WOMEN ATTACK
VOLSTEAD ACT
New York W0men's Democratic Club De-
nOunce Law Prohibition
UndermineS Morale.

NEW YORK, Feb. Il-Elizabeth Mar
bury denounced the Nolstead act at a
meeting OF the Women ; Democratic
club at the Hotel Commodore yester-
day. Twenty-nine of the 80 women pre-
sent approved her sentiments. She said
the rich were getting everything they
wanted to drink, and the poor could not.
She called ~~ohibitiOnists figures puerile
and said drug addiction had increased
under prohibition. Her experience had
taught her that chorus girls were more
addicted to drug than drink. She
thought continual breaking of the prohi-
bition laws would undermine the morale
of young persons.
Mrs w. w. Brown of Jersey City said
prohibition was here to stay and would
be voted into effect again if the thing
were to be done over. Mrs Alice c.
Craft said she never drank before the
Nolstead act; now she took everything
offered. Mrs. George H. Childs, the
president. said She had drunk four
glasses of champagne at dance the
other night. The women decided not to
90 on record on the prohibition ques-
tiOn.

THRIFT MOVEMENT
STARTS OFF WE'LL
Over Ss5 Deposited in Automatic Tellers
in Two Days in Which They
Have Been in the Schools

Pupils and teachers alike have Joined
the new thrift movement put into opera
ton this week by the Brattleboro Trust
Co., which has placed automatic tellers
in four local school buildings, with the
result that in the two school days in
which they have been in operation
SSJ.94 was deposited and stamps were
delivered by the tellers. The Trust Co.
reported this morning that some of the
folders, in which the stamps had been
placed, already have been presented for
credit on regular savings bank book.
Collections from the tellers will be made
daily.
The largest amount removed from any
of the tellers was $1,000, which was de-
posted in the machine in the Main
street building. More than $50 of the
total deposits We're in quarters, while
SO was in dimes.
While it cannot be expected that the
same rate of savings will be maintained
through the balance of the school year,
bank officials are convinced that the
method of saving will mean much to the
pupils of the school in forming the habit
of thrift. Some of the teachers hays
adopted the idea and have opened ac-
counts, some with the idea of saving
their vacation money, some to eventually
start Christmas savings account and
some to add to the savings which they
already have established on monthly
basis as they receive their salary checks
1t also is considered a much simpler
method than the former method of penny
savings, when the teachers were obliged
To keep charge of the savings stamps.
A machine like those placed in the
schools was placed yesterday in the
plant of the S. A. Smith Mfg. Co. This
machine, however. will carry only the
five, 10 and 2J-cent stamps
Following are the amounts of stamps
in the four denominations in the differ
ent schools:
Main street-Coppers. S4.99; nickels,
$S.25; dimes, $3.50; quarters, SIPS !;
total, $4,000.

UNCLE JOE" STARTS
POLITICAL GOSSIP

State Representative Holiday Opens
Campaign Against Veteran Member
Uncle JOe'' Gives No Indication of
His Future Political Plans.

DANVILLE, H., Feb. 11.-Win Uncle
Joe Cannon make the race for congress
man from this district? This is the Ques-
ton that is admittedly troubling a num-
ber of men who openly aspire to fill the
veterans chair in the United States
house of representatives but who just as
openly announce they will not run if
Uncle" Joe intends to.
Uncle" Joe's failure to file his petition
yesterday, the first day of the filing, has
set the political gossip buzzing,
Only one man has thus far broken
these ranks. He is State Representative
William T. Holiday, who announced re-
Gently that he wOnld be candidate before
the April primaries regardless Of Uncle
Joe'S decision.
Just what Congressman Cannon's po-
litical intentions for the Immediate future
are is question. y few months ago
when it was announced in Chicago that
Uncle Joe would not again be can
didate, preparations were being made by
several to announce their candidates. when
word was received direct from Danville's
famous member of congress to the effect
that he had not authorized such an
nouncempat and that he would inform
his constituents of his intentions III good
time.
This blighted the budding hopes of local
leaders, with the single exception of Rep
resentative Holiday.
Cannons relatives and local managers
declare they have received no instructions
from him regarding the matter. In the
meantime Holiday, is canyaSsing the dis
trict and efecting an organization among
his friends.
