some paid as much as $4,000 for a
forty acre tract of this land and
they have never been able to raise
anything. Every spring heavy
rains bring a flood over this low
land and it is now nothing but a
worthless marsh. Now, a bill,
which has the support of the
lzaak Walton League, will be in
troduced in the legislature to COM
pei the corporation which was
guilty of the crime to restore
Horizon lake to its former stage
by building a permanent dam
where the old one was DESTROYED
and maintaining it.
Resolutions were adopted as
follows:
l. Endorse and support the pro-
posed changes of the Game and
Fish Laws.
z. Appoint a legislative COM
mlttee of five who will present
our proposed changes next winter
before joint session of the Senate
and Assembly. There is where
big membership and strength
is going to count. Will the legis-

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
BY FREDERIC ]. HASKIN

Q. Is the vote of a State in the
electoral college cast as a unit
II. Z. T.
A. Not necessarily. The electors
chosen in a State may not all be of
the same party, and they vote ac-
cording to their party affiliations.
For example, in 1912 the result in
California was SO close that while
Roosevelt carried the State, the two
Democratic electors receiving the
most votes had a slight margin over
the two Roosevelt or Progressive
electors, receiving the fewest votes.
Accordingly the electoral vote of the
State was divided, Roosevelt receiv-
ing IL votes and Wilson 2.
@. What is the size Of our largest
cannon and how far can 1t shoot
X. II.
A. The Ordnance Department says
that the most powerful gun used in
the military service is the 16-inch
| gun, which has range of $4,000
yards. a length Of so calibers and
| weighs 100000 pounds.
Q. Doesn't Georgia produce more
watermelons than any other State?-
| D. G..
A. In 1923 Texas led all the States
in the production of watermelons,
with 9,195 cars, as compared with
7,1S9 for Georgia and 5,404 for
Florida.
Q. Are there any figures to show
how much more water is used in this
country than in Europe?-k. S. 3.
A. Comparisons may be made OF
the per capita consumption of water
in American and European cities.
which, given in gallons per 24-hour
day, is as follows for these cities:
| New York, ITO; Brooklyn, 90; Balti-
more, 1864; Louisville, 81; Cleveland,
! 176; Cincinnati, 1877; Milwaukee, 1856;
Buffalo, 257; Salt Lake City, 22o; Los
Angeles. IA; Paris, 65; Hamburg, A;
| London, 80; Liverpool, SO; Amster-
dam, 81; Copenhagen, 27; Dresden,
&c, and Berlin, %.
@. How much money is spent in
advertising in a year in this coun-
try?-W. j.
A. Experts say there is no way of
| knowing definitely what advertising
expenditures total in any given
period. Estimates for 1923 range from
$S50,o00,O00 to 31,0o0,000,000
@. What was the real name Of the
! Mexican bandit who was known as
Pancho Villa p. r. L.
| A Villas real name was Doreteo
Oranga. He assumed the name of
villa at the age of 26, when he made
his escape after shooting a captain
| of one Of President Diazs regiments
| in a dispute over cards.
Q. In various kinds Of accidents,
don't men get injured more often than
women?-A. n.
A Available statistics have to do
only with fatalities. There is only
one kind Of accident-burns-wh
causes more deaths of females than
of males. statistics covering a long
period of years showing that three
| out Of five deaths from this cause
| are women and girls.
| Q. How much does the Woodrow
Wilson Foundation fund amount to?
| r. E. G.
A 1t was proposed to raise $1,000
| 600 for the Woodrow Wilson Founda-
tion. When the permanent organiza-
| tion was effected December 81, 1922,

amounted to 100000.

lost profits in the advanced prices due
to the shutting of of the supply mean

The rum runners will not fight back.
Capture means conf1scation Of their
craft as we'll as their cargoes. and
probably heavy fines. possibly i'm
prisonment. They can stand fines, and
II the prison terms are not too long
they can stand them as we'll. But con-
fiscation OF ships means heavy losses.
They will dodge and run at the first
sign Of attack, even as they are run
ming now before the attack begins.
1t is the open boast OF the foes OF
prohibition that it cannot be enforced,
that the Volstead act Is a dead letter,
that the eighteenth amendment has in
effect been repealed. Enforcement is
undoubtedly difficult, but the law is
far from being a dead letter, and the
eighteenth amendment stands as a
part of the Constitution, with the sup
port of a very great number Of the
people, certainly sufficient to prevent
any formal repeal if that should ever
be attempted.
Enforcement will become more easy
when the off shore sources OF supply
are checked through this present cam
paign against the smugglers. The At
lantic seaboard is a long stretch to
guard, and even with a most vigorous
pursuit of the snugglers some scat
tered importations will probably re-
main. But the moral effect OF en-
forcement at sea, with the reduction
by anything over so per cent Of the
present inflow, will be strongly felt as
a deterrent against the traffic.
In any case. it is the Government
duty to persist in this warfare against
Iawlessness at any cost. The Presi.
dent. in his speech Of acceptance, thus
briefly disposes Of this question::
Our country has adopted prohibition
and provided by legislation for its en-
forcement. It Is the duty Of the citizen
to observe the law. and the duty Of the
Executive to enforce. 1 propose to do
my duty as pest l can

BOOTLECCINC IMMIGRANTS
BY EDGAR MELS.
ARTICLE v.

Bootleggers and their allies, the
rum runners, operating along the At
lantic coast, and especially off New
Jersey and Long Island are doing a
land office business bootlegging i'm
migrants into the United States. Just
how many aliens they smuggle in in
stated time there is no way Of tell
ing. but the number is considerable
A Washington newspaper man. at the
risk Of his life, lay night after night
on the sand dunes around Barnegat
Bay and Bivalve, N. j., and saw many
strange sights.
He estimates that the rum runners
on the New Jersey coast average zoo
during the summer months. Seventy
per cent of their crews desert when
once in American waters. AS the
crews average 20 men per ship when
undermanned-and they usually are
overmanned on their arrival-it is
estimated that about 5000 aliens go
overheard each time the fleet makes
turnover. And as some of the boot
Logging ships from the West Indies
make Is trips a year, while few make
less than 3. the conservative total
of smuggled aliens approximates
80, 1000.
A Haven for Smugglers.
The favorite haunt of the smugglers
is near the large inlet known as Bar
negat Bay. It's entrance Is a narrow
inlet between shifting sandbars, un-
guarded except by a few life-savers
ON Barnegat Island and the men as
signed to the antiQuated lighthouse.
The inlet affords an easy passage
for even the largest power boats.
Smaller sailing vessals can make the
passage at flood tide without danger.
Once inside the inlet, and Barnegat
Bay stretches out for miles to the
north, south and west. 1t is lined
with coves and tnlets close to railroad
connections. Little danger exists from
espionage or interference from coast
guards, revenue officers or immigra-
tion officers.
Landing charges range from $25 to
$50 head, depending on the point Of
delivery. If the smuggled alien is set
ashore on Barnegat Island and left to
catch the daily midday train which
lands him in Philadelphia or any Of
the Intern ediary stops, the charge is
$25. But if he prefers to go to Toms
River. where there is even less dan
ger of running into a customs unit
and where there is better traffic con-
| nection, then the charge is double.
The menhaden fishermen are also
reaping a harvest. The fish is con-
verted into fertilizer after being
seined. The fishermen are supposed
to obey the law which says they
must stay at least two miles off the
coast. But they do their seining
about a mile of shore. The rum run
ners cruise in about the same vicin-
age and the excess crews are placed
aboard the fishing boats to be taken
ashore with the wriggling cargo.
Price, SI5 q Head.
Once on the fertilizer wharf the
alien is safe. He may stay few days
doing odd jobs in an aroma which is
| indescribable and unforgetable. or he
| may leave at once for the interior
The price the manhaden men charge
for landing the alien is about SIS. with
any gratuity the alien may care to
bestow.
A similar condition, though to a
much lesser extent, prevails along

has agreed to withdraw, the term
for continuing occupation would not
seem to be q matter Of vital differ
ence. A compromise is surely possi-
BILE and probable.
In the case of both the French and
German delegates to the conference
domestic politics govern their ac-
tions. The French premier has gone
a long way from the established pol
icy Of his government in consenting
to a definite withdrawal, and he must
do all he can to save his face at home
by not going too far. The German
chancellor has likewise gone a long
way in accepting the reparations plan,
and he cannot 60 much faster or fur
ther without putting his government
in jeopardy from the Nationalist and
Socialist elements in the Reichstag.
One year! A few months! France
may well yield for the sake Of the
settlement which will be established
certain to bring about a great i'm
provement in the economic conditions
in that country. Germany may as
well accept that this present plan is
the best possible and make the best
Of the bargain. French troops will be
withdrawn in good season. The pres
tige Of getting the time shortened by
even a little would probably satisfy
the political elements at Berlin.
The world awaits the final act Of
settlement with eagerness and hope.
Much depends upon the outcome. Re-
Mobilization in general affairs is GER
tain to follow. A possible cause of con-
fiict will have been removed. This
country, upon which the financial
terms Of the agreement will react, is
especially hopeful Of an early con-
cluSion.

Reparations Reactions.

London's reparations conference is
marked by one crisis after another.
IN almost regular rhythm come the
EIterrStions of confidence and despair.
S,cst at present the despair note is
sounded, somewhat less definitely
within few hours as the conditions
appear to clear up a bit favoring set
clement. The ultimate success Of the
conference in the settlement Of all
disputes and the formal, final adop-
zion of the reparation plan, while not
positively assured, seems reasonably
certain, in view Of the great progress
chat has been made during the past
fortnight.
The immediate cause Of doubt lies
n the refusal of the French to agree
20 withdraw from the Ruhr in less
than year and the insistance of the
Germans upon withdrawal in a much
s1W11 tlAs. Inasmuch as france
