was named commissioner of prohibition in 1920.
More efficient enforcement of prohibition can be
obtained through intelligent co-opeation Of all forces
charged with enforcement responsibility rather than
greater concentration of power in the federal govern
ment.
Complete responsibility in specific functions, a
spirit of cooperation and a coordination Of the va
rious functions, together with hard daily work on the
part Of all officers and executives, will accomplish
much. In my Judgment, there is no quack remedy
which deals with superficial symptoms that will
change the situation overnight. People who are
spending their time and energy on such a quest would
do well to inform themselves first on the problem, al
information is the first requisite to intelligent action,
and no mans opinion on a specific subject is worth
any more than the amount of formatio he may
possess on the same subject.
The question of details of enfocement by lawfully
constituted authority, federal, state and municipal, is
ramon and its wise determination and solution is
essential to the future of our government. Believing
as I do that the Eighteenth amendment and the ma
tional prohibition act is not only good law, but offers
the best method for the suppression of alcoholism,
which is a curse to the modern industrial state, and
earnestly wishing to bring about further improvement
IN enforcement conditions, I urge a calm. deliberate
and painstaking consideration Of this problem by our
thoughtful people.
Why is prohibition not better enforced? Why Is
it that liquor can be obtained III every city and town
Throughout the land? Why doesn't the government
lido something about it? How is it that speakeasies
remain open and do business after many complaints
have been made against them? Why does the gov
eminent poison alcohol to enforce prohibition? These
and questions of like character come to my desk con-
tinually, and they have been broadcast throughout
the land.
I am confident that if they know more of the
working details of their government, federal and local,
that public opinion expressed through political action
will keep our affairs straight.

Memorial Day Observance
Featured by Patriotic

Americas gratitude to those who
gave their lives in defense of its honor
and existence was expressed over the
Nation today.
Giving voice to this sentiment, Presi-
dent Hoovers Memorial day message,
prepared for delivery at the patriotic
pageant staged in the white ampithea-
ter at Arlington National Cemetery was
to be carried to countless millions
throughout the country to unite the
widespread observances in one mighty
unit
Surviving veterans of Gettysburg, San
tiago and the Argonne, the comrades of
those whom the citizens of Washing
ton assembled to honor, marched once
more down historic Pennsylvania ave-
hue to reassemble across the Potomac
at the National buryins ground. Other
groups of feeble men in blue and young
er veterans in olive drab met elsewhere
in the city and at various cemeteries to
join in similar tributes to the heroic
dead
The hush of the reverent tribute lay
over the city and its historic cemeteries
with governmental activities stilled and

casion. Thousands Of men, women and
children. their arms bearing flowers
visited Arlington and the other ceme-
teries where soldiers, sailors and ma
rines sleep, and not a grave was left
without its mark OF love.
Many Officials Present.
The President chose this solemn oc-
casion at Arlington to deliver his Sec
ond address since he took Office. High
officials of the Government, members
of the diplomatic corps in resplendent
uniforms and ranking officers of the
armed services mingled with the boys
of 81 and '16 in the throngs that
gathered about the tomb of the Un.
known Soldier Of the World War and
that other tomb near Arlington House
where rest the unknown Union soldiers
of the Civil War
The annual parade of the Veterans
of the Civil, Spanish-American, Indian
and World Wars, with the representa-

to precede the Presidents address.
Early in the morning, sunshine broke
through the cloudy sky and smiled en-.

PROHIBITION FIRST
LAW GROUP ISSUE
Problem Has Thrust Itself
Into Fore in Deliberations
of Commission.

Prohibition will not be doWned as a
topic for discussion in connection with
the crusade against lawlessness launch
ed by President Hoover's National Law
Enforcement Commission.
The question not only is uppermost
in the minds of the general public now
that the commission actually has begun
to function, but has thrust itself into
the fore at preliminary deliberations of
the commission, it is understood.
What Importance should be given to
prohibition phases Of the commissions
projected sweeping inquiry into the
breakdown of law observance is said
to have agitated some of the members
at initial sessions of the law group
yesterday.
Leaders "Broadmindcd."
The fact that the two ranking men,
bers of the commission, Chairman
George w. Wickersham and former
Secretary of War Newton Baker, are
known TO be "broadninded" on the
wet-and-dry question and have shown
boldness in the past in considering the
problem from liberal viewpoint, has
leo 10 the beilef tnat tne commission
will look to the two former cabinet
officers for guidance.
Chairman Wickersham already has
evidenced "courageousness' of the type
requested by the President in his send
off to the commission. Less than three
weeks ago he ventured to express the
opinion that the Jones act would de
feat itself" in consequence of the COM
plicated procedure entailed in its en-
forcement.
In an address at Williamsburg, Va,
before students of William and Mary
College Mr.. Wickersham was quoted as
saying that the policy of the Jones
law, which seems to compel observ-
ance of the prohibition law by more
rigorous penalties, probably will defeat
itself through the consequences it en-
tails. He explained that the new law

Discovery May RevoIutionize
Development of Dirigibles
in America.

Discovery of the richest natural de.
posit of helium the world has ever
known in quantities which may revo.
lutionize' the development of dirigibles
in the United States was announced
here today by representatives of the
Helium Co. of Louisville, KY, the only
commercial producers of heliun in the
United States, which now holds con-
tracts for delivery of the precious gas
TO the Army and Navy.
The discovery of the new deposit was
made by Lieut.. r. r. Bottoms, Naval
Reserve officer and chief chemist of the
company, in the Sinbad helium area
near Government Helium Reserve No. l.
Colorado. The heliun- n-bearing gas is
present over an area of $4,000 acres,
Lieut. Bottoms has reported, and he be-
lieves the quantity Is sufficient to give
the United States an undiSputed world
leadership in lighter-than-air develop
ment.
The Sinbad gas assays TOT per cent
helium content Lieut.. Bottoms re-
ported. The highest previous content
ever known was SO per cent, discovered
two months ago by the Helium Co. near
its present plant in the Utah noun
tains. The Bureau of Mines, which is
producing helium for Government use
at the Amarillo. Tex. helium reserve, Is
working with gas containing only A LIS
per cent content of heliunl
officials Are Elated.
Government aeronautics officials are
elated over the discovery, which they
believe will be the greatest incentive in
many years for lighter -than-air de-
velopment It is expected that the new
supply of gas, which probably will re-
duce the cost of helium by more than
so per cent, will make possible CONNER
cial dirigible development in this coun-
try on a scale never before dreamed
possible.
Informal announcement of the dis
covery was made here today by Col.
Turney Gratz, chairman of the Aero
nautic Advisory Board of the Common
wealth of Kentucky and counsel for the
Helium Co. Col. Gratz is an officer in
the Kentucky State air service.
This discovery is of the greatest
Importance to Government and COM

of helium in the quantity reported by

Newspapers Lead in Upbuilding
Industry in q. s., Is Sales
Managers View.

The newspapers of America have un-
doubtedly been leading factors IN the
rapid rise of the automobile industry
from comparative insignificance to the
greatest single business In the world.
This is the statement Of r. N. Mosher,
general sales manager Of the Peerless
Motor Car Corporation, who has been
affiliated with the industry for the past
% years.
Gwen in the early days." says Mr..
Mosher, ''the newspapers were quick
to see the news value Of the automobile.
They realized that their readers were
vitality interested In the doings OF the
automobile world, In new records, new
stunts, new proofs Of motor car de-
pendability. They willingly appropri-
ated large proportion OF their space
to automobile news.
"The manufacturers In turn realized
the necessity for telling their own
stories III their own way through the
medium of the advertising columns OF
the newspapers.
ut is safe to say, with the vigorous
competition that has always been part
and parcel of the automobile business,
no manufacturer making cars today
could have survived If he had not been
a liberal user of advertising in the
newspapers.
mot only has 1t proved a very neces-
sary investment from the standpoint
Of selling the public. but an equally
necessary one from the standpoint of
the dealer organization.
Automobile dealers know the value
Of newspaper advertising They would
not long continue as outlets for the
manufacturer who failed to realize the
need. They expect, and rightfully, too,
that their own personal efforts will be
backed up by a definite fixed schedule
on which they can count for help in
stimulating interest in the cars they

ROAD BUILDERS EXHIBIT
SETS NEW WORLD RECORD
More Than 10000 Participants in
Cleveland Show-Outline the
Benefits Accomplished.

AS the doors closed last week,
and the twerty-sixth annual convention
and road show of the American Road
Builders Association in Cleveland,
Ohio. passed into history at Public
Auditorium, there was consensus
of opinion among the 400 machinery
exhibitors and the 10000 road builders
present that it had set new world
record from many standpoints.
Actual facts and figures proved this
conclusion insofar as show floor space
and attendance were concerned. The
intangible good accomplished in spread
ing the gospel Of good roads around the
world will reach an amazing total in
the results Of the coming year. accord
ing to association officials. More than
30 nations had representatives here to
learn new ideas in highway planning,
road construction and maintenance and
the newest developments in American
machinery and road building equip
ment. From every State In the Union
came highway officials, engineers and
contractors to exchange ideas and eX-
periences.
The commercial benefits as the out
growth Of the exposition will be big
factor in American national prosperity
Of the immediate future, declared
Charles M. Upham, association secre-
y-director.
Upham's statement that the COM
munity which would invest in Its
future and create wealth for tomorrow,
be 1t State, city or county. must invest
in good highways to permit the easy
flow of trade and commerce, made a
most profound impression upon Cleye-
landers, since this regional area plans
to spend $4,000, 900 in the next 10
years for just such an investment in
the future Of the Cleveland territory
based on a highway planning survey by
Federal experts.
