expensive. The skin of his face was
soft but deeply lined.
His eyes had a look of wonder
ment as if still puzzled over some
thing that had happened far in
the past.
Then it came to me with a jerk.
I was one of them-part of the
curious mixture of humanity
washing itself at the sinks.
I dressed. My coat and trousers
were a tumble Of sharply denied
wrinkles. My shoes were sodden
Jumps of leather.
cts sure a bum day for the
STEM" short old man in overallS
said to my nearest neighbor.
do you fellows know how to
get out to the Syracuse highway"
I asked. They looked at me as if
I had thrown a fit.
You can't make the highway
today" the short old man said.
''This rain is gonna keep us all
day"
We'll, I'm going to try it," I
said. I left thinking of the timid-
ity of age.
T STOOD in the rain again for an
Il hour. At last a salesman
picked me up. In short rides I
went through Herkimer, Schen-
ectady, Utica, Amsterdam.
One young fellow insisted that
take quarter for meal. One
salesman stopped on a side street
of a town to tell me Of an illicit
love affair he had. He sought my
advice. An artificial limb sales
man said his business was good.
He asked me to feel his legs. They
were both made of light metal
Il don't sit still and whine, like
lot of them,' he said, Il go out
and get mine. Any man can"
nodded my head in agreement.
At o'clock that night 1 had
reached Syracuse. I went to the
Rescue Mission home. A young,
sandy haired clerk noted the
dampness of my clothing and gave
me a warm double bed for the
night.
Less forlorn guests slept on cots.
Another attendant gave me
thick slice of currant bread and
cup of black, bitter coffee in the
morning. Once again I turned to
the highway, thumb up.

cots were set out in rows of ten.
Heads lifted up from them to look
at me. Men coughed. Muttering
came from the darkest end of the
hall. An old face looking at me
from bed next to mine. The
rain drummed on a skylight.
AS sat on the edge of the cot
Juggling at wet knots of shoelaces,
old men in long white underwear,
like scarecrowS in undresS, got up
and walked to and from the open
Mushroom.
Before I slipped beneath the
blanket placed my damp coat
and trousers under my pillow.
My limbs relaxed and I felt the
giddiness of sudden muscular
looseness. I thought of the little
apartment on the east side and
wondered what my wife was
thinking.
AS I dozed my skin began to
shrink; my scalp frightened. Over
my legs, across my chest, my face,
my hair, felt vermin crawling
with sickening familiarity. I
Sprang out of bed and struck
matches. The pillow was alive
with moving blots. 1 shuddered
and sat on the edge of the bed.
I looked down the rows of cots.
Bodies shifted and men coughed.
I realized had little choice. I
could stay or I could go out in
the rain. I lighted matches and
killed all the insects 1 could see
and crawled under the blanket.
The old man in the bed next to
me still stared in my face with
half-closed eyes.
T SLEPT for short periods,
4 turned over and YEARLY sank
back into sleep again.
Dawn was Sickly light through
the Skylight. I was awakened by
a babble of talk about lottery
tickets, dishwasning jobs, berry
picking and good places to eat.
My companions of the night
were taking turns at the sinks at
one end of the room. One brushed
silver hair with soft white hand.
Next to him, splattering water,
was a dark-skinned man with a
twisted nose.
Two of the men were old; one
leaned a cane against a sink. One

DryS Face Double Attack
BY LEO r. SACK
Times staff Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Prohi-
bition problems are concerning
Democratic congressional leaders
since PreSident-E Franklin D.
Roosevelt clearly has indicated to
them his desire to repeal the dry
laws as quickly as possible.
Two congressional drives are
planned, one to modify the Volstead
law and authorize beer, the other
Tor straight repeal of prohibition.
PRESIDENT Herbert Hoover'S atti-
tude also is important. Democrats
are not certain whether he will sign
beer bill, nor do they know what
attitude he will take on straight
repeal. On constitutional amend
ments, however, the Presidents sig
nature is not required.
Legislators feel that the financial
aspects of both propositions, when
considered in the face of the treas
ury deficit and the certainty of de-
creased income tax collections next
spring, may cause Hoover to modify
his past views.
Mills FaVOrS Taxes
Treasury Secretary Ogden Mills
is unlikely to recommend a beer
and alcoholic beverage tax in his
annual report to the President,
which in turn is passed along to
congress, unless he specifically is
requested to do so by Mr.. Hoover.
But Mills, it is understood, favors
such taxes.
Treasury experts have assembled
data pertaining to taxes on beer
and Whistles collected by other
countries as well as estimates of
revenues.
On Dec. 7, the house ways and
means committee will begin hear
lngs on a beer taxation measure.
The three big questions before the
committee will be, first, whether
the proposed legal beer shall be of
2.75 or 4 per cent alcoholic con-
tent by volume; second, the amount
OF tax; and, third, how beer will be
distributed.
Opinions in Conflict
Each Of these constitutes a prob
lem upon which there is much diff
terence of opinion. Congress is be-
ing told that 2.75 per cent beer will
not satisfy demands and will be re-
garded by beer drinkers as "slop"
and that as a result it will fail as a
revenue producer-and the opposite.
Advocates of the historic .'nicker'
schooner are urging that the tax
be kept small enough to make its
return possible, to increase demand,
and that under no circumstances
should a bottled pint be taxed to
sell at more than Is cents.
California wine growers are pre-
pairing to insist that the light wine
industry be rehabilitated along with
the breweries and they are prepar-
ing to prove to congress how in
creased taxes can be obtained.

last soil the gopher has pushed out
in order to close out the light. The
probing wire should be pushed into
the soil 6 to Is inches from the
mound. The run way will vary in
depth to IL inches average
depth to inches. The hole made
by the probing wire should be en-
larged by the sharpened broom
stick, decribing circle. This mo-
ton clears the point and does not
disturb the runway. Two or three
pieces of poison bait are then
dropped into the main runway and
the hole closed Immediately so as
not to allow the light to enter the
runway. The pocket gopher closes
out all light from the burrows, so
he will cover the bait if the run
way is exposed too long. All the
new mounds should be treated and
all mounds leveled In a day or two
any new mounds should be given
another treatment. Two treat
ments will usually kill all the
gophers.
A demonstration on your own
farm can be arranged by getting in
touch with the County Agricul-
tural Agent, st. Cloud. When this
is arranged neighbors should be in
vited so that many as possible can
avail themselves of this service.

Wisconsin, Missouri, Iowa, and

thirteenth and fourteenth, respec-
lively, in motor vehicle registra-

Iowa takes first place in the group
in license receipts with total of

$11, 724 1896; Minnesota third with
receipts totaling $10,7S4,S45; and
Missouri, $10,14O,429. The totals
place four states, respectively, in
eighth, ninth, tenth and eleventh

Pastor Resident of
China Discusses War

they could not get at and GUST
the soldiers they became more
and more brutal to the inno-
cent civilians and common peo-
pie. Their brutality took such
horrible forms that simply
dare not try to put it on paper.
It seemed as though each jap
anese were killing so as to be
able to boast as to the number
he had killed and the vileness
of his method of killing. They
always tried to justify them
selves in this, saying they were
doing it to protect their nation
ais. The Japs are good at max
ing excuses for bad acts. The
Chinese had been very trying
with their anti-Japanese boy
colt and propaganda, but were
guilty of nothing that would
justify such savagery from the
Japanese.
We have all been greatly sur
prised at the way the Chinese
troops held their positions
against great odds for "a days
and we have been more than
surprised at the cowardice Of
the Japanese troops and their
savagery. The Chinese had lit
tie modern training and equip
ment. The Japanese had most
modern machinery and every
equipment for war. Yet they,
unlawfully, and at great danger
to us. used the neutral Interna-
tional Settlement as safe and
easy base of operation, while
the Chinese surprisingly re-
spected the neutrality of the
settlement. The Japanese had
ten of war vessels in harbor and
kept bringing more reinforce
ments until they out-numbered
the 10th Army and were enabled
to nearly surround the Chinese
position. The Chinese retired
to their End line of defense
twenty miles from Shanghai.
So Shanghai is now quiet. There
are many peace parleys. We
hope they will be successful.

which may have a wire loop to aid
in making a hole for the poison.
2. An old pump handle and rod

long, to locate the main runway.
This wire should be slightly en-
larged at the tip, so there will be
no side friction when probing. This
can be done by heating the end OF
the wire to a white heat and up
setting it. This should then be
sharpened and put on the end OF
the wire with solder.
Find the main runway of the
gopher burrows. The main runway
can easily be found by observing
the shape of the mound and the
location of the plug. The mounds
are of two general types. These
mounds indicate the direction in
which the soil was thrown out by
the gopher. The main runway Is on
the straight side of the mound
which shows an indentation. On
this side is the plug. The plug is the
