Claims on Army. Navy Clas-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.-(F)-
Chicago's claims for the annual Army
Navy football game next November.
in its new SS,OO0,00O stadium, were
presented to officers of the Naval
academy and the navy department to-
day by Representative Britten Of III
.nois and then taken under advise
ment with indications that decision
would not long be delayed.
Rear Admiral L. NJ. Mutton, sup
erintendent and athletic officer Of the
academy. returned TO Annapolis last
night to discuss the matter with the
academy athletic association before
laking recommendations to Secretary
Wilbur. The superintendent Of the
military academy as well as the Sec
rotary of war also probably will be
consulted before the Invitation is def
.nitely accepted or rejected.
The Chicago offer was described
Is attractive, but it was pointed out
hat holding the game there might
prove a great Inconvenience to naval
officers on the east coast who usually
attend the annual classic. Another
question raised was the problem also
f Transporting the midshipmen and
cadets from their academies to Chi
,ago for an absence of several days.
INVOLVING not only unusually heavy
expenses but considerations Of discip-
line.
Because Of these problems, it was
decided to refer the matter to the
secretary Of the navy and probably
he superintendent Of the military
.cademy and the secretary of war, in
1tcad Of leaving the decision to the
athletic association Of one academy
" the other, the usual procedure.
This year, the naval academy is
the "home team" and its association
formally would determine the city in
which to play the game. which Gus

Harry Cooper Is coming back

sensational 06 over the Los An

affair Of honor to settle with a
local caddie.
During q Tit Of Over-confidencc

to his club toter:. SEE
"Caddie, il 1 don't birdie this

Well. to make a long story
short, Harry took a regulation
five. without hesitation, he
pulled out his timepieee, fob and
all and made the official presen-

Harry, ut the time. did not
stipulate that the impromptu
trophy should be set up for
yearly competition. But, from
the way he's seen tearing down
the fairways Of late, he must
have made up his mind to re-

POISONING LAW vIOLAToRS

Government chemists we are informed, expect
soon to perfect new formula for denaturing alcohol
which will defy efforts of bootleggers to redist the
industrial product for beverage use.
The nature of the formula is not revealed, be-
yond the fact that it will be guaranteed sure
death for any who attempts" to redistill and
drink 1t. 80.
The new formula probably will be in use in
three months 1t will replace existing formula which
calls for the mixture of creosote gasoline wood al
cohol, benzol and other poisonous substances with
grain alcohol.
Thus we may soon expect enormous increase
in deaths from poison liquor, beside which the 700
deaths in New York City last year. and the forty
four recent deaths in territory near Buffalo will be
Insignificant 1t is not to be expected that this sure
death" alcohol will be kept out of the hands of boot
leggers. They have been accustomed for several
years to redistil enormous quantities of alcohol de-
natured under existing formulas, and no can be-
lieve their trade will die overnight.
sMeanwhile millions of gallons of this "re-
cooked" alcohol the booteggers call it. are being
sold for beverage purposes This is not guesswork;
prohibition officials admit It,
This alcohol while fairly palatable IN most in
stances is seldom completely free from wood alco-
hol other poisons, According to ]. w. Quill an
chief chemist of the bureau of in :ernal revenue in
New York, itsis mot Immediately harmful, but sure
ueatn eventually 10 any one drinking 1t"
The head of the New York prohibition Office is
quoted saying that efforts at rehabilitation are
sure to produce alcohol only partially free from
highly poisonous adulterants."
Thus we have it authority of officers of the
Government that hundreds Of thousands of citizens
who regularly drink bootleg liquor being slowly
but surely poisoned and that attempt is being
made to make denatured alcohol still more deadly.
What will be the effect public health ten Or
twenty years hence? Will men now in their twenties
and thrties pay with their lives or with broken
health, when they should be in their prime? And
not in isolated instances. but by the hundreds Of
thousands?
This is not argument against prohibition nor an
effort to brighten any 1t is a recital of facts
which surely challenge attention. While we argue
prohibition pro and con, need not lose sight of
the things that are going on around
You may say, as do some reformers, that law
violators deserve whatever they get. Or you may
call it murder, does Senator Jim Reed That won't
help matters.
While spending millions and more mil
lions enforcing prohibition, we might set aside q
few dollars for scientific study of this wholesale
poisoning and its social and economic effects
