ANN ARBOR, Mich, May IT, Man lives but a few moments without oxygen, but some plants can go without for 10 to 100 hours before showing injury.
 Although plants do not breathe in the human fashion, scientists speak of the "resperation" Jf plants. The green things use oxy- gen much like persons.
 Experiments in shutting off the oxygen supply of tomato plants are reported to the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Sci ence by P. R. Gustafson, of the University of Michigan.

a menace to safety and q contributing
factor in the congestion problem. The
committee says:
stopping for traffic lights where q
light is unnecessary or improperly timed
irritates the motorist and encourages
contempt for traffic control and regula-
ton"
Parking as a factor in congestion is
dealt with at length by the committee
and is pointed out as one of the serious
and growing phases of the problem. The
committee asserts that terminal facin :
ties for vehicles, especially in centrT
business districts, are essential to t."
transaction of business At the sal
time 1t is pointed out that parking cl
the streets Is an uneconomic practice.
AS one means of relief, the commit O.
suggests the separation of SloW-moVlCv
traffic from the fast-moving traffc:
either by lanes on the streets ana
highways or by the use of separa {
streets. Commercial vehicles should not
be barred from any street, in the view
of the committee. however, until suit
able alternate routes have been found.
Enforcement Is Vital.
The pedestrian movement requires
the most careful attention as an aspect
of the problem. the committee continues.
It finds also that opinion is divided on
the question OF whether pedestrians
should be required to obey the trafiic
laws and signals.
The committee adds:
''It is obvious that there is need for
much greater cooperation between
pedestrian and motorist. Motor traffic
making turns has a tendency to disre-
gard the right of way of pedestrians
proceeding on a green light, and when
signals change drivers frequently over
look the necessity of permitting pedes-
trians to reach place of safety. Pedes-
trisns far too generally disregard the
traffic signals, either by proceeding
heedlessly through lines of lawfully
moving vehicles or by crowding out in
such manner as to retard the traffic
fow."
The committee finds that effective
ness of regulations of control depend in
a large measure on proper enforcement.
Proper education of the public In
these matters through newspapers and
the activities of civic organizations will
60 far in the opinion of the committee,
in establishing respect and obedience to
traffic control methods.

son Arthur, credited reports today that
she was on her way to Reno to sue for

Organization Seeks Guidance
in Meeting Attacks
Upon Prohibition.
BY the Associated Press.


EVANSTON, Ill, September 5.-The
Women's Christian Temperance Union
has called upon its members to pray
that the organization may be guided
in meeting the attacks upon prohibi-
ton"
In the Official call for the flfty-sixth
annual convention at Houston, Novem-
Der IA to 10, the w. c. T. u. said:
THE year has been eventful. Our
opponents have been active, have been
well supplied with funds. and publicity
has attended all their efforts.
The attempts to organize women in
opposition to prohibition and to work
for its repeal are a challenge to Ameri-
can women who love their homes and
recognize the liquor traffic an enemy
to the Nation.
"The w. G. T. U. was born of prayer.
Every step toward prohibition was &C.
companied by prayer, and we hereby
call upon each State to set aside one
hour in the State convention for PRAYER
that our organization may be guided
in planning for the future and in meet
ing the attacks on prohibition"
There will be little or no politics at
the Houston convention, explained Mrs.
Anee Marden De 70, secretary, but
rather will it be gathering to arouse
spiritual interest and to strengthen
education plans and campaigns of the
organization. Most of the political
questions in which the w. G. T. u. will
be interested will be disposed of at
State and county conventions.
The temperance call was signed by
Mrs. De 70, Mrs. Ella Boole, president,
and Mrs. Margaret G. Munns, treasurer.

Mrs. Field, whose husband is presi-

The evils of rum were being discussed
with ardor when Mrs. Field inquired
if she might ask a question. The w.

ahead and ask
Mrs. Field wanted to know why, if
the liquor question had been settled, a
certain institution for the cure of
inebriety had greater patronage now
than before prohibition.
That's simple" replied Miss Helen
Hood, State president of the w. c. T..
u. 1T is because the institution to
which you refer now has a monopoly
on business formerly shared by dozens
of institutions now closed. And, besides,
they now treat drug cases"
Mrs. Field then walked to the plat

CHICAGO, September 5.-The fem
mime feud of Illinois politics today was
assuming proportions Of a national
precedent.
with Mrs Lottie Holman O'Neill en-
tered as an independent candidate for
the United States Senate, opposing
Representative Ruth Hanna Mccormick,
Republican, and James Hamilton Lewis,
Democrat, the first picture of two
women contesting with a man for high
Office is painted into national history.
Mrs. ONein predicated her candi-
dacy on what she termed the dissatis-
faction of the dry people OF Illinois
with the declaration of the Republican
state Convention" on prohibition. That
declaration bound the party canoldate,
Mrs. Mccormick, to abide by the de-
cision of the voters in the wet AND dry
referendum to be taken in November.
Has Been Republican.
Mrs. ONeill, Illinois first woman leg
iSlator. has heretofore sought once as
a Republican. She has long been a
militant prohibitionist
Former Senator Lewis has announced
ne will campaign as candidate for
repeal and modification OF prohibition
laws
Mrs. McCormick's answer to the chal-
lenge of her new foe was a statement
from Springfield, where she arrived last
night on her tour of the State with
other Republican candidates and lead
ers. The candidacy of Mrs. O'Neill,
Mrs Mccormick said, was calculated

candidate, who stands for notification
and violation of the laws enforcing pro-
hibition and notification of the Con-
stitutiop of the United States" and was
"a blow at the cause of law enforce

majority rule in Illinois and the third
candidate now entering the race Is Ike

Cormick statement added. Il accept

Split at 1928 Convention.
Mrs Mccormick asserted also that
the third candidate now in the race
disaprees with the President when he
saws citizens have a right to work
openly for repeal"
Mrs. Mccormick and Mrs. O'Neill,
former associates in women's activities
of the Republican party, reached the
parting of the political ways at the Ma
tional Republican Convention OF 1928,
when Mrs O'Neill was candidate for
national committeewoman from Illinois.
The rift widened when the woman leg
islator charged Mrs. Mccormick with
responsibility for Mrs O'Neill's failure
to obtain legislative Craftsmanship she
sought.
Sharing interest November 4 with
the outcome of the triangular contest
for Senator will be the decision Of the
voters on the prohibition referendum,
involving State and national laws. Mrs

bow, as to prohibition, to the voice OF
the voters.
