CANNON TALKING AGAIN OVER THE
 PRESIDENCY
Says Drys Have Friend in White House, But Would Vote for a Dry Democrat

Baltimore, Md. Oct 13.-(UP) Bishop James Cannon Jr has lit-
 tie hope of making the country
 really dry in the sense that it will
 be impossible to get, drink. he
 told H. L. Mencken In, a copy 1 righted article published in the
 Evening Sun.
 The head of the Southern Meth
 odist prohibition forces also told Mencken he would rather support
 a democrat than President Hoov-
 CT, but that the democrat would
 have to be q dry. However. he
 gave Mir Hoover credit for turn
 ing the tide in favor of prohibit
 tion.
 ''The presidents message to con-
 gress when he sent in the Wicker-
 sham report" he told the noted
 critic turned the tide. Before
 that time the public was not sure how he stood. But when Mir Hoover gave out that message he sent a thrill .thruogh the drys. The wavering drys now saw that they had a true friend in the White House, and then bucked up at once. To-day they are full of steam."' .4. rs. ..
 Referring to the 1892 cam paign and the man the prohibi- ton forces would support. Cannon said, according to the article: My hope is that the democrats will nominate a dry next year. l don't ask them to adopt a dry platform. In fact, I have al- ways been against it. I don't want prohibition to become party issue. All ask for is a declara- ton for law enforcement, . Then prohibition will drop out as an issue, and the campaign can be fought on some other ground-say tration. If this comes to pass against Hoover"
 Cannon predicted, however. that should the democrats name an nti-prohibitionist, Mir Hoover would be reelected.
 What of Franklin D. Roose- velt?" asked Mencken.
 His grace" the article con- tinued, made gesture very un- like the sign of the cross. Roosevelt he said, was dry in 1920 now he is wet. To- morrow he may begin to go dry again. Let these vets take him." Speaking of enforcement, ac- cording to .Mencken, Cannon said: "I suppose we must give up such places as New York and Baltimore. When I speak of the United States I exclude them .. if man really wants to drink he will always be able to do it-at least in Baltimore and New York" He said his next crusade would be to save the institution of mar riage from what he termed its state of decay. through the medium of stricter marriage and divorce laws. He added, however: But I am well aware, of course. that any impediments we could devise would only increase the number of irregular unions. The whole problem is very difficult. give it a great deal of thought, but I am still in doubt about the solution"
 concluded, "as 8 fair warning to whom 1t may concern. If the tLibidc Dominandi and the Libido | of Freud ever really comes to grips, 1t will be a combat indeed" a

 Then one day, dressed in all my finery. 1 slipped into a little mission in the Canadian town where I attended school, attracted by the voice of the handsome young preacher, Robert Semple He had curly brown hair and a beautiful face and he upset me.
 "At first I giggled at some of the things he said but l couldn't for get them. I went again and then one afternoon driving along the country road in a sleigh, something happened. A warm glow filled my heart and I began to pray to God to forgive me. was converted" "
 Thus simultaneously Aimee was won to love and to the church. She flung herself into the ex- citement of the revival. meetings. She absented herself from school day after day to sit in the crowd ed mission room, Nothing her mother and father could say or do could keep the girl away.

 No reporters no photographers at that wedding.
 There was no elaborate trous- seau either There was no posing before motion picture cameras, Aimee, the blushing bride, had seem only ohe motion picture show in her life at that time. She had attended just one dance-and danced with the village preacher.
 Those were the days when Aimee was a red-head. She attended In ,gersoll Collegiate Institute and her chief claim to distinction was the fact that when school programs were given Miss Kennedy always won applause for speaking the best piece"
 She had admirers-yes, indeed. In 1907 Aimee entered a popu- larity contest, staged by the Wood stock (Ont) Sentinel-Review. She won more votes than anyone else and was awarded the grand prize free vacation trip down the St Lawrence to Quebec. It was Aimee's first view of the world out side the small Canadian commun- ity---a world she was to encircle and conquer.

BIOLOGICAL SURVEY LAKES
 PRELIMINARY REPORT ON
 THE ALASKA RAILROAD BELT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-As the result of intensive studies during the past summer of the mineral resources of the belt tributary to the Alaska Railroad, the Geological Survey an- nounces that that region contains inn portant reserves of gold, silver, lead, and zinc, large deposits of sub-bitu- minous and bituminous coal. and pos sibilities that there may be an an- thracite field of commercial. import ance. Gold lode mining 7is being ac- lively carried on in number of camps, and several..sof these show great promise of increased production from mines already operated and from other lodes, so far undeyeloped.
 The investigations in the railroad belt. the preliminary results Of which are here announced, were made under especial a appropriation to the Alaska Railroad for the purpose-of determin- ing the possibilities of the ssaveral districts for furnishing tonnage from their mineral resources to the rail road over a period of years, and the Investigations were confined solely to districts in which lode deposits or coal were known to exist. Nine sep arte projects were organized under the general direction of s. R. Capps, with individual geologists assigned to Fairbanks, Kantishna, Mount Eielson Copper Mountain). Valdez Creek and the West Fork of the Chulitna river, Willow creek, Girdwood, Moose PasB.- the anthracite field of the up- per- Matanuska valley, and general survey of the nonmetallic resources of the region other than coal. In ad- dition the Eva creek mine was exam med, and other metallic lodes were visited.
 The results here announced must, however, be considered tentative and subject to modification later, for much office work remains to be done in the preparation of maps, the study of specimens, thin sections, and assay returns, and the final preparation of complete reports. Indeed, the actual determination of the value of the many properties must depend on the results of Fassaying, and the returns from the assays have not yet all been received. Nevertheless, certain state mepts are justified from the field ob- servations and the data now at hand.
 The scope of the field work includ-

Residents of the Saorstat and kindred
souls in the northern counties today
celebrated st. Patrick's day with nation
wide religious ceremonies, civic pro-
grams, sporting contests and fsasts and
dancing which may last until tomorrow
morning.
An eleventh-hour legislative omission
prevented drowning the shamrock in

who did not live too far away there
was a prospect of a trip over from III
ster, where restrictions closing publ"
houses on ST. Patrick's day do not hold.
Resolution Languishes.
A resolution which would have re-
pealed the restrictions, now nearly a
decade old. was on the calendar of the

late yesterday afternoon, in time for
today's celebrations, but for some rea-
son it was left off the listing of the
days events and cannot come up until
Wednesday.
