SOME CONVERSIONS

Senator B rah who has been hailed
as the leader of the prohibition forces at
Washington, after being heralded by the
''drys" as unequivocally opposed to any
weakening of the prohibition law, and
quoted by the press of the nation as fully
intending to oppose any liberal legislation
in the lame duck congress regarding the
Volstead act now declares that while he
will not favor any action, he will not 'fili-
BUSTER against it. He says that it is his
belief that the majority should rule.
The attitude of Senator Borah may or
may not have been influenced by the fact
that his colleague in the United States
senate from Idaho, despite sixteen speeches
made by Borah in his behalf, was signally
defeated in the recent election. Senator
Borah is wise old owl.
He knows how to get in ont of the
rain. He knows that had he been cam
didate for reelection he would we been
defeated by an even greater majority in
Idaho than were President Hoover and his
colleague, Senator Thomas.
AS far as the other senatorial ''drys" are
concerned, the democrats have decided to
support their party platform, while the
republican "drys" say that their con-
stituents have changed their minds
The only supporters of prohibition to-
day are the professional raformers who re-
ceive salaries for their support and a
rapidly lessenitlg percentage of "die-
hards" who will always be found in any
free country.
America has been converted to be-
lief that regulation of personal habits is
unwise and expensive.

JUPITER STEALS SHOW

1t looks as if the planet Jupiter has
permanently stolen one of the most spec
tacular heavenly phenomena which in
habitants of the earth were privileged to
witness, often in superstitious terror, once
every 33 years. The swarm of neteors or
shooting stars due to have been seen
around the middle of November again
failed to appear in any large number.
This swarm of small heavenly bodies,
called the Leonid meteors from their ap-
parent origin in the constellation Leo,
made their first recorded appearance in
the year 902. The most brilliant display
known to history occurred on November
II, 1888, when the sky was so filled with
shooting stars that many believed the end
of the world was at hand.
By this time astronomers had figured
the periodical return of the meteors and
correctly predicted their appearance on
November 10, 1866, when another daz-
cling display was seen. The next re-
turn was due in 1899, but only few ap-
peared as was the case this year when the
33-year period had again elapsed.
Now it is believed that the main
swarm of meteors has been diverted from
its former path through the attraction of
the planet Jupiter. If this theory be cor
rect, the giant of our solar system has
stolen our greatest celestial show. And as
Jupiter is 1900 times as big as the earth
it is doubtful that we shall ever get our
meteors back

AUTO DRIvER-Look Ar YOURSELF

1t is time the automobile driver took
good look at himself
Personal traits and characteristics are
as much to blame for our appalling high
way death rate as are incompetence and
ignorance. The driver who passes on hills
and curves. who operates his car at Excess
siye speeds, who hogs the road and drives
on the wrong side of the highway, who
"weaves" and cuts in and out, is the driver
who, no matter how great his skill, causes
large share of the $4,000 deaths each
year.
Every state should have laws in &C
cord with modern conditions One of the
most necessary steps is more drastic super
vision of youthful drivers-it has been
found that drivers under 20 have 50 per
cent worse record than the average, while
those between 40 and so have a record 29
per cent better than the average. Auto
mobiles should be periodically inspected
in the matter of brakes, steering, lights,
etc.
The automobile death late can and
must be lowered There is no place for
the reckless, the incompetent, and the men,
tally or physically defective on our streets
and highways Sixty-five thousand deaths
in two years is mute testimony to the need
for quick and decisive action.

capabilities of thousands. inspire political

Policeman Saves
Tummy Aches as
Pie Truck Crashes
Children Forbidden to
Clear Wreckage While
Driver Is Away.

Children living in the neighborhood
of Central avenue and Benning road
northeast probably don't realize it, but
they owe an eleventh precinct police
man a vote of thanks for preventing
them from awakening with stomach
aches this morning.
If 1t hadn't been for the officer.
stomach aches undoubtedly would have
resulted from an accident that occurred
at the corner yesterday. And If you
think an accident can't cause stomach
aches, come around some time when
the youngsters in the vicinity of Gen.
tral avenue and Benning road-or any
other neighborhood, for that matter
are about to go to work on pie truck
that has just overturned!
The youngsters were sailing into the
contents of Copperthite Pie Co. truck
which had overturned and scattered its
load of pies when the policeman ar
rived.
They thought him heartless. prob
ably, but he tried to tell them he had
their best interests at heart when he
interrupted their impromptu pie-eat-
ing contest and sent them away.
The truck driver, William MoSsite,
TIA A street southeast, had been taken
away by a motorist. A check-up re-
vealed he was not injured, but there
was no telling how hurt the children
felt.

ILL MAN ATTEMPTS
TO COMMIT SUICIDE
Shoots Self in Head With Old Gun.
Recovery Doubtful, Doc
tor Says.

With bullet wound in his head and
an old-fashioned .38-caliber revolver
beside him, John H. Morris, Sc, was
found in a semi-conscious condition
in bed room at his home, 2506 Thirty
third street southeast, about 7:30 am
today.
His wife, Mrs. Mamie E. Morris, told
eleventh precinct police she and her
daughter, Lillian, 19, were in the kitch-
en- when they heard the report of a
gun. Running into her husbands bed
room, she said, she found him lying
in the bed. After emergency treat
ment. Morris was removed to Casualty
Hospital, where his condition was
termed critical
The bullet, Dr. Robert F. Carmody
said, entered Morris temple and appar-
entely pierced an eye, lodging in the
cheek. Recovery was termed "doubtful'
by the doctor, who added: "If the
gun had been of a more modern type
and In better condition. he probably
would have been killed almost Instant
ly."
In Morris bed room police found the
following note, scrawled on the back
of rent receipt:
Mother, forgive me for what I have
done. and may Almighty God bless you.
God bless all my children. Broken
health. Dad"
Mrs. Morris told police, they reported,
that her husband, an employe of the
street cleaning department, had been
suffering from i'll health for about three
years. He is the father of four other
children, all grown.

Plans for Fall Made TO Con-
serve Appropriation for
Winter Season.
$685. ALREADY USED
IN FIRST "a DAYS
Only 4,076 of 1919 Unemployed
Cases Have Been Visited So
Far by Investigators.

The Relief Committee of the Board
of Public Welfare decided yesterday to
hold expenditures of unemployment re-
lief funds to $4,000 a month during
September october and November in
order to conserve part OF the $3.50, 900
appropriation for freezing weather.
The committee received report from
Leroy A. Halbert, director of the relief.
showing that 59,358.48 of he appro-
priation had been spent up to last Sat
urday, after "a days operations. About
$4,000 of that was spent in the week
ended last Saturday.
The service is still far behind in its
work, since of 7,619 cases where appl1-
cations for help were made. only 4,076
have been visited thus far by relief
keeping we'll within the congressional
tive expenses, only $4,63445 having
been spent for these purposes.
S33,314 Used for Pay Roll.
OF the total spent so far, s33.314.43
has been for work relief pay roll,
81 ,929O O1 in cash relief, S361.76 in petty
cash and S19,118.83 for groceries, milk,
rent and the like.
If the expenditures are held down
to the $4,000 figure, the fund will
stand at about $4,000 on December /,
and plans will be made between now
and then for an appeal to Congress for
more funds to carry through the rest
of the Winter
George S. Wilson, director Of the
board, said yesterday the amount to be
asked would depend partly on the sum
raised for private relief by the Com
munity Chest drive in November. Orig
inally President Hoover approved a re-
quest for 100000 for relief this Win
ter, but the House scaled this sum down
to $3.50, 900 before the appropriation was
made.
Solicitors Are Watched.
Meanwhile reports that a charity
racket is being worked by door-to-
door canvassers have led Police Chief
Pelham D. Glassford to order all pre-
cinct commanders to keep close watch
on such solicitors and arrest any found
to be without licenses or not bona f1de
agents of recognized organizations.
The order followed complaints that
men hired by, charities to solicit funds
have absconded with the money they
collected. Licenses are issued without
charge to aims seekers after their rec
ords have been investigated by the
police.
Gen. Glassford expressed the belief
the task of Kidding Washington of pro-
fessional panhandlers would be greatly
simplified If all regular charitable So
licitorS secure licenses.
