DIVING TRIBE CRINCES UNDER
 KEEPER LASH
Suspension of Pool Sends Seattle Squad Into
 Dizzy Tailspin
(By Associated Press)

Seattle's wavering Indians appear bent on pushing the Missions out of the Pacific Coast League cellar. The Tribe had already shown signs of weakening when Proxy Bill Klep- per suspended Harlin Pool without pay and threatened the remainder of the team with the same treat ment unless the squad snapped out of it.
 But, since that action, the Tribes men have shown what a slump really looks like. Last week even the Missions trimmed them three out of four, and prospects are dark indeed for this week when the Tribe entertains San Diego, at Seattle.
 The surging Portland team, which started winning about the time the Tribe started sinking, is now only five and one-half games from the top and plays the Missions this week.
 The Seals, half a game ahead of the Beavers in the standings, clash with Oakland, while Sacramento engages Los Angeles.

other poisonous drug" Mrs. Weiss
 Smith pointed out "If prohibition f had been handled with one one 1 hundredth as much care as the 1 Harrison act prohibiting the use
 of drugs, there would have been
 no difficulty in enforcing it's regu- | lations'
 | Turning to the problems of con- trolled distribution of alcohol, such
 as the Territory is now facing, Mrs.
 Weiss Smith stated: There can
 be no successful control. Every pos
 sible measure has been suggested
 and tried. Complete prohibition is the only answer, and though the United States has taken deplor- ingly backward step in voting for repeal, the true necessity for ab-
 stinence can not for long be l ignored"
 Lost Protection
 Again returning to the need for teaching youth, Mrs. Weiss-Smith
 stated that a main reason why | the education program is para mount in the W. c. T. U. program is because during prohibition the need for instruction was gone, i therefore a generation grew to
 adulthood knowing nothing of the dangers so soon to follow. ''Now
 that we have lost the protection of prohibition, we must put our wholehearted efforts in spreading
 information on alcohol to those who know so little of it's harmful qualities" she said
 Rally Tonight
 Tentatively scheduled to speak over KINY at 6:30 o'clock tonight, Mrs. Weiss-Smith is to be present. ed at the rally to be held at 8:30 o'clock tonight in the Seventh-day Adventist Hall, Second at Main. With Mrs. c. Wade, Mrs. J. E. Click, Mrs. H. L. Wood, and Mrs. c. c. PerSoneus leading activities, the rally is to assemble all Cas- tineau Channel residents interested, and will be the one occasion when Mrs Weiss-Smith will be able to present her views on temperance work, both in the Territory and throughout the States.

her most trying days in the theater
and who had just the night before
scored an acting triumph with Perkins
betrayed her feeling by not the slight
est sign of the deep emotion she
must have felt. McGrath, raised
from subordinate to a major role by
the tragic passing of Perkins, evaded
with equal poise any evidence OF
feeling not related to the role of

ONE of the pleasant things about
drama and movie reporting is
that one meets many interesting sub
1ects. Not people, but things Whereas
police reporters are pretty constantly
busy with throat cuttings, sports
writer's with the state of TIE Ma
tionals' pitching staff, political writers
with the state of the Nation, the drama
scribe awakes in the morning with
not the slightest idea of what sub
Ject he will write about He has ap-
proximately the whole realm of human
activity from which to choose, which
probably explains why some of his
choices are so terrible.
There is professional foot ball, for
example. Right now it seems to be a
subject Of considerable interest in the
community. Twenty-Five thousand
persons going out to see Sammy
Baugh throw forward passes for dol
lars and dear old George Marshall
indicates such to be the case.
Messrs. Keller, Dismer, Stan,
Thomas, ETC., over in the sports de-

can write about foot ball. So can the

September 26. Most of the United States turns back the clock on that day, however, including New York State which has 10,000,000 of its residents on Eastern Daylight Time.
 Campaigns in West
 The most notable extension of daylight time this year was in Dem yer, which officially adopted 1t for the first time. Vigorous campaigns for adoption are being conducted in Reno, New, and San Francisco. Other noteworthy extensions include New Hampshire where, despite a state law prohibiting the public display of daylight saving time, the list of towns observing the new hours was so large the Legislature passed bill in May making daylight time legal.
 As usual this daylight saving period brought forth its crop of oddities. The Buffalo and Niagara Electric Company in New York State com5iai1a.ed that the new time had cost 1t a total of 60,000 electric light hours a day because approxi- mateIy 30,O00 families who used to stay home in the evening now hur- ried through supper and spent an hour out each evening.
