AGED L|GHTSHIP
 ORDERED RETIRED
Craft That Served 75 Years to
 Be Broken Up

Washington, Aug. 7LP)-A beacon that has guided sailors on storm tossed waters for 5 years will go out on August IS.
 The department of commerce an nounced today that on that date Lightship No. 1 of the government lighthouse service would be with drawn from service and broken up.
 Built in 1855, it was the finest ship of it's kind in the United States and she went to the important station off Nantucket Shoals light station, 200 miles east of New York and in the direct line of transatlantic traffic.
 Her wooden hull and sails are antiquated and most of her value now is because of the tradition that clusters about her.
 She was 37 years off Nantucket and was blown many times from her moorings. She was withdrawn from that exposed station in 1892 and re- placed by a vessel equipped with a screw propeller.
 Later service has been in milder southern waters and after she retires there will be no government light ship in service without propeller and power equipment.

DRY LEADERS ARM
 FOR l932 CAMPAIGN
Prepare to Meet Strengthened,
 Wet Democratic Party

Little Point Sable, Mich, Aug. z R)-EXecutives of the Anti-Saloon League of America, gathered here in conference, already are preparing for another wet and dry fight in the 1882 presidential election.
 The democratic party, they con- cede, will then be stronger than it was in 1928, and in the words of Dr. F. Scott McBride, national superin- tendent of the league, the chances of having democratic nominee friendly to prohibition "are not very hopeful"
 Gathered yesterday for the open ing session of their conference in a little church almost hidden by sand dunes, on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, the league executives from all over the United States heard re- ports predicting few reversals for the cause of prohibition m the fall cleo tfons
 Democratic Activity Alarms
 Although those elections are the immediate concern of the league. principal alarm was expressed over the activities within democratic ranks thus far in advance of the next presidential election.
 To counteract those activities, pr. Mcbride urged accumulation of a bigger war chest, strengthening Of state organizations and planning Of definite offensive against the vets.
 T am of the opinion" Dr. Me Bride said, that the time is over ripe to go to the public with a chal- longing call and program. A more adequate fund for a more adequate program is demanded if we are to meet the needs of the day.
 Dr. Mcbride sounded a cheerful note in his report of the political situation to date.
 Claims Dry Primary Victories
 50 far" he said, twenty pri- mary elections nave been held. We have not forgotten, however, in car ing for the primaries, the non-par- tisan methods of the league. Par ticularly in those districts where the vote is likely to be close in the cleo tion, we have made it point to win drys in both major parties.
 These 20 primaries have embrac- ed most of the doubtful districts. They have proved 10 be a cross sec tion of the country, extending from Oregon to Maine and embracing the very critical states of Pennsylvania New Jersey and Illinois. It is within those states that the vets have had their chance to win. While the vets put on a big campaign and spent more money and effort than ever be- fore, they have not made any worth while inroads on the prohibition ma jority in congress. There, has been no loss of drys in either house. They were badly routed and disappointed in Pennsylvania. They have. how ever, become geratly encouraged over the nomination of Dwight W. Morrow in New Jersey"
