Coast Guard Cutters and

Repetitions of the I'll
tanic''D sas Giant
Masses of Ice.
BY DUNCAN

I'D HIS Is the open season for ice
III bergs-the time OF the year when
81 .hese floating monsters of the
w. deep are steruly pursued by the
organized forces of navigation.
This pursuit is like NJ other chase
In the world. Its purpose is purely
defensive. In other hunts man makes
use of his modern implements and
machinery to combat and destroy the
object of his search. With the Ice
bergs he hunts them for the mere
purpose of enabling hts ships to keep
Il of their way.
When it comes TO the freedom OF the
seas the iceberg is a monarch OF wide
dominion. Science admits its help
Iessness in the face of the menace of
the floating berg. Destruction Is out
of the question. The only thing man
can hope to achieve is to locate the
wandering masses of solid ice and
war; his navigators how to avoid
them.
For this purpose the International
Ice Patrol carries on a work OF
watchful cruising. During the spring
and early summer icebergs are hunted
with a persistence which a few years
ago was undreamed of. The sighting
of a mass Of floating Ice Is Immediate
ly made known to n~avigators by the
magic radio and the peril to shipping
is thus greatly reduced. The patrol is
maintained under an agreement
among the fourteen nations directly
interested in the navigation OF the
North Atlantic. This agreement en-
braces the United States, Great Britain
and various European powers. The
active work is done by the United
Coast Guard. as the agency
best equipped for the conduct Of this
important undertaking.

Wellesley Girls Own
Biggest Feet In
Colleges
BY COsmopolitan News Service.

WELLESLEY, Mass, Oct.
13.-Wellesley College girls
have the largest feet in Ameri-
ca, whereas, twenty years ago
they had the smallest.
Seven and half C., accord
ing to James Lee, owner of
Wellesley's chief shoe store,
is the average size worn by
academic maids. A generation
ago it was three B.
Enormous feet might be
called q standing characteristic
Of upper classmen. Exercise
and broad soled shoes made
them that way. High heels
and pointed toes are almost
tabQD about the campus. The
cultured woman is above such
foolish femininity, if you can
take it from the profs.
Four and half B is the
model size usually worn by
feminine beauties. And, may
it be whispered, many of the
college girls are nat-footed!

of "Stinnes wins" from the COM

This was a fateful day for the re.
public. Eearly in the morning the
Chancellor warned political leaders

If his bill did not get the necessary
two-thirds to enact it. There was
an atmosphere Of tension and hos

after its recess from Thursday.
Legality Upheld.
Stressemann argued that dissolu-
ton OF the Reichstag would be
legal according to article 48 Of the
Weimar constitution. However,

Haynes Tells Conference Of
Difficulties Coolidge for .
Strict enforcement.
By b. K. REYNOLDS.

Any uncertainty that may have
existed - to the position Of the
Coolidge Administration with re-
spect TO the enforcement Of the
National Prohibition Act was
swept aside here today.
Coolidge Bone Dry"
The "bone dry" attitude OF the
Administration was revealed official
" by Major Roy A. Haynes, the
Federal Prohibition Commissioner,
in an address before more than
O thousand men and women
gathered here in a conference to
discuss law enforcement problems,
with special reference to the Vol
stead Act and the Eighteenth
Amendment.
President Coolidge stands four.
square for enforcement of the prohi-
bition law" Commissioner Haynes
declared. He Is no less whole
hearted regarding this matter than
the late President Harding. The
Department of Justice is also dead
In earnest"
Sees Long Fight Ahead.
It-was the general understanding
among the religious, civic and social
leaders composing the conference
that the announcement Of the Pro
hibftion Commissioner was made
with the full approval Of the Pres
ident.
Promising to tell the truth
about the enforcement Of the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
Volstead act" Commissioner Haynes
said that the law was now being
enforced effectively. but that 100
per cent enforcement would not be
possible for at least ten years.
BIames Public Opinion.
Adverse public opinion" which
was said to exist mainly on the
eastern seaboard, was blamed by
Haynes for many Of the problems
which confront the Government In
keeping the country dry.
THE Eighteenth Amendment was
the result Of a great moral and re
Ngious fervor," Haynes said. 1.-THE
spirit which actuated the sponsors
of this law certainly must be kept
alive after the law has been written
into the statues.
THE prohibition law and the mar
cotic laws are, perhaps, the most
typical American laws on our statute
books. They represent the deterri
nation upon the part Of the people tt
make certain restrictions upon theil
own personal habits for the good Of
the greatest number"
Flags Propaganda.
Haynes charged the liquor inter
ests" with carrying on tremendous
propaganda" to make the country
believe that the prohibition law can
not be enforced.
These minority forces" he said
"have not yet awakened to a realiza
zion that prohibition Is now tht
fundamental law Of the land by the
Eighteenth amendment to the Cor
stitution. These forces, however, dc
not represent the great mass of the
American people-those who com
prise the bone and sinew of on,

OF wholesale violations is un
founded, "but had a complaint Il
