new SYSTEM FOR
AUTO LAUNDR|ES

A decided innovation in car clean
ing has been inaugurated for valley
folks by r. w. Wood at 407 West
Washington Street, where he operates
the New System Auto Laundry. The
New System is certainly all that the
name implies and visit is certain
to shatter ones fixed ideas of car
washing and cleaning.
The pressure system which is used
to thoroughly clean all parts of the
car, including the motor, is the only
one in the entire state. No heat or
steam is used in the process. Kero-
sene is driven with great force by
compressed air against the parts to
be freed from accumulated dirt and
grease, especial attention being paid
to the steering knuckles Each wash
job includes this removal of grease
from the steering unit
Special attention is paid to preserv-
ing the finish of the body, warm wa
ter and soap being used in this op-
Grafton, and every car turned out is
guaranteed to be entirely satisfactory
One of the many interesting fea-
lures pointed out by Mr. Wood in an
inspection of the plant was the up
holstery cleaning section. All uphol-
stery, floor rugs, ETC., of the cars
are cleaned by compressed air, and
are absolutely free from dirt and dust
before the car leaves
'The pressure system we use," said
Mr. Wood, "is the only real safe one
for engine cleaning. There is abso-
lutely no heat used in our cleaning
plant and no pressure is used directly
on the body finish -

Of the 1897 persons arrested for all
causes in Hull, Quebec, in 1924, only
334 were residents of the city and
1868 came from the outside-mostly
from Ottawa, Ontario, at that time
a dry district.
While there are 100000 more per-
sons in Montreal than in Washington,
d. c., there are twice as many per-
sons arrested for drunkenness here
than in any Canadian city.
The 1924 report of the Family We'll
fare Association of Montreal gives
the main causes for rendering relief
to families and as follows:
Sickness, 375; unemployment, 1926;
WidoWhOOd, 104; tuberculosis, 40;
non-support or desertion, 43; old age
81; Imprisonment, 12: intemperance,
Z; and fraud, 2.
The outstanding idea in the inaug-
uration of the commission to regulate
the sale of intoxicants in the province
was the discouraging of hard liquor.
Stringent regulations govern the oper-
alton of the government controlled
stores dispensing whiskey under the
temperance system These stores
open at a. M. and close at 6 p. m.
On Saturdays they close at l p. M.
and remain closed during all holidays
and election days.
The person convicted of drunken
ness or other Offenses caused by in
tOxication, those who drink to excess
and youths under the age of Is are
prohibited from obtaining liquors at
the government stores. Upon the
solicitation of any wife mother, hus-
band, brother, sister, father or en-
p1oyer, the commission will refuse
the sale of hard liquor to a person.
Others may obtain as much as one
quart a day, but this whiskey cannot
be opened on the store premises.
There is also a severe penalty for
becoming intoxicated in public places
The person violating the law of the
province faces a fine of $1,000 and
three months in jail.
The American Volstead Law is dis
criminatory in that it permits the
farmer to make cider and wine from
fruit juices and denies the city dwell
er any drink containing more than
one-half of one per cent of alcohol
by volume.
The Quebec idea is that the farmer
has more time to loaf than the city
dweller and is more likely to become
intoxicated, therefore there are no
government stores in the rural Sec
tions 1t is explained that the per-
son residing in the city works all year
around with the exception of few
days vacation each year; there is a
certain period that the farmer is idle
for three months in year and he
therefore has more time to drink.
Working on this theory, the commits
sion compels farmer, if he desires
hard liquors, to fill out form blank
for a quart and mail it to the city.
Several days elapse before he receives
the order.

REAL REFORM AND
TRUE TEMPERANCE
HOW TO REDUCE DRUNK
ENNESS AND CRIME.
Progressive Canada Exposes
Weaknesses in u. S. Prohi-
bition Enforcement.

Sixty-five million dollars derived
from liquor sales are used to PRO-
MOTE EDUCATION and IMPROVE
ROADS. Americans also contribute
their millions to the fund which could
have been used for Improvement and
promotion at home had the VoIstead
Law not driven them away
WASHINGTON, OCT. 25.-Quebec
is on the road to real temperance!
This is the opinion of the majority
of the special committee of fifty prom
inent persons named by the Associa-
tion Against the Prohibition Amend
ment to make a study of the licuor
control systems of all countries with
the idea in view of recommending
some legislation to Congress to relieve
conditions attributed to the Eigh-
teenth Amendment and the Volstead
Act.
The committee started functioning
a month or more ago, during which
time it has made an exhaustive sur
vey of Canadian regulations, which
will be embodied in the final report
to be submitted at a meeting to be
held in Washington about the middle
of January next.
According to the statistics gathered,
drunkenness, crime and practically all
of the evils under which the "dry"
United States is burdened, are elm
mated.
Since the inauguration of the liquor
regulation law in 1921 (prior to which
Quebec had prohibition such as this
country has and all the unsavory con-
ditions that the United States has
now) the gross receipts from liquor
sales have been approximately $685.
100000. This amount was largely con-
tributed to by 100000 people from
this country who cross the border
annually. The entire population of
the province of Quebec is 1851, ,199.
The people of the province are con-
suming more wine and beer now than
ever before, and the liquor sales have
decreased 51a per cent, in spite of the
annually increasing number of Ameri-
cans who invade Quebec each year
and who drink mainly of whiskey.
These statistics prove beyond any
shadow of doubt that Canadians are
becoming more temperate and have
permitted beer and wine to replace
hard liquors. incidentally, the sale
OF wine increased 72 per cent.
The following official figures show
the large increase in the number of
automobiles entering Quebec from the
United States: 1920, 31,918 cars; 1921.
41.957; 1922, 95,163; 1928 15O,O99;
1924, 1898, and during 1925 it is
estimated that 100000 will enter the
province from this country. Assum-
ing that the occupants of each auto
mobile spent only 800, it would mean
that Quebec would be richer by $2O,-
100000 during 1926
All monies derived from the sale of
liquors go for education and road i'm
provement purposes. Thirty-fve mil
lion dollars have already been ex-
pended for the latter purpose.
Prior to the adoption of the govern
ment control system, the monthly av-
erage number of arrests in Montreal
was 634. Under the control system,
in 1921, the number dropped to $50.
In 1922, it dropped to 1863 and in 1923.
313, or total drop of more than so
per cent of the prohibition figure.
Compare these statistics with any of
the cities in the United States.
Arizona state miner., 1925-11-07

Prices charged for hard liquors are
generally regarded as a trifle high.
but bear in mind that these prices
are fixed to discourage the consump-
ton of hard liquors Wines can be
obtained from 25 cents a pint up, and
beer. from 5 cents a glass up. The
following price list is maintained on
hard liquors:
DeKuyper gin, 10 or, SIPS; Cor
don gin, qt., SO .35; Burke's Irish
rs o., S.; Canadian rye whiskey, l
Old Durham, 80 or 6; White Horse,
26 o., 81 %; Black and White, 26
OF. 81 %, Usher's Green Stripe, 26
5 40; Bass's ale, 1 pt., 35 cents;
Guinness's Stout, l pt., 35 cents;
Chinese Ngkapei, / pit, ST.. 80; Chin
ese Muikwaile, 1 pit, 81 80; Moet &
Chandon, Brut Imperial, 1 qt., So .75;
White wine, l pit, 80 cents up; red
wine, 1 pit, 25 cents up; Port, 1 qt..
65 cents up Sherry, qt., 80 cents
up, and beer, glass, cents up.
The Subcommittee of the Commit
tee of Fifty of the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, in giving
out the facts regarding the Quebec
system, declared it to be a great i'm
provement over the system in Amer
lea, and advised people in this coun-
try to compare the Quebec statistics
governing crime, drunkenness and
other evils with the United States
statistics.
It pointed out that while Quebec is
on the road to temperance and reap
ing all the benefits of a temperate
province, America is sinking more
deeply into the mire, crime is increas-
ing by leaps and bounds, more people
are drinking, disrespect for law is
rampant and millions of dollars are
being expended in the enforcement of
our prohibition system which does not
prohibit.
The committee is planning to take
up liquor control laws in the other
Canadian provinces and all foreign
nations before the time for completing
the survey elapses. The idea is to
combine good sections of all laws in
to a general law to be submitted to
Congress for it's adoption in the inter
est of real temperance in the United
States.

those firms who are doing business in

profit by advertising in the Five

7Uo Automobile Accidents
Reported Within Week

Automobile accidents continue to
occur. Last Saturday night smash
up took place on the causeway just
across the bridge.
King Tilghman's car was at rest,
and John Long rammed it to the detri-
ment of both machines. Long was
arrested, heavy fine imposed, the
car taken into custody and Long is
spending some time at the expense of
the public.
Beverly Crowson, former en-
ploye of this city, and Leland Han
cock side-swiped one another a short
distance north of Costen's station
last Monday night. Both cars were
considerably damaged.
In neither of the two accidents was
any one seriously injured tho it is
hard to see how the occupants escap-
ed. More care is needed on the roads.

SPORT NEWS

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Baltimore Orioles showed up in a very
disappointing way while playing ex-
hibition games in the South, they have
exhibited championship form ever
since they arrived at their own ball
park.
They have shown sufficient strength
to down some of the big league teams,
and at this writing are "settin' pref
ty" at the top of the ladder.
Manager Dunn always seems to
have some reserve strength left, and
the other teams in the circuit will
lave trouble to prevent another pen
rant from flying at Oriole Park. His
pitchers are delivering the goods; his
fielders are covering lots of ground;
and the Birds batting eyes are pretty
clear, tho they should improve as the
season wakes.

For situation it is hard to surpass

Its staff of doctors and nurses are

Having been there and knowing
