SACK WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. —Congress will be 'asked to appropriate more than $13,000,000 for maintenance of the prohibition enforcement bureau during the next fiscal year.

They follow closely the costs authorized for the current year, for which $13,220,405 was appropriated, and also for the year which ended July 1, when appropriations were $13,321,345. These figures do not Include cost of the anti-smuggling activities, of the coast guard, which for the current year were estimated to ba $15,649,940. Combined, the two appropriations total nearly $30,000,000 annually for federal prohibition enforcement. This figure does not include money spent by the department of, justice in obtaining court convictions for prohibiton law violations, nor the sums spent by cities and states. When congress acts on the forthcoming official recommendations, it will be the tenth year funds have been voted for prohibition enforcement. The first enforcement appropriation, approved Oct. 28, carried $2,000,000. The next year appropriations totaled $6,350,000. In 1923 the cost had reached $8,500,000. In 1925 it was $10,012,330, and in the 1926 appropriation bill the cost exceeded $13,321,345. HOLD UNION SERVICE Sixteen Perry Township Sunday Schools Join in Meeting.

It was only one out of many which tickle the funny bone of the library employes and no more extraordinary than: “Is is r.aturai for a male canary not to bathe?” Or, “Can you tell us what will make the muscles of a dead pig perspire?” “About the funniest question ever askeu me,” said Miss Martin Furnas, chief of the circulation department, “was by a shiall boy who wanted a copy of ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide’ and didn’t know the name. He asked for a ‘book about a respectable man who went out nights.’" Among the most recent interrogators was a cynic who wanted them to find some humorous material about Decoration Day. - A girl wly> wanted to know the color of a peacock’s eye for her embroidery. v A young man who wanted to know some proper quotations to write in a girl’s autograph album. “Usually they beat about the bush before asking a direct question," said Miss Furnas. “I once searched a long time for a book on ostrich farms before the man who wanted it finally admitted that, all he wanted to know was how'to color a white feather black."

WANT SEA BEACONS Congress Will Be Asked to Change Laws. Bu United Preaa Washington, Aug. 29. Because obsolete navigation laws clash with modem aviation progress, Congress this winter will be called upon to pass a bill enabling ocean liners in the ship-to-shore air mail project to be provided with special fog-piercing beacons. Raymond R. Machlett, youthful inventor of the -so-called rainbow superbeacon, interested the steamboat inspection service in an alteration of the navigation laws when it was discovered they prevented operation of the beacon in the recent Leviathan air mail test.
