CRIME, LESSON FOR
 PROHIBITION
Snyder-Gray Case Is Argu- ment for Prohibition,
 Says Mrs. Shaver

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-The plight of Mrs. Ruth Snyder and Judd Gray will make the best possible argument for Prohibit tion, said Mrs. Clem Shaver, wife of the Chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee in an address prepared for the National Womens Democratic Law En- forcement League.
 Nothing but whiskey made Mrs. Snyder and Gray lose all moral restraint and the press, wet, dry or indifferent, was un- consciously preaching Prohibition went it blazoned their story on the front pages" says Mrs. Shaver.
 The Democratic Party should help prevent such crimes, Mrs. Shaver said, by upholding the Constitution and by making patriotism something more than a word to roll around in the tongue on the Fourth of July and twenty-second of February"

LARGEST LAKE FERRY TAKES
 30 RAIL CARS

TOLEDO, O., Jan. 10. = The Wabash" largest carferry on the Great Lakes, built at a cost of $1,000.000, has been put into service between Wisconsin and Michigan ports. It's bow will cleave ice 25 inches thick.
 Thirty 42-foot railroad cars, a dozen automobiles and 50 pas sengers is the capacity load of the great ferry, which has been leased by the Wabash Railroad, its owners, to the Ann Arbor Railroad.
 With the completion of the ferry railroad men recall the first attempts to ferry railroad cars across Lake Michigan. The lake was a serious barrier to freight shipments from Wiscon- sin and the northwest to Michi- gan and the industrial east, since 1t was necessary to skirt it's southern extremity
 Thirty-five years ago, two tubs" were put into commission to carry a few cars between Wis consin points and Frankfort, Mich. The service has been built from that beginning until vir- tual floating roundhouses sail the lake.
 The Wabash is described in the Marine Review as 3S0 feet long and with beam of 57 feet, six inches. It fears no ordinary ice that sends other ships to port.
 Luxurious cabins for women, a mems smoking room and dining and wireless telegraph rooms are improvements on the vessel. It was built in Toledo.

FAMED NAMES VANISH FROM
 soc. REGISTER

NEW YORK, Jan. 10-Many a name famous in American history and society will be missing th!s year from the roster of the na- tion's first families-the Social Register.
 Lack of interest on the part of those whose names, money or an cestry entitle them to inclusion in the blue book of society is re- sponsible, officials of the Social Registry association declare, for the dropping from the 1928 year book of the social leaders of eley- en, cities heretofore listed.
 So little attention was paid, the association says, by residents O. Providence, Cleveland, Dayton. Cincinnati. St. Paul. Minneapolis, Detroit, Richmond. Savannah. Charleston and Atlanta to rc- quests for the data needed for the Register that those cities will no longer be given a place.
 Every city dropped from the volume has been represented in it in years past by names of wide note. Providence contributed the historic Puritan names of Abbot, Ames, Babcock and Cabot. as well as those of William B. Waterman. the Cyrus Tafts and the Wilfrel H, Munros.

 From UmcInnatl a column tf Tafts has adorned the pages 0: the register-William H. Taft, Charles P, Hubert and Robert A. emong others. Also listed from Cincinnati were the Rudolph Wur- litzers, the Patterson Pogues, Jd- lius Tleischman, the Hannas, the Krogers and the Peebles. Mime apolis and St. Paul have contribn- ted their share, including tho names of such families identified with the flour industry as the Crosbys, the Washburn and the Pillsburys. From Dayton were listed James M. Cox. Charles D. Biddleman. the Cranes, the Jelkes and the Matthews. From Cleve- land were listed James R. Gar field, Charles Potter Hines, Ar thur R. Leeds, Robert P.

 Not all of these names will dis appear, for those who are identi- fled with society in Washington, New York or other listed cities and who maintain residences there will have a place in the So- cial Register from those social capitals.

Swedish Bus Mileage
 0ptdistances Railway

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 10. - The automobile is playing an increas- ingly important role in Sweden's communication. The railroads are recognizing it's value so exten- siyely that 34 privately owned roads are running passenger and freight busses, 21 lines operating their own machines and five be- ing financially interested in auto mobile transporting companies. The Post Office Department op- crates 20 coach lines over 1,500 miles.
 There are at present 1000 busses on the 1,40O bus lines in Sweden. The total length of these roads is 21,735 miles, while the total mileage of railways in Sweden is only 16,000 mines. There are but $500 railroad sta tions in the country, while busses make stops at not less than 15,- 900 to 20,000 places.

 ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Jan. 1O.-Albuquerque's jaunty motor cites are without jobs since Janu- ary when the city railway company discontinued operation of its street cars.
 The Albuquerque street cars have been operated by women since the days of the World War when motorettes were put to work on the traction line. In retaining the women operators after the war the management announced that records of the company showed that the motor cites had operated the cars with fewer accidents and more efficien- cy than had the men who for merly were employed. The trac- tfon company employed 20 women who are thrown out of work by the suspension of service.
 The pleasant smiles and jolly greetings of the uniformed mot orettes, while considered an at traction by the company, were not sufficient to counteract the inroads of the automobile which brought a gradual decline in the lumber of persons using street cars. The lines have not been proflta for the last thrke years.
 The traction company was plac- pd' in the hands of a receiver about six months ago and was ordered sold for liens totaling approximately $59.O00.
 The receiver appealed to busi- ness men of Albuquerque to assist in obtaining work for the motor cites.
 Closing of the Albuquerque lines and granting of petition by the Las Vegas Transit Com pany to abandon service in that city leaves New Mexico a State without street car service.
