NEW FAITH IN DECLARATION
 BY DANIELS

On Board US.S. Henderson at Sea. by Destroyer to Hampton Roads, Va. Naval Base, June 30-Oficers of the Atlantic Fleet, who followed the air attack upon the discarded United States battleship Iowa were confident today that the test has proved that the modern battIeship is compara- lively safe from aerial boInbardments, consequently there is great glee on the Atlantic Fleet.
 About eighty bombs were aimed at the Iowa by the four bomber ma chimes that carried out the attack. some of them in salvoes of IT, and the official report showed two direct hits upon the Iowa'S forecastIe. There was no defense from the Iowa. The attack lasted hours and 27 minutes.
 The fleet is splitting up today and leaving the Hampton Roads base for the Fourth of July There are many officers on board who have new faith in the declaration of former Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels that he would be willing to stand upon the bridge cis a battleship and let Gen Mitchell bomb him, from an airplane.

DOES NOT LIKE OUR METHOD
 OF SPELLING

Sydney, N. S. w. June 2s.-Sir Adrian Knox, chief justice of the high court of Australia, does not ap- prove of the modern method of spell ing a number of words.
 Last month an affidavit was pre- Sented in the high court. containing an extract from a letter written in programme" was Americanized to program"
 His Honor said he would like Am ericans to know that Australia was not a dependency of the United States. The spelling of English words should be done in the proper way. The High Court, he said, was quite con- tent to adhere to the good old style of English spelling. Having pointed to the spelling of "centre" as "center' his Honor hoped that this method of orth ography was not taught in the schools. This is an Americanism I abhor," he added.
 Referring to the incident, MT. w. F. Gates. inspector of Schools of Vic toria declared that the chief Jus tice had planned himself in antagon- ism to the Pathological Societies of Great Britain and America and to Murray, the recognized modern 1eXi- cographer. The Victorian Educa ton Department had adopted small number of simplifications of spelling such as program "center," and "piow." It had also adopted the ending ''ize'' instead of ''ise'' The dipthons "ae" had been dropped, too.
 But declared MT. Gates, flor every simplificatio there is the high est English authority and it is there for not correct for Sir Adrian to refer to program and "center" as Amer are so spelt in the United States pub icationS."

Nash Motor
 Company Has
 Reduced Price

The Nash Motors Company an nounces a reduction in the prices of Nash passenger cars. both six and four cylinder models, ranging from $50 to $250. These prices, effective July ?, are as follows:
 Nash Six, 5 pass. touring car, S1,- 545; pass. touring car, $1,695; ' pass. Sedan, $2,695; 4 pass Coupe, $2,395; pass. Roadster, $1,525; 4 pass Sport Model, $1,695. Nash Four. Roadster, $1,175; pass. Coupe, $1,- l 735; 4 pass Sedan, $1.935. In a statement given out by C. w Nash, President of ahe Nash Motors | Company. and conside cred one of the Icountry'S highest authorities on eft1- cient and economical manufacturing, | he reported that these reductions rep resent lowered, production costs in the big Nash plants at Kenosha and Mil waukee. They are handed on to the public beca use it has always been the policy of the Nash Motors Company to give buyers the benefits of savings accomplished through operating econ orriy.
 We have always believed" said Mir Nash, -'that no man or institution which did not always deal fairly and squarely with the public could long survive.
 'tI take no small pride in the cars that bear my name, and yet honestly believe that our frank and open way | of taking the public into our confi- dence has played as important a part in our success as has the goodness of our product.
 For instance, last fall when there was a concerted and country wide feeling that. prices along all lines should be reduced, we were in abso- 1ute sympathy with the movement. And yet there was simply no prac- ticaI method by which to accomplish
 it, SO far as Nash cars were concern I:ed, because we would not sacrifice quality.
 frankly and told why we could not reduce prices until at least July 1.
 T am very certain that our course
 at this time conv3ncsd those who
 read the statement that the Nash Motors Company was doing the com mendable thing
 You see our prices during the four years prior to last Osto,ber had risen

 Nash prices were not inflated be- cause in addition to holding our price increase during this time to

 we are never content to stand still up here and we are constantly working to develop fuEther improve ment and refinements for Nash cars And we committed ourselves pub Ecly to continue to pursue our policy of steadily building a better value and holding to our prices until a re- duction could be affected through new economies in production which we were even then originating.
 ''The latest labor and tiIne-Saving devices were secured and every energy was bent toward accom- plish- ing these economies as rapidly as possible.
 Now we come forward with these reduced prices and at the same time offer an even more valuable car We have kept our word and we have also worked out the price reduc-

PROHIBITION
 HAS EFFECT ON CRIMINALS

Milwaukee, June 3Q.-Evidence has been found which seems to lnofCase d that prohibition, even with the olnI- culty of perfect enforcement, seems | to have a. decided effect upon crlm- | inality, Professor J. L. Gillin, or the University of Wisconsin told the Ma tional Conference of sooiai "orA a' .aThe study of the situation Tn Grand Rapids, Mich,'' Prof. Gillin stated, showed that during the nrst year of prohibition there' there Was Was a reduction of 54 per cent. in court cases and of 45 per cent the second | wear. It is a well known fact that the excessive use of alcohol Is coH- nected with certain crimes more ol+ n+ violence are more influenced. than crimes of cunning.
 cor. Elvood told us that alcoholic psychosis had decreased in the New York State hospital since prohibition went into effect. The percentage of first admissions decreased from S6 percent to 4 per cent in 1919-
 ''In Indiana, in 1920, the average daily number in the State prison was only 9O9 as compared with 1909 in 1917 In the reformatory the mum Der had decreased from 1276 in 19lI from 55 to 45. The number of wom- en misdemeanants in the Correctional department of the Women's Prison had decreased from III to 37; the
 
 decreased from 693 to 293. There was a slight decrease in the number in the Boys school. and slight in. crease in the number in the Girls school for those years. The com nitments to the State Farm dropped from 1922 in 1916 to 993 in 1920; to the Correctional Department of the woman's prison from 342 to 91; the number sentenced to jails from 9S96 to 2192.
 "A study reported by Mrs. Tyson fin Pennsylvania, shows the number of non-support cases in Pittsburgh dropped from 1855 in 1919 to 7S6 in 1920 The jail population of the State was decreased by half during last year.
 "In spite of the increase in arrests and commitments due to the enforce ment of the prohibftory law which tends to increase the number of crimes and prisoners. in Ohio the Secretary of the Board of Charities writes to me that he is convinced that prohibition has resulted thus far in a decrease of at least 20 per cent in petty and major offenses which were crimes prior to the enactment of the prohibition law.
 George S. Wilson, Secretary of the Board of Charities in the District of Columbia, writes me that the short experience of the district since Ma feet shows a very marked decrease in the number of petty offenders.
 Illinois in the three penal institu- tions of Joliet. Chester and Pontiac, the number of inmates showed a de- cidcd increase from 1913 to 1917, then a decrease in 1918 and 1919- With another increase in 1920, attri-

 Greyhound Racing

(By International News Service)
 Tulsa Okla June S0-The sport ing blood of Oklahoma oil men has quickened with a new thrill.
 It's greyhound racing-the cours- ing of the long-legged, deep-chested dogs around a race track. The races are held at night on a track brilliantly illuminated by electric lights.
 The revival of this ancient sport which for centuries has held such a grip on the English sporting public was begun June l. and in Tulsa one hears the greyhound races discussed wherever the sports gather
 Some famous pedigreed racers are entered in the races. and the dogs are given all the attention and care of famouse race horses of the running tracks. Big purses are put for the prizes. but that is not the only incen- tive which makes the races exciting The oil men go the limit when it comes to betting, and some of the wagers laid on the speeding dog which tear around the track like shadows at nearly a mile-a-minute clip would stagger an Eastern bettor who thinks he is "plunger."
 Greyhound racing promises to be the king of sports in this section this summer.

 OF ExTORTION

Paris, June 3O-The effect of the high cost of living in Paris upon tourist trade, as indicated by the growing frequency of complaints of France, is occupying the attention of the government The authorities hold that the tourists have the cure largely in their own hands; exaggaF- ated prices being due in large part to indiscriminate spending by visitors aided by the spendthrift tendency of French profiteerS.
 It is admitted that abuses practiced in amusement resorts, where meals, wine and dancing are provided, have their effect upon prices in general, but how to correct that evil without discouraging the most profitable trade is a question.
 Under Secfetary of State Paisant, discussing the question with Ameri- cans, proposes publicity as a remedy He has invited American visitors to join in a protest which will be pub lished in the Paris press. and he also will take up personally individual cases of extortion brought to his at tention.
 The most frequent causes Of com plaint are charges for lodgings in ho- told the Americans he had decided to ask hotels to publish their rates in the papers. This remedy would not, however, affect apartments, which are the subject of prof1teering on a scale hitherto unknown.
 There are very few unfurnished apartm ents to let. according to the real estate agencies: as fast, as va cated by tenants they are transform ed into furnished apartments and either let at rentals of from 300 to 1000 per cent. higher than the aver age before the war for furnished apartments of the same class, or rent ed at an increase of 200 to 800 per cent above the average for unfurnish- ed apartments. with the proviso that the tenant buy the furniture at ex- cessive figures.

 Whether prohibition accounts for the difference, of course, is still an open question. That it has had some influence is less doubtful.
