ARIZONA VETS
MOVE ON DRY LAW

Tucson, Ariz. (ILNS)-Petitions to
place the repeal of the Arizona dry
law amendment to the constitution on
the ballot next November are being
circulated throughout the state. The
Arizona dry law has been an amend
ment to the state constitution since
the election of November Z, 1916.
According to reports coming from
Tucson and Phoenix sufficient num-
Der of names will easily be obtained
to place the repeal up to the voters.
About 13,500 signers are necessary
to put this question on the ballot.
A counter action to the repeal move
has been started in Tucson, where
some $50 voters have formed a group
which intends to fight the repeal Of
the amendment
Sentiment, however, is fast rising,
and if the way the people are sign
ing the petitions is any criterion, there
is little doubt but that the dry law
will be repealed by good majoriy.

Japanese Customs Odd
to Visiting Westorners

At the door of theater or a restau-
rant the japanese hand the attendant
their shoes instead Of their hats. At q
dinner the sweets, If they come at
all, are served early In the meal in
stead of toward the end. Acting In
the theater is modelled not on life,
but on the movements Of dolls in
marionette shows, and in the classic
mo" drama the possibility Of show
Ing emotion by facial expression Is
eliminated by the use Of carved wood
en- masks.

been Civilized" out of their natural
courtesy, chauffeur will refuse to
pass another on the road-from mo-

nifty "go away" Boats are beached
stern foremost; horses are backed In.
to their stalls, saving and planning are
done with pulling motion; keys are
turned in their locks In a reverse d.
rection from that which is customary
with US.

Charges Navy Bands Keep
Work from Idle Musicians

Washington, D. C. ILNS)-Ap-
pearing before the Shannon commit
tee of the house investigating gov
ernment competition with private
business, Samuel 7. Ansell, represent
ing the American Federation of Mu-
sicians, charged that navy bands are
allowed to play at private affairs,
while thousands of musicians walk
the streets in vain search for work.
Ansell declared that the navy de-
partment is consistently disregard
ing" 20year-old law prohibiting
such appearances.
"The secretary of the navy also
fails to pay any attention to our com
munications concerning the matter"
Ansell said.
He said the 145 service bands of
the army and navy often appeared at
semi-private functions "at the re-
quest of some prominent civilians who
ought to pay for the performance out
of their own pockets"

Washinxton's Supremacy

Many estimates of George Washing
tons character have been written, but
perhaps none Is more interesting than
that of the historian George Bancroft,
who summarized the great first Presi-
dent as follows: "His faculties were
so well balanced and combined that
his constitution, free from excess, was
tempered evenly with all the elements
Of activity and his mind resembled a
well-organized commonwealth his pas
sions, which had the intensest vigor,
owned allegiance to reason; and with
all the fiery Quickness Of his spirit, his
impetuous and massive will was held
In check by consummate judgment. he
had in his composition a calm which
gave him In moments OF highest ex-
element the power Of self-control and
enabled him to excel in patience, even
when he had most cause for disgust" /"

Old English Church of
Interest to Americs

Southwark cathedral, one Of Lon
don's ancient churches, known to Lon
doners as the Church In the Hole"
is falling into decay, says an article In
the Montreal Family Herald. Shake
speare used to attend divine services
there. His brother, Edmund, is buried
In the church. John Harvard, whose
donations founded Harvard university,
was baptized there In 1907. Some
years ago the alumni of Harvard re-
built one Of the chapels Southwark
cathedral Is the only English church
In which Fourth Of July celebration
ever was held. This took place some
years ago. Shakespeare and his con-
temporaries used to come over to
Southwark TO see their plays pro-
duced. They often lodged in South
wark and attended the cathedral serv-
ices. In recognition Of these visits.
there Is now a memorial window to
the famous Elizabethan dramatist in
the cathedral.

perfume. We 60 shopping and lay In a
supply OF bath towels Of the most
modern sort-rough, soft, perhaps de
signed In angles and straight lines.
We think we are most modern. Then
we read Of excavations Of tomb 1000
years old in Egypt which have brought
forth the most attractive perfume
bottles once filed with the most allur-
ing scents; and bath towels woven
In plain and zigzag stripes, some
times hemmed along the edges, with
little knots throughout their weaving
to make them rough like our modern
Turkish towels.

Early American Furniture

The furniture made In America dur
Ing the Hepplewhite and Sheraton pc
riods compares very favorably with
English pieces Of these periods. While
lacking on the one hand the greater
sophistication Of the pieces made for
the nobility and wealthier classes In
England, 1t seldom shows the crudity
OF English provincial furniture, and
there is often nice balance and a
delicacy Of line and proportion that
made these pieces most attractive
The best furniture Of this type seems
to have been made In New ungland,
New York and Maryland.

Mexico Divides
$4,000 Acres Among
Unemployed Workers

Mexico City.-An impressive cere-
mony took place at Zacatecas when
Governor Leonardo Ruiz parcelled out
among over 800 jobless laborers moro
than $4,000 acres of the Malpaso
hacienda.
Many of the laborers had been re-
patriated from the United States,
where they were discharged and left
penniless by corporations whose
agents had persuaded them to go to
that country To enjoy the alleged
high wages and living standards
which it was claimed were universal
there. A number of the workers en-
phasized in speeches the hardships
and misery they had suffered across
the border. All promised to work
their holdings continuously.

PLANK FOR PARTIES
Continued from page one

ity legislation to make it vital and
effective.
Liberalize the Retirement Act
The retirement law for employees in
the classified service of the govern
ment should be liberalized to an ex-
tent that will permit them after long
years of service to live in reasonable
comfort
Amendment to Volstead Act
We strongly urge that you incor-
porate in your platform a declaration
in favor of the amendment of the
Volstead act SO as to provide for the
manufacture and sale of beer con-
tanning ITS per cent alcohol by
| weight
Home Owning and Home Building
We urge you to declare in favor of
legislation designed to stimulate en-
courage and assist in home building.
We urge that fund similar to the
fund administered by the Reconstruc-
tion Corporation be created for the
purpose of extending credit through
authorized channels to home owners
who are threatened with the loss of
homes partly paid for, during periods
of distress and of unemployment.
Maintain Estate Tax
The workers of our nation favor
graduated income, estate and inheri-
tance taxes, and vigorously oppose
the sales tax and all other tax legis-
lation which would operate to place
the burden of taxation upon those
least able to bear it. We hold that
the perpetuation of large fortunes
through the creation of trusts and
through gift transmission is inimical
to public welfare and should be dealt
with in the same manner as estates
subject to inheritance taxes.

try, including the big walkouts of 1915
and 1920, and for his handling of
strikes in the dress industry. He was
always chosen by the organization to
lead negotiations for renewal of
agreements in the industry.
The veteran leader received a dem
onstration of affection and confidence
in May that touched him deeply. De-
spite his illness and against his doc
tors orders he went to Philadelphia
to attend the biennial convention of
the union, at which he was reelected
to the presidency.

week and SO per cent of the chair

and 250 BARRIERS here were ordered

Spelling Not Paramount

Gen. Zachary Taylor, who became
President largely because his victory
over General Santa Anna at the bat
tie OF Buena Vista turned the Mexican
war to the triumph Of the United
States, was not good speller. He
wrote an account Of the battle In
which he left the out Of reach, and
used very long sentences, one Of which
was eighty-seven type lines. He is
accused Of grammatical errors also,
which are not surprising In a SEN
tence more than 500 words long. But
one may excuse that In general who
with 5,400 unframed men whipped co.
600 fresh troops.
