Prohibition Bureau
Will Ask Congress
For Education Fund


A substantial appropriation to ii.
nance campaign OF education in
| favor of prohibition is to be asked in
! the estimates to be submitted for
| the 1881 budget by the Prohibition
| Bureau.
Miss Anne Sutter, of the bureaus
| statistical section. said today that
the Government hopes to carry on
the educational work from year to
year, instead of on q temporary
| basis. A trial campaign has been
started on the $50 900 appropriation
made by the last Congress. This
sum- however, would be insufficient
to carry out the objectives, OF the
bureau.
Eventually. II the money Is fur
nished, in addition to posters. dis
tribution of literature and work in
the schools, the bureau would make
use of the radio and motion picture
to disseminate information.
Much Literature
"A voIuminous literature came
into existence prior to the adoption
of the Eighteenth Amendment" said
statement issued by the bureau.
This literature was widely used
in the study courses OF our schools,
and contributed largely to the pas
sage of the Eighteenth Amendment.
Modern psychology has been added
to modern conditions and we are
confronted with the task of sTild.
ing new literature, suited to pres
ent day conditions
Alcohol has been a necessary
commodity in the great industrial
development of our country. The
United States is now using more
alcohol in the sciences, arts and
industries than any other country.
While it has contributed greatly to
our progress. the misuse of alcohol
through taking it into the human
system has contributed to poverty,
insanity, disease and crime"
The statement declared that the
burden of the government message
to its youth was to show 'the
proper use and the value Of this
commodity in the advancement of
civilization"
Slogans Proposed
Miss Sutter declared that the
campaign would be positive, not
negative. The old idea of describ.
ing the horrible results of excessive
alcoholic consumption probably will
have no part in the educational
drive. 1t will go more into the
practical benefits OF prohibition.
Some of the slogans suggested by
the bureau were:
Let us use alcohol. not waste It.
Use not abuse
Lawmakers must not be law
breakers"

Now. when Peter had first looked up.
the drummer was in such position
that his head and neck were hidden.
At first glance he looked to be as big
as Blacky the Crow. and his coat was
black. So Peters mistake was excus-
able. A moment later he moved so
that Peter could see his head and neck,
Peter realized, too, that this fellow
wasn't quite as big as Blacky.

1t was true that the stranger had. a
surprisingly large, stout bill. What Peter
called "red cap" was really red crest
of feathers. His face and the sides OF
his neck were striped with white. He
stretched one wing and Peter discovered
that that also was barred with white
Then the stranger began to drum. He
wasn't cutting out chips now. He was
drumming just for the sake of hearing
the noise he made. His head flew back
and forth so fast that Peters own neck
ached just from watching him. And
what a racket he made! Rat-a-tat-tat-
tat-tat! -tat-tat-tat-tat! The noise
fairly rolled through the Green Forest.
There was no doubt now in Peters
mind that he had found the master

Sir Horace Wilson was present in the role of conciliator in behalf of the ministry of labor.
 There was a happier expression on many faces than has been common recently, as the delegates gathered with the object of agreeing upon arbitration of the wage question if a satisfactory arrangement could be reached regarding composition of the court and the terms of reference to it.
 After brief morning session, the joint conference adjourned for fur ther separate conferences by both sides.

 IMAGES ON SCREEN
Ma6na6lm, Newest Movie De- vice, Uses OYerSiZed Film

Hollywood, Calif., Aug. 15.-The next big step forward in the mo- tlon picture industry will be the in troduction of the magnatilm.
 Jesse L. Lasky, production chief of the Paramount studio is authority for this statement
 The magnafilm is the outgrowth of the magnascope which we intro- duced for the first time in Old Ironsides' and used again in Wings Lasky declared. We have been ex- perimenting with the magnatilm in our Long Island studio for some time and recently have been able to get perfect results from it.
 The magnascope was merely process by which we magnified an ordinary film to nearly twice it's normal size. But in so doing we lost some of the detail of the plc2 ture. The magnafilm, as it's name implies, is an oversized film which requires a much larger screen than the present day film and yet loses none of the detail in its projection
 While the magnafilm does not contain third dimension elements, It comes closer to it than anything else I have ever seen. The enlarged fig ures on the screen give the audienc" have depth."
 Technicians at the Paramount studio here are now quietly build- ing new cameras which will use the magnafilm. Fundamentally they are the same as the cameras now in use, the only difference being that they will use the oversized film. As soon as enough of these cameras are completed preparations will De made for using the magnafilm in a!l Publix theaters.
 According to Lasky. it will be a comparatively simple matter 10 equip theaters for the use of this film. It will not necessitate the junking of present projection ma chimes, as the installing of sound equipment did. All that will be necessary will be the building of larger screens and installing at- tachments to handle the larger film on projection machines now in use.
 T think it's is safe to say that within a year the majority of pie lures will be made with magma film" declared Lasky. Then we will start looking forward to tele- vision. Of course. all of the major studios and electrical corporations have been experimenting with tela- vision for some time, but it has been temporarily showed into the background by the agnafilm, which is the next immediate step in the progress of the picture industry.
 Tt is difficult to say when tele- vision will be put on commercial basis. It may be five years and it may be longer. We all know it is coming sometime and that is all"

 This may be a sample of the real estate advertisements on the pages of newspapers around 1889 if Rich ard B. Fuller's new idea in home building is successful.
 Fuller has designed a house which does away with furnaces wash days, and the need of large purse. It is food proof, can stand up under a 1000-mile gale, and will be sold by the pound.
 Here's how it happened. Fuller formerly in the building business became dissatisfied with the styie, time, and cost of house construc- tion. Why, he argued, were houses always built of stone or wood, ma terial used 5000 years ago merely because they were close at hand?

MAN IMPRISONED BY CHURCH COURT
Ancient Law Invoked on Eng iShnan Who Disobeyed Clergy

Cambridge, Eng, Aug. IS (UP)- The case of an obscure landowner who was sent to prison by a court of the Church of England has prompted an investigation into Eng fish medieval laws which may be carried to parliament.
 The landowner, John Henry Ste Vens of Cambridge, was adiudged guilty of contempt by the cccIesias- tic;l tribunal because he refused to repair tho chancel of the parish church at Hauxton as the court had ordered. The courts decision was based on a statute which had not been invoked for hundreds of years.
 Church authorities, it was believ- ed, intended to use the case as a precedent for 120 similar cases which hinge on long-forgotten stat Ctes. Despite the protests of news papers and individuals, they kept Stevens in prison for a week, releas- ing him only when he had purged himself of his "contempt" by paying for the chancel repairs.
 New Vicar Starts Something
 The case against Stevens depend el upon a forgotten clause in the
New Britain herald., 1929-08-15

title deeds to some land which he bought 5 years ago. The land ad- joined the Hauxton parish church, which dates back to 1130 A. r., and the deeds contained a clause that the owner was responsible for the upkeep of the chancel of the church.
 For years the clause had been forgotten but a new vicar came to HauXton and found the chancel needed repairing. He investigated the matter, discovered the clause and called upon Stevens to make the repairs.
 Stevens refused. maintaining the title deeds were so old as to be no longer binding. The vicar disagreed sistory court of the diocese of Ely.
 Pageantry in Court
 The case was heard with all the pageantry of the middle ages. There were four hearings in all. three in historic Ely cathedral and one in the church of Great St. Mary, Cam bridge The court, guided by laws made centuries ago, decided Stevens was responsible for the repairs Lut the landowner maintained his re- iusal to pay.
 The consistory court then met again, found Stevens guilty of con- tempt and had him arrested under warrant issued by the Lord Chan cellor. Stevens was taken to Bed ford jail. where he was kept until the repairs had been made.
 Stevens friends called the affair q 'throw-bacll 10 medievalism. R. Hopkin Morris, liberal member Of parliament for Cardigan. said he would introduce bill into the house of commons to do away with the

"Battle of Professors" Will Deter.

Party Ranks.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Virginia has set the stage for an
unprecedented gubernatorial campaign.
In the Democratic primary yesterday
the regular Democrats nominated Prof.
John Garland Pollard. He will be OPP
posed by Prof. william Mosely Brown,
the nominee OF both the Republicans
and the anti-Smith Democrats of the
State.
On the result Of the election this
Fall rests the fate of the Democratic
organization of the Old Dominion. But
there is more bound up in the elec-
ton than that. The result will In no
small measure determine to what ex-
tent the Democrats in typically South
ern States have returned to their party
allegiance, following the split Of last
year due to the nomination of former
Gov. Alfred E. Smith of New York for
President by the Houston convention.
Confident of Pollard Election.
The Virginia Democratic leaders pro-.
fess confidence in the election of Mr..
Pollard. They feel that the showing
terday is encouraging. Mr.. Pollard
was overwhelmingly nominated. The
latest figures available show that he
received 96,299 votes to 28,200 cast for
G.. Walter Mapp, and 4,455 for Rose

mately 10000 votes, with 331 voting
precincts out of 1851 still to be heard
from. The total vote in the primary
may run to 100000 when all the re-
turns are in.

last November when President Hoover
carried the State by combination of
Republican and anti-Smith Democratic
support was: Hoover, 164,609; Smith,

DR.. Brown wassnominated by the anti
Smith Democrats in Roanoke several
weeks ago in convention. His nominal
ton by the Republicans also was
through the convention route. It is i'm
possible, therefore, to make a compari-
son of primary figures between Pollard
and Brown.
The coalition candidate against Pollard
has always been Democrat up until
last year, when with many other Demo-
Gratis he broke away and voted for
Hoover and against Smith. The anti
Smith Democrats believe that it will be
possible to rally many Democrats who
are against the present control Of the
national committee by John J. Raskob,

that post in support Of Brown.

TWO SLAIN IN FIGHT
LAID TO GANG "WAR"
One Pittsburgh Man Is Shot Down
at Hospital Door-0ther Found
Dying in Street.

BY the ASSOCldIeu fIeSS'
PITTSBURGH, August Two men
were slain here last night, one at
the door of a hospital and the other
on a street in the East End district. The
police described the slayings as mob
killings" believing they may have re-
suited from a continuation of gang
fighting.
One of the victims was Steve Monas-
tero, alleged racketeer. and the other
was Tony Lilo. Monastero was enter
ing a North. Side hospital with his
brother Sam to visit a friend. Shot
guns were showed through the curtains
of an automobile parked nearby ana
fired Monastero fell and one OF his
assailants jumped from the ambush ma
chine and fired several shots into the
fallen mans head.
Meanwhile. Sam Monastero had OBJ
tanned a pistol from his own automo-
bile and fired three times at his broth
er's slayer. None of the bullets took
effect and the assailants fed.
Several hours after the Monastero
killing, police found Lilo unconscious
from stab wounds. He clutched knife
in his hand as he lay in the street. He
died in a hospital before he could be
questioned.
