ter a conference with Governor Alfred
E. Smith that the governor would en-
ter the next democratic national con-

He said he believed the democratic
national platform would carry plank
calling for modification or liberalizing
of the Vostead act 81 think it will be
to the advantage of the democrats to
incorporate such a pledge" he said.
Mr.. Mack added:
"All of the powerful eastern sea-
board states want the Volstead law
modified. The greatest opposition to
modification comes from the western
states, which are normally republican.
"The great industrial states like
New York, New Jersey Pennsylva-
MIA, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Illinois and Ohio and
even Wisconsin and Maryland, are
swinging around to the idea that the
present national prohibition law is too
drastic"

Blondes With Baby Blue
Eyes Are Not Plentiful
Brunette Has a Marked Advantage
Over Her Flaxon-H Haired Sister.

acknowledgements, now in
annual congress here, announced that
blondes with baby-blue eyes are rap
idly approaching extinction in this
part of the world.
Its all on account of the intense
light in this latitude" explained Dr.
Paul, chairman of the congress. pig
ment protects the retina by screening
out the destructive light rays and the
blonde, with not enough pigment for
our intense light, suffers accordingly.
"The blonde, of course, comes from
northern Europe, where the light is
softer than here, while the brunette
comes from warmer, SUMMER chimes.
In America the brunette has mark
ed optical advantage over her fair
haired sister.
THE only thing the blue-eyed baby
doll can do to keep from going the
way Of the buffalo and the dodo is to
wear glasses that shut out the ultra
violet rays-but can you imagine a
blue-eyed fapper trying to practice
her wiles through smoked goggles?"
People with blue eyes were advised
to roll them frequently, look up from
their work often, give them plenty Of
fresh air and frequent bathings in
cold water sit up straight and as Of
ten as possible look at green grass
or flowers or the blue sky.

VEGETABLE DIET
GIVES ENDURANCE
OPPONENTS OF MEAT EATING
MAKE CLAIMS FOR THE
FLESHLESS MEALS.

That multitudes of people have
stopped eating meat, that multitudes
more are eating less and less each
year. no one acquainted with the
facts, we think, can deny. We have
yet to hear anyone say, who has ceas-
ed to eat meat or largely given it up,
that he did not feel abundantly re-
paid in better health AS house wives
and cooks learn how to prepare, as
it may be prepared, an attractive veg
etable diet many more will turn to it
and away from animal flesh.
From time to time we shall publish,
as we are doing now, selections from
a very able writer upon this subject.
No matter whether we agree in all
points or not, the statements made are
well worth thoughtful consideration:
The thought of meatless diet is GER
tainly very attractive The accuStom-
cd meat eater is glad to feast his eyes
on the piled 10 fruit and vegetables
in the market place rather than on
the suggestive substantial cuts hang
ing inside, awaiting the salesman S
knife and scales; and it seems extra
ordinary that we should persist in the
belief that to acquire strength we
must eat the vegetarian animal which
acquires its herculean strength and
fibre from the plant life which we re,
ject, believing it insufficient to main
tain life and vigor for ourselves, Such
faith have some of us in the success
of an attractive meatless diet that with
the eye of unwavering faith we see
the tombstone beneath which shall be
buried many dietetic errors, and we
believe that even those who have long
chung to unreformed methods will be
willing nay, anxious, to 'forsake the
old and put on the new" when the at
tractive board is spread with vegeta-
rian chefs d'oevre-seasoned, too with
a peace of mind that comes from well
doing.
Vegetarianism at its best may well
feel proud of its followers, who in
long distance races reach the goal
fresh and smiling and less fatigued,
far in advance of the wearied eaters,
who, as scientists have fully demon
strated, for continued endurance have
far less stamina than meat abstaifers.
True it is that vegetarianism, as us
ually practiced, is a semi-starvation
diet. Vegetables are destroyed in the
cooking rather than steamed
the water which has absorbed the
valuable salts is cast away leaving the
starchy pulp to be served on the CON
sumer's table Wheat, on which man
could subsist almost alone, is for
commercial reasons devitalized by the
criminal boiling process and its valu-
able elements are fed as waste to ami
mails while the starchy remainder is
reserved for the human family.
Food stuffs, we are told, not only
lose their food value. but become act
ual poisons in proportion to their loss
of mineral bodies. In our garden veg
etables are found these precious in
dispensable minerals-such as sodium,
calcium, magnesium, silicon, iron, po-
tasium, manganese, chlorine, huorine
and iodine.-Our Dumb Animals

Engineer Would Make
Sahara Desert Bloom
Seeks to Obtain Water by Sinking
Well Like Those Used in Australia.

LONDON.-Continental engineers
think large tracts of the Sahara desert
may be made fertile by artesian Dor
ings similar to those employed in the
arid parts of Australia.
Pointing out that the sinking OF
wells had made Australia one OF the
greatest pasture countries in all the
world, CASTOR Tmbeaux, chief engi-
neer of the public works department
of the French government, says sim
liar methods would cause number OF
fertile GASES to spring up in the Sa-
hara, providing pasture for sheep.
NJ. Imbeaux says large reserves OF
water undoubtedly exist under the
great wastes of Africa, and that if the
French authorities would undertake to
sink shafts to these subterranean
well the future success OF the pro
iected trans-Saharan railway would
be assured, as the line would be fur
nished with the necessary water at
regular intervals.

Tut's Neglect
To InUest Cost
Untold Wealth

BALTIMORE, Md, February 24.-
1t has been estimated by Lord Car
narvon, discoverer of the tomb of
Tutankhamen, that the total value
of all objects found in the tomb is
about s15.000.O00. Somebody with
a mathematical mind popped up in
Baltimore and asked:
How much would that have
amounted to If. instead Of having
beer buried with the king 3,400
years ago, it had been put out in
safe 6 per cent bonds and COM
pounded up TO the present day?'
Here is the answer:
Sl4,2Ss, 900. 900 ,000, 100 900 900, ,000.-
900, 100000, ,000, 900 ,000, ,00O. .000, ,000,-
600. 900, 100000, 900, 900, 900, ,000,o ,o00,-

This is the figure Of DR.. John
Rogers MuSSelman, assistant pro-
fessor Of mathematics at Johns

Of another we'll known mathemati-
clan is:
