"a great sphere 5000 miles in diameter.
$4,000 miles in circumference. A single
drop of water us big as the world itself.
Now imagine this great globe composed
entirely Of ordinary oranges, crowded as
closely together as il packed in a crate.
Imagine all the oceans filled with oranges
all the great mountain ranges of the
world composed entirely of piles OF Or
anges. Already the number of oranges
runs into billions. Yet the oceans and
mountain ranges are mere thin film on
the earth's surface. Imagine, il you c1n,
the whole solid earth, from the grassy sod
to its centre. one solid mass of or
anges. Mathematics has no figures by
which to approximate the exact number.
1t runs into billions of billions. Now for
the point to this illustration. All scientists
are agreed that there are as many atoms
i'll drop of water as there would he o.
anges in globe the size Of the world.
And by the latest discovery of science,
each or these billions of atoms is tiny
solar system In itself and n reservoir OF
terrific electrical energy.
Billions upon billions of tiny universes
being crashed to chaos!
That's what VIII happen TO drop of

This tremendous force is called inter

Sir Ernest Rutherford, of England:

scores Of other authorities are agreed that
the power is there. The problem is to

DRY LEAGUE BEGINS
FRESH WAR ON VETS
ANTI-SALOON FORCES TO RE-
DOUBLE EFFORT TO PRE-
VENT BEER AMENDMENT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The Anti
Saloon League of America has deter
mined to do everything proper and
lawful" that may be necessary to pre-
vent any encroachment through the
coming primaries and election on the
prohibition status. This was determin-
ed here today at meeting OF the ex-
ecutive committee of the league.
The committee, by unanimous &C
ton adopted a resolution against any
beer amendment and made plans to
take whatever legal and political &C
ton might be necessary to prevent
notification of the 18th amendment
''The program of the Anti-Saloon
League" read the resolutions, as the
agency OF a large majority OF the
churches and the accepted, active ex-
ponent OF most OF the law abiding cit
izens, lis to see that the prohibition
policy adopted by the nation by I'M
nrecedented margin has fair chance
20 prove its merits. Honest, effective
enforcement is essential to such test
and the securing and retention OF ade-
ouate legislation is fundamental to en-
forecmcnt Recognition OF this ex-
plains the attempt of the liquor inter
ests to nullify the prohibition amend
ment by hamstringing enforcement
through attempted legalization by
congress OF beer, which is prohibited
by the constitution.
Therefore, the Anti-Saloon League
of America announces its purpose,
without apology to any nullihcationist,
to do anything and everything proper
and lawful that is necessary to defeat
the conspiracy of a criminal and out
lawed traffic against the integrity OF
the constitution and the orderly admin
istration OF law and asks the contin-
ued and increasing support of all citi-
zens who stand for a sound morality
and a vital patriotism"

10000 HOMELESS In
MISSISSIPPI FLOOD
RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES IN
UNDATE VAST TERRITORY
IN SOUTHERN STATES.

At least 10000 men, women and
children are homeless in Mississippi
and Louisiana as the result of the Mis-
sissippi river flood. OF this number
10000 are being fed, sheltered and
clothed by the Red Cross and other
organizations, it has been officially an
nounced by various relief bodies. The
remaining 10000 did not reach the
refugee camps and could not be aided
in this way.
The number of people needing as
sistance is increasing rapidly as the
waters of the Mississippi river and its
swollen tributaries spread over vast
sections. A case of typhus in one OF
the large refugee camps in Harrison
burg, La, has complicated matters
there.
Hunted Sufferers in Boat.
A large pleasure boat was pressed
into service at Pointe la Hache, south
of New Orleans, to go down the river
in search of flood sufferers in that sec
ton A large number of those made
homeless by the flood were cared for
at a Red Cross camp at Jackson bar
racks, in New Orleans.
Harry D. Wilson,, state commissioner
of agriculture, said 100000 acres of
growing cotton had been destroyed
there, with a loss estimated at more
than $1,000000. Relief measures stead
lily grew more complicated as the food
waters extended far from the crevass-
es and spillways.
Congress Investigating.
The Congressional party which in
spected flood conditions was carried
on the Mississippi river commissions
steamer Mississippi from Natchez,
Miss, to Baton Rouge, La, the trip
ending at New Orleans. Many of the
members expressed sympathy with the
proposed placing of all levee mainten-
ance under federal control.
Senator Ransdell and Representa-
tives Wilson and Martin, of Louisiana,
members of the congressional delega-
ton, announced during the inspection
that the amount needed to complete
the levee system under the jurisdiction
of the Mississippi river commission
had been estimated at $26667 900.
