Men of Lewis Must Drink Deep If They Dring at All

LONDON. Apra y.- 5tornoway, Scotland, has gone "dry" under local option and according to evidence given at an inquest recently, the place is full of resorts where liquor is being sold illegally. However. many men of Stornoway have a method of querching their thirst by indulging ir their favorite bev- craze, beer, and at the same time, keeping within the law. There is still one wholesale establishment in Stornoway where beer is sold, but nothing less than four and half gal Ions may be sold at one time by the vendor A practice which is grow ing in favor with certain class of me nand becoming somewhat com mon is for them to club togther and buy the minimum quantity of beer allowed by the law and then indulge to the limit. The police have no power to interfere with a group of men drinking if they have not obtained less than the prescribed four and half gallons. hence group drinking is on the in crease.

ALIEN WOMEN ARE EAGER TO
 BE CITIZENS

DULUTH, Minn., April Up on the iron ranges of Minnesota, far away from the disturbing influences of the other melting pots in the United States, there arc many women of foreign birth among the compara- lively large number of unnaturalizel residents. But no longer do they devote their chatting time to trivia. personal matters and tales of the old country. Instead they are attending flight schools with the idea of becom- ing active Amfican citiens.
 This is the conclusion reached by R. K Doe, United States naturaliza- ton examiner for the head of the lakes, who cites figures to show that 50 per cent of those who attend the range night schools are women. He says this melting pot" is pointing the way to other centgrs of native Americans in civic advancement.
 In this mining region where as many men work nights as days, un- parallelcd results are being obtained through Amerieanization work. ln- !

 1 While the region has shown no ma terial growth in population in late months, the attendance at the classes has been doubled many times in sev- .eral cases, and the entiro system shows a healthy expansion Al though the woman are showing a greater interest in the schools than mon, as reflected by the percent ages, the number of men students in creases materially every year
