ANTI.SALOON LEAGUE OPENS
CAMPAIGN FOR PROHIBITION

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2o.-P-
City by city the Anti-Saloon League
is undertaking the enlistment Va
understanding business men in a
campaign to p~opularize prohibition.
The objective, as described by T.
Scott Mcbride. general superintend-
ent Of the league. Is TO tell by news
papers, magazines. radio and mo-
ton pictures, what 1t considers the
merits OF prohibition, without over
looking a resume of unfavorable COLI
ditions in the saloon days.
The extent of this campaign was
outlined by Mcbride last night soon
after Prohibition Director Wood
cock had made known his approx
al of the prosecution in st. Louis
merchant who sold grape juice
which turned into wine.
But Woodcock explicitly SAID the
case was not a precedent for whole
sal rounding of grape Juice SELL
ers, so the problem of just how to
regard the widespread sale OF an
innocent beverage destined to ac-
quire illegal potency remained very
much in the air.
The puzzle was enlivened by re-
cent reports that ~rangsters had
threatened death to Juice men II

BODIES REVEAL
FLlERS' FATE
Two Men and Woman Found
Near Pile of Wreckage
Of Mail Plane

: BURBANK. Cal, Nov. 2o-tP-
Three bodies and a pile of wreckage
found yesterday IN the Tehachapi
foothills north Of here, revealed the
fate OF q northbound Pacific coast
airmail plane, caught in storm and
log early Tuesday.
Y Favius A. Donaldson, veteran pi-
lot who served In the army air corps
during the world war. was at the
controls Monday night when the
Pacific Air Transport plane left here
for Oakland With him we're George
Rogers, mechanic, and Miss Jean
Markow. who was celebrating her
18th birthday with a flight to Port
land, Ore, TO visit friends. The
ship carried 319 pounds Of mail.
Radio messages sent by Donaldson
to the transport base here chron-
icled the flight until 2:07 a. m,
Tuesday. At that time, after a fight
with winds, snow and fog, he re-
ported he could gain no more than
5000 feet altitude, barely 1000 feet
above the highest peaks there. and
was circling helplessly ove TETON.
where a small emergency landing
field lay hidden by snow or fog.
For AZ hours the fate of the craft
was unknown. Then Eddie M New
som. cowboy, stumbled on the broken
mass.
3 The bodies of the girl and the
mechanic were found near the spot
where the plane first struck. Don
aldson's body was encased In the
twisted metal of the plane which had
plowed to a halt 500 feet away on the
gently sloping plateau.
There had been no fire.
Aviators found indications that
Ice possibly had formed on the wings
OF the plane, forcing 1t TO earth.
Donaldson was born in Milford,
rcwa. All the victims lived in Los
Angeles.

 dollar in city expenditures It takes more money 10 buy the same num-

 vices. than was required before q crazy student shot the Austrian crown prince.
 Government bureaus are sup posed to present the most accurate ! figures regarding one thing or an i other. As 1t takes time to analyZe the statistics the figures usually are
 not brilliantly up-to-date. But they serve q useful purpose all the sam". | The figures Of tho census bureau or the Department or Commerce for expenditures of cities during the fiscal year Of 1928 are the latest available, and arc illumnatiEc.
 The figures apply on the cHpendi- lures during the fiscal year 1928 of
 an cities in the United States with a population of over S0.000 in that year. There are @50 such cities, and their aggregate expenditures have increased every year in the last twenty-five years. In part. this ln- creased expenditure for municipal

 as the expenditures of the federal government in that year.
 Adding the expenditures Of the cities and towns with less than 30,- 1 GOO population, the total cost of all ! States in 1928 came to about so5 per capita, or about s2Go per family. { The total cost of federal govern ment was about :S5 per capita. and of state government about $15

This Happens at Every Game And Probably Always Will.

At the risk of being considered . downright joy-killer and cynic, or even being accused Of something far worse than that. the Observer feels like exploding his feelings with re- spect 10 some Of the people who take up space in the stands at big athletic events That is just what they do-take up spaCc-valuablc space, too, which deserves to be filled by real fans. who not only know what the game is ali about but have a definite reason for being on hand, namely. to sec their fav- oritc team win, as distinguished from very common reason known as being present because it seems tho place 10 he.
 The football season in these par.s is over. 90 nothing can he done cboyt the situation at this time. it IS doubtful that anything Will ever 3" Gonc about it unless the colleges in charge of the biz football games and the associations and leagues cnsdg- 6 sports decide to submit everyone to test to determine their fitness 70 take q seat in the stands and bleaclcrs, Naturally, those behind the games do not care whether tho spectators know anything about what is going on so long as there is a certain amount of money in the till for every bit Of space taken up.
 Come 10 think Of it, though. what you'd be the sense Of ruling out those who do not understand the game. Probably none whatever, but would it not be nice for every one else if the others would at lea st make an effort 10 control the fact that their knoNlcdEc Of what is go- ing on would not seriously discom- mode tho cubic capacity Of d thimhle.
 For instance. Down at Yale Bowl d few weeks ago, a wcarer Of the Blue of old Eli vas thrown to the ground second Or two after tho referees whistle stopped the play. Anyone who ever played the game or knew even little about 1t could plainly see that no roughnc:s vas intended, but on all sides there we're rooters who thought it was just awful" Of course they should not be blamed for thinking but 1t would have been more pleasant for their neighbors had they rcfrajned from spending the next five minutes wish ing out loud that the trough" play CT would be ruled off the field.
 What are they bringing the ball back for?" IS frequently heard at the big games, and 1t is 10 he eN- ported that it would bc. for the rules are so numeroun and compl- cated 10 the general run Of fans that comparatively few know all of them. But-and thi. is the bad fea- turc of lt-Vhy not ask it once and accept the explanation. There will be another play in a few seconds and many more after that, so why worry about 1t. Still. no matter vhere one sits, the chatter about the "unfairness" of the officials. ttc "meaness" O. some halfback or ilneman. fills the air and cannot fail 10 disconcert those who like to
