W|kLYS-kNIGATS ARE
IN HEART OF AFRICAN
W|LDS ON EXPEDITION
MARTIN JOHNSON, FAMOUS EX-
PLORER, CABLES THAT TOLE-
DO PRODUCTS HAVE DONE
GREAT SERVICE IN PENETRA.
TING DARK CONTINENT

From the denseness of the almost
impenetrable jungles of darkest
Africa, come word from Martin John
on, famous explorer, that his expe-
dition has just completed a 4,OO0-mile
journey over almost impossible trails
with his caravan of seven WHY'S
knight car and trucks, and adds, 81
know of no other ears that would
stand up under such a severe and
cruel service"
Mr.. Johnson, together with Mrs.
Johnson, who has won fame as an AZ
rican hunter and explorer, are making
their fourth expedition into darkest
Africa to continue the work of their
previous adventures of photograph
ing wild beast in their native haunts.
Much of the territory to be penetrat-
ed by the Johnsons during their two
years stay has never before been Wis
tied by whites.
The primary purpose of the present
expedition is to reproduce in colors
and in sound all of the life of the
jungle, this being the first time that
sound pictures have ever been made
in the African wilds. These repro
auctions are expected to be invaluable
to scientists.
As in previous expeditions the
Johnsons depend entirey on products
of the WHY'S Overland Company fol-
transportation, the present car and
trucks they are using having beer
shipped early last fall. Their motor
equipment include Willys-Knight pas
senger trucks.
Prior to his leaving the United
States last November, Mr.. Johnson
said "In planning such an expedition
great are must be given in selecting
the right motor cars. The y must
stand a terrific strain and have 8
great power and endurance. For this
reason we have again selected WHY'S.
Knight cars. We have used them or
our previous trips and know from ex.
perience how we'll they stand up"
Mr.. Johnson said that he has train.
ed native boys as drivers of the vii
lys-Knight cars and trucks and thai
they become quite proficient in theil
work.
Thst the Willys-Knight cars being
used by the Johnsons in the dark con
tinent have again proved their power
stamina and durability in penetrating
the trackless wilds, is indicated in tn
cable which he sent this week to tn
WHY'S Overland factory at Toledo
The cable reads in full:
Covered 1000 miles on 60-day SAT
ari into heart Of Africa almost i'm
passable trails. All seven WHY'S
Knight cars and truck in perfect con
dition. Their performance was won
derful and had no trouble, l know O
no other cars that would stand up I'm
der such severe and cruel punish
ment."

A PHYSICIANS VIEW
Cleveland Doctor Tells Why He IS
For the Enforcement of the
Prohibition Law

DR.. GRADER, a prominent physician on
Cleveland in radio address last week,
presented physicians view of the prohi-
bition question He said in part:
1--WE favor the retention and faithful en-
fcrcement Of the Eighteenth Amendment
because of the benefits already derived
from even partial enforcement and be-
cause no one has offered a satisfactory
substitute.
There is no great nation on the globe
whose people enjoy such comforts of liv-
ing as obtained in the dry United States.
The ownership ana use of automobiles,
radios good Clothes comfortable homes;
the advantages of recreation and travel;
the possibility of enjoying high-grade en-
tertainment, and many other things con-
sidered commonplace by our working and
professional people are the marvel and
admiration of the people OF other nations"
Travellers returning from Cuba or any
other wet country, where there are thou
sands to be seen drunk on the streets and
in public places" are prone to proclaim
prohibition failure II they see or hear of
an occasional law violation at home, &C
cOrding to DR.. GRADER.
1--WE want our present laws retained and
faithfully enforced until such time as bet
ter ones are proposed" he said in conclu-
sion. Further, we are glad to be num-
bered among the great and growing body
Of law-reSpecting citizens who are willing
to forego the drinking of alcoholic bever-
ages when, by SO doing, we feel that we
are helping the fellow to whom drinking
is perhaps matter of more serious i'm
portance.
I'VE trust never to see the time when
our country will take backward step in
this great movement for race betterment."

THIS IS GOOD SENSE
No Poll on Prohibition viii be
Taken by Student Publica-
ton at University of
Chicago

The Daily Maroon. student publication
at the University of Chicago, has declined
to conduct poll on prohibition as has
been done recently in number Of other
schools, giving as its reason that at is
cheap and will mean practically nothing
because it will create a situation where
none now exists" Uselessness of con-
Quoting poll on prohibition on a col
lege campus was stressed by the college
paper in the following:
con a campus where most of the I'M
dergraduates are yet under voting age,
most of them have but the faintest men,
DRY of pre-prohibition days and are much
too immature and inexperienced to see
the situation in any but the most super
fetal light Such a prohibition survey
should never be taken seriously. Yet this
is exactly what the newspaper reading
public would do"

GOLD STAR MOTHER REPLIES
Mrs Archibald Roosevelt Representing Women Wet Organization
Gets Reply Straight From the Shoulder

Mrs Charles H. sabin, whose husband
is prominent member of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment and
whose son is the originator and head of
the new "Crusaders'-a wet organization,
is chairman Of the "Women's Organization
for National Prohibition Reform"
incidentally, attention needs TO be
called to the misleading wording OF the
name of the organization. Whether SO
intended or not a good many women are
being misled in the supposition that this
Is an organization to bring about reform
by means of prohibition. To anyone, how
ever, who reads the names of the officers,
including Mrs. Sabin, of New York, and
Mrs Courtlandt Nicoll, the secretary, also
of New York, it is apparent that it is
one of those Wringing wet organizations
that are springing up over the country to
fight prohibition.
One of the latest devices of this Wom-
ems Organization for National Prohibition
Reform is to write to the Gold Star Moth
ers in order to prejudice their minds as far
as possible by the oft-repeated libel that
prohibition was put over" while many of
the soldiers were overseas. They forget
to state that the entire House of Repre-
SE1lIdIlNeS
that passed the prohibition resolution
were elected some months before the
United States entered the war, and they
forget further to state that parts of some
of the State Legislatures were elected be-
fore our entrance into the war.
Under date of March 25 $780, Mrs
Archibald Roosevelt, on behalf of the
Women's Organization for National Pro-
hibition Reform, wrote a letter to Mrs.
John c. Smart, Academy Place, Cam
bridge, New York, as follows:
mig dear Mrs. Smart: Deeply concerned
by the ever-increasing lawleSsneSS, hypoc-
risy and corruption throughout the coun-
try as result of the failure of the Eight
zenith Amendment and the Volstead Act,
a group of women met last May to form
national organization to work for change
in the law to remedy these conditions.
To-day that organization has large
and growing membership in every state.
Tt includes women of every class in society,
every shade of political opinion and every
sort of ccupation-homemaker business
and professional women, teachers, social
workers and church workers.
ION April 23rd and oath the Organiza-
ton will hold national conference in
Cleveland, Ohio. Various committees
will be appointed, including one to con-
slider the proposals to be urged as solu-
ton for the intolerable situation in which
the country finds itself.
with the thought that our present pro-
hibition laws were enacted while many of
our soldiers were overseas, We hope that
you Gold Star Mother, will have an eS-
pecial interest in our work.
GAS member of the Advisory Commit
tee, I am therefore writing to ask if you
will lend us your influence by enrolling as
a member of the Organization. I am en-
closing a membership card and sincerely
hope that you will join us. Should you
already belong to the Organization, won't
you help us by having the card signed by
a friend?

ANOTHER MINISTER FOR
VETS

State Representative Roland D. Ware, a
Congressional minister, announced his
candidacy for the United States Senate
on an unqualified wet platform, March
25, says an Associated Press dispatch
from Boston. He is asking for the votes
of those Democrats "who favor a candi-
date who will at all times be straight
out, uncompromising foe of Federal pro-
hibition"

AN UNUSUAL COMBINATION

Lord Dewar, England's most famous dis
tiller is dead. He was noted not only as
the greatest manufacturer Of whisky in
England, but also for the fact that while
he made fine whisky, he was an abstainer
and was the author of number of pam
phlets designed to further the prohibition
cause. Lord Dewar was much in demand
as an after dinner speaker and was noted
for his witty epigrams.

Sincerely yours,
GRACE ROOSEVELT
Mrs. Archibald Roosevelt. "

Mrs. Archibald Roosevelt"
IT so happens that Mrs. Smart has
mind Of her own, and is not easily misled
on the question Of prohibition. Under
date of March 90 Mrs Smart addressed
Mrs. Roosevelt in the following letter,
which is not only model of its kind, but
should be read by all Gold Star Mothers
and others who prize the Federal Consti-
tuition and want to uphold the principles
of that great document:
Mrs. Archibald Roosevelt, 485 Madison
Avenue, New York City, New York.
"Dear Madam: was very much surprised
and disappointed to see your name signed
to the letter which I have just received
from your organization. We do not con-
meet the name of Roosevelt with backward
movements in this part of the state as
yet though see we may have to.
MY son aUaS killed overseas, fighting for
his country and in the belief that he was
giving his life to make the world better.
If he were alive today, he would be fight
ing STILL to uphold the Constitution Of his
country against people like yourselves
who are lending your support to those who
have been doing more to throw mud on
the flag and bring the law of the land
into disrespect than any German; and to
hold fast this splendid reform movement,
which, though it may be imperfect as yet,
is one of the best proofs of the power of
a democracy to voluntarily adopt altruistic
and forward looking measures for the
good of it's citizens.
at do not believe national prohibition
has increased crime, lawlessness, hypocri-
sy and corruption. I have lived over
three-score years and have seen as much
or more of all of these while the liquor
traffic was countenanced by law. I do not
see any less crime, lawlessness, hypocrisy
or corruption in Europe where they have
no prohibition than I see here. would
rather live under a government that con-
dennis and fights against the liquor traffic
which creates these, than under one that
was in partnership with it, and therefore
Directly responsible for them.
at belong to the American Legion Aux
Hilary One of the purposes of our organi-
cation is named To Uphold and Defend
the Constitution of the United States of
America I do not believe this purpose
will be carried out by helping to crown
with success the efforts of those who have
been trying to break down the law by re-
fusing to obey it, and by Boosting that
they would not obey it. That would be
promising reward to any body of people
who want to break down any part of the
law of the land.
Very truly yours,

Head of Association Against Prohi-
bition Amendment Before
Lobby Committee
MAKES MANY ADMISSIONS
Tells About Salaries and Revenue
and Admits His Organization
Makes Contributions to
Wet Candidates For
Office

Before the United States Senate Lobby
Committee, Henry H Curran, president of
the Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, made these startling admis
sions:
His salary as president of this wet So
ciety is $4,000 year and he devotes all
his time to the wet cause.
Curran's salary is guaranteed by John
j. Raskob, Pierre DUPONT Lamont du-
Pont, Charles H. Sabin and Edwin Hark-
ness
The first two months of this year. Ras-
kob gave $17.500 TO the wet society, Irenee
dupont $4,000, Pierre dupont $12. 500, La
mont dupont SIT, 500, Richard T. Crane
$12500, Arthur C. James $12,500, and
Chas. Sabin $780,
Curran testified that VIM. II. Stayton,
chairman of the Board of Directors of the
Association Against the Prohibition
Amendment, receives a yearly salary of
$4,000.
MORE TESTIMONY
Curran also testified 100 persons are en-
ployed by the Association in IL offices, and
that the annual salary of the persons en-
ployed regularly by the Association is
$251, 484.
Curran also said it cost the Association
So, 789 a year for rent.
Curran also testified that his organiZa-
ton supported congressional candidates
favoring repeal of prohibition which 1t
wanted to bring about in order to restore
to the states the right to regulate the liq-
uor traffic.
Curran also testified that $33,050 year
was paid for travelling expenses and said
the Association had II persons travelling
in foreign countries to investigate methods
of liquor control.
CONTRIBUTE TO WET CANDIDATES
Curran was asked if his wet society
made direct contributions to candidates
for public Office and his reply was yes"
Curran testified before the committee to
the effect that the Eighteenth Amendment
is the most outrageous" of all amend
ments to the Federal Constitution, but
that the Nineteenth Amendment had no
business in the Constitution" The Nine
teenth Amendment is the amendment
which gives women the right to vote.
Curran admitted that the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment con-
sidered the qualifications before taking
action on candidates for Office. He de-
clared in answer to a question that his
association would not support dry can
didate for Office.
Asked by a member of the committee II
he favored a resort to arms, if it were
necessary for his organization to win its
point, Curran replied, I'VE will cross that
bridge when we come TO It,"
