FIRST WHISKEY REBELLION

The first whiskey rebellion occur
red in 1894, in the Western Counties
of Pennsylvania. The uprising was
directed against a tax administered
by Alexander Hamilton. George
Washington gathered an army COM
posed Of the militia Of neighboring
states, marched into the disturbed
districts, seized the leaders Of the
insurrection and restored the au-
thority of the government. 1t cost the
government $1,500,000 to suppress
the whiskey rebellion, although at
that time the total expenses for mill
itary purposes amounted to only
$4,362, 900.
The tax in controversy ranged
from nine to twenty-five cents a
gallon. At one time the rebels M
der arms were estimated to number
10000.

ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART

His fingers strayed over the key
board,
Night to the close Of day,
The sounds of his making brought
reverie
And longings for one far away.
His fingers strayed idly and slowly.
Same dreams Of her young. face
so fair,
Her sweet lips and peach-like COM
plexion,
Her blue eyes and fair shingled
hair.
He longed for the hour Of their meet
ing,
Mourned for the time she had
stayed
For his typist was on her vacation,
And of course all his work was
delayed.

PROHIBITION is OF "IN-
DESCRIBABLE VALUE"
CAPTAIN DOLLAR, WHO
MADE SUCCESS OF "BONE
DRY" FLEET, DECLARES

Under the title, Americas Great
est Steamship Operators View on
Prohibition" the Manufacturers Rec
ord publishes the following inter-
view with Capt. Robert Dollar:
when I took a feet of 20 ships,
five years ago, any number of per-
! sons, all kinds of people, told me l
could not run them successfully un-
less I served liquor on board. Not a
drop of liquor ever has been served
on one of those ships-and they are
running still, and the passenger list
always is filled. If ever I have to
turn bootlegger or serve liquor on
my ships, I'll give up or go broke
I won't do it. And what kind of
man would I be if I carried liquor
on my ships and at the same time
said to my officers and men, "Any
one of you who takes a drink of
liquor will be fired instantly" No
sir; my ships never have carried
liquor and never will.
'I was banished from my home
from Scotland, my native land-at
the age of 13, by liquor. Our family
had sad experience with liquor and
at 13 I left home, and I vowed then
and there that never would I touch
drop of liquor, and I never have.
In my long life in the lumber busi-
ness and the shipping business, I
have seen hundreds of young men,
fine young fellows, with every pros
pect for fine, useful lives-absolute
ly destroyed by liquor. Young fell
lows who started with me, but took
to liquor, went into the gutter. All
my life, from boyhood, I have seen
closely the wretchedness that liquor
causes.
prohibition has been God-send
to this country, and above all to the
poorer people. And, most of all, it
has been of indescribable value to
the women and children of the coun-
try. It is the women and children
who suffer most, in the end, from
the evil effect of liquor on the men,
and prohibition has spared the wo-
men and children an indescribable
amount of suffering. Under prohibi-
ton, money which went to the sa-
loon and the liquor seller goes to the
stores for clothing for the women
and children; it goes into the saw
ings banks by hundreds of millions
of dollars each year; it is invested
in automobiles and other recrea-
tions. Prohibition is a God-send to
this country ."-Christian Science

Durable Decorations for the Porch

Is your porch furniture weather
proof? Are your chintzes sun fast
and your comfortable chairs and
hammocks well able to Withstand an
unexpected downpour? This out
door retreat should be furnished for
durabilit vas well as for comfort and
charm and the combination is cas-
lily obtained by using painted furni-
ture. With painted pieces you can
have any color scheme you want and
at the same time be sure that your
furniture is adequately protected
against changing weather condt-
tions. In other words, coat of ap-
ple-green enamel or bright orange
lacquer will not only be decorative
feature but will prevent the wood
from deteriorating and will insure
its length Of life.
Both these products are durable
but the particular quality which en-
dears lacquer to the homemaker is
its quick-drying faculty. Within half
an hour after an article has been
lacquered, it is ready to be used
which means that every stick of
furniture on the porch can be lac
quered after luncheon and put back
into service in time for the family
gathering in the evening.
Success in Iacquering depends
largely on the brushing methods. 1t
cannot be stroked back and forth
like paint, but must be flowed on
with a full brush. If it fails to
smooth itself out, try brushing lit
tie lacquer thinner over the sur
face. 1t is better, however, to avoid
re-brushing, if possible. One coat Of
lacquer is generally enough for re-
finishing, two for new work.
Enamel should also be flowed on,
but it may be brushed more than
lacquer, although not as much as
paint. The brush should be full,
but not dripping, or the finish will
be uneven. Redip the brush when
ever the enamel begins to get thin.
When enameling furniture that has
never been finished, two coats of
fiat paint or of enamel undercoating
are required, with a third coat of
enamel. For repainting, one coat Of
enamel may be enough IL there is no
change Of color. Furniture that is
exposed to the wear and tear Of the
elements can have no better pro-
lection than good grade Of exter-
ior enamel.

Our Weekly
Washington Letter
Hands of TOiIers

The man who works with his
hands has often been extolled in
rhyme and prose. His sweat-beaded
brow, his blue denim shirt, his toll
worn hands have been woven into
pictures that have made the manual
laborer a romantic figure. The latest
addition to the galaxy of approving
! phrases comes from no less a per-
son than Thomas A. Edison, the
greatest labor-saver of them all.
81 believe in cleanliness, of
course" he said, "but really there is
nothing I enjoy seeing more than
the signs of recent work on the
hands of a man or a boy" Honest
toll, of whatever character, is build
ing the foundations of prosperity,
and the signs of that toll are honor
able. Americas industrial progress
is made possible by the grimy hands
of million workingmen, but her
reputation for consideration and
cleanliness is based upon the fact
that the workingman can wash off
the signs of his labor before he goes
home.
Industry is gradually making it
possible for tho man who carries a
dinner pail and wear overalls on the
job to leave at the end of the day
looking and feeling as spruce and
neat as his white collar brother.
Lockers, showers, and washrooms
are essentials in the best organized
plants. Posters and plant meetings
advocating cleanly habits strengthen
the ideas which these facilities
themselves suggest. Hands that
show the signs of recent toll need
not be grubby hands, and If they are,
they are likely to indicate a sloven-
ly workman or backward indus
try.

Better Wheat Prices

There is shortage in the yield of
wheat in certain dry areas, includ-
ing Kansas, and there have been
heavy rains that have done consid-
cradle damage in the Southwest.
The wheat crop of the Nation looks

ceived in Washington. However, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture is optimistic that there will
be a general wheat-price advance
this season.

Safety Sense

The fact that statistics show that
more than half of the injuries in

broken and flying glass it is con-

Pittsburgh, when broken by apply
ing great force to it, does not shat
ter or fly. Demonstrations and prac-

injuries may be prevented through

Seeks Game Preserves

Senator Robinson of Arkansas
has been urging bill introduced by
him to establish game sanctuaries
in the national forests. The bill
passed the Senate, with amendments,
at a previous session, but failed in
the House. The new Robinson bill
embraces the amendments adopted
by the committee on agricultural
and forestry, which gives it good
chance to get through Congress.
The amendments proposed were
drawn by the Agriculture Depart
ment. The President would select
the personnel of commission to ad-
minister the law and set aside the
areas to be taken into the game
refuge program on recommendation
of the Department of Agriculture.
The sanctuaries are for the pur-'
pose of providing breeding places
for animals on grounds of national
forests, with the approval of the
State Legislatures in the States af-
fected. The measure contemplates
affording such protection as will
prevent many types of wild animal
life being completely wiped out.
