instead, who talked profusely, smirked,
grimaced, pranced, writhed his hands,
in copious explanation of nothing at

Ultimately Gordon grimly grasped
the reins, ordered another man to rush
to Fushiki to relieve Williams. When

to sanction Williams intent of remov-
ing Wells from his interloping posi-
ton, and she was vaguely conscious
that Williams had done it. Sentiment
rather than reason had been her guide.

The question as to the life of the
meat of hickory nut, the length of
time it will last before it becomes
strong wcs discussed pro and con at
McRae, Ark, when a hickory nut of
the 'scaly bark" variety. given to Mrs.
Fleste ernest by a friend in 1904 and

browns IN EFFORT
TO RESCUE WIFE
Veteran Bureau Clerk Goes
Down With Her at Patux-
ent Beach, Md.

A man gave his life in vainly try
ing to save his wife from drowning
at Patuxent Beach, Md, near Solo
mons Island yesterday. The couples
holiday ended in double tragedy.
Mrs. Helen Adams Lawrence, a
clerk at the Veterans Bureau, was in
the water. Her hsuband. Wilbur NJ.
Lawrence, also a clerk at the same
bureau. was nearby. The meager de-
tails of the drowning and the heroic
sacrifice of the life of the husband
reaching here indicate that Mrs. Law
renee stepped into deep pool and
sank. The husband went for her
though he was no swimmer. 1t may
have been that an undercurrent car
ried them beyond the safe depths 1t
may have been that the deep spot
sucked both down.
The news received by the family of
Mrs. Lawrence here does not state
definitely. But the day ended in the
recovery of the body of the wife
while search was continuing for the
body of the husband.
The couple lived at 1852 q street
They were married in November 1921

2.75 PER CENT LIQUOR
IS PROVED HARMFUL
Wheeler Sees Doom OF Light Wine
and Beer Movement by Scien-
tific Verdict.

The dreams of 2.75 liquor are
forever blasted. according to Wayne
r. Wheeler. general counsel of the
Anti-Saloon League, who declares that
the publication by the Carnegie In
stitute of "Alchol and Human Effci-
ency" by Walter Miles, World authority
on experimental psychology and physi-
o,ogy, shows that 2.7a beer depresSes
both body and mind almost as much as
II or % per cent beverages.
DIR. Miles has made a series of
experiments since 1914 in which both
abStainerS and accustomed drink erS
were used and states that he found
the efficiency of both these classes
markedly impaired by even ddiute
doses. of alcohol. 1t was found that
errors in tvpcwriting Increased from
- to 20 per cent after small doses
of alcohol. These errors were. not
confined to minor ones.
1t was also demonstrated that wine
Is quite a deceiver. One habitual
drinker for many years felt that he
was doing better work after getting
experiments showed differently.
Mr.. Wheeler states, THE beer
group has often publicly pretended
to regret that there was no scientific
definition of intoxicating beverages.
They will regret still more the fact
that there is such a final and authori-
tative study now. It shows that
even very small quantities of alcohol
taken by seasoned drinkers affect
body and mind, impair efficiency and
produce all the popularity accepted
as we'll as the scientifically deter
mined evidences of intoxication.
