‘SACRED THIRST 1 CRUSADE NEW HOPEJIF DRYS Band of Six Young Men Seek Million Teetotaler Pledges a Year. By Time* Bpeeial WASHINGTON, March 20.—One million signers annually to the "sacred thirst” pledge will be the goal or six young men of the Methodist raith. Traveling In pairs, they will traverse the nation, calling on citizens to sign agreements of total abstinence from Intoxicating liquors. These prohibition crusaders will come from Asbury college, Wilmore, Ky.; Boston university, Syracuse university and Dickinson college, Carlisle. Pa. Dr. Clarence True Wilson of the Methodist board of temperance, prohibition and public morals, who is in charge of the drive, expects each team to visit fifty cities a year—a new city every week. 665,000 Have Signed Dr. Wilson held in his hand an orange colored oblong card. "This,” he said, "is the sacred thirst pledge. It is based on the pledge of a great prohibitionist of 100 years ago—Father Theobald Mathew, a Capuchin friar. This little card is now being produced in its second million.'’ The sacred thirst pledge already has been offered in the south. Approximately 665,000 signatures have been obtained. Minus its preliminary statement regarding the effects of liquor and the necessity for loyalty to the Constitution. the pledge is as follows: "I pledge, God helping me, in honor of the sacred thirst of our Lord and with the help of the Holy Spirit, never to drink intoxicating liquor or to use any narcotic or opiate, and that I will, through life, exert my utriiost endeavors to prevent their sale and use by others.” ‘Sacred Thirst’ Explained Reference to the sacred thirst recalled Father Mathew, who rallied 3,000,000 persons to abstinence pledges in the twenty years after he undertook his crusade in Ireland in 1828. Father Mathew's pledge contained an exception respecting liquor for medicinal purposes. “The expression, ‘sacred thirst,’ ” Dr. Wilson explained, “is a Bible one that shows the example of Jesus. ’’’And when they were come to the place called Golgotha, that is the place of the skull, they gave him wine to drink mingled with gall (beer), and when he had tasted, it he would not drink.” Father Mathews visited the United States in 1849-50. The mayor of New York and a great throng welcomed him at Castle Garden, New York. Honored by Congress When he arrived in Washington after obtaining 100,000 1 res in the northeastern states, congress honored him by a resolution authorizing him to sit as a guest on the floor of the house of representatives. Father Mathew’s biographers report the success of his southern tour to New Orleans “did not meet the expectation of his friends.” Further inquiry developed the reason for this coolness. Father Mathew had signed an address urging the Irish in the United States 1o us all their influence against slavery.

RECEIPTS FROM GASLEVY CUT Population Growth Slashes Communities’ Share. Although there was slight difference in the total amount of gasoline tax money distributed to cities, counties and towns due to the month-early distribution, the total each community received was reduced largely because of population growth and increase in road mileage. This was the answer made by William Cosgrove today in explaining to numerous local officials the drop in funds from the 1930 distribution. Cosgrove was in charge of the fund distribution in the office of State Auditor Floyd E. Williamson. Las - , year the cities and towns fund was distributed on the 1920 census basis and this year on the 1930 basis, with a 200,000 increase in population shown. Result was that the per capita this year was but 48 cents, compared with 58 cents last year. Mileage increased 2,000 miles and cut the county distribution rate, per mile from $36.28 to $33.64 Cosgrove explained. EVANGELIST IS ‘MAD’ Billy Sunday Angered Because Sinclair Lewis Got Prize.
