Senate Passes Government Regu- latory Act Providing for Su.
 perytsion of Sale

Dublin, Dec 26.--The Free State governments bill to regulate the sale of drink has passed the senate. Among other things 1t restricts the hours ot sale to l3 day and puts clubs of all classes on the same footing as ordinary drink saloons as far as the serving Of liquor Is con- cerned,
 An interesting provision of the new law Is the standardiZing of the size of porter bottles. These bottles formerly averaged l2 to the gallon, but many publicans, while charging the same price per bottle, have re- gently been putting gallon into l6 bottles, This is the goyernment's 8 first attempt at promoting temper ance. Its next move, 1t Is an nounced, will be to diminish the number of drink shops There are l5,0o0 Of them ID the Free State. or one to every 250 ctzens Tn England the proportion is one to every 415, and In Scotland one for 695 It is hoped to reduce the Free States i5,00o by al least one. half, and commission Is being set up to determine how 1t can be done and how compensation Is to he pro. ylded,

TRANSIT HEARING
 RESUMED MONDAY
To Deal With Problems of Mu.
 nicipally,OWned System

New York, Dec. 26.--When the in- vestigation of the transit situation In New York city Ia resumed on Monday the question of the ability of the proposed municipally-owned subway system to operate under a 5-cent fare will be taken up.
 Further information will be sought on the plans for financing the pro- gram, outlined by Mayor Hylan, az tho result Of testimony offered last Tuesday by John H. Delaney. chair man of the city's board of transpor- tation, to the effect that the project ed Washington Heights line would cost more than twice as much per mile than any Of the subways bull, under dual contract between the city and the subway corporations.
 Calculation made by the state transit commission shows that the hve-cent fare would be impossible after the first three years on the the independent municipality owned sys, tenn Testimony given during the in' vsstigation showed that the proposed system would cost s1ss,000,o0o tc construct, to which must be added the accountants of the etate commis, sion figure, 70 to 50 per cent for the necessary equipment.
 Tho law creating the city transpor' tation board and giving the city power over transit construction spe' cincally provides that for the frs three years the fare ahall be fvt cents. and that any defcit shall bt paid out of taxes At the end O the three-year period the law pro vides to meet operating expenses bu to pay interest and amortization or the city's investment.

OXFORD BEAUTY MARRIED
 BY UGLY ARCHITECTURE
Beauty of old City and University Replaced by Modern
 Business Buildings

oxford. England, Dec, 2s.--rhs Roebuok on the Cornmarket, fa- nous in the days of coaching and well known to American tourists as one Of the old Inns of Oxford, Is to be torn down to make way for a Woolworth store. This is but one of the changes oxford is soon to know, for many of the old leases will soon expire and the stately timbered houses of the Broad and Holywell, with their carved facades and overhanging upper stories, will be replaced by modern shops and garages.
 Oxford Is no more the quiet re- treat of the scholar, but busy and dirty trading and manufacturing town, noted for the production of marmalade, beer and cheap motor cars The university which once held complete sway. enforcing order with its own police and bully ing all mere tradesmen, is now be- coming a secondary interest. The gown has fought the town for 500 years, often in pitched battles with swords and budgeons, but at last the town has won.
 From being one of the most beau tiful cities in Europe Oxford bids fair to become the ugliest. English architecture, and especially public and commercial architecture, has created very little of beauty in the past 200 years, and is not now changing its habits. In Oxford even the best efforts of noted modern architects have created only ugly and ill-proportioned piles ot stodgy Renaissance and hole-and corner Gothic. while the suburbs are one dreary wal! of the worst brick and gingerbread.
 The noise of street traffic has be, come 8, great nuisance to student! who want 10 work. Time was wher a noisy carter or drayman va! pretty sure 10 become the target O. : cloth-yard arrows shot from th' windows Of furious scholars, but to- day a regulation forbids the uee O bows and arrows except for inno cent sport and now the motoris may honk his loudest in safety.

SHIP WILL FOLLOW
 ROUTE OF DRAKE
To Sail From England OD New
 Years Day

London, Dec 2s.--ssiing over the seas in the wake Of Drake and In schooner hardly larger than that commanded by the sea rover Is the feat 10 be attempted by group Of adventurous twentieth century Eng. lishmen.
 An expedition of fourteen men un- der the command of Captain Nor man Wilkin of the Royal Naval Re- serve. will sail In the three-masted frigate Marian" on New Years Day from Appedore, the Devonshire port where Drake weighed anchor many years ago.
 Captain Wilkin will follow minute ly the route of his illustrious coun- tryman around the dangerous Straits of Magellan and up the Pacific coast, He and his comrades seek to prove that adventure Is not entirely con- fined to the screen and the stage.
 Hundreds of applications were re- ceived by Captain Wilkin for places on the Marian" and he spent eev- eral weeks in choosing the best IA mariners from the many desiring to go. With q few exceptions the crew are making the trip entirely for sd- venture.
 The mate, a native of Appledore has spent his 60 years on the seas and has never clipped on anything but sailing vessel
 The moving spirit Of the voyage John Henderson. Is an Engishman known in his country as an explorer He has mapped much of Borneo and the tslands south of India and China and has made many trips to little known parts of the world, He will be on board the Marian" as chroniclsr
 Henderson wants to make 9, few stops at the cities which have sprune up along the coasts along which Drake sailed and he hopes to gather together some data of Drake's trir miseing from the captains log book
 Sails will serve US better thar steam" he said. Time is no imme, diate object. Our equipment will be modern enough to include kinemo, tograph apparatus and cameras fol bringing back pictures, We shal drop down the Bideford river or New Years eve, as British eailorl sailed before, and we may see yol all again in five years time"
