WOMEN URGE TIGHTER LAW (Continued From Page 1) wanted the Volstead Act retained and strengthened. Mrs. Peabody replied that she dosired to have it made stronger if possible. Mrs. Nell Berger, St. Louis, representing the W. C. T. U., said her organization’s position would be presented later. “We are mobilizing half a million women for law observance.” she said. “We succeed in adopting prohibition because we educated the public schools and church people to the fact that liquor is an alcoholic poison. We still affirm that truth. \ Spiritual Blessing “Prohibition is a spiritual blessing that replaced the sorrow, adversity and want of the saloon.” Mrs. Berger said that from 6 a. m. April 7 to 6 p. m., April 8, there had not liecn a single arrest in St. Louis, according to newspapers. “Blit you don’t moan to say that is the general situation in St. Louis?” Reed persisted. “Don’t you know crime has been so prevalent in St. Ixmis as to shock the moral conscience of the better class of people?” “Yes, that is true,” she replied. Three Things Wrong Three things are wrong with prohibition, said Mrs. William Tilton of the Congress of Pearents and Teachers, namely; “1. Wine interests of Europe (seeking to market their goods here). “2. A few big un-American cities. “3. An eastern Republican government which has too many big wet insiders, demanding patronage and thus securing for wet or lukewarm men stragetic places in the enforcement machinery.” She referred to New York and Chicago as “un-American" cities. After a number of women had made short speeches and had answered Senator Reed’s cross-ques-tioning. the committee ended the testimony. The remainder of the witnesses were permitted statements. Mrs. Henry Peabody, head of the delegation, walked over to the press table afterward and said: “I wish you would make clear that all of our time was taken up by useless cross-questioning.” The hearing will be resumed at 10 a. m. tomorrow. SAYS LAW TOO WEAK Harris Favors Heavier Penalties for 800 l loggers. “The Volstead law is not strong enough—it does not provide enough ! punishment for liquor law violators.” declared A. R. Harris, deputy Federal prohibition administrator forthe Thirteenth district, today in discussing the advisability of bringing to life 1857 revenue laws, which provide that real or personal property of booze makers may be forfeited by the Government. “These laws should be brought back and put into practice.” he said. “The trouble now is violators are sent to jail for about sixty days and when they get back they're at it again. “if the punishments set out in the revenue laws are followed, violators would lie in jail from six months to two years, fined SI,OOO to $5,000 and | their property confiscated.” Harris said while the moonshiners are serving sixty days in jail their friends keep the business going until the convicted persons return. CASHIER ENDS LIFE Short $65,000 in Accounts, Kentuckian, 65, Kills Self. Bu T'nitrd Press LUDLOW, Ky.. April 12. Thomas W.

MATERIALMEN j AT HOME SHOW (Continued From Page 1) gree. Many of the booths have been constructed to resemble miniature houses. The outstanding attraction of the show is the centerpiece, a Mediterranean type bungalow, constructed by the R. H. Shelhorn Company. The house covers an area of 50x65 feet. Its five rooms and bath were completely furnished by L. S. Ayres & Cos. Major Theme Italian The major theme of the furnishings of the house is Italian. The exterior finish is two-tone stucco, while interior walls and ceilings are finished In different colored stucco. The house is “U" shaped and one of the most enjoyable exterior features is the patio of colored flagstones. In order to further carry out the idea of the Mediterranean, - jazz music was abandoned and an orchestra plays only Spanish melodies, while two dance Spanish dances. Proof that art, science and industry have combined to bring forth this year’s show can be easily seen when the latest home building and furnishing innovations are observed. Exhibitors From Far Away Indianapolis industries and downtown concerns are liberally represented among exhibitors, while States as faj distant as California have booths. 7,. B.
