LONDON.-Even Iondoners them
selves are amazed at the great changes
coming over the face of the British
metropolis. In an effort to cope with
traffic problms connected with the con-
tinuous outward expansion OF the en-
pire capital a new extension Of the
Piccadilly Underground Railway is now
being completed at a cost of many mil
lions of pounds.
The big syndicate which operates the
underground railways is also recon-
structing 80 stations, for they have be-
come obsolete. 1t has been found that
stations equipped with the escalators
instead of elevators attract more nuSl-
ness The total cost of the Piccadilly
extension and station reconstruction Will
be fully $60,000,00o.
Nevertheless, the mass Of Londoners
prefer surface means of locomotlon.
Nearly so per cent of the journeys un-
dertaken last year within the confines
of the greater city were by bus and the
tram cars were a close second. But a
huge army must rely on the under
ground railways to go to and from
places of employment. Those VINO Will
be served by the Piccadilly extension VIII

that in the last 10 years 250,000 new

1t may be recalled how Britain built
up her economic and political power
from the position of poor and back

porous empire which was more than

it was the great prosperity resulting
from operation of the mercantile

PAINTS MIXED WITH LINSEED
 OIL DRY FAST
Frank Harris Tells of Ad- Vantage in sin g
 Best Quality

Paints mixed with boiled linSesd oil are better fitted for this cli- mate, because. of the quick drying qualities, according to Frank Har- ris, of the Harris Hardware Com rany. I5ng drying in paint is de- sirable, but because of the high probability Of rain MT. Harris advises the use of quick drying paints for exterior work.
 In addition to the perservatiye effect on buildings and roofs MT. Harris also pointed out the fact shat regular painting stops the growing elf moss on both the sides of buildings and roofs and greatly lessans fire hazard
 While all gnades and makes of paint are available in Juneau S5ores, the better grades often prove the less expensive. One reason for this, MT. Harris ex- plained, was the fact that from 325 to 400 square feet of surface can be covered with a good grade Of paint while only 200 square feet can be properly covered with the same amount of a lesser grade
 A gallon of good paint weighs approximately IS pounds, a gallon of cheaper paint about IA pounds. The greater weight per gallon is caused by the larger amount of lead pigment In the better grade this pigment is ground much finer and there is a greater quan- tity which affords better insulat- ing and lasting qualities.

posed by FORMER Gov. Harry BYRD on

fought for prohibition, said: IT am q
prohibitionist, but do not want pro-

first, because it would violate the prin-
ciple OF popular government, and Sec

this great problem can be best settled

lard explained. ''conteTnplates that any
change in the eighteenth amendment,
either by repeal or modification, shall
be passed upon by the States by popu-
lar referendum rather stnan through the
legislatures or conventions The change
is simple and may be compared to the
seventeenth amendment. which trans
ferred the election of United States

people
II believe" the Governor said. "that
any liquor legislation to be reasonably
effective must first have the approval
OF the people at the polls This par
t1cular question by well nigh universal
consent had been decided by popular
vote before the eighteenth amendment
Many seem to have forgotten that
this policy was adopted by 50 of the 48
States. and there had actually been
held in this country 1876 Statewide
referendums on the liquor Question and
many thousands of local option cleo
tons IN the cities, towns and counties.
It had become the fixed policy of the
people OF. the country to set aside this
particular question for decision at the
polls while practically all other prob

the liquor question was decided unen-
tangled with party and personal poll

II therefore favor the approval of
the Byrd plan by the Democratic con-
vention. II the question is decided
either by legislatures or conventions,
there will always be dispute as 10 how
the people stood. To, those who cling
to the policy of having prohibition
passed on by representative legislative
bodies Il have but to refer. to the fact
that national prohibition was fatified
