WHY

the Italian. where It means cool, Or, as
we have slightly altered the word, fresh.
In connection with paintings. a ''fresco"
is picture o decoration done ID water

such case the plaster is LAID On as tho

CHARGE OF LIQUOR PLOT
GOES BEFORE GRAND JURY
Officials in Philadelphia Allege
Scheme to Substitute Water for
Spirits Taken From Bond.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, November 60
Evidence gathered by prohibition en-
forcement officials bearing on an al
legged plot to substitute water for
whisky and alcohol withdrawn from
bond for export will be presented to
a federal grand jury, Robert H. Abel,
prohibition official announced.
There is no doubt" he said. that
some prominent business men and
government officials will be incrim-
mated"
Details of the alleged plan presented
to him to ship water to foreign coun-
tries under his export license while
the whisky and alcohol the water
represented was disposed Of in the
United States were outlined by H. H.
Smith at a hearing before prohibition
enforcement officers, to determine Q
whether Smiths export license is to
be revoked.
The proposal was made, Mr.. Smith
testified, by man named as 'Dr.
George Kheriella," who introduced
him to eight other men holding per-
mits for withdrawal of liquor from
bond. According to the plan, he said.
the alleged conspirators were to pool
their withdrawal permits and ap-
parently turn the whisky and alcohol
over to Smith for export. In reality,
according to the alleged plot, Smith
would export water and the whisky
and alcohol would be sold to boot
leggers.

The new law abolishes the present

based principally on the manufac-
turers' prices. Under the present law
the ultimate consumer not only had
to pay tax on the original cost Of

sis, he had to pay on the numerous
profits obtained by the middlemen as
the article came down the line to the

SEES LACK OF SINCERITY
ON ILLITERACY PHGBLEM
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait Raps
Both Major Political Parties, in
Addressing Convention.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 26.-Sin-
cerity of politicians in the two major
parties in dealing with illiteracy was
questioned by Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait at the illiteracy conference of the
eastern states.
In a criticism of the Sterling-Tow-
ner illiteracy bill before Congress.
Mrs Gait declared that she agreed
with every provision Of the bill, but
that psychologically 1t was bad bill.
Its form could not be worse. she said.
Politicians tell u.s." she continued,
that they would do anything to wipe
out illiteracy and to get rid OF 1t.
But there are few of them who do not
realize that one of their chief sources
of power lies in the manipulation en-
bloc of the illiterate vote, and SO they
will not outwardly oppose an illit-
eracy measure. but they will seek
whenever possible to find fault with
our methods to question our system
of getting rid OF it and to block
effectively any legal measure which
would accomplish what we wish to
do"
Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart, chair.

rapidity in Europe without adding the
influence of democratic America.
When the crown prince returned to
Japan in September he planned to
visit America next year. He wanted
to see the country of which he had
heard so much and toward which his
grandfather, the great Emperor Meiji
Tenno, the first emperor of the res
toration and of modern Japan, had
always been so friendly. The general
impression was that If the present
conference ended as amicably as ex-
pected the crown prince would cross
the Pacific in the spring of 1922.
His accession to the regency, pre-
| liminary to ascending the throne as
| the 125th Emperor of Japan, makes
that impossible. The eldest of his
! three brothers, Prince Yasuhito. a
| sturdy young army major of nine
teen years, may do so, but Japanese
history says that with the exception
OF the legendary Regent Empress
Jingo, who donned her late consort's s
armor and, accompanied by her ma
ture adviser. Takenouchi, aged 3O6
years, subdued Korea in the year 2OI,
none OF the mikados and epperors
BIC. has ever left Japan.

crown prince as regent was forecast in
cables from Toxic to this newspaper
early in October, no hint was given by
the imperial family council, the adult
| male members of the imperial family
who must act. as to when the appoint
! ment would be made. The law pro-
! Vfdes for regency when the en-
! peror "is prevented by some perma-
| nent cause from governing" 1t also
says that the kotaishi ("crown
| prince"o shall be regent if he is of
age. The present regent was born
April 20, 1901, making him aged twen-
ty-one years. according to japanese
| birthdays. while eighteen years is the
legal age in Japan.
According to unvarying precedent
the crown prince will not succeed to
| the throne until the death of the en-
peror. As explained to me by one of
| the attending physicians only last
| month. the emperor's condition is not
critical and many years of life are ex-
pected. though his health does not
permit participation in court func-
| tions. He is now forty-two years old
He has been tubercular since his boy
| hood. and in recent years complica-
tions of Bright's disease have been
added. His mind is usually clear, but
there are frequent lapses of memory
and, though he can walk alone, he
often requires assistance
