CIV staff Correspondent


SAN BENTTO, Feb. 26.-Erection
OF q building or buildings 70 provide
an auditorium, library space, city
administrative offices, woman's
ciubrooms. health unit offices. and
possibly offices for the chamber Of
commerce IS advocated in q resolu-
ton passed by the Kiwanis Club
at It's meeting at the Stonewall
Jackson Hotel Wednesday.
The resolution recommended that
a bond issue for S125,00 Dr. what
ever amount is necessary, be sub
mitted for the financing Of these
proposed structures.
IL was pointed out In the resolu-
ton that san Benito can well az
ford 10 provide the buildings since
Il has a bonded Indebtedness OF only
Z per cent OF its actual valuations.
The club resolved TO cooperate
with the chamber OF commerce and
city officials In accomplishing these
objectives and expressed hope for
early action.
The resolution pointed out that
auditorium and library facilities
would give local citizens many adj
vantages which they do not now
have. The auditorium would not
only provide meeting places for
local citizens. the resolution said.
but would help in bringing conven-
tions which are regarded as hav-
ing a high advertising value to the
city.
c. L. Miner. secretary OF the
club. read the resolution which was
prepared by the public affairs COM
mittee and approved by the board
OF directors. and w. S. Brock moved
its adoption.
A committee composed OF J. NJ.
Jones and Louis s. White was
named to seek endorsement OF
other organizations or the project.
The club heard a talk from Rev.
L. A. Boone OF Harrington, Method
ist, In which. he cited the reasons
why man needs 70 evolve new
values.
He pictured developments which
may be expected IN the world OF
science. declaring that man Is ac-
tually Just beginning 10 learn. Man
can never overcome any natural
forces but he can use them. Rev.
Mr.. Boone said.
In his conclusion he quoted Stein
metz. the great electrical wizard
who died several years ago. rs say
ing that tie next great develop
ment would be in the spiritual
realm.

DRY BODIES
PREPARE FOR
81 ELECTION
Would Have Political
Units In Each of
The 40 States

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. tF-
ORGANIZATION Of well centralized
politico-temperance fighting units
In each OF the 46 states bore the en-
dorsement today Of the national
conference OF organizations sup
porting the eighteenth amendment.
DR.. Ernest Cherrington, presi-
dent OF the dry conference, said the
decision to form these units, reach
ed last night, was pointed directly
toward the next presidential cleo
ton. He asserted 1t was the most
significant step yet taken by the
assembled leaders OF the SO organ
tied prohibition groups.
AS the third day Of secret ses-
gfons opened, the conference began
consideration Of q proposal TO form
a board dedicated almost solely 70
placing dry planks In the 1892 plat
forms Of both political parties.
There was. however, some objection
% the measure.
Approval Of the plan 10 set up
state temperance conferences, each
to be represented as q unit in the
national conference, was not gained
until shortly before midnight last
night. 1t was part OF a drastic re-
writing of the organizations con-
stitution.
Other highlights In this unpre-
cedented revision we're:
establishment In Washington Of
a national headquarters for the ma
lions combined dry groups.
Creation Of a committee or
board Of strategy" Of IS out
standing dry leaders TO provide a
unified command upon all matters
arising between meetings Of the ma
tional conference.
An opening-up OF the organiza-
ton to permit the election Of ma
tionalIy prominent men and wom-
en- not members or any dry organi-
xation.
DR.. Cherrington said today II was
hoped the effect OF these provisions
would be TO create an overwhelm-
inRly strong national temperance
group, modified to present a CO.
ordfnated front upon al prohibit
ton matters.
IN the organization to be init
eted Immediately throughout the
United States. ne said. the state
unit OF the Anti-Saloon League,
the w. G. r. u. Good Templars.
and other national groups would be
invited 20 Join state conferences
similar in organization to the ma
tional conference.

BILL TO REPEAL
Presidential Primaries In
Illinois Starts Fight

Springfield, Ill. (ILNS)-The state
senate, in passing a bill to abolish
preferential presidential primaries
has set the state by the ears, with
charges flying thick and fast. A
fight of major proportions is expected
in the assembly.
Ex-senator Charles S Deneer
called attention to the fact that the
assembly passed the bill to establish
political monarchy" in Illinois a
day or two after Spain threw it's king
off the throne.
Mayor Cermack's personal secre-
tary, Representative Henry Sonnen-
schein, introduced on January IA a
bill identical with the one just passed.
Now he says he intends to withdraw
his BILL asserting that he never in
tended it to call for abolition of the
primaries, but only to change the
date. His critics point out that it's
concluding line reads "and to repeal
section 29," which is the section pro-
viding for the presidential primary.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis
calls the repeal bill dangerous legis
lation" that would deprive the peo-
pie of any voice" in selection of ma
tional convention delegates and can

Stephenson, no doubt sensing pub

Thinking the American people all
foolish he put it this way, which fools
nobody:
anyone knows who gives the mat
ter the slightest thought that wage
levels are controlled By impersonal
economic principles. They are not
subject to the real or supposed per-
sonal wishes of any individuals or

out of the earned incomes of indus

IT HEY'RE trying to kill off our

The next step will be to work on
the few remaining senses so that even
a moron can get the point. During a
movie Of snowstorm, the theater
ought to be brought down to zero, for
instance.
The next step will be to employ
scents. When the heroine is powder

cast odeurs through the theater.
