san FRANCISC. Nov. 29.-SaE
Francise6's waterfront still maintains
in many outward aspects its old time
picturesqueness, but its old time risks
and hazards to the sailoring man are
gone thanks to Andrew FurUseth, pres

Union.
Furuseth s "AmeIieanized merchant
ship bill of n few years ago put the
q crimp' ont Of business.
Then Mr.. Volstead 5 prohibition en-
forcement act came along and dealt
another blow by knocking out the
waterfront saloon.
The waterfront saloon was the
''crimp 5 - hangout. 1t was there that
he miXed with the seafaring men just
in from a voyage, helping them spend
their money setting up a few him

on land for a time.
When the seafaring man was suffi-

a few drops of knock out were put
in q drink by bartender and when
the victim next woke up, it was with .
terrible headache, in foul bunk, and
with ship pitching and rolling under
him.
Instead of spending a few days on
land as he had planned he found him
self mt sea bound for Singapore, or

When sufficiently recovered, he was
fed and called before the captain, who
gave him the option Of signing on as
q regular member Of the crew or being
pat to work as "a stowaway.

Broke, without clothing, and with
the prospect of the voyage, he usually
signed Oh, and was given a new outfit.

BY ANNA ADAMS GORDON
President, World 5 Women 5 Christian
Temperance Union
For 40 years the Women's 5 Christian
Temperance Union has been working
for prohibition in 10 nations
An international educational pro
gram has been conducted in practically
every civilized part of the globe Thous-
ands of workers speaking many lang
ua@es have been carrying forward the
work
All over the world we have been
imparting to peoples of all the races
the fundamental knowledge of the eff
feet of alcohol on the human system.
Discouraged and Encouraged
Difficulties and obstacles of course
have besct these w G. T. [. workers
but they have been encouraged and
cheered on by two facts:
ONE: They always have known
they We're u part of Il great organiza-
tion, that they were all banded to-
gether for one purpose, and could count
on the support and cooperation of
their fellow workers everywhere.
TWO: Almost from the beginning
we achieved some results; and with the
passing years and the extending of our
efforts into newer and larger territor-
les we have seen the work going sue
ceSsfully forward.
In recent years great strides toward
worldwide prohibition have been made.
With these advanccments many rein
forcements have joined our ranks.
Many rational thinking men and wom-
en- the world over who were not origin
ally in sympathy with prohibition have
come to see the sound scientific basis
of our objective and have joined with
us and are now lending their best eff
forts to our work.
To Continue Program
We shall carry on our program along
practically the same lines we have fol
lowed for 20 years, and we are conf
dent of 4 successful termination of our
long sought objective of worldwide
prohibition.

ROAD WORK ON. NORTHERN
 |. STRIP WEARS COMPLETION

George B. Ayers, chairman of the beard of supervisors, Anson H. Smith, chairman of the county highway com mission, and w. P. Mahoney, sheriff, went north to the Strip" last week. Sheriff Mahoney returning with his car from St. George and Messrs Ayers and Smith continuing to Short Creek and Cane Beds, where they looked over road conditions. The road from the Utah line to Short Creek is prac- tically completed, and the greater part of the way is a dandy road. The Utah people have made good road from the old Short Creek road to a connection with the mesa road which
 is to connect with the road to the Presidents Forest and Kanab, the other roads rad:ating off from this main thoroIghtare.
 While at Cane Beds they arranged for the surfacing of a section of road that will make possible access to the settlement by truck, the sand now making this impossible, or the build ing of a new section of road. As practically all travel thru that country is by wagon it is possible that for a while at least the old roads will be used. but all tourist travel is now be- ing diverted over the new road.
 Jwlng to lack of time Mount Trum- bull, Moccasin and other settlements were not visited.
 The road thru Littlefield is in good shape, although needing some rains to allow dragging and shaping up. All the grades are in fine shape, repre- senting the best work on the whole road between Las Vegas and St. George. Road Overseer Reber is get tine his crew together to finish the section near Mesquite which will bring the whole roadway onto new grade for a distance of Il miles.

s. I. ELLIOTT WINS
 HANDICAP GOLF MATCH

From field of fourteen starters Si Elliott returned the winning card Sun day in the Handicap Match at the Country Club. His card showed a very steady play and was a marked improvement over any of his previous match play scores.
 The fact that it is possible to hand leap with certain degree of accuracy in the game lends quite an amount of interest which would not be taken where there are so many beginners and such variance of play. In order that the Secretary may get line on each members play board has been installed at the first tee and all mem- bers are requested to post up their five lowest scores. As any of these five are lowered they are requested to record the new score by erasing the larger of the five and substituting the lower score.
 Plans are being laid for handicap championship if sufficient interest is shown by the members. It is hoped that the qualifying rounds will be ar- ranged for July 4th at which time the Flag Day Tournament will be pulled off.

MOHAVE COUNTY PORTION
 OF ARROWHEAD TRAIL IS
 NOT IN 4 BAD SHAPE

Los Angeles newspapers are mak-
 ing great ado about the Arrowhead
 Trail, especially since a Nash car
 made the trip from the Angel City to Salt Lake in 2612 hours. No one
 really cares how much is said for the
 route, but we do object to the state ment that the Mohave county part of
 the road is in awful shape, being the
 worst of the whole trip. This is ab- soiutely false. The section of road in Arizona between Mesquite, Nevada,
 and the Utah line is one of the best parts of the route. The road between Littlefield, Arizona, and Mesquite has been rebuilt, the heavy grades cut out and the roadway put in splendid
 shape, with the exception of about one-half mile on the south end, which is now under construction. The road, which formerly followed through the low lands of the Virgin valley, has been carried to the mesa over good grades.
 The real bad part of the whole trail is that between St. Thomas and Las Vegas, which is almost impossible. All of the route from the National Old Trails, near Kleinfelter to St. George, Utah, is over a single track road, with the exception of the road in Arizona, which has been widened so that cars may pass each other without turning out. The Las Vegas St. Thomas section is rough, rocky and chucky. An effort has been made to build new section, but even if this does become useable it will not remedy the really bad condition.
 Something ought to be done to inn prove this road. It carries a large amount of tourist travel, as we'll as heavy use, by the farming element living along it. A good highway from the Old Trails Road to Salt Lake City would bring many people into south ern Utah, where there are some of the most magnificent scenic wonders of the world. The boosters for the Old Trails are not alarmed over future popularity of that route, because there will be enough tourist travel in the next few years to glut every roadway in the country and many new roads will have to be built to carry it.
