SAYS EDUCATION
IS DRY LAW NEED
Enforcement Head Declares
Training Must Offset
Present Demand.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOUISVILLE, December 30.-Satis-
factory enforcement of the dry law
can come only through conjunction of
the process of eeducation, training
and experience against alcoholic bev-
erages and persistent prosecution of
the laws violators, Assistant Score
tary Moss of the Treasury declared
here last night in a speech at the an
nual dinner of the Louisville Bar AS
sociation.
Recognizing that complete enforce
ment may be accomplished only
through sticking continually at it,"
Judge Moss, who has jurisdiction over
prohibition enforcement, asserted that
meanwhile, the Government is at
tempting TO deal with conditions as
they are and under laws which are
perhaps not ideal" He added, how
ever that evidence of good progress
was constantly coming to him and he
had faith in the future.
Judge Moss set forth a long list of
the troubles with which the enforce
ment officers are daily confronted. He
said that some of these have been
slowly disappearing, but there has
always been a new crop to which at
tention must be given Immediately.
"It must be conceded" said the
Treasury official, that there is on
the part of a large percentage of our
population continuing, insistent
demand for the use of Intoxicating
beverages Government cannot cor
rect that condition. To the reflective
mind 1t must be Immediately ap-
parent that this can only be achieved
through the process of education,
training and experience. This is the
task for the school, the church and
the parent.
Let US assure you that Govern
ment officials are not deceived as to
the size of the problem nor as to the
difficulties of its solution. But the
United States is committed to a
policy of national prohibition. 1t is
fundamental law of the land and it
will not be permitted to fail"
Judge Moss referred to the quick
and certain profits in the. illegal traf-
fic, the difficulties of obtaining con-
vfctions in some communities, the
buying off of enforcement agents
"the attitude of certain states toward
the law" the Indifference with which
the law is treated by thousands ''whc
otherwise are good and patriotic citi.
zefls," and the bold challenge" OF
citizens of other nations who have
populated rum row off the Atlanti,
Coast. These conditions, he asserted
stirred the righteous Indignation OF
every patriotic red-blooded American
citizen and he vouchsafed that they
would be obliterated if it can be dont
under law.
Despite the many influences al
work, Judge Moss said, he proposed
to, fight for enforcement of the dry
law with equal vigor and equal inn.

Famous Artists
Act of Reuenge
Revealed in Spain,

Features of Priest
After Lawsuit.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOLEDO, Spain, December 30.-A
curious incident involving FL Greco, the
Greek painter who became famous in
Spain in the sixteenth century, is re-
vealed by an investigation of the life
and work of El Greco which is being
made by Garcia Rey, a writer.
According to Rey, Ell Greco began
the painting Christ Crueified," but,
because of lawsuit over the price
with Andreas Nunez, cure of St.
Thomas, Madrid, he painted the
priests face over the features of
Christ. This painting of Christ with
the features of Nunez was for a time
hung in the church at Navalperal, and
now is in the village of Martin Munoz,
in the church of the same name.
Senior Rey came upon the discovery
in an investigation he undertook to
ascertain who inspired Ell Greco's
famous painting, The Burial of Count
Orgaz." He found that it was painted
at the behest of the same Andreas
Nunez, who was executed in 1886.
