All existing methods provided under

In the commissioned personnel Of the
Regular Army are being utilized by the
War Department. These efforts TO Sc
cure vacancies became necessary IN
order to provide officers for the AR

officers found physically disqualif1ed at
the annual examinations, or after dis
abling illness, are retired. Greater use
is being made of the class B law, which
prescribes what officers should not be
retained in the service. During the
1929 fiscal year there were 40 more
officers placed on the retired list of the
Regular Army than the preceding year,
and as of June 80, 1929, there were
2,379 officers on the retired list OF the

officers entered the Army after the
Spanish War and during the

be allowed to retire If they so desire.

qualifications and conditions as now are
provided by law. At the present time
the limited" retired list is restricted to

law, could retire all officers when they
reach the age of 50 years, and this
would accelerate by two years the re-

 BEAVER CREEK
Ernest Patty Makes Report on New Strike-Too
 Early to Predict

RUBY, Alaska, March 29.-Er- nest N. Patty, Dean of Mining and Engineering of the Alaska College, returning from the new camp on Beaver Creek, reported that pros- pecting is now in full swing and that prospectors will soon give a definite answer to the various opin- ions advanced.
 A oh e k-up of the formation shows geology as previously re- ported to be correct Indications gre that the floor of Beaver Creek will be 2,000 feet in width and the run of gold bearing ore will not exceed 50 or 60 feet.
 Prospecting materials are not ade- quate. The country generally is wet and some prospect holes are being lost on top of the gravel be- fore any information could be had as to whether the gravel carried gold or not.
 While tunneling has been out of the question, in the holes which have been sunk to bedrock, there are favorable indications.
 September first is considered the earliest date that definite informa- tion will be available and nothing can be done except to prospect, which is slow and expensive, ac- cording to opinions.

DEAN c. E. RICE
 GIVES ADDRESS
 ON PROHIBITION
Airs Views on Temperance Question in Church
 Talk Last Evening

My own opinion, if I may offer It Tor what it is worth as an indi- vidual citizen of America. is that prohibition has not proved A sue- cess as a moral venture" declared Dean Charles E. Rice, in an ad- dress delivered last night in the Holy Trinity Cathedral here.
 AS young man I found many good and commendable things un- der the prohibition laws of Kan- sas,' he continued. But there was the problem of drinking among the young men that was not found in wisconsin, wet state. In the pro- nloition state the man who had a bottle was a hero. And then there was the thrill and romance about getting drink under those circum- stances that appealed to young men.
 But 1t was not so in Wisconsin. The old soaks that frequented the saloons could lap up more beer in an hour than any young men could consume in week. There was no heroism, no thrill, and consequently no drinking problems among the young people"
 Quotes From Fiske
 Dean Rice prefaced his remarks by reading some passages from Bishop Fiskes book. The Real Jesus" Included in these quo- tations was the statement that Jesus declined to advocate spe- eiflc reforms; he did something better. He set forth principles which made reform inevitable and today the supreme social duty of the Church and of churches is the same-t he kindling of brotherly understanding and confidence and the spreading of it as by conta- gion."
 Strictly speaking there can be no such thing as prohibition law" Dean Rice declared during his ad- dress Laws are always positive. not negative. Negative statutes or enactments have their only sane tion in their relationship to some positive law. The law to which prohibition is related is the law of Temperance.
 The essential question is, does prohibition tend to promote tenn perance? And every man must an- swer that for himself, judgina

CHICAGO, March 29-The health department is upset over the traf- fic policemen's whistles.
 They are too harsh, too shrill, too raucous, Commissioner Arnold Kegel told the Chicago Medical So- ciety. He suggested a musical footing of some kind as boon to the city's sound-wracked nerves.
 The rattle of machine gun fire also is recognized as nuisance to the nerves, but it has not from the ear angle, become a health problem as yet.
