LUCKY STRIKE CIGARETTE MORTALITY RATE AMONG DRY AGENTS VERY HIGH Washington, Jan. 29.?The mor tality rate among prohibition en forcement agents Is higher than thnt. nf the world war. Wayne B. I Wheeler, anti-saloon league coun sel, declared today before a senate appropriations committee in urging better pay for the prohibition field agents, Mr. Wheelr said their work was being made more dangerous "by the wet propaganda now in circulation to encourage law breakers. "Fewer than one half of one per cent of the men under arms in the last war lost their lives," said Mr. Wheeler. "A larger per cent of the men wno ao neia wors m gameiing this evidence have been killed.

An J appropriation of $50,000 would be j c made for this purpose. The project contemplates the build-! 4 ? ing of a sea level canal from the j Atlantic across Georgia and Florida to St. George sound on the Gulf of Mexico southwest of' Tallahassee, Fla. From George sound the existing natural inland waterways would be opened up along the north- . I ern edge of the Gulf of Mexico west ward past Mobile bay and through Lakes Borgoyne and Ponchartrian to t the Mississippi river at New Or leans. g The proposed canal would be c about 265 miles in length, but by j use of existing naviagble waters, it j c was estimated that not more than 150 miles would have to be excavated. Such a waterway, it was estimated would save 497 miles between New Orleans and New York and 412 miles from New Orleans to Liverpool. Under the provisions of the bill the secretary of war would be required to report to congress on the cost of constructing a sea level ship canal In Salt Lake City is a $40,000 monument built in honor of sea gulls.
