FROM HAMPTON ROADS

Continued From First Page)
the capital of Porto Rico, the landing
will be made at Ponce de Leon, on the
other side of the island.
Although the Arizona will arrive in
the Ponce Harbor, the President and
his party will not go ashore until Mon
day morning There they will be met
by Col. Theodore Roosevelt, governor
of the island. and a committee COM
posed of high officials and prominent
citizens, who, after extending a cordial
greeting, will accompany the party on
a motor ride across the island to San
Juan.
The President will take other motor
trips about the island to see the work
done in reconstruction and rehabilita-
ton since the havoc wrought by the
hurricane of 1929. The President also
will inspect some sugar and tobacco
plantations and look closely into the
work being done in the way of child
welfare and education.
The presidential visit to Porto Rico
will consume two days. The following
day will be devoted to visiting the Virgin
Islands. The President will land at st.
Thomas, capital of the Virgin Islands,
where he Will be greeted by Gov. Pear
son and a committee. Departing from
ST. Thomas on Wednesday night, the
Arizona with the presidential party will
head for home. There is a possibility
the ship will cruise along the south
shore of Cuba before heading north,
which will give the President an oppor-
tunity to see the great battle feet now
engaged in target practice in Guam
tanamo Bay. No landing will be made,
however.
Due Back March 30.
According to Mr.. Hoover's schedule,
the Arizona will land him at Old Point
Comfort during the forenoon of Mon
day, March 30 A special train will be
awaiting him there and Washington will
be reached that same night.
While aboard the Arizona the President
will occupy the cabin suite which is
designated as belonging TO the squadron
commander. Accommodation on this big
ship, however, are limited in view of the
necessity for taking along full compile
ment of officers and crew for this cruise,
which, in the eyes of the Navy, is a
trial trip for the Arizona, since its
modernization. Because of the restricted
number of cabins and "bunks" for the
presidential party, some of the men,
bers of the party will be called upon
to sleep on cots tucked away in con-
venient places.
This will be the first real vacation
President Hoover has had since Feb
ruary a year ago when he went to Long
Key, Fla, for a weeks deep-sea fishing.
Evidently the President does not antici-
pate any fishing on this trip as he is
not taking along with him his fishing
paraphernalia.
President Hoover's party viii be en-
tertained with "talkies," thanks to the
enterprise OF the Navy in installing,
ahead of schedule, a sound motion
picture machine.
The Navy Department said today in
an announcement that the latest type
Of machines, designed for maritime
service, have now been installed aboard
the Arizona, although original plans
called for the installation around
April IS.

BISHOP CR|T|C|zES
DRY ENFORCEMENT
Declares No President Has
''Done Anything" to Make
Law Success.
~ The Associated Pr .ss.


CHARLOTTE, N. c., January IT.
Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon of the South
ern Methodist Church, one of the Demo-
Gratis who opposed Alfred E. Smith in
1928 on the wet-dry issue, yesterday
sharply criticised the prohibition record
of the President.
Herbert Hoover has been in Office
for two years. and not yet does the
public know whether he Is wet or dry"
the bishop declared in an address at
exercises under the auspices OF the
Charlotte w. G. T. u, celebrating the
eleventh anniversary of the eighteenth
amendment.
Hits at Wickersham Group.
Saving 1t was time Ito take prohibi-
ton out of the hands of politicians, and
put it back in the hands of its friends"
the churchman, a resident OF Charlotte,
took shot at the WickerSham Law
Enforcement Commission.
He recalled the commission had been
charged with being a "kite-flyer" for
the President and asserted that in the
charge there is apparently much
truth"
"Not since the passing of the eigh-
teenth amendment" Bishop Mouzon
said, "has there been a President who
has done anything to see that 1t was
enforced.
1.-THE great war President (Wilson)
was not in favor of enforcement, not
because he favored liquor but because
he did not approve Of the form OF the
law
Harding, of course, did nothing, for
ne was interested in no moral question.
Coolidge said nothing and did nothing.
"And Hoover'S Wickersham Commits
sion only sits behind closed doors, &C.
casionally cracking them open to whis-
per Q little and watch how the public
will take that"
The bishop also took issue with
President Hoovers prediction asser-
tiOn that prohibition was a noble ex-
pertinent"
Denies 'NOble Experiment."
Prohibition was not a noble expert
ment when 1t was taken over by the
Nation" he declared I'm every State
which had outlawed liquor, prohibition
was a tried success.
We had tried everything possible to
regulate the liquor traffic before we
tried national prohibition. High license
had failed. Under State control condi-
tons were worse than in the wide-open
conditions. But State prohibition had
succeeded.

from the lessons of the past. Then
the present generation must be edu-
Gated against the evils If drink"

''SWIMMING AS AN EXERCISE"

The hundreds of thousands of
people who flock annually to Allan
tic City and other watering and
summering resorts, are amply proof
that the Seasides, lakes and rivers
are the powerful magnets that at
tract them to these places, with
swimming occupying the principal
part of their daily program. To
know how to swim, when arriving at
places like these is a decided ad-
vantage, and quickly adds to ones
popularity. 1t also makes the vaca-
tion doubly pleasant and enjoyable.
The oft repeated assertion that wa
ter weakens one is absurd, for the
vitality of swimmers is as high as
that of any other class of athletes.
Some men would not have their
sons taught swimming, fearing they
might become too VenturesOme. 1t is
just the opposite. Of the scores of
persons who have been helped out
of the water, it was not the educated
swimmers but always the non-swim
mers, or self-taught persons who
though they could do what they saw
others do, or because they were as
old as they were or stronger than
they.
The Fiiians are the best SWIM
mers in the world. They will readily
enter the water and kill sharr for
a small consideration. On the other
hand, the Ojibway Indians, North of
the Hiehg of Land, are unable to
swim and when they fall out of
canoe, which is fortunately seldom,
they drown. The temperature of the
different waters explains the differ
ent degrees of proficiency in the two
races mentioned. 1t is the same in
Sweden, where the small inland
lakes and streams are warm in the
middle of summer, while the sea
water never gets comfortable for
swimming, with the result that the
seacost people are poor swimmers,
while the inland people are prolici-
ent in the art.
On account of his frequent and
much more regular opportunities
for practice the swimmers taught in
the natatorium can generally swim
