By FRED S WALKER "i perhaps when the prisoners are re leased they will know how to keep out of jail. A. special article in the daily paper pays official Washington is "drying up.'' In other words, the writer of the Pollyanna tale believes, or at least wants his readers to believe, that the nation's capital is commencing to re spect the prohibition law. This coat of whitewash is probably inspired by a recent speech by Gov ernon Pinshot, of Penncylvania, in which he declared, "The present era of disrespect for the law (prohibition) can be laid right at the door of con spicuous political leaders in Washing ton who set the example. The eigh teenth amendment was betrayed in the house of its friends." However you interpret the motives of the contenders, it may be safely stated that very few bootleggers are asking aid this winter from the Sal vation Army in Washington. Twenty per cent of eligible World War veterans have not yet applied for their bonus. If you are one of these the war department is waiting to hear from yo% CAN'T COMPEL UNITY MUST BE VOLUNTARY New York.—"If we can't merge two locals of our international, how can we amalgamate the needle trades?" asks Editor Danish, editor of Justice, published by the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union. The editor appeals to delegates to the coming convention of this union to face actualities. "The proposal to amalgamate all the needle trades into one union/' the labor editor says, "is under pres ent conditions an impossibility over which it is hardly worth while wast ing time in discussion. It is enough to recall the obstacles we meet in each attempt to merge two locals to en able us to visualize what a bedlam such an attempt to merge all the nee die trades' organizations would cre ate." LONGER LIFE Assured By Scientific Plan of U. S. Health Service. New York.—The latest discoveries of medicine and sanitation can extend the average span of human life, said Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon gen eral of the United States public health service, to physicians at health conference here. Dr. Cumming's -address was a com* mentary on reports of experiments in Syracuse and Cattaraugus county to see whether 20 years can not be added to the average life span by scientific rare. In Cattaraugus county, Dr. Cum ming said, the death rate has been reduced by 350 persons per year at a cost of only $14,400, and the popultv ion is but 50,000. The saving of American citizens at a cost of less than $50 per life saved is good busi ik-ss, he said. ''Through the demonstrations in i hat county," continued Dr. Cumming "sufficient evidence is at hand to -how that properly conducted county health work will yield a remarkable dividend in the protection and promo tion of human health and in money saving to the community amounting to many times its cost. Other com munities are meeting their health problems in accordance with the same general principles. Now is the op portune time to proclaim: 'Go thou and do likewise.' LABORSREWARD Workers' Motion Picture Wins in Wisconsin. Washington.—The educational and oi-ganizing campaign of the A. F. of L. and Union Label Trades depart ment i s proving to be the biggest movement of its kind ever launched by organized labor. "Labor's Re ward," the motion picture, is a feature of the campaign. Officers of the Wisconsin State Federation of Labor telegraphed to John J. Manning, Secretary-Treasurer of the Union Label Trades depart ment: 'Labor's Reward' made another hit, this time in Sheboygan. Hall was filled to capacity with most receptive audience which pronounced this highly educational evening. Splendid orchestra added to entertainment, Prospects in other localities bright for urreat success." WHIPPING BOSS QUITS CHARGED WITH MURDER Albemarle, N.

The Western Maryland railroad employed strike breakers when its engineers and fire men suspended work because of con tract violations. The road is now fac ing a $500,000 wreck because of the strikebreakers' incompetency. W: v1 i i fc-, The "free and independents" did not know how to operate air brakes and a coal train one mile long got away from them on a mountain a few miles west of here. Racing down the steep grade, the cars jumped the track. The mountain is strewn with coal and smashed cars. The trainmen jumped for their lives when they real ized the train was beyond their con trol. The railroad management is stunned over the wreck, which is charged to "a leakage of air." •Ml'v'.O SAND-GRAVEL-CEMENT The Hamilton Gravel Co.
