Nine Millions to
 Enforce ''Dry" Act

Washington. Sept. 25-Prohibi-N ton Commissioner Haynes will seek an appropriation of $9,125,- GOO for the enforcement of the federal dry laws during the next fiscal year, it is sad at the treas ury.
 Estimates prepared for the budget bureau carry this amount, which is approximately the same sum authorized by Congress for this purpose during the current fiscal year.
 Mir Haynes was declared to take the view that while a larger sum could be utilized in suppress ing the liquor traffic, the equivaI- eIlt of the amount now being cx- pended would enable the prohibit tion unit to carry on all the ac- tiyfties now in force, including the dry navy, which is to be ex- pended to enable federal agents to take advantage of the provis- ions of the tariff act of 1922 per- mftting search of vessels within 12 miles from shore.

It was said today that the audit will take three weeks. The report of the auditors will be gone over carefully by Mayor Atwater and City Attorney Cornell
 City Attorney Cornell is confident that the audit will disclose that the conpany's financial standing is sound and that if a defciC is shown the com pany's profits in it's several profitable years past will be enough to tide the company over until times are better and water consumption is greater.

 F'ords profits for the calendar year 1921 were $76,000,00O. This is the high peak of his career up to that time.

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 25-In letter to the Board of School Directors the teachers of Mil waukee protest against the short ening of the school year in that city to 1SO days. They proclaim that a school year of apprOxi- InateIy ten months best serves the needs of the people.
 In a recent statement the super intendent pointed out that one days schooling is worth $1O to each child.
