ManyrPafaIyzed
 Drinking Bitters

With hundreds of persons in Los Angeles reported to be partly paralyzed from drinking bitters federal dry agents last week stated what they declared will be the greatest drive against medicinal beverages in the history of prohibition.
 The campaign began in Los Angeles with a raid on three cafes, the arrest of six men and the seizure of large quantity of the so-called medicine.
 Bitters and wine tOnicS were said by prohibition agents to be sold in many establishments as beverage at an average price of 25 cents. Several resorts were patronized extensively by stu dents. :. Several physicians also lodged complaints with the bureau, stating they have been called to treat numerous patients for what is commonly known as the jerks" The physicians de- clared that in virtually all cases where bitters have been drunk to excess, paralysis frequently last ing for days, has resulted.

Big Company Alter
 Oil in NortIlIand

A dispatch dated at Seward
 and published in the Portland
 Oregonian states that a $14,O0O- 900 concern is interested in drill ing Alaska fields for coal and oil to be shipped to California for development of properties in Seward. This was revealed by Bartley Howard, president of the hlaSka Matanuska Coal Com pany upon his return from the States. He did not disclose the name of the concern.
 If coal and oil are found in sufficient quantities, says the dispatch, the project would be a boon to the Alaska railroad, which has been under inveStiga- tion by a senatorial committee from Washington, D. C., because of it's critical financial condition. Present equipment of the road would be insufficient to handle the business, Howard said.
 Ed. Note: From all infOrma- ton we have gathered in this coal proposition along the rail- road, was to the effect-that there was sufficient tonnage of coal of high quality for unlimited market purposes. Now Bartley Howard is quoted as saying that eff coal and oil are found in suf- fcient quantities the project would be boon to the Alaska railroad"
 The boon would be the re- moval of conservation reStric- tions on the known coal beds and their immediate operation, Locking them up and talking of further development" is a lot of hooey.

 Locker

Six survivors who fought hun ger and storm in an open boat for seventy-tWO hours brought back the story of a tragedy of the North Atlantic that claimed ten lives.

So speedily did the stricken ship go down, there was hardly time for the three pas and the three members of the crew to scramble into a dOry.

Speculation Pains
 OF Wall Street

Without specific cheerful news
 to support, the list of leading
 stocks rallied from one to four points Wednesday. Wall Street described the movement as merely a technical reaction to be expected after the more or less sharp setback of recent days. Although trading proceeded at a somewhat slower pace generally, dealings in some of the active utilis sies and industrialS struck brisk pace at times. Allied Chemicals, American Can, Amer 1can Telephone, United States Steel, General Electric and Con- solidated Gas were among the group that showed power on the rise. Call money was two percent.

Insulted Hoouer
 During Parade

To Baltimore went PreSiden
 Hoover to review the annual pa
 rade of the Veterans of Foreign
 Wars. He took his place on the
 canOpied stand at City Hall be-
 side Maryland's Wet Democratic
 Governor, Albert Cabell Ritchie
 For three hours marchers
 Streamed by. After the strictly
 military units had passed, a
 startling demonstration develop
 ed. Veterans came along flour
 ishing beer steins. One New York
 unit Justify sang the Brown Der by's Sidewalks of New York while gesturing derisively at President Hoover. The President saw trundled by a cart bearing a keg, jugs, empty gin bottles festooned in crepe paper. He heard crowds yelling:
 There's something for Hoover to swallow! What do you think Of that, MT. Hoover? Hurrah for Ritchie! Stand up, Bert! Take off your hat! Bow! Your all wet, Ritchie!" As the wet de- continued under his nose the Presidents round face lost it's affable smile and the corners of his mouth went down into a grim expression After he had returned silently to Washington, the V. of F. w. went to Annapolis for crab feast which afflicted several hundred delegates with pto- poisoning. When enough of them had recovered to hold final business session, the orga- nization adopted (873 to 637) a demanding the re- peal of the 18th Amendment TIME.
 Ed. Those making the above demonstration forgot that they owe, to say the least, respect to the President of the United he Hoover CT any oth- CT man. And that such a de- is more fitting bunch of drunken hoodlume than tried veterans of the World War.

ANANIAS TALES MAKE HIM
 LAUGH WINNER DE LUX

Edward Everett Horton has a role that suits him ideally in The Avaitor," the Warner Bro liners all-talking Vitaphone Co., medy at the Coliseum Theatre Saturday.
 It presents him as dyspeptlc author who gets dizzy when ne even looks down at his own feet, but who has nevertheless been saddled with reputation as the greatest stunt flyer in the history of aeronauticS.
 For many years, both on stage and screen, this great comedian has perhaps been at his best as a fussy, fdgety individual, always trying to lie out of a tight sltua- tion, and always saying the wrong thing.
 As a glib, distracted preVall- cator, buffeted along by the 1orce of circumstances rather thar actuated by his own desires 1t has brought laughter to millions and has established himse1 Ill class by himself as a lgnc coihe dian.
