About 20 years ago an italian engi-
neer made a boat of artificial stone,
or cement, which excited much inter-
est. 1t was an excellent boat and is
yet in use. The framework of light
iron rods was covered with a metal
lie trellis and then coats of cement
were applied inside and out to form
the hull. 1t proved surprisingly re-
sistant to shocks. Since then the
same engineer has constructed many
more "stone" boats Of various forms,
and among them a barge about 81
feet long and between II and Is feet
broad, which for some years has been
employed for carrying coal in the
harbor Of Genoa. He also makes
pontoons of the same material, which
have been used to replace wooden
pontoons on the Pc. The material
lasts better even than iron and n not
attacked by sea water.

lea for one hundred and forty years.
Forty -nine-fiftieths of all the prop
erty that was engaged in the manu-
facture and sale of liquor is now used
for other purposes. Nineteen-tweu-
tieths of all the people who used 20
be engaged in the selling of Liquor
are now employed in other trades.
We hear more about one bootleggcr
with a single bottle Of whisky in
his pocket than we used to hear of
hundreds of wide-open saloons plying
their trade night and day and all thru
Sunday in violation Of law. The rea-
son is that we have made the sale
of liquor news. I saw this illustrated
in my own experience a little over a
year ago in Portland, Oregon.
l was going down Morrison Street
and just out in front of the postoffice
| saw a crowd collecting. Some peo-
pie are too dignified to follow crowd
but | like to be where something is
going on. Arriving in the throng,
there were three hundred people
gathered around Ford. A federal
officer was on one side and a police
man on the other. The policeman
took the man by the arm, got half
consumed whisky bottle out Of his
pocket, opened his satchel and found
two more bottles unopened, while the
Federal officer was getting in on the
. other side and asking someone to
rank the car for him so he could
AXE it around for confscation.
As the officer displayed the two
bottles and half, he made by the
haul" a shyster lawyer of the town
who always hangs around Police
Courts to take the disreputable cases,
remarked, well, this is what I have
always said. | have said it a thous-
and times Prohibition don't prohibit
Just look at this, right here on the
streets Of Portland in broad day
light"
I stepped to the side Of this man,
raised my hand over the crowd, and
said Ladies and gentlemen, may I
say a word? When | came to your
town eighteen years ago you had
only 100000 people, now $4,000. But
You had 4S8 licensed saloons selling
liquor all day and all night and all
day Sunday in violation Of law. You
had four breweries, a number Of
wholesale houses and. warehouses.
These institutions maintained eigh-
teen vans on one of which I have
counted one hundred barrels. These
vans delivered six loads a day and
five or SIX with d new crew over
night, supplying the saloons and
gambling hells and bootleggers, for
there were 1870 liquor licenses taken
out in Portland those days, and if

WHAT HAS PROHIBITION
DONE FOR this NATION?
DIR. Clarence True Wilson, NJ. E.
Church. Asks and Answers
The Question

1t will probably not he overlooked
by any students Of American history
that the first rebellion THAI ever
raised its arm against the govern
ment of the United States was the
Whisky Rebellion Of 1924. Tha gov
eminent was new. It had no funds 10
carry on its work. Under the Arti-
cles Of Confederation it cojid not
levy a direct tax except by the cor
sent of the various States Finally
an adjustment was made bv which
whisky was to be taxed. The whisky
makers in western Pennsylvania re
fused to recognize this levy O. to pay
one dollar of taxes. They hauled
down the American flag, fired OF mail
carriers, postofiices and custom hous-
es, and drove the tax collectors into
hiding; and George Washington had
to call for troops to put down this
incipient rebellion and to enforce the
sovereignty of our country.
From that day to this the Liquor
Traffic has been enthusiastically
disloyal and lawless. 1t has violated
every law that has ever been passed
for its regulation, its taxing or it,
prohibition. We have had laws
against selling to minors, but it has
sold to any little boy or girl who
could reach the money up as high as
the counter, and has manufactured
doped candy to be presented to them
going and coming from home and
school.
We have had laws against it sell
ing to inebriates but it has sold 10
any poor, weak, drunken man as long
as he could stand up to pay, and rcII-
ed him when he was down for what
he might have left.
We have had laws against it sell.
ing on Sunday but the organized
liquor traffic almost tramplcI out gu.
American Sabbath By its cadslcss
violation, turning Sunday into a day
of carousaI and drunkenness.
We have had laws against it sell
ing in certain townships and counties
It has violated every such restriction
and sought to break down every law
for its limitation, regulation or pro-
hibition; and the violation IF the
present National Prohibition Law is
no new thing for the iCaor tlaA'c.
Lawlessness did not originals with

would still have 450 illegal joints
selling with as little right as the
bootlegger has now. Now we have
cut that whole business down to one
Ford and two and one-half bottles,
the bootlegger is on his way to Jail
and the car III process Of confiscation
to the government, and we have a
natural born and long practiced idiot
here trying to make us believe things
are as bad as they ever We're"
l think this fairly illustrates the
gigantic proportions one little sale or
supply Of liquor takes on now in our
publicity methods against the wide
spread drinking, drunkenness, manu-
facture, sale dominance of politics
and corruption of government repre-
scented by the licensed liquor traffic
Of four brief years ago. Instead Of
Prohibition being a failure as those
whom it has restricted would have us
believe it has been in spite of handi-
caps the greatest moral triumph that
our generation has ever seen in the
round world. 1t is not as we'll en-
forced as it might be; the officers
selected in many instances by the
enemies Of the law with a design to
have it fail have not enforced it per-
fectly, but it has wrought some of the
moral miracles of the Twentieth
Century. Let me name few.
We will remember when the most
powerful trust that ever blighted
America with it's presence, defed the
government and sneered at the
Church, dictated to all parties, legis-
latures, councils, and even the Senate
and Congress itself, was the liquor
traffic of the United States. People
prayed for its prohibition without
any faith that they woEld live to see
the day. They voted against it, but
il was like trying to bail out an ocean
with a thimble, and the greatest Pro
hibitionist l ever knew in my youth
in his most eloquent flights pictured
the better day coming and would say,
"Prohibition will one day come to our
world, and whether on this side or
from the other side, I shall see it. ="
Well, neither he nor any of those
thousands lived long enough to see
it, but their children are here and
have seen that colossal nation
embracing trust that coined into cash
the appetite, habits and even the
social craving Of mankind, turned in
to al outlawcd bootlegger, cringing
before officers and knowing that it
and its business are doomed and that
It has but a short time. To have
outIawed the liquor traffic is alone a
yindication Of Prohibition.
1t has removed organized and le-
