DRYS FORESEE WET DISASTER i AT FALL POLL prohibition Expected to Be Settled by Crushing Smith Defeat. This is the second of a series on the prohibition situation. BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 9.—Temperance leaders predicted today that the prohibition question would be settled at the presidential election in November by “an indirect referendum.” They contended that a dry Republican candidate, opposing Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York as the Democratic nominee, would win “by an avalanche,” and thus clearly indicate that the United States no longer recognizes a “wet” issue. Would Crush Smith “If the Democratic party makes the ruinous mistake of choosing Smith of Tammany as their standard bearer at Houston, they will be beaten by at least 10,000,000 votes,” F. Scott Mcßride, general superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, said today in an interview With the United Press. Ernest H. Cherrington, educational director of the league, told the United Press that the recent proposal of Louis A. Cuvillier, New York assemblyman, for a rehearing of all prohibition cases before the Supreme Court is “but a feeble move for publicity.” “The foes of the eighteenth amendment are not more likely to succeed in their new attack upon that measure than they would be in trying to bring back any other outgrown social policy which is out of harmony with our advancing civilization,” Cherrington said. Deets Pickett, secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, pointed out that before Volstead Americans were paying about $2,500,000,000 a year for intoxicating beverages.

Dead’ Shell War Relics Still Take Death Toll

Almost Weekly, Explosions of Souvenirs Cost Lives, Injuries. By United Press PARIS. May 10. Nearly ten years after the armistice, old shells and grenades of the great war still are claiming a toll of lives and injuries. Posthumous explosions of these war relics, found in former battlefields, cause casualties of some sort practically every week. Eight people recently were killed and seven were gravely wounded within three days in various parts of France when they tried to take home these deadly souvenirs of the war. A catastrophe which might have cost may lives was averted near Douai by the timely discovery of an old German mine loaded with 200 kilograms of powder in front of the Libercourt station. The explosive had been buried two meters deep so as to blow up the station, tracks and neighboring buildings, by electrical connections. Had a worker's pick struck the shell, as it almost did, war plans would have been realized a decade too late. Although many of the victims are persons desirous of having sinister reminders of the world conflict, a great number are junk dealers who are trying to utilize valuable metal to be found in old war material. Still others are children who strike the explosives just to see if they will go off. AIDS FRANKLIN COLLEGE Indiana Baptist Convention Gives 510,000 to Budget.

INDIANA IS HUB OF BUS SYSTEM IN MIDDLE U. S. Vast Network in Central States Connects EastWest Lines. This is the fourth of a series of articles by Catherine Woolley describing the luxuries of modern stage transportation over some of the country’s most lascinating highways. By CATHERINE WOOLLEY Written Especially for NEA Service anil Tftc limes THE middle west and the east coast of the United States have keen joined by a group of longdistance stage runs, and these, together with the western stage runs already described, give a. passenger service that approaches through highway transportation from ocean to ocean. This is the outstanding development of a period in which the motor stage has sprung from a ramshackle little vehicle, operated on short interurban runs, to a hugqc and luxurious coach that plies over j thousands of miles, daring almost j anything called a road. First look at the region about; Minneapolis and St. Paul, and up ! around the Great Lakes. A net-work of all-year motor stage line has been created in that j section, challenging the dirt roads; and snow banks. From scores of points all through the Dakotas, lowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Minnesota, stage transportation, with changes, is available to Chicago. In Omaha one can take an all-day stage and land in Sioux Falls. S. D. Another stage, chugging northward all the next day, mostly through Minnesota, will set him down in Fargo, N. D., some 500 miles from Omaha. Night Trip to Chicago From Davenport, Clinton or Dubuqu“ in lowa, or from Madison, Wis., one can catch a night stage and breakfast in Chicago. . Likewise, from Kansas City one can go eastward at night or in the morning and find a stage ready in St. Louis to hurry on to Chicago. The flight of the night highway express across Michigan from Chicago to Detroit is about 300 miles, and includes Gary. Michigan City, South Bend, Elkhart, Klinger Lake, Coldwater. Jonesville, Clinton, Saline and Ypsilanti.

A quick survey of other longdistance schedules in the middle west shows how the vogue has spread within a year. One may get a stage out of Chicago, morning or evening, and go direct to Cincinnati in twelve hours. Fron Cincinnati there are stages to Lexington and Louisville, and connecting, lines, some of them over-night, to Nashville, Memphis, Little Rock and even New Orleans. Detroit, Toledo, Cleveland, Buffalo, Rochester, Toronto, Pittsburgh —all these are connected by highpressure stage operations. Pittsburgh and St. Louis also will be connected by new long-distance stages, through Columbus. Dayton and Indianapolis, virtually giving through service from coast to coast. (Copyright. 1928.

AN OLD PIANO DOES SOME THINKING Discovering Many a Hamlet Among the Two Million Old Pianos in America During National Music Week Observance. When at last Hamlet found himself alone, Shakespeare, the immortal Bard of Avon, put into his mouth the words of the famous soliloquy. And there is many a Hamlet among the two million old pianos in America who finds itself alone in this world of modern home furnishings.

Perhaps such a piano standing off i in the corner of some home ignored by its more aristocratic fellows might give voice to somewhat the following thoughts if it could talk. “Gee, but I feel lonesome with all these new shiny things about me giving me the high hat. Why, that new day-bed that came in two weeks ago hasn’t spoken to me yet, and the floor lamp was put over there in the corner three years ago and hasn’t looked in my direction since it came in.” “I wish these people would put me away in a museum where I can be comfortable and, at least, among friends. My old pal the horse-hair sofa, my friend and buddy for thirty years, got the air a long time ago. He called me up yesterday and suggested that I play my worst music so that the Madam would become disgusted and trade me to the antique shop for something else.” “Huh, I don’t have to try that stunt. I haven’t been able to play a sweet note for ten years. I should think they’d get wise to themselves and get one of my younger and fashionable brothers to take my place.” “The Smiths next door bought a new piano last month and the house has been crowded every night since. These folks haven't had company in years. Why, their young daughter had a good catch in Bob Young, but he couldn’t stand playing on me and he stopped calling. He is engaged to marry the girl next door now.”

“I did my best to keep him coming here, but it Just wasn’t in me. The old boy isn’t what he used to be. Well, I’ve done my darndest for thirty years, but I guess I am through.” I “Such is life,” sighed the old; piano as he settled back into his dark corner of past memories. The new pieces of furniture eyed him furtively with faces wreathed in snobbish sneers. He rattled his old keys and made such a terrible noise that even the high hats felt sorry for him. He was so old and so decrepit. a a a

The best way, the quick, harmless and effeient way, is Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia. It has remained for 50 years the standard with physicians. One spoonful in water neutralizes many times its volume in stomach acids, and at once. The symptoms disappear in five minutes. You will never use crude methods when you know this better

You know a clear skin comes from within. Correct the cause—through the blood —and pimples, boils, eczema and that sallow complexion will d.sappear. Thousands have regained their strength and charm by taking a few bottles of S.S.S. —Nature’s own tonic for restoring the appetite building strength —and clearing the body of so-called skin troubles. All drug stores sell S.S.S. in two sizes* Get the larger size. It is more economical.

"Thanks to S.S.S., I got rid of pimples and blackheads. My face now has a smooth feeling. I think S.S.S. does many wonders for the system. Besides giving me a clear complexion, it gave me a healthful look.”—-Miss Angela Annunzio, 1007 S. Racine Ave., Chicago, 111. *‘l was troubled with pimples and blackheads. I took a course of S.S.S.

FIND MEASURE OF VIOLET RAY Scientists Say Device Will Gauge Treatments. Bu Science Service ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 9. Radio amplification now is to be of service in the field of medicine. Prof. Ernst A. Pohle, University of Michigan roentgenologist, in collaboration with Walter S. Huxford of the physics department, has deI signed a measuring device for * ultra-violet rays, independent of j other radiation which comes from [ quartz lamp or other light source, j In recent years ultra-violet light has come to be recognized as a cure for rickets ar " possibly for other diseases, but there has been no accurate means of measuring the quantity with which the patient is treated. Up to the present time the photoelectric cell, one means of measurement, has required precision apparatus too complicated for the average physician to handle. Professor Pohle and his associates have designed one that is simple and dependable. In it a radio amplifier is used to magnify an extremely small electric current so that it can be read on an ordinary switchboard galvanometer. The current comes from a photo-electric cell, which turns light into electricity. eaks Colt on 80th Birthday Mx.
