The case against the 32-year-old st.

SCHOOLCLOS|NG
. IS DEFENDED

In answer to numerous pro-
tests from Senators, Representa-
tives and others interested in the
suspension Of the Army School Of
Nursing authorized August IL,
last, for reasons Of economy, Maj.
Gen. Robert U. Patterson, sur
geon general of the Army, today
stated the discontinuance of the
school was not a new proposition.
He said its economic value to the
Army was questioned by an in
spector general a year or so ago.
The immediate decision to sus-
pend operation of the school, ac-
cording to Genera. Patterson, was
based upon a study made by the
surgeon general in August, last,
which was reviewed by the Gen.
eral Staff and approved by the
Secretary of War.
Economy was one of the i'm
portant factors in reaching a de-
cision inasmuch as the annual
expense of the school was con-
siderable and the prospective ex-
penditures necessary to 'eplace
temporary housing facilities would
have run into large figures.

TRENTON, N. j., Oct. 9
UNSO.-Although Republican
leaders said today they had not
discussed a successor to the late
Dwight w. Morrow, as United
States Senator from New Jersey,
it was believed possible the ap,
point:1ent might be offered to his
widow.

Committee, wrote to Gov. Morgan

Mrs. Morrow is also known to
have the support Of the Ridge
wood, N. j., unit of the Republican
Women, Inc, and other New Jer'
sey women's clubs.
The outcome may depen d
largely on Mrs. Morrow herself.
At their home in EnglewOOd, Ar
thur Springer, secretary to the
late Senator, indicated that she
would not be interested in the ap.
pOintment. T. was understood,
however, that che might consider
it If it were offered.

county is strongly for law observance and
law enforcement. The forces bent upon
breaking down the law are active and
noisy, but they represent minority. Their
success in preventing enforcement in many
places is only due to lack of organization
and lack of knowledge as to what to do
and how to do it. The placing of reSpon-
sibility upon officials responsible for lax
enforcement is essential. The moral effect
of an organization in the field checking
up on conditions and firmly pressing home
upon officials their powers and duties, will
in itself be great stimulus for better en-
forcement. -
Organization is needed to make the dry
sentiment effective-to obtain action when
requests are made for better conditions in
places where enforcement has been al
lowed to sag.

The close call which Illinois has just

It is the writer's opinion that law en-

the dry policy is to be of such repute that
candidates for the legislature and con-
gress can support prohibition and win;
and that nothing short of organized action
will speed up the law enforcement ma
