HOW PUSSYFOOT 1 JOHNSON WOULD DRY UP NATION Shoot to Kill and Call Out Army and Navy, He Suggests. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Yuly B.—‘‘Pussyfoot" Johnson believes that within , six months America can be made bonedry—that ho or any other man "with ability, determination and ‘guts’ ” could accomplish this undertaking. The noted prohibitionist, writing a copyrighted article in the August issue of the Cosmopolitan Magazine, released today to the United Press, outlines eight planks in the “bonedry platform" as follows: “First, I would deal drastically with judges who turn chronic liquor offenders loose with $lO fines. "Second, I would stop the criminal distribution of alcohol, denatured or otherwise, which can be done by purely administrative measures. Attacks Parete System "Third, I would attack the turning loose of tens of thousands of chronic offenders through the parole and pardoning system that has become a scandal in so many States. “Fourth, if necessary, I would make full use of the Army and Navy. "Fifth', I would make the fullest possible use of what is known as ‘double jeopardy.’ Where the Federal Court would not function 1 would call on the State courts, and where the State would not function I would make y*e of municipal courts. I have done these things before and t could do them again. Watch Sacramental Permits “Sixth, I would throw down the stairs or out of the window any department official -who would issue permits for the releasing of liquor for sacramental purposes without first ascertaining if the liquor were to be used for those purposes. "Seventh, when any public official ;harged with the enforcement of the aw made public declarations that :he law could not be enforced, I vould demand that he immediately ?et out of the way and make room lor someone who had the ability and ,’alth in himself to make good. “Eighth; I wuld shoot to kill; by '.hat I mean that I would mean business. In other words, enforce the aw up to the hilt.” $50,000 GIVEN EARLHAM 3 u United Press RICHMOND, Irid., July B.—The building fund of Earlham College was increased $50,000 today through the gift of an unnamed donor.

LABOR SURPLUS IS SEEN / Small Graiu Crops Light in Nebraska, Says Government. Bu United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., July B.—The Government farm labor division announced here today that small grain crops of Nebraska and South Dakota are unusually light and that outside labor will be required only in a few counties. “These two States usually produce heavy crops of wheat, oats and other small grain, requiring several thousand outside men,” it was said. “Unfortunately., this year severe droughts have seriously injured these crops and the drift of men from the South will more than care for the labor needs.” TALKS ON MATRIMONY “Much fun has been poked at marriage, but it does seem that many modern marriages are only short cuts out of love,” said Ur. Edmund N. Kerlin, First Evangelical Church pastor, in an address on “The Gives and Takes of Married Wednes day night before the Y. M. C. A. Bible Investigation Club. Dr. Kcrlin insisted that a saving sepse of humor was needed as a shock absorber in modern matri#nony.

I am writing as representative of the tennis players of a certain “large company” to which you refer in your article appearing in today’s Ttmes. Eariy in the spring a group of, young people hero at the office conceived the idea of forming a tennis club. X immediately wrote to Mr. Jarvis of the park board, under date t>f April 29. and asked liirn ft ‘t could be arranged sc that we m Iff lit reserve a court or two at Willard Park. After repeated telephone conversations. I was finally informed that it was not the policy of the department to issue permits to reserve courts on Saturday afternoon, but I was advised to see the custodian at the park and see what .he could do for us. -f called on the custodian -gsnd was tolu that, if the courts were not anv more crowded this ycaf than they were last, we would have no difficulty in securing courts, but was promised that one would be reserved. and possibly two. 1 had no written permit for the court or courts, it is true, but thought we were perfectly within our rights in usher the courts in the face of what l have written above. I assure you that this matter was taken eye of in a regular manner, and
