BRITISH SHIPPERS
 PROTEST AGAINST
 U. 5. DRY RULING


 London. Oct. 13-British shipping interests today-a4ed formal protest with the British Board of Trade against the American prohibition rul- ing forbidding ships to carry liquor from entering the three-mile zone off the American coast.
 The British government, however will await the outcome of court action in the United States before undertak- ing diplomatic intervention.
 New DerpleXities are arising in con nection with American ruling many of the foreigners embarklng upon the American Liner George Washington to return to the United States carried their own drinks with them. Large purchases of various kinds of whisktes and wines were made by Americans who said that the prohibition ruling would not be allowed to interfere with their thirst. British officials are curi- ouS to see how the American custom auth critics will deal with Americans who "carry their own."

TIA JUANA RACES ID
 COST FABULOUS SUM
James Coffroth Is to Offer. Record-Breaking Purses for Thoroughbreds.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct 13 That President James Wood Coffroth of the Tia Juana Jockey Club and we'll known sportsman, who recently offer ed Champion Jack Dempsey $1,OOO,- 900 for three fights to be staged under his direction, believes in literally re- warding merit is disclosed by a list just received here which shows fabuI- ous sums to be distributed during the coming race season at the Tia Juana, Mexico, course.
 The list of money for the eight stakes, reaching here from President Coffroth, now in New York, is some what staggering and it compares favorably with the stupendous sums offered at the biggest tracks of Amer ica. One stake-s30, 0,0O0-for the Coffroth Handicap at 1 A miles, is the richest ever given for horses of all ages. It far exceeds any purse ever before offered in Winter racing and thus acclaims the Mexican course with it's salubrious climate the real capital of thoroughbred racing when snow and ice spread over the tracks of less fortunate sections The Tia Juana tracks opens November 30 for one hundred days or more.
 This season all nomination and starting fees, in some instances as high as $150 for a horse, will be addi- tiona1 money for the horsemen, for the jockey club will not retain any of this, as has been the custom in the six

SHOOTING HABIT IS
 GROWING IN ERIN
Much Powder and Lead Wasted With Compara- lively Few Slain.
By EDNA HUBER CHURCH International News Service Staff Cor
 rcSpOudent

Dublin, Oct. 13-"Hi! hi! hi!''
 A thin, shrill voice piped this warn ing. The throngs along O'Connell street parted, and there came dashing through a sOapbOx cart. armored with old wash boilers, containing a dirty faced and grinning little urchin point ing a wooden machine gun into the air. The young warrior was entirely rI+thlesS-he splashed mud on the skirts of women, ran his 'armored car' into the heels of dignif1ed old gentlemen and altogether acted 1ike e Q militarist. No one knew whether he was a regular of an irregular, but they smiled and made way for him, and he shot through the crowds, with his "armored car" at a furious rate and also initiating the ''put-put-put'' Of machine gun.
 There was something typical of Irish youth in this begrimed little warrior. He was playing at war-imitating the things he sees about himself every day. His play was but reproduction of the work of his father and grown up brothers.
 This tiny warrior offered a fine ex- ample of one of the problems of this new Ireland. The people of Ireland have learned to shoot; they have be- come used to handling guns, and 1t has almost become a habit. Ireland must rid herself of this habit.
 There is altogether too much gun powder wasted in Ireland. Every
 
 awakens the uninitiated. One rushes for the morning paper to learn the horrible details and discovers that there was "a consid erable amount of rifle fire last night, but no casualties .''
 Little blood is spilled in compari- son to the amount of powder and lead expended, but it is a bad habit, this shooting habit.
 Nervous people find Dublin unpleas- ant, not alone because the people have the shooting habit, but because of the continuous presence of guns and re- volvers. Exploration of dark places late at night is bound to bring the ex- plorer smack up against the nose of a rifle barrel. If you arrive home at your hotel after midnight you will be greeted by a courteous youth who looks you over along the top of an army pistol.
 Ireland needs peace more than it needs anything else. and once it has peace it must cure itself of the shoot ing ha bit.
