THE latest improved farm ma

large wheat farms of western
Oklahoma and Kansas, eastern
Colorado, northern New Mexico
and the Panhandle of Texas.
Proof that this vast area is des-

the section is being tapped from
all sides by new railroad lines.
Railroads are pushing their lines

That's Answer of Society
to Plea for Cocktail
Ban in Homes.
BY PAUL w. WHITE
United Press Stah Correspondent


NEW YORK, June 10.-Wheth-
IN er the cocktail shall remain a
prelude to society parties was hotly
debated today along Park and Fifth
avenue and in the fashionable sec
tions of Suburbia, where dwell the
elite enrolled in the Social Regis
ter.
Until now the status Of the cock
tail-and its many alcoholic cous-
ins-has been unquestioned. among
many social leaders. 1t did not
come over on the Mayhower, per-
haps, but its frequent sponsors
maintained against skepticism that
its components did arrive on tie
Berengeria or the Majestic and
somehow got by customs.
It remained for a Philadelphia
woman to dispute the place of
liquor in the mind Of society that
is spelled with capital IS" Mrs.
George Holt StraWbridge initiated
a gentle campaign designed to
eliminate moistness from the social
functions in this and other cities.
TN her letter addressed. to Social
i Registerites, Mrs. Strawbridge
pointed to the example set by Mrs.
Edward B. Mclean Of Washington,
whose dry breakfasts, inaugurated
a year or so ago, have achieved a
measure of publicity in the capital.
Mrs. StTawbridge hopes eventu-
ally to form a national commit
tee Of society leaders. She promises,
however, mo spectacular crusade
and no public meetings" Her idea,
in short, follows:
MY thought is simply that if
people whose wealth and position
clothe them with the power Of ex-
ample can be induced to set an ex-
ample, as Mrs. Mclean is trying to
to, we could be of inestimable aid

his program for law observance
and law enforcement by the peo-
pie themselves"

MRS. STRAWBRIDGE'S pro-
1Vl posal was met with no wild
huzzahs, if recipients of her let
ter, interviewed today, reacted as
did the majority, take, for instance,
the views of Mrs. r. Stuyvesant
Pierrepont. nee De Castro.
I telephoned to twenty of my
friends in regard to the matter
this morning" Mrs. Pierrepont
said. Eighteen had received
copy Of the letter. Not one will
comply with it.
Il know of only two houses in
which cocktails and wine are not
served, and I believe that there is
not chance in the world OF
changing the custom. One of the
houses where nothing alcoholic is
served is the home of a federal
judge. I think nearly every one I
know is opposed to bone-dry
parties"
MRS. PIERREPONT revealed

Strawbridge, declaring that ito

of temperance or add to respect

Mrs. Edward S. Coffey Jr. said they
felt the same way about it.

served commented Mrs. Della
tour, land 1 suppose they will con-
tinue to be served"
Il believe that committee to
foster observance of the prohibi-
ton law" declared Mrs. Coffey,
merely would add one more busy
body organization to the amazing
number that combined to bring
about prohibition in the first
place"

Federal expenditure on airways dur
ing the year beginning July l will
amount to $7,944,oOo, as estimated by
the Commerce Department, and will
provide air navigation facilities over
about 900 miles of routes not now open.
About 5000 miles of airways now I'M
lighted will be equipped with beacons
for night flying. and after this con-
struction work Is done, something like
two-thirds of the whole sum will be
available for maintenance OF the exist
ing network of air channels.
Most of the new lighting will be
placed on the Southern transcontinen-
tai route, which runs from New York
to Los Angeles via Atlanta. Fort Worth
and Ell Paso The lights will go In
from San Diego eastward. Beacons
will be installed on the Dallas-Louis-
Vile route, while an additional atrway
from New York to st. Louis will be
laid out via Pittsburgh and Indianapo-
lis. Lighting will be provided between
Jacksonville and Richmond, to facili-
tate the operation of the South Amer
lean Air Service which takes OF from
Florida.
When the work is done, there will
be 1880 miles of trunk airways lighted
for night flying along which will be
strung IS radio stations broadcaSttne

that there will be scarcely a square
