The High School Exhibit
(By Lois Snyder)

N'y ASSsc
The high school exhibit OF THIS
year proved to be much larger and
better than in former years. This
is due to the new Radio class and
much larger classes In English and
Mechanical Drawing.
The laboratory was turned over to
the Radio class, the walls being cov-
cred with drawings and note book
work. The table was covered with
magazines containing all kinds Of
diagrams and also explanations. The
electrical equipment was also on dis.
play.
The high school room was used to
display the three courses of English
and the Mechanical Drawing work.
There was enough to make three rows
around the room. The Mechanical
Drawing was. exceptionally good and
contained some very complicated
work.

Enforcement.

JOHNSTOWN. Pa, Aug. 19.-The
Johnstown oasis was only a mirage
and tonight Mayor Joseph Cauffiel
said he was satisfied with the "ac-
ton" which followed his edict 10
saloon keepers and brewers that they
could make and sell real beer.
The mayor was dissatisfied with
the dry enforcement machinery and
last night he issued his order and
promised not 20 prosecute any dis
penser Of pure beer. He said II was
his idea TO rid the town Of bootleg
gers and sellers OF poisonous liquors.
The action" which the mayor
tonight said pleased him was the
arrival Of additional dry agents and
the dismissal Of o. r. Stiffier, chief
federal prohibition agent in this dis
trict. Agent f. A. Sprague was plac-
ed in temporary charge.
JohnstOwn's saloons. as a whole.
failed TO offer their patrons beer of
illegal alcoholic content But some
took advantage Of the offer for a
short time and did a rushing bushes.
Efforts to close saloons through
ponce power the mayor Sd4u ~
night. were not very effective. so ]
decided something drastic was neces-
sary Next week there viii be a
thousand men in JohnstOwn attend
ing a convention and with the trash
that they sell in the saloons here one
third Of them would 60 home poison
>ed Yes. I got action"
The mayors manifesto which &C
companied the opening of the saloons
here and caused a brief but genuine
stir in government and dry circles
was as follows:
Owing 10 the dangerous coHdi-
ton Of the water supply Of Johns
town. every person who complies
with the law can sell real beer. not
near beer. but real beer and ale.
AS long as they don't sell moon
shine or any other adulterated bev-
erage they won't be molested by me.
The hotel men have agreed 70
give their assistance in running
down all the bootleggers and moon
sinners in the district
Il don't see how the federal au-
thorities can interfere with the
breweries in this district # they try
to give the public real beer when
our water supply is in such bad con-
dition.'
