HEAD OF W. C. T. u MAKES STIRRING
ADDRESS AT ANNUAL CONVENTION

MESA, Oct. 27.-Before the as
sembled delegates to the 38th annual
convention of the w. G. T. U. Mrs.
r. B. Stevens, state president of the
union, this afternoon delivered a
stirring address. The title of her
address was prohibition is the Best
Method"
Following few Introductory re-.
marks she launched into the dramatic
details of her message with telling
force. She said:
"Yes, let us never lessen the en-
phasis nor fail in any opportunity
of declaring that prohibition is the
best method yet tried of dealing with
the drink habit and the liquor traffic,
the, slogan coined and adopted by the
Woman's Christian Temperance union.
Remember, also, that no method has
ever yet pleased those who want to
sell and use Intoxicating liquors.
"Our organization land the W. G.
T. U. is an organization, not COM
lnittee-has been built around the
policy of total abstinence, which to-
day is but another name for law

MADRID HONORS
AMERICAN GIRL
AND HER PILOT

MADRID, Spain, Oct. q (P)-Ruth
Elder, first surviving transatlantic
woman flier, and Captain George
Haldenoan, .co-pllot of "rhe American
Girl were the center OF admiration
in the Spanish capital today. AS
the guests of Ogden Hammond,
American ambassador, the American
aviators arrived here from Lisbon in
Junkers plane at 2:16 p. M Bo6n
we're delighted to have been in the
air again, and their next flight will
be to Paris.
A sample Of Ruth's determination
was given tonight at the embassy,
When General r mo De Rivera, the
Spanish premier-dictator notified
Ambassador Hammond that because
of pressing business of state he -ould
be unable to attend the tea given
in honor Of the little aviatrix. In
typical American fashion, when Miss
Elder learned of this she ran to the
telephone and informed the general
that she would like to meet him.
Primo De Rivera hurriedly left the
presidential office and went at once
to pay his respects to Ruth at the
embassy. AZ
When the filters ,alighted at Ketafe

American colony headed by Ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Hammond and their

fitting welcome, and there were many

both, but happiness will indeed come
vi law enforcement. We major in
to our ranks when observance of law
becomes universal, making obsolete
the term law enforcement. We. have
not yet received full benefit Of the
national prohibition law; not because
of the character of the law, but on
account of lack of observance and lax
enforcement.
Prohibition removes temptation and
the degrading example of our govern
ment licensing an evil and deriving
revenue tEerefrom. Prohibition is
a constructive program on the part
of the government to promote public
health and safety, public morals and
the nations finances We repeat that
the remedy for lax enforcement is
observance of the law and this ON
the part of every individual citizen
because it is patriotic, decent, respect
able to do so. This observance then,

who met her, ard the Spanish girls
appeared to be greatly attracted by
her appearance.
Some one filled her arms with flow
ers. She proceeded to the embassy
in the ambassadors car, still accom-
panied by Captain Haldeman. They
we're the guests of the Royal Spanish
Aero club for luncheon, and were pre-
sented to Major Ramon Franco and
Capt Ruiz Aida, of the Palos-Buenos
Aires flight.
Their sojourn in Madrid was brief,
for at IL o'clock they left for Bayonne,
France, there to take plane for the
French capital.
They Travelled by Southern express
to Bayonee, and were cheered away
by a great throng of Spanish and
American admirers. just before her
departure, Ruth asked the correspond
ent to send through the Associated
Press her most cordial greetings to
the American people.
