Eily Carey, Scientist, Escapes
 "Stupid Orthodoxy"

Philadelphia, May 10 Rl-Rather than undergo the "monotony" of crossing the ocean aboard a luxuri- ous liner. Miss Ely Carey, promi- nent English scientist, made the trip on freighter. spending most of the time in the stoke-hole oiling the en- zines.
 Clad in grimy. crease stained ov- eralls, Miss Carey arrived aboard the British freighter London Mari ner from London last night. She was putting complacently on a cig- arctic, while she carefully oiled a valve, when she was discovered in the stoke-hole.
 T really do think that woman should do something rather than simply look pretty" Miss Carey said, after explaining that she was on her way to visit a sister in New Mexico and embarked on the freighter to avoid the stupid orth- odoxy" of a voyage aboard a pala- tial steamship.

SPECIAL RINGS FOR
 MICS CONTESTS
Clay From PsnDa. to Be Shipped
 to Atlantic City

Az announced recently in the Herald . new regulation marble ring has been built for the tourna- ment to determine the 1927 cham pion of the city of New Britain at Willow Brook park. In view of To- cal preparations which are being made in the Herald-Junior Achieve ment tournament the following item concerning the national tournament proves that the preparations in At lantic City are rapidly progressing:
 Atlantic City. April 1o-orders were given today for the selection of the finest clay in America for building the marble rings at the famous Ringer Stadium in 1927. The clay 1, shipped several hundred miles from clayfelds in Pennsyl- vania and is especially tamped and treated during the construction Of the rings.
 Just below the Boardwalk and only 40 feet from the tapping waves of tho blue Atlantic, Ringer Stadium Is beginning to arise, in preparation for the annual visit of Americas marble kings.
 Tiers of seats for newspaper cor respondents and for the thousands of spectators who annually throng tho beach at this play place of the world soon will be erected. The ten great marble rings are built up about eight inches from the sand of the beach and are large enough so that the players may sit or kneel outside the 10-foot rings with com fort.
 By the time the ringer experts of Atlantic City are through with them, the rings will be flat as a shoe sole and smooth as a bald mans head. They will provide Ideal shooting surfaces for mig experts. The New Britain marble champ, selected during the big tourney now being held. will be sent to Atlantic City from New Britain. all expenses being paid by the Herald.

 Diamond dyes do perfectly beauti- full tinting-in cold water. A dip, and it's done. And true dyes don't streak. Dye-tinting doesn't look weak, however delicate 8 tone you use: nor does it wash out unevcnly. When you want the tint to be per- manent, just use boiling water in- stead of cold!

DENIES PREVIOUS ARREST;
 RECORDS TO BE CHECKED
Albert Boutin, Held for Reckless Driving, Says Mark Against
 Name Is Error.

In order that the police may de- termine whether or not Albert Bou- tin. aged 20, of 91 Booth street. was found guilty Of violation of the mo- tor vehicle laws several months ago. Judge Hungerford today continued his case in police court until tomor- row. Boutin pleaded guilty to charges Of reckless driving and fail ure to stop when ordered to do 50 by a policeman. but denied that he was arrested at the time the rec ord on the judges bench indicated He said his brother was in such case at that time, but the present affair was his first. Judge Hunger ford said the penalty will depend to considerable extent on the young mans record and for that reason he ordered the confliction cleared up.
 Officer Thomas Tierney testified that as he and Supernumerary Of- ficer Louis Harper were at the cor ner of High and Broad streets about 7:20 last Saturday evening, a car driven by Boutin with the cut out open, and turned the corner despite the officers signal to stop, after passing three other automobiles. The officer was in the center of the roadway and was forced to step quickly to avoid being run down, while an automobile truck went onto the sidewalk to avoid being struck. Boutin, through Attorney Law renee J. Colon, pleaded guilty to both charges. The young man was out Of work for some tune before he obtained employment working for the city Of New Britain, and now his license will be suspended and he will lose his employment. the attor- ney said. asking Judge Iiungerford to bear these facts in mind and ex- ercise leniency.

It's An I'll Wind That Blows

Former Secretary of War Henry L. Stmson to-
day sets sail from New York, Nicaragua bound.
AS special envoy of President Coolidge, Mr.. Slim
san goes to study the situation in that neck of the
woods and fetch back to Washington some first hand
information upon which to base future policy.
Secretary of State Kellogg has let the Pres-
dent in for lot of grief of late through misanage
ment in Nicaragua and doubtlessly the President
would like to much out of the wreck as
he can.
This is a human, even patriotic desire The
United States has vast interests at stake through
out Latin-America, and Secretary Kelloggs buin-a
china shop treatment of them has got in bad from
Texas to TERRA del Fuego.
No informed LatinAmericans deny we have
these interests object to our protecting them
But there ways and ways of doing it and Mr.
Kellogg has not found the right one. Perhaps Mr.
Stimson can frd it.
There indications that the Administration
may use the Nicaraguan canal as a way out of the
hole Mr.. Kellogg has got it into. That is to say
President Coolidge may see fit to develop the
thought he expressed in his message to Congress last
January, when he intimated that of the main
reasons for Intervention in Nicaragua is our
canal grant there.
Since 1916 we have possessed the right to dig
an tnter-oceanic canal across southern Nicaragua
and II 1t can be shown that the time has come when
this vast project should be started, it would un-
doubtedly ease up of the pressure against the
Administration for occupying the country with
marines.
Many thoughtful Americans believe with those
in charge of security, that second canal across
Central America would be worth while as national
defense insurance. This is true, no matter how
much they may and do disagree with Secretary KEEL
loggs standings down there. Thus 1t would be an
astute political for the Administration to focus
public attention the need for this canal. Next
year is election year and something is urgently re-
quired to counterfeit the havoc wrought by the
Secretary of State.
Likely enough Mr.. Stimsons report to the Presi-
dent will not overlook this If So we can only say
it's an i'll wind that blows nobody good.
The canal Is an ultimate necessity and as it will
take long time to construct, it should be begun in
the comparatively future. The regrettabe part
of 1t all u.s. however, that IL sprung at this time and
in this way, it may be used as the League of Ma
tions a political football and politics has, or
should have. part whatever in matters of ma
tional defense.

the law is not enforced and has failed to accomplish
its purpose being charged with aiding bootleggefs
being wet" paid propagandsts for return of
the old saloon.
The plain statement of fact is that the question
is not settled and will be settled unless there is
an enforcement of the volstead law
If it be not settled, the American method of
discussion ought not be barred and certainly no one
could object to its settlement after full and free
debate and along lines dictated by common sense and
mature judgment based upon experience.
If there be apathy on the part of members of
churches who were Jealous for the passage of a law
may it not be suggested that these same members
who now show no interest, have refused to follow
the logic of force and do not believe, in their own
minds, that morals be lifted by law.
AS matter of fact force and Christianity are
strangers and utterly repugnant to each other
Yet the whole theory of this law is one of force
and force to the utmost. The one method of secur.
ing obedience is the threat of jail There is lost any
appeal to conscience better judgment such as were
contained in the early temperance movements when
the pledge of the Good Templars and similar organ
zations personal decision to refrain from an
evil habit and custom.
These forces made sobriety virtue to be cher
ished, not external imposition of statute
The man who stood for temperance and exem-
pifed it in those days gained his reward not only
a personal satisfaction, better health and better
chance for financial success but higher social
standing
The drinking man was under certain ostracism
and contempt
The attitude has changed since prohibition has
made drinking fashionable in circles where it was
tabooed
That very apathy of which the Anti-Saloon now
complains and for which it indicts members of
CHURCHES springs from the fact that the law itself
carries no sense of moral turpitude The average
conscience is not shocked by the fact that some
friend has patronized a bootlegger or has a few
bottles of wine from grape juice.
There is no ostracism for the man who makes
such purchases. There are few cases on record
where citizens have offered give evidence against
friends and neghbors for violation of this law. ex
cept for mean motives of hatred, spite or jealousy
Many OF the men who voted in this State for
the Wright law have not only violated that law
themselves but many more have seen violations on
the part of their friends and not protested
They would, almost automatically cause arrest
On any other law, no matter how close the friend
snip They would help hunt down their best friends
II they saw them stealing an automobile. robbing q
pank or committing form of outrage. They
nave no such strong sentiment in favor of this law
Undoubtedly the charge that there is apatbv
among church membership is well founded. It would
De worth while to discover the cause of this apathy
