Tho artion a, the MnInt Pleasant

The action OF the Mount Pleasant
urging that that section of the city be
kept dry under any new liquor control
law has served as reminder that when
Washington was wet prior to 1917 there
were many such areas OF the District
marked dry by act Of Congress.
The Mount Pleasant association.
therefore. has taken the first step
toward reopening question which
figured prominently in the regulation
of the sale of liquor here In pre-pro-
hibition days. In fact, it is estimated
that the zones within which no liquor
licenses could be issued comprised
about three-fourths Of the area Of the
District of Columbia when the Shep-
pard law was passed in March, 1917,
making the entire city dry.
Committees to Get Problem.
The resolutions adopted Saturday
evening by the Mount Pleasant associa-
tion indicate that this phase Of the
liquor control problem viii be brought
to the attention of the House and
Senate District Committees when they
begin hearings on local legislation next
month, and it is likely that some Of the
other civic groups now studying the
subject will have recommendations to
make with regard to prohibited zones.
AS far back as 1891 Congress pro-
hibited the granting of liquor licenses
within one mile Of the Soldiers Home.
In 1918 Congress passed the Jones'
Works high license law, which also
marked off several other large areas of
the city as no-license zones. First, it
provided that no saloon or wholesale
liquor establishment could be licensed
in wide stretch of territory at the
west end Of the city, described in the
1918 law as follows: 1.-THE westerly
line OF the fire limits as now estab-
lished from its southerly limits to
where the same intersects with the
mile limit of the Soldiers Home !:
thence westerly and northerly along the
said mile limit until the same inter-
Sects with Kansas avenue to its inter-
section with the northern boundary of
the District of Columbia"
Many Open Spaces Then.
Twenty years ago there were many
undeveloped open spaces In this large
area, especially west of Rock Greek, that
have since been built up with new resi-
dental communities.
The same law of 1918 barred the
dALiklS ol 11CGnSSS 1,UUU IeeE
of the Marine Barracks, the War Col
lege and Engineer Barracks, or the
Navy Yard.
Prior to that, in 1907, another act of
Congress had prohibited the sale Of
liquor in the area between st. Eliza
beth's Hospital and the District Home
for the Aged and Inf1rm, or within one
half mile of the boundaries Of either
Of those institutions.
In addition to these large dry zones,
the act Of 1918 prohibited the granting
Of licenses within 400 feet of schools,
colleges, universities or churches, which
had the effect of creating numerous
small zones in all parts of the city in
which saloons could not be licensed.
These various laws, Of course, were
superseded by the Sheppard city-wide
dry law of 1917. And all except two
sections of the Sheppard law were re-

WEALTH FOR ALL
IN WATER OF SEA
Smithsonian Institution Table
Reveals There Is $4,000
for Each Person.

Great, almost beyond measure. is the
wealth of the sea.
There is gold enough, for example,
to give every one of the two billion
men, women and children on earth
each of whom might be considered as
entitled to an equal share of the COM
mon heritage of the planets oceans-a
small fortune Very conservatively CAL
culated, each share would amount to
approximately $4,000 with gold at
$40 an ounce.
Such is the conclusion that might be
drawn, as a rough approximation, from
the most recent estimates Of the COM
position of sea water contained in the
1888 physical tables of the Smith
sonian Institution. Each kilogram OF
sea water contained approximately As
millionths of a milligram. of gold. But
cubic kilometer of the ocean weighs
trillion Kilograms. and therefore II
may be said to contain approximately
As million milligrams OF gold.
$4,000 for Each Person.
The total ocean surface area. given
in the physical tables from the calcu-
lation of G. w. Littlehales for the
National Research Council. is about
365, 100000 square kilometers. There
conservative average is a little under
3 kilometers. The seas, therefore, con-
tain at least a billion cubic kilometers
of water, which would weigh at least
one sextrillion Kilograms, a number
which would be represented by the
figure l followed by 81 zeros. This
would give about trillion, five hundred
million ounces Of gold when the milli-
grams are converted into ounces. So
there are approximately 700 ounces for
each individual-which would amount
to $4,000 with gold at $40 an ounce.
Just now, of course, it would be worth
considerably more.
All anybody needs do is 60 and get
(which is quite a different matter.
No bank vault ever protected its treas
ures more securely than this gold Is
protected by Father Neptune.
Silver and Other Minerals.
While one Is obtaining his personal
share of the oceans gold, it would be
just as well to get his share of the
silver in the ocean, which would be
about 1000 times greater than the
amount of gold. Also one could help
himself to the vast amounts of iron
manganese, phosphorus iodine, copper
barium, arsenic and zinc.
The estimates of the abundance OF
the various constituents of the sea
were made by Thomas q. Thompson
and Rex j. Robinson of the oceano-
graphic laboratories of the University
of Washington.
Experiments In the past have shown
that while 1t is not impossible tc
extract the precious elements from
sea water, the cost Of doing so is vastly
out of proportion to the returns. It is
assumed also that the amounts found
In surface waters would be found at
all depths. This Is by no means cer-
tain and there is some reason to believe
that the amounts may decrease con-
siderably with depth.
The data on the earth's oceans con-
tanned IN the physical tables compiled
by Frederick E.. Fowle, physicist Of
the Smithsonian Institution, represents
the most recent agreement Of experts
in oceanographic problems.

Zoning VIII Have Effect.
Aside from eny neighborhood restric-

in a new liquor control plan at this
time, the fact that Washington now has

on the location of liquor establishments,
because one Of the main objects of the
zoning law is to preserve the residential

Stores already in existence on street
when 1t is zoned residential are allowed
to remain, but no structural alterations
can be made for business purposes and
changes In business use are subject to
supervision.
The question OF where licenses
should be granted will be only one of
many phases of the liquor control sub
ject to be gone into by the congressional
committees when they begin hearings.
