More Thar, go Pct.
OF Liquor Seized
Is Held Spurious

More than go per cent OF the
liquor being seized by prohibition
officers throughout the country is
spurious, and large part of it Is
actually poisonous, Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes declared to-
day on the basis of analysis made
by chemists of the Internal Rev.
enue Bureau.
Seven million gallons Of Illicit
liquor were seized during the year,
he said, and 10000 samples were
analysed. representing fairly the
kind of liquor now on the market
and including seizures from every
State.
The commissioner declared his
forces had kept SO constantly after
the bootleggers, moonshiners and
concocterS of synthetic compounds
that they We're forced to put their
product on the market in a raw
state, most deIeterious to the con-
sumer." He added that 10000
stills and parts of stills were con-
fiscated last year and that the
breaking UP of moonshining and
the decrease in the diversion of
Industrial alcohol to bootleg chan
nelS had turned the Illicit vendor
to the smuggler for supplies. With
the Coast Guard rapidly getting
the smugglers under control, he
said, the Illicit supply is growing
less each day.

The association first came into be-
Ing In Boston. when a small group Of
women conceived the Idea of such a
general alumnae organization as the
surest way for graduated women to
improve educational facilities for the
college women who were to follow
them.
That was in 1881. The following
January the first constitution Of the
association was adopted and officers
were elected. the first president be-
ing Mrs. Jennie Field Bashford. Eight
colleges and universities were repre-
sented by the II women who attend
ed that meeting. The following year
&c women were present.
Has Many Chapters.
Since that time the association has
grown until II has a chapter in most
of the more important cities. and its
national headquarters has been per-
manently established In Washington
because of its educational impor-
tance as the Capital. l twas here that
the first branch was formed, too.
There were 16 branches in 1893; to-
day there are ESQ, covering every
State in the Union and six foreign
countries.
There are now more than 21,500
members, and the present budget ex-
ceeds $4,000 a year, compared with
the first one of about $500
The organization, at first purely
voluntary, now has a headquarters
staff of fourteen people. which take
care of a correspondence of about
100 letters day, containing in
quiries on all sorts of subjects. There
are also II fellowships administered.

The American Association of Uni
verSity Women has done much to-
ward the creation of the office of
dean of women in the coeducational
universities. 1t has insisted on hav-
ing the dean a regular member of the
faculty of rank above instructor. and
has also required that she be a mem
Der of such committees as the com
mittee on administra ton" Largely
due to the efforts of the American
Association of University Women. po-
litical science was placed in the cur
riculum of women's colleges.
Also physical education for women
was introduced in the coeducational
universities, and proper living condi-
tions for the woman students were
insisted upon. The promotion and
tenure of woman faculty members
have been, and are. subjects of study.
