new NAVY AlRSHiP PLANS
APPROVED BY ENGINEERS
ZR-1, Modelled After German Zep-
pelin, Probably Will Be Com
pletad by July /.

Approval Of all elements of design
ana construction of the airship FRI,
being assembled at Lakehurst. N. j..
for the use of the Navy, has been
given by a group Of engineers and
experts appointed by the national ad-
visory committee for aeronautics.
Tests were made at the request of the
Navy Department, which expects the
work Of assembly to be completed in
about seven months.
Announcing thot 'ts examiners had
failed to find any IL. d. roecifica-
tions for the Fri or in lne materials
used, the advisory committee said it
was certain the new airship would
prove "measurably stronger" than
the ZR-2, which met with disaster in
England with heavy loss of life
Specifications for the ZR-1 call for
a rigid craft $50 feet long and IS feet
in diameter. built of duralim trusses
and girders. There will be twenty
separate gas bags with total ca
pacity of 2,155.200 cubic feet, covered
by a single envelope. Six separate
cars will be suspended from her keel,
each carrying a 300-horsepower en-
gine. The fundamental design was
based on the German Zeppelin Lag.
Although the airship probably will
be structural1y complete by July ],
tests and experiments to be conducted
will prevent her, it was said, from
making flights for some time there

IMMIGRATION LAW
!: !: !" REVISION ' OPPOSED
Secretary Davis Regrets
} Nationwide Trend to
Let Down Bars.

Returning to Washington after a trip
months. Secretary of Labor Davis said
today he had found constant agitation
which apparently seeks to let down all
Of the bars erected against immigration.
Much Of this agitation. he said, Is based
upon a complete Misrepresentation Of
the provisions and effects Of the pres
ent 3 per cent law. Mr.. Davis added
that he was not at all impressed by
the widespread agitation against the
law.
"The argument is everywhere put
forward" Secretary Davis said. that
because we have reached point of
Industrial prosperity in the United
States. after one of the greatest de-
pressions we have ever known, we
must open wide our gates to European
immigration to provide labor for our
industries. am convinced that a
great many uniformed or misled en-
ployers are using this argument. 1t Is
entirely fallacious for several rea-
sons.

There is an impression that the
ao-called 3 per cent law has operated
to arbitrarily limit our immigration
ITOIH all European cOuHtEles. A>olH-
ing could be further from the truth.
Those who are now clamoring against
the law forget or utterly disregard

years if they hal sought admission.

in effect. workinen for our Industries.

Figures Made Public.
Secretary Davis made public figures
from the latter countries showing
that none of them provided immi

mating the entire number admissible

THANKS
VOTERS FOR SUPPORT
IN agl6lNAL LETTER

Hon. ]. d. Woodruff Of Shoshoni,
who was recently honored by being
elected to the state legislature by the
largest vote given to any candidate for
that position on either ticket, has his
own way of saying things. His
letter of thanks to the voters of FREE
mont county was characteristic and is
being widely copied.
THE usual custom, after a candi-
date has gone all the way through the
griefs. hardships, uncertainties and
humiliations of the hard fought politi-
cal campaign and finally comes out vic
torious, is to forget his promises, and
his friends, and tell them all o go to
hell; that he earned all he got. and is
under no obligation to any one. His
head swells up, and he imagines he is
the big chief. but as l amprone to
appreciate the good things that come
my way in this life, I will deviate
from the general rule and thank my
many friends of Shoshopi, and of
Fremont County for the splendid sup
port they gave me in the late cleo
ton.

Harry Payne Whitney are nearing

thousand dollars.

be a great undertaking but Mrs. Allen
believes it can be accomplished with
proper publicity and the cooperation of
the Boy Scouts, Camp Fire girls and
all person interested in providing a
suitable memorial for the Colonel.
The model is to be on exhibition at

SEASON ON
MOUNTAIN SHEEP
LIKELY NEXT YEAR
Present Rate of Killing Will
Soon Exterminate This High
ly Priced Game Animal,
Is Opinion

Lander.-Bruce Nowlin, State Game
and Fish Commissioner, has sent re-
quests to the forest supervisors of
the state and the deputy game war
dens, asking for a report from each
of theten game districts in the ssa Q
concerning the number of game AM
mails in each county.
This survey is being made to de-
termine the increase OF decrease OF
elk, mountain sheep, deer, bear, moose
and antelope and will be a factor in
determining the formation OF the
open season laws and the application
of needed protection on animals which
show a rapid decrease, endangertng
their extinction.
There have been several limitations
that mountain sheep will be placed
under complete protection next year,
and for a period of years to stem the
inevitable extinction of the animal at
the present rate Of killing every
year by the hunters, although there
has been no authentic word to this
effect.
Moose and antelope are now pro
tected by closed game laws and are
slowly increasing under their protec'
ton.
AS regards bear. many people are
under the impression that
they can be killed at any time under
any circumstances. The season on
wear is from September 18th to No
yember Both, inclusive and there Is
no bag limit on this animal. Out
side of these dates no bear may be
killed lawfully unless there is abso
Iute Evidence OF stock killing or prop
! erty destruction.

throughout the country.
Twelve known cancer facts gather.
ed by an eminent physician are as
follows:
/. If an early lancer is completely
removed, 1t will not return.
2. There is a time when every can
Ger a be cured, for 1t exists in what
is known to scientific men as pre-
cancer
8. Cancer is first a lump or sore
that can be felt with the fingers or
seen with the eye. or gives certain de-
finate warnings.- If we knew how to
interpret these warnings, cancer
could be cured.
4. Nine cases out Of ten do not
cause pain In the early stages. This
is unfortunate.
8. Cancer startes al the result OF
long continued irritation. II irrita-
ton is removed, cancer will not de
velop.
6. Cancer develops at the edge Of a
scar-where the scar and normal It's
sue meet. If the scar is removed, the
cancer will not develop.
z. Certain definite symptoms pre-
cede every cancer. just as surely as
wind clouds precede the rain storm
The time is coming when these symp-
toms will be needed.
s. One hundred thousand people In
the Un.ted States are annually affict-
ed with some form OF lancer. This
is on the authority of the Public Heal
tn service.
o. One woman in every eight, who

men die with cancer between thirty
five and forty-fve years of age. From
that time on, the ratio is more near

years of age who is not sure about a
lump, sore or unnatural discharge
should consult a physician and demand
a thorough examination. II the first
doctor consulted cannot give a ration

II. Procastination has caused the
loss of many valuable lives.

he has a sure cure for cancer Is a
fraud. There is no such thing as a

CmONF|sCATED BOOZE
FINALLY DESTROYED
BY SHER|FF'S OFFICE
Kind That Age Does Not I'm
prove, Says Uncle Joha Myers
Who Witnessed the Trag-
edy at Court House

An odor which made all the booze.
hounds prick up their ears and look at
each other inquiringly was waited
down Main street from the court
house on Thursday when the conis-
Gated liquor stored in the vault was
finally destroyed in the presence of
Judge Metz and other witnesses to
the tragedy.
1t was In kegs, jugs and bottles, of
many brands and v~intages, all repre-
senting the hopes of Woodworking, In
d%ustrious boot-leggers whose plans
had missed fire somehow. Some of il
seemed to be over-ripe, according to
Uncle John Meyers who turned pal
when he tried to tell the Enterprise
reporter what the home product smell
ed like after standing several months,
while other exhibits were OF an ex-
plosive nature, going off with a pop,
or kissing in a fashion not common
to hard liquor of first quality.
The kegs and jugs were smashed
with an ak between the jail and the
courthouse and the bottles broken
against the building as they were
checked off. The contents formed a
lake which, while not deep enough to
swim in, would have been ankle deep
to wade in, according to Uncle john
who further stated that he had no de-
sire to do so on account of the afore-
said odor.
The tally was correct, Of course, as
was to be expected; not a single bot
tie, or drop, was missing, so those who
believed that T. P. Cullen furnished
the Canadian whiskey with which the
Federal prohibition officer put on his
party can see how wrong they were!

and that its Importance in America
would be decreased in direct ratio to
the mitigation Of stringent dry laws.
William E. Sweet, governor-elect of
Colorado. has reached similar conclu-
sions regarding the change of public
sentiment and the impossibility of en-
forcing the present prohibition law.
In a speech before the Denver Opti-
mists Club last Thursday, he conced-
ed the possibility of the modification
of the Volstead act in order to render
1t enforceable and to eliminate from it
the many evils which he admitted had
grown out of it.

In reply to the Presidents letters,
the conclusion of observers and astute
politicians all over the country as to
the shifting of the public mind with
reference to prohibition, Wayne B.
Wheeler, generalissimo of the Anti
Saloon League. promptly yells back.
"Tain't SOL" and declares that Ameri-
ca is yearning for prohibition stronger
han ever-which makes us think
what a formidable army would be
turned loose on the country If all T
high salaried commissioners and of
fees, and agents. and stool-pigeons,
and what not engaged in shopping,
spying and framing up, should sudden
ly find themselves jobless.
