TEMPERANCE LESSONS FROM THE RED SEA
Edgar M. Wilson, Shahupuri, Kohapur, India,
American Issue correspondent.

Frenchmen will find little difficulty
in supplying moral to this tale.
Englishmen perhaps might. They
will not however miss the moral of
the second.
One day we passed a low island
with lighthouse on it. 1t was a
ledge of rock rising only few feet
above the sea. AS we were passing
someone recalled the fact that some
years ago an English ship, belonging
to the same line as the one on which
we were travelling, on her first voyage
out climbed up on these rocks in broad
daylight. Such surprising occurrence
made me thirst for more information,
so l sought the Captain and asked
him how it happened. But no in
formation did | get. There was a
far-off look in his eye as he said that
evidently there was "some gross care
lessness." This was sufficiently obvious
though not very satisfactory, so /
hunted up one of the Goanese stew
ards and asked him. His command Of
English was very limited, but his re-
ply left little to be said: Captain
asleep. First mate drunk"

While running up the Red Sea
came across two temperance lessons.
The first was at Perrin. Perrin, as
many OF you doubtless know, is the
little island that almost blocks the
southern end of the Red Sea. In the
old days, before the opening of the
Suez Canal poured the worlds COM
merce into the Red Sea, Perrin, the
barren, was no-man's land. Finally
the French government with an eye
to the future decided secretly to hoist
their flag there. A warship was sent
out for the purpose. On the way il
stopped at the British port of Alden,
only a short distance from Perrin.
The British officers entertained the
French at dinner. Liquor was served
One of the French officers drank too
much and in burst of confidence re-
vealed to a British officer that he was
bound for Perrin. Next morning they
said goodbye to their hosts and
sailed away. When they reached
Perrin they found the British flag had
been flying for some hours. 1t has
been there ever since.

nc the world liquor interests shall be
encouraged to use the economic
weapon of many liquor nations against
stronger governments in order to stay
the progress of Prohibition as a gov
ernmental policy? How long would it
be before such pressure would affect
America? If the liquor forces of the
nations of the earth, united and or
ganized. can succeed in overriding the
will of the people in any country, small
or great, self determination in every
country is jeopardized. The violation
OF the rights of any nation threatens
orderly government i'll every nation.

Railroad Prohibition

A few years ago, comparatively
speaking, it was not unusual for news
papers to ascribe railroad wrecks to
drunken engineers" Railroad lines
in America have increased i'll fifty
years from $4,000 miles to 100000
miles. Railroad development OF every
character has gone forward in Amer
lea until today twenty billions of dol
lars are invested and two million men
are employed at an annual compensa-
ton of three billion dollars. These
railroads carry annually more than
two thousand million tons of freight
and more than one thousand million
passengers. Yet with 10000 railroad
locomotives being driven on all lines
throughout America, how many
wrecks are today charged to drunken
engineers, or drunken train dispatch
ers? American railroads will not EN-
ploy an engineer who uses intoxicants
either on or off duty. This imperative
railroad law carries far greater de-
gree of punishment than any local,
state of national prohibitory law.
Even the liquor interests in America
have long since ceased to defend the
personal liberty of railroad engineers
to drink intoXicants.
When American railroads modify
their rules which have stood for a
quarter of century, so as to permit
engineers, train dispatchers, and tele-
graph operators to use light wine and
beer, the American Congress will
doubtless be ready seriously to con-
slider the advisability of modifying the
federal prohibitory law.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Aug 5.-Further
assistance has been asked from the

ton In q letter from Gilbert A. Roe,
attorney for the Senate Committee on
Manufactures to C. A. vane. gem

Gently the dealer association laid be-
fore the COMMITTEES, data showing aver
age prices for twelve months In
twenty-eight cities selected at random
throughout the country and In which
wide discrepancy existed as TO re-
tail gasoline prices
!. Counsel Roe OF the Senate Commit
tee has now asked the dealer asso-
citation to provide him with similar
Information for the same cities for
the year 1920 and the FIRST half OF
1921 which. with the information al
ready supplied by the N. A. D. A..
will give a check on prices for virtual
ly the last three years. His letter
follows:
Your favor of the 14th inst, sd-
dressed TO Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette. chairman OF the Manufac-
lures Committee conducting the oil
investigation, has been handed to me
as attorney for, the committee.
The information contained in
your letter and tabulation annexed
Is OF great interest and will be of
assistance TO the committee.
THE Senate resolution directing the
investigation requires the committee
to inquire into prices for the year 1890
as well as 1921 and 1899. II you could

sistance and cooperation which you
are extending. and hopes that you will
gather and send on the further data
cuggested. little later when the
investigation reaches the point where
witnesses are called. we hope that
your association will be represented
at the hearings"
Since charges were made by the n.
A. ID. A. to the Senate Committee
and to the Federal Trade Committee
that gasoline prices had been
"1uggled' there has been a general
reduction in gasoline prices of about
cents a gallon for practically the
whole country. Considering this as
countrywide influence this means
that saving has been effected for
motorists amounting to substantially
$75,0o0000. Motor clubs throughout
the country have quite literally credit
ed the saving to the n. A. d. A. cam
paign.
General Manager Vane has offered
the entire facilities OF the dealer or
ganization to the Senate Committee
investigating the gas price situation
and has advised Counsel Roe tha;
when hearings are begain the n. A.

that will offer additional evidence that
an understanding exists In the oil
trade amounting practically to a COM
bine to elevate the cost Of motor fuel.

No Reductions Are
In Sight.

Persistent rumors that the price
of the Rickenbacker Six would 2e
Increased August / were completely
dispelled by a statement issued at
the conclusion Of a meeting of a
board of directors Of the company.
The rapid and ready acceptance
of the Rickenbacker product by the
buying public which induced a
larger production of the models
than was even anticipated by corn-
any officials was given as the rea-
son for maintaining the price.
when the car was unveiled to
the public and the price announce
ment made at the National Auto
mobile Show last January promi-
nent contemporary executives said
it was impossible to build the Rick
enbacker Six at its listed price"
said President B F. Everitt, of the
throughout the country has ac-
cepted the automobile with such un-
precedented confidence 1t has been
possible to greatly increase the
production Of cars in our factory
and thus instead of adding to our
price in the face of a raising mar
ket for materials 1t is our good
fortune to be able to announce in
reality reduction by maintaining
our price"
Organization builds success"
one of the slogans of the Ricken-
hacker Company built on a f,unda-
tion of seasoned executives whose
experience dates back to the pioneer
days of the automobile is again as
serting itself. The announcement
of price is another victory for this
organization which has repeatedly
startled the automotive industry
with its successes in recent months.
