CHARGES AGAINST DRY LAW VOICED (Continued From Page One) hlbitlonlsts argued during the war the liquor Issue was "not the tem perance Issue" but was needed as a war measure. "An Economic Issue" "It Is not the temperance Issue now," he said. "It is an economic ia- fiue to fight the depression." uingnam saia ine promotion jaw had Increased Intoxication and the amount of drinking In "the smaller places" was alarming. He cited the number of arrests In Medford, Mass., for drunkenness as an example. In 1914, he said there were only wa arrests ior urunicenness while in 1930 there were 419. Other cities he mentioned include ed: Vlcksburg, Mass., Little Rock, Ark., Oak Park, 111., Davenport, Iowa, Mlnot, N. D., Denver, Idaho Falls, Idaho, Albuquerque, N. M., Ogden, Utah, and Seattle. This, he said, showed that drink ing had Increased, particularly among the young. In St. Louis and other cities with great brewing Interests, Bingham contended, prohibition had vastly in creased drinking. "Nothing that I say, however," ne added, "nothing I can say will change the ardent drys but the making of alcohol In any kitchen is easy." He urged turning tne "wnoie ques tion back to the states" and added that financial experts estimated that If the tax on liquor had Increased in proportion to tobacco taxes it would yield si.uuu.uuu.uuu a year. Bingham declared it is "impossible to make the descendants of genera tions of temperate drinkers believe; there Is anything morally wrong in drinking." I Health CONGENITAL DEFECTS The study of the development of a many-celled living being from a common cell Is called embryology, and the science of embryology has a unique fascination. The cell resulting from Inception of the reproductive process has a phenomenal impetus for growth and multiplication. Most of this Impetus Is spent be fore the Infant is born. The single cell, with which, as we say, life begins, multiplies so rap Idly and so extensively that during the time of development before birth its weight Increases nearly a billion fold. In all the years of life after his birth the average human being in creases in weight only up to ap proximately 20 times that at birth. But there Is still a further dif ference between existence before and existence after birth. The former has a qualitative character which the latter lacks. The child grows up to be a man or woman. - -.... - True the child is essentially dlf- rerenc irom tne adult. But a funda mental pattern of eyes, nose, head, arms, legs, among other things, pre vails throughout. In the period before birth, how ever, we begin with a cell, and from this cell there ultimately de velop all those marvelous mecha nisms that go toward making a hu man being. The scientist who Is un will Ine to account for things and events by all Inclusive supernatural forces asks whence comes this systematic direction, this expert guidance that evolves an amazing complicated liv ing being from a single cell. Ana ne marvels, not at the un common failures of normal pre natal development, but that they are not more common. Many experiments have been per formed In an attempt to answer this whence and wherefore. But the mystery lo still profound. Some practical value has come out of these studies bearing on con- TACKLE THAT GETS THE BIG ONES!!

LESS DKUNK CASES HELSINOFORS, Finland, Apr. 14 W) Police statistics released here noted a slight falling off In the num ber of cases arising from alcoholic liquor since the abandonment of pro hibition last month.

Under the riew liquor laws during the first week of their enforcement 411 persons were arrested for the same offense. . Senate Committee . Favors Plan For Indian Welfare ' WASHINGTON, Apr. 14 (ff) Legis lation under which the federal gov ernment would pay the cost of schooling, charitable relief, law en forcement and highway construction among the Indians was recommended Wednesday by a senate Indian sub committee. The report followed months of in vestigation by the committee headed by Senator Stelwer, Republican, Ore gon, in an effort to work out a plan of cooperation under which the United States may make its equit able contribution toward carrying on governmental activities In the areas in which the tax exempt Indian lands are located. The recommendations reportod to the full committee called also for authorization for pnyment by the United States of the proportionate cost In the construction of school buildings, for the United States to contract with local governmental agencies to provide health service and Indigent relief; for the local agencies to afford necessary law enforcement under a plan by which the United States will pay the cost; and for tho United States to proceed with de velopment of highways, paying the full cost where they are built pri marily for benefit of the Indians on Indian lands, and a proportionate share If partly for tho benefit of whites. The recommendations : proposed that the secretary of Interior make a report on law enforcement among the Indians and recommend legis lation for extending1 state laws to them "on all those reservations where the Indians are already partially as similated by the whites and where the Indians have progressed suffi ciently to live under the white man's law." S S g t The Garden I &&$S&S$&$$S$$$4$ How To Select Your Evergreens . Almost all of the evergreens are valued for their distinct shape and symmetry. In selecting and group ing evergreens it Is well to consider their shape If a pleasant result Is to be secured. Evergreens can be divided accord ing to shape into six general groups, A classification such as this makes It much easier to select the right evergreen for the right place. It must be remembered that the mem bers in each group are alike only In shape or outline. Each has Its own characteristics and may be a dwarf grower to tall grower according to its ciass. Group 1. This broadly pyramidal group or tne Christmas tree type em braces quite a few of tho common evergreens including some oi tne firs, hemlocks, spruces and pines. As a rule they make large trees at maturity and make most perfect specimens when growing without In terference. This class Is good for lawn groups, shelter planting, avenues or specimens. Group a. The evergreens in this group are usually medium height growers suitable for backgrounds and foundation plantings. They are use ful toglve height at corners and ac cent at each side of a doorway, gate way or garden entrance. Various va rieties of arborvitaes, junipers, taxus and rettnosporas are Included In this group. Group 3. These are the upright, columnar varieties which Introduce an exclamatory note in the landscape, wherever an accent plant is needed or whero formal effects are striven for, these plants may be fittingly used. The Junipers and arborvitaes both offer such narrow types. Group 4. In the family of ever greens thereare many fine dwarf varieties which grow more or less globular. These are very useful for specimen planting or for foundation planting, either alone or In combina tion with taller growing varieties planted in back. The Mugho pine and Globe arborvitao belong to thlB group. Group 5. The evergreens In this group constitute an Intermediate stage between creeping Juniper and upright growers. All are dwarf and consequently make desirable plants for foundation planting. Two of the most commonly known of this group aro Pflteer's juniper and Savin Juni per. Group 6. The creeping variety of Juniper which constitute this group are at home on slopes where they can spread out at will or wherever a low carpet of evergreen foliage is desirable.
