WETS ORGANIZE TO MODIFY DRY LAWSTJYI932 Want Temperance, but Not at Cost of Liberty, Leaders Say. This is the third and last of a series on the prohibition situation. BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, May 11.—Opponents of the prohibition laws are organizing a campaign to modify | or repeal the Eighteenth amendment ! by 1932. | Wet leaders told the United Press today they seek revocation of the ! dry statute not because it outlawed | alcohol, but because It “violates the j design and purpose of the constitution.” “It is a fight for the principle of Government,” one leader of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment said. “We want temperance but we do not want our personal liberties injured.” The association is not supporting the proposal of Louis A. Cuvillier, New York assemblyman, for rc--1 submission to the United States i Supreme Court of cases to test vai- | idity of the dry lav*. I “That move is fostered by the

National Constitutional Liberty League for repeal of the Eighteenth amendment and not by our organization,” he said. “We believe it is too early for such a maneuver, but we will be organized in another few years for a concentrated attack on the law.” Wet organizations do not plan to unite to force the prohibition issue in the present president campaigns. They indirectly will support candidates known to have “wet” ideas but they will undertake no concentrated campaign such as the antiSaloon League plans in favor of avowedly dry candidates. CLOSE SHAVE FOR WIFE Barber Gets Year In Jail for Doing Job on Spouse. DETROIT May 11.—Frank Elrod is a barber. His wife likes shampoos, massages and scalp treatments; but has no use for shaves. Nevertheless when Frank imbibed some of his hair tonic the other day he insisted on his wife having a shave. He shaved much too close for his wife’s peace of mind and was stopped by neighbors and police. The judge handed down a one-year job for Frank to shave prisoners at the House of Correction. WIFE SLAYER BEHEADED PARIS, May 11.—After receiving two death sentences, Auguste Martin, wife-murdered, was publicly executed by the guillontinc before 150 spectators.

New Sleeping Car Has Its Bedrooms in Attic’

Unusual Comfort Provided in Canadian Railway 'Pullman/ By Times Special MONTREAL, May 11.—An attic has been put m anew sleeping car of the Canadian National Railways. According to an article appearing in the April issue of “The Scientific American,” passenegers will now go upstairs to bed, much as they would do if they were at home. The car, however, is still in an experimental stage. Ernest Flagg, well known designer and architect of New York City, is responsible for this innovation in night travel. Its effect is to give added comfort with no increased cost. The new car is divided into compartments, seven with double beds on what may be called “the ground floor,” and sixteen single berths overhead in pairs. In the lower compartment during the day-time a couch and easy chair form the furnishings. At night, from under the wall, another couch is pulled out and, uniting with the first, is made into a double bed. Entry to this. compartment is obtained through a door opening into a passageway extending along one side of the car at the end of which a lounge is provided. From

this same alleyway eight stairways lead up into the upper berths, which, in pairs, face one another, taking up the space between the roof of the car and the enclosure which during the day holds part of the double bed below. The passage between them contains a washstand, adequately screened, and offers sufficient room for the passenger to stand erect.

MAY 11, 1928

Swedish engineer, built the boat, a raper, during the winter. He plan3 to complete the necessary tests early this summer. When suitable weather reports are received he will leave Stockholm accompanied by two Swedish scientists. Both of Petterson’s companions are experts from the government weather bureau here. They expect to make interesting observations which are expected to prove a valuable addition to what is already known on atmospheric conditions in the Atlantic. The route planned by the expedition will take them to North America via Spitzbergen, Iceland and Greenland.
