Just precisely as American prohibition

tional prohibition in the United States
now suffers from the attacks of the dis
tiIlers and brewers and wine makers of
foreign lands.
It is an evidence both of the devotion
and of the intelligence of the managers of
the Anti-Saloon League that at their De-
troit meeting much stress was laid upon
the necessity for taking up again the work
of education in the evils of the liquor traf-
flc and of intemperance. 1t was long,
vigorous and devoted campaign along edu-
cational lines that brought the people of
the United States to the point of demand
ing prohibition. Since the Eighteenth
Amendment was enacted a new generation
has come upon the field, and youth is
pressing forward, recognizing existing evils,
but wholly uniformed as to the greater
measure of poverty, dissipation, and vice
that attended the license system to which
prohibition put an end. 1t was rightly said
at Detroit that this work of education
must be begun de novo; that these young
minds must be educated as were the minds
of their parents, and their grandparents

for the undertaking. They have put their

GERMANY MOVES
AGAINST DRINKING

The first definite attempt to
wards the control of liquor drinking
in Germany was taken by the eco
nomic committee of the Reichstag,
that country's legislative body. The
committee voted to proportion the
saloons of Germany on the basis of
one saloon to each four hundred
inhabitants Should this move
ment become a law, several thou
sand saloons of Germany will close.
Economic reasons are at the bottom
of the movement.

Not Vote Against Changing Pro-
hibition Unit to Department
of Justice
MANY BILLS PENDING
Wet Leaders are Long on Noise
and Proposals But are Short
When it Comes to Votes
in Congress

The lower House of Congress passed,
without record vote and without oppo-
sition the administration measure to take
the Federal Prohibition Department from
the control of the Secretary of Treasury
and place it under the Attorney General.
The public and the enforcement officers
have felt for some time the change should
be made, and Attorney General Mitchell.
q firm friend of prohibition, will now re-
organize the department and make it
more effective.
The measure viii now go to the Senate
where action will be delayed until that
body has threshed out the tariff question
The House Judiciary Committee is now
holding hearings on some of the numerous
measures introduced by the vets. 1t
seems to be the general impression in
Washington that aside from the bill
changing the Prohibition Department to
the Department of Justice, about the only
action which will be taken on any of the
wet measures will be on one of the nu-
merous proposals of the vets to repeal the
Eighteenth Amendment. Drys. it is said,
will bring the proposal to repeal to vote
something vets did not forsee, as the in
PRODUCTION was just to show the vets of
the country that wet leaders in Congress
are doing something. These leaders
thought the proposal would be smothered
in committee.
VETS CANNOT WIN
The repeal proposal must have two
thirds vote in both Senate and House and
then it must be concurred in by three
fourths of the states No dry or wet be-
Iieves such a majority possible, but drys
in Congress are ready to vote on the reso-
luton and administer a smashing defeat
The following Joint House resolutions
are before the Judiciary Committee OF
that body and will be considered, and
there will be enough oratory at the hear
ings to relieve the lungs and feelings Of
wet leaders.
BY La Guardia, Of New York-A con-
stitutional amendment giving Congress
control of the liquor traffic, the states the
right to fix the alcoholic content of bev-
erages.
BY Cochran, OF Missouri-"The Eight
zenith Amendment to the Constitution or
the United States is hereby repealed"
BY SABBATH, of Illinois-Giving Congress
power to govern the manufacture, trans
portation, and sale of liquors under gov
ernment permits and in packages.
BY Clancy, of Michigan-"The Eight
zenith Amendment 10 the Constitution OF
the United States is hereby repealed"
BY Igoe, of Illinois-'"That on and after
the date of the passage of this resolution
the national prohibition act, as amended,
Is hereby repealed"
BY Mrs. Mary T. Norton, New Jersey
Providing for a national referendum on
the question of repeating the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Another proposal which will bring out
lot of wet oratory is that of Congressman
Dyer, of Missouri, who has introduced
measure to legalize ATS per cent beer.
Dyer viii have an array of vets back Of
this proposal who viii try to make the
members and the country believe that 2.75
per cent beer Is not Intoxicating. or

Let us all be noble builders,
For we're climbing day by

Build a tower that all may
see;
Let it not cause one to stum-

And fall back on Bonded
knee.
| will tell you how to start it,
Tell the truth wherever you
60,
Help the poor and cherish the
lonely,
Speak kind words to friend
and foe.
Do not make no one discour-
aged,
If they're trying to do their
best;
Though their way seems long
and dismal,
Be no stumbling block or
pest.
Tell them that the way ID
open
To the ones that will i'd

Try to make them al b.

Let them not be full of fear.
If we'll do the things COM
manded,
Wouldn't we be considered
great;
We would be an architses
that's
Worth existing through the
state.
So from this day let's start
building,
For it's easier when we're
young;
Do not wait until tomorrow,
We'd have waited then too
long.
Now I'll leave this to you
hearers,
And I'm sure you'll all take
heed;
To the things I've said before

For good architects we need.

trumps with the four of clubs. In either
case Y z must therefore win three

This end play is given to show ths
necessity at times of trumping your
partners tricks in order to get into an
advantageous position yourself, or to
place your partner in that position.
For example, suppose at trick two
both A and Y refused to trump the
ace of diamonds. In that case Z can
lead a trump or the deuce of hearts. II
the former, A B must win two trump
tricks no matter how Y plays. If z
leads the deuce Of hearts, A should
discard and no matter which trump Y
plays, B can over-trump and thus
enable A B to win two tricks. Note this
end play carefully for it is tricky one.

Spades are trumps and 2 IS in the
lead. How can Y Z win two of the three
tricks against any defense?
Solution: z should lead the deuce of
spades. If A plays the trey of spades,
Y should play the four. If A plays the
ten of spades, Y should play the queen.
In either case, B is forced in the lead,
either with the seven or king of spades.
He must win this trick or Y Z will win
all three tricks.
Having won this trick, B can lead
either a spade or a diamond. If he leads
the spade, z wins the trick with the
ace and VS. king of hearts must win
the next trick. If B should lead the
king of diamonds, 4 should discard the

queen of hearts and A is forced to
trump. As Y just overplayed As truma
on the first trick, he can still do 30 no
matter what was played on the first
trick. AS a result Y must thus win
trick two and rs ace Of spades must
win trick three. In this way Y z must
win two of the three tricks. This end
play is given to show the importance Of
throwing one opponent in the lead so
that he is forced to lead a suit to his
disadvantage.

time to time, but the best way to profit
from these example hands is to be ON

would have had to be materially re-
duced to get it into the air at the
start.
The Inflated Shenandoah, sister ship
of the Los Angeles, encountered some
what similar storm few years ago over
Ohio. But although the Shenandoah
broke in half in mid air and there were
many fatalities, it never took fire and
the survivors were able to free balloon"
to earth. That might well have been
the experience of those aboard the
R-1o1 had it been filled with helium.
Regardless of the expense, however
and Of its restricted lifting capacity it
would seem that helium should be used
in all lighter-thsn-air craft. There are
certainly enough hazards in this type of
flying without adding the dread one of
soaring fame. Dirigibles, by their very
size and lightness, are unwieldy and
difficult to handle in heavy winds. The
huge gas-filled bags present tempting
surface for natures pranks. Their con-
while the sturdiest that man
has yet devised, is not proof against the
tearing forces of storm, as witness the
damage to the I'm of the famous Graf
on one of its ocean crossings
and the similar damage to the RICO in
its recent flight from England to Can
ada. OF course helium will not remove
the possibility of these accidents, but its
use will obviously eliminate one of the
gravest perils of all, the dread specter
Of all-consuming fire.

Double Parking.

The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association has taken exception to the
recommendation of the Commissioners
Trafiic Advisory Committee that double
parking for commercial vehicles be
banned. In letter to the city heads
the association points out that with the
curb space almost constantly occupied
by private cars the barring of double
parking will mean that deliveries win
be delayed and a heavy burden of
additional expense inflicted on the
merchants. The association strongly
recommends the strict enforcement of
the present regulation in lieu Of the
substitution of a new one and claims
that conditions will be materially i'm
proved if this is done. The present rule
permits commercial vehicles to park
abreast for loading or unloading, but
prohibits double parking by private
owners.
In some respects the protest is sound.
Merchants must get their goods in and
out Of their stores in order TO continue
in business. And the only way under
present conditions for them to do this
Is to permit parking abreast for brief
; periods when Il does not shut on
