DRY CZAR" TO
TOUR STATES

Among the objects Of a nation
wide tour to be taken IN July or
August by Gen. l.. C.. Andrews,
prohibition chief, will be conferences
with State and local enforcement
agencies with a view to obtaining
more effective cooperation in ap-
plication Of the dry laws.
Andrews plans to go West by
the way Of Nev~ Orleans, make an
inspection of Mexican border con-
ditions, followed by a survey of the
Pacific coast which probably viii
see a portion of the Canadian bor-
der, the Great Lakes enforcement
machine and possibly will visit
some of the Middle Western States.
Andrews schedule calls for a num-
Der of addresses in which he is ex-
pected to stress the wholesome
moral effect on enforcement of
building up sufficiently strong eases
against violators of the dry laws
that they will be sent to Jail rather
than fined.
Andrews probable visit to Alaska
may be followed by some radical
changes in the method OF enforcing
the prohibition and narcotic laws in.
that territory.
A considerably volume of liquor Is
being smuggled into Alaska and
narcotic peddlers are active among
the salmon fishermen, according to
reports.
Delegate Dan Sutherland OF Alas
ka has already laid the situation
before Andrews. -.
A plan for coordination Of all law
enforcement activities along the Pa.
cifics has been submitted to General
Andrews by prohibition adminfstra-
tors from California. 1t was thought
probable that after viewing the
situation Andrews would make ar
Trangements for appointment Of
co-ordinator, under a plan SIMILAR
to that adopted in the Southeast.

LEGAL|ZE5
CORN SUGAR
By FRED j. WALKER

Americas sweet tooth is TO DC
enlisted in the fight to bring the
Iong-suffering corn belt out OF it's
present hardships.
Before Congress today is legisla-
ton which will place corn sugar on
a parity with the familiar cane anc
beet varieties, IN SO far as pure food
laws are concerned.
Opposition to the legislation is
understood to be of the slightest.
Representatives and Senators of AL
political faiths are gleefully jump
ing on the bandwagon and indica-
lions today were that 1t would be-
come law before the end OF the
month.
Means Of extracting sugar from
corn in commercial quantities Were
only recently perfected. Accord
ing to Senator Cummins R9, Ia,
who sponsored the measure in the
upper chamber, it will provide a
ready market for hundreds of mir
lions of bushels of corn as soon as
present obstacles to free use of tn"
product are removed.

To the present-day American
traveller this name is a symbol
"a symbol for a hostelry which
is the most perfect expression
of high ideals in hotel opera
ton to be found the world over.
It's organization is dedicated to the
comfort of the guest. The beauty and
distinction of it's public rooms, the
magnificence of the furnishings, the
completeness of it's mechanical de-
vices for increasing the comfort and
convenience of living, are the ma
terial embodiment of splendid
ideal. But it is in it's human relations
that this great hotel is at it's best.
From the moment the guest regis
tiers until he bids us good-by, he has
the comfortable feeling of a high
perfection of service, efficient but
unobtrusive, unfailingly serving him.
Semil,otsekeeping apartments, aUith
breakfast room and kitchenettc.
beautifully and completely furnished,
receive the same high quality Of
service as the hotel rooms.
