"ME REJUVENATED? NIX" SAYS SHAW

Irish Humorist

LONDON, Aug. 4.-The report
that Bernard Shaw had under
gone DR.. Serge voronoff's re-
juvenation treatment, like the
premature story of Mark Twain's
death, appears to have been
greatly exaggerated.
Confronted with the report on
his return from Russia, the Irish
playwright made vigorous denial,
saying:
II undergo rejuvenatiOn
treatments? RidiculOuS!"
Pressed further, Shaw ad.
mited that DR.. Voronoff sug-
gested the treatment to him, but
that he rejected the idea as un.
necessary. He said:
81 am perfectly satisfied with
myself as am. Do you think
/ need to be rejuvenated?"
When he received a negative
answer, Shaw returned:
"Ah, now you are being
polite. Anyway, I have not the
slightest intention of availing
myself of DIR. VOrOnoff's Offer"

RANCE EROSION
SURVEY MADE

Range management which will
restore and maintain an ample
and palatable' cover Of grasses
and other herbs on cattle and
sheep ranges in the West will
also protect these upland slopes
and meadows from erosion and
thus afford q large measure Of
watershed protection, according
to a recent study made by the
United States Forest Service.
The maximum cover of herba.
ceous vegetation on mountain
range areas subject to torrential
summer rainfall may not suffice
to prevent all floods, according
to Director c. l.. ForSling Of the
Nntermountain Forest and Range
experiment Station, in his report
pn the study, but the results Of
this experiment show that the
heavier such vegetation the less
will be the surface run-off: that
1t will serve to reduce materially
the rapid run-off that would
otherwise result, and that it will
prevent completely many Of the
smaller floods. Improving the
stand of herbaceouS vegetation
on watershed, therefore, should
be an important consideration in
flood control on mountain lands
wherever conditions are favorable
for the growth Of such vegeta-
tion.
The studies showed the i'm
perative need Of so controlling
grazing on watersheds that the
lerbaceous cover will be pre-
served and renewed, thus pre-.
venting disastrous surface run-off
and erosion.

HIS RESOLUTION
WINS BY VOTE
46 To 18
Mayor Davis, of Takoma Park,
and Town Counsel Smith
Are Won Over to His Side

Riding to an overwhelming
victory at the meeting of the
general committee on school
sites, Major E. Brooke Lee, Demo
cratic leader in Montgomery
county, saw his resolution practi-
cally naming the site for the pro-
posed new senior high school in
the Eastern suburban district
pass by a vote of 46 to 18 last
night.
Battering down opposition in a
discussion lasting until midnight
he overturned the decision Of the
general committee at its meeting
last Tuesday night when it voted
to table practically the same
resolution by a vote of 80 to %.
Major Ben G. Davis and Town
Counsel j. Bond Smith, Of Ia
kona Park, voted for the Lee
resolution last night, although
they bitterly fought it last Tues
day night.
The Lee proposal provides that
the new school site shall be
located within tw0-thirds of q
mile Of the Sligo Creek bridge,
which win undoubtedly place the
school ut the foot Of MONTGOMERY
Avenue near Sligo Greek Park.
The resolution promises a new
high school for Takoma Park in
1888, and one in Kensington in
the same year, if the city govern
mentS of each of these towns
choose to have the schools.
At the beginning of last nights
meeting a motion by George C.
Shinn, Of the Kensington Cham
ber Of Commerce, to consider IL
school sites in regular order was
carried. None Of these sites,
varying in cost from $4,000 to
100000, was voted upon, which
left the way open to considera-
tion Of the Lee resolution.

ILLINOIS ACTION
To FORCE DRY
SHOWDOWN
80 Anti-Wet Groups Plan
D. C. Meet Next Month; 7
States Repeal Enforcement

The action of the Illinois Leg.
islature in voting repeal Of the
State prohibition law may force
q showdown in the national dry
organizations on the question of
creating a Federal police force to
operate in the notification
States" it was learned today.
The question will be raised
when spOkesmen for 80 dry or.
ganiZatiOns backing the Eight
zenith Amendment gather here in
April to map future battle plans
Of the drys.
rs Per Cent of Total
If Governor EmmerSon allows
the Illinois repeal to become eff.
fective, it is pointed out, States
having total population of
nearly 30,000,000 will be without
local enforcement acts, or nearly
25 per cent of the nations popu-
lation.
This admittedly creates a stu
alton which dry organizations
and Congress must face. While
local officers may still cooperate
with Federal agents, many drys
fear there will be little effective
enforcement in those states.
Oppose Dry Lw
The Illinois vote, coming on
the heels of Nevada's open gam
bling law and the Massachu-
setts State prohibition law repeal
by referendum last fall, makes
total of seven States declaring
against national prohibition.
Others are New York, Wisconsin,
Montana, Nevada, and Maryland.
DR.. E. c. Dinwiddie said:
"The question undoubtedly
will be discussed when the
executive committee of the con-
ference of organizations sup
porting the prohibition amend
ment meets here and canvaSSes
the situation.
"SOme of our people believe
that such States should be
allowed to stew in their own
fat and many of them will
tire of it. Others believe the
Federal Government should en-
force the law in those States.
Action Unfortunate
II think it is very unfOrtu-
nate from the standpoint of the
State and our cause that the
Illinois legislature has taken
this action.
every legislature ought to
expect to cooperate with the
Federal Government in enfOrc-
ing Constitutional law.
"And that is especially true
Of a State which, like Illinois,
has ratified the Eighteenth
Amendment.
"Our enemies have sought to
create the impression that the
Federal Government in enf0rc-
ing prohibition is invading a
State.
But there would be no
amendment if three-fourthS of
the States had not delegated
power to the Federal Govern
ment.
Not EncrOachment
"It, therefore, is not en-
croaching upon the States, but
only carrying out their man
date"
The only estimate of the cost
Of a Federal police force for the
nation before Congress is that of
Dr. j. M. Doran, former prohibi-
tiOn commissioner, He estimated
it would cost $500, 900, 900 a year.
