GENERAL BUTLER SAYS
 HE STILL IS ANTI-WEI
Noted Officer Who Tried to Dry Up Philadelphia Wires in Favor
 of Prohibition.

Philadelphia, Jan. 1s P)-Briga- dier General Smedley D. Butler, di- rector of public safety in Philadel- phia for two years, still favors pro- hibition, he said in telegram re- ceived here under Los Angeles, Calif., date.
 Explaining his speech made in Oakland, Calif., January 5, in which he was reported as having said that prohibition legislation reacts against the poor man and favors the rich one, the general in his telegram said that the Pennsylvania enforce ment law has no more teeth than the Volstead act.
 The telegram, sent In response to an inquiry as to his sranu on pro- hibition, was received by Mrs. H. Clay Ferguson, president of the Philadelphia County Branch of the w. c. T. U. 1t said:
 Oakland reference to volstead act published without context. I am unalterably in favor of prohibi- tion, but disgusted with condition. brought about by allowing this great moral issue to become a political trading point.
 Present Pennsylvania enforce ment law has no more teeth than the Volstead act. It must be great ly strengthened or entirely re-writ- ten, with severest penalties for vio- lations if the scrap with liquor Is to approach success in our lifetime. Don't be satisfied with hollow forms of victory. Go after the other side and chew them; other wise they will win. Contentment with conditions is disastrous Must either advance or lose ground"

periodicals.
One worker found that another
had broken the rule in a very loving
way. She had taken an old lady 5
glasses and had them repaired for
ler. The light on the old lady s
face when the glasses were return
Cd to her more than repaid the
trouble.
Of course, it is hardly necessary
, to mention that giving in large in
stitutions must be arranged with
great care. Each present on the
Christmas tree must be about the
same in value so that no one viii
feel sighted.

1t all seems to come back to TIC
original proposition:
"Inasmuch as We have done it
unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye have done it unto me. .
it was once observed by keen
thinker, that to listen patiently to
a garrulouS old lady tell you exactly
why she changed the flower on her

obeying the Golden Rule. Anyone

AtWater-Kent
Radio Popular

Much interest is being manifested
in the new Atwatcr Kent radio re-
ceiving set which is now on display
at the Imperial Valley Hardware
company, according to y. +. Fuller
Of tnat company. lie states that the
A. c. Tubes, drawing power direct
from the alternating current house
lighting circuit and thereby doing
away with all need for batteries or
clinInatOrs, first appeared about
two years ago when it was used by
several radio manufacturers. Deal
ers no longer regard the electrified
sets and tubes used with them as
being in an experimental stage and
that the new Atwater Kent electri-
fled set will stand up as well as
those in which batteries are used
seems to be the general opinion Of
dealers.
According to Fuller, the cathode,
or electrOn emitting element of the
tube is heated by an internal ele-
ment that uses alternating current
direct from the house lighting cur
rent, whereas the cathode of the
ordinary ID. G. tube is heated by di-
rect application. The use of small
step-down transformer ON the line
between the volt light socket and
the tube is necessary, as the heater
element of the tube takes only three
volts.

LITTLE GEORGE AND HIS
FRIENDS NEED YOUR HELP

For above all, George is good
fellow" His smile and CHEEKY ways
have made him a favorite of every
one.
George has a few little toys, Civ
en- him by kind friends who visited
the farm at Thanksgiving. But he
could use more. His little sweater
is thin and old. A warm sweater
would make Georges laugh break
out all over again, for these days
have so many chilly hours, and
George loves to play out of doors.
When he gets tired Of outdoor play,
he would love to draw pictures with
folored crayons. From the purely
utilitarian, but very necessary point
of view, it is found that George
could also use warm underwear, and
pair of trousers of suitable size
for q sevenyear-old.
The other young inmate of the
farm, small Pedro, the little Mex
lean lad who was kicked, would love
toys that can be played with in bed.
And warm night shirts or sleeping
suits would not be amiss. And jell-
ies-what housewife would not be
glad to contribute a glass of her
best Jelly for little invalid who
is on restricted diet, and who has
not watchful mother by his side
to supply such wantss
"There are approximately so in
mates at the farm at the present
time,' Superintendent Weir said
today. OF course the number varies
slightly, but there will be at least
that number at Christmas.
Included in that group are four
women, the two boys and the re-
mainder men. Three of the women
are confined to their beds, and ap-
proximately 80 men are hospital pa
tients.
"We never seem to have enough
socks,' said Superintendent Weir,
when asked what the men need
most. ''Then of course thev can
always use underclothing or any old
clothes that anyone can spare. For
the women warm night gowns are
needed. Shawls or scarfs to throw
about the shoulders of those who
can sit up would be appreciated.
Then there are tobacco and
smokes for the men, candy,
