Mineral Cargoes Constitute Seaports Greatest
 .s: Advantage Over Rivals -

part of Indiana and the eastern half of Mississippi. This area includes the most fertile agricultural section of the United States and many important manufaeturin centers; in addition to the coal and iron fields of the Birming- ham district! 5s-
 Mobile is the nearest seaport to St. Louis, distance 647 miles. It is the nearest tidewater to Des Moines, Iowa. It is nearer to St. Paul, Minn., than is any other port of entry in the United States. It is only 949 miles from Du- buque, Iowa, and is closer than any other seaport to Louisville, Chatta- nooga and Memphis.
 The position of Mobile, with refer ence to many important foreign ports is equally advantageous. The short rail haul of export freight from point of origin to the seaboard is material ad- vantage, but the distance from the port to the point of ultimate destination also is a matter to be considered.
 A study of the Photographic charts shows that Mobile again has the inside ence to many important ports of the WOEIu IHdL sEeCelfe IHS pFOuuCtS iOl America.
 Mobile is nearer to Honolulu than its livals, Galveston, New Orleans and Jacksonville. It is nearer to Sydney than are they. The same can be said of Cape Town, Colon, Callao, Val. paraiso and Belize. Mobile is nearer than in any other gulf port of impor. tance to Gibraltar, Bordeaux. Rotter- dam,, Liverpool, Rio de Janerio, Port au Prince, Saint Thomas, ports of Spain and Shanghai, China.
 Advantage In Distance
 A study of the map and world trade routes shows that Mobile has the ad- vantage in distance to all ports on the west coast of Central America and South America and something better than an even break with it's rivals of the gulf with relation to tLe ports of the world to be reached by way of the Panama canal, and also in distance from the principal ports of Europe with which this section has commercial relations.
 Short Route to the Gulf
 The railroad distance from Mobile to some interior localities are:

EARLY MARRIAGE URGED BY CHARLES E. ELIOT
President Emeritus of Harvard, Or 90th Birthday. Gives Advice To
 Young People

Cambridge, Mass, March 21.-- Service to country. joy in work and early marriage were enjoined upon Harvard undergraduates by President Emeritus Charles w. Elliot in his ad- dress to the students which brought to close the public tribute to the aged educator in honor of his 90th birth day yesterday. Speaking from tenn porary stand erected in the Harvard yard, pr. Eliot said that the messa ge he wanted to give to the thousands of young men gathered there was: Serve the country, serve her in peace as well as in war, serve her by sacrificing money, for example. high professional earnings, in order to take public office. elective or appointed of flee. Serve her by your personal ex- ertion in the towns, the cities and communities where you settle for life. XX
 ''use the opportunity of selecting studies which you have at Harvard to find out while you are here in what work. in what profession, you can find joy in your work all your life. \ The chief satisfaction of my life has come out of the joy in work. \
 Avoid to the utmost introspection. Avoid dwelling on your own state of mind. NX
 ''Do not put off marriage too much. Do not wait until you think you can offer the girl you want to marry all the luNuries and privileges to which in her fathers home she was accus- toned. When you have made up your mind give tho girl a chance to tell you hers. xxx
 'I wish for you all the attainment of a life of happiness. You cannot all expect to live as long as have lived, but I hope you will all live long enough to experience the kind of hap piness I have enjoyed today"

OF VITAL IMPORTANCE

Ii is quite possible that if you are driving a car along the road at any time. day or night. and. feeling the need of food, stop at one Of the many inns that you pass and order meal, you will put yourself in danger of be- ing arrested no matter how innocent Of wrong you may be. This, because the law may be interpreted that the propriety Of srresting "freausnters" Of place where liquor is sold will be upheld.
 II would seem that a mere state ment Of this situation would be sufii- cient to show how unjust morally and rthically. would be such an interpre- tatlon. The unfortunate part Of it is that law is law" and judges are hound by precedent except on occa- sions. ir the highest courts where the justices do reverse themselves and re- fuse to be bound by former decision Of their own. This is brought about by technical legal reasoning where the judges feel that there is need Of a change from some too-strict rule for meriy laid down by them.
 Locally there Is case the decision Of which is of vital importance to everyone. members Of inc Civic league as well az members of leagues or clubs which do not dignify themselves by such ambitious titles. II is quite prob able that if some prominent member of New Brltain's Civic safety League were hungry and stopped at an inn to psrtake of food. he would be able to convince the officers ef the law that he vas Innocent Of wrong and would he able to escape without unpleasant pnbiicity. But he would be doing wrong. nevertheless II is possible. on the other hand. that some official as imprsEnsted with the spirit of reform as he himself. would refuse 10 5e lsnIrut and would haul this prominent member Of New Brit aims Civic safety. or safety Civic whichever it may oe--to dursnce vile.

FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
COolight Tells Association Against Prohibition Amendment For Modifi- cation Where He Stands.

Washington, Jan. 21. - A request from delegates to the face the facts convention of the association against the prohibition amendment, for modi- fication of the prohibition laws was met by President Coolidge with a de- claration that he stood for flaw en- forcement."
 At the conclusion of the opening session of their convention, the dele gates called at the White House and presented through Senator Bayard of Delaware, and Archibald Hopkins. chairman of the association's execu- tive committee, a memorial declaring their stand absolutely for law and order" for the impartial execution of law as the preservative of the citi- zen's liberty" and for modification of the existing dry laws,
 The president. in reply, ignored the request for modification. expressed his qualification that the assoication stood for law and order. and an- nounced his determination to enforce the laws in accordance with his oath of office
 His remarks were made privately to the delegates and were not made public by the White House.

themselves as such-received money or land grants, and other emolument for services, as great as theirs. The sin cerity of the anti, granted, in the face of evidence to the contrary. viz: &C., ceptance of discharge bonus of sixty dollars, awaits another test, in which it is promised blindness will occur as to the first, if they offend no more and which will be accompanied by the much. discernment of other exservice- men. The bonus will shortly pass and the moment for honorable deci-2 sion will have arrived. Honorable men who have opposed the bonus will not then, of course. indulge in what thought of that time, others are talk ing it, we might as we'll" However, the average compensation of the anti is suspiciously low: so low, in fact, that it is regarded as but a small price for the limelight of the present, and so low, indeed, that the case may actually be made out that an anti is, in reality, bonus advocate; this, in the sense, that having received the small discharge bonus, which, in no case, has been returned, he now fears to find himself on the debit side of the ledger. For his information. how ever. it is pointed out that the pre- vions bonus cannot apply on future compensation unless il tcompensa- tiom be greater than that sum. which, it is hoped, will not happen in the case of a single anti, because it is wished that he shall not burn his fingers.

GRAND JURY WILL
 REPORT NEXT WEEK
Foreman Holden Announces Pre-
 sentiment for Superior Court

Hartford, Jan. 21,-A plesentment
 will be made to the superior court by the extraordinary grand jury investi-
 gating the alleged fradulent Sd physi-
 cians practicing in Connecticut follow Ifng the session of the grand jury next
 week. This was announced today by
 Foreman Benedict NJ. Holden who be-
 lieves the work of the jury has pro-
 gressed to the point where a present.
 ment to the court which created it is warranted. This presentment will be
 in the nature of a report of tho infor- nation that has been gathered by the
 concentrations relative to prosecu- tions, if any are deemed warranted.
 The jury will resume its sessions on January 2S, and will continue its de- Alterations sufficiently long to permit tho examination of some very import ant witnesses and records that will be laid before 1t. It is confidently eN- peeted. however the jury will recess again before the end of the week, to resume its inquiry whenever the occa- sion seems to warrant.
 Harry T. Brundige, reporter on the St. Louis Star, who started the probe in Connecticut after he had purchased diplomas in Missouri through the di- pioma mill, will again be a witness before the grand jury on Monday. The information Mir. Brundige is ex- pected to reveal to the grand jury this time is expected to be the clinching point against the Missouri colleges concerned in the diploma mills which had such a bearing on the investiga- ton in Connecticut.
 Senator Charles c. Cook Of West Hartford and George A. Harmon of Suffield appointed a committee of ihe grand jury 10 investigate the Middle sex college of medicine and surgery at Cambridge and the Boston college Of physicians and surgeons are ex- pectcd 10 go 10 Boston tomorrow to make their investigations. They will report to the jury the results of their trip on next Monday. This is the only committee of the jury which has been appointed up to this time for the in- vestigation of any Of the colleges from which graduates have been received into. Connecticut.
 Dr. Son, prominent eclectic physi- elan is coming to Hartford from his home at Benneterre, Missouri, to re- rort on his investigations of the Kan sas City college of medicine and sur gerry and the St. Louis college of phy- sicians and surgeons. Dr. Son was re- auostcd by Governor Hyde Of Missouri 10 ma+e this investigation and it is he reported that neither college taught eclectic medicine al- though both have diplomas as such, and on the strength of these diplomas licenses to practice in Connecticut were issued to approximately i50 phy- sicians.
 Another witness who may possibly appear before the grand jury next week is Miss Mccall, an assistant 10 the United States attorney general. If she does come to Hartford she will bring records turned over 10 the de- partment Of justice by the post office department Two postal inspectors who have been investigating charges that the mails of the United States were used for purposes Of fraud, may also appear before the jury.
