Mr.. Gutson Borglum, who after
being dismissed on February rs from
his post as sculptor of the colossal
Stone Mountain Memorial near At
lanta, destroyed or ordered the de-
str,,ction of the designs and models
for the work, will be remembered
here for the speeches he made in Bis
marcl and through the state of
North Dakota, on behalf of the Nom
partisan League in general election
campaign some four or five years
ago.
One of his speeches here was on
the subject Of the aircraft frauds,
Mr.. Borglum having been appointed
by President Wilson late in 1917 as
his personal representative to inves-
tieate the Aircraft Board, and hav-
ing brought in a report charging that
nearly Il billion dollars had been
spent for aircraft without the de-
livery of a single plane. This report
precipitated the famous inquiry under
Charles Evans Hughes of the entire
governmental aviation program.

INCREASE OF
ALCOHOL UNDER
LAW OPPOSED
Senate Subcommittee Opposes
Increase Beyond One
Half One Per Cent

Washington, March 11.--Opposing
any increase above one-half of one
percent in the alcoholic content of
beverages, subcommittee of the
house alcoholic liquor traffic COM
mttee made public report recon-
mending enactment by the next con-
gress of legislation imposing heavier
penalties for prohibition law VIOLA
tions.
The subcommittee expressed the
opinion that "to increase the alec
holic content, but not to point
where it would become intoxica ting
in fact, would not satisfy those who
demand alcoholic stimulationsy and
would greatly increase the Difficult
ties of law enforcement"
Suggest Prison Sentence
Amendment Of existing laws to fix
a minimum fine and mandatory pri-
son sentence fo- first offenses for
manufacture and sale of alcoholic
liquor and increasing fines for, trans
portation and possession Of liquors,
was recommended.
The subcommittee, which was head
ed by Representative Hudson, Repub-
lican, Michigan, also proposed estab-
lishment of prohibition agency Sc
parate from any other bureau, that
prohibition agents be selected under
civil service, that the government
buy all bonded liquors in government
l. hot io%s n, G
for prohibition enforcement be suffi-
cient to place an adequate number
of agents in areas where enforcement
is difficult.
The problem of enforcement, the
report said, is not as great as many
sources antagonistic would infer. The
difficulties have been magnified
while the benefits have been taken
for granted, it stated, adding that
there is no evidence to Justify any
hope that the 18th amendment will
be repealed"
Nation Has Benefited
Enumerating with inadequate pro-
hibition, which the report said "were
secured with inadequate organization
and law enforcement machinery" it
listed reductions in violent crimes, a
decrease in the number of paupers,
an increase in thrift, improvements
Of the realty market, lower death
rate, improvement of the general
health of the nation and decrease
in insanity.
"fhe total number of arrests in
most cities shows considerable in
crease over preceding years." it said
but violations Of automobile or
traffic laws, sanitary regulations,
school laws, and other minor or
dinances make up the larger proper
ton Of these arrests"

SURE SIGN OF SPRING

To garden folk the first true touch
of the new spring is in the hardy
snowdrop, a spring elf from the
SHOWS of the Alps. To those who
roam the fields as winters SHOWS
disappear, there is even more posi-
tive proof in the catkins on many of
the bushes in meadow and swamps.
Many days ahead Of the guady
Forsythia, these early flower clus-
ters are proof positive the season of
flowers and birds is with us again.
writes Stephen T.. Hamblin, of the
Harvard Botanic Garden. in Nature
Maya zine of Washington. No one
plants any Of these as garden orna-
ment, few people note their dull
flower clusters, but because they APP
pear so early. even in advance of
more snowy flowers of some foreign
shrubs. they are worthy of our APP
probation at the end of every winter.
Several shrubs burst into activity
in mid March. The Alder leads in
size of it's flower clusters among
shrubs, though the April catkins of
some of the Aspens are even larger.
Clusters of red brown catkins held
still and half erect all the winter
now quickly become limp, lengthen
out, grow lighter in color, and send
out clouds of yellow pollen at every
jar.
There are two species Of Alder in
our northern sWamps. very much
alike, and only a botanist bothers
with the difference. The Smooth AL
der has leaves bright green both
sides, and grows in every wet spot
from Maine to Texas. The Hoary
Alder has it's leaves much paler be-
low and ranges from central Canada
to central United States.
There Is really no difference in the
looks of the pollen bearing catkins,
though the Smooth Alder is the first
to toss out its yellow dust. The tiny
clustered female catkins at the end
of the twigs are erect, however. as
are the old dried black cones of last
year. still on the plant, while the fe-
male catkins on the Hoary Alder are
dropping at the tips Of the twigs,
and the dried cones point downwards
rather than UP.
There are several tree Alders in
our northwest, and others in Europe
and Asia, worthy of planting as or
namental trees, with similar but
larger dustscattering catkins swing
ing out in April. Nobody is SO fool
ish as to plant our two eastern spe-
cies. They indicate every stream
and swamp, and are most eff
fective when shaking their yellow
dust down the neck of the early fish
erman.

if remember rightly-that in Port
land the attorney for the city ruled
that the city did not have the right
under the present law. Therefore. it
is wise and right TO pass this bill in

municipality does have the right,
and therefore support the motion Of
the gentleman from Bangor. Mr..
Holman.

ready for the question?
Mr.. BRAGDON of Perham: Mr..
Speaker and members of the House:
I realize the futility of. speaking upon
this question. At the committee
hearing we were told that among
other reasons why this bill should
pass was that it has received the
support of the Republican Party in
it's platform. that it was heartily en-
dorsed by the Governor of our State
and also by the great and glorious
Ku Klux Khan of the State of Maine.
And now that the gentleman from

leader of the House. and who. l as

for the Catholic Church.
