Very thoughtfully Sonia removed

brought the tears to her eyes.

CATHOLICS URGED
TOBACK DRY LAW
Must Observe Statute Be-
cause 1t Is on Books, School
Head Says.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO. February 24-Speaking
on prohibition from the Catholic
viewpoint" the Rev. Joseph Reiner,
). j.. dean Of the College uI Arts and
Sciences of LoyoIa University, toda y
pleaded for an emphasis upon the
need OF law observance and respect
for the law. He addressed the Lake
Shore Women's Club.
80 far as Catholic principles are
concerned, a go, ernment may adopt
prohibition or not. may continue 1t
or repeal 1t or modify it," he said.
When the government adopts prohi-
bition, prohibition becomes law and
as a law. not as prohibition, it as
sumes moral aspects"
That the success of the prohibition
amendment was not complete caused
the speaker no surprise. although he
was surprised that prohibition has
attained the measure Of success that
even many of It's enemies are willing
to admit"
For those with an honest belief
that prohibition is unwise he said
that from the Catholicvlewpoint you
have the right would say you have
the obligauon-to agitate for its re-
peal. But from that same viewpoint
you have another and a more sacred
anu more competing oDllgatton, the
obligation TO agitate for a substitute
measure that gives fair promise to
meet the situation more effectively.
Prohibition is not so completely
out of harmony with Catholic thought
and practice as some would have u:
believe" he said.
He cited introduction of it into
their fields by various missionaries
and said at least Is bishops are known
to have favored enactment of prohi-
ton laws.

ton.
The projected pictures showed the
exact connection between Archimedes'
principle and Mr.. Drekolias' ship,
"Avythistos." The inventor explained
in great detail just how the specific
gravity of various substances are
taken into consideration in arriving
at a nonsinkable ship.
From a written article handed to
the Congressman the information
was conveyed that the ship doesn't
sink because 1t Is full of collapsible
air cells. The ship was so full Of
these cells. in fact. that one of the
auditors asked the inventor where
the cargo was put. He replied that
matter could be taken care Of easily.
The fact remains that the model
ship, some fve fee. In length. and
constructed OF metal, behaved Just
as its master wanted 1t to. sinking
when he pulled trigger or two on
the side or refusing TO stay under
when operated according to the ap-
proved methods Of Archimedes.
Chairman Butler Of the naval af-
fairs committee was one OF the
many who failed to witness the
actual sinking attempts. He appeared
on the scene early. but hurried out
of the room to escape the insistent
demands Of news photographers that
he and his colleagues pose beside
Ayyth!stos. He never came back.

Standard Parking
Signs Discussed
For Local Streets

Traffic Director Eldridge today
took up with Charles Moore, chair
man of the Commission of Fine
Arts, a design for standard park
ing signs to be hung from electric
and gaslight poles on the streets OF
Washington. The signs will be
hung from standards to be screwed
into the light poles, at a standard
height OF eight and a half feet
from the sidewalk, and will re-
place the present temporary signs
mounted on movable standards.
The move is in the interest OF uni
formity Of signs and uniformity
of design and distance from the
ground, Mr.. Eldridge said. Twenty.
three different parking signs are
used in Washington, he added. I'm
der the new scheme all the signs
would be constructed of a uniform
shape and color. with a deep blue
background and white lettering.
When placed on gas light poles
the bottom of the signs would be
less than eight feet from the
ground, but sufficiently high to
clear the top Of parked autolno-
bile.
