FORMER DRUNKARD WRITES
Tells About His Home Life Before
and After the Adoption of
Prohibition

The Akron Journal, owned and pub
ished by former Congressman Knight,
who is very much opposed to prohibition
and its enforcement, published recently
communication of a man who in the old
days was liberal patron of the saloon.
This man says that he knows what prohi-
bition has meant to him and to his fam
lily, and that this howl about personal lib
erty is blessing in disguise.
This writer goes on to say that while
saloons we're doing business he was not
only a regular drinker, but drunllard,
that he often spent his last dime for a
drink, knowing that his wife and children
were hungry and cold. When prohibition
came, he could no longer get so-called
good whisky, and he resolved not to drink
the poison offered him. Then the writer
says:
I often wish | could have an en-
1arged picture of my family and home,
my little ones watching for my COM
ing, only to see me staggering home
drunk and penniless | believe one
look would reform most any drunk
ard, and more so, if picture of my
home and family of today were placed
beside it, when as | once passed my
pay check over the bar to the man
that was we'll aware of the condition
of my home and family. He knew my
home, how the cold winter blast
swept through broken windows. He

the little ones were put in what we
will call a bed, begging for some
thing to eat They were too small to

there was nothing in the house to

felt.
If I had one hundred years to live
and could spend each moment of that
time in trying to compensate my wife
for the sorrows ! have caused her,
my debt would remain unpaid. Now
that I drink no more, we have a hap
Ply home, plenty around us, home of

happy.

Mrs. Frances Wilson Grayson, who un- successfully tried to establish a transatlantic flight record was head cd for home today.

The only newly acquired arti- clcs that Mrs. Grayson brought aboard the Leviathan at Southamp- ton were a pair of fur lined flying boots and a fur lined helmet for use if she tries to fly across the At lantic in the winter.
 Her ambition besides being the first woman to fly the Atlantic is to make the first crossing in winter she told the Associated Press cor respondent
 T am not goin to die before my time comes anyway" she said "and a winter flight would be a real con- tribution to the store of knowledge about transoceanic flying"
 Her conferences with aviation of ticials in Europe were to obtain ad- vice, information and cooperation for winter flight. The French of fcials were optimistic about her chances but the British did not en- courage her. "I have already made three starts and if necessary I'll turn back again and again" she said.

LARGEST BATTLESHIP
 ON MAIDEN VOYAGE
L. S. S. Saratoga, Biggest American Naval Vessel, Leaves "Crib" at
 Brown -Boycri Shipyards.

Camden, N. J., Nov. 22 (UP)- The T.. s. S. Saratoga. largest of Uncle Sans naval vessels, left Its "crib" at the American Brown-Bo- veri shipyards today.
 Easing from her berth at low tide, the s45,000,000 airplane carrier was pulled into the channel of the Dcla- ware where she was anchored to await high tide at 12:51 D. m.
 Sixteen tugs provided power for the Saratoga on it's maiden cruise, which, although short, was most dangerous and with possibilities of great damage. The hull of the huge craft more than half spanned the Delaware river when she was backed from her slip.
 The Saratoga will go into dry dock at League Island navy yard, where submarine signal apparatus will be installed and stores taken aboard. It was expected that this work will take six weeks.
 She then will call at Hampton Roads for ammunition and start her voyage to the Pacific coast where she will take her place as flagship of the aircraft squadron of the L. s. battle fleet.

State Resumes Case
 Against Gibbons Widow

Fall River, Nov. 23 (UP)--The state today resumed its case against Mrs. Gertrude Frazier Gibbons, on trial for her life here in connection with the murder of her husband, Theodore.
 The defense scored several im- portant points at yesterdays session when government witnesses failed to present the conclusive testimony which the prosecution admittedly had expected.
 Rudolph Boulay, on whose East Swansea farm Gibbons body was found last May, was unable to idcn- tify Mrs. Gibbons as the woman who the government alleges tried to buy the farm from Boulay last year.
 Another defense victory was the granting by Judge Hugo A. Dubuque of the defense request that all Wit resses be impounded.

COOLIDGE WILL
 PRESENT VIEWS
Executive Prepares Annual
 Congress Message

Washington. D. C., Nov. g P)- Approaching the end of a laborious task. President Coolidge is about ready. by mandate of the constitu- ton, 10 present his views on the needs of the country, in an annual message to congress.
 Coming at time when a wide range of problems are pressing for solution. the message is being await lation, particularly so because of the interest in what the president will recommend regarding such disputed questions as farm relief, flood con- trol and development of relations between the nations resources and dcfcnses.
 In general way, 1t is true, MT. Coolidge already has informed the country of his views on many Ques- tions of importance, but he has left for congress the privilege of hearing any specific and detailed recommcn- dations which he may choose 10 make.
 That he desires to round out the navy by the building of more sub marines and cruisers. provide ade- Quately for the control of the Mis- sissippi river and correlated projects, build up the merchant marine and dispose of the Boulder Canyon pro- posal and in time, the Columbia river irrigation project, Is known. But his message is expected to deal with these subjects in detail. and it still remains to be disclosed what stand he will take on farm relief. the one problem which seems upper most in the minds of many politi- clans. intermingled as 1t Is with the presidential campaign of next year. House that the president will stand behind the treasury's recommenda- tions for q S225, 5,00O,000 tax reduc- ton as well as it's other proposals, leaves little doubt that Mir. Coolidge will inform congress emphatically of what he considers it's duty along these lines.
 Correlated with the development of the navy. MT. Coolidge is expect cd to outline his attitude toward eX- pansion of the countrys air service, particularly as to commercial de- velopment of this method of trans portaton.
