MODIFICATION 9F YOLSTEAD Li IS FIIIOREDJ POLL Efforts of Literary Digest Shows Craving for Wine and Beer. SHUMAKER ATTACKS VOTE Declares It Does Not Represent Sentiment of Majority of People. A majority in favor of modification of the Volstead law to permit the sale of light wines and beer is indicated by the results of a poll being taken by the Literary Digest. The vote already tabulated shows 76.597 in favor of the strict enforcement of the Volstead act, 85,151 in favor of a modification of the law to permit light wines and beer and 45,646 In favor of its repeal. The poll in Indiana shows 215 for the enforcement of the law. 114 for modification and fifty-five for repeal. In the poll on a soldier bonus the vote shows 102.97S for and 102,370 against a bonus. The vote in Indiana was 203 for and 174 against. Shumaker Makes Statement Dr. E. G. Shumaker, superintendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, issued a statement attacking the Literary Digest poll on prohibition. He declared that the women are largely Ignored In the poll. "The telephone directories of the United States, from which I understand the Digest obtained practically all Its poll, are listed with names, principally, of men,” he said. "No poll can be a correct Index of public sentiment which disfranchises the women who are also voters." Dr. Shumaker also makes the point that the Literary Digest did not print the same question In announcing the , result of its poll that was used in making the poll. He pointed out that the question originally asked was as to whether the voter favored the continuance and enforcement of the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead law. while the latest issue of the magazine speaks only of the enforcement and gives the Impression that a large percentage of the population s ooposed to law enforcement.

BY HER RING YOU KNOW HER

Know what this young lady is? She's a flapper. That ring she wears bears a tiny replica of a tob-haired. sandal-footed flapper and girls who wear those rings are supposed to dress the same way. This fad started in Toledo. Ohio.

To Vamp or Not to Vamp? Then the Flappers Fell Out

June madness stirred ths blood of youthful PEGGY DEAN that night. A typical flapper, she was unable to fix her attention to the Geometry text-book with the steadfastness of her sensible cousin. WINNIE Craving excitement and knowing that she and Winnie would be a'one In the Riverside drive apartment with the exception of two maid? until the girls' parents returned from a dance, she phoned the home of her hoy chum. 808 VANDERPOOL When Mrs. Vanderpool informed Peggy that Bob would not return until eleven-thirty. Peggy left with the astonished mother an invitation for Bob to call for her at that hour "For goodness sake. Peg—telling Bob to come over at midnight! You'll shock Mrs. Vanderpool to death, and make Bobby lose his neauty Bleep.” Peggy had been making a grimace at the unseeing Mrs. Van. whose voice came icily over the wire. “Well, old darling, you needn't !oae your beauty Fleet***.t ting up with us.” Peggy was tapping a cigarette ■ against her finger- nail. “A little nosey tonight, m'dea?" Winnie flushed, then threw up her head as if summoning courage. “Well, my mother and yours will expect me to sit in if any boy calls on you at half-past eleven with the folks away, that's all.” Peggy sniffed. “My mother and yours and Uncle Phil are twosing and toddling to Jazz on the Yacht Club roof—and they expect me to be sweetly napping In my girlish nightie at ten of a sum mer eve—fine nerve!” “A LITTLE NOSET TONIGHT, MTDEAR?"

Then, with an attempt at mollifying Win: “But, Honey. X m not sledgehammerlrig you, got me. 111 get Bob to give me a swing down the drive in hia gas-wagon, say to Colton’s for an ice and back, that’s all.” “But, Peg—you really aren’t going to start out for a ride at 12 o'clock — alonei” “With Bobby, my angel.” Winnie looked as she felt—shocked and worried. “Peggy’.” Peggy had put the cigarette in her mouth and was reaching for a match when Win's exclamation made her drop the thing guiltily. “Oh, what’s biting you. Win! Don't be a ground-gripper. I’m fed up with It. I’m old enough to eat without a bib. I’m not going to vamp Bobby or anything like it.” Winnie turned the leaves of her geometry. “I—wonder!” Her voice was mua lng. Peg looked sharply at her couetn. "That’s a nasty crack, Miss Y W. O. A.!” For an instant her eyes snapped: then they showed sullen fire. "And what will you do—enltoh?”

came in for a share of Dr. McPherson's attention. McPherson demanded that both resign their positions. “The trail of these men," declared McPherson, "leads not to Bethlehem's manger, but to the wilderness. Those who profess beastly ancestry, should form churches of thetr own. Those who claim to bear the mark of the beast cannot be In full fellowship with those who know they are made in the image of God. “If these botanical, baboon boosters to whom Dean Robbins and Dr. Fosdiek belong are consistent they will see that they form new churches with the sign over the door. ’Only those permitted to worship here who bel]v to V> of h.oatly (Origin.’ **

Winnie smiled. “No. I'll chaperone.” Peggy glared indignantly. Under her breath sounded. ''Damn!” “Say, listen. Winifred Hollis, what's the big little Idea? You aren’t thinking of Bobby’s father's couple of measly millions or anything like that, are you?" Winnie's reply was spoken into the telephone. • To Peggy's astonishment she heard her staid cousin inviting! Ted Harker. Columbia sophomore, to come at just the same time she her self expected Bob Vanderpool.

UNCLE SAM PAYS FOR BOARD 6ILL OF BOLLWEEYIL Experts Figure Inoect Costs Each Citizen $2 a Year for Food. MIGRATED FROM MEXICO

After 30 Years Have Infested Practically the Entire South. By ROBERT TALLEY WASHINGTON. July 25—He's not much bigger than a mosquito and looks even less formidable, yet his annual board bill is costing on the average of $2 for each man, woman and child in the United States. He's the boll weevil and you are paying for part of the damage he does by increased prices for your shirts, handkerchiefs and other garments made of cotton. Every year he takes an estimated toll of $200,000,000 in crop and economic losses.

After gradual encroachment for 30 years, the boll weevil has covered the entire cotton producing area of the United States, the Department of Agriculture says, with only a few ex ceptlons. The present infestation is the worst in history, according to the crop report for July, and tremendous damage is being done. The most destructive of all crop pests crossed into Texas from Mexico in 1892 and has spread farther northward each year. Government experts estimate that a $50,000 appropriation for quarantine measures would have nipped the spread in the bud hack in 1892. but no one at that time had the foresight to see what was coming. N umbers Increase Although Uncle Sam has spent mil lions of dollars and devoted years of scientific research in an effort to exterminate him. his numbers keep increasing. Realizing this, the Govern ment has concentrated its efforts toward means for obtaining the best possible production under boll weevil ! conditions. The only way to rid the South of the weevil's curse, experts say. would be the totally impractical method of stopping all cotton growing for one year and starving the weevil out. This would Vie both economically and physically Impossible. DISCUSS NEW SITE May Move Butler College From Irvington to Fairview Park. Removal ot Butler College from Trvington to Fairview Park will be discussed tonight at a meeting to Vie held at Weaver Hall, Capitol Ave., and Thirty-Fourth St. Orval E. Meh ring and the Rev. J. D. Garrison will speak. Another meeting of similar nature will be held Thursday evening at the Masonic Temple, find an open air meeting is scheduled for 3 p. m. Saturday.
