the goods he had destroyed, settle
down and conquer the drinking, the
jurist philosophical, "A lot of people
who drink whisky are better people

Under bill now before the
Senate, the government, it is pro-

version and construction which
would retard erosion.
Army engineers made an obser-
walton after the recent storm in
