 ton Opposition

CHICAGO, April Congress sional opposition to Prohibition is confined to few wet loeali- ties, Mrs. Ella A. Boole, National President of the Womens Chris tian Temperance Union, said here today.
 Mrs. Boole declared that an analysis of wet bills in Congress showed three Senators and 26 Representative from nine States had introduced 59 wet measures which are now awaiting action.
 The cities represented by the Legislators are New York, St. Louis, Newark, Chicago, Milwau- kee, St. Paul, Boston, Baltimore and Detroit.
 Of the total of 59 measures, 31 came from New York.

That was 13 per cent of the entire membership of the House. Today the entire wet propaganda in the House is in the hands of 26 members or 6 per cent of the membership"

Courts Give Prams
 Right of Roadway

PARIS. April Whether or not baby carriages should carry a light at night like other vehicles is still an issue in French courts. with test case before the highest tribunal.
 Babies and baby carriages have right of way in France that goes far beyond the law Policemen will cut traffic at any time for small children.
 Automobilists. however. object to the drivers sole responsibility for accidents when baby carriages parade at night along unlighted highways. So far the courts have held that the car driver ought to be able to stop within the dis tance lighted by his headlights They have avoided passing on the contention that person pushing baby carriage on the road, when the sidewalk is blocked, goes there at his or her risk, knowing there is no light to warn the mo torist.
 The automobilists contend the law requires all vehicles, even pushcarts, to carry light, but the courts held that a baby carriage is not a pushcart because. push. carts are not allowed on the side walk and are freight-carriers.

Few Wild Sheep Left
 Guadalupe Mountains

ALAMOGORDO, N. M.. April ( Only about 100 mountain sheep remain of the great flocks that roamed over the Guadalupe noun tains when settlers first came to this country.
 Eager hunters and predatory animals took their toll, and the few sheep which are left are be- lieved by game wardens to owe their lives to the rnggedness of the country to which the diminish ing flock has retreated.
 Absolute protection is given by the game laws, which provide for fine of $250 for any person kill ing a mountain sheep, but ranch men say it is an unusual hunter who withstands the temptation when one of the rams crosses his path.
 Creation of a national park in the Guadalupe mountains as a range for mountain sheep, and the stocking of the refuge, are advo- cated by sportsmen of this re- zion.

BRITISH WANT WORLD.SERIES
 FOR POLO|STS

LONDON. England, April 6-A polo world series" is being ad- vocated by polo experts here and in the British Dominions.
 Australia and particularly New South Wales. together with South Africa and Canada especially want to be represented in an an nual international nidtcfi.
 The four strongest countries at polo at present are the United States, England. India and Argen- tina. But the Dominions say they have strong teams which would put up a good showing against this quartet if given chance.
 A step in the direction of bring ing the Dominions into interna. tional polo contests and making d world series possible in polo already has been taken. New South Wales has invited the In dian Polo Association to send a team to Australia this season to compete in tournaments at Syd- ney. The Indian Association has accepted.
 New South Wales has developed a considerable interest in polo. and there are now 42 lively polo clubs in existence. In 1925 New South Wales entered three diff ferent teams in the tournament for the Australasian Cup.
 Australia, Canada and South Af- rica expect to send team each to London in the near future to com pete for the Prince of Wales Elm pire Cup at Birmingham.
 A suggestion has been made that the Westchester Cup. which the United States retained last summer against the challenge of an Army-in-India team, should be thrown open to competition to countries other than the United States and Great Britain. This could not be done, however. be- cause the deed of gift by which the cup was provided specifics that England and the United States shall be the competitors.
 The only truly international polo contest now held is that in connection with the Olympic Games. But polo is part of the games only when the Olympics are held in country where polo is played.
