BLUE SUNDAY AID
ASKED OF HOOVER
Reforn1ers Want Stamp Of
Approval on Law From
President.

By Scrtpps.H Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, July ia deli
cate problem has been dropped on
the White House doorstep as a re-
suit of the request Of the Lords
Day Alliance that President Hoover
issue formal statement setting
forth his view of the bill to estab-
lish a blue law" Sunday in the
District of Columbia.
Not content with delegating
committee to explain the purpose
of the Landlord bill to the Presi-
dent, the chief sponsors, returned
a day later to ask for a formal
statement. 1t is understood the Presi-
dent eventually will find some
means of making his attitude
known.
Though the proposed legislation
applies only to the national capital,
barring all conlnercialized activity,
it is understood its sponsors hope it
will serve as a. model for the nation.
Should congress enact the Lark
ford bill, it is predicted that a drive
for similar laws will be launched in
cities and states which have no
Sunday prohibitory measures.
The predicament saddled on Hoo
YER flows from the fact that some of
his strongest campaign supporters,
including many prohibition leaders,
want to win him to their side
Among those who conferred with
him on the subject this week were
Bishop James Cannon Jr.. of Vir-
ginia, Canon Chase of Brooklyn, the
Rev David G.. Wylie and H. L.
Bowlby of the Lords Day Alliance.
The Landlord bill would prohibit
theaters, motion pictures and base
ball. and its hackers refer to it as
a Sunday rest law"
The President never has stated
his view on the subject, but it is be-
lieved that he would not be disposed
favorably to such legislation. He
frequently has gone fishing on Sun
day, for instance.

Two Weeks in South
African Cities.
By Science Service

By Science Service
CAPE TOWN, South Africa, July
13.-Famous scientists, not only
from England. but from the United
States as well, are beginning to
gather here for what probably will
be one OF the most important of
scientific meetings ever held south
of the equator.
This will be the South African
meeting of the British Association
for the Advancement of Science,
which will open at Cape Town Mon
day night, July %. Sessions will
continue here until Saturday, July
q, when the members will travel to

further sessions will be held I'M
til Monday, Aug. 5.
South African scientific bodies,
especially the South African Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science, will hold joint sessions with
the British association.
Meetings of the British associa-
ton are held every year, usually in
the British Isles in the late sum-
mer, but occasionally meetings are
held in the British donlinions. The
first was in 1884, In Montreal. In
1897 meeting was held in Toronto,
in 1909 one in Winnipeg, and in
1924 another took place in Toronto.
In 1905 the first meeting was held
in South Africa, with Sir George
Darwin as president.
An Australian meeting was in
session in 1914. when. the war. broke
out, which added to the thrills of
returning to England for the men,
bers. It was at this meeting that
the late H. G. j. Moseley announced
his researches on the relation be-
tween the x-ray spectra and
weights of atoms of elements. He
was killed in the war the next year,
but his method has led to the dis
covery of several new elements.

ish geologist and rector Of the
Imperial College of Science, will
preside over the meeting He sue
ceeds Sir William Bragg, who was
president last year at the Glasgow
meeting. His address will deal with

Yearly consumption now is about
100000 gallons. A 100000 re-
serve, with further evaporation or
theft, might not be sufficient for
more than six years. Since the
United States pharmacopeia. sets up
z standard Of 4-year-old whisky, the
day for opening the distilleries would
not be far distant, on a basis Of only
100000 gallons.
DR.. Doran declines to make any
estimate Of the supply on hand. But
In report to congress last year he
said that ''the question Of man
ufacturing new medicinal whisky
will become a live one within the
next six months or a year"
Authority for reopening dis
tilleries is vested in Secretary Mel
lon, but the law provides for a re-
port on the subject by the prohi-
bition commissioner before any steps
toward manufacture may be taken.
Drys Resist Move
Drys always have resisted de-
nands for replenishing the supply
when they have been made by drug
interests. Prohibition spokesman
have declared for greater re-
strictions on physicians permits,
and contended that the present
supply could be preserved for a de-
cade if the allowances for prescrip-
tons were cut.
Lately, however, there has been
constant demand from drug in
terests for manufacture of a new
supply. and it is understood several
distilleries have fled applications
for the right to reopen.

Raiding officers invariably quiz
the circle Of customers" for those
wiling to testify to liquor pur-
chases. Strangely. they frequently
are found, but when the trial comes
up their memory has failed or they
fail utterly to show up.

To remedy the situation, Ser
geant Morrisey lately has been TAX
ing the witnesses to police head
quarters where their statements are
notarized by the turnkeys.
First attempt Thursday to intro
duce such a statement came to
raught when the case against an al
legged bootlegger fell through.

burtson, Negro, 826 East. Walnut
