REPEAL
OF Dry Act BY End OF Year
Seen By Labor

New York City (ILNS)-Organized
labor, following its success in secur-
ing the modification of the Volstead
act, predicts through Matthew Woll,
the repeal of the 18th amendment be-
fore the close of the present year.
"The American Federation of La
Dor at its convention last October
recommended repeal of the 18th
amendment. Since that date labor in
each of the sixteen states which have
voted repeal of the 18th amendment
was among the leading advocates of
repeal" said President Woll, of la
boris national committee for modifi-
cation of the Volstead act.
"Our success in these states and
the reports we have received from
our representatives in twenty-five
other states warrant the prediction
that 1884 will welcome the return of
sanity, of temperance, and the end OF
fanaticism and racketeering, through
the repeal of the 18th amendment, !"
continued President Woll.
The executive committee of labor's
national committee, meeting in New
York, reviewed the activities of the
last three months.
Reports indicated that with only
thirty four states having legalized
the manufacture and sale of beer, en-
ployment opportunities exist today
for almost one million workers who,
stead act, were among the unem-
ployed
The executive committee, upon rec
ommendation Of President Woll, fol-
lowing authorization of the American
Federation of Labor, voted to change
the official title to labor's national
committee for modification and re-
peal.
| Reviewing reports from each of the
thirtyLtwo states wherein qabor is
actively seeking either the repeal of
the 18th amendment or the modifica-
ton of the state prohibition laws, it
was voted to make more intensive
drive the next six months with the
belief that the necessary thirty-siX
states will have voted repeal of the
18th amendment prior to January l.,
1884. This intensive drive is deemed
necessary to eliminate the over-confi-
dence on the part of many who favor
repeal

however, Japan has outstripped China

Glow Worms Set Trap
to Catch Food Supply

Most people are acquainted with the
glow worm-the insect whose phos-
phorescent light Is frequently seen In
country lanes In Waitomo. North Is
land, New Zealand. there is cave
called the Glow-Worm cave, where
the insects live under shelter.
BY the light of 8 strong torch one
can see the worms overhead, with lit
tie threads which look like strings OF
seed pearls hanging from them. The
strings are sticky and are the means
Of catching mosquitoes and other tiny
insects, which, attracted by the glow
worms light, fly to their doom.
AS they struggle on the sticky sur
face they set up vibrations which
warn the worm that a capture has
been made. The worm then hauls up
the threads and the victims are de-
voured. Should there be no foolhardy
insects to be captured, the worm can
live on its threads, which 1t eats and
then spins new ones. When observing
glow worms, 1t is necessary to pre-
serve absolute silence, for II the least
sound Is made the threads vibrate and
the glow worms put out their lights.
The worms owe their existence to a
certain fly which lives for a month
and lays eggs from which emerge the
glow worms; these, In turn, live about
three months. At the end Of that time
they spin cocoon, from which In due
course more flies issue forth to lay
more eggs and thus start the strange
cycle again-Tit-Bits Magazine.

A watt is a unit of measuring cleo
trio current.
A kilowatt represents 1000 watts
1t equals about one and one-third
horsepower of energy.
The installed generating capacity
for electric current in the U. S. in
1881 was about as million HIP.
Three million HIP. was added that
year
Multiply that by TAG to get the
kilowatt capacity.
The total production was 81 billion
kilowatt hours.
Of that, IL billion kilowatt hours
were sold for domestic use.
Book value of the plants and
equipment was about 13 billions.
Only the railroads of the country
represented a greater investment.
They totaled a value of about 20
billions.
Gross revenues from electric cur
rent sales in 1881 were 1870 millions.
They claim to have paid taxes of
220 millions.
Well, what of it?
What has all that to do with the
Great Depression?
1t may have lot to do with re-
covery from the depression.

Because, 70 per cent of American
homes are wired for electricity.
The wires have been pushed out to

Increasingly, mechanization implies

There is no telling how far this new found interest in intercollegiate rowing may go on the Pacific Coast" writes Paul Zimmerman from Los Angeles.
 If the facts had been told year ago, Washington and Califor- mia, the vests two crew-minded institutions, were in quandry Since neither was flush with mon ey, it was not considered likely that either could compete in the classi. Poughkeepsie, later called off, and that left them with one race on the calendar.
 Then the enthusiastic Major Goodsell talked the University of California at Los Angeles into the sport and put it over in large way. California and Washington were invited, expenses paid, to par ticipate in a coast championship at Long Beach, and that went over
 Given the excuse for his en- thusiasm, Goodsell then planned and promoted the regatta, with such success that it gave Washing ton the opportunity to clinch it's claims to the n at on a college sprint" championship When they row less than three or four miles, it is considered sprint

 "The chances are not good that Washington, California, U. c. L.

 It was the aftermath of the war which gave intercollegiate polo its great chance. The Army Remount Service and the Reserve Officers Training Corps supplied mounts, stabling quarters, and the officers qualified to train.

Erskine Outpitches Junge by. Narrow Margin

The Elks last night, although counted out of the flag chase in the City League, halted at least for the moment the march of the American Legion to the coveted bunting by winning to 3. The winning run was scored with two down in the last of the seventh, Little Mac counting from third when Manning booted Livingstons grounder.
 The Elks' victory cut the Vets lead over the Moose to a single game. Erskine, hurling for the win ners, shaded Junge, holding the hard-hitting Warriors to six hits, one of which ought to have been an out, and flaming eight.
 Junge Hard Hit
 Junge was hit hard, not the or dinary safeties but hits directed at his person He yielded only eight safeties from which the Bills manufactured but two earned runs, the other two resulting from er- TOTS. But he was hit hard by two battede balls and a thrown ball from the outfield in the seventh found slodgment right on the but ton and kayoed n:m as completely as if he had run into one of Max Baer's right hand smashes.
 I In the first frame, Livingston drove liner through the box that caught Ken a glancing blow on the shoulder It stung but did no damage In the fifth inning, M.

In the seventh, ball thrown in from the field by West took a bad hop and socked Ken in the jaw as he Sstooped to make a pickup aslowly strengthened up, way cred Js minute, then slumped to the ground. He was completely out. Revived by cold water appli- cations, he resumed his mound duty, tanning Tom Haines for the next out.

 It wasn't all assault and battery on Junee, however. 1t was a bet ter than the average ball game and the few cash customers who were on hand didn't squawk
 The Elks scored one in the first frame. Jernberg doubled to right center He advanced to third on an infield out by Haines and SCOT ed when Livingston bounced a line drive off Ken's shoulder. Rol- Ter came over fast and had Curley at first but Andy missed the ball.

Western rowing thus finds itself out of the woods for the time being. Right on the heels of Wash ington's victory the University of Southern California announced it was going to make a place for the sport on it's extensive schedule.
 "If and when the Trojans, who have been listening to Goodsells teachings, despite his across-town affiliations with U. c. l.. A., launch their navy, it is considered likely that Stanford, once identi- fled with the sport, will return to the water Oregon also has in bet ter times considered varsity rowing
 Ut is hard for Goodsell, or most of the 15,000 persons who saw the event for that matter, to believe anything but that the east will take kindly to the idea of it's becoming an annual affair, not in competition with the class c Poughkeepsie Especially does Good sell believe this will be true since expenses are to be paid.
