CAFE GIVES PLACE TO APARTMENT HOUSE

The New York Times tells the story
of the passing of another famous land
mark of the city. The story says:
For half century or more a neat
thrce-story building, the chief feature of
which was its we'll patronized cafe or
saloon, has stood on the northeast cor
ner of Park Avenue and 53rd street. 1t
covered plot of 25.5 feet on Park Ave
nue. by 20 feet on the street 1t did
good business until the Volstead law
menaced its future. :.
On the site of this old saloon building
there is now under construction fifteen
story apartment house, probably the tall

est house with expensive apartments on
so small plot in the city. There are
thirteen and fourteen story houses on
plots rs to 100 feet, but here is a fifteen
story structure in the most expensive sec
ton of the avenue and whose modest
suites of four rooms and two baths will
cost tenants $4,000 to $1,000
Besides acquiring the privilege to live
there for that sum, the satisfaction of
knowing that the building has wiped out
another place of drink and the satisfac-
ton of looking over at the Racquet and
Tennis Club will doubtless be additional
advantages.

during the war, but T. emphatically protest
against the use of foreign money within
the bounds of the United States Of Amer
lea TO break down our Constitution and
to trample our flag in the dust. If they
have money enough to support the vets
in their fights against our government in
the United States, they ought to get to-
gether enough money somehow to pay
their debts to us.
Whisky and alcohol are not provincial
they are national and International, and,
as far as possible, what liquor gets it
holds It deals with the individual, with
the nation and with the world, and we
might as we'll face that fact now as later
on. The alcoholic liquor traffic that ruled
the states of our Union, one by one, max
ing the laws of these states by e1ecting
and voting members of the legislatures,
will not fail to enter into the world fight;
the alcoholic whisky traffic that for scores
of years held in the hollow of its hand
the national law-making bodies of this
country with an outraged citizenship
looking on, will give up the fight in the
world only after it has been compelled
to do it.
In Illinois, back in the year 1915, a
Chicago saloonleeper, who by the control
of liquor was the most powerful leader in
the legislature of that state, when he no.
ticed the rise of the decent citizenship of
the state causing his power to fade away,
put forth supreme effort to rally his cor
rupt political forces by calling a confer
ence of the wet members He told them
what was happening; he warned them
that the church people of the state would
soon be influencing the action of the legis-
lature. He said, when these people get
into control they will paddock every sa-
loon in the state" He lauded the brave
fight the vets had made and praised them
in stating that for II years not single
line of legislation had been written into
the statute books of that state of Lincoln
that had not been consented to by all or
part of the liquor men of the state, and
then with a wall of lamentation said.
Think of what this new regime will
mean? Are we, the vets, going to give
up this power and control that has been
ours so long and submit to the people of
the state who are out of sympathy with
the saloon business?"
At the close of previous session of the
legislature, the Chicago Tribune, wet
sheet, the recipient of the well-earned title
of "the worlds wettest newspaper" but
not SO wet at that time as it is now, ran
cartoon picturing an iron man as a liq-
uor tyrant with gavel in hand, sitting in
the speakers chair, ruling the Illinois leg
islature. The editorial said that the smell

of liquor was on every whit of legislation
that was enacted by that legislative body,
and asked the question, "How long will
the people of this state content themselves
under such domination?"
Just Like American Vets
The liquor interests of the world are
not now nor ever will be different in pol
icy and principle from the policy and prin-
ciple that characterized, and still charac-
terizes, the liquor traffic of America The
defying, dynamic, deceitful and deter
mined liquor traffic Of the nations of the
world will be just as great a foe of the
church, the home and the state in the
different nations until this whole fight is
finished as it has been in the years that
have gone by. The line between the
vets and the drys OF the world is bat
tie line and it is far-fung battle line
The drys of the world are also looking
upon the demonstration that is being
given as to prohibition in the United
States. They turn naturally to Our
country for the facts, we being the first
big nation to try out prohibition. The first
question the missionary asks when Wis
tied by an American is, How is prohi-
bition succeeding at home" He realizes
that the growing liquor traffic in India,
Egypt, China, Japan, and other mission
airy fields will soon control their country
if prohibition fails i'll America He real
ICES also more fully than many of us do
here that the fight is worldwide and that
their destinies are in our hands. Miss
Mary Campbell, OF Putankot India, after
spending more than a score years as a
missionary under the womans board of
her church, asked her board to release
her in order that under the direction of
the Woman's Christia4 Temperance
Union she could go back into the fields
where she had spent so much of her life
in working for the missionary cause and
fight to keep the liquor traffic from COM
ing into control of the community in
which she had given her energies for her
Christ. She did this because she fully
realized that unless the liquor traffic was
kept from making the Roadway it was
determined to make II that country, the
years of service she had rendered would
be lost.
The business world also has its eyes
fixed on the United States. 1t wants to
succeed in the business world and knows
full we'll that no nation drunk can sue
cessfully compete with the United States
sober, and it fully realizes that today
with inventions, looking upon the prob
lem from the business standpoint, that
the most isolated nation is as near
neighbor to us now in the business world
as was the closest state SO years ago.
The political world is looking, as we'll,
on the United States of America. 1t sees

Educational World Looking

Probably the most interested spectator
is the educational world. 1t is looking to
the United States in al. effort to face the
facts and decide correctly whether Pres
ident Butler, who says the liquor traffic
will be back in action in the United
States within FIVE years, is right or
whether on the other hand President
Eliot, who was not originally a prohibi-
ZIONIST but when he had carefully
analysed the results of prohibition is
right when he declares prohibition ire
mendous success. The educational world
will decide this question on the facts
given to them, and without question of
a doubt one of the most important tasks
before us today is to prove to the educa-
tional world that prohibition is a great
benefit and blessing to our country and
will prove the same to the whole world
when given the opportunity. This can
not be given by the news gathered from
the wet New York and Chicago papers.
The big difficulty in world publicity to-
day is seen in that many people of other
countries think the metropolitan papers
represent public opinion, when instead
they are often the voice of the appetite Of
the news or editorial writer.
With this great cloud of witnesses"
looking on, the demonstration is being
made The world stadium is filled, the
crowds are on their feet and the outcome
will be determined III the answer we give
to the second question they see?"
Belief in Prohibition
They must see a belief in prohibition.
The chief handicap we carry today in the
prohibition world is a skepticism on the
part of those who are or who should be
the chief defenders of prohibition. Too,
many are half-hearted. If we really be-
lieved in prohibition as we ought to be-
lieVe in it, we would gladly put our pock-
etbooks between it and failure, and the
World League, the National League, the
State Leagues and the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union, fighting to give
prohibition a chance, would have the
money it needs with which to put on a
real program. Instead of merely touch
ing the "hem of the garment" as we are
now. SO often compelled to do, real fight
coming out of real belief in prohibition
could be made and would be made
If we really believe in prohibition, our
very lives would be put between this
great cause and the 1awless element of
our country who are seeking to break
down prohibition here and hold back pro-
hibition from the world. The question is,
How do you believe i'll this cause?" If
the ministers attending this conference
really, sincerely and absolutely believed in
prohibition, the power of Gods church,
whose destinies are largely shaped by the
minister himself, would be put back of
this movement in such way as would
give prohibition to the world in this gem
Grafton. If the elders and workers in
your churches back home really believe
in prohibition, how about your influence
toward en1isting your church in this for
ward movement of this age in which we
live? The question that you and l need
to solve and to solve it with our own
hearts and our own lives is, "How much
do we really and honestly believe in pro-

make good as to prohibition?' God has
again honored our great country by giving
it chance to become beacon light to the
other nations of the world in prohibition.
In no other field has the opportunity been
so marked as in this one. The United
States will give prohibition TO the world
in this generation or by its failure hold
back the world from the benefits OF pro-
hibition for a century Or more. Uncle Sam
has unfurled 10 the breezes the banner of
prohibition, and if he rings true TO his
record he will never permit that spotess
flag to touch the ground.
II we make good, the world will see in
the United States a demonstration that
will convince even the most skeptical ma
ton that prohibition, economically, so
cially, morally and politically, is the great
est achievement recorded in the hstor!
of the nation, Before the eyes of the
world it IS our solemn duty to present
such a demonstration as will win for pro.
hibition in this generation.
As we consider this task, two things
come before our vision First: Who are
looking? Second: What do they see7
Among those who look are the World
Vets
The World vets are challenging both
the ability and stability of the United
States government in building an interna-
tional liquor organization. The traffic in
liquor has invaded every land and is rap
idly perfecting an international alcoholic
traffic.
In October, 1922, from Naples, Italy,
the bold announcement was made by the
liquor interests of Southern Europe and
the information given out in an Associated
Press notice that the vets had raised
fund of many millions OF franks for the
purpose of using it in assisting the vets
in making their fight everywhere, and they
showed the real purpose of their move
ment when they added, Especially in the
United States of America where prohibit
ton is now on trial" saying in that same
connection that if it wins out in the United
States they could not hold back the coun-
tries of Europe from following the exam
pie. In this fear they justified in their
minds the launching of the worldwide
wet movement.
These same liquor interests held their
biennial, international congress in the Sa-
voy Hotel, London, England, in June Of
this year, and the minutes of that con-
gTess record no retraction from the inter-
national policy established by them two
years previous.
Foreign Money Used
When the vets brought on the referen-
dunn election in Ohio last year and put
forth their tremendous effort to take Ohio
from the dry column, the Superintendent
of the OhioLeague at that time, James A.
White, gave out the information that some
OF this boosted foreign money was in Ohio
in fulhllmert of the promise given to the
public a year previous that they would
spend the money from Europe to help the
vets in the United States. When we get
into the referendum fights this fall in Mas
sachusetts and in Michigan, or in any,
other state, this same wet, foreign money

AMERICAN CARS
ARE DOMINATING
FOREIGN MARKETS
Number of American Motor Vehicles
Exported in 1923 Greatly Ex-
ceeds Foreign Shipments
of Previous Year

The baility to produce quality cars
on quantity basis is the underlying
reason why the United States leads
the nations of the world in the manu-
facture of automobiles. American cars
with few exceptions, compete success
fully with the automobiles of the coun-
try into which they are SHIPPED, and
even in one or two countries, where
seHiously handicapped by thigh i'm
port duties, many American cars are
sold.
Nearly "a percent OF all the motor
vehicles registered in the world in
1922 were manufactured in this coun-
try. Although final figures are not
yet available it is conservative to say
that, with the large increase in Amer
ican automobile production in 1928,
approximately 90 per cent of all auto
mobiles now registered in the world
have been made in the United States.
American exports of motor vehicles
in 1922 represented 40 per cent of the
entire production of motor vehicles by
all other countries in the world for the
same year. American exports in that
year were 78,234-more than doubling
those Of the previous year-and fl
cures for 1928 will show large in
crease ovef 1922.
American cars enjoy many advanc-
ed features which made them more
serviceab1e and satisfactory to oper-
ate.
American Service Simplified
They are built along the same gen.
eral lines, first of all, and can be cas-
lily understood and repaired by me-
chanics European cars, on the other
hand, do not conform with any basic
standard, and as result, "freak" cars
appear on the foreign markets. This,
of course, makes it difficult to- OBJ
tain service.
European cars do not have as much
reserve power as the average Amer
ican automobile Where the Studeba-
ker Light-Six has an R. A. C. rating
of 23.4 H. P. the greatest number of
English and French cars have only
from to IS H. P. Because of their
small motors, the majority of Euro
pean cars are equipped with four
speeds forward, instead of three, with
the result that the driver must shift
from fourth to third speed in order
to climb the most ordinary hill. This
fact, and the added flexibility of Amer
inan-made motors, add favor to Amer
ican cars in the markets abroad.
Sometime ago European cars could
be operated with lower gasoline con-
sumption, due to the smallness of the
motors, but automotive engineers in
this country have almost completely
offset even this temporary European
advantage by decreasing the fuel con-
sumption required by the powerful
American-made cars.
Generally speaking, European auto
mobiles have a lower road clearance
than American cars. This is of little

Varieties OF Cotton
For South Georgia

he Georgia Coastal Plain Experi-
re" Sat'o" =, Tifton, Georgia, has
been conducting tests for the past
tnree years t. determine desirable va
riet1es of cotton for South GEORGIA
results from various soil types show
that no one variety of cotton is suited
TO all conditions and climate thruou+
the State. Some varieties of cotton
may produce we'll in other sections
and yet be poor yie1ders when grown
on the sandy soils in the coastal plains
region. The selection of variety.
therefore, which is Adapted to the
soil and climate of South GEORGIA is
an important consideration in econo-
mic production.
In selecting cotton variety to he
grown in South Georgia, it is sug-
gested that pure seed be planted which
possess as nearly as possible the fol-
lowing characteristics.
Wilt or black root" resistance.
Earliness in setting fruit
Good size boil.
Continuous fruiting over a long
period.
Good length staple
High percentage of lint.
In many cases losses are sustained
from wilt or "black root" where re-
sistant varieties are not planted. Va
rieties which set a crop of bolls early
and continue to square thruout the
growing season made a better yield
at the Experiment Station than the
small boil varieties which were ex-
tremely early, put on a few bolls and
shed their foliage. The weevils seemed
not to be forced to feed on immature
bolls so much on the varieties that
continued to produce squares over a
long period. A good size boil, good
length of staple, and high percentage
of lint are points that should be borne
in mind in selecting a variety of cot
ton.
Below are given the names of the
varieties tested over three year per-
iod and the average yield of seed cot
ton per acre from a field where boil

years 1921, 1922 and 1928:
