Says:

BEVERLY HILLS, Calf, MAY 7.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has prohibited the sale
of anything in which liquor might
be held or transported, in bottles,
jugs, barrels, buckets, gourds, TASKS,
corks, labels, boxes, mails and bur-
lap sacks. Can't sell any of these
but you can sell the wheat and corn
that its supposed to be made with.
In other words, according to the de-
cision you are allowed to make. but
not allowed to have anything to
hold it in. You see, its on account
of decisions like this is why they got
to be careful of the type of men they
put on the Supreme Bench.

The speaker said he would put the
development of the Anacostia mats, now
being done under the direction OF the
Chief of Army Engineers, all under the
direction of the local government:
He further advocated that all law
cases involving offenses against the

Favor Trolley Tax Amendment.
A resolution was adopted at the meet
ing urging that the law compelling the
street car companies to pay 4 per cent
tax on the gross receipts be so amended
as to permit the Public Utilities Com
mission to reduce this per cent by q
sliding scale, so as to permit the public
utility to earn the full amount that
may be decided by the court to be fair
without any increase in car fare.
The resolution was introduced by w.
I. Swanton, who declared: Recent
court decisions and congressional hear
ings indicate the possibility of an in
creased car fare, at least temporarily, as
a result of the proposed merger" due to
capital charges which would be made
necessary by the expensive track
changes and other changes before the
resulting ultimate economies could be
put into full effect.

purchase ground in the vicinity Of

AIR COASTING By Mary Graham Bonner


 They're waiting for us up above said the Little Black Clock.
 "What?' asked John.
 "Yes, up in the air" said the Little Black Clock. T told them that we'd be along quickly"
 Are we going flyingP" asked Peggy
 Well, we'll fly up there, but we're going coasting," said the Little Black Clock Everyone likes to coast, isn't that true?"
 "Coast?" repeated John. You mean we're going to glide in the air or coast a little before we 'land?"
 Not bit of it." said the Little Black Clock. We're going to go ooasting-regular coasting-up hill, down hill. Only instead of going up and down hill we're going up and then going to coast down into an air pocket.
 Then back up agaln and down once more. The plane is waiting for us now"
 They went up in the plane and landed at one of the air landing places attached to huge air ship. Then they got into a coaster, as it was called.
 This is almost as popular as coasting down hill was in your time" said the Little Black Clock. At first it seemed quite dan gerous thing to do, but nobody else seemed to think so. And all the children were doing it.
 They coasted down into air pock- cts and then they would fly up again But, of course, it was the coasting down that was fun.
 And then John and Peggy saw something that seemed very funny indeed.

Universal Service Dispatch from San Francisco in
 Seattle ost-IntelgencerD SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 18.-Prohibiton has set back the cause of temperance in Alaska twenty years
 Thus the Right Rev. Peter Trmble Rowe the loved Bishop of All Outdoors" Patriarchal Bishop of the Episcopalian Diocese of Alaska-the biggest in the word-scathngly summarized an attack today upon the Eighteenth Amendment and the chaotic conditions it has wrought
 The Northlands famous flying bishop" seventy three years old arrived in San Francisco on Ma tional tour, accompanied by one of his five Indian ministers, native of the Alaskan Metlatkatla tribe
 The venerable prelate told of the harmful influ- ence that the Prohibition laws have upon the people of Alaska.
 "The people of the North have always drank alcohol" the Bishop said. Drinking do not re- gard as a great sin. Drunkenness is abhorrent. Prohibition has changed the people from a drink ing race wooed to the virtues of temperance into nebriate class.
 At the dances and other social gatherings, now we find young people-and old too for that mat ter-drunk actually drunk There never was any such condition before under the benign influence of the Volstead Act
 We had educated the people to accept tenn perance. The Indians and Eskimos were temperate.
 And then, within year after Prohibition came to Alaska they had forgotten what we taught them and had fallen into drunken ways. The Pro- hibtion law it's advocates claim, fashioned to protect the weak from their own weaknesses Ii that be so, it has defeated its own purpose. Of their own accord the chid-like natives had become temperate They learned the value of temperance and self respect But the moment that Prohibition went into effect liquor became forbidden fruit. Naturally they wanted it. -e
 Prohibition, without question has wrecked more harm upon Alaska than any other time in it's history Only it's repeal remedy the damage it has spread And even then, we must start in at the beginning once and perform all that educational work over again. It has been sad mistake"

COOLIDGE IS FOR HOOVER.

Arthur Sears Henning, Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune and generally regarded an authority political matters, is convinced a the result of a recent visit with him at Northamp ton that former President Coolidge is the revers from being at loggerheads with the Hoover Admin istraton He believes that the former Presiden .s a supporter of the Hoover policies and desire to be helpful to the President
 Telegraphing the Chicago Tribune an accoun of his visit, MT. Sears said:
 It is known that he feels MT Hoover is acquittng himself splendidly in the Presi- dency and that he desires to do all in his power to aid his successor.
 It is secret among his friends that one of the reasons MT. Coolidge consistently had refused to write on current events for newspapers and magazines, to give inter- views to speak on public affairs, IS his desire to be helpful to MT. Hoover.
 In declining offers and invitations of such import, he has stated that he prefers not to discuss matters which he cannot profess to be so well informed the men in office in Washington. To one importun- ate editor he calculated that he would not think of making MT. Hoover the victim of such unnformed comment as he suffered from during his six years in the Presi- dency.
 From remarks that he has dropped to his intimate friends it also appears that MT Coolidge takes philosophical view of the suggestions cropping out from time to time that he should be urged to stand again for the Presidency in 1892 or 1886.
 He observed that this is one of the phenomena attendant upon the ex-Presi- dency unless the retired Executive be in i'll health like MT. Wilson, in other public office, like Chief Justice Taft.
 He is prepared to be the subject of such suggestions so long he retains his health and vigor which will be a long time to come, if one may judge by his appear ance at the age of ST. He looks filter if anything, than he did when he came to Washington Vice. President nearly nine years ago
 Commenting upon the proposal of some Ba, State Republican politicians that MT. Coolidge be candidate for the Senate this year to succee, Senator Gillett, who is retiring. MT. Henning says
 So far, MT Coolidge has discouraged the suggestion.
