MOVE TO SAVE NIAGARA FALLS WINS PRESIDENT Roosevelt Urges Change in Treaty Providing for Flow Control. By Brrippt-Hoirrirn Sevapriper Athnnrr WASHINGTON. Dec. 14—The Btate Department is looking around for means to save the honeymooners’ paradise. A study ol the Niagara Falls situation was started today by department officials, with 'he idea of eventually negotiating with Canada ' treaty under which the fails ~ould be preserved from erosion. President Roosevelt and Senator Robert Wagner <D., N. Y.) are interested, but both are expected to insist upon a change in the waterpower provisions contained in a treaty proposed ea.-lier. Mr. Roosevelt as Governor of New York, opposed this treaty, and Senator Wagner as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee helped smother it. Calculations were made then, according to Senator Wagner, that American power companies would get about $5.000 000 more in power than they w'ould contribute toward building the submersed mid-river dams necessarj to spread out the flow of water. These dams or weirs in the river above the falls are necessary to sprpad out the main current of the tremendous flow, which now is slowly cutting the ”U” of the falls into • “V." Recent rock-slides have spurred the agitation for preservation of the falls, and President Roosevelt jocularly inquired at a recent press conference if the river couldn’t be turned on and off, like a spigot, for exhibition purposes. The power situation, which the President also recalled, grows out of the fact that the weirs would divert about 10,000 cubic feet per second from the center—half on the Canadian side, half to the American. The old treaty provided that the power companies of each side pay one-hal. and receive the use of the added wau.. Senator Wagner thinks the two governments should pay for the improvement, disposing of the power as they wish.

500,000 WOMEN JOIN DRIVE FOR MORAL REFORM

W. C. T. U. Intensifies War cn Liquor, Gambling and Boxing. BY WILLIS THORNTON SEA Service Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—The hatchet of Carrie Nation has been laid aside for less spectacular weapons, but the spirit of Frances Willard and the early temperance crusaders lives on in their successor, Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith This slight, smiling, elderly woman with the white ribbon pinned proudly on her dress, is the driving forje behind a renewed attack by the Women’s Christian Temperance Union's 500,000 paid-up members on drink, gambling, prostitution, prizefighting, evil movies, and war itself. Mrs. Wise Smith has no hesitation in taking the W C. T. U. organization into fields of reform not indicated by a strict reading of the name. “We are a Christian organization, don’t forget,’’ she says proudly. “And a women’s organization. Anything which threatens the home is vitally interesting to us, and we propose to be concerned with it. “Repeal of prohibition is only an entering wedge to destroy all moral legislation against gambling, prostitution, race-betting. You note how openly lotteries are being advocated. “But we are not in the least downhearted. I never saw a peppier bunch of women (than the 1000 delegates who assembled for the annual convention in Cleveland). We are doing the Lord’s work, and we go on.’’ Though the W. C. T. U. is embarking ( for “hext year on a greatly enlarged educational program against liquor, Mis. wise Smith has no faith in the chance of stamping out drinking through these means.

“V long as we legalize teir.pta- * jn.” she say?, “people will r-c----cumb to it. Education is all right for the individual, perhaps, but you can’t educate a brewer or a distiller. They must be legislated out of existence. You can’t deal in any other way with an unsocial and anti-social thing than by stamping it out.” The W. C. T. U. is fairly close to its highest paid-up membership of around 600.000 today, and made gains above losses by death and other causes this last year, Mrs. Wise Smith avers. And her own strong views, despite the pleasant smile that goes w:*h them, are plenty of evidence that the cause of liquor and moral reform are not yet dead. w. cT t. u 7 to meet Elizabeth Stanley Union to Hold Session Thursday. The Elizabeth Stanley Union ol the Marion County Women s Christion Temperance Union will hold an all-day meeting at the home of Mrs O. D. Barton, 2850 Central-av. next Thursday, Dec. 20.

Tali yams be- 1 gan pouring in and in 1931 the Burlington Liars’ Club was formed. This year, after the secretary of state had been convinced that everything was on the up and up, the club was incorporated. "In 1934 we have received 5000 letters, writers straining to stretch the truth to win the medal. We used to give a rubber medal. “We formerly sent each liar a membership cara but this year our treasury collapsed and we had to j ask each for a dime to cover printing and postage costs.
