Year Records Show Employment Gains in Six industries

- EVELOPMENTS of war must be the mple-
Y ments of peace, according to Brig. Gen.
Amos A. Fries. chief of chemical warfare OF
the army. Accordingly. the chemical warfare
service has recently begun campaign to develop
gases that will attack and exterminate not only the
that infest sewers but the bugs and that
eat up the leaves and fruits of various agricultural
products. At present the army is working request
from Representative Philip d. Swing of Imperial VAL
ley, California, in the hope of finding something that
will exterminate the backbrd pest in that community.
Representative Swing a recent visitor at the
Edgewood arsenal where the chemical warfare gas
research is being carried He had already asked
the government to devise preventive against the
blackbrds He complained that the biackbirds bred
in millions in the delta of the Colorado River, just
below the Grand Canyon. and came over in midsum-
mer to devastate the kahr fields sowed by the
farmers of the famous Imperial Valley.
AS result of his visit he was assured that the
chemical warfare service could devise poison that
would kill of the birds and drive off the Others
He told, however that to it the farmers would
have to content themselves with using their products
for food and fodder alone the chemicals would
destroy the reseedng value of the fruit In response
the Representative pointed out that things stand
the farmers get neither food seed. Mr.. Swing
assured that the government would undertake a
series Of experiments attempt to develop some
thing that would both protect the grain and its
seeding qualities.
The effectiveness of chemical warfare against ro-
dents has already been proven. The army recently
sent group of experts to Cuba with chemicals and
instruments for destroying rats and other verin The
result of their efforts is reported to have been
satisfactory Several requests have already been
ceived through Congress for further experiments in
cities OF the United States in combating similar pests
The present plans of the War Department are to
get from the Department of Agriculture and the De-
parment of the Interior such suggestions as they may
care to make on the peace-time work to be done
against rodents and pests and then turn the time
forces of the army to work against them. Both the
Agriculture and Interior departments are working ON
the new problems and efforts being made to get
from the farmers of the country and from the heads
OF city governments suggestions the best prob
lens against which to the new chemical develops

ATTACK In SENATE
ON ANTI-BEER BILL
Broussard Says the Dry Law
Was Aimed at Lib
erty.

The first attack upon the Willis
Campbell anti-beer amendment to
the volstead prohibition enforce
ment act was delivered in the SEN
ate yesterday by Senator <Broussard,
of Louisiana. He predicted that the
bill, which passed the House Mon
day, and is now before the Senate
Judiciary Committee, was only a
forerunner of still more drastic leg
islation.
This proposed amendment" he
said. violates every principle upon
which our government was founded.
Il dare say that the provisions
which are proposed under the
amendment will bring about more
dissatisfaction, bring about more
discomfort, bring about more con-
tempt and disrespect for the law
than any one of the other causes
which have been discussed on the
floor Of the Senate.
The measure which is now Ne
fore the Senate Is merely a fore
runner of the volstead act which Is
to follow 1t. 1 know sat the pro-
hibition movement worked under a

UNCLE WIGGILY AND LULU'S
PLUMS
BY Howard b. CARTS

ooh, Uncle Wiggily, come with
me! I'm going TO snake a RED
plum tree. Perhaps, my dear old
gentleman bunny, we may have an
adventure that VIII be quite
funny"
Lulu wibblewobbl the duck
girl, sang this little verse in a
quacking voice one day as she
made her way slowly over the field
to the hollow stump bungalow
where Mr.. Longears lived.
What's that you're saying? ?"
asked Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, as
she opened the door to shake the
tablecloth outside so the birds
could pick up the crumbs.
II want to know If Uncle Wig
gily can come with me--Im 60
ing to shake a red plum tree!"
quacked Lulu.
whats that? Shake a plum
tree? asked Uncle Wiggily bounc-
ing out of the door on the end
of his red, white and blue striped
rheumatism crutch. WAS the
plum tree bad. that you want to
shake it?" the rabbit uncle in
quired.
ooh, no, indeed" said Lulu. "It's
only that I want to jiggle down
some plums so my mother can
make them into sauce. l thought
perhaps you'd like to come with
me and help shake the tree"
"Of course, would" Uncle
Wiggily replied. "I'll be with you
in a second or two"
1t did not take the rabbit gen.
tleman very long to comb out his
whiskers and give his pink nose

THE TRIBUNE LIBEL SUIT.

The Judge hearing the demurrer Of the Chicago
Tribune to the complaint Of the city of Chicago
against that paper, for $10,000OOO damages for
libel, has sustained that demurrer and refused to
allow the city amend its complaint. This ends
the case in the lower court unless the decision of
the appellate court remands the case with a re-
versal of the ruling
The Thompson Ludin-Small machine has ruined
Chicago. The Tribune said so. Under the plea
that the structures of the Tribune had destroyed
the credit of the city, Mayor Thompson brought
this action in the name of the city. The court has
said nothing doing"
one shudders in contemplation of what would
have happened to the freedom Of the press of Hill
nos to discuss public evils, had this maloderous
gang succeeded in its attempt, earlier in the year,
to elect q complete judicial ticket With the judi
ciary in the hands of the gang, the great safe
guards of liberty and property would have been
gone The Tribune would have been put out of
business, in all probability. But the people re-
belled against turning the courts over to the poll
ticians and impartial judge sat between the TIL
bune anC the consprators.
We congratulate the Tribune. We also con-
graduate the people. Freedom of discussion is
not to be curtaed in Illinois. little later we
will see whether it is to be curtaed in New Mexico
When public evils of every kind cannot be dis
cussed before the people with safety to the news
paper, liberties will disappear. The people of
a democracy must be given chance to know what
is going
The Judge in the Tribune case made ruling
of far-reachng effect We will discuss it later.
In brief he held that the English rule of libel was
not inherited by the United States along with the
common law He pronounced it Incompatible with
the genius of government
Unless the libel law is evolved and Hberalized
to meet the needs Of democracy, government
of the people can not survive. They must know
the evil before they can correct it.
