osed wholly or in part for two months
because of the strike of textile opcr-
atives. Troops which have been guard
ing the Jenokes Spinning Company's

detail of special deputies sent at
the request of the mill management
Mass picketing there was ordered

The extra police it is said, have been
called to put an end to it.

United Textile Workers has urged the

morrow. lie said several mills so far
inactive would try to reopen. Strike
leaders in the Pawtuxet Valley also
have appealed to the strikers to picket
IN force tomorrow morning.
The strike entered to-day on its
ninth week, with the deadlock between
mill owners and striking operatives
virtually unchanged. More than TWEEN
ty cotton manufacturing and finishing
plants remain closed, half a dozen
others are crippled, and almost 10000
workers arc idle

tors, more as political protest than to

anJ one who states that he is i'll or even
that he has friend who is ILL., The
standard prescription enables the re-
clplent to obtain from any chemists
shop one liter (about IN pints) of
brandy; and as rule the prescription
VIII be repeated weekly
Many chemists have had to make
special extensions for this side of
their business, and in places whore
large numbers of workmcn have con-
centrated-as for the construction of
waterwork-local doctors have become
rich at quite unusual speed
SO much for the legal method For
the less scrupulous there are several
much cheaper methods of obtaining
splrts. and they are sufficiently prac-
tlced to make drunkenness of the most
thorough sort extremely common.
Much German commercial spirit
which contains 96 per cent of alcohol
is smuggled by motor boats from ships
lying outside the tcn-mile limit. 1t is
spoken and written of fam,uarly as
"95, but is in most cases drank with
water and sugar or mixed with coffee
more easily obtainab ble-and yet
more polsonous-spirt is known as
"homeburnt," or more commonly "H B."
1t is concocted by the simple and easv
process of distilling sugar that has
been fermented with yeast. The after
effects of this potent and horrible
drink are such that the number of men
capable of working on Monday morning
is on occasions very considerably re-
duced
Most of this "HB" is brewed on the
smaller farms. where detection is more
difficult; but as the fine for making it
is only about $50, and good distifler
can make this profit in a few days, it
does but little to check it.
My experience does not extend to the
period before prohibition; but if things
were worse then, they must have been
very bad indeed Though the official
figures show some reduction in drunk
enness, this appears to be largely due
at least in my eXperience-to the
number of drunkards who are not ar
rested.

Mayor Hylan, urging an early

The United States Supreme Court
decisions, as you know, are not based
on the present prices for materials
from which gas is made. but on the
prices prevailing in 1918 and 1910
practically all these materials, particu-
iarly coal and gas oil, have dropped in
price tremendously. They are supplied
by rockefeller companies to gas com
panles whom the Rockefellers control,

"Fhe United States Supreme Court
oteclslons are based on cxorbitant prices
charged in 1918 and 1919 by the r locke
teller oil companies and Rockefeller
coal companies to the Rockefeller gas
companies in New York CITY. but the
pressure of general economic condj-
tlons has forced even these prices TO
tall to the levels, which approximate
the conditions that prevailed when even
the United States Supreme Court held
the 80-cent gas law furnished compen-
satlon to the companies
lhe United States Supreme Court
decisions now make the Public Service
Commission the arbiter of gas rates in
this city. 1t is we'll for the people to have
clearly III mind that the commission
has had devolved up it this power at a
time when the values of materials 60
ing into the making of gas are on prac-
tlcally the pre-war basis, which hereto
fore was judiciously held to sustain the
S0-cent gas rate. This fact will furnish
to the people the standard by which to
pass judgment on the action Of the
Public Service Commission on the
ubiect OF gas rates.

Eight Major Recommendations

recommendations

change to the prior month, and annex
copy of the proposed bin for that
purpose.
',Restoraton Of tho 'pay-as-you-go'

the earliest day practicable and of the
sinking fund commission. Care of the
funds to be vested in the Comptroller
Repeal of the general fund bond

sinking fund receipts to the payment
of interest and reduction of the city

ton of funds received from income

basis to provide for new debt.

been anticipated by treating such Sc

publlc such securities would have to
be met by taxation. Taxation has
been increased by the simple process
OF taking funds properly applicable to
debt service on which there is no con-
stitutional limit for administration ex-
penses in addition to tax exhaust

"A sinking fund is defined as "A

vlding against contingencies These
SINKING funds answer neither purpose
of the definition. On the contrary
they promote the increase of debt and

ANN ARBOR, Mich, March 19--
Establishment of boys preparatory
school at Auburn. N. Y. to be known
as the Osborne School, was announced
to-day by Thomas Mott Osborne, au-
thor and pcnologist. The policies of
the school, according to the plans, will
be formulated by the boy~ themselves,
who will be allowed the fullest possible
control. This is in accordance with
the opinion often expressed by the
former warden of Sing Sing, that the
institutions of learning in America do
not train for responsibility, and espe-
clnlly the esponsibility of citizenship.
The institution will be located at
the present home of the prison re

"No crime has ever been committed; /;

nowhere at any time have they ever
been associated with anything but
peace and good will. 1t is the only
food that strangers forever unknown
to each other divide and enjoy. Where
ever civilization reaches, the bag of
peanuts is the universal emblem of
peace, brotherly love and friendship.
No man can travel so far in time or
distance but that one Whit of parching
peanuts will not take him back to home
and mother, childhood, circus days and
sweethearts, and nothing else for that
instant Of time can draw veil over
things he dares not remember, yet
wouldn't for the world forget.
mo circus, no wild west show, no

now realizes his big mistake when he
hit the deep blue sea with his peace
ship. If he had loaded it down with
hot goobers, right then the war would
have ended. And later, when our boys
landed. letters came pouring back by
the thousands begging piteously-for

followed receipt Of letter purporting
to have been written by Sands. The
writer stated he was in Los Angeles,
was not guilty of the murder OF Taylor
but could name the murderer and solve
the mystery of the Staying. He inquir-

he surrendered and proved innocence or
the Staying. He asked that the district
attorney publish his reply 'in any OF
