CURB ON TIPPLERS WHO SMOKE IS AIM Portland -H the Woman's Christian Temperance Union has Its way, no person who uses tobacco in any form will be permitted to receive shipments of liquor in Oregon after the prohibi tion law goes into effect next January 1. Mrs. Mattle M. Sleeth, state lecturer for the Woman's Christian Temper ance Union, told an audience in the Central Methodist Episcopal church Sunday of "a perfectly lovely scheme" the union has In view for depriving tobacco users of their drams. The process of eliminating them from the privileged ones who under the law can ship in 24 quarts of beer or two quart? of spirituous liquor a month, is to be quite simple, as Mrs. Sleeth outlined it. In the affidavit for all liquor con signees to sign they must swear among other things that they are "not addicted to the use of narcotic drugs." The plan of the union is to have to bacco users declared addicts to the use of narcotic drugs. PREMIER RADOSLAVOFF Photo by Amsrtcsn Pmt Association. M.

The battle was preceded by prepara' :ory thunder of the hundreds of huge new cannon built for the supreme con flict and which, for 50 hours, literally rained fire on the German fortifica tions, both explosive and Incendiary shells being hurled Into the positions held by the Teutonic soldiers. With almost startling suddenness thp roar of bie euns ceased.
