"Give Me HeIl--I Like it,"
 Dawes Informs Committee
 Probing Conduct of War
(Continued from Page oney

I sold a lot of second hand junk to the French government for s40o, oo0,- 900. instead of keeping 10000 sold CTS there to guard it while we tried to peddle it. My conscience hurts me som etimes when I think we charged them too much"
 MT. Dawes said he was republi- can, but was broad enough to give the war department full credit for it's work in getting more men to the fire mt than France and Great Britain put there in the same period. Then he jumped upon the department and de- nounced 1t for it's refusal to permit promotion of men in the ranks-sor privates and sergeants who had the grit of generals. The rule by which men eager to go overseas, but kept at home, were required to wear silver stripes was characterized as one of the most disgraceful acts of the war.
 ASSAILS MEDAL AWARDS
 The award Of distinguished service medals came in for fiery attack. It broke more hearts, MT. Dawes said, than anything else. because thousan Is of men entitled to the medals were passed by.
 MT. Dawes said it was all right for Congress to go ahead and try to find aHu punish men WnO made mistakes in the stress of war, but told the com mittee it would get nowhere and that the public was not concerned with those mistakes now.
 And they arc trying to say that Pershing permitted the sacrifice of thousands of lives on Armistice Day. It's the most damnable lie ever ut tered. And iss all right to sit back here, viewing from a partison stand point, the work overseas when, if you people so free to condemn, had been there you might have done just as we did or worse. Liquidation?
 "Why, hell. men; we Ifquidated
 everything. There wasn't my
 wilful destruction of property in
 France, as this committee has
 tried to show. The iuuk we
 couldn't sell was given awny-it
 was cheaper than burning or burying it.. They pinned one of those medals on me, but it had n damned sight better gone to .ome poor devil in the ranks who better deserved it..
 Judge w. B. Parker, who had much to do with the liquidation lob in France and who was described by MT, Dawes as "a hard boiled egg" as an army trader, will be heard tomorrow by the committee.

Hard to Be a MAGICIAN.

is more difficult for magician
to bring his audience into a re-
sponsive mood than it is for AN ora

BY the very nature of the case,
the magician challenges his audience
TO detect how he does it. They are
no,n a. hrst' but if he succeeds in
mHsufying them. they surrender
completely and give him generous
applause
The magician must be cool and
calculating. under all circumstances.
While he is executing the trick in
nand ne must be thinking of the
Trick to follow. All the time he must
be misdirecting the minds and vision
or the audience by subtle conversa-
ton.
Furthermore, he must keep in
mind the movements of his assistants
ViVisection. the Illusion in which
he apparently saws a beautiful Young
woman IN two. requires the co-opera-
tion OF three assistants, each receiv-
ing ms cue from tn. magician. The
slightest error can ruin the result
1T means endless care to create
and produce the program for each
performance. Every trick. every il
fusion, must work to perfection.
Everything has to be as accurate as
the working of clock
Il have large studio in Beech
hurst, l.. l., where everything ] use
is made. First 1 draw the plans,
and then We construct the working
model. Everything is tested on a
small stage. 1t is necessary to have
the right wood. the right screws and
the right nails. Back of all. there
is constant toll and considerable eX-
pense, for the magician must bring
forth something new each season.

Phohis Plan
To Plug Up
Law Leaks
Congress To Be Asked
To Strengthen Weak
Spots In Enforce
ment Statute
By David M. Church.

Washington, May 26. - Sahara
will be a glistening lake compared
to the United States, if the plans
Of the prohibitionists meet with
the approval of congress.
The dry" forces, .unsatisfied
with the effects of the Volstead
law, are mapping out vigorous
campaign to be conducted in the
present congress in an effort to
stop up the leaks in the dry law
dixie.
Prohibitionists are certain that
the present congress is just as
"dry" as was the last and they
are hopeful that their campaign
will meet with success, although
they realize that with" elections
two years distant, pressure can
not be as easily applied to this
congress as to the last.
The first step in the campaign
to put the lid on intoxicants has
been taken by Representative Vol
stead in introducing bill to pre-
vent the use of beer and wine as
medicines. Only the future can
determine the fortunes of this bill,
but the "drys" are watching its
course with great eagerness, to de-
termine the sentiment Of the
present congress.
Other planks in the dry" plat
form which will be presented to
congress, are set forth as follows:
congress shall cut off i'm
portation of liquors for at least
five years.
2-The further manufacture OF
whiskey shall be prohibited until
the present stock is down to very
small reserve basis.
3-The present stock of liquors
shall be concentrated by giving the
commissioner power to move liq-
uors when such action will con-
duce the enforcement of the pro-
hibition law.
4:The total prohibitive tax
shall be assessed against offend
ers for each offense.
5-Only alcohol, not liquors OF
wines, shall be allowed to be used
as base for medicines"
6-Alcohol to be used for legiti-
mate purposes, such as the manu-
facture of toilet commodities, shall
be denatured at the place of orig
inal manufacture. 8
THE employees of the enforce
ment organization shall be placed
under civil service.
S-If the prophibition enforce
ment department is transferred te
the department of justice, careful
distinction shall be made between
those parts OF the law which in
volve criminal Investigations ant
prosecution and such sections as
provide for the prohfbitive tax, the
power to establish chemical stand
ards, etc, which features shall bt
left to the control of the commits
sioner of internal revenue.
9-United States commissioners
shall be given power to try misoe'
meanor offenses against the pro
hibition law.

enterprise of thirsty and resource
full Americans. then the dry

Well Presented by
S. H. S. Society; Paul

II is to be regretted. that II is
ever the custom of newspapers to
write in a laudatory manner their

auctions. It is unfortunate that
their stories almost invariably are
of kindly, bouquet-tossingA aa-
ture. For, in consequence there
of, those persons who failed 10
witness "The Importance of Being
Earnest" at the Salem high school

impression that the favorable cora

result OF a pardonable tendency to
avoid being too veracious.
Not SO. This is to be nothing
but the truth. II Paul Staley had
stumbled over his left foot and
thereby ruined love scene, that
fact would be mentioned. But Paul
didn't. II he did any stumbling
verbal or otherwise, it wasn't no
ticeable from the eighth row. And
Paul might have been pardoned
even IL he had stumbled. The

ing Miss Ruth Griffith might have
been forgiven had he forgotten all

miisnt be able to employ an album

will have to suffice here. Evans
Jones was good, Milton Steiner

Nellie Rowland's conception of her
part was praiseworthy. And any
body who failed to make mention
Of the excellent work OF MISS
Letha Wilson should be taken out
and shot, or be made to answer all
of Edison's questions. The stage
appeared to be Miss wilson's nat
ural habitat.
Nothing short of a separate
paragraph could be given to Miss
Marie Churchill, coach, through
whose efforts the production he
came what 1t was. 1t is seldom
that an amateur group, such al
the Snikpoh society, attempts any
thing SO difficult as the play pre-

Who found Juneau? Richard Har- ris and Joe Juneau. Do you know where they are buried? There are only a few of us that know that they rest in the local cemetery.
 The class in Alaskaa History has decided that when the snow is gone and the weather clears up. sto 30 out to the graves and fix them u2. A suitable slab with an sAppfopriate inscription should mark the last resting place of these sturdy pion eers, something that will ibe'a credit to Juneau, a rlace where the tourists can go.
