ING OF THE NATION
Anyone who harbors the delusion
that the women of America favor by
a majority the modification of the
prohibition law to permit the sale
of light wines and beer should go on
some first-class investigation tours.
l have talked to hundreds of wo-
men in small towns and large cities;
in tenements and in middle class
homes. There is almost universal
thanksgiving among them for this
greatest of sociological booms which
has come to this country. Homes
have been rehabilitated; men and
women led up from degradation and
doom. A mental, spiritual and
literal housekeeping has already taxi
en- place among the people of this
America of ours that justifies pro-
hibition over and over again.
The women of this country want
prohibition except perhaps that
pampered strata of themI who miss
their dinner cocktail4, and they
don't count! 1t is the women who
desire clean, decent homes, oppor-
tunities for their children, and full
dinner-pails who want prohibition and
know why they want it-without
compromise,-Fannie Hurst.

Playing with matches, little Mar
garet Starr of Kenosha set her
clothes on fire and burned to death.
Little Amelia Zuzenic became a
living torch, at bonfire.
Wisconsin had "sane fourth"
but five victims are in their graves.
Two infants died from poison trying
to eat son-of-a-guns; one died as
result of fireworks explosions.
The fourteen fireworks injuries in
cluded loss of eye, loss of fingers,
severe burns and facial disfgure-
nent.
Will manufacturers and dealers in
fireworks offer the next five victims
from their family circles?
Just one item from another state:
"a fifteen year old girl was burned
to death when her dress caught fire
from one of the sparklers in five
pointed star she was carrying in a
play given by the school children.
When the school janitor attempted
to smother the flames she wrested
herself from his grasp and ran out
into the hall where 300 children were
huddled in panic. The flames were
extinguished by the school nurse
who wrapped linen. buster around
the girl. She died few days
later"
Learn from these terrible expert
ences of others, and do not wait un-
til death and injuries strikes your
family.

QUARTET OF ROBBERS
CAUGHT BY TELEPHONE
Operators Quick Wit LAMBS Bandits
in Jail within Hour of Crimc

The Arcadia (Calif) Journal tells
the following story OF, the capture
OF a band of bank robbers through
the clever work of the telephone OPP
Grating force in that town.
That the quartet now langujshins
in Jail, charged with robbery of the
Arcadia First National Bank, was
literally caught by telephone is the
consensus of opinion among those
familiar with the retails OF Wednes-
day afternoons exciting happenings.
1t was the quick wit and quick
work of Miss Palmer, head of the
local telephone exchange, aided by
Caroline Keith and Nell Brisendine
that resulted in spreading net of
information almost instantly over
the San Gabriel valley and keeping
officers advised of the direction taken
by the fleeing car.
directly across the street from the
First National. Because the driver
acted suspiciously, Miss Palmer, from
her seat at the switchboard, noted th5
make of the car and later the num-
Der. When the alarm was given she
ran out and saw the car turn east
on Huntington Drive. She immedi-
ately took her place at the switch
board and first called Monrovia tell
ing them the bandits were headed
that way.
Within eight minutes after the
robbery Miss Palmer had called the
local police, the sheriff's office, the
police departments of Monrovia, Co.
vina, Azusa, Glendora, Ell Monte, Po-
mona, Pasadena and Sierra Madre, in
each case giving information of the
kind of car, license number and num-
Der of passengers.
Receiving information that Chew
rolet had been wrecked in the wash
near Ell Monte, and that the occu-
pants of the wrecked car had aband-
oned it and were fleeing toward Los
in a Ford, Miss Palmer i'm
placed an emergency call
for the sheiff's Office and gave them
this information.

Most Exquisite PLAY EARN.

"You love flowers. l have bou-

said Louis XVI to his wife, the ia
nous Marie Antoinette. Thus was
built the most exquisite play farm
ever known. Here in wood Of 800
trees, beyond the formal gardens of
Versailles, the young queen and her
court had their own dairy and garden
and poultry, with matched Swiss
chalet to live in. Here they served
suppers the queen herself serving her

according to the court etiquette,
could allow no one even to sit in her
presence.

ships to carry our goods, he said that
in the past seven years we have paid

equal to the debt foreign counties owe
US.
Senator Chamberlain expressed the
kindliest feeling toward the British
people and said that the ties of blood
relationship ought to make impossi-
bit any war between them and the peo-
Pile of the United States, but this is
no reason why we should hesitate to
adopt plans that will insure the carry
ing of the major portion of American
commerce in American ships. I'VE do
not aspire to carry the major portion
of the commerce of the world. We do
net envy Great Britain her predim-
nance in world commerce. But we
should aspire to carry a major por-
ton Of that part of world commerce
that flows in and out of our own
pCrts." That we are in no danger of
approaching Great Britain's position
in world commerce he indicated by
saying that our effective merchant
ships have a carrying capacity only
about % per cent. of that OF the ships
that sail under the British flag.
Statistics were presented showing
the lower cost of operating ships un-
der German Japanese and other for
eign flags, and the assertion was made
that unless the United States is will
ing to retire entirely from the seas
and leave the carrying of her goods
to her competitors, this country must
either go down to the foreign stand
ard Of wages and living or must adopt
the policy of aiding our shipping by
sc me sort of subsidy. He insisted that
the policy of protection which has
been applied to our industries-agri'
culture, manufacturing, etc, must also
be extended to the merchant marine
which he asserted Is one Of the mos
important OF all.

That the most important reason for
the building and maintenance OF an
American merchant marine is related
TO tho national defense. was the first
assertion of the speaker. He recalled
the fact that during the Spanish
American war we were dependent up
on foreign transports for the carrying
OF our men and supplies across the
Pacific. and also asserted that when
President Roosevelt sent the American
fleet around the world, the battleshipe
could not have gone even as far as
