WET AND DRY
 FIGHT COMES
 UP NEXT FALL
By SIGRID ARNE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9-Come fall. the public may find the old wet-dry battle revived.
 That whi.c-haired veteran of the repeal fight, William H. Stayton, is laying pl9ns to reorganize the anti-prohiaiticnists again this fall under the name of Repeal Asso- ciates." Locking over surveys he has made he thinks the time has come for reorganization. The fi- gures tell him dry organizations are again successfully active. And before they ask for prohibition again on a national scale, as he fears they may, he wants to be cer- tain that the vets know what IS going on.
 Stayton walked out Of his dollar a-year war time job here on Ar mistice Day and opened an office, on the door of which he had paint cd, TT h e Association Against t h e Prohibition Amendment" Tn 1918 that meant he had to endure a great many raised eyebrows, but he has stayed with the fight.
 Grcap Stays Together
 His association was dissolved on December 5, lo33. when the 3eth state ratified the repeal amend- ment. But at the final meeting the members asked the executive com mittee to keep together in order to acquaint former members of any new handwriting on the wall.
 Stayton has found that the drys are conducting a constant march ahead in local communities, helping to pass local option dry laws. There are, he says, 20 dry counties in Florida; l28 dry towns in Massa- chusetts B dry counties in Min nesota; S7 dry counties in Missouri; 37 dry towns in New York 66 dry towns in Ohio, and 140 dry towns in Vermont
 To Enter Locol Fights
 If those towns and counties gre dry because the majority are actu- ally dry all well and good,' he says. We simply plan to enter such local fights to see the vets are as well organized as the drys when the votes are cast"
 Repeal Associates" for which he is the executive secretary, has claimed membership now of 2000 members, men and women who once belonged to the Association Against the Prohibition Amend

Mead, Commissioner of Reclama- tion, who for years opposed moves to put his bureau under Agricul- ture.
 An argument they advance is that the Department of Agriculture finds itself on one hand trying to curb surpluses. while the Depart ment of the Interior, through the Bureau of Reclamation, is trying to put more land under cultiva- ton.
 That argument mas been used by Republicans during the campaign, but in the West reclamation proj- ects are wanted regardless of what happens to crop control.

Busy Miniature Chicago SubWayS
 Have Many Uses

CHICAGO, III, Sept. 9.-Traffic is almost as congested 42 feet below State and Madison streets as it is On the surface of one of the worlds busiest corners.
 The subterranean traffic prob lem is created by 62 miles of tun- nels constituting one of the worlds most amazing railroads which oper- ates almost unknown to those above.
 The tubes, six feet wide and sev- en-anda-half feet high through which freight is hauled on 5000 miniature cars pulled by 150 cleo tric locomotives, weave a complex jigsaw puzzle that passes 50 feet be- low the bed of the Chicago river dozen times.
 Package freight, including every thing from cosmetics to salad dress ing, is delivered to department stores through the tunnels.
 News dispatches from the city news bureaus are shot" to the edi- torial rooms of the daily papers by air compression through pipes in the tunnels.
 In summer cool air from the tun- nels, where the temperature is more or less constant at 55 degrees the year round, is pumped to operate air conditiining units in theatres, hotels and stores.
 Built more than 30 years ago at cost Of $3o.ooo,00o the system is owned and operated by the Chicago Tunnel Company.

ICKES, HOPKINS
 STILL FIGHTING
 OYER 0L. D LINES
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. g. = The maneuvers of Secretary Ickes of the Interior and Harry Hopkins, PWA Administrator, over relief works are only sample of the endless competition among Federal departments for power and pelf in the way of authority and appro- priations.
 Victories have come to both sides in the Hopkins-Ickes affair, but Hopkins seems at present to have the advantage.
 Ickes has not been concentrating all his fight on one front. He took up the 20-year-old struggle of the Interior Department to wrest con- trcl of the Forest Service from the of Agriculture and bat tied fer it all through the last session of Congress He lost, but a bill passed the Senate changing the name of the department to the De- partment of Conservation.

Reclamation vs. Crop Control

The argument for it is the same fs was advanced in the backfire against Ickes, that it was sensible to place conservation of organic" resources under agriculture Organic resources are defined as resources that reproduce themselves, such as crops, timber and grass.

ALASKA AUGUST EXPORTS REACH RECORD FIGURE

Alaska's big 1886 salmon pack boosted the August report of the Juneau Customs Office to the high est figure of any similar month since the records have been pub lished here, showing a total of S26,- 848,871 worth of products exported from the Territory during the month. Of this figure, $22,981, ,569 consisted of canned salmon.
 Some idea of the scale of this August business may be given by the fact that the total exports for last year were less than $70,000,0 900, so the past month was more than one-third of that total Fish:

Airport Costs

With the prospect that the newly created District Air
port Commission will be able to reach agreement on
site for local air terminal the matter Of division of
the cost of the project between the local and Federal
governments becomes of increasing urgency.
Since the airport is recognized as hGDing par
tcuLGr importance from national standpoint and
since its size and cost will be largely determined by
its national necessities there is every reason Uhy
the Federal Government should bear substantial
part of the expense.
The expenses of the Airport Commission are being
borne by the District the entire of that commission
having been saddled on the local taxpayers by Con-
gress which admittedly hostile to the city.
This hostility should not be permitted to foist the cost
of the airport itself upon those who happen to live in
the National Capital.
LARGE AMOUNTS OF FEDERAL FUNDS HAVE
BEEN AND ARE NOW BEING ALLoCATED TO
CONSTRUCT AND IMPROVE COMMERCIAL AIR
PORTS IN OTHER CITIES, BUT NONE OF THIS
MONEY HAS BEEN ALLOCATED TO THE Ma
TIONAL CAPITAL
Already the Federal Government has released about
twenty million dollars to other cities for airport
sruction and during the current fiscal year expects to
release an additional forty-five million
These facts should be taken into consideration by Con-
gress when the time comes to determine who will pay

SEPARATE CONTROLS

Maybe you think that if you
worked in a large building and
someone was going to spend ST.
100000 to air-condition it that
everyone in the building would be
glad. Well, they're not.
Right now they are air-condi-
tioning the Capitol. When those
in charge asked one Senator to let
them into his committee room to
install the plant he growled:
"Why? What do you want
in that room? Air-cOnditiOn?
Why that's the most ridiculous
thing I ever heard of. Oh, all
right, go ahead"
David Lynn, architect, directing
the installation, has provided a
system though of getting the
proper temperature to please
everyone. He is setting up
thermoStat controls in each office.
So if the Senator from Maine
wants it at SO and the Senator
from Alabama at II all they have
to do is to set the thermostat in
their individual offices and every
one will be satisfied.

INTERNATIONAL RIVALRY
A famous war correspondent
back from Ethiopia tells me that
when the British battleshipS we're
in the Med1 erranean, the English
were enrageu at the deriSive antics
of the lightning-faSt Italian tor
pedo shells and their crews.
According to my informant the
Italians Duzzed around the big
battleShipS with their five-man tor
pedoeS-the first in which the
crew rides the miSSile-and that,
tipping close by the British ships,
II Duce'S sailors made gestures OF
contempt-thumb on nose and
fingers extended, as did the Nazi
Karl GraiSar at Geneva.
Old England got her back up"
my friend informed me, as she
began to realize that her majestic
battleshipS are perhaps the Primo
Cameras of the sea, so possibly the
TIC" uIOo4ulGO 4ICCG ID 4ACA dAAoWC4
to the insulting gesture.
When international noSethumb-
ing Starts, nobody knows where it
may end. It is, at least, more un-
derStandable than the diplomatic
obfuScations of the Agadir crisis
just before the World War, and
we may be guided accordingly.
InconSpicuously in the news
from four or five European nations
are repeated stories of mysterious,
small, venemous little boats which
can release torpedoes against a
battleship the way one turns a
mongooSe in a cage against a
cobra. That famous old manual of
sea craft, James Fighting Ships"
for 1885, doesn't list them. 1t is
hard to think of anything on the
sea that isn't pictured and des-
cribed in James. It is possible that
they are too late to classify" and
it is also possible that in the new
sprint in the armament race, the
powers are busy with a lot of
emergency building about which
they aren't saying much.
Building a first-class battleShip
is work of high visibility, but these
