrss; planting has progressed
northward to northern North Caro-

Cotton is up to generally good
stand in South Carolina, but. ger

and much replanting is necessary.
Little cultivation was possible in
the Mississippi valley and very little

Declaration Made by inventor

Among the things that have their

agances hold a prominent place. The

what has gone before. #
"Tachlism" Is the name Of a new.
art Invented by Signor Marinetu, the
italian futurist. who, recently, to a
large audience Of painters, art critics
and society people in Paris, explained
its principles. 1t is a method Of con-
vsying Impressions through the sense
of touch, (which has hitherto been
neglected by the arts"
Marinetti told how he had tried to
establish q series Of conventions,
which could be easily learned, by
which different touches would bring
forth definite ideas. For instance.
something rough, splky and hot to the
touch would give the idea OF the
Sahara. The seas would be conjured
up by something smooth and cold, like
silver paper, and Paris by a mixture
Of silk and velvet. 1t is an evidence
OF the readiness of the day to take
up anything new that this adventur-
Gus futurist pioneer IS now the lion of
the season. He intends to be in Paris

ceived 50 many invitations to attend
