BIG LEAGUE PROSPECT

Denver, Colo.-There's q big league
prospect in the ranks Of the federal
prohibition officers here. A squad
recently raided Joe Grenari and Joe
Tarsia. When 1t entered the two IL
legged bootleggers threw bottles Of
whisky against q brick wall to pre-
vent the officers from getting evi.
dence. Just as the last bottle was
sailing to the wall, n Of the officers
leaped high into the air. caught II
one-handed, and saved the day.

70 DC banned in States with prohibitory
laws OF their own; the Nicol plan to
amend TO permit Congress TO- authorize
certain beverages; the du Pont plan to
amend TO cause the eighteenth amend
men. 70 remain operative throughout the
country until one or more States should
nave established a system of State con-
'io'' whereupon it would become in
operative In such State and imperative
everywhere when three-fourths of the
0,~0es nave done the same; the Quebec
pan ana other proposals.
Sucn a convention as Mr.. Bruce pro-
poses would not necessarily be of the
KIND provided for by the Constitution
Itself Tor the, proposal of amendments.
IL would as 1t now appears, be merely
convention of delegates committed to
the proposal of amending the eighteenth
smenoment and that alone. The Con-
StituCion provides that whenever the
legislatures of two-thirds of the States
thirty-two at present-shall apply. Con-
sresS SHAH call convention for propos-
ing amendments. That is the alterns-
i've method of initiating changes. the
other being by congressional initiative
any amendment proposed by such a
convention called by thirty-two of the
states must be ratified by the leeis-
latures Of three fourths of them. or
thlrty-SlX. An amendment nronosed
0y a convention such as Mr.. Bruce
suggests would have to be submitted
frst to Congress for adoption by q two
thirds vote in each house. It would
not go directly to the States for ratifi-
cation. Thus the meeting would be
simply a clearing house of ideas and
plans, held for the purpose and In the
hope of concentration upon a Single
specific proposition.
1t is not difficult to foresee the spec
tacle that would be presented at such
a meeting. The election or selection of
delegates to the convention could not
be regulated by any rule or law. Every
organization in the country with a
leaning against prohibition, specifically
or incidentally, would have the right to
send representatives. Some rule or
proposition would have to be adopted In
the matter Of voting by States It Is to
be feared that the flood of oratory
would break all bounds Of time limita-
ton. A confusion OF tongues would
most probably prevail.
Perhaps the most definite tangible
result from such a convention, If held,
would be the formation of national
organization concentrated upon one
purpose with q specific formula. It
might even lead to the creation of
new political party, though that Is quite
unlikely. But, at any rate, the plan
itself is something to talk about,
though the prohibition subject does not
now lack in talking points.

An AUTHORIZATION Convention.

Former Senator William Cabeil Bruce
has sounded a call for national con-
vention to consider the prohibition ques-
ton. He suggests meeting this year
of delegates from every State to adopt
single program of reform and to set
up q militant organization TO prosecute
that program In his statement on the
subject he reviews the various proposals
which are now urged by opponents OF
prohibition as cures for what he re-
CARDS as an unbearable condition. At
that conference he suggests that every
man with plan present 1t. For example,
the Hoyt plan to amend the eighteenth
amendment to permit the manufacture
and sale Of all malt brewed and fer
mented beverages under the control and
regulation Of the States while prohibit
ing distilled liquor; the Buck plan to
amend by permitting the governmental
sale and distribution Of spirits, this sale

PAVING WITH RUBBER.
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

With several cities carrying on anti
noise campaigns and the public gen.
orally being awakened to-and by
the noise nuisance, renewed interest
is being shown in the use OF rubber
for street pavements. Coincidently
comes the news from the rubber di-
vision of the Department of Com
merce that Investigations and expert
ments it has conducted indicate that
the rubber block is practicable from
many standpoints, the principal weak
ness in the proposal to make this use
of rubber being the question Of price.
Everybody In America has walked on
rubber-soled shoes and knows what
silent tread they impart. The police
sleuth is colloquially known as "the
gum shoe man" because of his noiseleSs
steps. Conceive, then, Of a city the
streets of which would be paved with
rubber which would endow everything
that passed over them with practical
" the same silence of movement. The
percentage by which the noise of cities
would be diminished is almost meal
culable.
Not all interested parties are wholly
in agreement on the subject, however.
Elaborate experiments conducted by
the big rubber companies are reported
by them to prove the thorough prac-
ticability of rubber paving. On the
| other hand, highway engineers en-
ployed by city governments have ex-
pressed doubts. But the Federal Gov
ernment without trying in any way
to act as q salesman of rubber, but
merely standing between and making
careful observations, now asserts that
the chief obstacle to general introduce
ton is price.
| The blocks which have been used for
street paving are from to 4 inches
| in thickness. AS a rule they are
! compounded of hard rubber base
with a surface of resilient rubber. They
are laid in much the same manner as
paving bricks or wood blocks and pre-
sent a surface smooth and Slightly
| yielding.
There seems to be little doubt about
the durability of rubber paving blocks.
In 1870 the courtyard of st. Pancras
Railway Station, in London, a place
thronged with constant and heavy traf-
| fic, was paved with rubber blocks. This
Is the first example of any note on
| record. The Department of Commerce
has ascertained that after so years the
rubber blocks have worn down just
three -sixteerlths of one inch.
| Not long afterward some streets in
Singapore were paved with rubber
blocks and, while the department has
no exact fractional figures, 1t Is stated
that the wear has been no greater
| there.
Rubber Streets Wear Well.
British city authorities have been well
enough pleased with rubber paving to
have steadily increased their mileage
London and Manchester, in England
are the most notable examples, but the
thrifty Scotch also have used the ma
terial for pavementS in Edinburgh and
Glasgow.
| Indeed, there has been enough de-
mand in England to have caused five
companies to be in the business of man.
ufacturing rubber paving bricks. Five
recognized types are in commercial use
the Cresson, Eastman, Leyland
| Cowper and North British.
