TWICE IN SAME PLACE

Norristown, Pa. - Lightning is said not to strike twice in the same place, but John Masercola will swear that wind does. Two weeks ago a gale swept through Bridge port and tore the roof from his house. He had a contractor put on a new one. Then the wind blew off the second roof, deposting it in his back yard. John is moving.

on the question is reflected in the
preponderance of drys in Con.

Michigan, at a meeting of the
Cleveland Park Women's Chris
tian Temperance Union at the
First Presbyterian Church last
night.
Representative Hudson ex
pressed doubt of the truth of the
statement that there are 5000
bootleggerS in Washington and
that there is drinking among high
school children. He added that
he understood that the smart
thing in society at the present
time is to refuse to serve cock
tails.
President Hoover was quoted
as having declared in a conversa-
tion with Hudson that he in
tended to make the Capital as
clean as the White House. The
legislator also declared that
years ago children were given
nickelS to buy liquor, as children

Mrs. Howard Hogue, national
recording secretary and president
of the Virginia organization of

the gathering. Her assertion
that "the man who makes boot
leggers prosperous should be pun.

prohibition cause has been helped
greatly by the recent Congress

In the East however, the privately operated
and endowed colleges were the first to rise, and
there is far greater variety Of schools. most

the old conservative Eastern colleges hasten to
tighten their entrance requirements and limit
their enrolment if the latter is increasing too

it is generally conceded that the greater the
