TEMPERANCE TALKS
By Lucy Smith Guseman

By Lucy Smith Guseman
Clayton, Delaware
Some time ago one of our great
educators stood at the four-corners
of a large town. On one corner
was a church, on the second corner
a boarding house, on the third cor
ner a schoolhouse, on the fourth
corner a saloon. AS he glanced
around he made the remark, This
is surely a strategic point. Saliva
ton, starvation, education, and
damnation.'
Since hearing of this remark I
have been doing soma deep think
ing. Which of the four are we
getting the most of? We are hav-
ing lots of Starvation" 1 know,
but it is the last one on the list
that is causing about nine-tenths
of it. The other day a man came
to our door begging for help for
the wives and children of the men
who are in jail. I told him that /
felt sorry for the wives and chill
dren but that most Of the trouble
was caused by strong drink. He
said, You are right
If some one could only get the
head men of the nation to realize
this there would not be SO many
millions Of dollars needed for re-
lief. Until they do realize it and
make some different laws I do not
think that times will be much bet
ter.
1t is the boys that I am mostly
interested in-the men of to-mor-
row. 1t is said that most of the
drunkards contract the habit be-
fore they are twenty-one years old
Do you know, boys, that these
bloated, red-faced, half-crazed men
were once as innocent as you are
now? You have no thought of be-
coming like them So please take
warning and let the vile stuff
alone. If not, your fate may be
similar to that of the drunken boy
down near Bay View who beat his
mother and left her bruised and
broken body for some one else to
care for. And there are thousands
of such cases.
One of the leading Temperance
men of the nation has made this
statement: Figures show the ap-
palling fact, that alcohol is killing
off as many Americans every year
as all the wars of the world have
killed in battle for two thousand
three hundred years, or applied to
the whole race, we find that alco- |
hol is killing three million five hun
dred thousand white men every |
year."
There was a demon came out of
the Deep
A fiend that blighted the eyes to
see;
That frightened the dreamer out /
of his sleep,
And chilled the heart with a sud
den leap,
And numbed the brain with his
stealthy creep,
Yet gentle and kind he seemed
to be.
His victims were numbered as the
sands,
Maiden and youth and hoary
age;
The wisdom and courage of many
lands,
Hears of manhood, and dimpled
hands,
They came to his death feast,
ghostly bands,
Weak fools and the strong mind
ed sage.
lis name was Rum, grisly and
grim;
Crueler, ten times told, than
you'd think;
disery poisoned his beaker's brim,
Death eternal, and hate, and sin,
Want and woe; he pour them in,
And game them to the world to
drink" I

Slight Quakes Felt
In Northern Canada

TORONTO, Ontario, Nov. 2
UN.SO. - The earth settled
down" at 9:33 a. m. today after
its violent spasms of yesterday
and in doing so it sent new ire
mors through Eastern Canada.
The shocks we're very slight
however, and passed unnoticed in
Toronto and most other towns
They lasted two minutes and were
recorded on the seismograph at
the Dominion Meteorological
Bureau where William Carroll
SeiSmologist, said:
"The record on the chart was
about the same as that which
would be made by a passing truck
It means that the earth is just
settling down after the disturb
ance yesterday morning"
North Bay, Owen Sound, Peter

felt the shocks more distinctly
than did Toronto or Ottawa.

struck this city Thursday morn
ing was much less than previously

it to be about $500,000.

SWISS ACTION
PROTESTED

GENEVA, Nov. 2 GN.S).-Led
by Great Britain and France, nine
nations today protested to the
League of Nations against action
Of Switzerland in applying the
arms embargo equally against
Italy and Ethiopia.
Besides Britain and France, the
nations were Russia. Rumania,
Czechoslovakia, Yugaslavia, Tur-
key, Greece. and Bulgaria.
These nations each reserved the
right to discuss the Swiss atti-
tude later and possibly to bring
the matter before the Permanent
Court for International Justice
at The Hague.
The issue would be whether
Switzerland, as a member of the
League, has the right to make
such a distinction in applying the
arms embargoes efter the League
had voted it be applied only
against italy and thai all League
members specifically lift embar.
goes against Ethiopia.

the government processes to rule
in the name of the absent former

The nationwide plebiscite, held
as a result Of the recent royalist
coup, will determine whether
Greece is to become a kingdom
again or whether she will revert
to republican government.
But the royalists are virtually
certain to win because Of:
/. Imposition of a censorship.
2. Issuance of a stringent law
affirming" the new regime under
Marshal George Kondylis.
3. Arrest and deportation Of
republican chiefs.

Skyscrapers Immune
To Earth Shocks

NEW YORK, Nov. 2 G.N.SJ,
With no occurrences of yester'
days earthquake shocks, the East
calmly went back to the business
of ordinary living today.
Two experts had predicted ad,
ditional shocks. while two others
took contrary views.
In the meantime, hundreds OF
New York city policemen and
firemen, and building, subway
tunnel, and telephone inspectors
we're completing a checkup Of all
the metropolis structures. They
reported skyscrapers, Transports
tion lines, lighting, water, heat
ing and communication systems
undamaged.
SkyScraperS ''Immune"
Metropolitan residents we're
given further assurances when
architects, engineers, public Off
cials, and a Seismologist declared
that the far-famed skyscrapers
would be immune to any seismic
shock equal to those yet recorded
on earth.
Wooden buildings. old buildings,
and frame structures of all sorts
would be easily demolished by a
big tremor, they admitted, but the
steel and concrete overlords of the
financial and midtown sections
would withstand almost any type
Of quake.
Othmar Hermann A m m n n,
chief engineer for the Port of New
York Authority, said it would take
more than the tremors of the San
Francisco quake of 1907 or any of
the Tokyo quakeS to damage seri-
ouSly the Holland Tunnel, the
George Washington Bridge or the
new Tri-Borough Bridge. Other
experts concurred.
Experts Disagree
The experts who predicted
further quakes were DR.. L. Don
Leet, Harvard University seismo-
logist; the Rev. Frederick Sohon,
director of the Georgetown SeiS-
mological Laboratories.
The Rev. Joseph Lynch, S. j.,
of Fordham University, and N.
H. Heck, the Governments earth
quake expert in Washington,
were the two who expressed dis
similar views.
CheckupS in all the large
eastern cities, both in the United
States and Canada, where the
quake was felt, revealed virtually
no damage of consequence.
