and said that in his opinion
aholishing the court would not eff

MEN ATTEMPTING
TO BOARD VESSEL
HAVE ROUGH TRIP
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS PUT
OUT YESTERDAY IN
LAUNCH OPERATED BY
PORTER DOCK COMPANY

Three men in boat went out
yesterday. Not the three men
described by Jerome X. jerome
in his humorous tale because they
had a dog. The yoyagers yester-
day had no dog but they surely
had a "doggone" hard time on the
trip.
Oscar founders, of the customs
service; Ralph Miner, of the
plant board and Captain Louis
Bancells started in launch be-
longing to the Porter Dock COM
pany on a trip to the steamer
Adellen which arrived from Am
sterdam with cargo of creosote,
Sunday night.
There was strong southwest
er blowing when the little launch
started. While close in shore the
force of the breeze was not felt,
but as the party neared the chan
mel the little craft began to toss
and lurch and quite frequently
was completely hidden from sight
in the trough of the sea.
1t was freely predicted by
those who were watching the
laboring of the launch that she
would not reach the ship, and she
did not. Just after reaching the
No. f8 buovy the seas began break
ing over the, bow of the vessel
and so much water came in that
it was decided to call off the
trip.
The turn was made in safety
but it was only short time after
the return was begun when it was
found that there was no gas in
the tank. The launch's engine
stopped. The boat stopped and
the anchor was cast overheard
just when the launch was abreast
Fort Taylor.
The predicament of the party
was reported to the Porter Dock
company and Pilot Boat No. / was
sent to the rescue. The launch
was taken in tow and berthed
safely at the dock. after which the
two officials made the trip to the
Adellen in the pilot boat, COM
pleted their inspection of the

House Votes Final Passage
OF Beer And Wine Measure
tBy Associated Pressl

(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, March 21.-
The house voted final passage
of the 81 per cent beer and wine
bill today, but the senate ad-
journment before the vote oc-
cured, made it impossible to send
the legislation to the White House
for President Roosevelt to sign it
before nightfall, as was PLAN
ned.
There was no record vote in
the house, only short speech
against the bill by Representative
Blanton, democrat, of Texas, pre-
ceding shouts of aye.
Since the vice-president has to
sign the bill while the senate is in
session, it cannot go to the presi-
dent before tomorrow.
Then Is days must elapse after
he signs it before sale can be be-
gun in states not having restric-
tions against it.
Immediately after the approval
of the beer bill, the administra-
ton farm relief bill was called
before the house for considera-
ton.

Spinning Wheel 'Redivivus.

The spinning wheel is coming back.
Its temperance is sponsored by the
Homecrafts League, an organization in
dorsed by the Adult Education Depart
ment of New York State. The increased
use of knitwear made from homespun
yarn, its proponents say, will serve as
another means of employment and q
source of income for girls and womsn
qualified for its operation. Thus the
old standby Of the Colonial home may
play its humble but picturesque part in
the new deal and its return may stir
neglected memories in many q mind.
There must be at least a few persons
who have not forgotten the picture OF a
beloved grandmother or great-aunt spin
ming by the hearth or in the dooryard
in the sun.
No historian as yet has given adequate
attention to the instruments and mech
anisms of the home. Their evolution
has been only sketchily chronicled. But
the theme has fascination. and doubt
less the time will come when it will be
properly studied. OF the spinning
wheel little is known, except that it Is
supposed to have come into Europe from
India in the fourteenth century. The
original form, as favored In recent years
by Mahatma Gandhi as part of his anti

Of twenty miles in q day. That type
of wheel, Of course, is not the variety
indorsed for American use. It is too
crude. The approved model is q much

The question may be asked: In what
way is handspun yarn superior to ma
chine yarn? And the correct answer
has subtle quality which may not be
commonly appreciated. 1t is the tradi-
tional difference between personal ef-
fort, personal skill and machine proc
esses. To illustrate. the disparity be-
tween hand embroidery and machine
embroidery may be cited. The one has
an individual quality which the other
lacks. Certainly, it is much too late to
cry out against the economy, the speed
and the conspicuous exactness of ma
chine production. But there always will
