NEW YORK, May 6.-Federal
prohibition enforcement officials in
New York, facing the necessity Oh

ernor Smith affiXes the expected
gubernatorial signature to the bin
repeating the Mullan-Gage state en-
forcement act, hvae been drafting
plans for spreading their attenuated
lines over the territory which has
been largely covered for them by
state and municipal forces.
Palmer Garfield, enforcement d.
rector for the state, said he had
about 200 men to cover the entire
state, including the Canadian bor-
der, now largely patroled against
rum-runners by state police. He ex'
pected assistance from Washington
but declared he expected the police
to go on aiding in prohibition en-
forcement as far as they were able.
Police Must Make Arrests
"While the repeal of the Mullan.
Gage law is a serious blow to en-
forcement, because it will make It
appear that New York is seeding
from the union, the police, neverthe-
less, are compelled, when they see a
violation of the law, to make ar
rests and turn their prisoners over
to the federal authorities" he de-
clared.
At police headquarters, however,
it was stated, that tentative, plans
already were being made to return
to patrol duty nearly one thousand
policemen who have spent most Of
their time hunting violators of the
state enforcement law.
Just what effect the repeal would
have on criminal and civil cases now
pending against alleged violatoTs
had not been made clear tonight.
Acting District Attorney Pecora
said his understanding was that the
repeal was not retroactive, and that
if this was found to be the case, the
district attorneys Office would push
through all cases of violation UP to
| the time when the law becomes eff
| fective.
Professional Drys Busy
Meanwhile, professional drys were
issuing statements sharply criticiz-
ing the repeal and predicting dire
doings by bootleggers and persons
crazed by moonshine whisky.
Orville S. Poland, general counsel
and legislative representative of the
state Anti-Saloon league, declared

PAIGE AND EWETT DEALER MsPECTs GREAT PLANTS
LEE DOUD WRITES INTERESTING STORY OF HIS TRIP

that he might be up to the minute

Doud-Weaver company. He writes
the following for the Tribune
readers:
The Paige Motor Car Co., which
has been manufacturing passenger
ears and trucks for fourteen years,
one of the foremost automobile
companies r the United 6tates, be-
ing eighth in production. Tho
Paige company has for a number OF
years been a closed corporation, no
stock having been offered on the
market.
I was given the opportunity of
studying the various manufactur-
ing and assembly plants. Visiting
the Jewett Motor plant, It was in
deed interesting as well as crafty
ing to note what precision and
care each man takes T., doing his
specialized piece of work. Every
motor block is bored to a fraction
of a thousandth, and then ground
to the exact size. This grinding
leaves the cylinder walls with the
same somothness as glass.
After each piston, connecting rod,
rank shaft etc, have. passed their

into the hands of experienced fit.

and each one of the six must weigh

Money could not buy a better piece
Of workmanship.
II. NJ. Jewett. p. esident of the
Paige Co., in a snappy address to
h National Paige Dealers banquet
in Chicago, brought out the fact
that s5 900 would not build a better
a than their latest creation, the
$40 Paige. I spent half a day in
the $40 plant, and in my study of
material used, assembly, body fin
ish, etc, 1 could understand Mr..
Jewett's broad statement. Each
and every car is hand made. They
are not run through on a conveyer
and assembled under pressure Of
haste, but are put together as you
would expect of cars In the $4,000
class.
The many new rehnements and
improvements will be a revelation
to u Casper friends when the
first go arrives the later part of
the month.
Added to the six Paige body de-
signs. is a 5 passenger touring
Sedan. Beautiful body design and
workmanship with exquisite ap-
pointments has made this luxurious
closed a one Of the senations of
the Chicago show.
The most serious handicap ap-
parent to all automobile manufac-
turers this year is the shortage of
freight a0nippanf for abfnnFn-
cars. Hundreds of cars are being
driven out of Detroit daily. At
present there is a freight embargo
on in Detroit, making It exception
ally hard to get any shipments
started, so I unite in urging you to
order your new car now"

 Eliminated From Studies

Beginners books now in use. many of the more difficult books and the idea that good Latin was written only during a period of about 150 years. must be abandoned before better re- suits In teaching Latin in high schools can be attained, pr James H. billiard, rector of William and Mary college, and president of the Slater and Jeanes funds, told members Of the southern division or the Classical As sociatior of the Middle West and south Friday morning at Howard col lege He spoke on Suggestions For High School Latin"
 The fundamental program Of pres ent-dsy beginners books is wrong, Dr. billiard declared. They empha- size from the first not the language. hut the grammar. There are few stu dents, so far as have been able to observe. who have tine proper appre- citation of the literature or who have received the training in accuracy which the study should give after four years study
 Continuation of easy Latin reading for two years was urged, along with postponement of the study Of sXntaX as long as possible. The study of Latin should begin al least a year earlier than at present, because young people learn languages more readily he said
 Latin teashing must he made worthy of it's place in the course Of study" pr. Dillard said, @ft would be a sad day for education if Latin were discarded from the curriculum"
