BOARD OF TEMPERANCE

At the annual meeting in Wash
ington, on Dec. 8, of the Board of
Temperance, Prohibition and Pub
lie Morals Of the Methodist Epis-.
copal Church, resolutions we're
passed favoring the enactment by
Congress of the Cramton and
Stalker bills; condemning prize
fighting on government reservations
and participated in by professional
prizefighters; prohibiting the trans
portation thru the mail Of indecent
magazines and books specializing in
sex appeal; condemning lynching:
relative to the enforcement of the
18th Amendment in the District OF
Columbia; congratulating the Secre-
J tary of the Treasury and Commits
sioner Of Prohibition on checking
liquor smuggling; commencing At
torney General Lish, of Indiana; and
favoring child labor legislation.
In favoring the enactment Of the
Cramton Nbill the resolution states
A in part:
'sAs long as Industrial alcohol il
kept under the Bureau of Internai
Revenue collectors, and 100000
gallons are Withdrawn a year and
diverted to beverage use, it is I'M
fair to hold the Prohibition Unit
responsible for these amounts that
leak out into illegitimate use,,'
DR.. Clarence True Wilson, Gem
re I, of T0y,n
perance, in his report to the annual
meeting, recommended the transfer
of the Prohibition Unit to the De-
partment of Justice, or the creation
of q new department. under the
direct supervision of the President.
It was an error, DR. Wilson said, to
put the federal prohibition unit
under the Treasury Department
rather than under the Department
Of Justice. DR.. Wilson also recon-
mended that prohibition agents be
placed under civil service.
The Research Secretary, Mr..
Deets Pickett, stated in his report
that the 69th Congress would have
319 dry votes in the House of Repre-
sentatives, III wet votes and five
which it is impossible to classify
with certainty, and in the Senate
there will be seyenty-four dry votes
twenty-one wet votes and one
vacancy. He also called attention
to the foreign work of the Board
which is carrying on temperance
activities in twenty-one nations
.sMethodism is militant Church"
declared Rev. Raymond v. Johnson,
Field Secretary, and must continue
its militant attitude toward the
lack Of law enforcement. 1t must
stand against all opponents OF the
18th Amendment.
s.The vested liquor interests
throughout the world are greatly
fearing the ultimate triumph OF pro-
hibition," said Rev. j. Waskom
Pickett, representative OF the Board
in India. He further declared: IN
India the opposition to Temperance
and prohibition has been viclousiy
conducted by the liquor people"
Authorization was given for
letter to be sent to Methodists
throughout the world, and asking
their cooperation in organizing to
free the world of the organized
liquor traffic The letter warns the
Msthodists about the attempt being
made to make it appear that prohi-
bition is a failure in the United
States, and that this attempt is
actuated by financial motives.

tBy The Federated Press,

BERLIN.--In the general effort at
effecting economies in the govern
mental and administrative apparatus
of Germany, many institutions are
being reduced in such a manner as
to endanger the population. A case
in point is the public health and hy-
giene department.
The number of visiting nurses in

tricts has been reduced to one for
every 10000 children of school age.
tuberculosis is again on the increase
after having been reduced mater

ing nurses and physicians.
In some Of the city hospitals of
Berlin the patients have been or
dered to bring along their own bed
linens, by way of bringing down adj
ministration costs. This means I'M
equal treatment of patients, for only
the best situated among them can
bring linens.
An examination. Of children in the
proletarian section of Neukolin, ir

Feels Like Forty;
Still Unchanged

WASHINGTON - Samuel Com
pers, celebrating his 74th birthday,
announces that he feels just the same
as he did when he was 40. He furth-
er added that he is so energetic that
he couldn't keep still if he wanted to.
Progressives in the labor move
ment agree with both those asser-
tions. They point out that when he
was 40, the 10th century was in full
blast and Sam to all intents and pur-
poses is still in the 10Th century.
And his statement that he couldn't
keep still even if he wanted to was
borne out at the Portland convention
where he was perpetually interrupt
ing proceedings for lengthy speeches,
expressing the same sentiments he
felt when he was 40.

MERCIFUL FIRE GOD
STAGES BLAZE ON
WEEKEND HOLIDAY

Fire of undetermined origin SUM-
day destroyed st. Anthony's Paro-
chial School on West 18th Place. The
fire started on the third floor which
is occupied by grammar grades and
spread to the second floor.
The first floor was saved from
damage by fire but suffered from
water. Luckily the fire happened
on Sunday when the school building
was not being used or loss of life
would have been certain. The fire
spread so rapidly that as soon as the
first engine company arrived spe-
cial alarm calling out more fire COM
panies was sent in.
The companies called out by the
special alarm fought the fire for
more than an hour before 1t was
brought under control.
The fire served TO show what could
be expected IL fire were to break
out in a public school during school
hours. st. Anthony's school was
housed in comparatively modern
building but burned like finder.
Many of the public school buildings
Of the city are twice as old and not
as well equipped with fire escapes
and exits yet had the school building
been in use undoubtedly great loss Of
life would have resulted from the
fire.

C ESAR FRANCK'S
MOURNFUL MUSIC
HEARD IN CHICAGO
Symphony Orchestra to
Render Bach Next
By ALFRED V. FRANKENsTE1N

by ALFRED v. FRANKENSTETN
A purely orchestral program, with
out a soloist, was played by the
Chicago Symphony orchestra Friday
and Saturday. The concert opened
with the fourth overture to Beetho-
vens "Fidelio." In its fiery yet for
NAL classic spirit the overture chose
ly resembles the familiar "Leonore
Overture No. g."
The symphony of the week was
Cesar F'ranck's justly famous work
The first movement is painted in
gray orchestral colors of subdued
deep gripping mourning, with eli
MAKES suggestive Of something more
passionate. The second movement
is reyery, a sort of half dream
but shot full Of melancholy. The
last section continues the spirit OF
the second, but rises to climax
in which the themes that seemed SO
sad before are treated in a tri-
umphant, heroic fashion.
Ettore Panizza, the opera conduc-
tor, took time out from his labors
at the Auditorium long enough tc
direct the first performance in Amer
lea Of an original theme with varia-
tons. It is supposed to interpret the
spirit of Russian music, but as Rus
sian art it smacks too much of Mi
Ian. The work is a good example
of the varying moods that single
short musical idea can be trans
formed into.
The prelude to Lohengrin fol-
lowed The prelude to Lohengrin is
a long, ethereal ecstacv of religious
mysticism. Just as religion has re-
tarded and warped scientific thought
it has contributed immeasureably to
the development of art, and thru this
mystic and ecstatic art expression
has been able to keep its grip or
the minds of men.
The Bacchanale from Tannhauser
was played. This is frenzied and
weird dance Of Venus and her ador-
ers, ending in a sensuous, erotic slow
movement.
The love scene from Richard
Strauss opera "Feuersnot," (The
Need of FIRE., which concluded the
program, is brilliant and magnif-
cent piece of music, but no more sug-
gestive of the passion Of love thar

ment. .f ~q

counter-revolutionaries taking refuge
there. They state in their message
that they know which side gave them
the land and which side is trying to
take it away again.
One-ffth Of the army of 10000
was involved in the counter-revolu-
ton, according to the war depart
ment. Volunteers, consisting mostly
of peasants and to less extent Of
workers, have now raised the fed
cral army to 10000.
Fascist Draft Workers Leaders.
When the workers at Rio Blanco,
near Orizaba, in the fascist district,
went on strike, their leaders were
drafted into the rebel army and
sent Immediately to TIC front and
their strike meetings were declared
counter revolutionists against the
conspiracies and broken up. Eulaio
Martinez, organizer, Mexican FEEDER
alton of Labor, was one Of the first
to be so drafted, but after being sent
to the front escaped to the federal
lines.

De la Huerta has declared a block
ade Of the government port of Tam
pico. which will be enforced by the
battleships Tampico, Aqua Priet and

The object of the blockade order
is to prevent the landing of Amer
lean munitions for Che government,
hut it is expected that such ships
will be escorted by American men
of-war so that the blockade will
probably not be effective. It will,
however, furnish an excellent pre-
text for international complications
