Magnetic Machine Lays
Nails Out for Packing

It is reported that a Swiss inventor
has produced a machine that by mag
netism arranges nails In parallel lay
ers ready for packing. 1t works on
the principle that all linear iron OBJ
jects in magetic field arrange them
selves automatically In the direction
of the lines Of force. The machine can
also be used to arrange wire rods,
hairpins, knife blades, pens and fish,
hooks. The packages to be filed by
the machine may be the standard type
Of nail keg, wooden boxes or paper
cartons. II is probable that the ten
pound cardboard package will super
sede the old-fashiOned nail keg, be-
cause 1t costs less, weighs less and is
more convenient. The machine con-
sists of two parts-paralleling plat
form and a feed trough above it,
which Is fitted with a shaking mechan-
ism. The articles to be packed are
poured into the feed trough in lots of
about 1000 pounds, and, by the action
of the shaking mechanism, are moved
to the front of the trough, where they
drop into the parallelIng platform.
That consists of tray, each side Of
which forms one pole of an electro
magnet. The articles as they fall are
drawn into the direction of the mag
netic lines of force, which adjust them
at once in parallel lines.

Relics of the Bruce

A find of an interesting character
has been made on the field where the
famous battle of Bannockburn was
fought in 1914, and where, it Is
claimed, Scotland won its independence
as a nation. Three sharp-poInted
wooden stakes in an excellent state OF
preservation have been discovered
three feet below the surface on a piece
of land formerly known as the Milton
Bog.
This bog is referred to in the chron-
icles Of the battle, history recording
that King Robert the Bruce of Scot
land had pits made In the bog and
pointed stakes placed in them to stay
the progress of the English cavalry.
and 1t is a matter of history or ira
dItion that this device proved to be
very successful These stakes, which
were found standing upright in the
soil, are regarded as genuine, and are
now being treasured as historical rec
ords in the ancient town of Stirling.

Barbados Man Travels
10000 Miles for Wife

The course of true love, famed for
its failure to run smooth, has estab-
lished a record in the case of w. Percy
Emtage, electrical engineer of the Bar
bados, says the New York World. II
carried him 10000 miles.
Three years ago Emtage first saw
Sibyl Peterkin, also of the Barbados,
and set out to get an introduction. He
succeeded and followed 1t with a pro-
posal. Miss Peterkin said she would
love to be his sister and then packed
up and departed for Boston.
Both wrote, Emtage's letters were
pleading: Miss Peterkin's friendly and
discouraging. Finally she quit writing
altogether. Her last letter explained
he was mice boy, but"
This was six months ago and EN-
tage decided Boston might be interest
ing. He went there Miss Peterkin
had gone to Los Angeles Emtage
went to Los Angeles, but she had left
for San Francisco. He followed, but
she had returned to Boston.
Cheerfully he started back across
the continent, only to find she had quit
Boston for Brooklyn. He found her
there In the home of her uncle, Ed
ward Pyle.
Thep Miss Peterkin gave up. They
were married recently in the Munich
pal building, New York.

First LeUiafhan Was Failure

The first attempt to provide trans
atlantic travellers with a vessel that,
in size and magnifcence, would be q
floating hotel, was made in the build
ing of the Great Eastern. The launch
ing of this huge ship, for some time
called the Leviathan, was commenced
November 2, 1857. but owing to the
difficulty OF moving the enormous
weight, the vessel was not finally
afioat until early in 1853.
The secret of managing so large a
liner had not yet been learned, and
the Great Eastern was from the FIRST
a white elephant to her owners. Her
only real service was in the laying of
Atlantic cables. She made her last
voyage IS years ago. and was then

ayers have ceased worrying about
the Cleveland nomination and are
concentrating on patching up
various fractional differences within
the Republican Party with view to
presenting a unit front at the polls
in November. The nomination by
acclamtion may not be possible be-
cause of Senator LaFollette's Wis
consin delegates and Senator John
sons scattered following, but the
forst ballot should tell the story. The
biggest job at Cleveland will be the
writing of the platform, but this
document will be short and to the
point and will consume little time in
the drafting. Most of it in fact,
will be dictated by the President next
month.

Pageant VIII Attract Thousands ol
Tourists

Warning is given this city by the
Apostle Islands Indian Pageant
Corporation to prepare to care for
at least double the automobile tourist
travel of any previous year. This
warning has been sent to the COM
mercial and civic organizations on
all the main highways in Wisconsin,
for the reason that estimates from
the railroads, tour bureaus, and from
the inquiries received from every
state in the union, indicate that more
than half a million tourists will at
tend the Indian Pageant at the
Apostle Islands between the list and
21st of next August.
The Indian Pageant at the Apostle
Islands is at this time the widest ad-
vertised tourist attraction in
America 1t bids fair in its first
year to rival the Mardi GIas, From
tier Days, and other similar en-
tertainments. 1t is the first big
definite tourist attraction % the
Middle West, and as such, will bring
more millions of dollars into Wis
consin in one summer than have
heretofore been expended in any
two or three years.

May "a, 1924.
Editor, Chicago Daily Journal,
Chicago, Illinois. .
Dear Sir:
In your paper of May y, find the
following headline: Wheeler Admits
Drunkenness in 100 Cities Exceeds That
of Wet Days." and in the article itself this
statement is made: Then, reluctantly
revealing statistics he had been ordered to
produce, he was compelled to put in the
record statements that during the last four
years of prohibition drunkenness has in
creased steadily in 100 representative cities
and now far surpasses drunkenness i'll the
hard liquor days of 1910, for example"
These statistics were furnished volun-
tari1y by ME and not reluctantly re-
vealed." They showed that Judge Gem
mills estimate of an annual decrease of
100000 in drunkenness arrests throughout
the country was very conservative, the
records of the 100 cities revealing very
much greater decrease in the prohibition
period as compared with the wet years.
The later prohibition years do show an
increase in arrests over the first prohibit
ton years, due to several causes. During

the days when we had saloons arrests for
drunkenness did not occur, as a rule, UNI
less the intoxicated person committed
some other ofense in connection with it
Under prohibition, in cities where the adj
ministration is opposed to prohibition,
they arrest on slight sign of intoxication
in order to make bad showing for pros
hibition. In other cities where the officers
are alert and want to enforce the law thor
oughly, they too arrest on slight signs of
intoxicaton in order to make the intoxi~
Gated person tell where he got the liquor.
In this way the arrests for intoxication aid
in the enforcement of the law.
The highest total of arrests in the dry
period is over $4,000 below the number in
1917, the last unrestricted wet year in the
100 cities and 81 900 below the number in
1910. Since 1910 these 100 cities have in-
creased about 100000 in population but
arrests for drunkenness in 1922 were 1000
fewer than in wet 1910.
The statements and tables I offered to
the committee showed these things, which
are quite the contrary OF the report you
published / am sure your fair play will

Question: Can the sale of liquors le-
ga1ly manufactured be prohibited with
out cornpensating the owner?
Answer: The Supreme Court declared
the power of Congress to enforce the
Eighteenth Amendment could be ex-
erted against the disposal for beverage
purpose of liquors manufactured before
the Amendment became effective, just as
it may be against subsequent manufac-
ture for such purpose and that the act
denying compensation to the owners
thereof was constitutional
Question: Is there any inherent right
in individuals to possess liquor?
Answer: The United States Supreme
Court has held that the right to hold in
toxicating liquors for personal use is not
one of those fundamental privileges of
citizen of the United States which no
state may abridge.
Question:: Why are beverage liquors
treated differently from other commod-
tiles?
Answer: The Supreme Court express
ed it thus: "On account of their we'll
known noxious qualities and the extraor-
binary evils shown by experience COM
monty to be consequent upon their use"
a state has power absolutely to prohibit
the manufacture, gilt, purchase, sale,
transportation or possession of intoxicat-
ing liquors.
Question:: Is there any danger that
useful or harmful commodities will be
inhibited by the same methods that liq-
uor is prohibited?
Answer: No. Chief Justice White
said q. the exceptional nature of
the subject Qiquor) here regulated is the
basis upon which the exceptional power
exerted must rest and affords no ground
for any fear that such power may be con-
stitutionally extended to things which it
may not, consistently with the guarantees
of the Constitution, embrace"

exempted light VINE and beer!
Answer: Such experiments had been
tried prior to national prohibition, notably
in Massachusetts, Georgia and Hawaii.
Actual experience showed the statute to
be incapable of enforcement with such an
exemption and the provision was repealed.
Question: Have the people of any of
the states ever voted on beer and wine
proposal? If so, with what result?
Answer: Michigan adopted prohibition
by $4,000 majority November 7, 1916, and
on April 7, 1919, defeated a light wine and
beer proposal by over 100000 majority.
Ohio adopted prohibition in 1913. A year
later when the soldiers had returned a
referendum was taken on 2.75 per cent
beer amendment and the dry majority
was increased. In the November election,
1922, a proposed beer and wine amend
ment to the Constitution of the state of
Ohio was defeated by majority of 18o,-
600. Similar results have been recorded in
Washington, Oregon, Colorado and Ari-
IONA.
Question: Is wine intoxicating?
Answer: Yes. The courts take ju-
dicial knowledge of the fact that wine is
an Intoxicating liquor, which is matter
of common knowledge"
Question: Is beer Intoxicating?
Answer: Yes. The Supreme Court of
Wisconsin in the case of Briffit VS. State
of Wisconsin, held:
when a witness in court uses the
4laa +o1r
notice that it means a malt and an intox-
icating drink. Such meaning will be a
presunlton of fact; ard in the meaning
of the word itself there will be prima facie
proof that it is malt or Intoxicating liq-
uor that is meant"
Question: Will us per cent beer in
toxicate?
Answer: By drinking an added guam
tity the same Intoxicating effect can be
obtained as by drinking ordinary beer
Question: Would a commission to de-
termine what amount of alcohol would
actually intoxicate help solve the prob
lem?
Answer: No. Because no two per-
sons are affected alike. Furthermore,
there is little agreement upon what con-
stitutes intoxication.
Question: What right have the peo-
pie to prohibit beverage intoxicants?
Answer: The Constitution of the
United States was adopted to promote
the general welfare 1t is the inherent
right of the people in a civil government
to prohibit any evil which detrimentally
affects the public health, peace and NOR
ais.
Question: Is there any illegal in
fringenent on the personal liberty of an
individual in preventing the manufacture
and sale and possession of beverage in
toxicants?
Answer: No. The Supreme Court of
the United States has repeatedly declared
that the right to manufacture and sell
liquor is not a privilege or immunity
which may not be abridged, and that the
possession of liquor may be prohibited
without violating any constitutional
right.
